The programme for the bi celebration on Dominion Day is no fully completed and will without th shadow of a doubt eclipse anything i the nature of a celebration ever put o in these parts. The committee, wh have taken the matter in hand hav done so entirely on their own responsi bility and at their own risk, They ar working tooth and nail and are spendin the price without any compensation i any shape or form and no matter wha the proceeds amount to not one can will go to any member of the commit tee or in fact to anyone excepting thes who are engaged to put on the pro gramme. In case there is a loss thi committee will have to stand pat and pay. it themselves. They therefore appeal so every citizen to lend a help ing hand to make this a banner day. Many things can be done by the citizens that will help. For instance, in the way of decorating their homes. stores, etc„ inviting your friends from other towns or villages or from the country to spend the day with you. By seeing to it that the kiddies have a little spare change for that day so that it will not be necessary for them to steal in under the eanvat. The committee needs the money and hope the parents will dis- courage the children from doing se. This advice will also apply to some who are not kiddies. There will be a grand parade at 0 a.m. which wilt start from the park and all public school children from the Wingham public school and the neighboring schools, both villages and country, are asked to join in this parade. Each child- is asked to bring a small flag and if possible it is desired that the girls be dressed in white. At the same time this is not compulsory and no girl will be excluded from the parade for the reason that she may not have a white dress. In return for this the committee have decided to allow all public school children, who take part in the possession, into the grounds (in the morning only) for the small fee of 5 cents. Agrangernents have been made for two balloon aseensions (the morning one being especially for the benefit of the children) will take place immediate- ly after the parade reaches the grounds. The Teeswater and the Wingham base- ball teams will then play, and let us state right here, that Teeswater have some ball team this year. Promptly ,at i.30 pat. the Chesley lacrosse team (the bestin northern Ontario) and the Wingham team will cross sticks. The Wingham team is without any doubt the best the town ever had and an ex- cellent article of Canada's National game is sure to result. At 8.30 Madame Dorothy De Venda will make smother balloon acsensioniand this will be follow- ed)g a baseball game that will make the audience sit up and look. The Clinton and Wingham teams will battle for the Championship of. Huron, and Dick Teske; formerly pitcher for the Brantford Canadian League team, will pitch for Clinton and our own Matt. Telfer will do the twirling for Wing - ham. The evening entertainment will begin with a eharnpionship football game (for the county championship) between the fast Brussels teatn and the Wingham team, the latter team expeet to Win and will be composed largely of the Champion Rough eup team. Then will follow a "Feast of music" by the Itincailline pipe band and the Wingharn band and the day will eonelude with a most speetaetilar and magnificent Os. play of fireworks. This display is beitg prepared by the Hatid Company of Hamilton and will surpass anything of the kind that has been seen in these parts.

How the fire originated is not known and was not discovered until too late. Mr, and Mrs. Saint had left only about half an hour before, to visit a sister living about a mile front town, and were immediately telephoned for./ The firemen were on the scene as soon as possible and although three streams of water were turned upon the burning building, very little of the household effects were saved. Mr. Saint had only a very small insurance upon the house and furnitureln the Sun Insurance Co. and as both are practically destroyed, he will be a heavy loss.

D. Perrie dealt with the subject of Sabbath Observance. He based his address on Romans 1, 21; "13ecause that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God." The words were spoken by Paul of the Roman world in his day. The heathen by nature knew God but did not honour or worship him as God. Therefore tneir conception of God became confused and uncertain. Theheart as the centre of their moral eonsciousness was darken- ed. Let the Sabbath be desecrated, let its rest be destroyed and the duty of worshipping and honouring God will gradually be abandoned and we are on the down grade to heathenism. Quo- tations were read from eminent states- men and jerists who spoke of the Sab- bath as "the greatest of all the institu- tions that bless the life of our land." The responsibility fortho observance of the day of rest lay very much with the churches Christians must seek to be loyal to the spirit of the day. It was to be regretted that too many in every church sought tomake it a day of pleas- ure aed thereby to hinder Christian work. Against this evil tendency a devoted band were at work in every eoegregation, caring for the Sabbath School and seeking to encourage atten- danee at the different services. Since the advent of the aetomobile, the rest - fellness of the Sabbath has been much disturbed. A time Wag whet we boast- ed of sitting under our own vine and fig tree none daring to molest or make us afraid, but often those who sit tinder the shade of the maple or verandah are enveloped in clouds of dust by a visaing auto with a furious and discourteous driver. Even by some drivers, pecks. titans are shown very little considera, tion but must clear the way with un- seemly haste when this lord of the high. way rushes fiereely on. With those who have no inteteat in the day of rest, the machine is a splendid breaker of the Sabbath peaee. "*11=reeseag'st Ontario Nations JUNE 29th, 1914 •••••10,••••••••••••••• N1. W. ROWELL, K.

J. 13. Mullen, who for a third of a century was minister of St Andrew's Church, Fergus, and who has lived in Elora sinee his retirement, has written to The Flora Express the following letter on putting principle before party, Mr. Mullen is well known as an ardent Conservative: - 1 was in my garden and on my knees, thinning and weeding my beets, pars nips, ete., a few days ago, midi& I began to meditate on the approaching elec- tion, when a voice seemed to say to me: "You ought to vote to abolish the bar." There was no one near but God and Conscience, and immediately 1 conferred no t with flesh and blood, but said to myself; "That is what I intend doing if spared to the 29thi" I save been fighting this debasing traffic all my life, and I would Iike to see some measure passed, before I die, that would help to wipe the stain offthis fair Province of Ontario. I would rather see this done by my own party, and I was hoping that as God has given a new lease of life to Sir 3, Whitney he might see his way clear either to remove the three-fifths handicap or do what Rowell has promised to do: abolish the bar. But we have not a hirit of anything of the kind, and therefore I am compelled to part compiles?, on the matter of 'Temper- ance, with those in power. The first vote that I ever gave in my life, for a member of Parliament was on the 21st of September, 1911, when I helped to turn out the Liberal party, and I have been glad ever sinee; and, if spared to the 29th inst., the second will be to I help put Rowell in such Et position in this Province as will eriable him to carry out his professed wish to abolish the bar, Local option, handicapped with the three•tifthS, is too slow a process, Whet we might have a Provincial measure. It demands ceaseless agitatioe end keep people always on the wreck. Let us seek a more exeellent way, "There is a tido in the affairs Of men, which, taken at the flood, leads- on to fortune." Let both Grit and Tory take this tide in the Temperance Retain at its flood, and with, if possible, greater enthusiasin than was manifested againet Retiprecity, 1 let us write upon the escutcheon of this beautiful Province: "I3ars Abolished.'
