The ladies' needle-work and cookery found ready sale and nearly three hundred people sat down to tables groaning with the weight 'of good things and when replete, lis- tened to splendid addresses by Rev. Canon Broughall, Judge Denton, of Toronto, Rev, Canon Fidler and Rev. Dr. Boyle of St. Peter's Church, Co- bourg, Canon Broughall in an earnest address, lightened by touches of hu- mour, spoke on the only road to Teal happiness, In apening his remarks, he told of the sincere pleasure with which he looked hack on the six years of hig ministry in Whithy. "Both Mrs. Broughall and myself think the days spent in Whithy the happiest of our lives, Not that many of our days have been other than happy but we have had disppoint- ments, too, Speaking of disappoint- ments, I received today a telephone message from Rev, R, W. Allan of Brampton, telling me of his inabil- ity to be here. "Phere are many disappointments in a person's life. One of my friends, a parson, once carried his salary cheque in his pocket till it became soiled, When he presented it at the bank, the. teller said, "It is very dirty. 'Are there any microbes pn it?" My friend replied, "Mn microbe could live on a parson's salary." "In studying happiness, we must make up our minds that it lies not in what 'we have but in what we are. Moreover happiness cannot be got if you go after it, ' Money Not Happiness "Some set themselves to the accu- mulation of money as the means to happiness, Money never made anyone happy and it never will, Again and again the man who set out to make a clean-up, has been cleaned up. Others think that pleasure will bring happiness, It will never make and keep you really happy, There is today increasing restlessness and selfishness and we find that the really unhappy people think only of themselves, The man or woman who feels that he or she has a mission in life to do something--better than anyone else can do it, is on the trail of happi- ness, Doing good work makes us happy and useful because only happy poonls are really useful." lowing Canon Broughall, Judge Denton spoke on proper pride and national consciousness in Canadians. "I have beeu in a quandary as to what I could speak about. It occurred to me that as this is Thanksgiving, ft might be in order to talk about tak- ing stock of ourselves as Canadians. A visiting British journalist said in 8n interview that Canadians boast too much, There should be some line between boasting and justifiable pride. Oliver Holmes says that pride is to hu character as sal; is to the ocean; it keeps it healthy. We may talk about our country without "I am free to admit that we do brag. It is characteristic of young nations. We talk about our size, saying we are bigger than the States Maybe so but why talk about it?
