The junior choir led the singing. The theme followed was “A Family Day in the Church School," as Susannah Wesley, mother of John Wesley, who became one of the greatest Christian leaders of the world was portrayed in simple dra- matization, showing her influence in the Wesley home. Mrs. Jas. Russell as Susannah Wesley with Helen Wat- son, Audrey Clarkson, Leon Brook- field, Viola Middleton, Eva Payne, Margo Nash, Bruce Findlay as the Wesley children, and Billy Hiltz as the Jr. John Wesley, in three scenes of the simple home life presented the influence of the home training on these children exercised by Susâ€"‘ annah Wesley, the influence that in‘ later years gave to the world one of its most famous preachers, John Wesley. Also Chas. Wesley, to whom we are indebted for some of our favorite hymn-s. Preceding the drama Mrs. John Brown gave an effective description of the Wesley fire, and interspersing the scenes, the story of the Wesley family was interest- ingly presented by Miss Shirley Brown. Commendation is offered Jack Watson and Douglas Clarkson‘ for the splendid duet, “Mother 0" Mine.” The ordinance of baptism was administered when Mavis Trunk' and Wayne Middleton were present- ed by their parents, Mr .and Mrs.'- Vernon Trunk and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Middleton, Rev.

CENTRAL UNITED CHURCH in the present attractive condition. Should» this action- be repeated steps will be taken to punish the offenâ€" de'rs. It is sincerely regretted that the {tulip beds at the C.N. R. station grounds seemed to be marked for destruction by a culprit or culprits that plan only to be an annoyance. The beds present an attractive ap- pearance, and the station grounds are a noted beauty spot in town. During the past week a‘ large number of the tulips have been maliciously cut off, the mutilated blossoms left on the ground. This action not'on-ly de- stroys the bloom, ibut spoils the bulbs as well. This is sincerer regretted by the local Horticultural Society, particularly the station committee, as considerable money and labor has been contributed to put the grounds .â€"Evening Prayerl ii; Sutl'on sad day When one we loved was called' away; God took him homeâ€"it was His will; Within our hearts he livethl Still‘.‘ â€"E'ver remembered by his dear mother, sister Lillian and family.
