to -this section in 1853, worked among
farmers for whatever he could get,
.and' finally. settled .in. Greenfield town-
shizi, •now a part of Detroit.
The elder Turner, his son enthusi-
astically explained, was a good English
seieman, who had d a faculty of handling
.men, :even Irishmen, in' the bush. !So

old saying goes, and so• thinks Tate.
Joseph Collins, a ►HaMilten, soldier who
met Philip Hollis, of Stratford, in the
Ambitious City last Thursday. A little
bit under the weather, Hollis, who had
his own car ' with 'him, asked Collins
to drive, him to Gbderich. The soldier
obliged, but once here Hollis allegedly
made no provision to get Collins •beck
to. Hamilton before his leave expired.
So Collins drove himself back to Mimi?.

'First Sermon 'of Pastorate
Poe the fiteme-of his morning sermon
on Sunday the new minieter chose,
"Cherish the best eeinge." The task ,
of the church, he said, is to teach boys
and girls and men and women to love
and to uphold the best in literature. the
;finest in art, the' highest stendard
community life, and most of all to
cultivate a deep religions faith. The
home, said the preacher; has a heavy
reSponsibility in this matter. • If .

is placed !before h child there is de-
veloped a Wrong type of citizenship.

are called upon to Make sacrifices but
