The con- versation drifted into a discussion of hard times and the poor prices the farmer was getting for his pro- ducts, during which Ryan, who rst sat on a chair, moved to a position near Mrs. Murphy, who was seated on a couch. Certain motions which he made were not considered offen- sive by her at the time, but in thr light of what happened later when he is alleged to have made an at- tempt to take her in his arms, the whole action was thought by Mrs Murphy to have but one meaning. and on this she laid her complaint.

He is read- Iing; this story, chapter by chapter. `to the Beaver Boys of Central Church on 'I`ue. evenings. The is-tory is illustrated by beautiful colored slitles and Indian curios. There was :1 lareg turn out of boys to hear the chapter on Tuesday evening. ito another meeting, when we can `lmve the principals present and hear `what they have to say. But has the principal time to attend all these chastisemen1:4?"` queried Trustee Hammond. Here Secretary Marr drew atten- tion to the fact that this matter had been brought up once before and that it could not be presented as n ` motion twice in one year. If illn - mover so desired he could make it | a notice of motion.

' SANTA TO ARRIVE DEC. 22nd Anniversary services at Collier Sr United -Church drew out two large congregations Sunday to hear the eminent preacher, Dr. S. D. Chown. who for years has been one of the outstanding figures of the churcs in Canada. At both the morning and evening` services, Dr. Chow: brought messages full of inspiratloi for the furtherance of Christian en deaxzgr in this community. Mus.c by the choir appropriately clioser and beautifully rendered, emphasizec the subject matter of the sermons Present and Past Am the morning service Dr. Chowr spoke on The Good Old Days, wit? Anticipation of a Better New Day, drawing the conclusion that the present afforded far greater oppor nunities for service, but was larger; dependent on the foundations laid in the past. The text taken from Ecc. vii., 10, Say not thou, what is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning these, was a challenge of thoughtful compari- son of times. \X7rn-n +1nn -(-`.-..w...n.. 4..-...
