DR. PRINGLE HERE.
On .Monday evening, in connection
with the anniversary. of Willis
church, the Rev. Dr, Pringle, Mod-
erator of General Assembly, gave
a lecture. No, not a lecture. The
genial Doctor objects to that term.
It was just a talk entitled "Stories
of the Frontier and the Front."
There was a good attendance pres-.
ent and the chair was occupied by
the pastor, the Rev. J. E. Hogg. Be-
fore Dr. Pringle was introduced Miss
Katie Reekie of Dutton gave some
very charming selections on the pi-
ano and a quartette consisting of
Messrs. Lowe and Roberton and Miss
Stewart and Mrs. McMurchie sang. -
Dr. Pringle objects to the terns
"lecture" as applied to his platform
performances and indeed the terns
scarcely seems to fit his intimate,
friendly and altogether informal
talks, in which he "gets next" his
heaters and tells them stories which
take them in spirit .to the scenes
which he describes, scenes in the far
north land, where he spent twelve
years, and the war lands, where he
served as chaplain during the war..
Dr. Pringle' is what might be
termed, in the language of the street,
"a good mixer." But he is far. more
than that: Ile is a big-hearted, sym-
pathetic, human, Christian man, one
who can eater into the feelings and
appreciate the view point of the
"other fellow."
His stories of the trail revealed
much of the hardship under which
frontiersmen labor in manning these
outposts of civilization. He told the,
story of one day on the trail, from
the moment he awakened at four -
thirty in the morning, following the
trail all day, until the middle of the
afternoon, when the sunlight fails
and camp is made, until he fell
asleep singing, 'as he did for nearly
twelve years, "Sun of My Soul."
' He told the story of reaching a
settlement one evening and of his.
joy and delight at the sight of two
little girls playing outside their cab-
in home. Children are so • rare in
that far north land of rigid winters.
On reaching a certain camp one day
he was told that there was a baby in
camp. He thought it was a papoose,
of course. "But no. it wasn't a pa-
poose,' 'he. was told. "Mrs. Hunter
had a baby." So as soon as he could
he went down to the cabin of the
Hunters, a colored couple, to see the
baby. "I went in," said Dr. Pringle,
"and there sat Mrs. Hunter nursing,
her baby of three weeks. A tiny
baby as black as coal, all shining
with blackness and little kinky curls
all over its head. A beautiful baby,
As I took it from her arms she said
proudly, 'that is the first white child
born in this camp' I just smiled at
that," he continued, "and stooping
over kissed the little black face and
the mother said, 'I'm sure fifty men
have kissed that baby during the
past three weeks.' Nothing touches
the hearts of those men, so far re-
moved from hone influences" he
added, • "like the sight of a little
child;'
He told of Ianiding at a camp one
Saturday evening and going into a
restaurant for his supper and paying
$1.50 for it. "It seemed a big price
to pay for one meal," he said, "for
I could live for three days on that
cooking my own meals, but the land-
lord didn't .make very much out of
me that time for I did my best to
get the worth of my money. After
supper 1 asked the landlord if I could
hold services in his restaurant the
next day 'What sort of services?'
asked the landlord. "Religious ser-
vices of course," replied Dr. Pringle.
"well, I don't know," returned the
landlord, doubtfully, looking his
questioner over. Dr. Pringle laugh-
ed. "Oh, I know I don't look much
like a preacher," said he, But if a
man is lilco a preacher inside it does-
n't matter so much what he looks
like outside. My name is Pringle
and I'd like to be able to talk to the
boys tomorrow." "Oh, you're Pringle,
are you?" returned the landlord, re-
lieved. "I've heard the boys speak
of you and of course you can have
my house and I'll fix it up as well
as 1 can for aservice" "The next
day when I came for the service,"
said Dr. Pringle, "I couldn't get in
until 80510 of the men cane out, so
jammed was the piece. I never • had
any difficulty about getting the men
to come to church; • be added and,
paying a tribute to the men of the
north land, he said: "They are the
finest class of sten I've ever met"
Dr. Pringle also told of some of
his experiences while serving as a
chaplain at the front. He spoke of
his sons, who was homesteading in
the Peace River District when war
was declared and who walked five
hundred miles to Edmonton to enlist.
He went overseas a8 a private and
was promoted to serjoant and then,
to lieutenant. He was killed in the
battle iif the Somme;
He paid a high tribute to the emir-
age-sed
mir-age noel bravery of the boys and in
closing said: "They have not 00100
home to create 'p noble nC

SPOROtS DQ.Y AT LONDON.
A large number of the Collegiate
students, teachers and friends went
to London on Monday to attend the
Western ,Ontario Inter -Collegiate
Field Sports. The local students took
part in almost all the events but
failed to bring hone any prizes. Fred
Wallis won third place in a pole-
vaulting' contest and the relay team
also won third place, so, considering
the number competing, they did
pretty well. Sarnia Collegiate car-
ried off most of the prizes. A large
number were present and it was con-
sidered a most successful day.
161st COLORS DEPOSITED.
Ont. St. Church
League Service was held - last
Tuesday evening, Mr. Silas McFauls
having charge of the meeting. The
Misses Walker favoured the Leaguere
with an instrumental duet which was
followed by a duet by Miss M. Gib-
bings and Miss E. Wiltse. The top-
ic for the evening was rendered
most excellently by Mt McF awls,
Willie Church
Large audiences ,greeted Rev. Dr.
Pringle at the anniversary services -
in Willis Chu hi last Sunday.
'n He drew frons his own wide exper-
ience many incidents by which he
illustrated„ and enforced his dis-
courses. In the morning he em-
phasized the value of anniversary
services, which he aptly illustrated
by an ascent he had made up a
mountain path to an eminence. From
this he could yiew all the way ho
had journeyed and see all the places
of difficulty and of ease or of fail -
are incl of success. But from the
• sane eminence he looked forward
to the still more arduous path and
steeper ascent. So a congregation
in its anniversary services looked to
its future with fuller consecration
thereto.
In the everting he read as Inc
Scripture lesson the three parables
from the 15th chapter of Luke
Front those Parables he took Jesus
as his 'example and authority for
relating throe incidents. The point
he emphasized was the natural ten•.•
dewy of the human heart to long for
its own dear ones. Even so the
human heart naturally yearns for
the divine rather.
The special music by the choir at
both services was well rendered end
highly ait
reeiat0d.

the church by the combined bands of

ancient tradition the officer conn-'
mending knocked three times on the
church door with his -sword and was
admitted by the churchwardens, who
escorted the colors to the chancel
steps where the Bishop of Huron re-
ceived theta from the hands of Lt. -
Col. Combe - and placed them upon
the communion table. The church
was crowded and the congregation
arose while the first verse of the na-
tional anthem was sung. Bishop

mon.

day. A number as usual, went fon
a day's fishing to Bayfield or other
points where the finny tribe abound
and some just stayed at home and
mowed the lawn.
TII'E CHAIN -PRAYER. '
A Clinton lady has handed us the
following' which she received through
the mail the other clay from it neigh-
boring town:
"Endless sailors' prayer—'0h God,
we implore thy blessing on our sail-
ors and 'soldiers. Keep them in the
hollow of thine hand' I received this
on May 18111• It has been all around
the world. Copy it and see what
*happens. It is said all who copy it
will be taken care of and all who do
not will receive some disapointment,
Send it to some married woman and
on the seventh day you will receive
some great joy. Start the day you
see this and write one each day for
seven days. De not bneak the chain."
Of all foolishnesses the "Chain -
Prayer" brand is one of tate most
childish ants silly. It is a wonder it
doesn't die a natural cioath for lack
of anybody to keep it up and that it
doesn't seems to prove that we are
very far indeed form being a race
of intellectuals.. A well-known Brit-
ish preacher is quoted as saying in
regard to this: "I do not hesitate
t0 say that the whole practise is
superstitious and unchristian. 11 is
not a prayer at all; it is he more
prayer than is the turning of the
Buddist prayer wheels, It does noth-
ing but play upon the fears and sup-
erstitions of nervous and timid
people. I hope none of my people
will 0noourrage what is nothing lose
g g
than a pernicious practise, For my-
self, I pttl% exery such request; straight
into the waste -paper basket;"
WASN'T OUR FAULT.
Nol The News -Record didn't keep
a man sitting on the roof all fore-
noon yesterday hurling bricks down
on passers-by We merely had some
ooh repairing a noof which the wind
had damaged and if any foolhardy
pedestrain ignored the rope 'barriers
and walked past when the brieks
were flying and got struck we're
sorry but he dial it at his owls risk.
HAD NARROW ESCAPE. !
The Toronto Star of Saturday,
says: "While driving his brand new
Limousine along King Street west
this morning, Mr. J. P, Tisdall got
jammed between' a west bound King
car and a standing automobile and
escaped uninjured. The street car
and limousine were both injured."
Mr. Tisdall is a former well-known
resident of Clinton and was the first
citizen, of this' town to own and
drive a car. •
HONOURS AND A MEDAL.
G. Russet Harland of Guelph, eld-
est son of Mr. • W. J. Harland form-
erly of Clinton passed with honours
his final examination in connection
with the School of Pharmacy last
