was held last night in the assembly hall of the High1 School to discuss the best means of.securing the interest and co-operation1 of the non-church-going population: in the city.The origin of the meeting was a circular sent out to members of the churches in the city by a group of laymen who feel that all is not right! with the church, or with those who ! are outside of it.There was a fresh1 discussion of the situation at a meeting held last week, with the result1 that an adjournment was called until last night, when it was hoped some: definite plan of action might be decided upon.A feature of last night\u2019s meeting! was an account given by the Rev.F.j A.Poole, minister of the South Congregational Church.St.Johnsbury, of the theatre meetings that have been held in that town for the last six years.Mr, Poole said that these meetings had been very encouraging so far as they reached an unchurched section of the population, although they had failed to attract these to any: definite association with the church.But the aim of the meetings was toj benefit the community rather than1 build up the church, and he was very sure a great deal of good had been accomplished.He could not do more than give the results of the experience derived from local conditions, and it would be difficult to draw conclusions as to the desirability of conducting! services of this kind in Sherbrooke.Speaking of the character of the services, he said that they were of a much freer kind than the usual church services, but the addresses given aimed at a direct application of the gospel to everybody living.Following the address, Mr.Poole was questioned by several present on points he had touched upon, and also on those he had not.The conference was very interesting and the speaker, by his readiness and interest in the problem as it faces the Sherbrooke churches, made a distinct contribution to the value of the meeting.As Mr.Poole had to catch the train going south, is was impossible for him to remain until the end of the meeting.After he had left there was a frank expression of opinion on the part of laymen and ministers as to the reason of the lack of interest in the church, and the best means of overcoming this.It was pointed out that sometimes the preaching was not direct enough ; that the churches were not warmly hospitable ; that the services were too stereotyped ; that the churches lacked adaptability to changing conditions ; that they were too much infected with social and class distinctions.On the other hand, the fault lay in some measure with the people, who were indiffenent to the things for which the church stood, aind had lapsed into a fixed indisposition to go to the services, where they would be welcome.The discussion continued for more than an hour, when the chairman, Mr.T.J.Parkes, sought to get the opinion of the meeting expressed in a definite resolution.He pointed out that they had been concerned with two possible methods or means of action.One fas a Sunday night theatre meeting and the other a co-operative visitation to invite people to attend church and identify themselves with the interests for which it stood.It I was moved by Mr.A.G.Campbell that plans for a co-operative visitation be arranged, in which all the Protestant churches should unite, and that a committee to be named by the pastors of the churches should prepare these plans.This was seconded by Mr.H.V.Haight, and carried unanimously.The meeting then adjourned.-»-\u2014 SOME FOLKS ARE DISAPPOINTED They read or they hear about Jiffy-Jell

ATRICHMONDFOR A ŒLEBRATION St.Andrew\u2019s Day Celebration Proved a Huge Success\u2014Messages Sent to Sister Societies.RICHMOND, Dec.3\u2014St.Andrew\u2019s Day was celebrated in Richmond on Monday with all of the old time vigor and enthusiasm.The ! fact that at first it seemed to be no such a thing this year as a St.An-drew\u2019s Day acted like a tonic and in- ! stilled enthusiasm in the clansmen.; The day broke clear and cold, just | the kind of a day for the Scot.On the early morning trains from Windsor and Danville came the first ar- : rivals.At eleven o\u2019clock at Mc-1 Morine\u2019s Comer the members of the I society gathered and, following the j Union Jack, the cross of St.Andrew and the Royal Standard of Scotland, headed for the Grand Trunk station, where they were joined by the pipe band of the Royal Scots, Montreal, and with the music that has ever sent a thrill through the blood of the Scot, marched in procession to Chal-mer\u2019s Presbyterian Church, where divine service was conducted by the Rev.Alexander D.Martin, of St.Pierre, assisted by Revs.G.H.Craik, E.C.Woodley and Wm.MacMillan.The church was well filled | and the sendee was simple and impressive.The preacher, who is a native of Scotland, and has only been in this country nine years, spoke of i the Scotch people as having inherited a country so great and a church so free.Enlarging on these headings, he reviewed the part that Scotland has played in the moulding and fashioning of the British Empire.Whenever they pushed out into the world they always carried the traditions of their home land with them.Wherever they went they have done honor to the land that gave them birth.The love of the home land is ever in the breast of the son of Scotland.His history is full of fights for his faith.He valued the church of his fathers and considered religious freedom on a par with political freedom.At the conclusion of the service the ladies of St.Andrew\u2019s Society served lunch in the basement of the church to all who were present.The tables were loaded with a bountiful supply of oat calces and the more aristocratic Scotch bread.Everybody was happy and all did justice to the feast.The annual meeting was then convened in the Town Hall, with Mr.Campbell, of Windsor, the past presi-dentj in the chair.The usual call of roll was made with the usual touches of the sad news as now and again a name was mentioned of one who had been called away by death.To offset this, there was an unusually large number of new members proposed for membership, and among them a large part were young men and boys.Little ; Donald Kerr, scarcely nine years of age, was applauded as he went up for his first card of membership.The treasurer\u2019s report showed a [balance on hand of $123.61.Messrs.Frank Smith, Thomas Torrance, Angus MacLean, Alex.W.: Sinclair, Revs.J.D.Ferguson, A.D.[Martin, of Montreal, and E.C.Woodley were made honorary members in appréciation of long services rendered to the society.The report iof the committee of condolence re-: ported the following deaths in the society during the year: Alexander McLeay and John A.MacDonald, [Danville; William Ross, Richmond; Hugh Munro, Gilbert Stalker, of Melbourne Village; Andrew Mac-j Kenzie and Finlay Ross, of Mel-| bourn, and Brompton Gore.A mes-isage of sympathy was also sent to Mr.Alex.Watters, Kingsbury, on the \u2022 loss of his -wife.Telegrams and greetings were received from sister societies and the following greeting was later sent to (The North British Society, Halifax; St.Andrew\u2019s Society

and choir of Chalmers Church, and to the ladies for the sumptuous luncheon provided.The out-of-town members expressed their hearty appreciation of the way in which the Richmond members on short notice decided to hold the celebration this year.At eight o\u2019clock the town hall was filled to the doors with a happy and jubilant audience for the concert that was to end the day.The programme was excellent and piece after piece was heartily encored.The pipers opened with a selection, and Scotsmen never get enough of their national music.The singers were Mr.Bissett and Miss Cousins, of Montreal.Mr.Bissett is no stranger to AMHERST WINTER FAIR ATIRACIS MUCH ATTENTION Efforts Being Made to Have This Year\u2019s Fair the Most Successful in History of Assodation.(Associated Press
