A very able and interesting address on
the subject of THE Open Shop" was de-
livered to the members of the Mems For
um last Sunday morning by Mr.. Arthur
Richie. 1t was greatly appreciated by
the men present, and although some dis
sented from the views expressed by the
speaker. yet in the clash of opinion, the
profit of the discussion which followed,
came. We do not expect all are going to
think alike on these matters. In fact we
rejoice in diversity of viewpoint, and
welcome the free exchange of conflicting
opinions. 1t would be great pleasure to
us to see many of our industrial workers
present and hear their views on these
economic, social and indus rial questions.
A very cordial invitation is extended to
them to attend next Sunday, when Mr..
Harold S. Webb will speak on "Taxes,
an Who Shall Pay Them,"

ca" series will be given in the church
next Sunday evening at 7.30. The large
audience which was present and heard
the lecture last Sunday, was profoundly
impressed with the information impaired
and the pictures shown. 1t is expected
larger number will attend on Sunday
evening to hear the talk on, SIS Social
ism the Perpetual Motion Machine De-
fusion Converted Into Economics7' This
is an important subject and a very inter-
