FULLARTON MAN DIES
IN CRASH
William P. Stacey Killed!, Wife and!
Daughter Seriously Injured
Colliding with an auto driven by
Emergy Dunn, of port Huron, while
motoring to Pontiac, Mich., for a
visit with relatives, William P.
Stacey, postmaster and general
store-keeper at Fullarton Corners
died in the Port Huron Hospital
on Wednesday, September 4th of in
juries. His wife and daughter,
Harriet, who accompanied him, lie
in the hospital, the former suffering
from shock and the latter with a
fractured skull from which she is
not expected to recover.
The victim of the fatal accident
was born in Fullarton Township 7'2
years ago, and farmed the early
part of his life, later taking over
the general store and post office at
Fullarton Corners, . which he had
conducted for many years and had
become well and faorably .known
all over the district. His high
character and honest dealings had
gained for him an honorable posi
tion. among the residents of Fullar
ton, where word of his death was
received with general regret. He
was a member of the Fullarton
United Church and served as elder
for many years.
Besides his injured wife and
daughter, Harriet, who was so ser
iously injured in the mishap which
cost him his life, there is another
daughter, Nellie, .who was left at
home in charge of the store and
post office when the holiday trip
to< Michigan was undertaken. A
brother, John, was killed in a fatal
auto accident eight years ago.
Three sisters survive him, Mrs.
Charles iLanders, of FullaTton Cor
ners, Mrs. Glenning, of Detroit and
Mrs. Watson, of Motherwell. The
funeral took-place Saturday from
tho Fuillarton United church with in
terment in the Mitchell Cemetery.

Timothy,

the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15).

tles given us other facts about the
young man. In First Timothy we
learn taht Paul left his young friend
in charge of the 'Church at Ephes
us, rightly called “a post of respon
sibility and difficulty, especially for
one who was stl'l a young man.” (1
Tim. 4:12) .
Few young Christians have had
Timothy’s privilege in being under
the direct training of such a man as
Paul, But we can all have the bene
fit of Paul’s inspired counsels to
Timothy given in this lesson and the
two Epistles bearing Timothy’s
name. We can all enter the school
*in which Timothy matriculated, as
described in the Goden Text. We can
feed upon the whole Word of God,
that is, the entire Bible; and, as we
"rightly divide" the Scriptures we
can, by God’s grace and direct illum
ination from His word, become
workmen that need not to be asham
ed. The great and beloved singing
evangelist, “Charley" Alexander,
who travelled around the world in
evangelistic tours with Torrey and
Chapman, never signed his name
anywhere without adding “2 Tim.
2:15,”

Paul calls Timothy “my dearly
beloved son.” There was no blood
relationship between the two, and
Paul evidently meant that he had
been given the privilege of being
Timothy’s spiritual
had led the young
as Saviour.
But Timothy was
parents. For Paul speaks
feigned faith that is in thee, which
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois,
and thy mother Eunice.” It is be
lieved that Eunice and Lois were led
to Christ at the time of Pauls first
missionary, journey to Lystra; in
that case, the mother or grand
mother may have brought the little
boy to his faith in the Lord; and he
would still be Paul’s spiritual child
through the others. True Christian
training in the family is the best of
all.
Prayer was part of Timothy’s
training. “Without ceasing I have
remembrance of thee in my prayers
night and day.” Paul, by prayer,
was training from each other quite
as much as when they were together
Are we faithful to the training of
our cildren and our loved ones by
power without ceasing in their be
half?
There was warm personal devo
tion and effection between the two
men. Paul longed to see Timothy
when they were separated, and Tim
othy longed to be with Paul. ,
Here is striking counsel from the

fore I put thee in remembrance that
thou stir up the gift of God, which
is in thee by the putting on of my
hands,”
God had given Timothy a gift—
something that God alcne could have
given him.
Tim'othy has received this gift,
and holds it, for it “is in thee."
•God gave the gift to Tim. thy by
the hand of Paul, the apostle being
God’s own messenger.
Therefore Timothy is to “stir up"
this gift; he is to use what he has,
and use it effectively, not neglect
ing it.
The same counsel can be given
to every child of God, If we are sav- j God has done for him is definitely
ed, we have unspeakably rich gifts I
from God in Christ. This always • .comes through some one else, some)
other Christian. Are we using what'
we have, stirring it up by faithful'
service and witnessing?
And what did God give Timothy?
A spirit of fear? God forbid! "For
God hath not given us the spirit of
fear; but of power, and of love, and
of a sound mind."
God’s love for us, fully bestowed
upon us in Christ as Saviour, is per
fect Jive; and “perfect love casteth
out fear" (I John 4:18).
In Christ, God gives us’ His
omnipotence to draw upon as
need it; therefore “I can do
things through Christ which strengh-
eneth me.” (Phil. 4:13).
God’s own love dwells in us, and
enables us to love others as He
loves us.
And we have a sound mind when
we have Christ as Saviour, for “we
have the mind of Christ” (I Cor. 2:-
16).
Persecution and affliction, were
to be part of the training of Tim
othy, as of Paul,
this? We must '

flictions of the gospel according to
the power of God."
Our training means that we are
to remember that when God saved
us it was "not according to our
works, but according to
purpose and grace, which
us in Christ Jesus before
began." The well-trained

Seriousness of Backache
Women! Are you dragging around, day after
day, with a persistent, nagging backache?
Has it occurred to you this may be a warning of
disordered kidney action or bladder irritation?
One of the simplest and most effective remedies
for the weak, lame and aching back is Doan's
Kidney Pills. They are a stimulant diuretic, acting
directly on the kidneys. They help heal the delicate
membranes and reduce the inflammation of the
kidneys thereby making their action regular and
natural.
Get a box from your druggist. Take them regu
