S. A. Lawrence.” Rev. Noble said that in deciding to erect the parish hall they would perpetuate the memory throughout the coming generations' of one who was highly honored as a very dear friend to all who knew him and of the Thornhill parish. Among the clergymen pre- sent was Rev. W. E. Baker, of Thorn- .hill’United Church and Rev.

LATE REV. S. A. LAWRENCE Rector of the Thornhill Anglican Church 1912-18 and in honor of whose memory, the new Lawrence Memorial Parish Hall has been named. The new parish hall which will be modern in every respect will cost Yap- proximately $10,000 and of this 86000 has already been subscribed. Rev. Noble explained that anyone desirous of contributing to this fitting memori- al to the late Mr. Lawrence should feel free to do so at any time. The scripture lesson from the third chapter of Ezra was read by Rev. A. C, McCallum of York Mills. In delivering the address of the evening Archdeacon Warren, of Tor- onto, recalled the early pioneer days of Yonge Street and York County. Yonge Street was then but a trail, a ‘muddy winding trail, but through the ‘years had progressed and today was the main highway of the province lead- ing northward. The demands of pro- gress had changed it from a mud trail to a paved highway and the speaker pointed out that this progress was typical in all departments of life, and human endeavour. Our churches change from the‘ old to the new and in ‘all lines must keep abreast with the march of progress. “Our fathers did not need a parish hall” he said” but a successful church to-day demands one.” Canon W. J. Brain, of Toronto, brother of Mrs. Rev. N. H. Noble reâ€" presented Bishop Sweeny who was un- able to be present. He paid tribute to the sterling worth of the late Rev. S. A. Lawrence.
