SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
--Again wireless telegraphy has
been the means of saving human life,
Quite recently, a Pere Marquette car
ferry in the middle of Lake Michigan
sprang a leak and was foundering,
when its wireless call for help was
picked up by a sister vessel. Assist-
ance came in time to save a number of
lives, though the death roll was
terribly large.

—Courtesy demands a reply to busi-
ness eziquiries, and it is semetimes an-
noying when a reply is not received.
A lawyer named Armond in Texas
was troubled by Iris correspondence
being forgotten, and so he got a
special postcard printed, as large as
the regulations would permit, to go
through the mail. le measured 20 by
38 inches, weighed four pounds and
took 20c postage. It is hoped he got a
reply to that, for it was large enough
not to be overlooked.

—The Guelph Eferaid reports the
following seems that the ships
of the Laurier navy are to be describs
ed as "H. M. C. S."; these letters signi-
fying "His Majesty's Canadian Ship."
Beitish warships are styled II. M. S,
What does the addition of the "C"
amount to 9 To this—That if a ship is
"H. M. 8.' she will fight any enemy
of the British Empire the instant
war begins ; whereas if she is "H. M.
C. S." she must not fight-, no matter
how great the danger to the Empire
until she has received word of the
passing of an order -in -council at Ot-
tawa. That is what the addition of
the word "Canadian" means."
* * *
--When Canada is spending mil-
lions on her militia, and proposing to
spend many millions more on a
navy that she has no real need for,
iC would be worth while to find out
just what could be done with the
money we are actually wasting. Sup-
pose the money thus sqnandered were
devoted to the stamping out of the
white plague, what suffering might
be prevented and useful lives prolong-
ed. It is stated on good authority,
that in Great Britain, tuberculosis
claims over ninety thousand lives and
costs forty million dollars annually
besides. But Britain spends more
millions yearly on war vessels that in
a few years go to' the scrap heap, than
she does in fighting the dread disease.
Canada should take a more humane
course, and if necessary set the moth-
erland an example, instead of follow-
ing her folly. The Weekly Sun is
authority for the statement that by
the adoption of proper sanitary mea-
sures, tuberculosis could be wiped out
of Britain in a generation. If that is
true, it could be done in less time in
Canada, and. the millions we spend
playing at war would do the work.
Millions for frills and many unwise
and unnecessary expenditufes, but
only a comparatively insignificant
sum, towards stamping out a disease
that is claiming its thousands annual-
ly. Yet Canada is (professedly) a
Christian nation!
FORESTERS' SERVICE.
The'threatening weather interfered
somewhat with the attendance of the
Canadian Order of Foresters at the
Methodist Church last Sunday morn-
ing. Like many other people, some
of the Foeesters are evidently fair-
weather cbristiane. SW), deepite the
sprinkle of rain, about one hundred
of the members of Court Maitland
amid their way to the service. The
procession showed up well, and repre-
sented all classes of our citizens,
which is one of the commendable
things about one fraternal societies.
In the church, Foresters occupied the
centre seats which had beea reserved
for them. The singing, as wall as the
service throughout, was most hearty
and was apparently enjoyed by all
present.
Dr, Rutledge took for his text Gal.
0:2—"Bear ye one• another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ ;" also
the 5th verse—"Every man must bear
his own burden."

DISTRICT MEETING.
The financial meeting and Sunday
School convention of the Wingham
district of the Methodist Church was
held in Wroxeter on Thursday of led
week.
There was a large attendance of
ministers and laymen at the district
meeting, and of Sunday School work.
ers at the convention, afternoon and
evening.
In opening the speaker extended a
hearty welcome to the visiting breth-
ren. "It idways see= to me," he
said, that it is quite fitting that those
fraternal arid benevolent organiza-
tions, whose origin may be traced his-
torically to the christian church, and
that are doirig so much of the
churches work to -day, should frena
time to time, assemble in our places of
worship, and thus bear witness to the
fact that there is no want of harmony
between them and. the church. And
why should. there be? Your work and
ours, so far as you go, is christian
work; to be sure the Church begins
farther back and goes farther for-
ward, but as far as you go, we step
together."
Returning to the text Dr. Rutledge
said life has often been likened to a
pilgrimage, not merely of a single in-
dividual: as pictured by Bunyan, for
we march in companies leagued and
banded together, over the desert
sands, with an oasis here and there,
but with many a perplexity, many
a burden. As we look at the great
crowd of pilgrims, we may see three
classes among them. Sortie' are try-
ing to shift their burdens on other
people; some are doing what they can
to carry their own burdens, but with-
out thought or care of others, and
some are not only bearing their own
burdens, but are doing what they can
'to lighten the loads of those that are
overcome. Our texts remind us that
it is the first duty of every man to
bear his own burdens. The Simplest
virtues are the first, and it is the first
duty of every man to take up the bur-
den of his life and bear it bravely,
faithfully and well. Every man for
himself, is a much abused motto, but
we must not forget that it has an ele-
ment of truth in it. The world owes
no man a living, every man owes it to
himself and to society to make his
own living, and also to care for those
dependent upon him. We should also
shoulder our own load of trouble and
sorrow, while looking for help and fel-
lowship from those who call us
friends ; no man has a right to carty
his gloom into ether lives. The bur-
den of moral responsibility, too, is in -
transferrable. Duty is a personal
thing. Every man lives in a world of
responsibility that is all his own. We
must with God's help, do our own
life work, fight our own battles, face
our own doubts and meet our own
temptations, relying upon our Father's
gracious promise—"My grace is suf-
ficient for thee."
At Ore district meeting Rev, David
Wren, M.A., of Ethel was appointed
distriot Temperance Sea, and a vigor-
ous campaign for the more thorough
enforcement of the liquor hew was in-
augurated. Arrangements were also
made for a miesionary campaign, In
the month of November all the minis-
ters of the district exchange pulpits
on the second Sunday, leading laymen
motley the several pulpits on the Sun-
day following, and deputations feom a
distance are to present the Missionary
question on the third Sunday, The
evangelistic work of the church also
engaged the earnest attention of the
meeting. The district was divided in-
to seven groups of three churches
each, for the purpose of carrying on a
simultaneous evangelistic campaign.
The details of the various schemes are
being worked out by tlae appointed
committee.
At the S. S. Convention in the after-
noon, the leading topic considered was
the rural school—its need, best
methods, how to make them the
greatest success. The speakers intro-
ducing the several topics were :—Rev.
G. W. Rivers, 13.D., of Ripley; W. M.
Pomeroy of Bervie ; David. Wren,
M.A., of Ethel and 0. W. McKenzie of
Wroxeter. The discussions following
the addresses were very general and
animated, the superintendents and
other representatives of the different
schools taking an interested part.
In the evenink the church was
crowded. Very prate -hie addresses
were given by Rev. Jos. H. Hibbert of
Gorrie on Adult Bible Classes, and by
Rev. F. 3. Oaten, Ph.D., of Brussels,
on S.S. Evangelism. The choir of the
Wroxeter church furnished an excel-
lent program of music and the meet-
ings throughout were most enthusias-
tic. ,Rev. De. Rutledge, the Chairman
ef the district, presided at all the ser-
vices. Mr. F. Buchanan was the dele-
gate from Wingham to the district
meeting.
Bat if eharity begins at home, no
true charity ever etops there. The
tnan who undertakes to bear his own
burdens, in the right spirit, will soon
hear the call to help some other man,
"For we are to bear one another's but. -
dens, and so fulfil the law of Chriet."
No man liveth unto himself. There is
a material dependence and. interde-
pendence; all are members one of an-
other. This is the genius of our fra-
ternal organizetions, as it is the spirit
of the christian church froth 'which
they eprupg. The ehurch ie likened
to a body. The body is not one mem-
ber, but many; the hand cannot say to
the foot, I have no need of thee. So
there must be sympathy and practical
benevolence. This is Clhristis great
law, and it may be expressed by one
word—love. By love serve one an-
other, for all the law is fulfilled in One
worclis even in this, "Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself." As this law
becomes universal, the world's prob-
lems will be solved, and "Man to man
the WorId o'er will brothers be mid,
rethat."

We need scarcely remind mar read-
ers that these are the dates of our
Fall Fair. The directors and officials
have done all they can to make the
Faie a success. It remains now with

favorable, we shall be able to report
a 'successful Fair.

Teeswater Whiskey. •
Last Wednesday, just as we had
gone to press word came of the raid
on a'eeswater hotels, For some time
Constable Plaippen had. been keeping
his eye on parties suspected of break-
ing the law, and he got Into cornmnni-
cation with Inspector Ayearst, who
with two detectives came up on 'Wed-
nesday of last week. The four officers
slipped into Teeswater quietly, and
apparently their mission was never
suspected. By the time they got to
Teeswater, the warm day and dusty
roads bad made them thirsty, and
two of them, hastened to the bar of
the yendome to quench their thirst.
They asked for a certain kind. of
liquid, and it was given them, and
was exactly to their taste. But while
they were enjoying the refreshing
drink, who should poke his nose in at
the side door but Phippere Of course,
"the fat was in the fire" at once, and
he seized the whole stock, Before the
alarm was given, the other hotels
were visited, and it is said an abun-
dance of liquid refreshment was found
that requires no analysis to give it a
name. The raid seems to have been
cutely planned and successfully car-
ried out. The cases come up for trial
in a short time:

Se iota Accident.
On Monday afternoon a serious acci-
dent happetted to Mrs. John and Mrs.
James McGee of East Wawanosh.
They had come to Wingham to ac-
company to the station some relatives
who had been visiting them, and were
about returning home. When near
Mr. Tennant's on John street, some-
thing caused the horses to give a jerk
to the vehicle, and the hied seat of
the democrat on which the ladies were
sitting, Was thrown backwards, and
the ladies fell on to the hard road
with great force. Mrs. James McGee
was found to have her collar bone
broken, and Mrs. also. McGee Was ren-
dered unconscious, having fallen on
her head, She remained unconscious
until the next morning. Before leav-
ing home, the clamps holding the seat
in its place were found secure; their
loosening by some means is responsi-
ble for the accident. Both ladies were
taken to the home dI Mr. R. S. McGee
of town and received every possible
attention. As we close our forMs, en-
quiry finds both ladies progressing
