Diplomas were presented to two nurses who have completed the required two years' course, Miss E. G. Niddrie of Hampton and Miss L. M. Lamb of Bowmanville, A forceful and inspiring address to the graduating class was given by Rev. H. Young of Toronto, who impressed upon not only the grad- uating nurses but also upon the au- dience, the high ideal of service to which nurses commit their life and which all should kecn before them. In closing he contrasted the commer. cial aim in life with the sacrificial motive, vividly showing by examples from life that it is not what we get in life, but the service that we ren- der others, that counts. The program opened with a march played by Mrs. D. R. Morrison, fol- lowed by prayer by Rev. R. J. Shires, This was followed by a short address by Mr. N. 8. B. James, the chairman of the evening, who congratulated the nurses upon their 'success in their graduation year. The next number was a solo by Mrs. Reta Cole Dudley. Following the address to the graduating class," Mr. Francis Sutton rendered a pleasing violin solo, which was followed by the admin- istration of the Florence Nightingale pledge. Rev. J. U. Robbins presented the diplomas to the successful grad- uates, then the pins were presented by Mrs. (Dr.) Spencer, who spoke a word for the Women's Hospital Auxiliary, thanking the citizens for the support that they have given to it. A case of instruments donated by the governing body of the hos- pital was then presented to each of the graduates by Mrs. L. A. W. Tole. The last of the musical numbers on the program was a solo by Miss Margaret Allin, and this was fol- lowed by the presentation of flowers to the graduating class and to the Superintendent, Mrs. Smith, and the Assistant Superintendent, Miss Run- dle. Announcement was then made of a campaign which will be under- taken during the next month with the object of wiping off the debt on the Nurses' Residence, and the grad- uation exercises were brought to a close with the National Anthem. After the graduation exegeises were completed a reception for the nurses and their friends was held at the Nurses' Rseidence of the Hos- pital, at which the Women's Hos- pital Auxiliary served lunch to the gathering.

The three notes representing the church debt on "property pur- chased from Rev. H., M. Manning tor $1,000, which is said to have seant a gift of at least $1,000 to he church by the vendor as the and is valued at more than $2,000, were in turn hooked on a wire suspended from a metal cross brace of the church auditorium. Small wax candles were given 16 men and women representing the officials of the church as they formed a circle about the rostrum. Thejr canuies were lit by Rey. R. A, Whattam, the minister; and, at a given signal, all touched their candle flames to the note which blazed up amid the cheers of the congregation. When the last note was burned Rev.. Mr. Whattam announced thal these instruments had been made out for four years but had deen paid in just a little over one year. In addition, he had made a sub- sinntial payment this week on the church manse, and was cased to report that Albert Street Church's total debt at the meeting for all purposes was only $350. He felt confident, he declared, . that balance would be cleared off with in a few weeks. The burning of the notes cere- mony was preceded by delightful concert in which talent from Ontario Ladies' College at Whithy contributed several much apprecia- ted vocal and elocutionary numbers. South Oshawa Band The Albert Street Church festi- val saw 'the reappeayance of the South Oshawa Band in splendid form. This fine organization was broken up during the war, but n has been reorganized under A, White as president and Elroy Jackson as secretary-treasurer. W. J. William- gon is the bandmaster and it was announced that they give their first formal concert at the Albert Street Church, Tuesday evening, October 25. The congregational gathering op- ered with the singing of "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" and a prayer by the minister who, there- after, made a brief address on the purpose of the service. Unlike tne popular conception of those who en- tered the United Church as Metho- dists, he declared that he would take no collection. It was Albert Street's "at home" night to its family, friends and strangers within the gates. He declared that such gatherings helped to develop friendship in the church, and asserted that social life can be made spiritual as well as anything else with which the Church has to deal. That from this night's splendid attendance a greater desire to at- the church with faithfulness was the minister's expressed hope. He went over the various excuses of- fered for dilatory attendance and demolished them; and with ence to mothers of young families he made them bring the babies. "I had rather have four children crying in the church," he pointed out, "than empty pews. I'll compete with the babies in the matter 2 vociferation, but no minister can compete with an empty pew." Miss Edith Widdup, accompanied by Miss Margery Kisbey of the On- tario Ladies' College gave several spldndid solos in which her fine voice and expressive rendition were gratifyingly blended. She sang Come Come Away" which was enchored; «phe Lord is My Light," and "Pale Moon," an Indian love song.

H. Lennox, KC., in the re- cent federal election. Me. Sifton, though youngest of our politicians, has.a remarkable grasp of his subject, and a forcible and lucid manner of placing his arguments before his audience.

He claimed that when the Liberal party came into power, the railway situation was in a deplorable state, that the country did not know what to do with the matioual railways, and that all sorts of proposals were made, amongst others, it was sue. gested that they should be handed one of the over to the Canadian Pacific, thus eliminating all competition. This, he said, would have been fatal, as it would have created a monopoly in the operation of the vital arteries. of the whole country, He gave Mr. King full credit for the rehabilita- tion of the railways in securing the services of Sir Henry Thornton, who had made the Canadian National one of the outstanding examples of successful government ownershig.

Mr. Collis has been with the Regent Theatre for the last two years, and erhaps few realize the part he has played in adding to their enjoy- ment of the programs. Music forms L very important element in Screen- iom, both in the making of pictures md in their presentation. The en- "oyment of many a picture has been rretrievably spoiled by badly select- *d music, and Mr. Collis has always very carefully adapted his music te he theme of the comedy, or drama, wr whatever it might be. Mr. Collis has gone into partmer- ship with his father in che firm of . Collis and Son, at 50-54 King Street West, where he will be very "lad to receive any of his old friends of his Regent Theatre days. While we greatly regret that he has sev- ered his connection with the silver screen, we wish him all success in his new venture. . Mexican Rebels Loot a Passenger Train Laredo, Texa4.
