We were remind- ed of the instance' when he visited the daughter of Jairus, when he stop- ped to speak to the woman who touched his garment and when he stopped on the road to Jericho when. the blind man called out to Him. Christ used every Opportunity to point out that all were blind, not merely physically but spiritually. Each dramatic incident was used to show the disciples what theT really needed. If we need Christ, Christ also needs, us: The' blind man who sat by the road that led to Jericho knew that Christ was coming and followed by a crowd. How did he know? Was it the rhythm of marching? the con- versation? the singing? We do not know. Christ first asked the Mian, his desire, then He 'healed hini and the new convert followed Christ, praising God. The blind man knew the crowd were Christians, followers' of Christ. How? They 'were' different, distin- guished from others by that some- thing that they receive when they have yielded themselves to God and are willing to follow Him. They form that bridge that helps one to step 'rem the futility of this material world to the victory of Christ. The challenge to us is this. As we go by, will people say, "Who is that? It happened wherever Jesus went, be- cause He was different. We are not likely to attract attention unless we have , something ,to distinguish us. Does not Jesus still attract? Those who are at first obstinate or hesitant about admitting that eventually yield: We need not think that we must follow a rigid plan, because Christ was never too busy. He welcomed in- terruptions. To return to the inci- dent of the blind man. He did not ask for omney, because he ]mows the real need in his soul can be satisfied.' Christ gave him that spiritual satis- faction. We are too prone, these days, to consider social welfare work and neglect giving the people that which they truly need—the oppor- tunity to know Christ. When we consider how many peo- ple speak of success when they are able to quote members and quantities of money in their• various organiza- tions, we begin to realize that true membership in Christ's Church comes as it did to the blind man. It comes in answer to our need from Christ, a natural spontaneous desire to fol- low Him. It is not for us to decide to follow Christ. It is only necessary that we yield to Him and He will de- cide for us. Christ tells us that He stands at the door knocking. If we open, He will enter. Sometimes it is 'a difficult, soul stirring experience to open the door to Christ, but on the other side we find fellowship with Christ. "Is your Religion attractive? Are you holding un a living Christ that arrests attention? As someone pas- ses by, he may say; `There is a person that has something I want. Have we the real answer to people's problems or do we only temporize and let them go away with their greatest need un- satisfied, because we haven't what they• need, or are blind to their needs? We know the' satisfaction of fellow- ship with our fellow men. How much more satisfying is the fellowship with those who have yielded themsel- ves to Christ. Such fellowship is the spontaneous result of shared person- al experience. True Christians have that fellowship, comradeship, not op- posed to each other, but opposed only to sin. It was on such a rock that Christ said He built his Church. At the conclusionof the address the 'congregation sangthe last' verse of the hymn, beginning, "Take my life and let it ''be." All who wished to go were given the opportunity, but the congrega tion desired to hear more from Can- on Warner and he willingly, told of people, whom he knew, whose lives had been changed, and who were now. living full and happy lives. The unanimous desire of the con- gregation to listen to Canon Warner's interesting and thought-provoking ac- counts, showed that the people had been keenly attracted by what they had heard during the evening. At the meeting held in the morn- ing at the home of Rev. G. G. Burton, ministers were present from Gode- rich, Seaforth, Blyth, Auburn, Lon- desboro, Bayfield, Holmesville, 13ruce- field, Clinton and other points. The conference was addressed by Canon Warner who spoke on the subject, "The Spiritual Endeavour to find strength for the work that lies a- head of us." • In the afternoon at three o'clock at the home of Rev. C. W. D. Cosens, Canon. Warner spoke to a group of men and women andat. at.4 o'clock togroup of young people, helping them, "To Face the Challenge of a fully consecrated Life."

LONDESBORO A very successful "Mother and Daughter" banquet was held under the auspices of the Aimwell Mission Cir- cle on Friday evening last. The school room of the church made gay with hearts and streamers, was a very appropriate setting for the tables at which nearly one hundred guests were seated. Tall white tapers in silver holders burned brightly mid red hearts and streamers, The waitresses were dainty and attractive in Valentine cos- tume. The toast to the King was proposed by Miss Mary Houston after which all sang God Save the King. Mrs. Percy Manning in a few well- chosen words proposed the toast to the Church to which Rev. A. W. Gar- diner fittingly, replied. The toast to "The Mothers" was given by Miss Al- ma Carter. Mrs. J. Knox in her reply after expressing, the appreciation of the mothers, ihr'ew out the challenge to the daughters to be all that their mothers hoped' for and expected from the modern girl with her privileges and opportunities. Miss Ruth Lyon proposed the toast to the younger sis- ters of the' Circle, the Mission Band end Baby Band, to which •Mrs. E. Wood replied. The toast to the Moth- er of the circle, the W.M.S.; was pro- posed by Miss Winona Hesk and Miss L. Young in her reply asked for the co-operation of this daughter of the Society from which will come the lea- ders of the future. The toast to the daughters wad proposed by Mrs. W. Lyon in a delightful poem, and Miss Olive Moon responded. Mrs. W. Hesk then proposed the toast to the Mis- sion Circle to which Miss Thelma Scott replied. A sing -song which was greatly enjoyed by all was conducted by' Miss D. Little. The "travelogue" to which all had been looking forward was then given by Miss Depew of Clinton in native costume. In imagin- ation all trayelled with the speaker•on her totir to the land of the "Midnight Sun", vivid descriptions, souvenirs and pictures made,clear the scenes of the northern countries of Europe and the lives of those living there. A hearty vote of thanks•was tendered the snea- ker by Misses Eileen Knox and Fern Watson. Mr. Gardiner then pronoun- ced the benediction. Mr. Frank Wood has had the hydro Installed in his hone.

Lobb, Goderich township, recently. commendations for the guidance of buyers, and if these recommendations are followed one is not likely to make the mistake of applying unsuitable fertilizers. The: average farmer may not yet be aware of , the importance of the different forms of nitrogen in crop production. Nitrates are more quick- ly'.available in the early spring than other forms , of nitrogen and this commends their nee' for early spring application. Many fertilizer author- ities" now recommend that at least one net. cent of the nitrogen in mixed fertilizers should be in the nitrate form and some manufacturers are already. acting on this recommenda- tion.

Letter From the Flood Area Mrs. John Shobbrook, of Londes- boro received this letter from her brother, who lives in Louisville, Ky.: I hope this will be the last letter for some time T will write you to tell you we have been in distress. Edna said in her letter you knew we were in this flood. " We had no idea it would reach us. Although Thursday they were broadcasting we would no doubt be without lights, and we were only allowed so much water then. It was raining so hard. I went to the store and laid in food that we could use with very little heat. Cook- ed as ham, had peanut butter . and crackers, soup, • etc. Sunday it was still raining. When we got up Sun- day a.m. the water was at the corner. We still didn't think it would bother us, and it didn't rise much until be- tween three and four when it came' up fast and lights went out that night When we got up Monday morning, George couldn't get out with knee boots on, and we were wor- ried as we are on the first floor. He got some breakfast. I didn't eat. A- bout 10 a.m. I saw a man across the street with hip boots and called to him. He carne over. I asked him if he would take me to111. 'That in the middle of this block. So he took me on his back in the middle of the afternoon. I got a boat to come for George. These people lived on the third floor and I felt safe there. The water didn't get in our house, just missed it by 1 inch. Got in next door. Their place is a mess. We stayed at 111 a week. The water kept rising until Wednesday. We had plenty of food, and • the Red Cross would send food boats around and we could get most anything. We didn't have any heat for 3 days. The fur- nace was out. As the basements were flooded. On Thursday the men knocked a hole in the flue and punch- ed some holes in a garbage can. Some ,nen in a boat gave us a few lumps of coal and we had a grand fire.,The only heat we had Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was a two burner oil stove. George bought the oil, 1 gallon, and we had the stove in there and we had to boil water so that took thechill off. We had to boil all the water fortwo weeks. To -day is the first day we don't have to boil it for 20 minutes. We have taken shots for Typhoid fever, and they gave me chills and in a cold bed and no fire I surely thought my time had come. George helped in relief, paddled a boat all one day. Then his broken ribs gave him so much trouble he was glad to stay home the next day. I was just as happy he did, there were so many accidents and so many people drowned. They say the river is full of bodies. The papers say very little about the deaths, but they were plenty. One section (West End) is just completely wiped out. Families separated thatnever will get together again, and homes ruined, furniture just fell apart. _ I took a pair of George's pyjamas (flannel) and wore them all week, night and day. It was so cold I couldn't, take them off, had a pair of his wool sox on. None of us took cold. We ate well, so I guess that helped. Elia w ired me the Sunday it was so bad here, and I didn't receive it until the next Tues- day, week. I answered her and that was the first she had heard. I had written her and asked her to write the others that I was sure we were in no danger but she didn't get the letter. The mail didn't go out. There were no trains in or out of here for a week and all roads were blocked. They had a five -mile limit. Soldiers guarded them, and only relief cars and trucks were allowed in or out. You couldn't get out of here until to -day if we had wanted too. This has been a terrible thing. I can't begin to tell you the horror of it. I haven't been so well after those typhoid shots. Made us both so sick. George was real sick Saturday, but is all right now, and is working every day. If you are ever in a town., and they say there might be a flood, you just move out, It's terrible,; don't think I will ever forget the water running in, this basement, sounded just like the falls. We don't have lights now only can- dles, and I bought a wee lamp. It don't give a very good light, but it's better than a candle. Write us when you have time. Best love for you. all. ST.
