M.H.S. BOYS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP The Mitchell High School football team went 'to Exeter last week where they played the final game of the H. Athletic Association, which re­ sulted in a win for the Mitchell boys to the tune of 7 to 1. The M. H. S. has had a very .successful season, out of the 8 games they started, they ’dropped only one. The Mitchell team has scored 35 goals and .lias had only J scored against them. In, winning the league the boys have thus wiped out the disgrace that was brought on Mjtchell High School when they went to the Huron field meet, where they only succeeded in gaining 7 points, when Goderich cap­ tured some 60 odd. For the splen­ did work of the individual and the team play, the Mitchell High School Board has donated a crest for each of the. boys and also an old English M„ which will be presented at the M. H. S. commencement exercises. The boys who will receive them are Sterling Golightly, C. Drown, H. Cown, 'Thomas Moore, Harold Bett- ger, Fred Cullit-on; on the forward line, A. Walker, J. Hanson, T. Pull­ man; on the half back line, Clare Weber, Ernie Myers; on the full back, and R. Walker in 9 the goal. Mr. A. J.

Situated as this good town is. in. an agricul­ tural community second to none in the province, there is no reason why any deserving' man, woman or child should go hungry. But while this is the case, grave fears are entertained that there are some deserving folk who are likely to. go unhelped this winter while there are a number who will receive far more help than they in any sense deseiwe or really require. That none may receive more than his due and that none may lack, would it not be the fair thing for the Chamber of Commerce to give the public a lead whereby simple justice may be done to donors and recipients alike? Sweet charity and good will lose none of their acceptability and effectiveness, by being systematic. In the mean time, surely Exeter and surrounding townships can give employment to a great many of the capable but unemployed hands in the community. Odds and ends of public attended to. This work must be done sometime, that work attended to now? There was an old woman who liv­ ed in a shoe; She bought her an engine and pres­ ently flew To Egypt, to China and Greece on a dare— And always refueled the -old shoe in the air. One widely read business journal tells us that the United States alone there were produced five million sots, that number being nine hundred thousand more that could be marketed. 'Seven million, five hundred thousand homes during 192Q had radio sets in them. During that same year the United States handled more than one million, eight hundred tand fifty thousand automobiles. During the first nine months of that year the sales of radios and cars simply were enormous. Cash and credit for both these articles were strained to the,breaking point, thanks to high pressure salesmanship. Then came the crash of last October and November and the present perplexintg situation. And sales in these lines were but symptomatic. Civilization another thing, over-built itself. Instead of walking or creep­ business folk swaggered.

Ministers and laymen to the number of two .hundred were pres­ ent. The morning session opened at 9.30' o’clock, Rev. C. J. Moorhouse, chairman of the Presbytery, presid­ ing. A short devotional period was observed and the secretary, Rdv. Mr. Bremner, read the minutes of the last meeting, which, after one or two minor corrections, were confirmed. .Rev. Dr. Peevor, of Ingersoll, one of the outstanding preachers of the j United Church of Canada, was pres- j ent and gave an address that was at ’ once interesting and inspiring. The speaker said he was not enthusiastic about conferences. He thought there was. perhaps a tendency to pass every problem on to a conference, a presbytery or a committee instead of solving it by individual effort. “Everybody should learn to ’plow his own furrow.’ Individual effort makes for better manhood; overcom­ ing one obstacle makes us stronger and better able to overcome the dif­ ficulties that over-reaching about doing about’. . We Stanley Jones says we are possess­ ed of the ‘movie mind.” He urged upon 'his hearers to cultivate quiet­ ness, restfulness, thoughtfulness ■Speaking more particularly to ministers he said there was a ten­ dency to do things by proxy instead of shouldering the job and putting it over by personal, individual ef­ fort. The Church, he said, was an “or­ ganism,” not an organization. "Re­ ligion is a “power” not a profession “The dynamite of an earnest conse-l crated personality will accomplish nlore for the advancement of Chris­ tian religion than any amount of or­ ganization or empty profession.” The doctor kept his hearers’ atten tion for an hour, after which the session adjourned until 2 p.m. iThe ladies of the church had pre­ pared dinner for the delegates in the church hall and about two hundred sat down to well-laden tables. The afternoon session opened at 2 o’clock and was principally given over to reports of committees and to a round table conference conduct­ ed by Rev, Dr, Peevor. Some pertin­ ent questions were asked and very helpful suggestions were made con­ cerning different phases of church and welfare work.

RIED IN LONDON Here is a paragraph that every parent should cut out and read again and again. Folk who ’are inclined to think the Sunday School is ‘good for’ only • weak minded women and infants should read, study and take notice: Of 4,000 boys who passed before a New York judge on their way to jail, reformatory, or parole, only three had belonged to a Sunday School. The fact is recited as powerful testimony for religious training of the young. In a letter to Dr. George William Carter, secretary of the New York Bible Society, reprinted in “The Christian Observer”, Presbyterian, Judge Lewis L. Fawcett, of the State Supreme Court, gives his experience of twenty-three years on the bench. “Permit me to state that my ex­ perience during the twenty-three years- on the bench, in which time over 4,000 boys under the age of twenty-one years were .convicted of crime before me, of whom but three were members of a Sabbath- School, has satisfied me of the value of SabbatluSchool, has satisfied me of the value of Sabbath-Schools to the extent to which Sabbath-schools exists, from the growth of criminals. “My experience also of their value to the “In 1,902 cases criminal sentences, in a minister, priest or interested at my request, only sixty- two of the boys were brought back for violation of the conditions of parole. .< I believe the reform in the remaining -cases, (over 1,000) was prompt and permanent. “In fact, I regard our Sabbath- Schools, including those of all faiths, as the only effective means to stem the rising tides of vice and crime among our youth, the heavy burden chiefly because of ,the lack of re­ ligious training of the youth. “If all the children could be kept under the, influence of the Sabbath-- school, and the grown-ups were ac­ tive in some church, we could close our prisons and jails, instead of be­ ing compelled to enlarge and in­ crease. theii’ number. “The problem of youth is the. pro­ blem of humanity. “There are over ^17,000,000 hoys and girls i# this country growing up without moral training from any source—Protestant, Catholic or Jew­ ish. “May your labor of lovn in teaching God to the'children be fraught with most glorious results through their salvation and their work in His cause in the year.s to come.” "With such unquestioned evidence before them training,” Observer, cuts are v feature of satisfies me individual, bf suspended each of which rabbi became Society carries of criminality, pro Thos.
