As the East- er season approaches our :minds dwell more on that love, which caused Jes- us Christ to come to the Earth; and after a sinless life of persecution and trial to die the terrible death of the cross, in order that you and I might enjoy eternity with Him. The more we ponder this question the more we realize our unworthiness to share His Honie with Him. During recent days we have had visitors from other lands and how proud we have been to wet- come them to our fair shores, Jesus comes everyday to the door of our hearts. He has clone more for us than any earthly friend will ever do. Are we giving Him a welcome or are we turning Him away? After nineteen hundred years we look at Christ, nailed to the tree. We wonder many times how we could have had anything to do with that cruel death and yet each day Christ is standing before the bar of our jud- gment and we are Jelling out Crucify Him! 'Crudity Him! We pass judgement on' Judas for selling Christ for thirty pieces of sil- ver yet we sell Him for a great deal less than that, How? It may be that some one comes to us who has need to be directed to Him. ,We are ash- amed to let it be known that we have taken a stand for Him, so we refuse to say that word and thus we eve sold Him; in regard to our_ amuse- ments we have sometimes sold Him for a sleigh ride, a skiing party or some other such form of sport. Christ encourages us to take pleas- ure in these things but not on His day or when we should be in the as sembly of His people. There are many other questionable amusements for which we have sold Christ; in dis- honest dealings we have sold Him, even for as little as the price of a quarter of a yard of cloth; our price for Him, has been a few 'potatoes or some undesirable fruit or vegetable which we have put under the top of a basket or bag; His price has been an unkind word. As we look over ,our day we will simply be stunned at the low price for which we have sold Him. The story is told of a young girl who had been brought up in a Christ- ian environment. She was a Stanley School teacher, but allowed herself to drift into the company of some people who had no use for the real things of life; For that reason she was in- vited to a weekend party and on the Saturday evening some scoffing re- marks were made about Christianity. Afraid to be thought queer she join- ed in them. Fortunately her muscie- nce was not quite dead and during the night she came face to face with her Saviour, with the result that the next morning she said to her host, Please excuse me from that party you've planned for today: I want to bo to church to stand up for my re- ligion. I am a Sunday School teacher at home and really I did not intend to desert my Master. There was sil- ence for a moment, then her host said, "My brave girl you are a real Christian." The result was the break- ing up of the party for the day, and some of them at least attended the church service. How many of us would have had the courage to stand up for Christ like that? . Would we have sold- Him foe the Sunday ,party? Had the inspired writers of the life of Christ finished their naaative with the story of the 'eruelficions would we today have hacl any Christianity in the world? No!'oue' hope for eter- nity lies in the iesmz•eotion of Christ, Had Christ not risen from the dead He would not now be setting at the right hand of God. We would have no opportunity to choose Hini as our Saviour, "Because I live ye shall live also." It is a living Christ whom v?e worship, not At dead Christ, "Teach ane to live that I,may dread The grave as little as my bed; Teach me to die that so I may Rise glorious at the judgement day.". It is said that in the catacombs at Rome there is a marked difference between the wording on the memor- ial.of Christian and of unbelievers. There is very seldom any reference to immortality in the heathen ep- itaphs, but those of the Christians abound in" hope. Are we not thank - Ad that. Ie have, a belief which will give no a hope for the future? The resurrection is the basis of our hope. The fact that Christ is a living- Saviour gives us the assurance that although unseen, we may ;be. co-work- ers with Him and as we take Him as our Master and Friend we may have Christian fellowship with those who like us have received Him as their Saviour. Nr matter what gatherings we attend we can never go to any where we will have =Oh a joyous time as we do when we meet in two's and three's to hold sweet fellowship with Ilim. As we meet we must ling- er inger about the Gross and the empty tomb for the centre of our religion is to be found in the empty tomb and theiralone, our Christ is a living Saviour. We need to feel that Christ is our companion not only 'en Sunday in His House, but. He is with us every- day and every hour during the week. He wants us to accept Him, As He walked with the two disciples on the way to Emmaus so He will walls with us. "The stone, the watch, the seal", could not keep Christ from breaking the bonds of death and coming to us. No store can adversity trails and dis- appointments come between us and our Guide. They simply draw us closer to Flim. As we talk to Him in prayer we know that the risen Lord will meet us when we need Him Most. "Look, ye saints! The sight is glor- ious; See the man of Sorrow now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow. Crown the Saviours angels crown Him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; In the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of Heaven rings. Sinners in decision crowned Him, Mocking thus the Saviour's claim; Saint's and angels ;crowd around Him, Own His title, praise His name. Hark, those bursts of acclamation! Hark, those loud triumphant chor- ds! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Hirai •Crown Him! King of Kings and Lord of Lords! • PEG.

Naturally its receipt considerably gratified him as it, parts him ahead of a couple of his cronies between whamand himself there ex- ists a friendship rivalry as to the merits of their flowers and fruits. The Chief thinks—who would think otherwise — that a diploma all the way from Par-ee is rather more val- uable than one given by, say the West Huron Horticultural Society. Last Friday morning Mrs. John W. Watkins passed from time into et- ernity. She had enjoyed good health up to the Saturday previous, a14 it was not until Monday that she be -1 came seriously ill, the desease defy- ing the combined skill and experience of the medical men. The deceased was .only four years married' and leaves a husband and two small children to 'nougn their great loss. Mrs. Watkins, who was only in her 26th year, was d daughter of the late Richard Brown of Londesboro Mr. George Rathwell, who has been' in Mr. T.

Mr. Sidney Jackson left on Tuesday a.m. for Montreal where he has a sit- uation. His many friends in Clinton will be pleased to learn that lie likes the city and is doing well. Mr. Ernest: Jackson left for Wood- stock Sat. where he has accepted a position. Mrs. F. W. French and her son Wilfred of Napanee are the guests of her mother, Mrs. Taylor, Ratten- bury street. Mr. French, who is a B.A. and a member of the teaching staff of the Napanee High School, has given up that position and after spending Easter with his wife,, will continue his studies in the Chicago University. Mr. Will Lowery of Goderieh town- ship returned home' in Friday night after completing his course at the. Ontario Veterinary College. He was a diligent student and plugged away. many an hour when .he should have been wrapped in sleep but it has en- abled him to pass his exams with fly- ing colors and now he may be styled Doctor: !Sr. Lowery, has not yet de- cided where he will lactate but it is just possible he may decide upon PAGE7 hanging out his shingle at Dungan- non. FROM THE CLINTON NEWS- RECORD MARCH 20TH; 1916 Joseph W. Rattenbury of the' Rat- tenbury House, son of the -late Wil-_. ham 'Rattenbury, the founder of 01in ton, passed away at his home here en Sunday last. The name of Rat- tenbury is inseparately bound up. with the early history of Clinton. It wan Willam Rattenbury, who, corning' here in 1844, ;sought up considerable' property, laid out the house and star- ted the first public house which was known as the Rattenbury Inn, and the "Corners" soon came th be called Rattenbury's Corner, instead of Van- derburgh's :Corners, which name it took from its first settlers who carne in 1831, A( little later Mr. Batten - burry renamed the growing village Clinton, a 'name which gave entire satisfaction to all and which no doubt the town will continue to be known as long as it stands. The subject of this sketch first saw the light of day in the nonage on Rattenbury street now owned and occupied by Dr. Gandy ler and the 66 years of his life were practically all spent in Clinton. For many years he has been the genial host of the Rattenbury House, which hasalways been a popular stopping place amongst those who had occas- ion ccasion to travel this way, and "Joe" Rat- tenbury was widely known and much liked by the commercial men and all who had from time to time taken ad- vantage of the hospitality of his house. In 1883 Mr. Rattenbury was united in marriage to Mist Martha Logan of Goderieh, daughter of the late William Logan, who with one son, Issae and one daughter Dorothy, survives him. ' Mr. W. D. Wiseman, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wiseman, who has been a member of the famous North- west" Mounted Police for almost five years, has resigned to join the 61st, Battalion which is now in readiness for overseas service. He had in view joining "The Hurons", the Home County Battalion, but as the 161st is practically just entering upon its training and the Slat, is fit he decid- ed for the latter, desiring to get right on to the firing line as soon as pass- ible. Mrs. Dowding received a cable Mes- sage from her son, Captain Dowding on Sunday evening announcing the safe arrival of the 33rd, Battalion in England. They are now in camp at Shornoliffe. Prof. Bristowe, who had the mis- fortune some little time ago to fall injuring one of his limbs, had this week to undergo an operation for the removal of an abcess which resulted, Mire. Gunn is taking the.organ itt Wil- lis church for a few Sundays while the Professor is indisposed. A meeting was held in the council chamber on Friday evening and a society was organized to be known as the Young Ladies Patriotic Aux- iliary. Thirty nix members were en- rolled at this meeting and the follow- ing officers were elected: President, Miss Beatrice Green; 1st Vice, Miss Clete. Ford; 2nd Vice, Miss E. M. Chidley; 3rd Vice, Miss Livermore; Secretary, Miss Hattie Courtice, Treasurer, Mrs. J. B. Lavis, Robert Hanna, a young married farmer residing on 300 acres of land near Milverton, a brother of Mrs. S. S. Cooper and Miss E. Hanna of Clin- ton, has up to the test the proposal that retired farmers return to the land to release younger men for ser- vice in the army. To Messrs. Thom- as Lennie and Colin Kerr, of Mornl- iiigton, retired farmers, Mr. Hanna made the offer to insist in the 110th Battalion if these men would goy out and, work his farm at $1.10 per day each. The offer was accepted, and on Monday; Hanna was attested in the "Perths." FROM THE CLINTON NEW EtA MARCH 30TH, 1916 A hockey snatch which aroused a considerable interest and gathered a large crowd of spectators was played off in the local rink on Friday ev- ening when a team of Mitchell young ladies came up and played a friendly match with' Clinton lady's hockey. team. The local line-up was as fol- lows: goal, Ruby Camelia; point, Mab- el Cantelon; oover point, Ila Bowden; right wing Sherley Bawden; left wing Stella Copp; centre, M.' Bramfield; rover, Margaret Schoenhals. The score at the conclusion of the game stood 3-0 in favor of the home team. Mr. Eddie Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Miller, -Orange street, who was an employee of the New Era, and who left here to work on the Listowel Banner, two years ago, is now running the big linotype re- cently installed in that offce. We predict that "Tip" as we tailed him will soon become an expert at this machine as he was a good operator on the Roger machine.

Huron County Centennial • Date Is Set Committees are•Named for Event Huron County will observe its 100th anniversary this year and the occa- sion will be officially marked at a centennial celebration being arranged for Goderich, the County Town, on Wednesday, June 25th, a meeting held in the Court House Wednesday evening decided. The meeting, Called by Reeve Robt. E. Turner, of Goderich, chairman ofi the Centennial Committee set up, by county council at its January session, was attended by representatives of various parts of the county. Tree -planting will be a part of the celebration, the arangements of which were left in charge of a com- mittee with E. C. Beacom, inspector of public schools for south Hurons as chairman.

Voice of the Red Cross We have received literally hundreds of letters from the recipients of our Red Cross Ooniforto. Most of these are from grateful mothers, and in these there is almost always some re- ference to the quality and style of the garments which seem to appeal to them very much. A typical letter would read: "Thank you so much for the lovely warm garments which the Red Cross sent me last week. The sweater, cap and trousers have made it possible for my John to go to school and he is so proud of his nice new clothes. Will you please thank the kind women of Canada for me." The children were even snore appreciat- ive, because everything they received was new, and many of these evac- uees apparently tvere not used to the luxury of a complete new outfit. And you may ask, how are these supplies given out? Though it is necessary to keep an ample reserve 'of comforts and hos- pital supplies, because we are a long way from home and shipping is dna fieult, we do not try to . keep any great reserve of clothing and blank- ets, but pass these on to those who' are in distress, as so= as possible. An emergency call to the Red Gross will bring relief supplies to a dis- tressed area in a very short time. When such a call comes, we tele- phone tluough to one of our ware- houses aubsid'e of London; the order is filled immediately and our own trucks deliver the clothing bo where - ever it is needed. In some cases the supplies may be sent directly from the docks should that method be more expeditious. In the London ' area they are delivered to tate Charities Organization Society, which sees that they are placed in the proper hands, through their social service workers in the various districts. In cities out- side London they are usually distrib- uted through the Women's Voluntary Services, which operate in every part o fthe country. SCOUT NEWS Not every one knows that Bayfield has a flourishing troop of Boy Scouts, thetroop however was organized on Monday the 21st October and has been meeting weekly ever since, through the kindness of the Board of Management of the United Church, in the United Church basement. The Reverend J. Graham is the Scout Master and the Reverend Harold Cur- rie the Assistant Scout Master, and the boys of the troop. are, Lloyd' Pea- se, Oliver Hobson, Clarence Larson, Wilfred Castle, Charlie Guest, Wil- liam Elliott, George Bell, Donald Mc- Leod, Pat Graham, Arnold Makins, John' Campbell, Ervine Pease, Garf- ield Westlake, Keith Brandon, and Glen Brandon. The following boys have Passed the first test, Clarence Larson, Garfield Westlake, Donald McLeod, Pat Graham, Glen Brandon, the following have passed the second test, Clarence Larson, Donald Mc- Leod, Lloyd Pease, and Wilfred Cas- tle, the following have passed test number three, Donald McLeod, •Clar- ence Larson, Lloyd Pease, and Wilf- red Castle, these four boys have also passed test number four, and Lloyd Pease has passed test number five Perhaps for the benefit of'the parents and public we might have room to say that test number one consists of ten parts,' all of which a scout must 1 know and also put into practise. 'First, 'a Scout's Honour is to be trusted, secondly. a Scout is loyal to the King and to his officers, to his 1 parents, his country, - his employers or employees, and to his comrades, thirdly, A Scout's duty is to be use- ful and to help others, fourth, A Scout isa friend to all, and a brother to every other Scout, five, A. Scout is courteous, six, A Scout is a friend to animals, seven, Ar Scout obeys the orders of his parents, patrol leader or Scout Mastery without question, eight, A Scout smiles and whistles -tinder; all difficulties, nine, A, Scaut is thrifty, and number . tens A Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed. Maybe from time to time we can tell more of the progress the boys are making. = 33/4% On Guaranteed Truat Certificates A legal investment for Trust Funds Unconditionally Guaranteed T HR STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION STERLING TOWER TORONTO.
