SANDERS & CREECH
ON CHARITY
Could ,not Exeter support something
in the way of a charity organization?
There are many business inen,p rafes-
sional men and others, who from Lime
to time find themselves over stocked
with clothes, that have perhaps be -
conte a little out of date or slightly
worn, They do not want to destroy
then, but, find it inconvenient to have
thein given to deserving •people. Per-
haps an organization could be formed
to devise some method of handling
clothes of this description; Probably
if such were done one or two clays
a month might be set 'aside for the
collection caul distribution of clothes.
In the meantime deserving cases could
be reported to the officers of the
organization and a good ttiork` could
be done. . Ve have s ctetrasand
as-
sociations galore belt not one of them
seems to be doing a work • of .this kind
which to .our mind could be made of.
great benefit to the community. We
have in 'mind' 't case of recent ,,late
where a man found himself in nose-'
ession of a quantity of wearing ap-
parel which he wished :td see placed
with needy people. He reported the
matter to us and after some enquiry.
the goods were well placed, and ev-
erybody was happy,
Every one of the 46 municipalities
in Ontario now using hydro anergy
has reported a surplus for the past
.nine months. The smallest surplus
was 10 per cent. and the largest 52
per cent.
The flour millsby-law to guarantee
$50,000 bonds of a company' was
again voted on in St. Marys Monday
and defeated on a two-thirds vote, by
a majority of 57. There was much
bitterness shown in the contest and
many voters were sworn.

The Rt Rev. D. Williams, D. 0.,
the Bishop of Huron, administered the
rite of Confirmation to a class of
young ladies, prepared and presented
by the Rector Rev. D. W. Collins,
in the Trivitt Memorial Church Sun-
day morning at the 'a.m. service.
In introducing the subject the
preacher reviewed the circumstances
under which the text was given. Our
Lord had just commissioned *he
apostles and sent them out. They
were called to high office, and, endur-
ing honor • What words had Christ
for the disciples, who remained at
home, and incidentally to all the sum-
bee workers in every age of the Chris -
tiara church ?
In beautiful language the sympathy
of Christ was shown with those oc-
cupying a lowly and subordinate pos-
ition. "The ” widow and the Levi
mites the giving of a cup of cold
water etc,” •Sympathy with a cause
would determine the reward. ,Not
what we have done, but what we
would do it we had the opportunity
In common law the receiver of stolen
goads, knowing them to be stolen, is
equally .guilty with the actual offend-
er. So ill connection' with great mov-
rnents of nations, the work of proph-
ets,, statesmen, leaders and philan-
tliropists. The sympathy of the fol
lowers enabled: them to perpetuate fol -,
the ultimate rewards. •
In striking . language the Bishop
showed how this view of Christ's es-
timate affected: our faith;; the for-
Hiveness of sins; the work of the
oly spirit.
Sympathy with Christ, and sympa-
thy with his work, in other words un-
ion with Christ,. or .quote St. Paul's
favorite expression, :"In Christ," de-
termined our faith, made the forgive-
ness of sins a realizedpossibility and
enabled the ,spirit of God to oper-
ate in our. lives,
The congregation, which was .a very
large one •fully appreciated the ser -
moil and will long remember the visit
of this "Father in God."
A full choral service was rendered
by a large choir, the newly confirm-
ed candidates will partake of. their
first Communion next. Sunday, Ad-
