The car was filled with veg­ etables, fruit and foodstuffs of all descriptions and was brought in from Dashwood, Grand Bend, Cred- iton, Greenway, Centralia, Elimville and Thames Road. The response was very liberal and in addition to the car about nine tons extra have been collected. A car was loaded at Hensall Tuesday and Wednesday and they have more than enough for a car? Another car will be shipped from Exeter the beginning of next week, to take the surplus from both Hensall and ’Exeter. An appeal is being made to those who were not able to assist with the other to bring in their supplies for week.

TRAPPED IN BLAZING CAR What might have proved a very- serious accident took place on liigh- day No. 4, two and a half miles south of Exeter, on Saturday evening. About 6 o’clock Mr. Rudolph Etue, of the Bluewater Highway, near Drysdale, and his bride of less than a week, were returning from their honeymoon trip when they came up­ on four horses that had wandered onto the highway at Devon corner. In attempting to avoid hitting them the car left the road and overturn­ ed into the ditch. Fire started un­ der the hood of the engine and Mr. and Mrs. Etue were unable to emerge from their perilous position as the doors on the upper side of the car were jammed tight. Mr. Well. Kerslake, who was passing at the time, pried the door open aud effected their release. Mrs. Etue was brought to the office of Dr. Fletcher suffering from slight bruis­ es. Mr. Etue escaped unhurt. The fire was extinguished altyter some damage had been done to the wiring and some parts of the motor. One of the fenders was slightly damag­ ed. The horses “belonged to Mr. E. Whiting and Mr. Wm.

Ross of the Exetei’ High School staff upon the winning of the prize of $1'5.00 in an essay contest sponsored by the Provincial W. C. T. U. This contest was open to all the school principals and teachers of the province. It was a test of knowledge composition and teaching ability. Her task was to develop a lesson plan to show that the use of alco­ holic beverages is a contributing cause of poverty and ignorance. This she has done in a manner which has won warm praise from the Provin­ cial Superintendent of Scientific Temperance Instruction in public school and colleges. We are glad to congratulate Miss Ross upon the honour she has brought to herself, her school and to her profession. FORMER PASTOR DIES lastWord was rceived in Exeter week of the death of Rev. Martin J. Wilson, a former pastor of the James Street United Church, who died at his home in San Leandro, Calif., on October 1st. -About two years ago Mr. Wilson met with an auto acci­ dent and up until his death he suf­ fered form the effects. He was taken ill on the Wednesday previous to his death passing away on Sunday. He is survived by his bereaved widow. In July 1919 Rev. Mr. Wilson came to the James St. United church as pastor from Hamilton succeeding the Rev. J. W. Baird. After preaching here for four years Mr. Wilson went to Amherstburg and was succeeded by Rev. W. E. Donnelly. Mr. Wilson retired from active ministry in 1925 and has not been preaching steady since. JAMES ST, ANNIVERSARY The anniversary .services James St. United church on were a splendid success, tier. Little, of Toronto, was the speaker and .delighted the large con­ gregations that were present for both the .morning and evening ser­ vices.. The choir provided some very fine music. For the evening service the Trivitt Memorial church and the Main Street United Church withdrew their services. Associated with the Pastor, Rev. J. H. Stainton on the platform in addition to Rev. Mr. Little were Rev, M. A, Hunt, Rev. A. E. Elliott and Rev. J. W. Down. The benediction was pronounced Iby Rev. J. R. Peters, of Elimville. The choir furnished two anthems in the morning, the solo parts being taken by Mrs. A. O. Elliott «nc Miss Vera Essery. They also sang two an­ thems at night, Mr. Walter Cutbush taking a solo part. sung by Messrs. W. Cuthush, P. Va- hey and Mrs. Stainton and Mrs. Goulding. Dr. Little rooK for his subject “The Changed Heart” based on the Beautitudes. He said that what we desire to 'become will large­ ly determine what we do become. Jesus was not alone a man of sor­ rows hut was also a man of joy. He radiated joy and gladness. Jesus gave the Beautitudes but he not only gave them, he lived them. They are the standards set for us. The ones whom we wish for oui- companions are the one who live up to the Beau­ titudes. Jesus was merciful; he was a Peacemaker; he was meek. For this standard he lived, and for this standard he died. Strong character comes through struggle. Christian­ ity is a religion of experience. The speaker believed in the educational approach to Jesus Christ, and has also come face to face with many conversions. Our dominant desires will determine our destines. Chris­ tian fellowship is a daily consecra­ tion. Christianity is not an easy re­ ligion. It is the religion of the cross, but the way of the cross leads home. •of the Sunday Dr. G. .special A quartette was Harold Elliott, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. 0.
