One reason why so many girls aril bays, men and women, too, are an- teresting, is because they try sobard to be dikee somebody else rather than be content to rema to himself or her- self in lite. In nature you doe's see as oal;:posing as a willow, one Week cluck as a white leghorn, or a epee a peony or a dog as a cat. Be nat- ural and you'll be alright. There seems to. be considerable di- versity of opinion. as ea voting on the coming Referendum.. There is an impression prevalent that tenets must answer each question, in the same way -that is, that the four questions on the ballot trust be answered with four yes s or four no's' or the ballot will be spoiledThis imprese on is oakcorrect. You pan vote "yes" or "x,,,r" tci the four questions,but you snust vote "yes" or "no" to all the questions, otherwise your ballot will be counted as. spoiled.

Collins, -f the Ascension, Windsor, a recen rector of the Trivitt Memorial was the special preacher, assisted by the present rector, Rv. A. A. Trump- et. Both services were exceedingly bright and pleasing, and the sermons preached by Bev. Collins were elo- quently delivered and deeply spiritual in character, demonstrating. that fie has lost none of his old-time vigor as an expounder of the good old Gospel truths. He took for his text in the morn- ing judges 7, 7, his topic being "De- liverance from the hands of our en- emy." Ile compared Gideon. with' his paltry three hundred winning victory aver the opposing hosts by the help of God to the Allies forces, unpre- pared as they .were fighting against; the perfect ,machinery of Hun organ- ization and ultimately being delivered from the barbarism and reign of ter- ror which would have had world dom- ination land Germany won.

Victory was the key note and that there are considerations other than the: mere defeat of the enemy which should be taken into account. He classed these as By-products of the war, they being:- 1, eing r 1. Elimination of the old Turkish Empire which has always been a clog on the wheels of progress, but now in accordance with the divine plan, as a result of the outcome of the war is no more and Palestine is in, our hands. 2. The Collapse of Russia -Her dreamt .of Southward extension was Shattered. and a disaster to civiliza- tion thue averted, Another step inn'. carrying out the purposes of God. 3. The influences of God on 'our own .Anglo Saxon Race. The Em- pire did net know its strength until subjected to trial, through which she finally emerged victorious. Our stan- dard of judgment is highest, ourchar- acter is highest, and by God's help His purposes will be fulfilled in. us, This reference would not be com- plete without a word of commenda- tion. to the organist and choir, to h G IttS for their interest and labor in adding so much to the high character of the service. All anthems were, to say the least, difficult, and well rendered.

At a recent meeting of the 'Farm- ers' Clubs ot South Huron it was de- cided to can a convention at fiensall on Monday, Sept. 2Zn1, and put a candidate in the field for the Provin- cial Legislature. PROVINCIAL ICED CROSS. A meeting or the Reel Cross Societ- ies of Ontario was held in Toronto Sept 3rd. In eptte of the fact that Ontario is tha centre ot the Caned- Ian Red Cross Society, the Provinee had never been officially represented at Council fneetfugs. Tbe need was felt to be absolutely neeessary as the Red Cross Work bas now a new out- look, special efforts should be made along the lines et health, Mrs. Plusepter emphasized the fact that then wounded man must be the first interest and care of the Red Cross. Because the .-i3ritish North Amerfea Act gives each province con- trol of its owe health laws, it follows that these laws are different in each province, In organizing the work for Peace there must be no competition but rather co-operation. Infant Ilte to matte Canada sate for infancy will be ones ot its care. Provision sltoulci also be made for emergencies, sueb as the disaster at Halifax, the intluenza epidemic. Miss M. Power of the Provincial Board of Health pointed to the example of New Zealand where they have reduc- ed their infant death rate to 50 in 1000 or 10014 half what we are sue tering in Ontario, Because the Iced Cross belongs to all people it will be most fitted d to combine the work of all agencies. A resolution was moved by Colonel Panton oi: Belleville and seconded by Mrs. Dunstan that we form a. Prov- incial broach, which was unanimous- ly carried. , Jean Fitton, Secty. Huron R. C.
