To the Editor
Building Of the
Huron and Bruce
Brings Memories
240 West Park St.,
Lapeer, Mich.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
An old friend at Kippen writes
to ask me: "Jim, can you tell us
when the London, Huron and Bruce
railroad was built through Huron
County?"
Mercy sakes! Now, isn't that
awful? I know I'm getting old,
but lands' sakes, I wasn't born un-
til late in the day on March 31,
1891 (I came within a hairsbreath
of being one of those first of April
fellows), but to gently hint I might
have been watching them build
the Huron and Bruce — whoops!
Isn't that something?
No, I don't know, but I do re-
call Uncle Jack McQueen telling
me that his mother served meals
for all one summer to a lot of men
working on the scheme, and that
this money aided materially in
Grandpa's efforts to properly stock
the farm, buy needed implements,
and so -forth. I think he told me it
was 1865. Now, I'm not sure of
the year, but it just comes to me
that it was 1865. Uncle would be
nine years old then. It would be
26 years before I came to peek at
Huron County—and the railway.
Anyway, here is a chance for argu-
ment—just ask the elderly about
you; creep up on 'em gently; don't
give 'em the idea you think they
actually saw it built.
In any event, the good.Old Huron
and Bruce served the stretch from
Wingham to London well for years
and years. It was a great blessing
to the sturdy pioneers and to their
offspring as well. My, how we Lov-
ed to ride on those bumpety-bump
coaches, hauled by a sort of make-
believe engine, hopping along at
(on the Bruce) about 30 miles an
hour, Without the Huron and
Bruce, Huron County could never
have become the ideal county it
blossomed forth to be.
Only today a precious volume of
literature came into our possession.
I am referring to my Iate sister-
in-law's Bible, and which was the
Bible of her mother-in-law before
her; in other words, it was pur-
chased originally over 100 years
ago.
I am wondering'tonight if people
nowadays value the Bible as the
cornerstone of the home? Here in
this grand old book are precious
gems, more satisfying. than gold.
The Bible doesn't tell us much
about. Heaven, but it does speak
of that beautiful city with walls
of Jasper, streets 'of gold, and.
where a thousand years are one.
It does say to one and all that
whosoever will, may' come. It
does say that •in our Father's
Home are many mansions. It does
say that if we'll just be patient,
and kindly, and compassionate to
and with mankind here, then
there'll be a place for us over
there. It warns that the way of
the transgressor is hard. It scorns
love of wealth to the miserly de
gree, 'and boldly asserts that the
penniless like Lazurus begging at
the -gate, these too may enter that
realm when there is no more pain
and parting, and where He who
once wore a crown of thorns shall
rule eternally. This Bible tells us
that no sinner is without hope, if
only he will grasp the dangling
rope that will pull him to safety.
It tells us that there is hope for
all, if only, as Jesus told Nicho-
demus, to be born again, or the
Prodigal to go on back to the
Father. It tells us the door is
open, even to the most sunken,
most saddened and discouraged
soul, to the drunkard, and to the
prostitute and the felon, if only
he or she will recognize human
frailty and inability to rise in one's
self, but rather lean on the Lord.
The more one peers into the pages
of this book, the more clearly he
sees the glory of the world to
come. The more one peers into
this book, the more he clearly,
calmly, soberly understands -that
the brevity of life here is but a
step to the land of all eternity.
Yes, it's a wonderful piece of
literature! I'm afraid I'm going
into something here that resem-
bles a sermon, but it isn't intend-
ed that way. It's merely the
thoughts of a layman, now at three
score and ten, and whom God has
afforded an ,opportunity to see
much and enjoy much on this
planet, on the way to the invisible
and unknown, but eternal home of
the soul. And . maybe, too, some -
