29 JANUARY 1915

Jan. 25th

Mr. John Bishop’s condition is less favorable than last week.

Miss Alice Robblee, of Granville and Miss Ruth Ward of Clarence, are guests of Mrs. Mellick.

The ladies of the South side of the river met with Mrs. W.C. MacPherson on Thursday evening to work on clothing for the Belgians. They will continue to meet there during the Winter. The other society met at Mrs. I. Newcome’s this week.

P.F. Lawson, of Berwick, has kindly consented to come to Lawrencetown. He will relate some of his experiences while on the “Tremorvah,” and the stay in Europe. The Belgian question is uppermost in our minds, and we have the opportunity, on Monday next, Feb. 1, in the evening at 7.30, of hearing of things as they really are, in that stricken land.

A very interesting debate took place in the Epworth League last Friday evening on “Resolved that country life is more to be desired than city life.” The affirmative was taken by Helene Durling, Elizabeth Harvey and Gladys Mailman. The negative by Louis Stoddart, John Hall and Clyde Morse. Those present considered the arguments creditable and well thought out.

An agricultural meeting was held here on Friday evening, Mr. McGill of Middleton being the chief speaker, though Mr. Emslie was expected. R.J. Messenger was chairman, and at the close of Mr. McGill’s address on “Raise larger crops,” the meeting took on the form of a debating club, participated in by the chairman, H. Longley, Mr. Winniard, E.C. Schaffner and others. Co-operation to secure better treatment all around, was the objective of all remarks.
