Another successful Oyster Supper and Entertainment has passed into: history with the sixty-second Church: Anniversary, Thursday evening, Feb.: 15th, supper was served from five to eight o’clock and an. excellent supper; it was of home cooking for which the 1 ladies of TeSton are noted. After'7 the supper the play “The Red Headed ‘ Stepchild” was given by the Testonl Y.P.S. and was thoroughly enjoyed byi all present. Everyone was enthusnl iastic about this play and the supper I and had the roads been better there‘ would have been a full house. Pro-3 ceeds amounted to about $70.00. A A Bee Tree While cutting down trees in his. bush on the sixth concession Mr. Bert Ireland had the luck to cut down a Hemlock tree about fifty feet high .and two and a half feet in diameter. After the tree fell Mr. Ireland noticed vapor coming from a spot about thirty feet up the log and thinking probably Mr. Coon was there inves- tigated and to his surprise found‘ bees, “Boys We got a bee tree” and sure oodles of bees and honey. The slabs of comb three feet long and six inches wide were taken out very ' carefully as the bees were active it 1 being in a warm sheltered part of the ‘ bush. A smudge was started to aid in! the work. Mr. Ireland, his son Albert George Cooper and George Brownlee shared in the spoils and pour corres- pondent came in for a nice portion of the excellent honey. Mr. Ireland was sorry the bees had to be destroyed. Further examination of about, ten7 feet farther along a second bee sec-ii tion was discovered and has been}: brought over to Mr. Irelanus .mil're': where he intends to cut. this log and1 leaVe it until spring when care will be taken to preserve the swarm for the summer. If spared this colony will be working next year. i A '1 ‘ i 1 z The Anniversary Services held on Sunday, Feb. 11th, were all that could be desired. In the morning Rev. H. Hardy of Kettleby Baptist Church brought a message which was interesting and uplifting. In his pre- liminary remarks Mr. Hardy said “He was glad as a minister of another denomination to address this congre- gation. We are finding so much to agree upon that there is‘ very little left on which to disagree.” This is a good view of the situation. Laskay Male Quartette gave several fine selections. In the evening Rev. Ray McCleary, Metropolitan Church, Tor- onto, was the preacher and brought a fne message. Rev. McCIeary spoke to the children first on birth, days and gave a very fine talk to the .young boys and girls, then turning to the older people he stressed the important point of building on the wreck of our dead selves to make better lives in the future. Both min;- isters 'referred! {to the sixty-second anniversary of Teston Church and impressed on the congregation to go on and keep up the good work in this community.

Recalling his disregard for hoodoos Mr. Neal stated that it had always given him a certain amount of pleasure and satisfaction to be the third to ‘get a light from a. match, look at the new moon over his Wrong shoulder, walk under ladders and when he enlisted in the army he sign- ed up on Friday against the best ad- vice of his friends. COUNCILLOR BILL NEAL DEFIES HOODOOS AND GETS HURT Councillor Bill Neal used to laugh at superstitious folk. He used to pass up with a laugh all this talk iabout the unlucky number 13, black icats, falling step ladders, and hoo- [duos of all kinds. Just to prove that :he had an inborn disregard for all lsuch he stepped onto the ice in the ‘famous Old Timers Hockey game on lFEBRUARY 13th with the name “ACE” BAILEY pinned on his back. It didn’t matter to Bill that it was the 13th or that Ace Bailey had re- cently been seriously injured in a hockey game. A person with more respect for Lady Luck, Dame Mis- fortune or whatever you care to call her, wouldn’t have taken the chance, but Bill didn’t believe in hoodoos. But now he has changed his mind. In that long-to-be-remembered game he sustained a broken collar bone, and to-day as he nurses his injury he admits he shouldn’t have taken the chance. “Eddie” Shore was playing‘ on the opposing team but whether or] not he was responsible for the accin A North American citizen made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land recently, but it was made under different cir- cumstances than the usual tour of Galilee and Palestine, for this North American was going home, home to the land of his birth. In his boyhood he had tended his father’s flocks of sheep on the hills around the Sea of Galilee. He had come to the Western World, where by dint of his own hard work he had his college and univer- sity education. And he returned to the land of his fathers, the Holy Land of all Christendom. He is bringing to RICHMOND HILL the true story of Galilee and Palestine, told by one who knows it best. He brings not only his excep- tional and thrilling pictures, but also special motion pictures. Some of the Dramatic scenes that Mr. Haboush will show during his program appear- ed in The National Geographic Maga- zine. His Travelogues promise to be a real treat of the season. It is some- thing different, the like of which does not exist. The public is invitEd. That man was Stephen A. Haboush, author, lecturer, and traveler. And in his pilgrimage back to the land of his birth he saw Galilee and Pales- tine With native eyes and‘ with the eyes of a North American citizen. He brought back to the West, with him, a marvellous motion picture of Galilean life and customs, thrilling scenes of the Holy places of antiquity. He brought back to the land of his adoption the real story of Galilee as it was and is, a true interpretation of the Bible story in the light of people and places which have not changed these two thousand years. Stephen A. Haboush knows Galilee and Palestine as most North Amer. icans never can know them, because they are his native land. He knows them, too, as a North American, be- cause he is a North American him- self, a North American by choice and by adoption He is the author of “My Shepherd Life in Galilee” and the Boston Transcript says, “He enters into the feeling of the most famous bit of the world’s devotional literature with in- sight and charm.” People of RICHMOND HILL will be privileged to hear Stephen A. Haboush next SUNDAY MORNING AND THE FOLLOWING MONDAY NIGHT. SEVEN WONDERS OF JERUSA- LEM AND GALILEE," under the auspices of Young People Society. COMING TO Richmond Hill United Church next Sunday morning at 11 a.m., will speak on his shepherd life in ancient Galilee, and' on the follow- ing night he and his party with Madam Haboush will present the A11 Talking Musical Travelogue. 5 “The SHEPHERD FROM GALILEE T0 SPEAK HERE SUNDAY A SHEPHERD FROM GALILEE land Mrs. A.
