The vice-president. Miss Ida Benson, took charge and Miss Kathleen Mor- rison read the scripture lesson. Mrs. W. Poole gave a talk on "What It Means To Be A Christian'' while Mr. Warren Priestley read "The Eye- opener." A presentation of The Shadow was a very interesting part of the program with Mr. Murray Mor- rison taking the part of the Shadow, proving that crime does not pay. Mr. Leslie McLaughlin sang a solo after which came recreation and lunch and the meeting closed in the usual way. The Y.P.U. took the service on Sun- day wth Mr. Mel. Sled in charge.

Elliott has returned from visiting his sister in the 'West. He reports his sister still critically ill. Friday while Mr. Barry Elliott was returning from school at Feversham, his horse stumbled and cut itself, which will lay it up for a time. You can always recognize the man raised in a big city. He is the one who is always figuring on how much money he could 'make in the country by running a chicken farm. A learned professor says that the earth's population will rush to the polar regions when the sun cools and the earth grows hotter in the temp- erate and tropic regions. .•Vs this will be millions of years from now^ it will be all right to put in next winter's coal two or three months hence.
