42ND YEAR, NO. 21,
WING GAM, ONT., THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1914,
Hon, Thomas White
The Minister Of Finance
T'aa Minister of Finance for the Do-
minion of Canada represents in •biui-
self the ideal type of man wbo ought
to he in public life. He did not enter
politics far a profession but entered
the service of the state when he m ,de
a success -of the business to which he
heti previously devoted hie energits.
He was chosen for a high vocation et
the insistent and urgent demand of
his country and accepted the burden
of Cenadw'd financial responsibility at
a time when he was needed.
The eircumstances surrounding the
genesis of the political career of Hon,
Thomas White, tlinister of finante
will make an interesting chapter in
the political hietnrp of Oanada, which
will be labelled "The real birth of Can-
adian nationhood." It will be the
story of the defeat of the Reciprocity
Pact., when men irrespective of party
and close rose in their might and
emote the enemies of Canadian nat.
•tonality, Canadian prosperity and de-
velopement, In no place was the
= feeling for the safety of Canada more
keenly exhibited than in the city of
Toronto and a group of the leading
business men, who had a real stake in
Canada, but who had hitherto bean
Liberal in their political tendencies,
left the Laurier principles and stood
for those which bad in the past meant
for the greatness of the Dominion.
Among the brighest minds in that
group was the present lion. Thomas
White, who made an anti -reciprocity
speech in Massey Hall, Toronto, which
placed him high not only as a
sound, sane thinker but also as,
a patriot and an orator. That
speech is still discussed when men re-
late the stellar incident of the famous
1911 election. It is pointed out as an
example of political oratory imbued
with and breathing forth love of
country and British tile. There was
no ranting, noraving, no rambling It
was an impassioned purvey and a feat
of legal analysis. It breathed hope far
Canada advancing in her own path
and prophesied woo & want if allied to
tete iatet•eets of the Malted Stater.
The w.s t o b t:+rae s aad. Thornes
White that eight leapt into fame and
a demand went forth that the country
should have the benefit of his services.
And White heard the call, left hie vo-
cation like the Roman Senator of old
and is now guiding hie eoutry through
the shoals and shallows of universal
financial stringency.
It is safe to say, and that is the least
of it, that Thomas White has not dis-
appointed the hopes of his friends, In
deed he has more than justified them
in the House of Commons and our; of it,
which to the casual student t f political
affstre is surprising. When it is re-
membered that Mr. White has bees
accustomed to the methods of business

subject whatever, and when it id re-
membered that he had never any ,aro.

with hits on all sorts of 'natters he is
the most genial and unassuming of

he wants to learn all about everything
'o no one need be afraid to talk. He
has thus introduced a new principle
into the finance department which
previously had been hedged round

Twentieth Anniversary of Pastor of St. Andrews Church.
On Monday evening of this week, the Annual Congregational meeting of
the Presbyterian Church was held and in addition to the regular business
meeting, there was a program and refreshments were served by the ladies.
There'ivas a very large turn out to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the
Rev. D. Perrie'd induction as pastor of St. Andrew's. Church, The con-
gregation feels that in Mr. Perrie, they have one of the most able preachers,
that adorns the Presbyterian pulpit in Canada. The regard which the con-
gregation bas for its pastor can best be described by publishing the following
address, which was read by His Worship, Mayor Irwin.
Dear Pastor :—
On this the twentieth anniversary of your induction into the pastorate of
St. Andrew's Ohurcb, we desire to assure you of our unbounded reverence
and esteem, and gladly take this opportunity of congratulating you upon the
completion of so many years of faithful service as minister and friend.
We realize that the responsibilities incumbent upon every man are yours,
but also the dignity of your office has imparted a greater'solemness to your
lite. In your early life, you resolved, God helping you, to serve the Sao, ed
Ministry of His Cburcb, and through evil, as well as through good report, you
haye been faithful in the performance of all your offices. You have regarded
the words, "No man putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for
the Kingdom of Heaven." %Ve have ever been conscious of your secret walk
with God, and have felt the beneficient influence of the HoLy Spirit in all your
work, drawing us 'nearer, and holding us more closely to His Holy Life.
In your daily intercourse with the world, and more especially with your
congregation, your life has been exemplary, and worthy of our imitationefur
you have ever striven to ennoble and enrich the lives of others, by your.con-
secration to all that is highest and best in life. You have risen to the lofty
ideal of giving all in your power, and beyond your power, as freely as the
occasion demanded, thus copying the lavish profusion, which distinguishes
more of the bounty of God, good measure, pressed down, shaken together
and running over.
As a preacher of the Word of Life, you have exhibited remarkable talent
and rare skill, In these days, it is out of;the ordinary for a man to stand be-
fore the same congregation for twenty years, yet during all these years, you
have presented the deep truths of Scripture, and the matchlese Love of.,God
for man in forms ever fresh and full of inspiration, adapting them to the
varied needs of your hearers. Your ripe scholarship, your chaste and fluent
diction, your breadth of mind and largeness of heart, have won for you e
pre-erninence in "the Pulpit," which we pray you may be long spared to en-
joy, and use for the blessing of others.
"Would I describe a preacher, such as Paul,
Were be on earth, would hear, approve, and own,
Paul should himself direct me. I would trace
His master -strokes and draw from his design.
I would express him simple, grave, sincere,
In doctrine uncorrupt; in language plain,
And plain in manner; decent, solemn, chaste,
And natural in gesture ; much impress'd
Himself, as conscions of his awful charge,
And anxious mainly that the fl ick he feeds
May feel it too ; affectionate in look,
And tender in address, as web becomes
A messenger of grace to guilty wen:'
Your influence in our town has attained a remarkable eminence, and your
judgment upon public and moral questions, measures far beyond the pale of
your own congregation. Will you accept aur happy
felicitatione, V
,
therefore
may upon this happy occasion, and we pray that you and your Bard wife f m y be
long spared to go in and out among us, doing the Lord's work, and feeding his
flock, over which. he has placed you as overseer. We tiu.t that His grace
and peace may come more and more to you and that in your secret walk with
God, and in your intercourse with men, and in your holy ministration of God's
Word and Ordinance, you may realize the power of Him, who hath said, "I
will never leave nor forsake you." 'With Goldsmith, we could say :—
"Thus to relieve the wretched was bis pride,
And even his failings leaned to via thea side ;
But in his duty prompt at every call,
He watched and wept,bePra ed and felt,
for
all;
And, as a bird each fond endearment tries
To tempt its new fledged off -spring to the t;kies,
He tried with art, reproved each dull delay,
Allured to brighter woride, and led the way.
To them his heart, his love, his griefs, were given,
Bat all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven.
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form
Swells from the vale, and mid way leaves the storm,
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head,"
Signed on behalf of the Congregation of St. Andrew's Church.

injured Tobogganing. t..
While tobogganing on the hill on
the other side of the Grand Trunk
Railway bridge, in company with
three other girls, Jean, eldest daughter
of Mr. Richard Vanstotte, was serious-
ly injured. The girls had reached the
bottom of the hill and had just started
up the hill when some boys on another
toboggan collided with them, the front
of the toboggan striking Jean on the leg
and bruising it badly. We trust that
she will soon be fully recovered from
her injuries.
Thank -you Ladies.
The Elitor of the Advance wishes to
extend his heartfelt thanks to the
Ladies' Aid at Mohawk Cross Roade,
for intimating to his wife that he
should he properly fed, The Editor
has told his wife on different occasions
that the sympathy of the community
went out to him owing to his lean,
bageard condition, but he was not be-
lieved, The first meal after the
Ladies' Aid meeting was breakfast and
to the &liter's surprise he received
two-thirds of an egg instead of one-
half, as formerly, and everything else
in proportion,
Fire Alarm System.
When the Town Council installed
phones in the homes of each of the
firemen, they did sd that fires might
be fought as speedily as possible.
Whoever rings the fire bell in case of
fire should also telephone Central, an-
nouncing where the fire is so that
Central will be able to ring the fire-
men and tell them where they will be
needed. This will be a great saving of
time and might in many cases save
property. Manager Binkley is very
anxious that the Bell Telephone Cen-
tral should be given every opportunity
to do their utmost.
Debate.
One of the hardest contested debates
that ever took place in Salem was on
Tuesday t,
2 .inst., to the
evening the.. ud
'nsda
e
y
Methodist Church. The subject was
"Resolved that Napoleon was a greater
man than the Duke of Wellington.
The affirmative was upheld by Mr.
Dore and Mr. Weir, while the negative
was championed by Mr. Elliott and
Mr. Wm. Mines. The judges were
Messrs. Lackland, Gallagher and Mc -
Kerala Ewch
s eaker
EiersIe of Wroxeter.
P
was given twenty-five minutes and the
negative won. Mr. E liott debated
well, and it was generally conceded
by those present, that Mr. Wm. Mines
made the best address of the evening.
Mr. Mines is becoming quite a war-
horse in debates, having taken part in
several before. These debates are
profitable both to the debater and to
the audience and should be encouraged
in every locality. The proceeds were
given to the Forward Missionat y
Movement.
