Collins of Trivitt Mein. oriel church on Sunday morning preached an eloquent and eulogistic sermon on the work of Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He took for bis text the latter part of the 38th Verse of the fourth chapter of St. John: -"Other men laboured and ye are entered into their labor." He said: This day is observed in commem- oration of the introduction of Christ- ianity to the Emerald Isle and observ- ed as the birth day of St. Patrick who was instrumental in the work. The early people of the British Isles and of the north of France, then called Gaul, were Celts who had come from the plains of Asia. They were a won- derful race, sensitive, penetrating, en- thusiastic, warm as friends and cruel as enemies, sub)ect to fanaticism and their history is fascinating reading. When the religion of Christ came they accepted it enthusiastically. It is a debated question as to who introduced Christianity, but it took a strong root among the tribes. The boy, Patrick, was born A. D. 373, south of the Clyde, his father being a North Britian and a magistrate under the Romans. Slavery was in vogue at at that tune and the boy at seven years of age was captured as a slave ani taken to Ireland and there placed in the service of a petty king. His history here compares with that of Joseph who was taken down into Egypt. After six years Patrick escaped and return- ed to bis home in North Britain. He became restless at his father's home and hearing a voice say "Come and dwell among us" he in 397 went back to Ireland and bt; an teaching, preach- ing, working for Christ, often times taking his life in his own bands, under- going perils by land and sea, but he had the spirit of St. Paul and persever- ed. Much of the incredible has gath- ered around his name and history but he was a real man and did a real work. Ireland was in clans at this time and on a leader becoming converted hun- dreds followed. and it is thought that such would be the case in China and Japan if the leaders could beconverted. Religion at this time took the monas- tic or eomiuunionistic form. Great nlonastries were built where one third of the inmates tilled the ground, one- third followed literary pursuits and one-third worshipped continually, and thus during the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh centuries was kept alive the religion of Christ. St.PPatrick died in 483. After his death the work went back somewhat. Great changes were taking place in Britain. The Roman Empire was tottering to its fall and the Britains to keep back the Picts and Scots invited the Angles, Saxons and Jutes to their help. Then a long war- fareensued,after which Britain became a nation of Angles, Saxons. Jutes, and Celts. In the fifth century Ireland became the centre of Christianity in the world and Columban and Columba went out as missionaries,converted the Picts of Scotland, the people of Eng- land and France and Germany, estab- lishing rnonastries everywhere. So that although England gave Ireland her patron Saint, irelend sent the mis- sionaries to convert the English. Wo are to -day but playing with missions compared to the work done in those days.

SANDERS & CREECH The Exeters. Under the heading "The Two Exe- ter," an Exeter (England) paper, which was handed to us this week by Mr. Joseph Senior, states that it commun- ication has been received from Exeter, Australia, which communication after reciting the history of the Australian town. goes on to say that the school children there are about to send a handsome flag and photographs to the boys andirls of Exeter, Devonshire, and hoped that they would reciprocate so that they might "fly in the school ground on Empire Day the emblem of unity between the two Exeter's," Need- less to say the boys and girls of the English Exeter are reciprocating, a flag being purchased by a penny sub- scription. Why should not the Canadian Exe- ter take part in this friendly exchange of flags? One of the best ways of keep- ing the hearts of the Canadians warm to the mother country is by teach- ing the children when at school to love their native land, the mother country and an empire that is "greater than has been." And what better method than that which the children of the old land and those of Australia have taken. Lumley Jas.

MCIL[.IrAR0S1.- This week it is our sad duty to record the death of one of our old village boys. We refer to the demise of N. J. Mclllhargey which event took place et Port Arthur Saturday, March 1e. He had been sick only a short time, tak- ing ill on Sunday for the first and on Monday was sent to the hospital. Thursday the doctors saw there was no hope for his recovery and his wife and sister Mary, who reside in Hamil- ton, were sent for, but before reaching Port Arthur on Saturday he was dead, having succumbed to an attack of in- flammation of the bowels. Word was then sent here to his parents Saturday afternoon and the body did not reach here until Tuesday Morning. He was a young man 35 years of age; had been Chief Despatcher un the G. N. W. at Hamilton for several years, but owing to ill health about a year and a half ago he went to the West and while there his condition tnucb improved. He had taken charge of the station at Port Arthur only a short time ago. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. besides a father, moth- er, two sisters and One brother, all of whom have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. The funeral takes place this morning (Thursday) to the R. C. cemetery in Biddulph. MOW Forecasts for March. A Reactionary Storm Period is cen- tral on the 20th, 21st and 22nd. This period is exactly on the turn of the March equinox. The 20th, 21st and 22nd ate among the days of great storm possibilities. A regular storm period extends from the 225th to the end of March. The central day of the period is the :'7th. 1Vithin this last storm period for March we have the Mercury period central on the 25th, the "Vulcan" period central on the 27th, the Jupiter period central on the 29th, with full Moon on the 29th and on the celestial equator on the 30th. There is every reason to apprehend storms and other phenomena out of the ordinary at this period. 'Rini. canes on the south coasts and torna- does in the interior, are possible and probable. Late blizz:u'ds out of the northwest are also among the probab- ilities during the closing days of the month. This is a time when general seismic unrest will prevail, with vol- canic outbursts and severe earth- quakes in Many parts of the globe. Wiitchelsea Woodbees are the order of the day in this neighborhood. -Geo. Godbold is visiting bis sister, Mrs. D. McDou- gol, at Comber. -Misses Myrta and Madeline Brown,who have been spend- ing the winter with their grandmoth- er, Mrs. Brown, have returned to their hone in Centralia.
