Joseph Carruthers, aged 42, of near Parkhill, escaped with hi^ life Thursday afternoon of last week when he was dragged from a burn ing car in an automobile accident which took place on the highway neai’ Centralia. Miss Willa Culbert of Lucan, the first to arrive upon the scene after the accident, found Mr. Carruthers in an unconscious condition partly through the rear window of his ditched and blazing automobile.

As the car apparently rol led end over end the driver was pitched over the front seat and part ially through the rear window. Miss Culbert, on reaching the scene • of the accident, switched off the motor of the ditched machine, which was still running and hauled the injured man from the car. Had there been no automobile passing for any length of time the man might have perished in the flames. Dr. Dun lop, of town, was called and remov ed Mr. Carruthers to St. Joseph’s ORGANIZE EASTERN STAR Mr. Harold Kitchen, of London, Worthy Grand Patron of the Order of the Eastern Star, visited Exeter on the evening of Friday, September 2nd for the purpose of organizing a Chapter of that Order.

In no field has there been a change so critical as in the field of moral philosophy. Queen Victoria was on the throne when the first stones were laid here, hand swayed the races throughout Victorian age was There was a right wrong. It was an age that had seen, men ridicule the piety of the church and of others who would reunite its goodness. When these walla were built it was as it were, the Indian Summer of the Victorian Age. There were giants in the land and they built such monuments as this. But what of the new generation. Our generation seemed to assume that if we could do our work a little easier, with trains going fifty miles an hour instead of twenty, that we were nearer the Kingdom of God. It was an evil day when these walls saw this generation throw overboard the doctrines of the Victorian Age; when we laughed at the age of faith. Did ever a generation suffer more for its mistakes than ours? An age in which there was more bloodshed, more sorrow and more suffering than in any other generation. How long, o God, how long must we pay the price of folly that wo are called on to pay? The world, I may say in all sincerity and hon esty, Is turning back toward God. We are witnessing the end of a ter rible nightmare and a wish something better.
