Good luck go with our fellow -Canadians. Here in -Ontario we aro not suilieieetly en- thusiastic lately about giving our boys a hearty send-off, It wouldn't hurt us any to do it and it would help the boys to feel that the home Community was behind them, * * * A Haan in Pusldnclt township, near Guelph is said to have purchased ov- er a year ago over two hundred bags of hour which he has now been or- dered by the Food Board to ship to Montreal from where it will be •shiPpod overseas. The original pur- chaser will bo obliged to accept the present market price for his floor, which is considerably lower than when he purchased it. The. regulations against hoarding were VP, made for the purpose of atnnoying and worrying people who merely lay in enough supplies to meet their needs, they were made necessary by just such actions as the one cited above and it, might not be necessary to go as far as. Guelph to find an example. That the regula- tions are annoying cannot be denied. It is a nuisance not to be able to buy a sack of sugar and a couple of hundred weight of dour ; not to he able to put icing on a cake ,or to make Scotch bread and taffy it one wants to. It is a nuisance for grocers to have to take out licenses : Tor selling staple articles of food which everybody needs and for them to be thinking all the time as to whether or not they are keeping within the law. We, here in, Canada, have been doing much as we pleased -an our lives and it seems hard to have to comply with so many rules and regulations but it is better to do 'for a season what our own set- -meted leaders think necessary than to have to do the Kaiser's will later on. And after all no one in Canada • has much cause to complain of con- ditions. The News -Record heard it very tersely put the other day when someone remarked, "We're very lucky to be living here and have a head to put a hat on." Far removed as we are from the scene of strife we know little of what it means to be at war. It w0uld,td`o none of us much harm, however, to sit down for a quiet half hour and try to imagine what 'life must be in the countries . which are over -run by the enemy. It aright make us less inpatient with such small restrictions as we have to put up with. And we can look for- ward with confidence to the time when we can resume our own ways, when each householder can order his ,own household as he thinks fit and' the Government will have no need -to interfere. We shall have learned by that time perhaps to value our liberty, knowing bow dearly it has 'been bought. In the meantime let as do cheerfully the small part asked sof us, Dr. Case, Dungannon @t is New Represta- tive in North Huron The annual meeting and nominat- sag convention for the Legislative .seat of the North Huron Conserva- tive Association was held in Wing - ham last Friday afternoon. The con- vention was one of the most largely .attended in the history of the as- .soeiation, their being 102 delegates out of a possible 164, and in addi- 4ionA-.'a this there was a large num- ber of Conservatives present from all parts of the riding. As the Women have the franchise, they were fox the first time allowed equal vot- ing power in the convention. Dr. T. 17. Case of Dungannon was the chotee of the convention, the fin- .al vote being a tic, and the casting vote was given by Dr. Redmond, the ,president, in favor of Dr. Case, Sev- en candidates were nominated, as follows : Dr, R. C. Redmond, Dud- ley Holmes and George Spotton, Wingham ; Peter W. Scott and Mat - Lockhart, East Wawanosh; Dr. T. E. Case, Dungannon ; John .Joynt, Lucknow. The several candidates addreased the meeting, except Dr. Case, who was unable to be present, and his Calms were very ably placed before the meeting by Mrs. (Rev,) W. C. Allison of Dungannon. All the can- didates except Dr:. Case, Geo. Spot - ton and Peter W. Scott retired be- fore a vote was takers. The final vote was between lir. Case and Mr, ,iSpotton. Dr, Case has for many years been a resident of Dungannon, and has bad a successful practice. He has been a stalwart worker Inc the Con- seisPze,tive Party,. He halt two sons over§cas and another son has .roeent- ly enlisted. A letter: was road front A. 11. Musgrove, the late member, who re- cently resigned to accept the post - mastership of Wingharn, in which he thanked the members of the party for the honors conferred upon hirn itt the Hast. Dr. R. C. itedrnond, the president, Was in the chair. Officers for the ensuing year were ;elected as follows : President, Dr. R. C. Itedfnond, Wingham : 1st Vice, Mit, (Jeo. Walker, Gorric; 2nd Vice, Pr.

Willis Cb11rCh Anniversary (Continued front Page 1) 0 1 t < t 1 lig ala and ins earl of rea0ntlaag thole criticisms, we ought to give ]feed to them and try to profit by 1,50111. Among tiro things mentioned to whleh the war calls the (llama, were the following 1, Self Judgment, God in this war is judging Germany, But none the less is He judging Great Britain and the other nations engaged in 1t, At the root of the trouble lies sin, and In the terrible things which have ocourted and aro still occurring, Wo 'see something of 'the nature and the fruits of sin. "Why is God so deal- ing with us?" This is a question which should be asked by, the na- tions, by the Church and by indiv- iduals. And seeing' whereunto sin, tolerated and praetised, niay grow, let us seek to die unto sin and to live unto righteousness. 2. Sacrifice. Consider the semi - flees which the men at the front have made and are still making for us. Many have already made and many more will make the supreme sncri- 11oe, • Shall wo not keep these in grateful remembrance and do what may. be, necessary for those who were dependent on them, if there should be. such. And shall we not do likewise'for those who return to us crippled, maimed or in other ways disabled ? But let those questions, suggest another, infinitely more inn- portant,'what shall we render to Him who loved us and gave Himself for us. Ile calls for service, and there is Ito true service which does riot imply sacrifice, With all we have and are we should seek to serve Him. Money and other things which so many call their own are not theirs, but have been entrusted to them for service. We are not our own but have been bought with a price, and therefore ought to glorify God in our bodies and in our spirits which are God's. • 8. Co-operation. Victory in war is not possible to any body of then who do not work together to execute the plans of those under whose lead- ership they fight. Equally necessary is co-operation in the Church. Chris- tian men at the front have learned to make little of the. things which divide their brethren elsewhere. Shall we allow matters which we admit to be of minor importance to prevent the heartiest co-operation in carry- ing 04 the great work with which we have been entrusted 7 4. Prayer. Notwithstanding the difficulties which many profess to feel, and which some really feel with reference to ,prayer, it Is a fact that most men do pray when trouble com- es. In these times many ere praying who have not done 5o in the past, and many who have been wont to pray, are now doing so more earn- estly than formerly. Apart from answers to pray there Is, to the 'truly sincere, comfort and blessing its a sense of the nearness of God, and in communion with Ilim. And although these may not always re- ceive the things for which they ask, answers do come in other forms which God knows to be hest. Spring flowers decorated the desk and alter rail, the choir rendered special and inspiring music and al- together the services were inspiring and helpful to all. The board of managers laa& asked for an anniversary offering of five hundred dollars. This sutra was plac- ed on the plates at the morning ser- vice and over another hundred inthe evening, so that the offering for the day reached wen over $600., Farmers May Hold Flour The following order has been is- sued by The Canada Food Board and explains itself : "Whereas to require farmers at present to return any surplus flour as directed in Order of the Canada Food Board number 31 may meta: loss of time and interfere with pro- dttption.
