Americans who read in their newspapers, day after day, that England is governed by Socialists, should understand this. Neither Ramsay Mac- Donald nor anybody else has a right to trifle with the de- finition of Socialism.

Not only chicken but all the other good things which culinary are can devise, Many a city man would take a new lease of life if he could enjoy the homeiness of the cooking which the farmers' wives consider an every- d#% affair. It is a far cry from the day when a bare half hundred of the Pilgrim Fathers set aside a special day of Thanksgiving because they had so much for which they had reason to be thankful. : Then they had faced starvation '| and disease, and many graves marked the place where loved ones slept. - Now, we have such abundance that we cannot understand want, and our blessings of peace and prosperity are too numerous to be counted. Greenbank As usual, the Greenbank folk en- joyed themselves thoroughly at their entertainment on Thanksgiving night. A boundeous supper was, served at which some hundreds of people en- joyed themselves to the full. The supper was followed by a pleasing program, in which several very pop- ular numbers were given, including readings by Mr. John Walker, of Mount Albert, violin solos by Rev. C, 8S. Dyer, vocal and instrumental selections by Mr.and Mrs. J. W. Real, male and mixed quartettes, and selections by the choir, Both Rev. Mr. Dyer and Mr. John Walker received enthusiastic encores. A new feature on the program was community singing led by Mr. Dyer. Mr. S.

Milton Sanderson of Birch Cliff Heights being the preacher for the day. Mr. Sanderson gave two excel- lent sermons' which were appreciated by all. In the morning his subject was "Worry;" he said he believed it to be one of the most common sins of to-day, and a very hard one to combat, but he made a strong plea | for the people 'to put their faith in God, and think on the things which would build them up and make them strong and let the petty things of life alone--and stop looking for slights and slurs but be 50 busy help- ing someone else that they will pass by you unnoticed. The Seagrave choir rendered two Thanksgiving selections and Mr. Baird of Oshawa sang at both services. > , In. the evening Mr. Sanderson preached from the text "Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you." In introducing his subject the speaker quoted an eminent writer who on making a close study of the New Testament when he came to the words -of his text exclaimed "Well that is the best of good sense."

The lecture was most interesting and Mr. Harrington held his audience to attention the whole evening. 'The "lecturer having travelled in Japan gave an added interest as all the pictures shown were familiar to him. He described the quaint cus- toms of the people of the flowering kingdom. The simple furnishings of their homes--no furniture to speak of the floors being used which are cover- ed with straw matting two inches in thickness. The matting serving as seat and bed and their tables being no higher than ordinary footstools, Mr. Harrington told also of the good work being done by the mis- sionaries of the various churches and the Bible Society and urged upon his hearers the great need of supporting the work of the Bible Society which is now printing the Bible in 566 dif- ferent languages and to faithfully support the missionary enterprise in in general.
