This question is onethat the ratepayers voted on early last year, but at that time the Oommissibners were named and many say this odused the defeat of the by-law. In nearly every town in Ontario where thel lighting plant is under municipal co trot, it is managed by a commission. f this works well in other towns why should it not work as well in Wingham. The commission - ere would be able to give the business better attention as t ey would in all liklihood become mor permanent than a committee of the ounoil which is liable to change at he end of every year. Good men hay had the manage- ment of these. depart ante and have given the town a gr at deal of their time, but the continua change of com- mittee men is the part±ithat is at fault.

The preacher at t his hearers that o istios of God's peopl ate great crises in Lb examples, the Festi and the erection of Jordan's river bed, en, with the local ung Britons, and adjacent lodges 100, attended St nday evening last, o, the Rev. O. E, a sound, practical n, taking hie text "And the Lord said n thy might; have e outset reminded e of the character - was to oommemor- ir history, citing as al of the Passover cairn of stones in To -day's service is one of these memor':Is, when we oele- brace the deliversnc a of all we hold dear from unjust interl'.rence of a foreign power with the f ith and freedom of England. Contin .ing, the speaker warned all again= • undervaluing the past. We seldom g' ve our heart's rever- ence to thoughts a d lives of the honor - great, We perpet.ate their names and merits in print, et..; do we perpetuate their best results by loyally carrying them on to a still • igher plane? Honor- ing William of a range, we must not stop there. Back ,. f the man stand his principles—princip es of truth and loyal- ty, of a deep and aiding patriotism, of unswerving faith i. the religion of our fathers, of a profo . rid consciousness of God, And the bee way of honoring the memory of Willi III and such like heroes is to build he best structure we are capable of e eating. Emphasizing three points in history, the speaker dwelt upon the a alogies of the time of Gideon, ofWillis., ofOrange,u f W and our own day an generation. Gideon and his band we arrayed against the Midiaiiites; Will' m III fought for his country and reli ion against the arbi- trary interfereno of a corrupt church. To. day there is t e same need of other Gideon&—of me true sad tried—to fight the battle f truth against error, of God against t power of evil. Every Orangeman is bound to recogniza and battle with the evils of our own day. And the great evil of to -day is the spirit of materialism, which, like the Midian- ites in the days o Gideon, bids fair to sweep over our and decline in evil spirit all t nature and histo: and sublimest sots only by illusion, level of a mere ant is turning the Lorl unhallowed please thing we do and I label, which is des dation of our soot nation, bringing ruin is train. Before this at is best in human y disappear. Wisest in history are inspired an is reduced to the al. The spirit which 's Day into a day of e, which tags every - ave with the money roying the very foun+ I system, our home life, which is reapo sible for the appal. ling increase in tbinumber of divorces, and for that aha eful evil which is rightly called "race suicide." The speaker earnestly' entreated every Orangeman to strive in the might of God tit put down the evils which strike, at the root of that which every Orange- man is bound to uphold, viz: true and vital religion. The greatest evil of to- day is the danger lest our people should become materialistic; lest the nation of King Alfred, Wycliffe, Wesley, Knox, William of Orange and Queen Victoria, should forsake the; God who has laid the foundation of ; her greatness. The closing words of thr speaker were most emphatic in oonneotion with the latter part of the text, "lave not I sent thee?" Only when we have a cause from God and are sent by -Gad can we prevail against the presen4 day powers of evil, Only when we heti a Godlike character can we accomplish anything for God and Truth. Oar might lies not in parades or numbers, or memory of a man, but in the might of having a cause from God. "Do you believe your cause it from above, that God hail sent you" said the preacher, "Live it, then. Let every Orangeman display his credentials in his life. Be Orangemen, but above Tall be men—men not for sale, men strong with divine strength, men of God. The service throughout was heartily appreoiated. The choir presented pleasing appearance in their handsome surplices, and .the musical exercises were well rendered.
