The picnic given by the Bluevale
Literary Society last Wednesday was
a successful and enjoyable event ill
spite of the uncertainty of the weath-
er in the brat part of the day which
threatened to cancel the affair alto,
gether. It was found impossible on
account of the dampness to use the
picnic grounds which had been chosen
so the crowd gathered on the school
grounds in the village which proved to
be an excellent place for the after-
noon's sports, and as the sun came out
and shone brightly the rest of the day
there was nothing to mar the pleasure
of the occasion for the large number
of members and their friends wbo had
assembled, One of the leading fea-
tures of the picnic was a, baseball
match, between two teams of young
ladies, the Reds and the Blues, who
had been training regularly for solve
time, s0 the game was closely contest-
ed and aroused great excitement.
The score was 17-18 in favor of the
Rede. Dr, Ed, Coultes was umpire
and the line up was as follows:—
REDS BLUES
3F. Aitchison...'Pitcher.... L. McCall
M. Messer Catcher.... A, Spence

Another lively baseball match was
played between Bluevale and a team
from the 4th line of Morris which
resulted in a score of 121 in favor of
the home team. But the Bluevale
boys were not so fortunate in their
football game with Jamestown after
supper being defeated by the visitors
by two goals, Bluevale pot teing able
to matte a score, The athletic contests
run off during the afternoon under the
supervision of the sporting committee
provided a great deal of interest and
aniusement and the prizes were
presented to the winners after supper
by the lady members of the committee
as follows:—

The only incident to mar the plea-
sure of the day was the accident to
Mr. Earl Aitchison of Mount Forest,
who had come home to attend the pic-
nic, and in the football match between
Bluevale and Jamestown in which he
was playing on. the Bluevale team,
had•his shoulder put out of joint. He
was hurried to Wingham in Mr. Clif-
ford Pugh's automobile and although
the injury was painful he ie making a
good recovery. The accident will pro.

his teaming on a blazed trail to Lon-
don, the round trip taking nearly a
week.
Mr. Porter was in fairly good health
and his death came quite unexpected-
ly, On Friday his son, Richard, with
whom he lived, went to look for him
at dinner time and found him dead in
his room. Heart trouble apparently
was the cause. He was one of the
most highly respected citizens in the
township as was evidenced by the
large..funeral. Riverton Lodge, L. O.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
(Continued from page 1)
33. Oa motion of Councillor Patterson
and Reeve Mitchell was passed as read.
Moved by Oouncillore Currie and
Binkley that the olerk be iusttucted
to advertise for applications for a col-
lector of taxes for the year 1016.
Salary $75. and an extra $8 for postage.
The extra sa for postage more than
last year is necessary owing to the
extra war tax.
Councillor Currie drew the attention
of the council to the feet that several
parties were growing abundant crops
on'some of the streets and in some
cases had them fenced in. He thought
the town should derive some benifit
from them or else cultivate crops on
thein and thus help defray the amount
spent apnualty on charity, Reeve
Mitchell stated that there was a mot-
ion in the minutes of two or three
years ago instructing the chief to see
that these fences were taken down.
He also thought that the council
should get around and see what pro'
perty belongs to the town and wbo are
using same. On motion of Councillors
Binkley and Patterson the matter of
waste lands known as street property
was left in the hands of the street
committee to report as to value and
disposition of same.
On motion of Binkley and Currie the
back taxes owing the town for Some
years on Baker's business assessment
was struck off, as it was practically
uncollectable,
Reeve Mitchell brought up the
matter of making a grant to the Fire
Company should they not be able to
make their expegses at the Thorold
tournament. He also stated tLat
several other towns were granting
$50 and $100 towards helping their
firemen; he thought it would make
the town look progressive in the eyes
of strangers, if a grant was given to
the firemen. Councillor Carrie said
the firemen was one of the best assets
any town could have, but be did not
see where we could gain any financial
benifit from making them a grant.
Mayor VanNorman said the estimates
wore figured very closely and they
would have to be very careful. Bink -
ley said each fireman had given up his
last quarter's salary and he could not
see where the fireman -would . get the
benifit, he thought Wingham would
be benefitted if the boys made a name
in Thorold. If when they returned
and submitted a good true statement,
and found themselves in the whole,
Wingham should meet them at least
half way. Councillor Crawford who
was out of town and came in late said
he would gladly give $10 out of his
own pocket, but thought the town
could not afford to grant anything.
After due consideration the council
decided to not do anything toward
making a grant at present.
On motion of Councillors Patterson
and Currie the council adjourned to
meet on Friday evening, Angut 6 b,
when the applications for collector of
taxes will be dealt with.

RALPH CONNOR ON CHURCH
OF ENGLAND
The Rev. C. W. Gordon, (Ralph Con-
nor), pastor of one of the largest Pres-
byterian churches of Winnipeg, has
been preaching a series of sermons on
"The Creeds of Christendom,"Iiia first
subject was "The Treasures and In-
heritance of the Anglican Church." In
the course of an eloquent address, as
reported by the Winnipeg Free Press,
Mr. Gordon stated that cf all the
churches the Church of England was
easily the oldest. He said the Church
of England had existed from the be-
ginning of the Christian era, and le
older than the state and empire, and
for nearly 18,000 years has shown a
steady growth. • He reiterated the
historic fact that the Bishops of the
Church held their office by the lying
on of hands in an unbroken succession
from the Apostles, who received their
commission from Jesus Christ, The
preacher remarked that it was a pop-
ular idea that this Church is an out-
growth of the Church of Rome. "This
is not so", said Mr, Gordon. "The
Church had been for a period under
the influence of Rome but had always
been composed of men who fought
against papal authority." He said all
nonconformity sprang from the
Chnrch of England, while the finest
hymns and most inspiring music in
the world came from the members of
this communion. The greatest schol-
arship was seen here; to this Church,
said the preacher, we owe the Bible
as Well as the Prayer Book which was
a work worthy of being placed on a
par with the Bible. Ile spoke of the
simple faith of the members, and of
the beautiful places of worehip, the
beautiful prayers, the beautiful vest'
ments and service and hymnal, re-
marking in passing that the Anglicans
laid a marvelloue emphasis on prayer,
and that the non -conformists may
well sigh for the atmosphere of a
Prayer Book when they hear their ex,.
temporancits prayers jumbled and
poorly phrased. In recapitulating he
emphasized the beauty and dignity of
the eervice of the Anglican Ohurch,
stating tbat in the non•eonforming
churches much deponds oil the rain.
later in the pulpit, but In the Anglia
Church the people take a large part,
and ail In all preeent the world with
the truly beautiful Ohriet,
