Stewart, well known retired blacksmith of Seaforth, tells this story. Once upon a time a minister con- sulted onsulted one of his church managers about making an appeal to the con- gregation for necessary funds. "You make the appeal from the pulpit", his manager said. "Leave the rest to nie." It happened that the manager was an electrician by trade and he set to work and ran a wire beneath all the seats in the church. On Sunday the minister made the appeal to the people, and asked everyone to stand up who would contribute a dollar. Everyone im- mediately sprang to their feet, may- be partly aided by the shock admini- stei'ed by the electrician at the ap- propriate moment. "That's wonderful," the minister said. "Now will all stand who would care to give $2.00" That appeal also met with a good response, as did a further appeal for 85.00 contribu- tions. But that isn't the end of the story. When the congregation were going out they found two Scotsmen in the back seat, electrocuted. DANCE AT ST. COLUMBAN Friday, March lst. Bayfield Valley Five Orchestra. Ad- mission 60c.
