C'ANApi NNATIQ AILWAYS been his success in, Medical'Research that he was asked by the Canadian Government to work with that of the Mother land in war research. It was while on this mission to Brit ain that the plane in which he was a passenger crashed and a useful life was terminated. Almost a hundred years ago, in March of ,1847, Alexander Graham Bell another, scientist of e''enown was born. He was the third' in line to bear the name of Alexander Bell; His great grandfather was originally a e'hoe maker but later became int. terested in opera, especially, Shakes- perian plays. Both he and his son, father of Alexander Graham Bell, were interested in the correction of defective utterance, and this probably was the . beginning of the telephone system. On his eleventh birthday Alexander adopted the name Graham from an old friend of the family.,His' earily life was spent in teaching in schools for the deaf,June 1870 follow- ing the death of his two brothers, and owing to the death of Alexander, tire only remaining child, the Graham family decided to come out to Canada. They settled near the town of Brant- ford. There, in spite of a run down condition, Bell worked during the day, and in the evening and on into the night he followed Ms hobby which was telegraphy. At the same time he had in mind the telephone for in letter to his parents, just before the discovery of the telephone he wrote, "I think that transmission of the human voice is much more nearly at hand than I supposed. Bell and his co-worker; followed. their exper- iments in the loft of the Williams Shop. One day for just. one brief fraction of a second the clue to the transmission of the human voice flashed into the world by way of the "Dusty Boston Attie". In speaking of 'it ofterwards he said, "The con- ception of the telephone took place in 1874 during the summer visit to my father's residence in Brantford, and the aparatus was just as it was sub- sequently, made, a one metnbrance telephone on either end." The first telephone was considered a very crude affair but there are many lessons to be learned from its beginning and from the machine its- elf. Very seldom anything worth while is ever got without hard labor. This certainly applies to scientific discov- ery. It was in no polished air con- dittcasecil roots with easy chairs, but in a hot dirty attic with the crudest of instruments that the telephone came into being. Many times a talent discoverer has started his or her investigation as a child (This is a lesson which chould be kept well in mind by par- ents. Do not discourage children in their hobbies. Rather encourage them, for who knows but that their thoughts may result in a world wanted discovery in the next gaiter atio'n.) At times meals have been disreg- arderd either from necessity or due to concentration sof thought' involved in some crucial point inthe progress of the investigation. There have been instances when there has not been much money for food, but still the scientist has worked on. The ,telephone discovery has been diseribed as a split second flash, Had Bell not trained his ear for just such an occasion he might have worked at ft for the years before he brought it to a successful termination. Have we used every opportunity within our power to make ourselves ready to receive what ,we are working to ach- ieve? We may be seeking information on some subject. Have we trained our TIME TABLE Trains win arrive at and depart from Clinton as follows: Buffalo and Gedericit DI,.Going East, depart 6.43 a.m Going East, depart 3.00 p.m. Going West, depart 11.45 a.m. 'Going West, depart 9.50 p.m. Leaden, Huron & Brae* +Going North, ar 11.21, lye. 11.47 am Going South ar. 2.60, ledve 3.08 p.m. thoughts' so that we ;will be able to read intelligently or de we just ramble on regardless of whether we are taking in what we are reading or not. Sometime after we have finished reading even a page of a book' let us try to recall what we have read. We will indeed be sur- prised at the little which our mind has obsorbed. In order to have a retentive ° mina we must "memorize. Alas, there is too little of that being done! Even in; our Sunday School classes where Scripture 'should be memorized, Sunday after Sunday goes by and the teacher has arranged for no memory work. The children do not realize what they will miss in later years, and it is the duty of par- ents and teachers to see that some- thing is done in regard to this. Had Sir Frederich limiting and Dr. Alex- ancltr,Graham Bell and many others working in the same lines not .train- ed their, 'minds to retain informatino the world would never have advanc- ed in science the way it has. It is hard to :memorize but the time to do it is when 'we have youth on our' side. Alexander Graham Bell was not. afraid of work. As all other scient-. ists have done "he burned the candle at both ends." He spent little time in pleasures, his work was his pais - time. As young people do we feel that we are accomplishing anything? We go out to our daily work, but do let us hope, work long and hard enough to earn the money which is given us,- but s,but after working hours area We doing anything' which is at all worth while, or are we spending our off duty hours attending movies, dancing, playing cards or putting in our time with out - hot.' sports. At theclose of the day have we done anything which is anally for out•• advancement. If we have. not ,our time has been wasted. Let us seriously consider' this prob- lem. The Lord has given us a brain, which we may develope or let lie dormant as we choose. Let us' leave things which are mot worth while alone and put in our time working at something which will be an ad- vancement to ourselves, with a poss- ibility that, the world might be ben- efitted by it.; Another encouraging thing is that scientists are sometimes handicapped men and women those who have some physical disability. Yet they seem to put it to one side and carry on. That is a great lesson to those who are not able to be out and around. Many a scientist has become dis- couraged, practically defeat has faced then, but they have started again and we can just imagine that we can see them when at last victory is theirs. They never acknowledge de- feat and as long as that attitude is taken victory is assured. The follow- ing words inscribed over the entrance to the' University of Pensaylvania is truly' appliable tothem, "in the dust of defeat, as well as in the laurel of victory, there is glory to be found, if one has done his best." Many have branched out into all fortes ,of science and have become masters of many of them. Death has never been conquered by any human being. Scientists have tried to sclve the problem which would do away with death, but when their time cotnes, they too have had to leave all and join the throng on the way to the hereafter, If Christ were to call to -day would we be ready? Just stop and think and, honestly .in the sight of God answer that; question. Vdry appropriate in closing this article are the words of Sir Freder- ich Bantieg during his » Cameron Prize lecture, "It is net within the power of the properly constructed mind to be satisfied. Progress would cease if this were the case. The greatest joy of life is to acomplish. It is the getting not the having. 1t is the giving not the keeping. Let us accept the love of Christ in- to our hearts, let us not keep it to ourselves but may we have the joy of giving it to others.

This ' does not include the cost of brick, stone, etc., -which are being laid upon the ground by the parishoners, so that when completed the parsonage will have entailed an expenditure -of two thousand dollars or so in the near neighborhood. The contractor is Mr. S. S. Cooper. Hale—In Chicago, on March Gth, Horatio Hale, 'only son of William Buell Hale and grandson of the late Horatio Hale of Clinton, aged 1 yr. and 8 months.

Dr. Hincks of Toronto, Trin- ity Methodist church, who' preaches anniversary services' in Wesley chur- ch next Sunday, has been a pastor iii that city for over 20 years.

S. Livermore, I{;.C{, of Aylmer. Mrs Ernest Adams, Insituto president, conducted the meeting and Mrs. P. Hearn presided at the piano. The regular opening exercises were ob- served. Routine business was taken up and new business included a dee= ision to have a new sign prepared and installed at the ladies' rest room. The motto, "'Tis fitting in this world of strife, folks differ in their ways of life," was commented on by Miss Le'vinia Brigham, who took the place on the program assigned .to Mrs. G. H. Elliott who was unable to attend. Miss Brigham said, "It takes ail, kinds of people to make a world. If we all thought and anted alike, life would become monotonous and stale; there would be no variety in life. The Creator has wisely designed that there are no two persons in the world exactly alike. Therefore, dif- fering in temperament, in tastes' and in habits, we manage to live happily together no matter how closely we may be segregated into columunit- les," A sing -song led by Mrs. Adams with Mrs. P. Hearn playing piano ac- companiment was then. enjoyed. Mrs. Livermore was next on the program: She defined legislation as 'the farming and enforcing of 'laws throughout the. land." "It seems such a broad word that we can mer- ely touch on a few points that really affect us," the speaker stated. "Our interest should start with our school boards. Do we endeavor to see that suitable and capable trustees are elected, or are we careless and indif- ferent? It surely is a good plan to have at least one woman on the school board. Women have a better understanding of requirements of children than men have. Then do we use our votes wisely in electing our Mayers, reeves and councilors, also OUT members of parliament? Do we study it well beforehand and then vote for ilie best interest of the country? She then dwelt interestingly on the story of Confederation. "It is a story' which should form a part of the knowledge of every Canadian," she said. "The story showed loyality and leadership on the part of her public men 75 years ago, and it showed the good sense and wisdom of the ordinary citizen in supporting the advocates of Confedliration:." ` Mrs. Liveromre traded the devel- opment of -Canadian legislative gov- erninent from Confederation year to the present time touching on the foundation of our various legislative • You wash all potatoes, vegetables and fruits before you use them..

She also outlined the mov- ement for extending the franchise to women. Lastly she touched upon the Sirois report, saying: "When the war is ended and won, there seems little doubt that Canadians will have to return to the problem Of how to read- just a form of government conceived in 1667, and make it adequate to the problems of the last half of the 20th century. The Fathers of Confeder- ation built well the foundation of a great edifice ; it will be our duty to and responsibilty in the years that lie ahead: to assist in completing the structure in accordance with plans which are wisely drawn." The speaker received a splendid ovation as she resumed her seat. Solos by Jean Elliott with her big sister Edna playing accompaniment followed. Since the institute had advertised a 25 -cent supper with wide-open invitation to the public, the whole membership was requisitioned for service. The supper was follow- ed by bridge, and during supper and games Miss Eva Holland entertained the group with piano celections. A substantial sunt was realized.
