Senior, Clerk INQUEST ADJOURNED The inquest into the death of Jo seph Scevik, who was killed on No. 4 highway about two miles and a half south of Exeter on Sunday, October 8th was held before Coroner Dr. W. E. Weekes in the town hall on Tues day morning at 10 a.m. and after the hearing of several witnesses the court was adjourned until Tuesday, October 24th at 2 p.m. The first witness to be heard was Harry Zil- ika, a companion of J. iSchevik who was with him on the night of the fatal accident. He told of proceed ing along the highway between 9.30 and 9.45 o’clock when they were overtaken by a car driven by John Mutch, of Detroit. Both were tra velling on the east side of the road and Mutch was going north. Scevik was walking ahead of Zilika and both were pushing bicycles as the former’s wheel was out of commis sion. Cars were approaching from both directions and the north bound car after passing Zilika struck Scev ik who was instantly killed. Mr. G. J. Dow was called and stated that he had passed two men a short time before. He did not see them until he was close upon them and pulled out just in time to miss them. Mr. Mutch testified that on the night of the accident he was meet ing a car going south and saw a man with a wheel ahead of him. He could not turn far to the centre of the road on account of the other car. After passing one man he heard something strike the ca.r but did not know what he had hit as he had only seen the one man walking with his bicycle. The body was picked up and brought to the office of Dr. Fletcher. After the hearing of Mutch’s evidence the court was adjourned.

SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY The anniversary services in Caven Presbyterian church on Sunday last were a splendid success. uarge con gregations were present at both morning and evening services. The special speaker for the day was Rev. Dr, Jas, Smart, of Ailsa Craig. The choir provided special music and were assisted at the morning service by Mrs. C, R. Howard, who sang a very delightful solo, "I Will Magni fy Thee.” Miss Kathleen iStrang sang a solo part in the anthem. At the evening service Messrs, terafton Cochrane and Raymond Pryde both took solo parts in the anthems. In the morning the Main Street United church was closed in honor of Caven and in the evening the Trivitt Mem orial Church, Exeter and the Carmel Presbyterian Church Hensall, were closed. Rev. Mr. Hunt and Rev. Mr. Young assisted with the evening ser vice. At the evening service Dr. Smart took for his subject the first eight Verses of Isaiah which referred to the conversion of the prophet. He stated that one of the unfortunate things of the church today was the neglect of the old testament proph ets. These prophets of God were men who had a living message for the church in their day and have a message for our Church today if we have a mind to see it. The sit uation was somewhat sfmiliar in the days of Isaiah to that of today. Na tions were building up armaments and making alliances with other countries. The word of Isaiah came to the nation that they were not to trust in horses and chariots but to put their trust in God. Such advice seemed impracticable. Nations then and now believed in armaments and preparedness but history shows that these have brought bloodshed and bitter experiences. Isaiah had a vis ion of the majesty, power and sov ereignty of God. The truth of the sovereignty of God is slipping away and there is danger of thinking of Him as a God of love who appeals to us to accept his rule. But whether we accept or reject God our lives are in his hands. We have freedom to choose but judgment rests with God. Isaiah saw that formal religion was not enough. We are apt to meas ure ourselves by the lives of others, instead of in the balance of God. God expects reverence, purity, readi ness for services. The deadness in the life of the Church and beadness in our Christian lives is when we sink back into self complacency. We should cease thinking of our vir- tures. It was when Isaah’s lips were touched with a live coal from off the altar that he heard the call to ser vice. God needs messengers today. The task and the opportunities are here. Do we hear the cry of Isaiah "Here am I send me”? SPLENDID CONCERT A telegram was received in- Exeter on Wednesday morning from Goder ich stating that the Dominion Fes tival -Series was a fine success wth a good oversale.
