The great chorus choir has become
so popular that the platform had to be
extended at both ends. Many of the
high school student are giving valu
able aid in the choir. The faithful at
I
tention of singers, players ami leader
is bringing fine development. The
song service is u real attraction. Fol
lowing it is a message that awakens
thought and enlightens and draws the
hearer back to the next service. Fri
day night's rain may have hampered
the ardor of a few but the building was
comfortably filled- One described the
Sabbath night attendance by saying
"It waa so crowded that he could not
put nis nunu uown 10 ins pocm-i 10 irri
his offering when the plate was
passed."
Few scenes stir our hearts like that
of the large number of men who
courageously took their stand Sabbath j
morning for the moral and spirtual
Utlerment of Ontario. In the after-j
noon the address to the women on
"The Model Woman" inspired many to
strive to attain that ideal. But u
greater movement was yet to come.
On Momlu night when an opportunity
to publicly stand for Christ was given,
more than a score and a half did so. j
The high school had a good represen
tation among these. We dare not pre-,

This is a great beginning, but only a
beginning.

Mr. Haudenschield has driven away
the fear entertained by some, that the
emotions only would be appealed to.
Nowhere is the depth of the foundation
he builds on better seen than in the
afternoon Bible lectures. And while
deep, they are clear, practical and con
vincing. The increasing attendance at
these lectures is an evidence that peo
ple are finding in them just what their
better natures crave.
A Few Sayings of the Evangelist
Follow.
You cannot trust a profane swearer
any pluce. Some people have lived so
long in the chicken yard they have
learned to talk foul language.
I'd put my head under the fence
and ask the world to sit on it if my
name should appear in the paper as a
winner of a prise at a card party.
A looking glass was never intended
to wash the face nor the law to save
men. But both help you to see your
self. The curse of this world is the moth
ers who do not care where their daugh
ters are and what they are doing.
Girls want to be a belle. It just
tukes a little brass and a tone to make
a bell they usually have both.
I'd rather beg for a crumb of bread
here than a drop of water in hell. Hell
is one place that has gone dry.
