Mr. Stewart is doing excellent work .as leader of the choir. The members and friends of the church are now looking forward to Easter music of high order. Mr. M.J. Johnson has developed a splendid class and is rendering a valu‘ able service to the Community. 1! Spring will soon be here Each member who was called upon to take part performed his task Well and to the credit of the class. Mr. Stewart, the choir leader directed the service of song with Miss Edna Wilt- shire at the piano. Mr. M.J. Johnson, teacher of the class set forth the difficulties that con- front the Missionaries. These are chiefly the fact of domination by a foreign country which calls itself Chriâ€" 'tian. Also the great difference be- tween Christianity So-Called and real Christianity as Christ would have it. A third difficulty is the sense of Sup- ~eriority too often observed in soâ€"called Christian people. Mr. Bryan Sharpless followed with an estimate of the Supremacy of Jesâ€" us as set forth in the Book. The peo- ple of India are among the most relig- ious people in the world. They do not want Christianity because it is associ- ated in their mind with British rule. But while they bitterly oppose Christ. ianity they al’e being more and more charmed with the life and teaching of Jesus. They have accepted the Sup- remacy of Jesus to a very large deâ€" gree. It is beginning to come into their minds that they may have Jesus without accepting Christianity. The Missionaries are also impressing the same thought upon them with the result that Jesus is receiving more at- tention in" India than ever before, and probably more than in any other Non- Christian land. » Mr. Craig McDonald was the first speaker taking for his subject the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi, a schol- arly man of the Hindu faith who sou- ght to set India free from British Rule. In this he failed but his life and teach- ing gave a new turn to Indian thought and called attention to Jesus in a way that has greatly aided the Missionar- ies in planting in the Indian mind the self-Sacrificing Principles of the cross. The story Mr. McDonald told was in- tensely interesting and was .much apâ€" preciated.

THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO L’ Petite Shirley Mason made so decid- ‘ed a hit in the title role of “Sweet iRosie O’Grady,” a Columbia success of ilast season, that she was the immedi- ate choice of Harry Cohn, Viceâ€"presi- Tldent in charge of production, for the istarring role in “Sally in Our Alley,” lthls company’s screen romance of an East Side waif, which is now showing at the Bedford Theatre. Miss Mason has achieved distinction in the port. rayal of the Cinderella type of role demanded by the part of “Sally,” and Mr. Harry Smith has purchased Mr. Joseph Grainger’s brick residence, No. -20, 40th Avenue East, Finch’s Corners.

The winners \s_cored twice in the second period and added two more tallies in the third period. The game ended with New- Ytonbrook winning by 6 to 2.
