which included the final payment of
the X-Ray which left a net balance
of $6.28.

ed, cost over $2000. The final pay
ment of $77.66, passed at this meet

Promise
of Easter
Once more the whole world rejoic
es in the return of Spring and the re
surrection of the earth from its win
ter death. This ancient festival, cele
brated from the earliest times by all
inhabitants of the northern hemi
sphere, has a special significance for
Christians, since the early Church
apoted it as the occasion on which to
celebrate the resurrection of Christ
after His crucifixion. But the same
return of Spring was the great an
nual
ands
era.
with
Passover, which itself derives from
the primitive universal rejoicing over
the rebirth of life as evidenced by
•the return of all green growing things
and the bringing forth of their young
by the beasts of the‘forest and fields.
There is no mention in Scriptures
of Easter as a special day of cele
bration, nor of any other holy day.
But the fathers who' built up the
church founded upon the teachings of
Christ wisely encouraged the pagan
peoples whom they sought to win to
the new religion to retain their an
cient traditional festivals, adding to
them a new significance and’symbol
ism. Thus it came about that the old
festival of Easter, the Anglo-Saxon
goddess of Spring, came to be, as an
early church historian wrote, “observ
ed with the gladness of a new solem
nity,” and the old name has become
the English name for the festival
'which in other languages has a name
derived Jroin the Jewish passover.
The Germans call if “Pass” the
French “Paques”, the Italians “Pas-
qua” and the Welsh “Pasg”. .But in
all languages it signifies the most sac
red and the most joyful of Christian
■festivals.
The significance of Easter is the
hope and promise which the resurrec
tion of Our Lord holds for everyone,
of eternal life for the human soul and
spirit. Just as the return of the sun
from its winter hibernation in the
South has brought to all peoples in
all times promise and
life does not end when
er and trees shed their
advent of Winter, but
manifest itself afresh in new forms,
so the Resurrection of Christ is a
pledge to every faithful believer in
Him that they, too, shall not perish
but shall have everlasting life.
Ladies’ Liberal Association
Will meet in the Council Chamber
at 8 p.m. this Thursday.
Held Successful Tea

The regular meeting of the Y.P.U.

unison. The Worship period was in

Ruth Wheeler in charge. The hymn
“When I survey the wondrous Cross”
Was sung and Hazel Wilson led in

the Study Book was conducted by
Tena Reid. The topic on “The How
of Missions” was given by Jean Zur-
brigg. Margaret Mason favored with
a. solo and the Pilgrim group conduct

lunch. The Friendship Circle was

EXPLOSION BLEW
BRICKS OFF CHIMNEY
When W. R. Hamilton put some
turpentine in the stove at his store
on Friday morning to hurry along a
fire that was tardy, he got a sudden
surprise. The chimney apparently was
partially blocked and the gas collected
there exploded when the turpentine
had been applied to the fire. Some
bricks were knocked off the chimney
but the back-fire of the explosion on
ly raised the lid on the stove. The re
port of the explosion was quite loud
and could be heard well down main
street.
Since it had a shaking up the chim
ney has been drawing wonderfully,
something it did not do before.

Pat was told by his lawyer that his
best course was to plead guilty to
the charge against him.
He stepped into the dock with a
determined air, and when asked by
the judge if he pleaded guilty or not
guilty, replied with vim: “Guilty, me
lord, an’ I’ve witnesses here to prove
it.”
ATTENTION — HURON
COUNTY FARMERS
We wish at this time to draw your
attention to a series of farmers’ meet
ings which will be held in the Coun
ty from Marsh 23rd to April 7th in
clusive. Three meetings have already
been held and the others are as fol
lows :
Thursday, March 25th, 2,00 P.M.,
Foresters’ Hall, Auburn.
Friday, March 26th, 2 P.M., Hur
lock School.
Wednesday, March 31st, 2 P.M.,
St. Joseph Church Basement, Kings
bridge.
Friday, April 2nd, 2 P.M., Agricul
tural Hall, Dungannon.
Monday, April 5th, 2 P.M., Forest
ers’ Hall, Belgrave.
Tuesday, April 6th, 2 P.M., Town
ship Hall, Wroxeter.
Wednesday, April 7th, 2 P.M.,
Township Hall, Ethel.
The above meetings will be ad
dressed by Dr. Lionel Stevenson, of
the staff of the Ontario Veterinary
College at Guelph. Dr. Stevenson
will speak on two subjects, Contag
ious Abortion and Mineral Deficiency
Disease. Both these subjects should
be of real interest to every farmer
in the County, as we must admit that
Contagious Abortion is causing con
siderable financial loss to farmers in
this County. During the last few
years farmers have had some exper
ience with mineral deficiencies and
we are quite sure that yott will wel
come an opportunity of hearing an
authority .discuss these two condi-.
tions.
Nine meetings of a similar nature
were held in the County last year and
so much interest was created that the
members of the Advisory Agricultur
al Council requested the Agricultural
Representative to arrange for ten ad
ditional meetings this yean The Hur
on County Couhcil at the January
Session heartily endorsed this recom
mendation from the Advisory Agri
cultural Council.
Every farmer in the County should
plan to attend one of these meetings,
As it is impossible to reach every
one by letter, we would consider it
a favour if you would advise yottf
neighbours about these meetings.
