GODERICII WINS AGAIN On Monday night in the local ar- ena, the Goderich Sailors, in their third consecutive encounter witl• the Clinton Colts took them into port by a score of 3-i. While the voyage was not exactly rough, it was by no means plain sailing. A large crowd of fans were pre- sent and the ice was in excellent shape. The game was fast and clean regardless of numerous penalties, ar most of these were for minor infrac- tions. Referee Norfolk of Stratford hand- led the game well and impartially and very little escaped his eagle eye. After five minutes of play in the first frame, MacDonald and McKay: on a nice combination slipped through the Colt's defence and scored the visitors' first goal, the former bat- ting in the puck. The locals defence was considerably weakened as Jack Elliott was playing with an injured shoulder. A few minutes later Kenny Pickett on a pass from Glidden, shot one at Doak, who cleared, but Pickett was right there for the rebound and flipped in the rubber to even the count. The Sailers' next goal was prat- tically a gift, when Doug. Kennedy in an attempt to stop a shot from outside the blue line, Just touched ed the puck enough to deflect it past Twyford in the nets, The period end- ed with Goderich one up. STANDING COMMITTEES ' The Clinton town council met on Friday, the two new members duly sworn in, and a striking committee, composed of Reeve Elliott and Coun- cillors Paisley and Livermore, with the mayor, were appointed to nomi- nate standing committees for the year.

No goals were scored in the second round but it was full of excitement The Sailors were most aggressive and were right through many times and but for the great work of Twy- ford in the nets would have scored at least a couple more. Woods and McEwan tried to stage a boxing bout but Referee Norfolk decided that was not the time or place and gave them each five min- utes to cool off. DEATH OF GEORGE C.

This was decidedly -the visi- tors' round but the score. remained' unchanged. Halfway through the third stanza with Clinton playing a man short McKay sent a wobbling shot from the wing which eluded Twyford's grasp and the visitors were two goals up. The Colts ' then staged' a great rally and simply bombarded Doak but he was right' on to his job and was also very lucky on a couple. However the Colts had delayed too long and the final bell found them two goals behind. 'Tis true the locals are a little down but they are by no means 'out and are ready to stage a comeback.

They were folicwed by the pastors of each of the local congregations, including the captain cf the Salvation Army, all of whom took seine part in the ,service which fo!.iewed. As the congregation and choir stn^d the minister of the church gave the opening verses of scripture and ther all sang the first verse of the Duke of Argyle's matchless rendering o" the 121 Psalm, "Unto the hills," fel- lowed by prayer by Rev. Dr. Dougan. "0 God Our Help," was sung by the congregation and the 90th Psalm react responsively, Rev: K. MeG: un lead- ing. Another :scripture was read by Capt. Wilder, a quartette 'composed of Mrs. C. E. Dougan, Mrs, H. R Sharp and Dr. Thompson and Dr. Smillie sang very beautifully "Cros- sing the Bar." This was followed by prayer by Rev. F. C. Farrill and the congregational singing of the beau- tiful hymn "For all the saints who from their labors rest." Then fol- f; lowvecl the address, by the Rev. D. E. Foster, pastor of the church, w'h' took three passages of scripture un on which to base his remarks. The: first: "A man shall be a hiding place from the wind." He said this war spoken by the prophet of Jesus and called attention to the fact that in a country where sudden storms blew up a hiding place was very welcome to travellers and such a description of the coning Messiah would he grateful to the people weary of the winds of adversity and of sorrow. In lesser degree such a tiring might be said of Joseph C. Ganilier. IIe had sheltered many from the wind of sorrow, stood between them arc' the storms of illness and of death. It was so ile had won the grateful love of so many. He was a man of strong though, gentle spirit, one upon The regular monthly meeting of whom others could loan for strength the Women's Institute, was held in the Firemen's Hall on Thursday af- ternoon January 26th, at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Frank Glew, let vice-president, presided at this meeting as the pre- sident, Mrs. N. W. Trewartha, war, absent. After the secretary's report, the treasurer gave her report showing a balance of aver sixty dollars on hand. Some business matters were timer discussed. It was decided that the Hard Time Social, which was post- poned in respect to the memory of the late Dr. J. C.:Gammdier, be held next month. Some letters of corres- pondence were then read by the sec- retary, most of these being "Thank You" letters from the sick and the shut-ins who received flowers from the Institute at Christmas. A vote of thanks was tendered to the flow- er committee by lin. Lovett, and seconded by Mrs. Chambers, for their splendid work. Representatives were then appointed to the hospital hoard. on the resignation of Mrs. Heard and Mrs. Radford, Mrs. C. Sturdy and Mrs. M. Johnson were appointed to these positions. It was moved by Mrs. Paisley and seconded by Mrs. Flynn that a summer speaker be ar- ranged for this summer. After the roll call the sercetary read a paper hich was sent theonnutrition departmentw. The paper wasout veryby helpfu Thisl brought the business part of the meeting to a close and Misses Ellen ,Charlesworth and Wilheimine Trewartha "sang seine pleasing duets with guitar, accompaniment. , Mrs, McKinley and Mrs. Frank Glew core tribmited readings. • Lunch,was then served by the hos r • L. tenses; Mrs. L. Cree, Mrs, J. Heard, Miss M. Trewartha, Mrs. Wm Perdue; ,Mrs.' k'olland. and Mrs. W S. R. Holmes.• and support. The second passage he quoted were the words of Christ himself: `1'n my lather's house are many abiding places." As ti' preacher understood it the future life i; but a continuation of activities, We go from one abiding place to an other, this earth is one, from this We go on to another, Death is not the end, it is the opening door into a larger, fuller life. In this life it is not given to mortals to know what ie in store in the life that is to come, but it will be satisfying and fulfill- ing. The third passage was the tri- umphant cry of the Roman prisoner: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." This he said was spoken by a man whose work did not seem to be finished; he was a, prisoner, soon to suffer death at the hands of a Roman despot, but it carried no note of defeat. "Long life is not neces- sary to finish one's work on earth," he said. "Christ lived upon earth scarce thirty-three years but on the cross he could say: `It is finished.' • He could say that he had accom- plished what he had come to earth to do." Mr. roster finished a very impres- sive and inspiring discourse 'by quoting Browning's beautiful poem: "Prospice." At the conclusion of the address Miss Ann Stewart sang with much expression, "The City Foursquare," ReV. G. W. Sherman, who was in charge of the service, announced the last hymn, "Forever With the Lord;' and after the benediction, 'by the Rev. M. N. Sullivan, • the organist Mrs. Morgan Agnew, played . the "Dead March," ,the congregation i u standinguntil twith bowed heads 14s end. It was a beautiful and' fitting tri- biite.
