For instance, this year in Canada, we have had the Alex- ander Graham Bell stamps which were got out to represent the hundredth anniversary of the in- vention of the telephone, later the citizen stamp came out to mark Canadian citizenship. We are affixing the Princess Elizabeth stamp• to our mail. Our kindly neighbor to the south has a great many more different stamps than we have and it is indeed interesting to study them. One of the most recent issues is that representing the famous painting of "The Doc- tor." We recall that the doctor there represented is Sir James BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY LEGAL H. T.

Relays were brought into use in 1481, when King Edward IV was at war with Scotland. From that time on there have been relays in the delivery of mail.

A little child is passing through a serious crisis andthe famous doc- tor takes time from his busy life to watch intently every change in the condition of his patient. We do not know just why such a picture was reproduced on a postage stamp, but the expres- sions on the faces of the father and the Doctor are well worth studying., Stamp collecting is a hobby which, should be encouraged in all children. From attics many old stamp books are brought down by boys and girls with an intention of making a further study of them. In some cases, the father who started it years before. acquires a renewed inter- est in the old hook and quite often the young boy- has to take second place to the father in making a • further collection. It is indeed a hobby where father and son can spend many happy hours. They' not only gather and trade stamps, but at ,the same time they too are bound closer together, The fact that they have a common interest rnakes them pals in stamp collecting and that leads to other thing which makes them more companionable. Perhaps it does cost a little mon- ey, but a father and his son, even a motiher and her daughter might better spend money that way than in some so-called pleasures So it is in our lives.

The first stamps' which' came out lasted for just, a few years. These stamps are now very, very rare. ' The design had the form of a double lined triangle. In 1938 one df these was sold at -auction' in London for £1.30. The adhesive stamps in use in most countries now were brought in on the advice of Sir Rowland Hill to the government of Britain in May of 1840. It was just shortly after the ascention of Queen Victoria and in her hon- our the first stamp was printed.

Now nearly all countries have issued stamps as a means of honoring their heroes„ Principal among these are those who have in same way helped. in the development of their country.

JOHNSTON Funeral service for John E. Johnston, who died in Alexandra Hospital, Goderich, Thursday night, June, 24, in his 92nd year, was held from the Brophey Fun- eral Home, Goderich, Saturday morning, conducted by Rev. Bev- erley H. Farr, of St. George's Anglican Church. Interment, with Masonic rites, was in Mait- land Cemetery, Goderich. Born in Stanley Township, he was a son oe the late Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Johnston. After his graduation from Goderich High School, he taught for three years in McKillop Township. For Many years he conducted a gro- into our lives. We have often given gifts of one kind or another; but have we given to our Lord the one thing He wants— our hearts? As we look at a sheet of stanms we realize that each stamp is separated by perforations. We might say the sheet is to a cert- ain extent marred, but still each stamp does the work it is intend- ed to do. At this time we think of many who are handicapped, others in sorrow or for one reason or anoth- er have the feeling that God has forgotten them, We should real- ize that no matter what the con- dition, God is love, He is always near us and will never send us more to bear than we through His aid can endure.. Whatever He has sent to us has been sent in love, There are many things which we do not understand now, but we will. when we reach the farther shore. Then we will thank Him for the way He has led us. While young many begin the hobby of saving stamps. It is in- deed an interesting study. Hour after hour may be spent in check- ing stamps and catalogues. Would we not like to take God's Word and make a list of His promises. Each one is true and everyone of them is applicable to us. Very great mistakes have been made in stamps, but no mistake can ever be made in God's promises. Let us make a rule of our lives to study God's word, stamp coll- ecting is interesting but the word of God is much more so, will we not make this the happiest time of our lives by making a continuious st}idy of God's Word, after giving ourselves to Him. Do those of us who are Christ- ians carry about with us the stanip of our Saviour? In other words do we so act that others will know that we belong to God. Do we definitely stand for His clause when any moral question comes up or do we just go the way of least resistance, Many of us find it easier to go with the world than to let that same world know we are followers of Jesus Christ. "Peg" Cornerstone is Laid Of New'United Church An interesting and impressive service was held at Goshen Line, Stanley, when the cornerstone of a new United Church was laid.

Forest, from Goderich to a farm near Varna. The furniture was on the hayrack. They left Goderich at 7 p.m., Webb driving the tractor. They picked Kennedy up at the East end of the town and the latter produced a bottle of wine, said the witness, who added that he was sitting on the furniture be- hind the tractor. They were going down hill when the machine collided with the bridge. He next heard a splash and the wagon was turned upside down in the water. When he got ,out of the water, he could not see Kennedy. Webb was ly- ing up on the bank and witness • pulled him back so he would not fall into the water, The witness told Frank Don- nelly, K.C., that Webb was sober 1 at the time of the accident. He had a bottle of wine, which was not finished. The tractor went on the centre of the bridge, took a sudden jump and turned. Provincial Constable James Culp said he arrived at the scene at 10.45 p.m. The wagon was overturned in the water at the east side of the bridge. He went to the home of a Mr. Keyes, where he found Webb asleep on a couch. Ile had difficulty wak- ing him. Witness said Webb smelled of liquor and did not seem to know what had hap- pened. Provincial Constable Frank Taylor, Clinton, corroborated evidence given by the previous witness and the preliminary hear- ing.was concluded. Bail was set at $2,000 and was supplied by W. L. Forest.
