'Mr. Harrison and Mrs Har- 'Rose. and Mr. James Stonehouse. . These people have given their time most unstintedly. They "have A many weeks on the work and their very best effort ' and Hhonght have been given to the producton of the highly - creditable results, A great many other members have made valuable contribution to the success.of the work; but the per- Song mentioned were the outstanding figures in the under- ing. ' Something over six thousand dollars tos been spent onthe improvements, and at the time of writing about $5600 'has been subscribed, so that in all probability the whole indebted- ness will be wiped off in the immediate future. This 1s a remarkable showing in view of the fact that a large amount was subscibed for the National Campaign Fund. * In the basemerit a great deal of work had to be done be- cause it was found that the sleepers had become considerably rotted. Three news classrooms have:been put in, and the whole interior of the schoolroom has been rearranged, and a new entrance has been made at the east side of the church base- ment, the old entrance now being used for the Primary De- partment. The former primary room has been converted into a furnace room and kitchen, and the many changes have much improved the room for Sunday School purposes. In the auditorium no material changes were made to the building, except in 'the matter of re-decoration and the instal- lation of a new lighting system. ' But the change in decora- tion has been so complete that one would hardly recognize the place. The colorings are very simple; cream walls and dark woodwork, without any stencilling or other decoration. = The general effect is very pleasing. The re-opening Services Sunday were very largely at- tended, ~and the sermons by Rev. Dr. R. N. Burns were of an smingtty helpful and practical character, and were greatly preciated. In the afternoon the Sunday Sehool room was well filled, and @ pleasing programme wat given. Mr. Jas.

E. Boyce, was an inspiration, and showed the high quality of music which Port Perry singers éan give.. It was pleasing to see a num- ber of the early members of the choir in their places. The grand event for the general public was the chicken pie supper. The ladies are to to be complimented upon the ex- cellence of the meal given and the orderly manner in which the large crawd was handled, so that all were comfortably seated, and were able to enjoy the sipper thoroughly. The concert was attended by about seven hundred people. The talent was well received by the audience and several encores were given. Miss Pearl Newton gave several num- bers, all of which were applauded. Her best numbers were that of a miner going home to see his mother after an absence of many years, and her final number, which was of a patriotic nature. .- _The violin solos b Mr. Stouffer were splendid. His technigue was good and his rendering of Dvorak's Humoresque was all that could be desired. Of the local soloists, Misses Miller and Mark and Mr. Mr. Boyce sang very acceptably. Miss Miller's solo was ex- ceptionally well suited to her voice. Excellent organ selections were given by Mr. Follick and Mr. Boyce preceding the con- cert.
