Good audiences greeted the preacher, Rev. D. M. Solandt, B. D. and he brought timely and helpful messages to tine people, In the morn- ing under the theme "Christ's Su- premacy" he argued for this place to be given Him, since only by doing so the highest good could be attained both in the individual and society --In Christ alone is the .solution of the world's . problems. ' His evening discourse on "Life's Habits" was an appeal for the habit of withdrawing onetts self, as did Jesus, fpr quiet meditation and cont- : ntunion with the Heavenly Father. The choir acquitted itself very connnendably. in several special mus - I ical numbers, which were largely ap- ipreciated. The Board of Trustees express sat �isfaction with the financial success, Titus all together the anniversary services of 1921 were such as brought helpfulness to the congregation. The W. l't.

Tho Farmter's l tagazine in a recent issue bad the following, which seems to open up a new avenue - of usefulness for the "eup that cheers": "Most people in the country drink tea two or three times a day, It has becoine a fixed habit with- them and they would no more think of doing 'anything else with it than drink it than tabby would think of washing her face with her saucer of milk. In the government bull stable -at Clinton the other day Tone Cook and Charlie Lovett were discussing the possibility of successfully treating a young horse which belongs to Tom and which has suffered frons scours for some time. wIf - it were one .of these bulls that as sick I would know .what to do', remarked Charlie. 'Yes' agreed Tont, 'We'd- give him tea' Naturally I won- dered `how tea would be administered and what would be the correct dose for an adult bull. Such information might be useful at esnytime. "Strong tea, as strong as you can boil it, is what you want,' volunteered Tom, 'and you give them a good big drink; it won't hurt them and it'll' clean up the scours in short order;" Ac- cording to expert information it does not have the same beneficial action on horses, at least it has never been sufficiently tried out to warrant re- commendation. Now, right away you -see there is a new use for tea." SYNOD PROCEEDINGS. +The Synod of Huron in London last week again denied women the right to sit as delegates. - The motion to admit women on the same footing as nen was put by Mr. John Ransford of Clinton, who was the chief mover in the agitation which resulted in women being ad- mitted to the, vestries, and while on other occasions such a notion was never really' discussed seriously this time is was, only to be finally swamped under an- avalanche of neg- atives. There were really no arguments against the motion except the novelty of it and the evident desire of the men folk to keep the "Synod of Hur- on a man's place," One speaker said the women were not asking, for such a privilege. So if the women do want it they will have to cultivate more of an Oliver Trvtst spirit. An- other reason advanced was that the Layman's Association is just begin- ning to be an active force and this was the wrong time to introduce any- thing so radical. Evidently the members were of the opinion that if the women took on any more work the Wren kwould feel that they might safely leave et all • to them, Mr. Ransford was not much surprised, He evidently had an idea that he was in advance of his thee. for when leaving to catch his train he shook his f nger. at the assembly saying: "It is nothing but what I expected until you come to a sense of wis-• Glom three or four years from now. It will take you that time, but you will come to it". In speaking on his motion Mr. Ransforcl said: "After having fought for five years for their admission to the vestry it is nothing• to my mind but the logical, naturaii sequence that members of the vestry should beeome members of the synod . . I have yet to learn that the convul- sions prophesied by my dear breth- re 111 ecclesiastical ]natters when they, (the women) were admitted, into the vestries have taken place," The Rev. S. E. McKegney, who se- conded Mr, Ransford's motion, said Mr. Ransforcl had "no axe to grind, but that on the contrary he had suf- fered much from women having votes. Mr, Ransford got women votes in the vestry," continued Mr. McKegney, "and in our church we had a division of opinion on a heating system as to whether it should be steam or hot air. Mr. Ransforcl led the 'hot air' ,party and the women swamped it out of existence " Mr'. Meltegney went on to speak of the work of women in the church and of the resolu- tions passed by the Lambeth Confer- ence and in conclusion said: "Let us pot say: 'Put this off until next year and perhaps Toronto will take the lead.' •„Let us lead Toronto for once."„ But the S r: o a. t dw gnotrea I' ' dV t do y d tak cti n a o h evr r • e ow e e ardin • , tato g g admitting of ministers of other cle- nonnnatiohs to preach 10 Anglican pulpits, passing a resolution in favor of empowering its bishop to authorize clergy of other denominations to preach in pulpits of the Anglican Church and to allow his clergy to preach in other -pulpits under certain circumstances. Bishop Williams ex- plained that i1 was the intention to enter into such relations only with those comnmuniots which are leading in tine movement :ter churc'n tntion, While the cliseussiof was proceeding re ardin •this niterehan a of pre g g r, ach- g 1 ars Mr. Ransford asked "Could our yt lordship order a Presbyteiot minister for instance, to preach in 51..Paul's against the wishes of the rector." The Bishoin-•--"%lo". Mr, Ransford: "Then 'We ]rave the. further ealeguerel of the rector." ML�EETIN(a of 01.?FICERS, Ai meeting of the of i'eers of the Huron Regintont was held in Clinton on Wednesday afternoon of last week to arrange for the camp to be hold in London for nine days from June 10th. The officers present were; Lt. Col. Combe, Lt; -Col. Rance, Najois, McTagg'ant, Straw, 1)ftnlop, Herman and Captains Herrington, Sloan, Armstrong Rundle and Sturdy. MIGHT HAVE BEEN WIORSE, What might have been a 'serious accident 'occurred at the station on Saturday, Mr: James Connolly was at work on the Bayfield road with his grader, which had gone over the track anti turned around to come back, when a train, which had been` standing still, suddenly started and struck the tongue of, the grader for tunately missing both engine and grader. Mr. Connolly had just stepped down from the grader to speak to someone and the engineer, en seeing the train coming, jumped and escaped. , The tongue of the grader was smashed into splinters and other minor damage done but the escape was very fortunate for all concerned. AGAIN BEREAVED, The Goderieh Signal had . the fol- lowing to say o£; the death of the child of former residents of Clinton, whose funeral took place here last week: "The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carrick, ICineetot street, has again been bereaved, by the death on Sat- urday evening last of thetr daughter Edith, at the early age of eleven years. This is the fourth child they have lost inside of three years, and there is much sympathy with thein in their severe trials. Four• children —two girls "and two boys—survive. Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J, F. Rey - craft, assisted by Captain Bower of the Salvation Arnty, and the remains were conveyed to the Clinton cenre- tery for• burial, As the funeral pro- cession passed •.Victoria school the pupils lined up on either side of the procession in honor of their departed schoolmate, cut off so sadly in the springtime of her life." - A TRAGIC DEATH, A tragic death occurred on Satur- day evening at London when Mr. John Rice, formerly an esteemed resident of Clinton, was instantly killed by a train at the Hale street crossing. Mr. Rice had not been in good health and was out for a walls. He was seen to stop «beside the track and it is supposed that he took a fainting spell and fell beneath the train. He was dead before the train could be stopped. Mr. Rice is survived by his wife and otne son, Lloyd W., who served overseas and who has since been taking a course ant the Western Uni- versity. : The funeral took place on Tuesday at his o1d hone •in. Bowmanville, Mr. Rice resided in Cinton for years, where he was employed in tit Piano factory, For a time he wa organist in Wesley church. The fan ily were highly -esteemed and old friends here deeply spmpathize with Mrs. Rice and her son in their sudden and terrible bereavement. CLINTON BOY ELECTROCUTED. A message came about eleven-� thirty yesterday forenoon from Owen Sound stating that Emerson Libby. had been killed by a live wire. No par- ticulars were given. Mr. Frank C. Libby, Emerson's father, left innned- iate] f Y of Owen S u o nd, arriving in the middle of the afternoon. At time of writing, Thursday morning, no further particulars are at hand ex- cept what is contained in the follow- ing despatch to a London paper: "Owen Sound, May 18.—Em- erson Libby, a young man, 22 years old, son of the manager of the Clinton Knitting Company, Limited, was electrocuted about 11 o'colcic this morning in front of the Owen Souks Garage, on Ninth street. He was at work painting the front of the garage sand was of a trestle about 70 feet above the cement sidewalk. At the point where he was paint- ing an electric service wire goes into the garage, and apparently he touched a stnatll end of this wide, which points downward, while holding to a grounded iron pipe. For a few seconds he was helclfast to the wire and then dropped to the concrete sidewalk. Four doctors were called, but all that they could do to -resuscitate the electrocuted man wars of no avail. Mr, Libby, sr., was in Clinton h w e the ceiden n n toe- curred.” On the closing of the Owen Sound branch of the ICititting• mill Emerson was left to look after the property and haci apparently been employing himself as indicated when the fatal accident occurred, Iia was not yet eighteen years of age. Emerson was well known in Clin- ton, he having Colne to town with his grandpa rents as a little lad acid ]tad grown p here, IIe was a, 1lr1gh1 boy, full of life and spirits atter pos- sessod o:f many engaging qualities lr w rc tde • It of aced hrn l^ t t0 tla fllelld , s T eh sympathy is fart fat leis fnthi;r end grandfather in this suddern trial, The remains Will arrive on t1i Tato train tonight and the funeral takes place to noerow, b'irday afternoon, the. service to be held in St, Penile church at two o'clock, -. FO(JR SCORE AND ONE. Mr. William Harland, one of Clin- ton's esteemed residents, passed an- other milestone yesterday, completing his eighty-first year. Mr. Marland• was in business a great many years and .is still conneetecl with the firm of Harland Bros., although for the past few years he has not been tak- ing an active pert in the business, Congratulations and good wishes are extended. MISS TIIOSE FINE HORsps. - Mr. 0. L. Paisley's new motor oil tank is all right and no -doubt gets over the ground more quickly than. the fine grey team he useu to drive, but we miss that nice, slick span, nevertheless, "Lal" was a man to have a team of horses for he invar- iably kept them looking their very best, even when doing heavy and arduous work. A motor truck or an automobile is a very efficient vehicle but fee. real beauty to the eye there .is nothing that can take the place of a well -kept span of good horses. Here's to the horse, THE MILITARY CLERGY. The Rev. (Capt.) McKegney, M. C., .while attending the Synod iy London last week, had dinner one day with nineteen other members of the clergy who had served overseas, about half as chaplains, the other half in the ranks. It was a very informal: dinner but it was pleasant to- meet and to' talk over some of the eexper-. iences of the camp or field, although sone of the experiences were any- thing but pleasant. However, they probably chose the most pleasant ones when recalling them. The in- formal gathering is now an annual affair. REV. E. C-. POWELL DEAD. The Rev E. G. Powell of Lucan, who has been suffering from heart trouble for sone time, died on Tues- day. Mr. Powell was formerly a resident of Clinton, he having been for a couple of •years field secretary of the Huron Temperance Associa- tion with headquarters here. He left here to take the pastorate at Lucan three years ago and was invited to Essex for: the next pastoral term. He was fifty-three years of age and had been ordained twenty-three years. He is survived by his wife and a family of three sons and one daughter. The funeral takes place to Woodlawn cemetery, London• this afternoon. A NARROW ESCAPE. Mr, George Tomlin had a 'narrow "squeak" one day recently •while he was replacing telephone wires along Princess street, He went to draw a wire across an electric light wire when it "struck fire" and he was inn nediatehy laid low, 2200 or so volts passing through hhn. His rub- ber gloves were burned through and the energy entered his thumb and came out of his foot. But the gloves probably saved his life. George learned right there anti• then that electricity is nothing to play with and he will be even more careful in futtu'e than he has been. in the paste in handling wires, which he has to do a] n oe ver n ofte an Y t0 ons d s e disadvanta . ge A DARING ROBBERY. The other evening while Mr. anti Mrs, Clucas of St. Louis, former residents of Clinton, the latter being a sister of Mr. W. D, Fair, were out spending the evening, their house was ransacked and every- thing of value which could be easily removed was carried away. On their return Mt•. ande D)rs, Olucas; noticed that the house was li hted u i and all g t the blinds were drawn. They know something was wrong as they had left the hoose in darkness. On enter- ing it was soon discovered that un- bidden visitors had been in for all silverware, jewelery, good clothing, in fact everything valuable and eas- ily removed, had been stolen, with several suitcases and bags, which had no doubt been ;;sed to carry eft the booty, Ant entrance had been trade through a back door.

Dr. Crossley is well known in Clinton, having been here with Mr. Hunter several years ago and later conducting a series of union services in the two Methodist churches in town. GOVERNMENT LEASES MILL The Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa has leased for a period of two years the Clinton Flax Mill from Mr. Strothers, who recently purchas- ed it from Messrs. Merner Bros„ and will' operate in as a Demonstration Station. The 10111 at Ottawa was de-• stroyed by fire recently. Mr. Hutchinson, flax expert, who has but recently returned frons Eur- ope, where he had been looking into the flax situation, has been in town looking over the ground, securing land and getting it sown to flax for this season's crop, He left for Ot- tawa on .Friday but will be back later. The flax industry in Canada is just in its infancy and indications are that it.will grow to healthy pro- portions, despite the dullness• of the .market at present. The causes for this dullness are such as time will. remove. Inde d t e re r t n• po is a prase t seem to indicate an upward trend. DEATH OF JOHN JENKINS.
