ST, ANDREW’S CHURCH
HELD ANNIVERSARY
SERVICES SUNDAY
Rev. Dallas Cameron, of Strathroy,
Preached Both Morning and Evening
Large congregations were present
at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
on Sunday for the Anniverysary Ser
vices. The Church was beautifully
decorated with autumn flowers. The
special speaker was Rev. Dallas Cam
eron of Strathroy, Moderator of the
Synod of Hamilton and London.
At the morning service, Mr. Cam
eron chose for his Scripture reading
the first chapter of Hebrews and en
titled his sermon "The Unused Book”
taking his text from Hebrews, chapter
1, verses 1 and 2, “God, who at sund
ry times and in divers manners spake
in time past unto the fathers of the
prophets, Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by His Son, whom
he hath appointed heir of all things,
by 'whom also he made the world.’’
God speaks to us in many ways, the
coming of the seasons, the flowers of
spring, the growth in the fields. God
had spoken through the Bible in man’s
own language. It is God’s Book and
it is man’s book and is applicable to
all ages. God Revelation is*progress
ive. The Bible is the greatest of all
books because of the truth it reveals
and. the person it represents. If we
.all were Christians he said, there
would be no more wars or rumors of
wars. The Bible without Christ would
be only spiritual literature but with
God. it is a living book. For two
thousand years the Bible has with
stood all the criticism and is greater
than ever and without the Bible hum
anity would be like a lost child. Sci
ence changes with the years but the
Bible is always the same. The Bible
has been supreme in the life of our
greatest people.
The ch oil’ sang

Soul” and “Go Not
At the evening service Mr. Cam
eron read the Scripture lesson from
the 10th chapter of Luke, commenc
ing at the 25th verse. Rev. J. F. And
erson of the United Church, lead in
the prayer.
"Back to God” was the title of the
sermon and the text was the 27th
verse of the 10th chapter of Luke,
“And he answering said, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God, with all thy
heart, and will all thy soul, and with
all thy strength, and with all thy
mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.”
War is hovering over Europe because
largely those' nations have forsaken
God. Christ compressed four com
mandments into text. The need of the
world today is faith in the living God.
The spirit controls the man. Every
thing with which man deals is mys
terious . We are surrounded with

REVIVAL CAMPAIGN
AT CITY MISSION
A three-week Revival Campaign is
in progress at the City Mission and
already one week has passed into his
tory. Evangelist L. Sider, graduate
of Lome Park College, is a young
man who is a forceful preacher, and
presents old truths in a new and strik
ing manner.
The campaign opened Monday ev
ening, October 5th, with a searching
sermon on the subject "If Jesus
Were Here?” climaxing in the great
truth that Jesus is here in the person
of the Holy Spirit. Tuesday evening,
"Achan, the man who had a secret
sin and paid the penalty.” Wednes
day, "The Suffering Christ," based
upon Isaiah, the 53rd chapter. Every
form of suffering was His, but the
greatest was the suffering for sin.
Thursday evening was the beginning
of a series "The Cure for the Curse.”
Man’s efforts to save himself are a
failure. Friday evening “The New
Birth" God’s way of breaking the
curse was presented. Sunday after-
nooh "The Cleansed Life" based on
Romans 12: 1, was the subject of an
address directed particularly to Chris
tians. The Sunday evening subject,
"The Curse .Lilted’ ’was one in. which
the divine, method of lifting the curse
was beautifully presented and cultim-
inated in a description of heaven,
where there shall be no more curses.
There is a growing interest in these
revival services, this being clearly evi
denced in the tittttiber of people at
tending the Sunday services,

preaching and special songs,

OBITUARY
and
William H. Davidson
With the passing of William Henry
Davidson, on Monday, Oct. 12th,
Wingham lost another of her older
residents. Mr. Davidson had been
confined to his home, Maple Street,
for the past three months but prior
to that was in poor health for about
l¥s years. The deceased was a well
know and highly respected citizen
as for a great many years he carried
on business in this town arid district.
He was in his 77th year and was
born in Goderich Township and when
3 years old moved with his parents,
the late Robert and Annie Davidson !
to the 10th concession of Turnberry.
Following tne death of his father the
family moved into Wingham. After
his marriage to Annie Gray in 1888
they moved to Marquette, Mich.,
where he conducted a livery business
for five years. Returning to Wing
ham he conducted a well drilling bus
iness, but for the last 20 years has
been engaged in the implement bus
iness. Last December he disposed
.of this business on account
health.
He was a member of the
Church,‘the C.O.O.F. and in
was a staunch Conservative.
Besides his wife he is survived by
one son, Fred L. Davidson at present
Reeve of Wingham and one daughter,
Mrs. H. O. (Sadie) Stevens of Mont
real. He is also survived by three
brothers, Isaac of Detroit; Gilbert of
Sault St. Marie and Thomas, La I’ere,
Ill. Two grandsons survive him, Gor
don and William Davidson, both of
town.
The funeral will be held from his
late residence at 2 p.m. on Thursday,
October 15th. The service will
conducted by Rev. J. F. Anderson.
Interment in Winghani cemetery.
In spite of last year’s Canada Tem
perance Act ruling by the Supreme
Court of Canada, Premier Hepburn
announced that his Government is go
ing to administer the Liquor Control
Act in the C.T.A. Counties of Peel,
Perth and Huron.
The decision is based on the Peel
County Court judgment of last winter
which said that the C.T.A. is ultra
vires of the Dominion.
“Since there has been no appeal
from this decision,” said Mr. Hepburn
“the judgment stands, and we will
base our course of action on it. We
are administering the L.C.A. in .those
three counties and will continue to do
so.”
At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Perth, Huron and Peel
Temperance Federations at Stratford
last week, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
"The Premier of Ontario’has intim
ated in the press that the government
is proposing to withdraw’ the appeal
that the" government of Ontario has
taken to the Privy Council from the
decision 61 the Supreme Court of
Canada in the matter of the Canada
Temperance Act as touching the
Counties of Huron, Perth and Peel.
This gathering officially representing
the temperance executives of the three
counties would remind the Premier
that the decision of the Supreme
Court of Canada makes the Ontario
Temperance Act law in the Counties
of Huron, Perth and Peel, and that
no Premier is competent under the
constitution of Canada to ignore or
violate any law of the land which, as
we understand, he is bound by his
oath of office to enforce.
“We therefore respectfully request
the Premier of Ontario to withdraw
the existing authorities ■ (beverage
room licenses) in Huron and Perth
and to see that the Canada Temper
ance Act and the Liquor Control Act
are enforced in the said counties, as
formerly.”
The closing meeting of the conven
tion of the Young People’s Union of
the London Conference of the United:
Church took the form of a rally of
the Huron Presbytery Young People’s
societies in Wesley Willis United
Church, Clinton, on Sunday evening.
The pastor had associated with him
Miss Evelyn Dane, of Gorrie, past
president, and Geo. Taylor, of East
Wawanosh, President of the Presby
tery Y.P.U., who conducted the ser
vice. Miss Gladys Addison, Clinton,
read the lesson and Miss Melva.
Brown, of Brantford, gave an address
on “Christian Youth in Action.” '
officers of the Presbytery Y.P.U.
1936-37 were installed by Rev. C.

On Monday night and Tuesday

week-end was cold and we had our
first snow of the. season. A little snow
fell Sunday night and a few flakes

timers talking about early winters of
yester years, Mt. Andrew McDougall

Sth. Winter set in and a heavy snow
fall of that day covered the ground
to a gre^tt depth and remained until
the next spring. Potatoes and roots
which had not been harvested at that
time remained in the ground over the
winter.
