Gray, of St. Marys, presented to the Public Library in that town a copy of a book of poems published by her mother, the late Mrs. M. A. Maitland. A few years ago.

But as three of the corner farms were owned by Kirks where Kirkton now stands and all of good size fam­ ilies, no other name would have been better. Woodham I will leave to some one who can go back furth­ er than the 70’s. In fact I doubt if many would have known what place you were asking for if you mentioned the name then but had you said ‘Bull’s Run” anyone could tell you where it was. I have not been able to find out exactly how it got that name. It was noted fox' its wild doings and many a fistic battle occurred there probably not bloody a.s the historical battle Bullsrun but apparently villagers thought so and ly gave it the name. In my last I spoke of of pupils attending from Woodham, ent generation, may doubt it but had they known the families, viz;—fit. Johns, Haines, Sawyers, Mills, Lan­ kins, Fords, Skiers, Kirks; yes, Woodham could claim some Kirks. There was David Kirk, a magistrate of that day, father of Mr’s. Amos Doupe and William, Kirk, who is still a resident and close to ninety year of age, I think this generation would have no reason to doubt the veracity of my statement. I agree with the lute Mr. A* G, Wood, of St. Marys where he says in bis book -entitled. “Old days on the farm” that an only child family was unheard of in those days. Then it was no unusual thing ta see a number of six footers with a full beam’d or moustache (not the Charlie Chaplin variety either) taking their education seriously, especially Jn the winter. The contrast was amusing to see three of four little ing alongide a six foot whiskers, both studying same old second reader. The second male teacher at Khk> ton was Mr. Robert Porter, another notable who later became one of the : law makers of this fair Dominion, beng elected to the House of Com­ mons at Ottawa as a representative for one of the riding of Huron co. I have great reason to remember Robert as lie was the first teacher to initiate me into the mysteries ox discipline during school hours. The school curriculum called for an liotti Friday afternoon for instructions In music when the Juniors picked up their benches and moved in with the Seniors. The only instrument Mr. Porter had was a small article he called a tune fork, which he would place between his teeth then place to his ear and start; Doh, ray, me, etc. ish. sters fork. our fingers and when we were en­ joying ourselves he suddenly drop­ ped his tune fork’on the desk and before we were aware we were marching out into the Junior room again, After closing the door he sat on a bench, took the largest 'boy across his give him a sure it did ing matter However of the lot but one, he got off entire­ ly. Aftei' placing me across his knee and giving me one resounding slap somewhere he unceremoniously rolled me out onto the floor and told us to get our lunch baskets and go home which we did with alacrity. Thus I .found we were expected to pay attention to lessons, even music, oi’ suffer the .consequence. Mi' D. W. Dulmage succeeded Mr., Porter, but as our school at Woodham was nearing completion we were not un­ der his teaching very long although I believe he was very earnest and efficient in his efforts. Woodham school was opened in the year 1878 and ‘what a proud bunch of young­ sters. Call it patriotism or loyalty, but the children of that day each claimed the superiority of their re­ spective village over the other. Bui the antagonism and school boy fights of the Kirkton school days over as we now proceed to ham. Of that later.

Many are tellng us today that religions have some good in them, that nil are but the varying efforts of men to find God, therefore one can come to God through any of them. ‘This lesson exposes that' false and deadly teaching. Baid the Lord, “Verily, verily, J say pnto you, lie that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up. some other way, the same as a thief and a robber.. But he that entereth in by the door is the Shep­ herd of the sheep.” Here 'the door’ is evidently God’s plan of salvation, the only way by which any sinner can be saved, and Christ, “the Shep­ herd of the sheep,” has entered in by that door in His fulfilment of God’s plan for saving men. All other founders of religions are thieves and robbers, despoiling and destroy ing the souls of men. Then the Lord changes the figure as he says, “Verily, verily, I say un­ to you, I am the door of the sheep. All that tbver came before Me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. “I am the door,” The Good Shepherd Himself is 'the only way of life and safety and pro­ vision for the helpless sheep. “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more , abundantly. I am the Good Shep­ herd; the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.” The Golden Text is from the pre­ cious twenty-third Psalm, which we rightly think Psalm. But realized that herd Psalms, one. Dr. Schofield and other Bible teachers have called attention to these three, as follows: “The shepherd work of our Lord hag three aspects: (1) As the ‘Good’ Shepherd He gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11). This answers to Psalm 22. (2) He is the ‘Great’ Shepherd, brought again from the dead (Heb. 13:20), to care for and make perfect the sheep. This 'answer to Psalm 23. (3) He is the ‘Chief’ Shepherd who is coming in glory to give crowns of reward to the faith­ ful shepherds (I. Peter, 5:4). This answers Psalm 24.” While there is only one Gospel, it is a universal Gospel not limited to Jews or Anglo-Saxons, for loved says: which also I my voice, and there shall be fold, and one Shepherd.” Gentiles, men white and yellow and red, in every land and continent—all Sought out by this Good Shepherd who loves them so much that says. “I lay down My life for Sheep.” Just here the Lord stops to plain more fully about this sacrifice of the shepherd that sheep may be saved. “Therefore doth My Father love Me, because 1 lay down My life that I might take it again. No man taketli it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself, down, and again.” Oer and to take Christ’s powerless to kill Him, to harm Him, even to la*y hands on Him, until God’s hour struck tor the great sa- rifice. Even then, as the Good Shepherd hung on the cross, I-Iis death was not natural, but superna­ tural. He did not die .<vom weak­ ness or exhaustion; He died in full strength by His own will, as He “cried with a loud voice . . Father, into Thy hands I commend My spir­ it; and having said this, He gave UP .the ghost (spirit).” (Luke 23:46,) Tno meaning is, literally, “dismiss­ ed His spirit.” The Jews said a strange thing of the Lord because of His revelation of Himself as the Good Shepherd. “And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad.” The Lord’s answer when he talked to them a little latel’, was both in warning and in blessing. "Ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I unto and Me; life; neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck^tJiem out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” “God so the world.” Hence the Lord “And other sheep I have, are not of this fold; them must ring, and they shall hear one and and and Stye fcxeter wimea-Aboorate Established 187i3r and 1887 Published every Thursday niorbi»< at Exeter, Ontario SUBSCRIPTION—2.00 per year advance.

JOHN WARD CHIROPRACTIC, OSTEOPATHY ELECTRO-THERAPY & ULTRA - VIOLET TREATMENTS PHONE 70 MAIN ST., EXETER ‘ Olease reserve, bedroom on A Canadian Pacific 11.59 p.m. train for Toronto,” is a common call nowadays into the railway offices by the travelling public. The company reports a very heavy demand of late for this type of accommodation and this has necessitated operation of bedroom sleeping cars on the runs between Montreal and Quebec, Montreal and. Toronto, Ottawa and Toronto, Toronto and De­ troit, and Montreal and Detroit. Privacy, comfort and the last word in convenience and luxury are keynotes of this latest devel­ opment in overnight travel by Canadian Pacific as expressed in these single and double bedroom- and compartment cars, which represent the equivalent of the finest of hotel accommodation. They provide all ■ the luxurious appointments of individual pri­ vate rooms with a real bed that assures deep and refreshing sleep. Each room has toilet, lavatory, electric fan, overhead ventilator with exhaust fan, reading lamp and other conveniences, the whole being decorated in restful colors. In the double bedroom cars an overhead bed may be opened from the wall, if desired, affording additional facilities. Some further features of the sleeping cars may be enumerated, which make the hours of sleep so refreshingly delightful. Tem­ peratures are controlled ther­ mostatically throughout the train; roller bearings t assure smoothness of motion; coil spring mattresses invite restful slumber; heavily padded carpeting harmonizes with interior arrangements, creating a general soothing effect. Berths are wide and long and unusually roomy. The service is presented to travellers aS a masterpiece of trans­ portation luxury and comfort. It is the realization of all those refinements of art and efficiency of which travel equipment designers long iiave dreamed. From the inception of this new service it has won increasing favor among travellers who distinguish between good average service and per­ fection in travel. The word “moderne” has its fullest and most inclusive expression in these cars. Inthe women’s ^fessing rooms attached to the sleeping, cats there is real comfort and satisfaction. The most fastidious woman will find facilities such as she would expect to see in a first-class hotel. Mirrored dressing table and other toilet accessories provide maximum accommodation without over­ crowding. Here afe vanity chairs conveniently placed, ample artificial and natural lights in softly colored shades, spotlessly white lavatories with hot and cold running water, specially dispensed soap and a never-ending supply of clean linen. This affords the requisite pendant to refreshing sleep­ perfect toilette. 'The men are treated m like fashion, They too have commodious dressing rodms where they can foregather not only for the purpose of making their toilets hut also for an enjoyable -smoke before retiring or after they have slept. Their room is perfectly lighted, well ventilated amply supplied with lavatories of newest design and in decorations / harmonizes with the general finish and furnishings. A. C.
