Fitzpatrick ~ DUKE 0 WINDS Nasty Mess Arises in Patis on Armistice Day—Re- porters Are Blamed PARIS, Nov. 11.—The Angligan Pastor, the Rev. J. L. C. Dart, pub- licly apologized to the Duke of Windsor, saying he “could not insult a man who could not defend him- self,” but the Duke, shunned the Armistice Day service at St. Georges Church here be- cause his presence was previously declared unwelcome. The Rev. Dart told the British Legion that the “very last thing he wished to do was to publiely insult a man who could not defend himself. Reporters made me o that. There was nothing further from my intentions. I swear that is the truth and I wish to take this opportunity to apologize.” [t is revealed that the Vicar tele- phened to the Duke’s equerry, Dud- ley Forwood, an hour before the rvice, and said he wanted to apol- ogize to the Duke. The Victar de- clared he did not say the Duke was not welcome, but the reporters made it appear so. “I did say that I would rather the Duke did not at- ltend the service, that was all,” said the Vicar, e MacSPADDENS TO SAIL M.

Mrs. J. C. Click, ‘president, presented Mrs, O. L. Kendall as Devotional leader, who' read from Moffatt’s translation of James the third chapter, for her message. “We forget at times that we are repre- sentatives of Christ, and hence there are many unguarded mo- ments in which the tongue can do so much to cause unhappiness to others. As Christians we should walk so there are no unguarded| moment: said Mrs. Kendall. “There shoula not be just certain times to serve Christ, like the little boy in Sunday School who thought Sunday was the day to do nice things, and it didn’t matter so much for other days. We all need to check our tongues and learn to hold them in control, and so leave unsaid the things that might be unkind d at any rate unnecessary. Psalms 34:13 says, ‘Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile,'” Stewardship of Time was a very interesting and helpful talk given by Mrs. O. Carmichael. ‘“‘Steward- ship in the Christian life is a very important matter, out of thirty-six parables given by Jesus sixteen are cn stewardship,” said the speaker. “The first step is to acknowledge God as owner of all that we have,| then comes partnership with Him; a partnership that never fails. Thi: subject reminds us of the com- mandment, Remember the Sabbath| day, that is God's day and should be used for His service and worship | of Him. God does not say that we should not have pleasure in this day, but for the Christian who is what he should be, will find his greatest pleasure in the things of Gad. Under this heading comes| the Christian workers’ duties in the Sunday school, missionary society,! aid society and so forth. We read in the seriptures, ‘Can a Man Rob G2d? Yes, one way is of time—! when duties such as mentioned! above and worship services are ne-| glected for other paliry things, and God is not given His share of| not only our time but our posses-| sions. ! Mrs. C. C. Personeus gave a brief ! review of the Missionary Review of | the World, the publication received by the society. “There is a new ate road in Kentucky, called the Murdoch Trail. Thirty-five years| ago a young Presbyterian minister | arrived on the little mountain ham- let of Buckhorn, Kentucky, with $250 cash and unsearchable riches in Christian faith,” said Mrs. Per- soneus. “His name was Harvey Murdoch.
