What does Wingham boast of today? So don't be too hard on the early cit- izens of the town who could not have foretold the coming of the _horseless carriage. Apropos of Mother Shipton's prop- hesies, she said, The world then to an end shall come In /eighteen hundred and eighty-one, This latter prophesy reminded me of a body of religious fanatics that resided here years before 1881, Their headquarters was a house on Edward street between Victoria and John. The Saviour was to appear during a certain night. Some of the more anx- ious to meet their Lord went to Lis- 1 'towel to accompany Him to Wingham on the late train. They returned some- what chagrined, but joined with the others of their belief in praying, sing- ing, shouting and calling to high heaven for the Lord to come, much to the annoyance and disturbance of all ;the neighbors. But morning came, the sun started to shine and things in this old world went along the same as ever. , Some persons even went so far as to }give away their farms and other wor- ldly possessions, as if the end of the world was only coming to those who believed in their peculiar doctrine.
