LUERY Myrtle Station, Feb. 11--Rev. H. J. Pritchard, D.D., of Victoria Uni- versity, Toronto, occupied the pulpit on Sunday afternoon. In spite of the blizzard-like storm that swept over this area all day Sunday, a few braved the elements to hear Dr. Pritchard. It was Visitation Day throughout Oshawa Presbytery and we hope that all who were able to attend their own church serivce, derived as much pleasure in hearing their visiting minister as we did in lis- tening to Dr, Pritchard. The idea of Visitation Day was to link the University and College to the pastoral charges. His question was, "What are we going to do to get the moral training in the hearts and minds of the boys and girls--in the home training--in the Sunday school training--in the day school training?" Dr, Pritchard made it very evident to us that this is the foundation of al] training. Sunday school and church service next Sunday at the regular hours, 10 am, and 11 a.m., respectively, Miss Doreen Williams of Toronto was with her grandmother, Mrs. Robert Britton, over the weekend. 'Doreen was the soloist on Sunday afternoon and sang in her usual good form. Her choice was Briggs' composition of, "Hold Thou My Hand." Mrs, Archie Johnson is home again after being for several days with her sister, Mrs. James Gibson of Greenwood, whose husband pass- ed away last week, Mrs. Ceci] Walsh arrived home from Chicago on Sunday night. During her visit the Windy City was in the grip of the same zero and sub-zero weather that we have suf- fered here. It was pleasant to waken on Tuesday morning to find the sun shining and no snow storm over the countryside. Heavy snow storms blocked roads and isolated villages have been and still are much to the fore in conversations, daily newspapers and radio news comments--and for good r Today's Short Story MOCK ORANGE BLOSSOMS By Carol Ely Harper "47OUR name, 'Marguerite' , ,. 1 love it , . . " Leslie, long, thin, brown of hair, with tired grey eyes behind thick glasses, lay open shirted, bare of brown arms, upon his side, and looked wistfully up at the girl in yellow gingham beside him, "Do you, Leslie?" Marguerite, roud head high in black cap ot ttle girl curls, braided a c! of scented red clover and smiled down at the young farmhand stretched beside her. About their slope, western hills vibrant with summer growth shook out breath of wild che and mock orange, wild blackberry, and hi shrub and and low. Below them the winding, now lost, now Fltiering line of a mountain creek mov through sun ht and shadow in a darkly tree-lined canyon.

When we just sit and say nothing. I've never been able to relax with a girl before. 1 don't know how to explain it -- Ever since I first met you -- " The memory of that first meeting passed through Les lie with fleeting pain like the flick of a taut branch eaping up, break- ing off a film of first flowers: 80 beauty always hurt him. : 1 She had been Howard's girl Howard was his employer's son. She was a town girl. She had turned without effort from How- ard to Leslie, Strangely, as if the earth were burning the sun for him. All this odd summer he and she had had strange wounding Sunday afternoons and evenings together, "like leaves of broken agates clinging. . "I am comfortable with you, like the earth when I plough it-- he flushed. "I mean" -- he broke off stammering as she laughed a little. "The sod is green, and the brown beneath turns up smoothly and fertile. The air is warm and summer. Shimmer-air. You are auick, like those wild canaries in the mock orange bush there. And steady and reliable -- honest and real -- like that honey bee going about his business." He bent his head; there is no grace, he thought, in the grasshopper's vault through wheat: I am the grass- Tr. arguerite's head was bent also. She looked ashamed. But why should she look ashamed? Sha didn't. His thoughts pursued their images. There is no grace in a grasshoppers rough bound through wheat. The swaying of the green and ripening wheat tip in wind-- that is the grace unending of one you love. Leslie looked at her un- certainly; = something was wrong with her expression. "What is the matter Marguerite?" he asked gently. Her blue gaze shifted from his. "Perhaps 1 am- not honest after all--" she warned. Leslie laughed tenderly; and his long fthgers pressed tightly around the ankles beside him. "You are!" he contradicted solidly. Marguerite lifted the braided clean - sweet clover. Quickly she ordered, "Bend your head, O Knight of the Plough!" Meekly Leslie bowed his head. She placed the green and flower studded chain around his bared neck. "Leslie La Fayne," she said carefully, "I hereby anoint you to the order of Great Honesty -- and let no woman henceforth deceive ou; women in love are a race of jars and cheats." Leslie frowned into her grave face. "You mean that?" "Oh, forget it, dear!" briskly she rose to her feet. "Help me get some of those mock orange flowers to take home, I like that clump across the ravine there -- do you think we can reach them? Dare you!" and she was gone, around the brush and down through the rocks. In the heavy perfume weighting the mock orange, Leslie tucked a ray of the waxy white blossoms sy arguerite's black hair. He gazed at her in awe. 'Orange lossoms--" Leslie said, unsteadily, looking at her. Marguerite turned her face away.

"Mock Orange Blossom!" she aia lightly. old as the boy and girl reached he top of the trail again. From the thicket in the canyon rose a chorus of bull-frogs. Leslie did not touch her, but that strong throbbing of his heart circled out, reaching, drawing. Still she would not look at him, He drew aside the armload of orange blossoms in which she had hidden her face. He circled her with his arm, gently, and he trembled. Orange blossoms fell from her hands as he drew her against him. Orange blossoms scattered at their feet. He had kissed her, he had told her he loved her, many days before -- oly gently -- reverently, carefully, ow he asked her lainly to marry him. "Orange lossoms," he said carefully-- "Orange blossoms in my bride's hair..." Her gaze turned to him, a black- ened gaze. He looked with love at that strange face. A wind cannot wait, he thought, nor water of the tumultuous river pause, He thought her eyes shone with all the wild secrets of earth, "No, Leslie dear--" she said un- steadily. He listened as to no sound known. He put up his hand awk- wardly to caress her face. She drew back. "No," she said clearly. "We shall simply have to stop see- ing each other.' 'But--Marguerite!" He fell to his knees. n terror, his arms around her knees, he pressed against her. "But Marguerite-- I'm not just talking! I haven't much money now, but if you'll wait just a little while, I'll do big things for you!--Marguerite! Mar- guerite!--I ove you--!" She touched his hair with a small finger, then drew back as he would have caught her hand. "No--" she said almost in a whis- er, "I love Howard -- I always ave--I want to marry him. He doesn't want to marry me.. I thought maybe if I made him Jealous enough he might change is mind, and ask me--" The boy did not answer. His arms fell to his sides. Why--it was impossible -- all this strange summer he had thought -- all this wounding summer-- bi § just can't seem to forget him--" shame and honesty rubbed together in her voice, like conten- tious pebbles in fast shallow water. The rolling of the earth vibrated through the boy's kneeling flesh, his body, his bent calves and thick thighs, trembling in this primitive rhythm, quvered with cold earth loss-- So flowing, he thought, the wild wears upon the heart sculp- tured in bedrock, O incongruous mourning earth-- break through the drifts, until after several hours, a plow came to their assistance, Wild rabbits are run- ning through our gardens, even in daytime.

The choir prepared and rendered special music for the occasion. After the regular service reports were received from the Sessions Committees of Stewards, and Trus- tee Boards of the entire circuit. the outstanding features were the decoration of the church at the En- field appointment and the decora- tion of Burketon church. In the report of the Sunday Schools it was shown that in the near future the church at Enniskillen will be newly decorated. Increase Minister's Salary A mark of progress was quite evi- dent in the report of the Committee of Stewards of Enniskillen in which the motion passed at the Quarterly Official meeting held in January was read. This motion was to the effect that Enniskillen Circuit would pay its minister the sum of $1,700.00 i Bonily instalments for the year 1947, At all three appointments the congregations have increased both in attendance and finance and the circuit as a whole appeared to be in a very thriving condition. A letter was read from Rev. Geo. Telford of Oshawa, congratulating the minister and congregations for their splendid success. This was followed by some very appreciative remarks from Rev. Griffith, the Presbytery's representative, in which he too agquiesced with Mr. Telford in his efipreciation of the fine ef- making our church here a splendid influence and power in this part of the Kingdom.
