HAND BLOWN OFF WHEN DYNAMITE EXPLODES Everett Stebbins, aged 26, of Grand Bend, had his left hand’ blown off just above the wrist late Monday af­ ternoon when a stick of dynamite he was using exploded. He was treat­ ed by Dr. Fletcher and was taken to Victoria Hospital, London, where his condition is reported as satisfac­ tory. The young man is a son of Reuben (Stebbins, Pine Ridge Road. He was accompanied by Stacey Hut­ chison and Lawrence Wilson, of Parkhill, when the accident occurr­ ed. He was holding the stick of dynamite when it exploded and sev­ ered the hand and blew it to ibits. It also blew out part of the left eye and. the left side of the body was riddled from head to foot with small holes, apparently made by the pow­ der. iStacey Hutchison, .who- was close by had his clothing riddled with small holes small parts of Stebbins’ hand going through his clothing. Lawrence Wilson suffered a few scars on the leg below the knee. One of the men took off his necktie and used it to form a tornique to stop the flow of blood from the wounds in Stebbins’ arm otherwise the young man would have bled to death before medical assistance had been secured.

There was a large attendance of delegates, Rev. A, V, Robb, of Bluevale, was elected chairman of Presbytery for the ensuing year. .Settlement Com­ mittee, Rev, C. W. D. Cozens, of Clinton and Rev.

Mr.and Tuesday in the Hospital was suc- doing as M. The were Ker- and Members of the Exeter Lodge No. 67 I.O.O.F. together with visiting Brethren from Seaforth and Hensall attended divine service in Caven Presbyterian Church on Sunday ev­ ening. Owing to the wet weather the members motored from the hall to the church where they occupied the centre pews. There was a large attendance. , iSpecial music was fur­ nished by the choir. A solo was sung by Mr. Arthur Middlemiss. Rev. D. C. Hill, a member of the craft, preached an exceptionally fine ser­ mon taking for his text St. Luke 1'0: 29 “And who is my neighbor." He said that it was a matter of common knowledge that the story of David and Jonathan in the old -testament and the parable of the Good Samari­ tan in the new testament both have some (connection with the work of this order. He proposed to set the story and the parable side by side that his hearers might see the rela­ tionship between the is complete in itself, ment story needs the parable for its crown. The story of David and Jonathan pictures for us friendship at its .high­ est and best, a friendship so close that it can only be described in the words of scripture “The soul of Jon­ athan was knit with the soul of Dav­ id.” The hero was Jonathan, who was called scrifice for the ship. -He could have David as the one who stood in the way of his advancement to glory an’d honor. He gives us the greatest of all examples of loyalty to a friend at nost tO' himself. Turn to the parable of the Good Samaritan. The Samaritan and the wounded traveller were not friends. There was hostility between the two races. The glory of the Samaritan is that he showed compassion on one whom he might pardonably have looked upon as an enemy. Now let -us set the story and the parable together,,.said the preacher, and we shall see that they teach us ■respectfully how we should act to­ wards friends and how we should act towards those who are quite outside the circle of friends and the ibond of friendship. ■Old Testament morality teaches us that we 'have a duty to c?ur friends and nowhere is that duty better ex­ emplified than in the story of David and .Jonathan. But we cannot stop there. iSince the parable of the Good Samaritan men have had to face up to the fact that not only (have they a duty to their friends, tout also .have they a duty to those who by no stretch of the imagination can be called their friends. Since Jesus spoke that parable it has been impossible to stop with the story of David and Jonathan. The speaker referred to the friendship between men in the East, where boys associate with boys only. It is more than a casual companion­ ship. It is a bond stronger than any othei’ bond known among men. Only a bond between a man and his God can surpass it. The great draw­ back of the world before Christ that it stopped when it reached ideal of a fine loyalty within bounds of friendship. It had ideals for our dealings with strang­ ers and enemies. >So we cannot believe that when we have learned the lesson of loyal­ ty to our friends we have reached a satisfactory stopping place. We must advance ibeyond the moral teaching of the Old Testament to the fuller and richer teaching of Christianity as set forth in the New Testament. We moist take up an attitude to those who are not our friends; to those to’ whom we are not attached by any ties of intimacy, to the whole body of the men and women who make up the social whole good, bad or indifferent and all degrees of kindliness and animosity. The conduct of the Good Samar­ itan represents the Christian ideal of what our attitude should be, even to those who are Separated from us by many barriers, and who in all probability cherish no warm feelings for 'us. Wherever there is a need there is a call for our good offices; wherever we can lend a helping hand it is incumbent upon us to do so. The call of neighborliness comes to us whenever or wherever we see Suf­ fering, distress, or injustice that can be alleviated. Christians may apply these thoughts but they are particu­ larly applicable to the fraternal or­ der gathered here. Unless your or­ ganization serves to strengthen and cement friendship- within your own members then it is serving no useful purpose. True friendship Is a thing of beauty and its own justification, tt is generally admitted, that most lodges achieve at least some Sttccess along this line. But the criticism is sometimes offered that these mark * (Continued on Page Four) DEATH FOLLOWS STROKE Mrs. Sarah Jane Kyle, a resident of Exeter for the past 36 years, suf­ fered a paralytic stroke early Mon­ day morning and she passed away the same evening. When Mr. Sidney Davis who has been in the habit of taking Mrs. Kyle her morning mail, called at the home Monday morning he was unable to get any response and calling some neighbors entrance was made to the house and Mrs. Kyle was found lying upon the kit­ chen floor suffering from a stroke.

The fire was checked in the upper floor but water poured through the large stock on the main floor. The fire broke out about 8 p.m. in the storage sec­ tion on the second floor of the two- storey brick building. Orville Sholtz, who was passing, saw smoke coming from upper windows and called fire­ men. George Edighoffer was work­ ing in the office at the rear of the first floor at the time, unaware of the outbreak. Directed by Eire Chief Walter Bennett, the fire brig­ ade soon checked the blaze but wat­ er poured through the floors onto the stock below. Examination after the flames were extinguished show­ ed that the origin of the tire was in a pile of brooms in storage, but what started it remained unknown. There was water damage to clothing and groceries through much Of the main floor and both fire and water dam­ age in the second floor storage de* partment. Credit was given the fire'* meh for their prompt work, Other* wise everything would have burned to the ground.
