STEPHEN’S CHURCH WOMEN^SAUXILIARY Rev. Mr. O’Neil Gave Splendid Adress 1 The regular meeting of the Wom­ an’s Auxiliary met at the home of Mrs. James Musgrove on Thursday afternoon last, the president, Mrs. Holmes presiding, and a good attend­ ance present. The ladies worked dur­ ing the afternoon preparing a quilt. Mrs. Armstrong gave a reading, “A message of Archbishop Matheson” telling of the rapid growth of the W. A. which he believes due to pray­ er and the varied and astonishing wide contributions made by the W. A. to the Indian’s sind Eskimo Mis­ sions and school's of the Western Provinces. Mrs. O’Neil gave a read-' ing on "The prayer that was answer­ ed” atid Mrs. Holmes also gave a helpful ‘reading. Rev. O’Neil opened the meeting with prayer followed by Roll Call, to which each member re­ sponded by a verse of Scripture per­ taining to the word "faith”.

GORRIE DROPPED GAME TO LISTOWEL Twice Gorrie Were in the Lead but Could Not Hold It. By 10 goals to 6, Listowel’s W. O. H. A. entry defeated Gorrie last Fri­ day night. A large crowd saw one of the best games of the season, and though the visitors had the big end of the score, the locals were not out­ played. Listowel had to hustle to win and it was better stickhandling around the net that gave them victory. Gorrie started off with Steuernol in goal, S. Ashton and McKee David­ son on defence, the starting front line composed of Howard Legett, Leland Ashton and'C. Edwards; while Hig­ gins, Gibson, McTavish and Paulin were alternating forwards. The home team uncorked a teal scoring punch in the first five minutes of play, when two goals were scored, Davidson be­ ing the,key,man in two fine rushes. The first period finished 2-1 for Gorrie and the home fans were real happy. Loose play by the locals in the second chapter soon gave Listowel the lead 4-2 against them, Gorrie settled down and bulged the twine three times to give them the lead once more. Howard Gcgett was a stand­ out performer in this period and was responsible for putting his team in front again, But Gorrie couldn’t stand younger brother.” And thus a long line of clues has definitely established Oliver Jordan’s home and family.

TIMOTHY STILL HAS COURAGE To the Edttur av all thim Wingham paypers.

Misther King-is loike the nursery-roime about the ould woman who lived in a shoe who had so manny childer she didn?t know what to do. Some -av our byes same to hew losht heart since lasht October, but,' shure, they shud always remimber that the hoigher annyting roises the furder is has to fall, an jist watch an see thim Grits drop whin the nixt elickshun comes. ’Tis an ould sayin,. an a thrue wan, that if ye put a beg­ gar on harseback he will roide to dde- struckshun, .arr a wurse place, that it wudden’t be polite to minshun in a noice family payper loike the Ad- vance-Toimes. Mebby Mishter King is a purty daycint bye himilf, but tink av the crowd he has wid him. Shure, no skipper wud want to put out to say wid a crew made up av a lot av fel­ lahs, iviry wan av thim tinkin that mebby he knows betther than the captain how to shteer1 the ship. If Mishter King don’t hev to put some av; thim byes av his in irons, an sit thim in the back sates befoor the ind av the voyage, I miss me guess. Mish­ ter Binnit had to' do it wid somejiv his crowd, an aven at that Mishter Stevens shtarted a mutiny aboard the Tory ship, an nearly wrecked it. In Ontario we do be figgerin out who wud be the besht laider to pick, in ordher to thrim Mishter Hipburn. I don’t tink it makes so much differ who is the laider, as what is the’ pol- ishy.
