The bride, given in marriage by her father, made a charming picture in her gown of white lace over satin, made on prin­ cess lines and extended into a train. Her sister, Miss Ethel Elliott, WaS bridesmaid, while her maid of honor •was Miss Una Schellenberger, Mit­ chell, sister of the bridegroom. Little Misses Marion and Donna Fletcher, of London, nieces of the bride, made dainty flower girls. The groom was supported by his brother, Mr. Carl Schellenberger, of Mitchell.

Magistrate Hawkshaw said the terms would run concurrently so Haggitt will serve two months. Harvey Carrick, of Stephen, was sentenced to 30 days in jail for theft ■'of potatoes. Both accused pleaded guilty to the charges. They were ar­ rested by Provincial Constable L. L. Shipley, who was called to inves­ tigate the theft of potatoes from a McGillivray Township .garden. Police found a home-made black­ jack at .Haggit’s home. It was be­ cause of this that he was charged ■with possessing an offensive weapon. “This is a highly dangerous pon,” Grown Attorney Norman New­ ton told the court. "If a man ever struck on the head with he would be killed.” “I just made it as dn ornament," explained Haggitt. Stop and Go” signs are now so commonplace in the everyday life of most of us that we accept them unconsciously, and.—if we have re- O'rd for our own life and the lives B’f others—we obey them. But have we realized that "Stop and Go” signs ought to be of frequent, even con­ tinual experience in our spiritual life? They were Just that in the experience of Paul in his mission­ ary journeyings, and of the other apostles and early Christians. The “Go" sign came from God to Paul as a missionary when the Holy Ghost said to the Church at Antioch “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." ((Acts 13:2). Under the direct command and leading of the Holy Spirit these first Christian missionaries began their part of the work of world evangelization. This had been going on for some eight years and the "Go” signs had taken Paul far afield from Antioch and Jerusalem into many cities of Asia Minor. Now, suddenly, and unex­ pectedly “Stop" signs appeared. Paul and Barnabas had separated and 'Si­ las and young Timothy were with Paul as missionaires. They had tra­ veled through Phrygia and Galatia, Roman provinces in what we -call Asia Minor, and they expected to go on into a province called Asia, which was directly in the course of their journeying. The "Stop” sign went up as they "were forbidden of’ the Holy Ghost to preach the word i in Asia.” They obeyed, moving on north to Mysia, and then they plan­ ned to push into a great province to the northwest, Bitliynia. Another unexepected “Stop” sign appeared: “They assayed to go into Bitliynia, but the Spirit suffered them not.” Paul was a man of large exper­ ience, much practical common sense and deep spirituality. Doubtless he had felt quite sure, after studying all the conditions, that Bithynia should be their next missionary field. But God had other plans; God knew more than Paul; so up went the heavenly “Stop” sign. And Paul, unlike Moses and I some other very worthy T not argue with God, but J saves time and strength wea- were that, BALL—ALLEN A quiet but pretty wedding took Iilace at Londesboro United church when Dorothy Helen, youngest dau­ ghter of Mr. and Mrs. T, G.

It and costly mistakes to obey God’s Stop and Go signs without argument or delay. It may have seemed like a strange detour to the missionary party as they passed by Mysia and came down to Troas, in just the opposite di­ rection from that which they had (planned. Troas being on the east­ ern seacoast of Mysia, looking out over the Aegean Sea. But there were sealed orders waiting for Paul. A vision appeared to him in the night: “There stood a man of Mace­ donia, and prayed him saying. Come over into Macedonia and help us.” Macedonia was not in Asia at all; it was across the Aegean Sea, over in Europe. So God calling the mission­ aries to begin the evangelization of a new continent. Again there was no agrument or delay, but immediate, obedience. They were convinced that the Lord was back of the call to preach the Gospel in Macedonia, and they set sail from Troas across the Aegean Sea, holding a straight course to Samothracia, then to Neapolis on the Macedonian seacoast, and then north to Philippi, “which is the chief city of Macedonia and a colony.” They settled do.wn in Philippi for "certain days,” going on the first iSabibath to a place “out of the city by a riverside, where prayer was wont to 'be made.” When we are travelling, or in new territory any­ where, it is a safe rule to go to any place where prayer is “wont to be made.” There were mostly women at this .Sabbath Day prayer meeting near Philippi—and only God knows what the prayers of women have done for the world, and are still do­ ing. Paul addressed this little pray­ er meeting and, as in all his mission­ ary addresses, he brought them Good News of the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Israel’s Messiah and Saviour of the world. A wcman named Lydia, evidently a business woman of large respon­ sibilities and. mean's, and a worship- per of God, was one “whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.” (She and her household were baptized, and she opened her home to the missionaries, urging them that they make it their home which they did. The evangelization of Europe had 'begun, in power and blessing. Paul was permitted and directed to do what hist heart longed "to preach the Gospel, not Christ was named, lest I build upon another man’s tion. But as it is written, To whom He was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” of God. to do—• where ‘ should founda- It Might W’k “If you met a burglar and had no weapons, what would do?” “Look daggers at him!” you you One day 80 in the shade. ♦ pleased with this superb September * « * • * * t • And how the weather can change, The next day 40. ****** The hum of the silo filler makes better music than the roar of bombing airplanes. * * * Why didn't Jack grade better at his last examination? ****** THURSDAY, OCTOBER M, 1»3« Anyone who hasn’t been weather must be hard to suit. * * ** * * ** About the biggest unkindness we can ster is to make things easy for him. • ♦***•• do for a husky young. * The road to' the mental hospital and the penitentiary and the poor house is paved with the wishes of those who fail to face up to the facts of existence. • •♦••••* And now we are assured of plenty of tomatoes and potatoes and carrots and beets and oh my, of everything else.

"We haven’t changed our pol­ icy!” said this statesman, and the obnoxious ones looked at what is written and then at British resources and character. They have been less talkative ever since. The old lion’s tail may be played with with comparative impunity; twisting matter. CONSTABLE SAVES FUNDS FOR COUNTY Goderich Officer Shows Economic Spirit that tail*'is another *******« CONGRATULATIONS, JUDGE Heartiest congratulations are extended to our townsman, J. G. Stanbury, K.C., on his elevetion to the bench. iMr. iStanbury is an exceptionally able lawyer whose learning and skill have stood the test of many a hard-fought legal contest. Many a litigant has come out on the winning side because he was selected as their counsel. As a cross-examiner Mr. Stanbury was hard to beat. On the other hand many a .person has been kept out of court because of heeding his advice. Exeter is losing, in his moving from us, an able lawyer. He will be greatly missed in church, 'circles, where he gave un- stintingly of his fine abilities and where his tact and diligence proved of inestimable value. He and his family will be greatly missed from local social circles .where they made scores and scores of friends. We are confident that this is but the beginning of good things in store for Mr. iStanbury. He carries with him to his new sphere of action our best wishes for himself and his family. STANBURY GODERICH —- County Constable Jack Ferguson is the sort of an of­ ficer of the law who believes that common sense and economy go hand in hand in the administration of jus­ tice. He received a long-distance tele­ phone message from Kitchener that the police of that city had arrested a 1'6-year-old boy, wanted here for bicycle stealing, Added information was that the boys mother also was at the police station. “Come down and get the lad,” the (Sergeant at Kitchener said. “Put the lad and his mother .on the bus and send them up here. Yes, I’ll take the responsiblity,” answer­ ed the Goderich officer. ■Constable Ferguson met the gave the mother some consoling vice and escorted his prisoner to county pail to await trial.

Everywhere re­ ports are coming in that alcohol is working day and night for the debasement not only of the young men of this country but for the ' debauching of our young womanhood. The day may not be far off when the sight on bur streets of drunken, maudlin, quarrelsome women will be as common as flies in August. Only those who have taken pains to inform themselves know how common liquor drink­ ing is among the women of this country. The alarming feature is that folk are inclined to smile about the situation. Parents excuse this conduct on the part of their children saying “(All the rest of the young people drink; why ask our daughter play wall-flower. We’ve seen a few of the victims of this alcoholism among wo­ men. Nothing could 'be more disgusting than such a sight. We’ve seem them in hospitals and rest homes. With these* spectacles in mind we congratulate The United Church in hitting this business as hard as ever it can. iiiiimi “MYRTLE” While I live, think only this of me; There is one true heart thAt is forever yours, Within that heart a richer faith concealed— The love that you inspired, Shaped, made aware, Asked for and sustained, Who truly gave once forever One true heart to love, Its perfume to inhale Its blossomed ways to roam. A faith unshaken, Breathing natural air Warmed bj’ love’s life-giving sunshine Bathed in its pure sweet dew. And think this thought All evil shed away; One pulse in the eternal heart Gave more than back The love you .gave; Your cheery smile, your voice Thoughts pure as dawn And gentle self-forgetfulness Two lives united, Beneath a star-lit heaven. SMALLER CROP, BETTER PRICE The ending of the harvesting sees the West with what is estimated to be the most valuable grain crop since 1929. The yield is the small­ est since 1919, but quality and price help to1 make up or scarcity. A survey of conditions made by the Winnipeg Free Press places the net value of this year’s Western, crops, including wheat, oats, barley, flax and rye, at $272,682,474. The estimated figures are: Wheat, $19 6,- 819,400; oats, $45,415,125; barley, $25,088,000; flax, $3,093,800; rye, $2^266,149. This total does not in­ clude farm revenue from other pro­ ducts, such as dairying, poultry, live stock, and so on. And, as noted in the Winnipeg’s paper’s survey, "it must also be remembered that prices of live stock are more satisfactory, cattle prices are steadier year, and hog prices are higher.” In 1930, with a wheat 396,000,000 'bushels, the monentary return from all grains was $252,- 543,000. The estimated wheat yield this year is 178,50^0,000 bushels less, and some of the other grains are down correspondingly. The differ­ ence in values of the two crop indi­ cates the tremendous improvement in price per bushel,—^Toronto Globe. “Primrose” The West Huron Teachers’ tute will be held in Victoria School, Goderich, on Thursday and Friday, October 8th and 9th. There will be morning and afternoon sessions each day, with addresses by several visit­ ing speakers as well as by members of the association. Miss I. Kirk, of Exeter, is president of the West Huron Teachers* Association and Mr. R. Stonehouse, of Goderich, is secretary-treasurer. BURIED AT GRANTON The funeral of the late Mrs. Chas- Fitzgerald was held from the resi­ dence of her daughter, Mrs. Ephriam Summerville, of the eighth conces­ sion of Blanshard, Rev. Mr. Harvey, of Granton, assisted by Rev. John Thompson, conducted the service. Mrs. Fitzgerald was Miss Mary Eli­ zabeth Patrick, of London Township daughter of George and Elitia Pat­ rick. She was in her 71st year and well known taking a deep interest in church and institute work. She i% survived by her husband, one son, George, London Township, and two daughters Mrs. R. M. Sumerville, of Blanshard and Mrs. Ephraim Sum­ merville, Blanshard. Interment took place in Granton cemetery. GODERICH PLAN REUNION By an unanimous standing vote, a largely attended citizens’ meeting called by Mayor H. J. A. McEwan voted to hold an old home week in­ Goderich next year. The date was left open, to be fixed by the new exe­ cutive, ibut it will probably be held early in August. Every one of the 20 odd citizens, representing a cross section of interests, spoke strongly in favor of the •project. It will be 10 years since the old boys and girls of Goderich gathered to celebrate the town’s centenary, and it was a. highly successful celebration. > than last Lamport Reunion The fifth annual Lamport Re­ union was held at Denfield School on Labor Day, with 138 members from (London, Exeter, Crediton, Chatham, Forest, IStrathroy, Brus­ sels and various Michigan points re­ gistering.
