Italy is step by step reviving the

pected to be heard in May.
The action, Mr. Conant said, is
ing taken as the result of recent
presentations made by the Ontario
Temperance Federation. “This ques
tion has been kicked about for a long
time,” he said in making the an
nouncement, “We want finality on
it.”
In the event of the Court of Ap
peals holding the C.T.A. still consti
tutionally applicable to those sections
of Ontario where it first was applied,
it would mean, it was believed, that
the Ontario Liquor Control Act
would have no further jurisdiction
insofar as those areas are concerned.
The Canad Temperance Act passed
out of general operation in Ontario
in 1889. It was applicable to counties
as a whole. It was again taken up
by the counties of Peel, Huron and
Perth in 1914 and 1915.
BOYS’ BAND TO
BE ORGANIZED
Attending Course at Sarnia
Misses Marion Mason and Betty
Collar are taking a three months’
course in Household Science at
Sarnia.
Bandmaster G. A. Schatte is very
anxious to organize a Boys’ Band. To
do this it will be necessary to have
the co-operation of the parents. At
present, the idea is this. Instruments
may be purchased on an easy-pay-
ment plan so that all boys who are
desirous of joining will have an op
portunity to participate. Mr. Schatte
will give the boys free tuition. The
practices will be held after four p.m.
Will the parents please get in touch
with Mr. Schatte or have their boy
do so. Instruments will be on display
in the Advance-Times office window
toward the end of this week.
Beginning his ministry in St, I’aul’s
Church on Sunday, Rev. E. O. GalL
agher, in a somewhat informal talk,
discussed with the congregation some
of the principals for •which he hoped,
they would stand.
After thanking the people for their
kindly welcome of himself and family
he pointed out that True Leadership
does not draw people to the leader
only, it must draw them past the lead
er to the cause. It is the cause that
counts.
We are to stand for Christianity as
a universal religion. Nothing matters
except living faith in Christ of the
kind that transforms the man so that
the Spirit of Christ lives in him. This
must be a firm uncompromising
stand.
We will stand for Christian liber
ty. Jesus Christ, the church He
founded and the things He stood for
are the centre and sum of Christian
ity. Why can not we gather people
around that common purpose and let
them think as they will about their
theology. We ourselves do not wear
a theological complexion.
We will stand for an exclusive
church. I dream of a church where
those who are liturgically-minded
may have all the symbolism they
crave.
Where those who are congregation-
ally-minded may hear the preaching
of God’s Word. And where the Quak
ers who like, a reposeful silence where
the whisper of God is heard in the
stillness may have their form of wor
ship, too. Why not?
We stand for the abiding verities
and experiences of the Gospel. We
will proclaim the reality of the., living
God, the Saviourhood of Christ and
the available energies of the Spirit.
