ROOM INVITES PEOPLE
 ID LUNCHEON

'I bid you fair! I give you wei room opened for the season at the D. M. Reads store last week. The same attractive chairs, tables and wall decorations, wtich makes the place so homelike, are used. The only change this year is the addition al fifteen tables which take in half of the reading room. The palms and greeneries arranged around the fire place, the dim lights, immaculate linen and dainty white and blue china, make the dining room a place to meet the satisfaction of everyone.
 Special lunches are prepared every day by expert cooks. The old fla vorite dishes, "Chickabiddies, liar lequin," chicken croquettes, tempting dainties, desserts, sandwiches, salads and cakes make up a delightful menu. The regular menu card varies every day with specially pre- pared dishes to order.
 The afternoon tea is perhaps the most interesting feature every day. Together with the tea there is cof- fee, chocolate, a wholesome Windsor sandwich and ice cream. Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, at o'clock, the Goulding Harp orchestra occupies one corner of the spacious room, playing classic seIec- tions. The orchestra is one of the interesting features on those days and it has become very popular with the many patrons who gather there to enjoy the special tea.
 The tea card is very interesting. Ii has the drawing of a. tea table with | the china at which is seated a i young woman in colonial costume. The dining room is very cheery refreshing, amt homeIike. It is on | the second floor of the building.

"GREATER LOVE"
 SERMON SUBJECT

Greater Love- was the subject ot the morning discourse of Rev. Will liam Horace Day at the morning ser vice of the United Church yesterday He depicted the love of Christ as be- ing different from and greater than any other love mentioned in his story.
 DT. Day said in part:
 ''The love of which Jesus was con- stantly speaking was something greater than a beautiful emotional sentiment, the love of friends, which was the most ideal thing the Greeks knew. It is based upon an intelli- gent estimate of the worth of the one loved. It has a basis in our reason though it binds up with our reason the deepest emotions and sentiments of which we are capable.
 Tt must be the act of choice. We can choose whether we shall think of, remember and live by the bitternesses of life or choose and remember and live by the sweetnesses of Lfe.''
