SPECIAL SERVICES IN ST. PAUL'S
On Sunday last, Rogation Sunday,
theservices at Morning Prayer in St.
Paul's were partly of a memorial nature
for the gallant Canadians who fell in
the recent battles in Flanders, and es-
pecially for the late Mr. Edward Murch,
a member of the congregation, who
gave his life in the full bloom of early
manhood in defense of his country and
king. (And just here we might
mention that this congregation is justly
proud of the large number of members
and adherents of this Church who are
among those who left Wingham for the
front).: The rector took as his text.
"Be ye faithful unto death and I will
give you a crown of life," and ii a con-
cise and dignified manner spoke of the
faithfulness and exalted courage of the
brave Canadian troops who rose to the
occasion and, when the French regi-
ments were almost annilhitated,
gallantly charged ed thP
enemy with a
cheer on their lips and faith in their
hearts, knowing it meant almost certain
death to every man,and thus saved Calais,
and what may be, the very Empire, it-
self, for had the Germans won the way
to Calais, what? The speaker mentioned
the wonderful services conducted by
our great Bishop of London at the front
where the mud spattered and battle -
worn soldiers came from the trenches,
and kneeling before him, received the
holy rite of Confirmation and the Holy
Communion; the beautiful services of
the Church conducted hy the bishop in
barns attended by large numbers. From
their noble example we should learn to
be faithful and heroic also in all things,
especially to the King of Kings by at-
tending the means of grace and by
self-denial show true heroism in the
Christian life. Surely, -.,the preacher
asked, it was not necessary that we
should hear the sound of shot and shell
and see blood flowing in our own fair
land to make us realize that the way to
eternal life is not along the primrose
path of self-indulgence. The service
closed with the wonderful hymn "On
the Resurrection Morning", with its
message of life and immortality with
those we love beyond the grave, The
"Dead March in Saul" was played by
Mr. Willis as a recessional.
ominion Day Celebration.
Everything is moving very satis-
actorily regarding the Dominion Day
elebration. In fact the committee

he following is a copy of the address:--
Wingham, Ont., May 8th, 1915.
ir. Jas. A. Cummings,
Wingham.
Dear Sir and Bro.-The brethren
of Maitland Lodge, No. 119, I. 0. 0.
F., regret very much to hear of
your intended removal from our
midst, and feel that they cannot let
this opportunity pass, without ex-
pressing to you their regrets.
Since your return to tow,n some
years ago we have learned to
esteem you very highly, both as an
Oddfellow and a man, During our
intercourse with you, both in the
lodge room and outside, we have
always found you to be a true Odd -
fellow in the best meaning of the
term. Always willing to do your
duty for the advance of the Order.
We will therefore ask you to ac-
cept this small token of our love
and esteem, not for its intrinsic
value, but as a slight remembrance
of the many happy hours we have
spent together.
Signed on behalf of
Maitland Lodge.

PATRIOTIC SOCIETY NOTES.
The Ladies' Patriotic Society will
hold a meeting on Friday afternoon cf
this week at three o'clock in the Coun-
cil Chamber of the Town Hall. All the
members of the Society are especially
urged to be present. AU those who are
willing to assist, and every lady
who will spare the time, (even at some
cost to herself) is asked to attend this
meeting for the purpose of helping the
progress of the good work of the Red
Cross Society. The call is urgent and
the the need is great. More funds are
required and ways andmeans of rais-
ing money are to be considered. We
need your help! Will each and every-
one consider this a- personal appeal !
Our Society has done much but there
is much more to do. We cannot rest
on the glory of past efforts. There is
so much more yet to be done. Band-
ages! Dressings! Thousands of yards
yet required and how to raise the mon-
ey for
this
purpose is
the question now
before
U,
s
Let us repeat our appeal for new
material and old. Does it grow tire-
some, this constant demand? To those
who have contributed perhaps it does,
but so many have not yet thought of it.
Will these not send in there contri.
bution now. Also come to the meeting
on Friday to give all the help they can.
Card of Thanks.
I wish to express through your paper
my thanks and gratitude to the Board
and staff of the Wingham General
Hospital for the great care and kind-
ness I received during the seven months
I was a patient in the hospital.
Yours truly,
T. CALvER.
Temperance Meeting.
The regular monthy meeting of the
W. C, T. U. will be held on Thursday,
May 13th, at the hour of three o'clock
in the C. 0. F. Hall, A full attendance
of the members is requested. An in-
teresting meeting is being prepared.
The President extends a cordial in-
vitation to all ladies of the town and
surrounding country. -Life should be
considered a measure to be filled -not a
cup to be drained. -Arthur T. Hadley.
License Boards Go.
The automatic resignation of the
hundred odd license commissions on
Thursday, when the new board assumes
charge, marks the ending of a system
which has prevailed in Ontario for 40
years. Since 1872 the method of local
commissions appointed at the sugges-
tion of legislative members has been in
vogue, and all provincial license affairs
have subscribed to its regulations.
In that time the number of licenses
has been reduced by nearly 4,000. When
the suggestion of Hon, Adam Crooks
became law there were 6,000'licenses in
Ontario. and now there was but 1,600.
Advertise all Lines
The merchant who does not advertise
is a drag on the merchants in the same
town who do. He is a dead weight on
the live merchant.
This is how the departmental store
gets the 'bulge' on local merchants. It
lies every line of goods in stock and
advertises every one of them.
Local merchants, say in the dry goods
line, are good advertisers. They bring
trade to the `town, but they handle
'only dry goods. If others who handle
other goods do not advertise, and trade
goes elsewhere, so much the worse for
the town and so the worse for the live
merchants,
Rural Deanery Meets in St Paul's
On Thursday last, May 6th, the Rai
Decanal Chapter of the County of
Huron met in Wingham. The Holy
Communion was' celebrated at 9 a.m.
by the rector, Rev. Ernest G. Dymond,
and Ven. Archdeacon Richardson of
London preached on the subject of
"The Apostolic Conception of the
Church's Missions" The clergy and
lay delegates then adjourned to
the school room below, and tin
morning was spent in the discussion cf
important matters, parochial and dio-
cesean.. During the afternoon, Messrs
Alien and Rose discussed the question
of Missions with the members of the
Deanery who gleamed much useful in-
formation as to ways and means of
raising the apportionments for missions.
A men's banquet was held at 6.30 aftt,r
which Mr. Rose and Mr. Allen address-
ed the men on Missions. All who wer e
present expressed themselves as
p
r
pleas-
ed and benefitted, A hearty•vote of
thanks was rendered the ladies for tai,
excellent banquet they had prepared.

was tastefully decorated for the occasion,
the gallery being decorated with a pro-
fusion of red, white and blue bunting
and flags. There were large congrega-
tions at all three services and the
children excelled themselves in their
singing. Special music, under the able
leadership of Mr. J. A. Morton, was
much appreciated. A special feature
of the services was the marching of
the school scholars from the schoolroom
to the church, each class carrying a flag.
Rev. J. W. Baird, of Mitchell, gave
addresses at all services, his morning
subject being "I am the light of the
World", which was illustrated by
candles, and showed that we get our
light from the Saviour, the Light of
the World and in turn should be lights
toothers..
In the afternoon the speaker gave an
address on "The friendship of David
and Jonathan," and showed how we
should be loyal and: true to everthing
that is right. At this service the re-
ports of the secretary and treasurer
were read and showed the school under
the efficient superintendent, Mr. F.
Buchanan, to be in a prosperous and
flourishing condition. The receipts be-
ing over $1000; paid S. S. supplies $195;
missions $200; connectional purposes
$32; Ontario S. S. Association $10;
balance on hand about $550.
At the evening service, Mr. Baird

thou? Come and see," showing that
man lives in three spheres or conditions.
The three addresses were much ap-
preciated.
