THE NEW PASTOR,
Rev \L J. Wilson, the,new pastor
occupied his eulpit in James Street
Methodist church on Sunday last
for the first time ,and was greeted by
large congregations, He has a pleas-
ant and engaging manner in the pulpit,
his sermons showed scholarship and
study_ artd were well received. In the
evening he took his text from three
places in the Bible, the title. of the
sermon being, "The Stature :of man
in Jesus Christ", He pictured the Jit-
tleness of man, as an individualand
showed his great possibilities when he
allowed the plan as laid down by the
creator., He spoke feelingly of the
compulsions of man. It makes a great
daffereuce where a man is born, in
what country, in what climate, in what
age ire what environment. The poss-
ibilities`and requirements are so much
greater of a man born and, raised! in
a tersder...home, an a civilized country
Band under Christian, susr'oundi igs.
This difference ,gives us one of aur
strangest reasions for a true brother-
hood, a Christian forbearralnce and a
strong missionary spirit. The minister
pointed out four laws 'in connection
with : the building of manhood.: First
is Discover yourself by finding out
your capabilities and possibilities sof
service •and attainment of character,
Second .isthe law of Plan. Every
thing that is done well has a plant The
better the plan the better the work.
Too many of us fail to plans fox char-
acter Weelet it grow up haphazard.
We cannot afford to have less than
the beet plan with ,our talents. We
must dethrone all bad habits, not just
drivethemi back a little, 'Take noth-
ing':less then Jesus Christ for your
ideal Third, the ,slaw of Increase
What you ,give you get. What you
sow you reap. Russia was given for
200 years cruelty and ignorance, and
that unfortunate country Is reaping
to --day what she sowed, This ,is a`lin
iversal law, applying to nations and to
individuals. Give yourself to God
and reap everlasthng lade. Fourth, the
law of ,perfecting ` strength -'by adding
strength, to weakness you are doubly
strong • We need to ,exercise this
law an parliament and fin. church, Your
strength es ,made perfect when you
recognizes your weakness and also the
weakness of others.

cannot think that this seemingly care-
less lack of etiquette is due to any-
thing but pure thoughtlessness, but
these things are, noticed by ,educated
and highly sensitive people, and es-
pecially by strangers, and it is by pay-
ing attention to just such apparently
small details that we raise, or deprec-
iate the morale of our citizens'.
Hoping this will be received in the
same kindly spirit in .which it is given
and will reap beneficial results, and
thanking you, Mrs Editor, for your
valuable space, I beg to remain,

THANKSGIVING PEACE SERVICE
The special Thanksgiving Peace ser-
vice, held ,in the Trivia Memorial
Church on Sunday evening, drew a
very large congregation, the church
being comfortably filled to capacity.
It was also the ,occasion of the an-
nual church parade for the Orange-
men of the district. There were about
80 in (bine, and headed by the Exeter
Band, marched to the church, mar-
shalled by the Master, Mr. D. B. San-
ders, Visitors were present from Lu -
can, Biddulph, Hensall and elsewhere.
Special music had been r repared by
the Shone and the service throughout
was most beautifully rendered, the
special selections bringing forth much
favorable comtttent.' The rector, Rev.
A. A. Trumper, had ,charge of the
the service and preached a very ex-
cellent and fitting discourse, taking for
his text :
"Not by might nor by power but
by My Spirit saith, the cord of
Hosts" Zec. 4, 6.
The preacher said in part that the
great principle stated in 'the text
could be seen in the marvelous
works of God throughout history.
The crossing of the Jordan; the /all
of.., the Walls of Jericho; Gideon's
300 men that lapped, the still small
voice that spoke to Elijah were all
used as illustrations of the great
truth that is "not by might nor by
power" that wonders are accomplish-
ed. Many nations have tried to re-
verse this principle. Assyria and
Babylonia gained power by blood-
shed; Greece made the appeal of.
beauty her ideal and forgot. morality
Rome ruled by inexorable, law and
forgot mercy; Spain worshipped gold
France loved glory and Germany de-
voted herself to kultur, and the Div-
ine sentence of death and extinction
has been passed on them all. The
British Empire although mighty and
powerful -has sought to remember
the Fatherhood of God and the bro-
therhood of man. The world to -da
is in a state of change and flux and
we must remember that in all our
efforts in, this age of reconstruction
might and power must give way' to
the Spirit of God, which alone can
solve the tremendous ;problems pres-
sing for ' solution.

WO FLOUR vs PERCE FLOOR
`Manitoba's Best" now Second to None
During the past struggle in which Canada has so nobly
done her part, Canadian flour had to be below a cer-
tain standard. Some millers evaded the law and procur-
ed great increase in sales; "Manitoba's Best" complied
with the Government's regulations, even at a loss it
.popularity. Now regulations are gone, We set our own,
high standard. "Manitoba's Best" is to -day superior to
any flour you can procure. We will prove lour state-
ment if you, once use. it: Made under ideal conditions,
part Western wheat, experienced millerseno government
regulations. Why shouldn't it be the leader. Give it a
trial.
