The teacher was attempting to explain to her class the meaning of the word “faith”. ' “Children,” she said, “what are these two objects?” “A peanut and a' cup," they replied. “Good,” said the teacher. “Now watch carefully what J do.” She placed the peanut under the cup, “Now, children, how many of you can see the peanut is under the cup?” Every hand was* raised. “Fine, now you see what I am trying to tell you. When you believe something you cannot see, that is faith.” After a moment ued. “Bill, faith is?” “Faith,” nut under On Display At Exeter Farm Equipment (Snell Bros.

Among them we must place Dr. "Wilfred Grenfell of Labrador and the Moody. When Annie S. most outstanding Christians she had met, she put the American merchant, Howard Heinz, (of the fifty-seven varieties) right in the foreground. She wrote; “Never ,was wealth more wisely used and distributed than in the case of Howard Heinz. He was abso­ lutely tireless in well-do in g. Without doubt he was one of the best men I have ever known. He had high ideals and. he car­ ried them out in his life.” Great Britain has always had a fine body of laymen whose de­ votion to Christian ideals has been a source of strength to the nation. There was Sir George Williams” founder of the Young Men’s Christian Assoc. He be­ came one of the world’s merchant princes, yet, never at any time, did he fail to put his Christian principles above everything else. He was one of the first mer­ chants to introduce a daily relig­ ious service in his factory for the employees. Wm. Lever, later Lord Levei- hulme, held many important po­ sitions in the church to which, he belonged and he will always be remembered, not so much as the world’s greatest soap manufac­ turer, as the man who built Port Sunlight, a town near Liverpool, where the system of profit shar­ ing with his employees made it possible to have a town far in advance of anything known up till that time. The great mer­ chant has passed on but today 25,000 employees are co-partners in the firm and owner’s idea of ianity. Both Canada States have had tives of high standards of Christ­ ian living by laymen. When Tim­ othy Eaton died in January 1007, one of Canada’s leading news­ papers said: “Mr. Eaton has shown that a successful business man can be good, clean, one might say, holy. His was a beau­ tiful life and he will long be mourned and never be forgot­ ten.” The U.S. merchant, John Wan- namaker, was one of the most widely known churchmen of his generation and superintendent of a large Sunday School in Phil­ adelphia for over forty years. At the World’s .Sunday School Con­ vention which met in Tokyo in 1920, he was signally honoured by workers the world over. George Peabody was another American business man whose service to the Christian Church was such that ‘after his death a memorial service was held for liim in Westminster Abbey and the preacher, Dr. Newman Hall said: “George Peabody derived greater satisfaction from scatter­ ing his possessions among the needy than augmenting his store. William E. Dodge and Arthur Nash were men made good but used equally in spiritual sense, these mentioned chosen, not because they were so much better than other lay­ men, but because their records are so well-known. There probably isn’t a town or village or rural c o m m u n i t y throughout the length and breadth of this country that has not known men whose out-and- out devotion to Christian living- blessed the ‘community. Recently the essayist and phil­ osopher, Dr. Sherwood Eddy, surveyed his life in a hook, en­ titled, “A Pilgrimage of Ideas”. He made a list of the men and women who had impressed him most favourably. It is too long to quote here but that group was about ninety per cent made up of laymen: those who in spite of business cares and other distrac­ tions, had put God first. And if there are saints in business, there must be farmers and min­ ers and labourers of every kind. And what about saints in the kitchen? That subject deserves a chapter of its own. ■Our quotation today is by Thomas Kempis: “Seek not much rest hut much patience.” Herman mer,* Joan and Jane of Ayr ed on Sunday with Mr. and Mr. ' Victor Jeffery. * Mr. arid Mrs. Charles Miller and Lily, Mr. Miller Sr. of Exe­ ter visited on Sunday with and Mrs. Edwin Miller.

Shower For Miss Lois Pym A miscellaneous shower was given by the Mission Circle, friends and relatives in the base­ ment of the church on Friday ' evening in honour of Miss Lois Pym, bride-elect of Saturday. The basement of the church was tastefully decorated for the oc­ casion. After a short program Lois was presented with many useful gifts. Lois thanked the ladles in her pleasing manner.
