Anyone sending in a communication not so signed need not be surprised at its non-ap- pearance, THE EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS, For. the past week and a half Meth- odists of the town ' and , surrounding vicinity have greeted Rev. Dr. Han- ley and Mr. Fisher with full eongre,- gations, Not only, the Methodists but many members of the other denominations are taking an interest in the meetings, Dr. Hanley is an eloquent, fluent and convincing speaker. He bas many phrases and methods of expression which aro characteristic of American orators. Ile possesses a musical voice which enables himto give ne vivid descriptions of various inci- dents fn his career as a preacher and chaplain. He has great tact in us- ing, illustrations "to drive home" the idea about which be is speaking. Dr. Hanley is a real modern preacher. It appears that he does -not believe in abstract theories and creeds on which the Church is at the present appar- ently based but rather believes that the one essential for the Church is the realization of the fact that Christ died for the redemption of mankind, Dr. Hanley believes in the application of the principles of Chris- tiania; to the economic and social world. He asserts that unless the church wields its great influence in Canada and the United States, the inevitable result will be chaos and anarchy, Professor Fisher, who leads the song service, is a singer- of exception- al ability, Before joining Dr. Han- ley's an- le - art itlr- s s Fisher, was ten • •t e years 3 party, e 3 with Billy Sunday, who declared that he contributed in no small degree to the success which he achieved in the American cities. Mr. Fisher is sup- ported by a large union choir which adds greatly to the enjoyment of the meetings. On Friday night last Dr. Manley preached a very eloquent and inspir- ing sertnon on __"Religion in the Home." "Home is the foundation of the nation and religion is the foun- dation of the home" is one of ' the great statements which Dr. Hanley made, "You cannot buy a 'hone, you must develop it and any home without religion will be a failure" is another of Dr. Hanley's "sparks from the anvil." He gave several il- lustrations to show that although some families had everything that wealth could obtain, they did not have a real home because they lack- ed religion and mutual love. Last Sunday Dr. Hanley preached a grand sermon on "'Remember," He stated three facts which are . neces- sary for the people of this world, "Remember God," "remember Jesus Christ," "remember that you must remember." He pointedtout how the haughty Pharoah, the domineering and autocratic Caesars, the atheistic Napoleon and the blasphemous Iais- er with all their power and might, had been swept away and God alone remains supreme.. In the afternoon he addressed a full congregation on the subject, "Stale Saints.",.Every man is God's signboard in this world is the great fact which Dr. Hanley tried to im- press, F declared that a stagnant pray , Io g church was a curse to any commun- ity. nse accused the Church of being sinstitutionIn t progressive the .leas p ro g the world and unless the Church be- came progressive and grappled with the great economic and social prob- lems of the day, the end would be as chaotic as Russia or Germany, He claimed that tbe Cluurch was too narrow, negative and supercritical. of n a foundation It was ba sed o "don'ts." He declared that not un- til the Church had proper amusements to furnish the young people, would they forsake the ballroom; theatre and other questionable amusements. On Sunday evening Dr. Hanley preached on the subject "Pilate Be- fore Christ." .He said that be -did not judge Pilate severely e]y because h e was the product of his environment. He showed holy the young ung oftoday ate the product of their environment and up bringing and pointed out to the fathers and mothers the great duty._ they have in shaping the that. actor and temperament of their chil- dren. He declared that sooner or later every one had to face the judg- nient seat of God and face the mis- deeds done in the flesh. It is the duty of everyone to neonate because there Will lie no opportunieles for ex- cttses or for reformation, Dr, Hanley's sermons are essential- ly practical.

Harry, the little two and a half months' old son of Sergt, J, and Mrs. Miner, passed away, on Wednes- day. last alter an illness of several weeks. The funeral took place on Thursday. The event was rendered more sad by the fact that the father was absent from home, having left for the west only a few weeks ago, before the babe's illness was considered so serious. Sympathy is felt- for the bereaved motherin her sorrow. MORE SOLDIERS HQME, Pte. Fred Ford, son of Mr, John Ford, returned from overseas on Sat- urday. On Monday evening I Pte. Ernest Britton, son of Mr. T. E. Britton, and his wife, whom he married in England, arrived home. Both sons and their father are now home, hav- ing all three served in France and all escaped without a scratch, Both these soldiers were given a warm welcome by the band and citi- zens. THE CITIZENS' BANQUET. About fifty representative citizens sat down to a banquet In the council chamber on Tuesday evening, and ample justice was done to the excel- yent spread -put on by Caterer 'Bart - Mayor Cooper occupied the head of the table. When the meal was over a number of addresses on natters pertaining to the welfare of the town were discussed., "The Housing Prob- lem" was taken up by Judge An- drews, who thought something could be done in Clinton in the way of a co-operative company subscribing to a fund for the building of houses for. sale or rent and in the Board of Trade meeting laer a res olutionv. ts passed appointing a committee to look into the Government's housing scheme and report. Dr. Shaw spoke on "Civic Im- provement," confining bis remarks for the most part to the need of new school buildings. Dr. Shaw's oPin- ions on this question aro pretty well known but he took the opportunity of impressing upon the citizens pres- ent that the present Public school building was most unsuitable, heat- ing, lighting and ventilation being abominable. "Clinton has good nat- ural advantages," said 1)r. Shaw, "and if we set about it we can make it the very rose of Huron county." Mr, C. D. Bouck took up the ques- tion of "Town Beautifying," and spoke of improvements which could be wrought by citizens if each one would undertake the work of putting his own property into geed shape and of the large part the horticul- tural Society was .going to play dur- ing the coming summer in improving certain public properties. Mr. J. W. Treleaven's subject. was. "Suggestions to the merchants from a customer," and it was handled with skill t andflit "The "ecu ab yobi of the merchant is to make money," said -he, "and in order to do that he mustt e customers." at n t c tenet . Some of r the suggestions were : one price to all, courtesy to all patrons ; local advertising ; co-operation amongst the merchants ; the terming of a merchants' league; the avoidance of ruts. Mr, H. R. Sharp spoke on "How can we make our town attractive ?" He suggested the going about time work in a systematic manner and making the town so sttractive that people would be impelled to come here to do their trading. One thing b which i was sure wouldprove a v hton attraction was a comfortable rest room, with conveniences, where those who aro shopping in town might feel free to go and rest and feel at home, "We aregood at starting things s bnt not so goodat iinishing them,", said Mr. Sharp. "We need community system." "The p'arnfer's Viewpoint," was the subject of Mr. N. W. Trewartha's address. While he said he was not contidcred a farmer by many of the craft, who called hint a "white -shirt farmer," he; thought he understood fairly' r l well, farmers viewpoint a Y w 11. Some a farmers held very extreme views, he said, and thought they could get along without the town tradesman, but for the most part farmers were men of moderate views who were anxious to trade with their, own towh. IIe thought there should be more of the community spirit and more co-operation between towns- people and fanners. Mr. C. F, Libby took up the ques- tion'01 labor. Ile said the Company of Which ire was manager round it very dimcuit to obtain help and Hutt When help had been,, obtained from outside and brought'in it 'was poeeible to keep it owfhg to the dif- ii ,tit le boarding it 'f obtain' s ab b fico 0 Y g B s It was imposs- iblelodging hearses. g B uses. to build up large manufacturing plants without sufficient help, Each to the speakers was listened to with attention Mill it is hoped Bret much fruit in civic imptcvenent nay, remit froiif the gathering, , COL, McCIIIMMON FIERLE.

A bylaw is being sub- mitted to tlie people of Ilensall' en- dorsing the agreement between the municipality and the Company and if passed the Company will begin op- erations there. It is found imposs- ible to obtain sufficient help in Cain - ton to enable this industry to devel- ope as fast here as it might do oth- erwise. DR, CODY; COMING TO CLINTON. Dr.. Cody, Minister of Education for Ontario, will visit Clinton on Tuesday next. Dr. Cody, who will be in Goderich on Monday, will arrive in Clinton by motor during the forenoon. He will visit the Public school and the Col- legiate, eat luncheon in the town hall with a number of the of- ficial and prominent citizens at noon and will afterwards address a mass meeting, leaving for 'Toronto on the 1.52 train' The mass meeting will commence at 12.45. lb must of necessity be 'short but there should be a good represen- tation of people from town and sur- rounding community, those who are interested in educational work f the d o 0 the Province, to bear what Dr. Cody has to say. It is sure to be interest- ing. AMONG THE CHURCHES. On Sunday morning, in connection with the evangelistic campaign, a union service will be heldin' Ontario street church; especially for elderly people. Dr, Hanley will speak on "The Twilight of Life." In the afternoon tietc will be a union S.S. rally in Wesley church and in the evening a meeting for men 00- ly in Wesley church, addressed by Dr. Manley, his subject being "White Blackbirds", and a meeting for wom- en en1y in Ontario street church ad- dressed by Rev.

The t pastor will preach at both services', Willis Church The nth anniversary of the found- ing of Willis church was held on Sun- day last, The services were in charge of the Rev. A. H. Cameron, D.D„ pastor of Immanuel church, Detroit. Although Dr, Cameron graduated from an. American college and has done all his ministerial work in the United States, he has a strong afection for Canada, the land of his birth. A native of Nova Scotia Dt. Cameron shows his ap- preciation of his native country by always spending his summer vaca- tion on this side of the line. He. is a man of strong personality and during fifteen years' eatsDetroith service in s a acquired an outstanding •position of influence there. The subject of Dr. Cameron's morn- ing sermon was "The . Church and her Mission," founded on the 4th verse of the 87th psalm. In the ev- ening ev- ei � g It eelOsO as his text, the 27th verse of 22nd -chapter of Luke ; the gist of his address being "The value of service in the Christian life," Both discourses wore delivered in a clear, definite way and the simple, e1l � chosen words held an earnest appeal, At both services a full choir ren- dered' exceptionally good d usfcun- der the leadership of the organist,, Miss Torrance, The contribution for the day amounted to a very satlsfaotory fig- ure and though no special appeal had been made by the financial managers, the collection represented about $542, United and hopeful, the cottgroga- Boit starts upon, 011045er decade, feeling that the success of the past year liar been due in large part to time earnestr eftn is andbo d leader- ship B a ship of the pastor.

From Me Victoria, (B.C,) Daily Tithes, dated liiay Ind, we copy the following marriage notice, the bride being a former Clinton girl, daughter of the late Richard Heywood : "At Holy Trinity church, Seattle, on Saturday last the marriage was solemnized by the Rev. J. Bliss of. flliss M A. Heywood of Victoria and Robert Brock of Seattle. The bride was charmingly gowned in navy 9 i s blue cloth with h �e tee PDelft blue o with which she wore a smart blue sailor hat trimmed nith French flowers, Instead of carrying the cus- tomery bridal bouquet she ` wore a corsage bouquet of pink roses. Mr. and Mrs. Brock have taken up their residence at tbe Lafayette Apart- ments, Seattle." Before her marriage bliss Heywood was for over seven years in the em- ploy of Gordon's Ltd., Victoria, and as a wedding present was presented by the firm and her colleagues with a handsome case of Community sil• ver. Miss . Heywood's Clinton friends will waft good wishes and con,.;ratu• lotions to her in her far -away home, COLLEGIATE NO'T'ES. • The following report of the inspec- tion of the C.I. cadets has been hand- ed in by a member of the corps and is worthy, your perusal. The boys evidently need uniforms : On 'Tuesday last Lt. -Col. McCritu- mon inspected time cadets at the C. C. I. The boys marched out and paraded before him, to his great de- light, it is hoped, and also to their own, for the tettiperature was quite a few degrees higher than that of an icehouse. They marched by corneae - ins by platoons and by sections, in d exceeded order, order an s e e did everything, in fact, in a proper and soldierly manner. When tbey had marched su0lcipntly, they were led into the gymnasium, where guns, hats and belts were laid aside. Then they went out into the blazing May stmshine, prepared to do honor to the school or Ole in tale attempt. Formed up in four lines, our athletic youths did all possible stunts ill the the wayn physical ssica 1 cul- Y ture, and a few impossible ones. Their commander spoke for all when he exclaimed, "1071 get this right or bust a shoe -lace." After this, Col. McCrimmon spoke a few words to the cadets, oomph - Meeting them an the way they had done the work, which, he said, was much better than he had expected so early in the season. He regretted that they had not complete uniforms, saying that these added mttait to the, appearance of a corps, and that the Clinton corps, certainly doserved tient, as they weryr.a credit both to the school and the town. At present Me remnants of uniform worn by the .belt, cadets consist of hat and .be f , u I n ess you include the gun, and there is all the difference between a uniformed corps and a corps without uniforms, that there is between an army and a tr inoi mob, Clinton has a Cll t Y Band, why not a I(itty Cadet Cotes ? It would, I believe, he the first of its kind in Ontario, and would be a fine proof of the progressive, wide-awake spirit of Clinton., The corps already has two pipers and a deetemer, and would be a credit and source of pride to • the whole town—probably the whole empire. Think it over. Col, Ranee also spoke to the boys, emphasizing the importance of stead - Mon and the desire il- foss in lute to b n , nd miiitar drill for. i fphysicals rya Y all High school boys, and of physical drill for the girls. After three acerb for Col. McOrin- Merl acid Col, Rance, `bite cadets wore dismissed, end made a raid on the dri eking fOuntaihs.

The News -Record a few weeks ago gave voice to the suggestion that it Wright be a good plan if the county; council moil she [d..: m u , stead of establish - leg g one large county memorial hos- pital, tusdertake the maintainance of, t• least a as t mater all increase n ase y ere the grants to, the hospitals already y es- tablished, We slid not commit ourselves to time idea, but merely put it forward as a suggestion as a committee is: considering the ]natter and will re- port at the June meeting of the, c ueii, 0 Tnhere are several things to be said in favor of both ideas suggested. If the county council will undertake to establish, equip sand maintain a mem- orial hospital for all time to conte then of course the one large hospital in a central location, would seem to • be Duly hing, haex- pensalsoes wouldtbst snsaTliere, theoverhecosdt of proper ec us nent would be fess, and the probability of having a really; .first class hospital would seem to be more reasonable. On the other hand,. if the council will only allow a cer- tain yearly grant it might be hotter to divide that grant amongst the several hospitals already established in the county. _ Huron is a largo and wealthy coun- ty and it 'ought to be able to afford better hospital accommodation for its people than it does at present.

Harry, the little two and a half months' old son of Sergt, J, and Mrs. Miner, passed away, on Wednes- day. last alter an illness of several weeks. The funeral took place on Thursday. The event was rendered more sad by the fact that the father was absent from home, having left for the west only a few weeks ago, before the babe's illness was considered so serious. Sympathy is felt- for the bereaved motherin her sorrow. MORE SOLDIERS HQME, Pte. Fred Ford, son of Mr, John Ford, returned from overseas on Sat- urday. On Monday evening I Pte. Ernest Britton, son of Mr. T. E. Britton, and his wife, whom he married in England, arrived home. Both sons and their father are now home, hav- ing all three served in France and all escaped without a scratch, Both these soldiers were given a warm welcome by the band and citi- zens. THE CITIZENS' BANQUET. About fifty representative citizens sat down to a banquet In the council chamber on Tuesday evening, and ample justice was done to the excel- yent spread -put on by Caterer 'Bart - Mayor Cooper occupied the head of the table. When the meal was over a number of addresses on natters pertaining to the welfare of the town were discussed., "The Housing Prob- lem" was taken up by Judge An- drews, who thought something could be done in Clinton in the way of a co-operative company subscribing to a fund for the building of houses for. sale or rent and in the Board of Trade meeting laer a res olutionv. ts passed appointing a committee to look into the Government's housing scheme and report. Dr. Shaw spoke on "Civic Im- provement," confining bis remarks for the most part to the need of new school buildings. Dr. Shaw's oPin- ions on this question aro pretty well known but he took the opportunity of impressing upon the citizens pres- ent that the present Public school building was most unsuitable, heat- ing, lighting and ventilation being abominable. "Clinton has good nat- ural advantages," said 1)r. Shaw, "and if we set about it we can make it the very rose of Huron county." Mr, C. D. Bouck took up the ques- tion of "Town Beautifying," and spoke of improvements which could be wrought by citizens if each one would undertake the work of putting his own property into geed shape and of the large part the horticul- tural Society was .going to play dur- ing the coming summer in improving certain public properties. Mr. J. W. Treleaven's subject. was. "Suggestions to the merchants from a customer," and it was handled with skill t andflit "The "ecu ab yobi of the merchant is to make money," said -he, "and in order to do that he mustt e customers." at n t c tenet . Some of r the suggestions were : one price to all, courtesy to all patrons ; local advertising ; co-operation amongst the merchants ; the terming of a merchants' league; the avoidance of ruts. Mr, H. R. Sharp spoke on "How can we make our town attractive ?" He suggested the going about time work in a systematic manner and making the town so sttractive that people would be impelled to come here to do their trading. One thing b which i was sure wouldprove a v hton attraction was a comfortable rest room, with conveniences, where those who aro shopping in town might feel free to go and rest and feel at home, "We aregood at starting things s bnt not so goodat iinishing them,", said Mr. Sharp. "We need community system." "The p'arnfer's Viewpoint," was the subject of Mr. N. W. Trewartha's address. While he said he was not contidcred a farmer by many of the craft, who called hint a "white -shirt farmer," he; thought he understood fairly' r l well, farmers viewpoint a Y w 11. Some a farmers held very extreme views, he said, and thought they could get along without the town tradesman, but for the most part farmers were men of moderate views who were anxious to trade with their, own towh. IIe thought there should be more of the community spirit and more co-operation between towns- people and fanners. Mr. C. F, Libby took up the ques- tion'01 labor.

He will visit the Public school and the Col- legiate, eat luncheon in the town hall with a number of the of- ficial and prominent citizens at noon and will afterwards address a mass meeting, leaving for 'Toronto on the 1.52 train' The mass meeting will commence at 12.45. lb must of necessity be 'short but there should be a good represen- tation of people from town and sur- rounding community, those who are interested in educational work f the d o 0 the Province, to bear what Dr. Cody has to say. It is sure to be interest- ing. AMONG THE CHURCHES.

Cameron shows his ap- preciation of his native country by always spending his summer vaca- tion on this side of the line. He. is a man of strong personality and during fifteen years' eatsDetroith service in s a acquired an outstanding •position of influence there. The subject of Dr. Cameron's morn- ing sermon was "The .

In the ev- ening ev- ei � g It eelOsO as his text, the 27th verse of 22nd -chapter of Luke ; the gist of his address being "The value of service in the Christian life," Both discourses wore delivered in a clear, definite way and the simple, e1l � chosen words held an earnest appeal, At both services a full choir ren- dered' exceptionally good d usfcun- der the leadership of the organist,, Miss Torrance, The contribution for the day amounted to a very satlsfaotory fig- ure and though no special appeal had been made by the financial managers, the collection represented about $542, United and hopeful, the cottgroga- Boit starts upon, 011045er decade, feeling that the success of the past year liar been due in large part to time earnestr eftn is andbo d leader- ship B a ship of the pastor.

The boys evidently need uniforms : On 'Tuesday last Lt. -Col. McCritu- mon inspected time cadets at the C. C. I. The boys marched out and paraded before him, to his great de- light, it is hoped, and also to their own, for the tettiperature was quite a few degrees higher than that of an icehouse. They marched by corneae - ins by platoons and by sections, in d exceeded order, order an s e e did everything, in fact, in a proper and soldierly manner. When tbey had marched su0lcipntly, they were led into the gymnasium, where guns, hats and belts were laid aside. Then they went out into the blazing May stmshine, prepared to do honor to the school or Ole in tale attempt. Formed up in four lines, our athletic youths did all possible stunts ill the the wayn physical ssica 1 cul- Y ture, and a few impossible ones. Their commander spoke for all when he exclaimed, "1071 get this right or bust a shoe -lace." After this, Col. McCrimmon spoke a few words to the cadets, oomph - Meeting them an the way they had done the work, which, he said, was much better than he had expected so early in the season. He regretted that they had not complete uniforms, saying that these added mttait to the, appearance of a corps, and that the Clinton corps, certainly doserved tient, as they weryr.a credit both to the school and the town. At present Me remnants of uniform worn by the .belt, cadets consist of hat and .be f , u I n ess you include the gun, and there is all the difference between a uniformed corps and a corps without uniforms, that there is between an army and a tr inoi mob, Clinton has a Cll t Y Band, why not a I(itty Cadet Cotes ? It would, I believe, he the first of its kind in Ontario, and would be a fine proof of the progressive, wide-awake spirit of Clinton., The corps already has two pipers and a deetemer, and would be a credit and source of pride to • the whole town—probably the whole empire. Think it over. Col, Ranee also spoke to the boys, emphasizing the importance of stead - Mon and the desire il- foss in lute to b n , nd miiitar drill for. i fphysicals rya Y all High school boys, and of physical drill for the girls. After three acerb for Col. McOrin- Merl acid Col, Rance, `bite cadets wore dismissed, end made a raid on the dri eking fOuntaihs.

The News -Record a few weeks ago gave voice to the suggestion that it Wright be a good plan if the county; council moil she [d..: m u , stead of establish - leg g one large county memorial hos- pital, tusdertake the maintainance of, t• least a as t mater all increase n ase y ere the grants to, the hospitals already y es- tablished, We slid not commit ourselves to time idea, but merely put it forward as a suggestion as a committee is: considering the ]natter and will re- port at the June meeting of the, c ueii, 0 Tnhere are several things to be said in favor of both ideas suggested. If the county council will undertake to establish, equip sand maintain a mem- orial hospital for all time to conte then of course the one large hospital in a central location, would seem to • be Duly hing, haex- pensalsoes wouldtbst snsaTliere, theoverhecosdt of proper ec us nent would be fess, and the probability of having a really; .first class hospital would seem to be more reasonable. On the other hand,. if the council will only allow a cer- tain yearly grant it might be hotter to divide that grant amongst the several hospitals already established in the county. _ Huron is a largo and wealthy coun- ty and it 'ought to be able to afford better hospital accommodation for its people than it does at present. Whether this is the best way to pro- vide Mae accosntnedation remains to be seers, What do the people of the comity think about the matter ?
