November • 15 was conducted by the minister. He chose as his subject "Repentence." He stressed the thought of Repen- tence toward God, and wondered if � due place were given to it in Cana- dian life, in. Politics, Society, Business and even Religion. "Is not our Re - potence more often the result of our woe, than of our sin?" In the evening the service was con- ducted by the Salvation Army Cap- tain Bonar of Clinton was in charge, ' assisted by Adjutant and, Mrs. Mac- ' Tavish of India. The Captain macre a fine appeal to the people, and cre- ated a splendid spiritual atmosphere. ! Mrs. MaoTavish gave a most inter- esting account of her life and worac in India where she and her husband have labored for 15 years. She gave a most touching picture of the conditions of the home life, the climate, food and religion of the peo- ple, the hardships and suffering which they endure, making us all real- ize more fully our blessings here, and we hope awakening us all to greater interest in the cause of missions. The Adjutant followed with a gra- phic story of his life and work among the lowest and criminal class in In- dia, telling stories of lives being changed and won for Christ amid,al- most hopeless conditions. There was a splendid attendance and the offering went in aid of the Army. Remembrance Day was observed in .Bayfield with a brief service, at the cairn in the square conducted by Rev, R.

In Swamp A safe containing $1,250 in .checks and cash was carted away by robbers from the office of the Huron Produce Association at Brussels during last Sunday week. ' It was found in '" a swamp 15 miles clistant, by Consta bles, P. E. McCoy and John Ferguson, at 9 o'clock Monday, morning. The safe had been forced open and $45 in silver stolen, while $1,210.15 in checks had been strewn about the swamp' and adjoining side road by the rob- bers, as though in disgust. "I. don't know how many were in-' volved , in the robbery, but it took four 'constables to put the safe back in its place," Provincial Constable Me - Coy said, after spending all day on the. case. The robbery was discover- ed at 7 o'clock Monday morning when employees reported for work. " The front door had .been forced open. Believed to be the work of an or- ganized gang of raiders, it , is the fourth safe robbery, or attempted robbery, in..Huron County in three weeks.. Two others were at Wingham and one at Seaforth. - Canadian Woman Writer, Former Huron President, Died In United States. Agnes C. Laut; writer of romances and histories, journalist and magazine writer, died at her home i n Wassaic, N.Y. on Sunday last.. Miss Laut was born in Kingston, her grandfather having been at one principal of, Queen's University, but part of her early life was spent in Stanley township,where her father, John Laut, farmed on Lot 12, London Road, the farm now occupied by Fred Burge, and she went to school at No. 10, Stanley, which was taught at that time by George Baird, Jr. Mr. Levi Stong, who also went to school at No. 10, remembers Agnes Lain very, well as a "beautiful look- ing, modest, studious little girl," and he has followed her career with inter- est ever since. Many others in Stan- ley, or who spent their childhood in Stanley, will also remember her. The newspaper reports of her death and literary works do 'not say any- thing of the family's Stanley town- ship experience, but they must have resided there some time. There were four girls and two boys in the fancily, and Mr. Stung says they were an intellegent family, being a little aloof from their neighbors, which was no doubt caused 'by a background of culture, possessed by few others in the community. "But John Laut was a fine man". he said., They attended the Brucefield Presbyterian Church, where Mr. Last taught a class in Sun- day school. The family went to Manitoba when Agnes was young and she travelled all through the western territories, writ- ing several books on the west. For a time, she was editorial writer on the staff of the Winnipeg. Free•Press,and later contributed to many Canadian, British and United States magazines. Among the books written by Miss. Last were: "Lords of the North" Heralds of Empire," "The Story of the Trapper," "Pathfinders of the West," "The Hudson Bay Company," "Canadian Commonwealth," Pioneers of the Pacific Coast, "Conquest of Our Western Empire," and several others. She was also for many years in- terested in social work, especially a- mong children, investigating condi- tions in many parts of the United States, where she had for several yoars made her home. Wallace J, Laut, who was killed by a train at Timmins a couple of weeks ago, was a nephew. She was a worthy daughter of Canada and one of which we may be proud. AUBURN Mr. and Mrs. Robert Turner and family visited at Benniller. Mr. and Mrs, Stephen Medd and son Donald and Mrs. J. C. Moss, Woodstock, visited with Mrs. John Medd. Mr. and Mrs. Mel.

Dear Editor: I recently overheard tea remark from a storekeeper, "I won't keep ^rny store closed next year." On the query being made as to why it had to be, the reply was: "Oh, the veterans=they get mad if you don't. , Let me assure this storekeeper that the local veterans don't care a. fig whether you close your .store or not, if that is the spirit in which you clo it. If Armistice. Day has no wider' meaning for you—if in your heart you have no thought for those over there who never had an _opportunity to keep a store in Clinton but who! died that you might keep one, by all means,keep your store open, But let me repeat -they died that you might have a store! What a change in twenty -years. We were going to do so inueh for those who joined. the colours.. Our gratitude was' to. be ' so everlasting. Now we have forgotten the .graves We have forgotten those still on sick beds all these years. We have for- gotten' those in our midst who have suffered and will suffer ill -health to the end and yet in spite of disillusion- ment and the horrors of hell they suffered for our sakes, have re-es- tablished themselves are quite use- ful citizens going about their bursi- ness with no mention of the fearful odds they have overcome (odds this storekeeper will never conceive of). 'What a little, little thing to do— to close our stores for a day! They, say gratitude to the Indian is a pas-' sion, to the white man merely a sen- I timent. It seems as though to some of us, it isn't even that! "What Price Freedom." —Wife -of -one -of -them. LONDESBORO The Women's Institute met oh Thursday last with a splendid atten- dance and Mrs. E.
