when they are in greatest demand increased sales in most businesses would compensate for small profits but with the big oil concerns they take the heavy sale season as an opportunity to bleed the public just now coal oil which is used in large quantities for cooking during the hot weather shot up to near the market price of gasoline no one knows the pro fits of the big oil companies says the financial post and so long as the companies remain reticent in giving out any information the pub lic will continue to lorm their own conclusions upwards of 900 barns were de stroyed last year in ontario by fire this is a most appaiing loss and if this destruction to farm property is not checked it will only mean in creased insurance rates which are quite high enough now lightning is responsible for a good many losses on the farm then too there is the fall threshing and the danger from the engine then there is the lantern which has destroyed many a good ontario barn and last of all there is carelessness if a fire starts the loss is generality total for a fire where there is hay or straw cannot be put out very easily at their club meetings the farmers would be well advised to discuss the increased insurance rates and their cause baptists enjoy eventful banquet pastor fleischer tunis down tiuiptiiik call ringwood e r sinclair is giving his house a coat of paint miss ada

church uxbridge band will be in attendance friday evening was a gala occa sion in the splendid new baptist church in stouffville almost 200 people many of them from out of town sat down at the beautifully decorated tables to rejoice together with the pastor and his devoted church over the completion of the new edifice the way in which the ladies were able to serve such a largo number with an absence of confusion speaks very highly not only for the equipment and layout of the church basement but also for those who had charge of this important part of the evenings pro gramme after deacon isaac boadway had opened the meeting with prayer ww fleischer spoke of the pro gress which the church had made- tis ideal is a holy ghost churchand toward that end lie urged every member to strive the growth that the church had made in the past was gratifying but he hoped for still greater things in the future the churchs mission is a spiritual one and can only be accomplished by spiritual power the pastor then introduced the speakers of the even ing in his usual felicitous way mr wr s whitcombe ba pastor of the markham second and baker hill churches whom he introduced as an old schoolfellow expressed the good will of the churches which he represented and congratulated the stouffville church on their pastor a man whose good name at univer sity had followed him to his church a former member of the church in the person of mr boadway a son of deacon boadway told how many years before in the old church he had come to the greatest experience in all his life whose influence and power had radiated throughout life whole career a knowledge of the sav ing power of the lord jesus christ recalling the memories of the past he exhorted the workers and speci ally those in the sunday school to bear in mind the enduring value of their work mr walter gatehouse a member of the firm of gatehouse brothers who gave so much valu able assistance during the erection of the building also spoke a few wellchosen words the presentation of a beautiful leather bound baptist hymnal was made by mr john katcliff on be half of the church to mr rr gatehouse as a token of thei deep appreciation of his magnificent ser vices not only in providing the plans and specifications tor the building but also inf taking on the general oversight of the work during the course of construction mr ratcliff said that a large part of the credit for the pleasing appearance and the satisfactory completion of the build ing was due to mr gatehouse in replying mr gatehouse said that if he had done anything ror the stouff ville baptists for which there had been no bill sent in then it was only because of his- interest in the growth of the kingdom of god speaking then as the deacon of a large city church he told how that the pulpit committee of that church had unanimously extended a call to rev w w fleischer to become their pastor he congratulated stouffville baptists on having as their pastor a man of the calibro to turn down such a tempting offer as that when he felt his duty lay elsewhere mr j h ratcliff then rose to move a vote of thanks to those out side of the membership who had contributed so freely of their time and money to the new building this was ably seconded by mr wm rat cliff and enthusiastically carried by the church rev c e macleod entertained the company with a number of stories from the land of his birth in introducing the prin ciple speaker of the evening mr fleischer spoke of him as an old pastor of his own as well as a former pastor of the stouffviue church mr loney spoke on the goilden church basing his remarks on the book of revelation gold is the heavenly metal and so the church came not from men but from god it is not a human institution but a divine one there are many characteristics of a golden church and the speaker noted that the stouffville church possessed many of them equipment building the devotion of its members its prayer life but the most important of all in fact that which was the prere quisite to being a golden church was the golden presence of the lord jesus christ pastor loney recalled how in former days he had moved in and out among the people and he reminded them that the greatest of all work and that which lasts for time and eternity is leading men and women to a saving knowledge of god the enjoyment of the evening was enhanced by a number of vocal selections by members and friends of the church xo compromise a large and representative gather ing of progressive forces was held in the town hall beaverton tues day last week while a similar meet ing of the liberals of the riding took place at the wayside inn both meetings were very quietly organized no public intimation be- i ing given a session of both parties it is understood was held in the morning with a view to the with drawal of one of the candidates but after a vigorous discussion of the situation it was found neither mr veale who has done considerable organization work and believes he will be easily elected declined to withdraw as also did j w widdt- field mpp of siloam at the after noon session of the progressives which meeting resolved itself into a riding organization committee proceeding to work ouua strong plan of campaign v while there is no election in sight at present it is recognized that one may be sprung on the province at any time and the part of wisdom for the parties is to as sume an attitude of watchful pre paredness births stouffer in stouffville on july 2nd 192c to mr and mrs archie stouffer a son notice to creditors in the matter of
