HOLD SPLENDID RALLY Splendid Addresses and Elec- tion of Officers Feature ; the Sessions The annual fall rally of the Whit- by-Lindsay, association of Baptist oung People's Unions took place in this city yesterday at the First Baptist Church, Despite the incle- ment weather, many travelled from outside points to. enjoy the program arranged by the association executive as well as the hospitality of the Osh- awa BY.PU, * The very damp "Welcome" that graced the lawn beside the church was more than made up for when the guests entered the building to be received by the president, Miss Peggy Rice and other officers of the local union. Much preparation had been made by the various committees and those in charge deserve credit for the helpful features thep provid- ed. Exhibits or Work In the basement of the Sunday school building much interest was shown in the posters made by mem- bers of the Oshawa union and dis- played in the interests of the BY, P.U. There was also an exhibit of articles made for missionary boxes destined for India, These included hospital dressings, coloured hand- kerchiefs, needle-hooks, bags of sev- eral varieties, infants' vests, cards and scrap books such as the mission- aries ask for in connection with their school work. The Baptist Book Room of Toronto also had a display of young people's baoks, helps, read- ing courses, topics, pledges, organiz- ation suggestions, testaments, em- blems and pins. This corner proved There are not more than | very popular with those interested in | BY.RU methods and many sales weg pe, Afternoon Session A+ two-thirty o'clock, the after- noon session opened with a devo- tional service conducted by the hon- orary president, Rev, Gordon Holmes of Lindsay. Miss Peggy Rice follow- ed with a brief address of welcome to the visitors and Miss Sadie Evans of Claremont made a fitting reply. The minutes of the last Thanks- giving rally and of the June meet- ing, were read by the secretary- treasurer, Miss Beulah Galt and ap- proved. The financial statement was also read and adopted and the voll called. The roll &all was responded to by cach society standing and giv- ing a song or a verse of scripture in concert, One of their number then presented a report, outlining their year's activities and telling of any special features that had been successfully tried out in their meet- ings. The reports were more than usually interesting and made for ex- change of idcas beiween the several groups. An invitation was received at this point from the Whitby so- ciety for next Thanksgiving Day, when the rally will meet in the coun- ty town. A motion was also intro- duced regarding an associational | picnic to be held during the summer. his received favourable notice, was duly carried and placed in the hands of the executive, Group Discussion The next item on the programme took the form of a group discussion "Standards of Success in the BY, PU." The subject was introduced by Miss Beulah Galt who outlined the | topiz with use of a black-board and | assigned the various groups. Fifteen minutes was spent in sectional dis- cussions, each group treating some one heading under the main subject, When all came together again, re- ports on the findings of each group, were made by the leaders. Mr. Lorne Fenton reported on the Social stand- ard, Mr, Crook on the Development of Talent, Mr, Archic Goldsnfith spoke well on team-work and was followed by Miss Ada Letson on Stewardship. Mr, Joe Wilkins treat- ed Leadership, giving the pros and cons of the group system of organiz- ation, Peggy Rice reported on Esta- blishing Right Relationships and Don Rice dealt with the motto "Loyalty to Christ" showing how such a standard" would affect all other standards of success in a young people's society, All speakers pre- sented their material ably and were well received, The delegates were warm in their praise of the Oshawa union for taking the lead in the discussion, feeling that the subject had been more thoroughly and pro- fitably treated than had been possible on previous occasions when discus- sion was general and took place in one body with one leader in charge, Rev. Mr. Sutcliffe Following the study period, a nom- inating committee was appointed to beet between sessions and bring in a report at the evening meeting. Mr. Sutcliffe, pastor of Murray Street Baptist Church, Peterboro was then introduced by Rey, Holmes, Mr. Sutcliffe is a speaker new to the young people of this district and he made a real impression in his ad- dress, "Going Ahead." The theme of the afterncon's programme reached a fitting climax in Mr. Sutcliff's ad- dress and he left with keen anticipation of his evening's message. The afternoon session closed at five-thirty and very soon afterwards supper was served in the Sunday school rooms when a most pleasant social time was enjoyed and a deli- cious and well seryed meal was pro- vided by the Oshawa ladies. At this point in the proceedings "yells" were given which left no doubt as to the particular city, town or village in which the yells originated: Evening Session Features of the evening session, which opened at seven-thirty, were the deyotional period lg Miss Doris Edwards of Lindsay and the presi- dent's address by Leonard J. Rich of Whithy . Mr. Rich spoke on the subject of the Talents, making an his hearers ; TEPPTTTRTTTTETTTETTTTETE . WEATHERMAN Gosh, ain't life a Puzzling play? Thanksgiving--Turkey--- Hash, today. Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day have come and gone and today is just Tuesday. Oshawans who looked forward to a double holiday to rest up from their labors are back to work to- day, looking forward to the next holiday to rest up from the last holiday. It's a great life-- The Weatherman was partly right--and partly wrong--about the weather, and partly right and partly wrong about the turkey, but the celebration was staged, just the same, even if it did rain at times and even if the turkey, in many places was shoved off the bill of fare and hash substituted. Many Oshawans spend the holi- day with their country cousins-- there is always a better chance for turkey back home on the farm: Motor cars lined the highways yesterday as the homeward trek be- gan, Some of the women drivers are doing better now, they're beginning to understand how to aim the thing. And many Oshawans went to res. taurants on Thanksziving day and ate their turkey there. The housemaid was given day off. Train up a housemald in the way she should go, and the first thing you know, she's gone! One man eating alone yesterday was heard to mutter in lien ot grace. "What the world needs to- day is more permanent wives ana less permanent waves." Yesterday at,the fashionable ho tels the men were displaying wi bones and ths women were display ing backbones, When a man exposes himself he catches cold, but a girl catches uo husband, On the Oshawa-Toronto hirhway last nicht, a string of cars nearly a mile long was held in check by a horse and buggy. The poor old horse led the pro- ession, He was a wonderful thing too-- No buttons to push about him--No horn to honk, no clutch to slip, no park to miss, no gears to strip, no license to buy, no gas bills, no speed cop churging in his rear. His inner tubes were all OK, his spark plugs never missed, his mo- tor power was all right, and uw just chugeed along at 4 miles an hour, while the sworting gas econ- traptions were piled up, line on line but couldn't pass because of autos going in the other direction, Halil! Dobbin-- His body never changes in style and he's got a lot on the auto yet. One careful driver was noted near the C.N.R, crossing--He toot- ed his horn to let the train know he was coming. But it's all over now-- | The holiday--the turkey and all fixin's, Today is Tuesday and hash. Partly cloudy and cool is the word. Not too bad for November, HOLIDAY SPIRIT 1S NOT DIMMED BY GLOOMY SKIES Thanksgiving Day quietly in Ohsawa, It was a gloomy day ar far as the weather was ccneerned, but it takes more than gloomy skies and rain to dull the Thanksgiving hol- iday spirit, Turkey, goose, duck, chicken, pork, heef or even Irie, stew are just as enjoyable in the shadows as 'in the sunshne, in the eyes of the truly thankful person, and even if the rain did rob the popu- lace of outdoor p'easures, there was still entertainment aplenty, within, Theatres packed them in and skaters enjoyed the fine sheet of ice at the Oshawa rink. Motorists pack:sd the highways, after a day spent with relatives in country or 'city. It was a quiet Thanksgiving-- but a thankful one, nevertheless, the the was spent appropriate and interesting address, Vocal selections were rendered dur- ing the evening by the Whithy mixed quartette and the Lindsay ladies' quartette, Both numbers were well received and heartily applauded, : Officers Named The report of the nominating com- mittee was received as follows: Honorary President, Rey. W, 1. Best of Whithy; President, Miss Hope Kitchener of Lindsay, Vice- president, Mr, Lickorish of Clare- mont, Sceretary-treasurer, Miss Beu- {lah Galt of Oshawa, These officers were introduced by Mr, Rich, re- tiring president, who handed over the chair to Miss Kitchener, After a a few words of appreciation, Miss Kitchener called upon Mr, Sutcliffe for the address of the evening. Mr, "Sutcliffe took as his "Four Peas in a Pod" His points wera, Purpose, Prayey, Praise and Perseverance and in presenting them he made a strong appeal to his young audinece and gaye them a high aim to set up in their local sozieties, Mr, Sutcliffe received the closest atten- tion throughout and was evidently appreciated greatly by the young people. It is to be hoped that this will not be the last yisit he may make to our young people's societies. The next meeting of the Whithy- Lindsay B.Y.P.U's in rally will be Leld in June at Uxbridge. > topic, OSHAWA AMATEURS ARE ALL SET FOR BIG PRODUCTION Rotary Hall Has Been Roy- ally Fitted Out as a Little Theatre Rotary Hall in Rotary Park is the scene of much activity these days. Workers are coming and going all day long putting the hall in readi- ness for the opening of the Oshawa Little Theatre on Wednesday even- ing, No one, unfamiliar with the work, realizes the vast amount of detail there is in connection with the pro- duction of the plays, and the num- ber of people required. Costumes are to be chosen and in many cases scenery to be built and painted, lights to be adjusted, drgp curtains to be installed, and furniture suitable to the various plays procured, In ad- dition there 1s the hard work of the players themselves" who have been rehearsing every day for weeks. All the work is voluntary and Osh- awa citizens generally will be greatly surprised at the talent of some of the local people, It is the intention of the players to present the lighter, as well as the heavier, drama and, as many types of players are required any one with acting ability will be welcomed. Four short plays are being pres- ented for the opening, ranging from grave to gay and for the balance of the season, many well known pro- ductions will be put on, Local people in the cpening cast are: --Mrs, C. M. Mundy, Mrs. Al- lan Phillips, Mpns, Clifford Henry, Mrs, H. J. Bull, Mrs. W. M. Rob- ertson and Miss M, Callaghan; while the male members are, Messrs. E, C, C. Southey, Major E. C. Hodgins, R, M.

This 1s contradic- ted by officials who state that formal is quite optional. sivihiad \ ARMISTICE DAY IS OBSERVED AT FIRST BAPTIST Honor Roll of the Church Read Slowly and Impressively Armistice Day was observed by the First Baptist congregation with a view to being in harmony with. the mass of the Christian congregations throughout the land, The morning service opened with a stanza of He- her's Holy, Holy, Holy, followed with the two minutes of silent prayer suc- cegded by the solemn strains of the "Dead March," by Handel, The sermon was based on the text "Greater love hath no man than this, {hat a man lay down his life for his friends, The honoured names on the Honor Roll of the church were read slowly and impressively. For the benefit of the younger. por- tion of the congregation a brief refer- ence was made to the reasons for Canada's entering into the great con- flict and this was followed by a state- ment of some obligation in regard ing under the leadership of "The Captain of our Salvation." The choir, under the leadership of Jas, Hurst and with David Jenkins as organist, were congratulated on their reverent and interpretive ren- dering of "O Canada" which seemed to fit into the service as perfectly as if it had*been composed for the oc- casion, Deaths MRS, REBECCA HEWITT For 65 years a resident of On- tario and for the last six years a ¢itizen of Oshawa, Mrs, Rebecca | Hewitt died in her 91st year at the residence of her daughter, Mrs, 8, Pike, 574 Simcoe street north, last night, Mrs, Hewitt was well-known in this city and also in Hamilton, where she resided after coming to Canada, Until her death she pos- sessed all Mer faculties, She was taken ill and was confined to her bed only five days ago.

Capt. Ernest Har ston and Rev. Capt. Jar rett Officiate -- Wreaths Placed on Cenotaph Possibly the most impressive mili- tary demonstration since the occa- sion of the signing of the Armistice, the divine regimental service Sunday was held amid an atmosphere of sacred memories in Simcoe strect United church. Veterans of the Great War, families knew the pang of ach- ing hearts when loved ones to return from Flanders, with many of the youth who do not seem to realize the true meaning of such an event gathered together to do honor to those boys, who gave their lives for their country, Flushed {dces could be scen as the organ chimed the hour of eleven, and a few tears arose as that unbreakable silence pre- ceeded the marvellously rendered solo, "Trumpeter." A Great Meaning Armistice Day throughout the country has come to mean a great deal to those who have suffered at the hands of the Great War, and al- though sorrow is still written on some faces, a faint cheery light be- comes visible when each year, the memory of those who died is solemn- ly immortalized. Regimental Parade Assembling into marching order at the armories, the 34th Ontario Regiment and the Canadian Legion Post 43, paraded to the church and took their places in the front central section, The church was filled to ca- pacity, Rev, Captain Ernest Harston, past- or, and Rev. Captain F, C, Jarrett were the officiating clergy. At 10.50 o'clock the doors of the church were closed and the organ prelude began. Sharply at 11.o0'clock two min- utes silence was observed. The si- lence was awe-inspiring and minds drifted back to that November 11 of 1918 when the first word of peace encircled the whole globe. Revelling and merrymaking were then quite in order, but now the signing of the Armistice is commemorated in two minutes' silence for those who made our country saie for us to work our industries in peace, Impressive Offering George Fleming who sang the "Trumpeter" could not have made a greater impression on the congrega- tion and the words of the weli- known composition served to bring back with vividness the meaning of the immortal poem by Col. John C, McRae, "In Flanders Fields." The strains of the first hymn "O, God our help in ages past" rang through the church, it seemed long after the organ ceased to produce the music. It was a wonderful effect, that great congregation joining in the singing of a great hymn. * The memory of Sunday morning will linger in the minds of those who wit- nessed the service until the time comes for another commemoration on November 11, next year. Rev. Mr, Harston "There is nothing that so furthers war among the nations of the world than hatred in the hearts of men" stated Rev, Mr, Harston in his ad- dress, "War is deviltry and hatred breeds that deviltry which causes men to war against men and inflict upon the peoples of the earth a great scourge," Mr, Harston preached one of the most forceible sermons which the people of Oshawa have had an opportunity to hear, In making statements anti-war, he outlined the life of Joseph in the time when Egypt was one of the greatest empires, He pointed out the folly of war, the terrible disastrous effects it has on the minds of men, He spoke of it as the result of barbaric nature, the ai- terglow of a great hatred let loose to prey upon the nations of the earth, Life of Joseph Outlining the life of Joseph in Bi- blical times from his miraculous es- cape from death at the hands of his brothers until Joseph at last became the first power in the land, the speak- er showed that there was a higher power which controlled the mind of the great ruler. "The life of Joseph is one of the most thrilling in the annals of his- tory" the preacher pointed out. "The story of his life is intensely human and yet it permeated with the Di- vine. When we follow the life his- tory of Joseph, we must reckon with the fact that Joseph was truly a great soul" . True Qualities ! "He was always the same, in pri- son or palace, the very soul of honor, When in jail, mingling with other prisoners, the great qualities of this man came to the forefront, When at the helm of the government, his true qualities saved many a situation, Test of Prosperity "One of the greatest tests which may be set before mortal man, is the test of prosperity" Mr. Harston said emphatically, "Here too, Joseph's qualities remained stable, When the products of the land were bountiful, Joseph placed the matter evenly be- fore him and the prosperity of the country was a cup which he could carry without trembling." Drawing mear to his real theme, that eof the outlawry of hatred from the mortal mind, the speaker took special eare to first point out the situation mn which Joseph found him- self after receiving the homage of an entire nation. His brothers, desir- failed | ed his death through hatred and jeal- ous fears of his rising to power, Their plans, the speaker showed, were un- successful. Joseph rose to power and shortly afterwards his brothers were brought before him for punishment. Joseph had the opportunity to avenge their cruel deeds. a Forgets Revenge ("A man must be a big man to for- give the injuries of youth," said Mr, Harston, "but God came to the aid of the avenger, and worked to His own advantage the situation befbre Him, When Joseph saw that the Lord was using the predicament of the brothers to further His own plans for the weliare of His people, he discarded the thought of revenge and flung forever the desire of his youth irom his heart. In a splendid manner Mr. Harston showed how the Lord takes many situations such as this into his own hands and ultimately metes out be- fore eternity the punishment. that is due. He appealed to the congrega- tion and especially the soldiers pres ent to lay hold of 'this attitude of Jo- seph 1m the manner in which he dealt with his brethren, This experience oi Joseph throws light on the world's darkest prob- lems, The problem of the relation of {good to evil, is too big for the mind of man to solve, but the experience of Joseph throws great light on the whole question. "When death intervenes in the life of man, it doesn't mean that God engineers the cause, stated tl.e speak- er. "There are many calamities come through the lives of nations by care- lessness and hatred of man. Is God to be blamed if man fills the air with poisonous gasses and high explo- sives? They are mot in accordance with God's plans; they are against the plans of the Almightly, Splendid Manhood "Even while the hell of war was being passed through by many of our sons, there was being established a splendid manhood, Those men suf- fered, nay, they became a kin to Christ. The Son of Man went through the Garden of Gethsemane, so did our boys. at the front; Christ mounted the hill bearing his own cross, and likewise did the men who fought for their country: Christ died for man, these men died also. They have found a resurrection in Christ, "The message I bring to you, he said, "is a message oi optimism, of good cheer, of good courage. If we wait patiently we will see the work. ing out of the plans of God, Indeed, we are seeing it now.
