Shapton, 6th con. of Hay Twp that has continued for several days and has swept over 400 acres of bush and pasture land, The fire was no­ ticed as soon as it started and an effort was made to extinguish it but it was soon beyond control. Farmers in the area’were hastily organized tc combat the blaze'and at the time oa going to press while it is under con­ trol, the fire is still smouldering./ At times during the day and with a breeze blowing the fire swept rapid­ ly over the fields. Shrubbery stumps, roots of trees and fence posts have been smouldering foi* days ano in some cases the fire has burned deeply into the ground destroying the sub-soil. The path of the fire was stopped by turning up several rows of sod and by the heroic efforts ot' the men of the community who were on the job night and day, their meajs sistance of neighbors. A Steady pall of smoke hung over the area for several days. Fortunately there ate no buildings on the farms on. which the fire burned but a barn belong­ ing to Mr, Amos Wildfong was en­ dangered but saved through the as­ sistance of neighors.

TRIVITT ANNIVERSARY Trivitt Memorial church celebrat­ ed their 45th anniversary on Sunday The vestibules of the church were decorated with grain, fruits and flow­ ers. Special services were held both morning and evening. At the morning service Rev. A. A. Trumper of London, a former rector, occupied the pulpit and many of his ola friends were delighted to renew ac­ quaintances and to listen to his splendid message. At the evening service the Right Reverend C. A Seager, D. D., Bishop of Huron, was the special speaker. All of the other churches in town withdrew their ser­ vice in honor of the occasion &nd the attendance at Trivitt was exception­ ally large. Mr. Seager, who is a former Goderich boy, said that in his youth he was impressed generosity of the church (Mr. and build a memorial honor to God. The speaker took for 8; 4 “They that were abroad went everywhere preaching the word.” It was the day of small things. “Groat streams from little streams arise; great oaks from tiny acorns spring.” Saul made havoc of the early followers of Christ and en­ tering into every home committed men and women to prison. Like the scattering of coals of fire, they that were scattered abroad went every­ where preaching the gospel. A few nameless Christians running away from persecution suddenly finds that the hand of. God blesses- them. It was at Antioch that the followers of Jesus were first called Christians and it was here that a mighty thing happened that changed the face of the earth. “Separate me Barnabas and Saul” and they started out to spread the gospel to all lands. The secrets which brought about so mar­ vellous a change suggests two ans­ wers. First, these two men had the root of the matter in them. The fire burned within. The speaker be­ lieves that there never was a time when there was more of a religious feeling among men than there is to­ day but it is more a fumbling after God than a crisis that has come intc their lives. What is needed is that which transforms men into men of conviction and fire. He who re­ ceives God’s spirit transforms his life. How feeble and how dull is the fire in the heart of most Chris­ tians. The influence of a single man or woman is beyond all measure The spirit of Jesus works in our lives if we keep in the spirit and do the things we ought to do. The Christians who Were scattered abroad were men who were caught up in the stream and purposes of God Christ’s followers in Jerusalem were tremendously concerned about the work in Jerusalem. Jesus had said “Go ye into all the world” but the work had centred at Jerusalem When the work was broken up the worker’s were scattered abroad. It seqmed at the time a tragic thing to have the work broken up. God may not have sent the persecution but he used it and out of it came the outbreak of Christianity parts of the earth, persecution God set his afoot in the world, catastrophe Christianity might have died with the Jews in , Jerusalem God can use the humblest worker He uses the dust of the earth to build the dom, Special the choir sang a sole part in the anthem at both the morning and evening ser­ vices and Mrs. N.
