AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Sunday last was missionary day in
the two Methodist. churches of, town.
In the morning the Rev. A. T.
Wilkinson, a returned missionary
form Japan, preached in Wesley
ohurch and Mr, W. G. Medd of Eic-
eter preached in Ontario street and
in the evening Mr. Wilkinson
preached in Ontario street church
and Mr. Medd in Wesley. On Mon-
day evening the Union mens' ban-
quet was served in the Wesley church
dining room, about two hundred area
• sitting down to the good things
served by the. members of the mis-
sionary societies of the two churches.
At the conclusion of the banquet the,
company gathered in the auditorium
to listen to the address of the Rev.
J. H. Arnnupt missionary secretary,
who delivered a masterly oration.
Mr. Arnup emulates the Apostle
Paul in that -he "is not ashamed of
the gospel- of Christ," which/ he is
not afraid to say is "the power of
•Gocl mite salvation,", not only of
the soul but of the whole man. Mr.
Arnup boldly claimed that
the missionaries were the
greatest civilizing force in the world
and said that the world rulers were
coming to recognize this and to work
side by side with them. He said the
gospel of Christ, that of love had
helpfulness and brotherliness, was
the only force that would end the
war and bring about the end now
sought after, that of a continued
world peace. Mr. Arnup has a world
vision and his address was a chal-
lenge to Chirstians to do their best
to spread their gospel throughout
the world:
Mr. Arnup was listened to with
rapt 'atttention by the large number
present. At the conclusion a vote of
thanks was extended, to him and al-
so a resolution of muff -donee in the
Missionary Board was unanimously
passed. Messrs. J. A. Irwin and C.
H. Hawke moved the former and
Rev. S. Anderson and Rev. T. J.
Snowdon the latter. Mr. R. E. Man.

FRIDAY'S MEEETING. '
The town hall 'Wig' doiwfortably
filled _ on Friday evening .last to hear
Mr. Thos. McMillan, Liberal candi-
date in South Huron, and Mr. James
Murdock, a former member of the
Board of Commerce and now Liberal
candidate in South Toronto. •
Dr. Shaw occupied the chair and
associated with him on the plat-
form, in addition to tire -speakers of
the' evening, were:' Dr. Gunn, J. L,
Kerr, H. Wiltse and W, H. Kerr of
Brussels and W, H. Robinson 'of
Goderich
Mr, McMillan was the first .speak_
er and was introduced by the •chair-
man in flattering terms, IIe began
by congratulating the women on the
fact that for the first time they could
in this election exercise their fran-
chise on the same terms r -s 'men.
.
He criticised the Government se-
verely for extravagance, citing as.
examples the taking over of 'the rail-
ways and the building of a merchant
marine, when the country had such
a huge debt. He said he was much
,in favor of giving the returned sol -
diet every consideration and .intimat
ed that if he were returned Ito Par-
liament he would . see that they had
it. He, however, spent a great deal
of his time in ,explaining his ' posi-
tion with regard to the U. F. 0.
He was not in favor 'of the farmers
going into politics; thought it was a
great mistake. But he said it was
explained to him that it was neces-
sary, us there were a great many Con-
servatives who were tired of their
party and as they would not vote for
Liberal principles under the nese
of Liberal they had to .be cannou-
iiaged somewhat. He did not think
that that was necessary and gave the,
impression that he was at "outs"
with the U. F. 0. 'un this question.
Mr, Murdock, who is a,deliberate
and forceful speedier; raked the
Government • "fore anti, aft" and, in
the -opinion of a number of Liberals
who rat in the vicinity of Tire News
Record; didn't leave it a leg to stand•
on. He referred to Premier Meighen
as "The Autocrat of Canada," but
he didn't find anything og very bad to
accuse him of, except that he would
`pertist in carrying on the Work of
the Government, He criticised the
'taking over and the management' of
the Canadian National Railways and.
the formation add the Work of the,
Merchant :Marine but he slid not say
what the Government should have
done in either case. He told of his
call to the Board of Commerce and
accused Hon. Mr. Doherty, Hon. Mr.
Ballast and ; • E. Fos-
ter
Sir Geor a Fos
y g
ter of fuetrating the work it might
have accomplished, He accused the
Government of being "under the
thumb" ;of the "Big Interests" and
intimated that if the Liberals were
returned to power everybody would
get his just due and the country
would prosper, He made a strong
bid, befrC concluding,
for the fat -
niers'
vote, pointing out that evoyt
thing they were asking for would be
granted by a Liberal Government.
Mr, Murdock spoke Ter over an
hon' without offering one really eon
structite criticism.

which falls upon the ear of peace-

,the fire alarm, and spend strength
and skill and courage in saving the
property of the citizens from loss
and harm, took it into their heads
to put on a' concert on Tuesd.y ,ev-
ening, The idea is to raise money
to purchase themselves uniforms,
for,- be it understood there is no
organization worth tits salt but is
proud of its organization and wants
to have some mark of distinction.
So this concert was put on and peo-
ple were asked to come out and pat-
ronize it and thus put .something in-
to . the coffers of the Flr'emeii. The
house was not as full as is should
have been in such a case, although
there was a fairly good attendance.
The .program was varied and en-
tertaining. The Phalen's Orchestra
had charge of the musical part of it
and the selections given were Much
appreciated ' and enjoyed. Master
Dorland Glazier•, son of the fire chief,
was the first soloist and Ire was
was heartily encored and gave a re-
turn number, Master Dorland is one
of Clinton's corning singers. Other
soloists were Miss Agnes Cullis, so-
prano, and Miss Grace Tremaine,
contralto, of Stratford, who sang
alone a couple of times each and al -
se 'sang a duet very sweetly, and
Messrs. Chas. Cook and Bert Pot-.
ter of Clinton, who were each well
received and responded to encores,
Messrs. E. and C. Cook put on an
amusing little comedy, Mr. E. Cook
did the "Highland Fling" which
made everybody laugh, Miss Smith
' of the C.C.I. staff' gave a couple of
dances, Mr. M. Agnew --gave a cornet
solo end altogether -the program was
of a ;varied and entertaining nature.
Mrs. Morgan Agnew and
Mr
.
Phalen played piano and violin ac-
coniannents for the performers
during 'the evening.

"I suggest, too," eMr. O'Connor
asserted, "that it would not

tempted 'to do -it, for I weuid
