CHURCH PARADE
A fine number of delegates assembled at the appointed place on Convention Sunday and walked down Lower Sy. inonds Street to the historic Presbyterian C hurch, St. Andrews, led by our Domin ; on Officers, our President, Miss Kirk, bearing our Banner. The minister of the Church, the Rev. David Pryor received the banner at her hands before commencing the service. There was something of a thrill in hearing that the seats in which we >at the Bible in use in the pulpit, and the pulpit itself were the first used in the Church a hundred years ago. The Centenary services were announced, and are to be held in May. The sense of a “Cloud of Witness” made itself felt, and we were proud to be the guests of this Church which has made its impress on the life of the a century And what a fine Temperance sermon we heard. No timid, half ai>ologetic utterance damped our enthusiasm. Rather we were spurred on to more sacrificial effort than ever before, and made to feel a fuller burden of responsibility in regard to our great objectives. Mrs. May McPherson <ang two solos very beautifully.
