BORN at the Band is in Flourishing Condition S WERE ALL REELECTED] Hearty votes of thanks werr tendâ€" cicd to the bandmen and Proi. Paul lor their efficient and faithful serâ€" vices during the year, which were suitably acknowledged by Prof. Paul. Several of those present commentâ€" ed favorably upon the reports _ preâ€" Mr. 1P. J. Wright referted in comâ€" Aimentary terms to the _ Waterloo Band, and said that few bands could point to as long and as fine a Teâ€" cord as the Waterloo Musical _ Soâ€" ciety Band. As a newcomer to Watâ€" erloo he welcomed the privilege to testify to his enjoyment of the fine music rendered by the orgapization. Mr. Beatty, who also commented »pon the reports presented, said he uad first heard â€" the Waterlon Band play in 1887 at Bowmanville. _ He thought the band had probably done more than any other town organizaâ€" tion to advertise Waterloo. He notâ€" ed its long and continuous record of over thirty years as an organizatio1 which was unique. He had _ played im various bands for many years and could sincerely compliment the town on the splendid musical orgavization it possessed. Mr. J. H. Roos also referted _ to tne early days of the organization, when instead of a handsome surplus, Lney had a deficit to face. He recallâ€" ed one occasion when they bought a set of instruments from England for $1,000 or $1,200 and hoped _ to scfray the cost through a 24th of May celebration. The day turned out a gloomy disagreeable one, and they had to make up the amount by horâ€" rowing from the bank on â€"notes to take them over until they coull pay for them. _ However, the debt ‘was eventually paid. But it served _ to show the difficulty of financing the organization in past years. Despite a substantial balance it was nece i sary to exercise every care in order to show a balance at the end of the season. â€" j President Froehlich stated that he was one of those who had been _ at sowmanville in 1887. In those days the band had _ many a trip, _ but served without a cent of remuncraâ€" Lion. Mr. Froehlich said that new _ uniâ€" forms were necessary for the bgndâ€" men and this would involve an {exâ€" penditure of $1,000 or $1,200. Mr. Fred Halstead and others in attendance also commented on the prosperous condition of the â€" Socicty at the present time. cicty has ters. During the past few weeks the band toom has been renovated and _ now presemts _ an attractive appeatance. The room has been papered, the floor Painted, and new electric lights put in as well s steam heating. The soâ€" In connection _ with the open _ ait concerts _ on the square, the suggesâ€" tion was made that the name of the mumber to be played be posted up on the band stand previous to the Playâ€" inz of cach selection. It is probable that this _ practice will be followed @ut during the coming summer. FINANCES HAVE BEEN REORGANIZED Canada Furniture Mfrs.

Dr. Gordon, before dealing _ with his subject proceeded to answer a number of questions which had been The questions and substance of Ins answers were as follows:â€" 1. Can a man be a Christian and have his office staff working in pootâ€" ly ventilated rooms, and _ he have better for himsell? Being Christians implies that we are sons of God amd it is therefore obvious that of we are really Chrisâ€" tians we â€" will treat our fellowmen with consideration, â€" kindness and brotherliness. ‘TONGUES If we take the universal view _ of hic the world is growing ‘ better. The civilization of the Angloâ€"Saxon is deading the world. The world is growing better in every realm. What do you think of the matter oi tithing? â€" The speaker said this was purely a matter of conscience. ©No special division was set down. The principle must be recognized that everything belonged to God and this was acâ€" hnowledged by the fact oi our . givâ€" ing. Is the world growing better or worse? What will be the ultimate _ result of the Suffragette outrages in Great Bfritain? f The speaker said he believed _ in woman suftrage. It was not . a quesâ€" tion of sex but of personality. | He: felt assured that the political preroâ€" gative would be granted to all ultiâ€" mately. The vote had been granted to women in difierent States of the union, and although the actions of the women in England were unwise the speaker was not surprised they had become impatient â€" when they were denied the right to vote. &. What is the most derviceable gift that a young man can possess at his outset in life" The best gift was that of being agrecablé. The greatest asset of the young man was the art of _ getiing along with others, combined with right principles. Such a man is sure to have many friends, _ and having the good will of those about _ him cannot help but succeed. The subject of Dr. Gordon‘s _ adâ€" dress was "Tongues and Ears‘" _ or ‘"‘The fatal Force of Words." An inâ€" dividuat was known by his conversaâ€" tion and language was the oldest gift of God to man. The latest dicâ€" tionary contains 400,000 words, but the average person only uses 3000 Enrich your language, was the plea ~f the speaker.
