Woodstock Valley

At the service at the chapel last Sunday afternoon Miss Evangeline Lawson. who was at home on a short vacation, gave very interesting ad- dress on her work in Americanization in New York City where she is en- gagged in teaching English to foreign women, mostly Jewish. She spoke of their pathetic desire to learn to read and write English after their hus- bands had become prosperous and their children often well educated in this country. She also spoke of the desirability of getting a Christian international spirit instead of a nar- row nationalism. Sidney Butler who was present spoke briefly on the themes raised by Miss Lawson and referred to the work he had been do- ing in eastern Canada in raising money for philanthropy. The ser vices will be held at half past two, standard time, Sunday afternoons.
