' And therein not only have they. demon- strated _their faith in the nancial soundness of Barrie, but also in the true tness of things. A. Golden Jubilee in their` "estimation would have been meaningless that did not provide for placing the nances of the church on a sound basis. And their faith is being rewarded. V Last Sunday` the jubilee services were ' continued with splendid congregations and enjoyable ser-l vices. Earnest and thoughtful ser- mons were preached by the Rev.

Jones on The Canadian Stand at Ypres, and. Miss VVanda Bowman on One and All, a stirring` ap- peal for_ adequate nancial support: for the men who offer their lives-on the altar of their. country s free- doom, while Miss Hazel Marshallv sang with deep feeling, Let mel like a soldier fall. By special re- quest Miss Elsie R-aynor' repeated the beautiful. and excellently render- ed solo,- Close to Thee, sung by! her at the Sunday evening service. The two anthems by `the choir and the piano solo by Miss Jessie Bry- son were also deeply appreciated by the audience. Mr. Caton, Jourdan, who was closely identied with the Crusaders Class last year and is now. at the Toronto University, made a breezy speech in which the still claimed relationship to the church and its activities. Mr. Henry Mabee and Mr. Rhinehart, Who were identied with the church in its earlier days, both spoke feel- ingly of the sainted dead, among whom were the late Mrs. Carson, mother of the church, and the late .Samuel Blakely and James N aylor, two earnest workers in the most. difficult and trying days of the church s history. The state- me'nt`in'.c.onnection with the Jubilee fund was presented by the pastor,_ -who reported between `$1200 and $1300 in cash and subscription to date onxthe amount of $5000, which it is proposed to raise. This he, in- timated would be supplemented in all probability by` a substantial gift from outside, providing the. balance. was raised locally,` besides other advantages to the _congregation' which he was not in a position just then to point out.
