SAVAGE Rev. 11..11, Savage, the popular radio preacher, o'f Pontiac, Mich„ has come and gone and left a splen- did impression of his work and worth, The First 'Presbyterian Church was and filled to capacity by an attentive appreciative audience who closely followed an instructive and inspiring address, A deep rooted and well de- fined love• for humanity seems to move him. The chah was occupied by the 'Rev. T. H. Brown, who after the singing of a hymn and prayer, called on the Paramount Quartette, who rendered -an excellent vocal cont-, brief position. The. chairman paid abrt tribute to the distinguished speaker, then called on Miss ]Florence Beattie, who furnished a beautiful solo in a pleasing voice. Mr. Savage in open- ing made a facetious reference to his sojourn in Ontario. He was treated to speckled trout and 'chicken along with other dainty viands. He was called to Seaforth by the United Church, '9poke in the spacious Pres- byterian Church presided over by an Anglican minister to listen to a Bap- tist preacher. Hc paid an eloquent tribute to ,the'Koine, the foundation of the moral and spiritual character based on the word of God. The home is destroyed ,by the' growing frequ- ency df divorces in America—in 1927 one out of every five marriages. The divorces are appalling. This is doing much to undermine the moral fabric of the Republic. He paid a glowing tribute to the teacher, whether he or she occupy a place in the public school, high school, or college, their influence is wide spread and lasting. Lt is the most noble calling among all professions, not even the ministry excepted. The speaker led up grad - 1 Quag- mire 'The lief then Q S tohis chief wally and the 'Quicksands of a f Doubt mire o Unbelief" The scientists have sown the seeds of Doubt in the minds of many scholars of note and professors of 'religion..

People flocked from every part of. the Old Huron Tract, containing over a mil- lion acres, originally owned by the Canada Company, to do honor to the memory of the brave pioneers, wino blazed the primeval' forest for their descendants and others who came af- ter ,theta, All honor to men like John Galt,It Fr fo le 5eeba oh, Hicks, Van- Egmond,Ransford Dr. Dunlop and others who by their courage and per- severance opened the way which has since become a glorious heritage. The celebration on Labor Day not only marked the one hundredth anniver- sary of the settling of the Huron Tract but also the opening of .the paved highway bet'ween,Stttrnord •and Goderich. Many prominent speakers extolled the work of the early pioneers at the different placed` along the route where suita'b'le cairns were erected. Harpurhey has a beautiful cairn with a tablet containing the name of Col. Anthony VanEgmond. The crowd, including cars. that gathered in and around Harpurhey was enormous. Cars parked and blocked for miles east and west of cairn. Mayor W, H, Golding, who ably occupied the chair Made a splendid though brief, address in which he said that as we read history we do feel honor n who those me that we should through strenuous efforts, left us such a goodly heritage. It was particularly fitting that the memory of Col. An- thony VanEgmond should be honor- ed on the hundredth anniversary of -the date on which he was appointed contractor for the original Huron road, This took place in 1828. One hundred years afterwards, 1928, we are, in conjunction with the honor be- stowed upon the late Col. Anthony' VanEgmond, also paying tribute to the King Co., who on 'behalf of the Government and Cabinet 1ed by the Pion. G. Howard. Ferguson, completed the connecting link between, Seaforth and Clinton, thus making a continu- ous highway from Goderich to Mon- treal. On the- platform were a number of descendants of 'Col. Van'Egm'ond as well as many aged men and women who have seen much of pioneer life, Mrs. Chanters, who was born in Eg- moadviile in 1846 and Thos. Daly, horn in the same place in 1849; Thos. Stephens in his Bath year, A vener- able man to be honored at this time is Mr. Robert Devereaux Sr., now in his 91st year, who seventy-four years ago helped place the first gravel on the Huron Road in this section. Thos. McMillan, M.P., ga'v'e a brief address in which he recalled the won- derful transformation that has taken place. The Huron Tract is settled by the very flower of all nationalities.
