Picture screen of the Prince kiward ‘maestro starting yesterday. “ - In a picture that proves a worthy successor to "Little Women," RKO- Radio presents the orphan heroine whom librk Twain once described as the "deareet and meet moving and delightful child d fiction since the immortal Alice." As a novel, L. M. Montgomery's "Anne oi Greenflables" has won worldwide recognition as a classic of chllcliood and early youth. Portrayed by an ideal cast includ- ing Anne Shirley, Tom Brown, O. P. Heggle, Helen Westley, Sara Haden and others, the picture is one of great charm and strong heart- appeal. Powerful in its very sim- plicity and so human that it strikes a ve chord in every breast, it will find univeeeal favor. Annie Hurley, the mxteen-ycar- old player who adopted the name of the character she portrays in the- fiha, gives a superb perform- enoe as the orphan heroine. She has made good in a most impreeeive manner. m ‘rein Blown proves that was the parleotchoice in play Gilbert Blythe, Anne's schoolboy beau. 0. P.

About a doren members took part in dealing with the subject from its different angles and s spiritually profitable time was spent. Two members of the Society rendered special solos, whilst the various hymns. which were also in harmony with the subject, were ehthusiaetically joined in by the large number of people present. Mrs. Mabel MacEechem was or- ganist for the evening.

C. W. L. MEETING-At the January meeting of the C. W. L. which was held in the H. of C. Hall, reports from the different committees were very satisfactory. A letter from the Superior of the City Hospital expressing gratitude and appreciation for cheque sent to aid their work of charity, was read by the Secretary. Owing in the regrettable indisposltion of the convenor of Social Service s. full report of that committee will not be submitted until the next regu- lar,meetlng. The oonunittee on aged and infirm reported a large hamper containing Christmas deli- cacies having been sent to the In- firmary. and a box of fruit to the City Hospital for distribution in social service work, Plans were completed for the work in oonfiec- tlon with the annual turkey din- ner which will be held during the month in the Holy Name Hall with the ever popular bingo as an add- ed attraction. As in former years the proceeds of this endeavor will be donated to charity. CATHOLIC POETY UNIT-The local branch of the Catholic Poetry Society of America, renewing its activities after the Christmas sea- son, held a well-attended meeting on the night of Tuesday, January eighth. After the reading and adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting, which, incident- ally, showed the Island unit to be vigorous and flourishing, and other business on hand being disposed of, an election of officers was held for the appointment of a president, vice-president and secretary-treas- urer. The results of the voting in- voked many good-natured com- ments and "kindly chaff." A very pleasant feature of all the meet- ings has been the spirit of fellow- ship prevailing; criticism. so ne- cessary to assist the members in their endeavours, has ever been offered graciously and received with equal cheerfidness and good sense. The next and most absorb- ing feature of the evening was a delightfully "informal". lecture on the poet Francis Thompson by Rev. Father MacKenzie of St. Duns ‘s University. The speaker not "y gave his hearers, by in- tereating references, a fuller knowledge of the poet's tragic life and illustrated, by . " from his works, ‘Thompson's genius, but portrlyod. in a particularly vivid manner, the beautifiii character of the man.

IN ZIITN Twenty years from now some folks looking back over files of “The Guardian" will see where large numbers of people braved snow and rein to attend the week of prayer in 1935. Let us hope that it wlll be the history of the begin- ning of a new fellowship within and among our churches that the next generatoin will be tracing- In spite of the downpour of rein and the counter attraction of “Anne of Green Cables" at the theatre. e goodly number» were in attend- ance at Zion Church for the fourth meeting of the Week of Prayer. The Minister, Rev. G. C. Webster, bad prepared a splendid service and by his kindly welcome and genial goodwill made all feel at home. The service began with the dox- ology followed by a call tovwor- ship and a prayer of invocation by the pastor. The congregation joined in sing- ing the peelm, “Give to Our God Inunortel Praise." Rev. H, D, Raymond read from the Old ‘Testament the fifty-fifth chapter of Isaiah. Rev. Hugh Mill- er led in prayer. The hymn “Gracious Spirit Love Divine," was sung. Rev. R. M, Icgate, D.D., read the twenty-eighth chapter of Matthew. Rev. W. L. Outhouse read the ments. The service to- night is in Trinity and young people are especially invited. Mr. Outhouse is to be the speaker. A service is being arranged by Adj. Stevens for Saturday night in the Salvation Army Barracks. After the offering a. very pleas- ing quartette was sung. "Where He W111 Iiead Me I Will Go," by Mrs. (Rev) G. C. Webster, soprano; Mrs. F. A. A. Mutch, alto; Mr. Peter Creighton, base, and Mr. Harry Craswell, tenor. Ilbllowlng was a season of prayer in which at the call of the minis- ter three members of the Congre- gation offered prayers. Ail joined in singing the hymn “Thou Whose Almighty Word." Rev. A. C. Vincent was the speaker of the evening. His subject was "World Evangelism, Obedience and Service," and he dealt with it in a very Impressive way. He took as his text the great commission, "Go ye into all the world." In the first place he spoke of the mendous challenge it was to the disciples who were listening to Jesus. There were plenty of people in Jerusalem who needed to be evangelized. He pictured one oi the disciples asking why it was neces- sary to go mm all the world and then gave us three reasons, tre- The first reason was that Jesus was intimate with the eternal pur- poses of God. It was the purpose of God i0 make his people a bless- ing to the rest. "In thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed." The second reason was that Jesus saw the need of the world. Aliens came to Him and He re- celved them. He knew the eternal longings of the human heart com- mon io all people. Finally Jesus recognized that the disciples could only be the kind of people he wanted them to be if they had the world in their hearts. They needed the wider vision and the broader sympathies that would errase their prejudices and provin- clalism. their bigotry and their narrowness and so He sent them out into all the world. So the chal- lenge comes to us to put ourselves in harmony with the eternal pur- poses of God to go out to those who need us and need Christ not only for their sakes but that we may be (he Children of God who loves all.

Following is the text of the in- spiring address delivered Wednes- day night at the Week of Prayer meeting in the Baptist Church by Rev, Hugh Miller of Trinity Unit- ed Church, who took for his theme, "The Society and_..The Book”: We are assembled tonight in the interests of the British and Ibr- elgnBible Society. On many for- mer occasions, we and others, have dime likewise. The Society is one of the great societies of the world, recognized both for the magnitude of its work and the nature of the work and also the spirit in which the work ls done. It was organized to meet the need first made evi- dent ln the endeavour of a young lass to procure s. copy of the Bible, and since its inception it has en- deavored to the best of its ability to meet the need of the world for the Scripture in the native tongue. We are met tonight to pay tribute to the services of the pest, evaluate ur- service for the past year and prepare for the future. a Living Book It is a. Society of a Book, or rather a volume composed of many books written by different authors, at different periods and under various circumstances. It was writ- ten in languages foreign to most that are spoken at the present time and, at a time separated by centuries from our day. Yet it is the most popular book today. It is purchased and reed by more than any other volume. We can accouni; for this because it is a living Book. Books do not differ so radically from people in the matter of vitality; “Thousands now living shall never die" is the belief and slogan of a. certain body. A recent lecturer somewhat csus tically remarked that “Thousands now living are half dead." People differ vastly in the matter of vitality. Some are very much alive; contagiously alive: some have varying degrees of vitality and other seem to be strangely life- less- Books do not differ radically from people in this respect of vi-l tallty. Some live for a day and are forgotten. Some for a longer per- iod and they too pass away. To the making of books there is no end. but there is an end to many of the books made. A recent writer has stated that some books are “like stately cemeteries, dignified cities of the dead." The Bible is a living book. It throbs with life and the years leave no marks of senllity. It is as eternal as the life it proclaims. It lives because it is the child of life. Open it and you hear voices and each has a message for you. It may be the voice of earnest pleading or equally earnest warning. It may be the voice of prayer, or singing, or weeping. But we always hear them. Where there is life, there is action. There are pilgrims marching and armies in action. Workman are laboring. judges are applying jus- tice. Prophets are teaching, Merch- ants are plying their trade. The ‘ousekee c. is at the village well drawing water and the shepherd is on the hill and the owner in his vineyard, Everywhere there is stir and movement. Above all is the voice of God. So in the Bible hu- man life becomes articulate, so, al- so, in the Bible God becomes ar- ticulate. speaking in our own language Speaks Universally The Bible lives because it speaks s. universal language and treats of universal things. The language is the language oi’ the soul of man and its message is a message nf life, It is the record of man's search for God and the search leads through every mood of the soul and expresses itself in every form of expression. ‘Iberr is his- tory of races and Individuals; of dynasties and clans: of decades and centuries. There is poetry singing its way into the soul. There l8 mliltdy. stark and arresting. There is comedy with its rippling laughter and song that thrills as no other songs. All this because it is a living Book pulsing with life- llfe moving towards the goal and Ideal of life, life hid with Christ in God. It is a Book of a common stand- ard. It is no respector of persons. There is no privilege of class, cu]- ture or wealth. There is no high or low. exclusive or inclusive. It spurns the recognition of artificial society, It proclaims a common standard and itiiudges all bv this I st v u, irrespective of belief. race o!‘ . distinctions.

The Queen released. the Bible for the people in» their’ ‘ own tongue and England became a. . people of e book and thatbool: the Bible.
