PHALANX CLUB MEETING - The regular supper meeting of the Phalanx Fraternity was held a: the Queen ‘Hotel on Friday eve- ning. The meeting was opened with Charles Downe presiding. A delicious supper was enjoyed by nil, followed by a lively sing-song. The minutes of thr- last meeting were read and approved. Two guests. Jack Guy and Earl Birt. were introduced to the Club by were then brought before Lb.- from the Children's Aid Society to send two members lo their an- nual meeting, Messrs. Hollis Thompson and Ralph Can- were selected. Mr. Randolf Manning. the Club Men-tor, conducted a pro- llram in which each member drew for a topic and gave a two min- ute speech on it for which he got points. Fred Norton with his topic “What I Like About Girls" won the prize.

CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The Sunday services in Central Christian Church were under the direction of the pastor, M. D. Dun- bar. B. TH. The music was under the ablc direction of the_Organiss and Che} Director, Mrs. M. C. Stewart. *

Addressing the congregation at the morning worship service, . Dunbar directed his message more specifically to the newly elected of- flcers of the congregation, appoint- ed at the Annual Genera} Business meeting earlier in the week. Tak- ing for his text Ephesians 4:11 the minister presented a challenge ta each who held any official cairacity in the Cliurvh, under the topic, “You Have to Learn to See."

.'I‘he theme of the message was derived from the conversation of an illiterate lighthouse keeper on one of the great lakes. His duty it W115 to guard jealously the light high on a rocky promontory over- looking the hidden reefs at its base. He said, “Queer now folks eygs get upset when they look at things near at hand all the time. Folks ought to practice looking inlo the distance. Its the long look what gives strength-n man's got lerii to sec."

Yesl words of an illiterate bu. also words of a sage, for true. it is the long look that gives strength --thnt encompassing, far reaching vision which ma)‘ 11¢ 01115 11 "l"- really learn to sec. Jesus himself was much concerned with the lack of spiritual sight on the part of his followers. He warned that to sce his true beauty one had to de- velop a spiritunlsight thus mak- ing away with the inward black- ness. “The blind cannot lead the blind." Jesus said, “for they shall both fall into the pit."

The development of "the Lona‘ Look" will naturally develop a de- sire in your heart to serve those about you. Life was never meant to be lived alone; nor was the 10y of each day in be overshadowed with multltudinous details. Lon-k of vision lmprisons the soul ‘and it is held caplivc, even as a wildbird in a cage. Where there is no VlSIOIi me people perish, ‘Twas Christa‘ vision that lead Him to the cross and caused a H8111- 118111- 1D 5111"‘: upon those who had sat in dark- ness. "Twas the "long look’ acquir- ed by the Apostle Paul thpt opened up the for reaching frontiers of ihu heathen Gentile world m Christian influence and life in Christ.

In closing his address Mr. Dun- bar used the words of a PHJKHSOI in science as he stood beforo B group of students among whom W118 the young energetic lady 011d 0°‘ finder of radium, Madame Curie, “Some cf you may have the stars at your finger-tips.“ Years 111191‘ before the Imam! o!

1L.P.l|. Hold Annual Meeting

l | The annual rnectin oi the Lab-

iorcrs Protective Union was held yesterday with Prcsnieni Daniel Chlpman in the choir. The fol-

llowiiig officers were appointed for

l ma;

President. J.A. Gormley; vice- pi-esidcni. J.W. Gormley; treasurer,

,W. Gallant; financial secreiary, P. Dean s; recording secretary, H. McQuarrie; guide, Al Ryan; guar- dian, J.P. Cullen; trustees. Joe Mc- Donald, M. Egan and Ed Stanley.

The auditor's report showed that the Union had a very successful year financially. The treasurer, re- porting for the Burial Fund Com- iniiiec, stated that the fund had

‘been increased considerably dur- iiig the year. He said "We had lost two of our members by death during the past year". The record- ‘lug secretary said: "We have a fair membership at present of

,D8id-i1p mciribers. However. we would have lo increase our mem- bership roll ihis spring as the de- iiiund by increased waterfront ac- tiv.l_y has been getting larger, and to give ships a. quick dispatch."

‘ President Cliipniaii gave a report of Union activities during the year. He told the members to tke an act ve part in Union offal s and they should attend all meetings.

i Bro. J. McDonald, reporting for the annual Bali Comnlttee said

" lhr- hall was held in the Sporting

Club lust January. It had been

‘largely attended and very success-

ful llnanclally. It was decided lo hold the next annual ball 0n Jan.

Bro. Dee Gillis, repflrtiiig for the Bngo Convnlitee. said a weekly bingo had been held during the your and they were wcll patron- ized and that a considerable am- nuni of moneyfliarl been paid over in the troasili-ei" in lie placed i0 l-rr-riii. of ihr Burial Fund. | General comments were heard nll the improvements lo the Rail- way Wjiarf. On one occasion. there were two inrgc steamers at the west side. one loading; potatoes for n Southern port and one 11's- c-hzirg rig bulk lc-riilizer. There was mipie rooiii for traffic mov vnenls of big auto trucks 9llBb1lI1g'l.l1E

,incn lo give speedy handling o_l lcargos. It was considered Chur-

lotietciivn has one of the best piers —

iii iiie Zvlariiimes herc, capable of handling ships of ieii thousand tons or more. And with the co- i operation of all parties interested in water shipping, it should be uill- ized more. It was suggested that some kind of Iaooih surface should be laid lo make it convenient for ,_liiii-id trucking, also for uuto truck: carrying potatoes to the ships a-s this would give the men ‘a better chance for handling car- goes. Sline complaints were voiced concerning the lighting from the _wcst side of the whar; along the roadway. There are poles placed 1but no lamps. It was urged that the Railway management should ‘see that these lights are placed as the men are very often required lo work at night. Off cials of the Departments of Public Works and Transport were commended for having given great assistance and co-operation to the various shippers and steamship agents in order that cargoes may be assembled and shipped quickly. I It was suggested that a rest roan ' be provided for the men as a great number carry the’r lunoh and it would be convenient during breaks in the weather.

, Remarks regarding the New- foundland trade were mlde by members about the increase of

traffic and quantity of farm prod- ucts handled during the year. The efforts of the capable trade com- missioner, Mr. Agnew were com- mended. also Mr. Wellington Mc- Nelll and other shippers. to in- crease sales of farm products in ihis trade.

A number of new working relu- latlons are to be made this year concerning the members as a group with the aim of giving good

rvice.
