He is indeed a poor creature who is not at least thank- ful for blessings received; but many are really thankful at heart who "Shrink from expressing it. It often implies mental and spiritual effort to overcome a natural but faulty indisposition to give thanksâ€"effort which is good for both body and soul. During the past year, there is not one of us, but has been richly blessed. Let us at least be decently respectable enough to thank Him who alone can bless our efforts and cannot be paid with such price as men fix for their toil. We are mindful of how little we deserve at His handsâ€"our service has been so feeble, so unworthy, so infrequent. And he has always been blessing us. He brought us out of the horrors of war to honorable peace. The scars of that awful time He is mercifully heal- ing over, and hiding hem under the blessings of a new era of valued peace. ‘ He has filled our lands with plenty this year. He has blest the labors of our lands. His fatherly providence has not dealt with us after our sins, but has rewarded us ac- cording to the richnessnof His love. “nits.” Uh. mnnflnneo?

We who lived through those awful days and years of the war know as we never, should otherwise have known the blessings of peace, and ought to require very little bidding to give us a day or part of a day for the purpose of expressing our thanks for the peace bought at tremendous cost, and given by the mercy of the only Giver of victory. It was not a little thing for which our bravest and best fought and died. Nor was it a small thing\their sacrifices won for us. Thanksgivmg for peace, means’ also Thanksgiving for the bravery, the endurance, the sacrifices, that under Providence made possible the peace we are now enjoying. ~ Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD.

Nature’s Way is Best ONTARIO The Ladies’ Aid Service in the Un- ited Church last Sunday evening was ‘a great success. The music was ex- ‘cellent. Miss Bertha Smith at the or- !gan and Mrs. O. D.

Rutherford of {Toronto gave an interesting address 'iupon the larger sphere of service of xL’adies’ Aids and other Women’s or- Eganization in \the church t6day. There was a large and deeply interested an- dience. Next Sunday there will be special Thanksgiving Music at both services and on the following Sunday, Nov- ember 14, the men have charge of the evening service. Special music will be given by the Men’s Club and their friends. The Men’s Club held a lively session in the school room of the United Church recently and amon other things enjoyed nine reels o‘Jmoving pictures. These pictures depicted dog driving in the north, making, pulp for paper, some funnies and a visit to a Tuxis Boys camp. Some winter work was planned. The men and boys are to take charge of the evening service on Sunday November 14th and on the: following Tuesday, the 16th, hold a Father and Son Banquet at 'which a debate betWeen two fathers and two sons is to take place: _ On Monday, October25th, the Young People’s Society held a delightful Hal- lowe’en social which was enjoyed by a large company of young people. Fully one hundred and twenty-five members of the class of ’29 of Victor- ia College came up to stop 10 of You- ge Street radial a week ago and hilt1 ed to the farm of Mr. Harry Smith and took' possession of his bush. They had a most cordial welcome and spent a delightful day playing ball and treasure hunting through the woods and over the farm. A good supper was served in the open, after which songs Were sung and games played around a glorious hon-fire. Mr. Smith came in for the hearty thanks of the colleg. ‘ians for opening his beautiful gr unds ‘to them and also for his cour eous lattention. Mr. James Johnston the president of the Class organization and his executive were also congratu- lated for the fine place they had chos- en for the outing, the good eats serv- ed and the splendid program of enter- tainment arranged and carried out.

Pota- toes are almOst a comple failure. The harvesting of turnips, buckwheat and clover can only be accomplished by the use of a boat. Since these are not among the many implements found on farms today it is likely that in many cases these crops must remain in the field. Mr. H. Flavelle, ourrgenial smith Mr. H. Flavelle, our genial smith has been confined to the house for some weeks. Never for a half a cen- tury before has hc‘been bedfast for more than a day. To have to let work alone and endure pain of limbs gives him double grief. His many friends hope that he may soon rc- g‘ain his health. We miss him at his workbench, in his garden, in his wise counsel and appreciative words in a social way. i Mr. Leo Burton with his wife and family of five bright children have moved into .Mr. Brumwell’shgottage: Mr. Ce‘cil Nichols, Miss Vera and grandparents,eMr. and Mrs. W.

Rev. A. A. Wall preached a very eloquent, original and practical ser- mon on temperance in the church on Sunday afternoon.

Score Ferguson Policy J Your humble scribe would gladly use his influence in driving King Al- cohol from his exalted throne where today he takes the powers that be, bythe throat and defies them to disâ€" turb his_1~eign. My pity goes out to the members of our legislature who look upon the curse as an unconquel‘- able giant and they themselves as grasshoppers. “It can’t be curtail- ed” they say. A wise man says, “ex- pect to succeed and success is as- sured.” , To-day I had placed in my hands a printed paper soliciting subscripâ€" tions to buy stock in a Toronto brew- ery, at $8.50 per share. In Quebec this circular states that the price of stock in these concerns‘ advanced to $200.00 per share after Gov’t Control was adopted by the Government. They said “buy for after Dec. 1, 1926 these stocks will increase be- cause of increased consumption.” Government Control is expected to boost the consumption of strong al- coholic beverages. Who was respon- sible for the pasing of the O. T. A. was it not very largely the Christian Church? Who are very anxious to have this Act, which has made a hea- ven of this earth for many who un- der license had nothing better than hell, repealed?
