PRESENT PAST MASTER'S JEWEL TO AUSTIN PURDY In recognition of his work as secretary of the organization which staged the annual July 12th parade at Goderich this year, Austin Purdy was presented with a Past Master's Jewel at the regular meet- ing of Victoria L.O.L.' No. 182 at Goderich Monday night. The pre- sentation was made by W. M. Earl Cooper. Possibility that Goderich, Luck - now and Hanover Fastball teams may fold up next year is voiced in the Meaford Express. The story says that Chesley is understood to be lining up a squad already to take over the Ilanover franchise, and Wiarton is thought to be in- terested in taking over the fran- chise that was denied them before the league started this year. And still another possibility is looming that Owen Sound may get in the 1WOAA Fastball set-up. WOAA rules do not allow cities to com- pete, but when the association drew up its constitution it didn't, have anything like the Major Fastball loop in mind. Meaford manager Tom Sims is all, for bringing in an :Owen Sound crew in an attempt to strengthen the loop. He says 1he intends to bring up the matter at the next meeting of the associ- ation. 1 c Meanwhile, the Walkerton Hart- leys, who are in the WOAA Fast - ball playoffs with the Meaford Knights, are also competing in OASA playdowns and took the best -of -three first round series by I knocking off Stratford in two I straight games. They blanked the Stratford crew 9-0 in the sec- lond game with George Zuk rapping out a homer and allowing only five scattered hits to sparkplug the team. Zuk, by the way is being helped in his pitching efforts in the OASA playdowns by Charlie Cotton, who twirled for Hanover in the Fastball league. Cotton was granted permission to play for Walkerton in the OASA playdowns only and will not take part in any games against Meaford in the WOAA finals.

When the music ceased a-gentlemean clapped hien on the back aid said "Well done, my friend!" Thinking It was one of his comrades Ie .swung around on his stool and smilingly queried: "And whp are you?" Quick as a flash came the reply: "YOUR KING!" In an instant the soldier was on his feet with hil hand at the salute, his whole being instinct with pleasure at the hatior accorded him by the royal words of praise. This sovereign was CROWNED in the heart of. this veteran as well as by.his nation. He had -fought under his colors and had offered his life for his cause. 1 would like to picture a much greater Kliii, Creator; Sus- tainer and Saviour. His name JESUS CHRIST. His reception -- a manger for a bed.. His ministry—Healed the sick, forgave the sinner, preached the gospel to the poor, raised the dead. His CORONATION—CROWNED with THORNS, rejected in favor of of Barabbas, nailed to a cross as a common criminal. To -day, as then He is either CROWNED Or CRUCIFIED. He is "YOUR KING or the REJECTED KING." He is rightful HEIR and RULER; soon He will return to take the rains of government. How is it with you my reader?
