morning after being ill for 6%'%, weeks.
Mr. Sills had been in the hardware
ltushress in Seaforth for many years, i
was widely known and respected, and
beloved by young and old alike for
his kindly limner and thoughtfulness,!
Mr, Sills was born in Brucefield in
1860 and came to Seaforth when 12
years old, entering the employ of
Johnson Bros., as a clerk. His buss
mess capability soon became apparent
and in five years he was doing the
buying for the firm. After 22 years
Mr. Sills severed his connection with
Johnson Bros, and :started a hardware
store of his own, in company with
Mr. A•Iurdie. For many years he con -,
a prosperous business, under
the uame of George A. Sills & Sons,
winch has been continued by his
sou Frank spree his retirement eight
years ago.
Mr. Sills joined the local lire bit.
gitde:in 1876, when 20 years of age,
and rose front hose man to chief. He
was the last survivor of the original
members of the Seaforth fire brigade.
He took part in the firemen's races
and competitions, Mr. George Murray
and he being considered the best
couplers in the county, the fire team
in which they contested holding the
record for Ontario. He also held a
personal medal for breaking hose and

beaten in Ontario, Mr. Sills helped to
tight the greet fire oe 1876, when the
principal part of Main street, on both
sides, was destroyed.
in those days they had only the old
hand pump aid hose reel, which was
drawn to the fires by a horse. the
first horse arriving at the hall getting
a bonus, which created keen competi-
tion. There were big tanks built, from
which the hand pumps drew their
supply of water. When the tanks gave
out they were obliged to resort to
buckets. The fire of 1876 burned itself
out, the supply of water being entire-
ly inadequate.
Mr. Sins haci always taken a keen
interest in sports and in everything
that • concerned the welfare of the
town. He was a member of the Coun-
cil for three years and was in line
for the mayorship in 1900, but he

Seaforth Collegiate Board for a num-
ber of years. He also continued to

Are You Playing the Part of a
rht
't' Toward the• Church,
Good Citizen,
Do you want to live in a commun-
ity of nation that has • lost the
Church? Do you want your chil-
dren and Loved ones to live under
conditions of godlessness Where
worship his ce red, where rever-
ence has. died, where respect for
morals, law and order has given
way to t state of existence, that
knows nl It itfaints, and expreritts
ii elf in elfishness, lit enae, indif-
ference and stark- materialism'?
-Such would be the conditions of
living if the Christian C'llurc•h were
to be closed. and lost to humanity.
It tiepends on individual nein and
woolen ltl e you. There issomething:
.tremendous at staled in the attitude
you take to the Church. What
would happen to the Clnn'rlt, if
everyone took the attitude toward
the. Church that you doe The way
you spend your iesoura'eS,. and the
things on which you spend them
reveal the kind of person you arc.
The Church is the only iustitation
that risks the individual to give
Voluntarily. Clubs, Lodges, anti
Governments set a fee or tax that
must be paid, or else the individual
forfeits his standing or membership.
The Church stands on higher
ground. She leaves it to the in-
dividual as a matter of honour or
conscience. You are invited to conte
regularly to church, to share in
its activities, and support its work.
By your joining in the public wor-
ship of God, and identifying your-
self with the Clntech, you will help
to save your community from the
worst of sins, the sin of godlessness.
The Church's interest in you is not
tt selfish one, lier one desire is to
help you and enrich your life, She
rejoices in your success and good
fortune, and always points you to
the way of true happiness and
richest blessing. When misfortune
or sorrow cones your way, the
Church brings to you a true syntp-
ttthy and a subliane comf art. Fin-
ally, the Church challenges you.
