The regular attendance of the Dis-
ciple Church was not lame b.ut the
ehurch was eattite often filled during
the twenty years it functioned. Even
from Stanley township fifteen miles
away, bhe Butchert family were fre-
quent attend'ants. Goderich and Lon-
don and' Guelph were about the near-
est sister congregations. There was
one main difference between the Bap-
tise and Disciple doctrines: the form-

ily Bible which Mr. Smith 'used in
the McMillan chunch is now kept by
his son, Mr. Smith of Egmonetville.
The pulpit, seats and all the fittings
of the ehurch, with the exception of
of the large chandelier which hung
from the ceiling, were purchased by
bhe• Goderich chtirch when Mr,
Smith's church 'was closed. The finest
pine from Mr. ;Smith's own wondlot
went into the timber sawn at the Go-
venlack sawmill at Winthrop.
!The expenses of buildiag amounting
to around $1,000 were borne by Mr.
Smith. Most of the wOek, however,
was done by volunteer help among
the several families. Mr. Smith Was
of a devout nature en.d possessed a
truly religious character. He was a
man of very deep conviction but alt
the same time, it is said, he had on
at least two occasions conteibuted to-
ward the building of neighboring
ohurthes. After he retired to Seafmth
and left the homestead to Mr. and
Ms. Sane Smith, he continued to
preach in the church until his heallth

Where to Look for Grubs
A speeiall decider jojst issued by
the Dominion Entomological Branch
in connection with white grtib control
in Eastern Ontario for 1933 Includes
.the following statement:
'In planning for ,1933 it should
borne in mind that the gr.eatest num-
ber of grubs are to be expected, in
fields whic'h were in timothy sod or
pasture on light loam, muck or gravel
in the spring 19132. Smaller numbers
of grubs but of serious consequence
can be expected to be present in land
Wh'i'ch was in sedan grains or weedy
hoed crop ns lighter lend in June and
Judy of 1902. The smallest number of
grubs is to be expected' in tand clean •
of crop or well cared for hoed crop
during bhe flight period of the beetles;
while heavy clay or loam can be con-
sidered as likely to be comparatively
free of white gnubs, irrespective of •
crop or culture in the spring of 1932.
