At a meeting of the representativ- es of the various churches held in Owen Memorial Hall last evening it was unanimously -decided to hold no church services for another week, It is hoped, however, that conditionp. will warrant, the opening .. of all churches for divine• service on Nov. 3rd. RIPE STRAWBERRIES IN OCT. Dr.'Shaw -left in The News -Record office on Friday a half dazcn or so of strawberries picked from his own vines. They wore in every stage of developement from blossoms to large, ripe berries. 'rhe mature fruit was well formed and as well developed as that of the early .crop in July. It is comparatively common to pick raspberries in the fall as there is one species which seems to keep bearing until the snow flies, but it is rarer to see a ripe strawbeyE,y in October.. FORWARD MOVEMENT, Splendid and largely attended meet- ings were held in Willis church on Wednesday of last week. The object of these meetings was. in order that the "Forward Movement," one of the largest undertakings in the his- tory of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, might be inaugurated in the Presbytery of Huron: The commit- tee of the General Assembly ap- pointed to set forth this movement has stated its main objective in what is surely a rallying call to the whole membership of the Church. 1t is as follows "A quickening of the spiritual life of the- Church, issuing in a. more ag- gressive evangelism at home and. abroad." The matters pertaining to this movement were dealt tsith in a masterly way by the three speakers of the day: Revs. R. P. McKay, D. D., John Neil, D.D., and Prof. Kil- patrick, D.D. Dr,' Neil in a lucid address brought before the audience some of the problems confronting the chtirch our Dominion, such as the 'foreign settlements, Orientals, education, social conditions, returned soldier, and showed the need of relating the gospel to these problems. Dr. McKay is a prince among his fellows in dealing with Foreign Mis- sion matters. From field to field he led his audience making figures to speak volumes and places and con- ditions to stand out vividly before the imagination. The magnitude of the privilege in connection with the fifteen millions of people in foreign lands for whom the Presbyterian Church in Canada is responsible was made to bulk before our eyes. And although' we were encouraged by re- ports of success and development in various fields, yet it was clearly evi- dent that much more might and ought to -be-.,done. Particularly did i the splendid o - he call attention top p portunity for investment of the life of our developing boys and girls and of some more of our wealth In so worthy a work. These two addresses very naturally led up to the third by Prof, I{il- patrick, "The attraction of candidat- es to the ministry in such numbers and quality as will meet the re- uirements of .the Church at hone and abroad." Here, too; a Master dealt with a vital subject in a nasterful way. Both at home and abroad the field is wide and the work is great but laborers are few. I'he speaker showed how the work of the ministery held out inducements and assured results far in excess of any other vocation. These ate great days of reconstruction and national expansion at home and days of unparalleled development abroad which present to -env youth of our land "a man's job" such -as will appeal to his noblest ambition and occupy his greatest talent. It is loped that in view of these splendid privileges many ot the brightest youth•of our church will devote work, themsoives to this noble--wo , 'Chose fn attendance at these meet- ngs came from almost every eon" - rogation in the Presbytery and represented every branch of• the Church's work. A keen. interest was nauifested by all. in this task of so groat magnitude to which we were alled.. I;arhestness and a spirit of fervor characterized the meetings. 7'he social hour enjoyed while at funis and tea, so graciously served by the ladies of Willis church, was Corned to goad acoolest and helped to cr@oto a spirit of good fellowship. The objective of the meetings was ;cached, and the desire of both repairers and audience obtained when he Presbytery unanimously passed es In ions l n o t he ro to wig 1 "Thei ttesltytotY heartily concur n the Fc heard Movement, approve pt its purpose, and promise to 11 tamest and loyal support," d"l'he Presbytery decides en the t11p01btneed of n committee with itetruetions to tree , all praoticltble n0ans for furtherence,pi the move iite[t4, ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED, Congratulations are extended to Mr. John Ransforci on his passing another milestone, Tuesday being lils. birthday.

She was a bright, inter- esting and winsome girl and had a host of friends in both town and country who deeply regret her un- timely passing. The funeral, which vas private, took place on Monday forenoon. Mass was said in St. Joseph's church and the burial service was read at the graveside by the Rev.

Mr. Fair was in the Store at the time aitd had he had a couple of pails of water right at hand cotdd have put it out without difficulty but having to Carry the water up- stairs the fire gained on him and the lights going out •further complicated matters. The damage was principal- ly to picture mouldings, wall paper, etc., and at time of writing an es- timate had not been reached. The origin 01 the lire is not fully decided. Supt Chant of the 13ydro thinks a light was left burning near Winnable material but as Mr, Fair used the light last himself he is con- vinced it was not left .burning. dlowever, there seemed to bo nothing to cause lice except the electric wir- ing, Mr. Fair has been paying insutance i 15 - Isis this e s and 1 for thirty Y ar t first filo and his father paid irl inset - me for thirty years before that and 110V01 had a Ore.

In each of these cases the person reported dead had been or was at the time ill but in each case is making good recovery. People ought to be careful about circulat- ing such reports, they are disturb- ing to the comtnunity,, A. good pian is to verify such a report before re- peating it. INTERRED IN•CLINTON.

VICTOR ('RICA, M,1bh Mr. Onslow Crich received a let- ter on Tuesday from his son, Vic- tor, telling him that ha had been awarded the Military Medal. He did not explain what the decoration was for but said he had been recommend- ed for it in the "same scrap in which Jim had received his wound." Ile said nothing of it, however, un- til the order carne through and he was given the privilege of wearing the ribbon. Victor enlisted with the lelst, along with his brother, and went overseas two years ago. He has been promotbtt to Lance -Corpor- al. He is just twenty years of age. A number of decorations have been awarded Clinton boys, who one and all have done their duty bravely. THE CLOCKS GO BACK. On the morning of Sunday, Oct, 27th, the clocks in Canada are to be turned back an hour to correspond with stat time again, after running one hour fast during the summer. The United States goes back to al on time standard so this date. a 1 Officially the . time changes at two o'clock Sunday morning but of course most people will regulate their clocks before going to bed Saturday night. A hood, pian will be to get all ready for bed by fast time then just before retiring turn back the clock. By this means one will ;be able to catch up that hour which was lost in the spring when the change was made. It seems hard to suit some peo- ple, Some of those who ware most opposed to the change to fast time are now complaining that the even- hugs will seem very short—when an hour is clipped off and that lights will have to be turned on before six o'clock. The only way to remedy tho matter would be to start everything one hour earlier all the year around. Then there would be no need to make the clocks tell lies all stun - mer, THEN. REAMED OBJECTIVE. Sergt. 1V. P, Munnings, a member of the 161st Battalion, on receiving a box from the members of Wesley church a few weeks ago, wrote ex- pressing Itis thanks for the same, "The contents of the box 1 certainly enjoyed," he 'writes, "and I wish : to thank the members of Wesley church for their' kind remembrance of us.

Clinton has had, so far but one fatality front Spanish influenza and while there are several cases' in town it is remarkably free_ of infection, The Board of health has not con- sidered it necessary to close church- es, schools, ode., but the school' boards and officials of the different churches have taken the matter into their own hands and both churches and schools will remain closed for another week, which many think a wise course as it will no doubt do much to prevent the spread of the disease.
