Inc morning servi last Sunday was

members when Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph H

The Mems Forum was we'll attended
last Sunday morning wh en- a large num-
Der OF men gathered to hear our esteemed
mayor, Hon. C. w. Wescott, speak on
The Other Fellows Point of View"
Like all the mayor says, it was well
worth listening to. He said some very
pertinent things, many things, in fact,
mat specially need to be said in Belfast.
Inc discussion which followed was very
profitable, but as the time was too brief,
IL was decided to continue the subject
next Sunday. The Forum presents fine
opportunity for men to get together, and
IL is only as we thus meet and exchange
thoughts that we can come to appreciate
the other fellows point of view.

better for people to go away feeling they
have not had enough Of good thing than
for them to feel they have had too much
of poor thing. Such people are sure to
come again. Many have already decided
that they will attend the whole series.

been SO lavish with gifts of fields and ore
laden hills, of lakes and mighty rivers,
majestic forests and wild life and the final
