 Invitations by Mrs. de Jordan Sto- Jowska and Sigismond Stojowski to meet MT. and Mrs. l. J.

It must have been a gratifica- ton to MT. Stojowslki to note the splen- did impression created upon the many connoisseurs present by the remarka- ble proficiency of his students all of whom played with impressive authori- ty, and several of them have reached a high level of vfrtuosity. It is sel- dom that any piano teacher can pre- sent such g. fine array of disciples
 'It fus have been no easy task for the students when they found them selves playing the Paderewsh compost tions in the presence of the distinguish ed guest. However, instead of being overawed, they seemed encouraged. and in consequence a very delightful afternoon resulted"
 Among the pupils who took part in the recital was Miss Margaret Jamie son, a niece of Archibald Mitchell of this city. Miss Jamieson played two pieces 'Intermezzo Pollaco," anr Ca prfce-Va1se." MT. Mitchell attended the recital and was much pleased with the programme and the way in which it was rendered At the close of the recital MT. Paderewski complimented both MT. StojowsEd and his pupils on their work and stated that Mrs. Con- rad, one of the pupils. gave the finest performance of his Theme Varia" that he had ever heard.

ONE WAY TO LIVE ABOVE LIFE's DISAPPOINTMENT. Y. M. C. A. Secretary Points Out the
 Way in Shop Meeting Talk.

Secretary Edwin Hill of the T. M

 at the Crescent Fire Arms company
 on Friday noon. His topic was Dissa-
 a large attentive audience. Secretary
 Hill said in part:
 Life is made up of many disap- continents and as a result there are
 many heart aches and many heart
 breaks.
 long. dark day and we might we'll ask
 Is life worth living? We are giving
 so much time and thought to earthly
 things that we lose the real joys of life.
 The man who spends his efforts en-
 tirely in building up his earthly for
 tunes will eventually miss his man
 sion in the slSys. The old suggestion
 as to where we shold lay up our
 treasure is still applicable and the
 wise man will place his treasure out
 of the reach of moth and rust and
 thieves, so that one day he will find
 1t intact in heaven.
 The man whose one aim Is to make money is doomed in the end to dis
 appointment. Then, we are oftimes
 disappointed in our friends and doubt
 less they are likewise disappointed in
 us; we trust them and they fail us at times in the stress and storms of such times we can find one friend who
 never fails us, Jesus Christ, the Lord.
 One Way to Live. There is just one way and only one in which we can live far above the ddsappotntments of this life and that one way Is to keep in touch with him who never disappoints and whose promise never fail you may ask how can I keep in touch with him. I an- swer, first, you must surrender your will to hi mand then you must read ofter his grtat love letter to us, the Bible, and you must talk with him often his great love letter to us, the tempts to go through life independent Of these great essentials will find him. selr at last in a condition of awful disappointment. Tt is not the Fathers will that any should perish" but if we ignore him and continue to dis appoint him We will simply rear &C., cording as as we SOW and the reasonsi- bility is with us entirely
 God is a God of love but He is also God of justice and I believe in the emphasis of love, but to read justice out of the character of the Creator is to tell only half of the story. The thing we should do is to make the great decision today and to live up with the will of God for us and thus
 we will count all disappointments His appointments and our lives will be one sweet song of harmony and we will have the satisfaction of pleasing God instead of disappointing him Several selections were rendered on the Victor machine.
