The Wingham Advance.
38TH YEAR, NO. 2
WINGUAM, ONT,, THURSDAY, JANUARY l 2T, 1910.
TIME REV. SAM. SMALL.
Large Audience Listened To His Lecture
On "His Majesty The Devil."
In the Town Hall on Friday evening
the good people of Wingham had an
opportunity of hearing the celebrated
Sam Small, the old comrade and fel-
low worker of the famous Rev, Sam
Jones, deliver his much talked of lec-
ture on "His Majesty the Devil." De-
spite the lecturer's modest disclaimer
at the outset, there was a sense in
which it was undoubtedly true that be
was full of his subject, For a whole
hour and a half he held the undivided:
attention of the audience that com-
pletely filled the ball, as with fact and
argument and illustrations drawn
from the Bible, Paradise Lost, Mo-
hammedan legend. philosophy, imagi-
nation, and every other conceivable
source, be discoursed upon his chosen
theme, When be was through, many
of his hearers, like Oliver Twist, were
asking for more. While Mr. Small
was far from saying that the devil is
not so black as he was painted, he did
say that he was not at all as he has
been painted. The fierce being with
the forked tail and horns, and cloven
feet of the old artist whose coming
into one end of the town would send
saints and common sinners alike stam-
peding out at the other end; is not Mr.
Small's conception of his Satanic Ma-
jesty. As it was not his desire to
wander about through a deserted vil-
lage, but to do business with the in-
habitants, he comes as the well dressed
gentleman or the hustling man of
business, or in whatever guise will
make him most acceptable to even the
oldest inhabitant, and allow him best
to get in his fell work. Nor did he
announce his coming that the Mayor
and Town Council might meet hint at
the station with carriages and brass
band—although, the lecturer added,
there is many a Town Council that
would be quite ready to do the honors
—but he comes quite unostentatiously
and insinuates himself into any place
where he may effect his dire purpose.
Mr. Small declared his belief in the
personality of the devil, though he did
not inform his bearers upon what he
based such belief. He showed by a
very striking illustration from hypno-
tism bow he might exert his malign
influence, and most graphically pic-
tured the many devices of the tempt-
ing fiend, and how he always, left his
poor victim in the lurch.
On the whole it was a most clever
address—full of things—wise, and per-
gaps also otherwise, Many extrava-
gant and exaggerated statements were
uttered, but as it was evidently in-
tended to create a sensation, and as
most of the audience evidently ex-
pected a sensation, why should any
one complain. As an entertainment
the lecture was certainly a success.
As a means of grace it is doubtful if
many, on leaving the hall Friday
evening, felt that they had been to
church, and, as for settling questions
on the subject which many have asked
it is likely the address started more
question than it answered. Still
upon every point that he touched, Mr.
Small's utterance was undoubtedly on
the right side, and there can be little
question that the lecture would only
do good.
The Young Men's Club of the Metho-
dist Church, under whose auspices Mr.
Small came to town, are to be thanked
for giving the people an opportunity
to hear so striking and famous a
speaker.
Dr. Price made an efficient chairman
and the Male Quartette contributed
two much appreciated numbers.

TWENTY YEARS' SERVICE.
!tlr. Joseph U. Bradwin Retires Froth
Active Work.
For twenty yeats 1<1r. Joseph E,
Baad►vin has been a faithful employee
at the electric light works in the town
of Wingham, and now retires b (cause
the condition of his nervous system
will not permit him to continue,
Since the permanent Irnprovctments
have beat made to the plant, and un-
drr the pieseut excellent management,
the position which Mr. Brad win has
held is decidedly more pleasant than
it ever has been, and he sincerely re-
grets the necessity, of taking a much-
needed rest.
In the retirement of Mr. Bradwin,
the town has lost a valuable servant,
and one who stood faithfully at his
post through the numerous ups and
downs of the lighting service from its
infancy to itspresent state of develop-
ment.
In his moral, social and domestic
life, Mr. Bradwin has set an example
which it would pay all young men to
closely observe, for in so doing they
will. perform the duties of life with
honor to themselves and profit to
their employers.
Mr. Jos. Gibson is taking Mr. Brad -
win's place as engineer. Mr. Gibson
is a capable man, who has had con-
siderable experience with machinery,
and the Commission was fortunate in.
being able to secure him.
The first dynamo. in Wingham for
public lighting was installed in the
engine room of the Union factory by
the Reliance Electrical Co. of Water-
ford, Ont„ in February of 1800, with
Charles Peake of Waterford (now of
Toronto) in charge. On May 10th,
1890, Mr. Bradwin was engaged to
take charge of the dynamo on Satur-
day nights and nights before holidays,
and the average earnings that summer
amounted to $1.80 per week, In No-
vember of the same year the plant
was taken over by Gilchrist, Green &
Co„ then proprietors of the Union fat
tory, and still in charge of Mr. Brad -
win. The above was an arc plant, but
in 1891 an incandescent plant was in-
stalled by the Royal Electrical Co. of
Montreal, for Gilchrist, Green & Co.
In November of 1898 the electric plant
was moved to its present site and the
plant was taken over by W. H. Green,
under the name of the Wingham Elec-
tric Light Co. The plant developed
until it consisted of six small electrical
machines. In 1003 the town purchased
the plant from Me. Green, and in 1908
the Executive committee of the Town
Council, with Mr. William Holmes as
Mayor, decided to change the lighting
system and almost the entire plant by
putting in one generator and excitor
large enough to supply the town with
light and power • for years to come.
That the change was a good one is
admitted by everyone, and in the
Electric Lighting plant, Wingham has
an asset that any town might well be
proud of.

A GUARANTEE.
A copy of the beautiful picture en-
titled "The Soul's Awakening," size
19x21 inches, ready for framing, is
still guaranteed to all who renew their
subscriptions or become subscribers to
The Family Herald and Weekly Star
of Montreal. Too much cannot be
said of this lovely picture. It de-
serves all that has been said of it and
more too. A copy should be in every
home in Canada and those who fail to
make sure of a copy now will regret it
later. It is safe to say that no one
who has a copy would care to sell it
for twice what he paid for The Family
Herald for the year and the picture.
One dollar pays a whole year's sub-
scription to that great Weekly, and
the picture is presented to each sub-
scriber. -Don't miss it.

FARM HANDS FOR ONTARIO.
Salvation Army To Bring A Desirable
Class Of People To The Dominion.
Notwithstanding the great flow of
immigration to Canada during the
past few years, the need of farm help
seems to he as great as ever, and in
order to meet the demand, the Salva-
tion Army has had ten experienced
Canadian representatives in Great Bri-
tain during the past three months,
selecting a good class of able-bodied
men and women, whose emigration
will be arranged this spring, As the
Emigration Department of the Army
has done extensive advertising in the
rural districts of Great Britain it is
expected that they will be successful
in bringing a plass of people to this
country who will readily adapt them-
selves to Canadian farming.
There is a great desire on the part of
married men with families to emigrate
to Canada for farm work, and it is
gratifying to observe that farmers are
seeing the advantage of making pro-
per provisions to be in a position to
hire this class of*hetp . Married men
are to be heartily recommended as
making the most permanent settlers,
being anxious to make homes for
their families in this country.
Full information and Application
Form, will be furnished by Liertt 0o1-
onel Howell, Immigration Offices,
James and Albert Streets, Toronto, or
Staff -Captain Williams, Clarence St.,
London.
It is expected that parties of men
for farm work will arrive during the
months of • March, April, May, June
and July, under the supervision of the
Army's duly appointed conductors,
and will be sent from port of landing
direct to situation throughout the
provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
The Renewing Season.
This is the month the editor expects
you to call. We will be "At Home"
to callers every day except Sunday till
further notice. Instead of leaving
your cards you are expected to leave
a dollar, for which The Advance will
be sent to you for another year.

Superintendent Engaged.

Superintendent of the Wingham Hos-
pital for the past couple of years, has

thirty. The choice fell upon Miss
Matthews of London, who is regarded
as a most capable person for the re-
sponsible position. Miss Matthews
has recently returned from taking a
post -graduate course in the New York
Hospitals.

Y, M. C, A. BANQUET.
The Annual Banquet Given By The
Y, M. C. A. Successful.
The banquet given on Thursday
evening last by the Ladies' Auxiliary
of the Y. M. O. A, was a decided suc-
cess, both as to numbers and enter-
tainment. About two hundred per-
sons, young and old, sat down to three
tables extending the full length.of the
large hall. The provisions furnished
by the ladies were of the very best
and in abundance. When all had ful-
ly satisfied the "inner man" the meet-
ing was called to order when a very
enjoyable and interesting program
was given.
Dr. Price, the indefatigable Presi-
dent, acted as chairman. Reports of
the year's work were given by the
various officers Sec„ W. Field;
Treas., Robt. Maxwell ; Religious
work, J. H. Christie ; Social dept., A.
Coutts; Boys' work, A. H. Wilford ;
Cor. See., J. 111, Graham ; Pres, of
Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. Linklater.
The principal address was given by
Musgrove, M,L.A., A. H. sgro whn took as
his subject "Nation Building," and
pointed out how Canada possessed all
the requisites to become a great
nation—climate, resources, soil, fish,
cries and waterways. Besides these
we have a pod class of people, good
institutions, security under the British
flag, and that the young men of the
present day should do their share in
building up a great country.
Short addresses were also made by
Rev, fur. Steeves, Rev. Dv. Rutledge
and Mr. Fleming, Co. Secretary. In
addition to this, Mr. F. J. Hill and
the male quartette rendered several
excellent musical selections, This
quartette consisted of Messrs, Greer,
Hill, Hammond and Ansley, while
Miss Reynolds was accompanist.
Death Of Leon Bok.
Death came very suddenly last
Thursday to Leon Bok, a young than
who has been in the employ of the
Wingham Hospital and Dr. Kennedy.
Deceased has been troubled for the
past two years with diabetes, but last
week contracted a cold which brought
on an acute attack of the trouble, re-
sulting in his demise. He was 19
years of age, and his parents reside
near Belmore. Mrs. John Fisher of
town was a sister,
Making Improvements.'
This week the shoe store of W. H.
Willis & Co. is undergoing improve-
ments, which, when completed, will
make it one of the largest stores of
its kind in Western Ontario. The re-
pairing department has been moved
up -stairs, the partition removed, and
the shelving not only extended to the
end of the store, but also continued to
the ceiling instead of the ledge as
.formerly. When the ladders are in-
stalled, painting done, and the finish-
=ing touches pet on, the store will
certainly be an up-to-date one.

Died in Orangeville. •
Quite a number in Wingham will be
shocked to hear of the death of Miss
Olive Sanderson, which occurred in
Orangeville on Monday morning. De-
ceased was a sister of Mrs. L David-
son and Mr. A. Sanderson and had
visited here at different times. For
the past two years she had been with
her sister in Peoria, Ili., but returned
to Orangeville a couple of months
ago. Deceased contracted a severe
cold, which settled on her lungs, and
for some time has been in a weakened
condition. Mrs. Davidson left on
Monday morning for Orangeville, but
did not arrive in time to see her sister
alive. She was an exceptionally
bright girl, and her death will bring
sadness to many hearts. She was
about 21 years of age.
Wingham Wins Again.
The Wingharn hockey team took
another step in the direction of win-
ning the Northern Hockey League
District when they defeated the husky
bunch of puck chasers from Palmer-
ston on Friday evening of last week.
The game was fast from beginning to
end and many sensational plays were
rade. 'On account of the mild wea-
ther neverthe-
less,
the ice was heavy, but nee t
less, the large number of spectators
got the worth of their money by wit-
measing one of the fastest genies of the
season, At half time, the score was

Wev
have just received a fresh
barrel of Cranberries, which
we will tell at
10c a Quart
This is the lowest price
reached in years
Otte quart of Cranberries is
equal to a half -peck of apples
when cooked. Cranberry sauce
mattes all meats palatable and
is at delicious served with roast
beef, pork and all fowls, as
with turkey-.
It ie noticeable that those who
eat Cranberries freely, have
few ailments.
