newun- der the sun and wealso believe that open air services on sunday are nothing new in canada however when we hold open air services in a small community like ours it would rather seem to be a novelty after the last great war many people were shocked by its horror and said its enough religion has had its time now we do not know whether the people of this surround ing were struck by the same spirit of indifference but just in those years presbyterian mission was closed here and has not been opened again since some of our people here apparently have enough now of the no church system and last sunday evening at 730 pm a com pany of people gathered together on the lawn of mr baker and the grass being rather wgti on account of a shower earlier in the evening niost the people crowded inside as far as this was possible and a ser vice was held marked by much sing ing and a little preaching it was very evident that all present about thirty persons were satisfied by this first experiment having no church building here e intention is to continue these meetings in the open air at the aforesaid place every sunday evening at 730 pm it is easily to be understood that one and all
