Owen Presided The Men's banquet held Wednes- day night in St; Jof's United church was attended by over two hungred guests and proved a very enjoyable affair. Dr. R. B. Cock- rane of Toronto, general secretary of the Home Missions of the United Church of Canada was the guest: lecturer and gave a very powerful address on "Making Canada Christ- jan." The tables were effectively decor- ated with spring flowers and the delectable viands served by the members of the Women's Assccia- tion under the convenership of Mrs. J. M. McIntosh were much enjoyed by all who gathered about the fes- tive board. The pastor, Rev. W. Stanley Owen was the genial chairman and in a few words extended a cordial wel- come to the guests. It was his pleasure to introduce a short musi- cal program before calling on Dr. Cockrane. St. John's Sunday school orchestra contributed several select- ions. The junior quartette composed of Martin Boundy, Gilbert Verner, _ Alvin Robb and Lance Battersby gave delightful numbers and Vane se niet entertained with a vocal solo." In his address Dr. Cockrane con- tended that Canada can hardly be held to be really Christian in many phases of her national life, and graphically depicted conditions pre- vailing in wide spread areas of tne Dominion. The speaker has traveled 16,000 miles through Canada in the past. two years and is qualified to speak on his subject.- He described the conditions on' the frontiers of the new north up to James Bay and in the west from Fort Churchill to Peace River. He told that the respgnse of the East to the West in sending relief in the time of recent distress has had a tremendous effect in bringing East and West closer together. Dr. Cockrane also pleaded for the support of the church by giving of its energy, personality ai means in the time of present stress when the church's ministry was never more _ essential to the needs of the people. A vote of appreciation was extend- ed the speaker on motion of E. J. Smith and Milton MacGregor and J. C. Stewart and A. E. Miller voiced the appreciation of the gathering to the ladies for their part in making the affair such an enjoyable one. On behalf of the Women's Association, the president, Mrs. T. N.
