STILL TRUE OF HER
Of Britain it may still be said:
“Not once or twice in our rough island’s story,
The path of duty has been the way to glory.”
•* *■ ■* * * * .♦
HE CHORTLES
That best-natured of Englishmen and wisest of statesmen, Mr.
Stanley Baldwin, must have many a quiet smile to himself as news
agents and radio broadcasters give out his speeches long before he
knows what he is going to say or has uttered a single word.
FUNNIER
There are funnier things than watching a plowing match when
the thermometer is about 34, when an occasional sleety shower
puts in an appearance and a 35-mile-an-hour North-East wind is
blowing. v
HAS WON HIS WAY
Throughout his leadership Mr. Baldwin has often been exposed
to violent personal abuse, and the policies which lhe has .upheld have
often been violently attacked. The critics are now silent; and Mr.
Churchill, who has been the most prominent in recent political—
though never in personal—hostility, has paid his refound leader the
generous but not unmerited compliment of saying that “the Prime
Minister has gathered to himself a greater volume of confidence and
good will than any other man I recollect in my long public life.”—
The London Times.

NOT ASLEEP
Britain is wise in the present international muddle, in refusing
to be either wheedled or bullied into, fighting the battles of the
world. That grave matters are afoot that may take heavy toll of
scores of nations before they are finally settled, is as clearly discern
ed by her as by any other nation. Equally clearly does she see that
she has no duty in the way of allowing her sons to go to battle, other
nations meanwhile acting the camp follower. Just now she is re
minding European nations that they must assume the responsibility
of possession as well as its emoluments. She has no intention of
saving one nation from a black eye while other nations steal her
coat.
BEAD, MARK, LEARN
The London Times’, the world’s greatest newspaper publishes
the following;
“Professor D. F. Fraser-Harris, lecturing at the New Health
Summer School at Margate on Thursday, criticized the slimming
habit among women.
If the human nervous system was to be nourished, he said, it
must have food containing nitrogen and prosphoros. Those sub
stances were found in so-called fiat-making foods like milk and but
ter, and all the fashion pates which had been published since the
time of the Garden of Eden were of not the slightest use in break
ing down that law. If girls were going to be sufficiently insane
to starve themselves, then they) were simply breaking the biological
daw exactly as a criminal broke law. The criminal might go to the
g-alows, and the absurd .girl might, in some cases, die.
A Special Edition
The Outlook of Middleton, Nova
Scotia, printed a special edition of
their paper in recognition of the es
tablishment of the first branch of
the 'Canadian Canners, Limited, in
the Maritime Provinces. The new
factory commenced operation last
month and canned around 1,000 bar
rels, of pears. 'The paper contains
1'0 pages and is printed in two colors
on a high grade book) paper. The
paper contains many advertisements
extending congratulations to the
Canadian Canners. ' It .shows pic
tures of the new .factory, the em
ployees and the executive of which
Mr. B. R. Bartow is the manager.
From an extensive writeup we take
the following excerpt: “Mr. Bartow
who superintended the erection of
the fine group, of buildings and the
installation of the intricate machin
ery, had an herculean job on his
hands. More specially was this so
when their time- was cut noticeably
short iby the early ripening of the
pears, which the company has. pur
chased, and were the first .fruits to
be handled by the Middleton factory.
That Mr. Bartow knew his business
and knew it well was putting it
mildly. He was a very busy man,
and the wonder of it is, how he man
aged to. pull through and have
everything going and ready to start
operations when the pears were suf
ficiently ripe to go into the work
room.” Mr. Bartow was formerly
manager of the Exeter Branch of the
Canadian Canners. The Outlook was
received in Exeter by Mr, T. S.
Woods.

Churches, Railway
and Cemetery
The following interesting paper
was read by Mrs. B. W. F. Beavers
at the Gradmothers’ meeting of the
Women’s Institute last week and is
bing printed at the request of the
members.
To get records of the early history
of our churches here, seems quite a
task, as so- few of the pioneers, or
their deeendants have these records
but probably a few incidents in con
nection with these institutions which
I have gleaned from different sources
may be of interest.
The first, and probably the only
one in the village -was the English
■Church, built on the property one
block west of the Public School but
the year it was dedicated seems un
certain, however the first baptism
was in the year 1860. Before this
time a place of worship was in a
school on the property on Huron St.
where a home now stands.
The English Church in the early
days was the one attended by the
settlers coming from England, Ire
land and Scotland and as many of
of the farmers near the village drove
considerable distances to church,
other small churches were built in
the surrounding districts later.
In the year 1888 the Trivitt Mem
orial Church replaced the small
church, which had been s-old to the
Agricultural Society and was moved
back a block on their property and
is still in use as a building for their
exhibits. The new church was built
by Thomas Trivitt, one of the early
citizens whom,, the records tell us,
was a man who showed gratitude to
Almighty God foir abundant means
placed at his disposal by using a
portion of it, to erect this beautiful
building, fully equipping it for di
vine worship and is one of the finest
buildings in this district. The church
was consecrated on the last day of
the year 1889, and on the same day
Mrs. Trivitt was laid to rest in the
vault beneath the chancel floor,
where also the body of Mr. Trivitt,
rests.
The first marriage in the Trivitt
Memorial Church was Emily Jeckell
to Mr. Howe.
1888, the Hirst Rector, Rev. S. F.
Robinson; 1935, the present Rectoir,
Rev. M. A. Hunt.
The first Bible Christian Church
(now James St. United Church) was
built in 1-852, one and a quarter
miles east of Exeter, on the corner
of the farm, now owned by Chas.
Godbolt. This -church was called
Ebenezer Appointment. The first
•church service held in Exeter was in
the home of Mr. James Pickard and
in 1S5-6, the first Bible Christian
Church was dedicated on the site
where Mr. Walter’s shoe shop now
stands. Later the chuirch was 'built
on James St. to accommodate the
large congregation in the year IS62.
In the year 1884, a number of Meth-
od'ist bodies united, and became the
Meth-odist Church in Canada and
the Bible Christian also came
into.- the union. It is interesting to
note that one of these early relig
ious enthusiasts used to say, “if they
locked him up in a barrel he would
continue shouting “hallelugahe”
through the bungh'ole”.
The 'first minister in James Street
Meth-odist -Church was Rev. George
Webber, 1884 and the church went
into union With the Presbyterian and
Congregational in 1925. The present
minister is Rev. A. Page.
Main Street Weslyan Methodist
Church was built in 1869, but pre
vious to this a small church stood
on the hill, -on the west from the
residence of Mr. S. Elliott and the
early families attended Sunday
School, and the late Mrs. Harry
Hooper, an enthusiastic Tempearnce
woriker signed the pledge as a young
girl. The date of the opening -of this
church has not been available.
In '189 6 Main Street 'Chuir-ch was
burned and rebuilt the same year on
the same site, although a number
of families left the church and join
ed the James Street Church but the
(remaining band of loyal supporters
were left to carry on, which they
have, and in 1925 with the other
churches joined the uh'ion. The first
minister in 1869 was Rev, Chapman
and the present minister is Rev. A,
E. Elliott, 1935,
The congregation of Caven Pres
byterian Church was organized in
the year 1861, by the Rev. John
Logie.
'The first meeting and also first
services were held in the brick store
at the north end of Exeter called
at that time Francistown.
.About the year 1863, a church was
built on the north bank of the river
west of Main street, a substantial
frame building sufficient to meet
the needs of the congregation. In
187 6 this church was sold to the
Catholic communicants and it is -re
membered by the writer, being one
of the spectators of a very elaborate
wedding of one of Mr. McPhlllip’s
daughters, he being a lawyer 'in the
village at that time. This church
was later bought and mtoved to the
corner -farm bordering on the town
at the North End and used as a
stable or bairn for many years.
Caven Church on the present site
had as its first preacher, Rev. A. J.
Hartley and was named Caven after
Rev. Dr. William -Caven, Principal
of Knox College.
In 1883, Rev, W. M. Martin be
came the minister and remained for
2-6 years, during which time the
church prospered and he with his
wife and family 'grew up and were
honored and respected and beloved
by all who knew them. The church
celebrated its Golden Jubilee in
1911 and this year a memorial tab
let was unveiled (in the church by
their -children to their memory.
The present minister is Rev. Mr.
Gordon.
Tlie Railway
The -property through which the
London, Huron and Bruce line of
■Grand Trunk Railroad runs, was
given to the village by the Reeve,
Mr. Isaac Carl'ing M.P.P. and was
built about the year 18'68.
Needless to say it was a great day
for both old and yqung when the
first big iron horse went through
the town, many of the boys and
probably a few girls played truant
from school that -day and got the
strap from the stern school teacher
as well as a second repetition when
they landed home, although it would
seem wise to. have given them a holi
day for such a great event. Among
the first passengers on that tra-in
were two young ladies attending
college, Miss Carling at Helmuth.
College, (London and Miss Elliott at
Toronto.
The Cemetery
It has not "been easy to obtain the
information regarding the date of
purchase of the property now used
as our cemetery, but we are told
that a picnic was held on the river
bank near where the property was
bought and the committee who- were
in charge of the purchase, decided
on the site, where the cemetery is
located, and not only residents of
the village -but from all the sur
rounding districts have purchased
Lots and have their loved ones rest
ing there. The first two buried the
same day, were Honor Bissett Gid-
ley, mother of Mrs. Jesse Elston
and Mirs. Sherbrooke in the year—.
It is one of the nicest cemeteries
in Western Ontario and is situated
about a mile west of Exeter and
has had to be enlarged many times.
It is now owned by the muncipality
and kept in splendid -condition.
