The •Bryth Standard . says in its issue this week: ' ' "The services held in St. Andrew's church on Sunday, completed the week of jubilee Whieh had been ar-..naked, tang,ed to 'commemorate the founding of the Presbyterian Church in Blyth, eeventY years ago and the fiftieth an- eiversary of the erection of the Pre sent church building. The serviees on Sunday were in keeping with those of week ago, hi, which the large ' con- eregations asseinbled to give 'voice in praise .for the mail blessings that had come to the-congregetion in -the past and as a stimulation to greater accomplishments in the future. Rev. W. R. MeIntoth, D.D., of King street !I -lurch, London, was the preacher at soth services. In the • mornileg he emit as the stbject of hig address the words, "Jesus tarried, behind," from Terse 43, chapter 2, Luke, Inter- woven in his subject was "The story ef,the lost Christ" in which he point- ad oat how little is known of tlae early Mildhood of our Saviour, there being io history of his boyhood day; hi 'irst appearance coming when he ,arried behind in the :temple. In was in early saying that nothing good oni.es out of Nazareth, yet the great- st benefactor the world has knoWn ame from that place. To lose Christ vas a 'beagle lees to any rnan, Hs- ially in a year like this of jubilee we Le not count our lessee, but our gains; -et how serious is the interior loss to manhood ,arabitione; the great and important thinghaVe been left lie - hind by us and 'have fallen by -the' wayside. Lot left his faith behind as clid Eeau, The story of the lost Christ is going on all the time, Even . M great jubilee occasions we may be barren, lost,. prayerless. We have lost the principle of Christ if He is loet to us. We may not be aware of this fact but nevertheless such may be the case. Christ's par - ents were the first to lose Him, so it may be in tht church, the elders, min - isters, Sabbath School superinteed- ents, teachers and members may lose Christ, Hie parents did the right thing, they went back and fonnd Christ. The great peril is to lose ; Christ for good. We lose our ideals of youth because we become money , grabs, selfish and miserly as we grow ' older unless we have Him. Educe- I tion and religion must stand togetli- ., ex-. Science must serve Christ as 1 without Christ life is nothing. We must have chaeacter, self-control, cul- i tiyatednauhood and give to our land , obedience of goodlavvs. Christ is al- ( ways where you left Him. He is , waiting at the door for you to come in c and the only hope, of • salvation is 'through those wide open doors. Mt.

So inuce so' that the customs a the times werw:ehanged. The early christians were hailed and hauled and belled be- fore the comes and suffered for etheir ideals, Theueteade were sacrificed. The world was on a wrong basis and the chrietiane wanted to right it; be- cause they loved the world. The christiane gave their -devotion to save the world and the .church that gives iteelf up to the world must save it and be "e: 'great church. We today, • , , must love the world. The Jews ceased to love the world and began to, dream BEAUTIFUL BREEZY BAYFIELD of aeother world to come and said the Lord would come from Heaven. They 'elate themselves im to this thought mid did not want the Gentiles „unless they 'became Jews and were sized. Yon You can't live in seclusion end save the world, The christirms were not afraid of changes, Some people want theevorld to stay "put" as it is, more comfortable and convenient, but Jesue saw the inequalities of the world and gave his life to change it. We today cannot live in the time of the pioneers, we must make advance - mein. The christians make advance- ment, they marched right into the Remaneworld and conquered.

The interest, of the people of this vieinity centres around the reunion of the Auburn school, U. S. S. No. 5; Ilullett. The different committees have worked in harmony, the prep-aratory work has been well done .ated all signs augur that Friday, July 29th, will go' down as a red letter day in the history of this commueity. The time of this reunion seems very ap- propriate for the'entering neon of a Om to beautify the burial grounds known as Balls'-Cemeiery. The cause is •worthy and the prometors fee/ assured of the cooperation and sup- ported all people interested. The cemetery -was formerly owned by the Methodist Church of Canada but three years ago was transferred to .a board of seven trustees appointed. at a meeting of the plot holders on June 20th, 1924, At this _meeting a motion was passed providing foe the maintenance of the ehurch blinding in perpetuity. Li compliance therewith the board took steps to repaie the church, which, fortunately, was in a good state of preservation. Prior to the transfer of the property the cemetery had been financed conjoilitly with, the church and as the church was low in funds at the time of dissolution the board found itself with little money to carry on and a .cemetery on its hands with- outMeans of upkeep, except for work, which was being done valuntarily by tesidentglot holders. How6nr the board bis finding that the best Of' the iloteliad been taken up purchased ad- ditiopel land end had a new fence er:- ected around the whole cemetery. The major portion 'of the cost of the enees remains unpaid. The board after due consideration ave decided that the only practical ay to keep the grounds in, anything like proper condition is to •raise a 'rust fund of at least $2000.00 and Ise the interest en same for the per- petual maintenahee of the grounds, he fund, to be raised by velem-tare ubscriptions. In making this appeal he board desire to call attention to the fad that many thousands of det- ers have been invested isr monuments while no provision whatsoever has een made for the care of the grounds nd furthermore there are many plots ontaining whole , families with rio iving relative, as lee as the board re aware, interested in the care of heir resting place. The board feels justified in solicit - ng generous contributions that their bjective /nay be attained and the xpense of keeping the grounds in onditien be provided, for all time to In connection with this •movenaent memorial seevice will be held on the emetery grounds on Sunday evening. uly 31st commencing at 6.30.

The next afternoon, Mr. Norton left his watet near the tent while he was busy with some odd jobe. When he went for his watch it wasn't there. But he did not suspect the strauger of taking it, he thought he might have misplaCed it. The next- morn- ing the stranger disapeeareel and af- ter his disappearance Mr. Whittle found that seven dollars had been talc- _ en from his purse. The boys cenriot prove that the stranger took the mon- ey and the watch but circumstances would Mad ohe to believe that he was the offender.

The price cycle has, been a long time at the bottom of its norma serve would appear, to be on the up swing. Unfortunately, the inevitable turn eor the better has found many farmers unprepared to step in and take advantage of the existieg 'condi tions. e Feeder buyers are finding that the sueply of feeding cattle fer Ontario farms is limited. It has been possible in past years to buy western bred stockers and feeders in almost any quantity, and of desirable quality, WM; the volume of the renge cattle busieess of the southwestern states being curtailed by conditions well known to most feeders and with the demand for feeding cattle front the corn belt states becoming stronger each year, the Canadian west is find- ing 010 difficulty in disposing of all its feeders to those Markets. • Ontario fennels who consider themselves and their farms adapted to finishing bed cattle will do wel to study the business in its existing conditioes, They will likely arrive at the conclusion that in order to maintain their business on a paying basis they must save their likely heifer's and cows, use a well-bred beef type bull and thus make their own feeders. Present prices are tempting and too many good young heifers are finding theie way to mar ket when they should be following their natural fuection of reproduchig calves foe fittishing as baby beef mid handy weightebutcher cattle. • - The pare -bred producers -might wel take a •lesson here too. There are usually too many bulls for sale at .prices that cannot be expected to realize profits for the breeder. It is better to ute the knife more often and sell baby beeves at profitable re- turns than to beg buyers to accept young'bells that were never intended to make high class producers.—G. 13. 'Paterson.
