Dr. 3, G. I'nkster's Address Very Im-
pressive and Interesting.
On Monday evening St. Andrew's.
Chinch was well filled when the
Westminster Guild held a very spec-
ial meeting and had as their guests
the Young • People of the: various coin-
6
6re�•many'
in town,'as well as
from outside points.
The - meeting opened with hymn
723, after which Rev, Mr. MacLean,
who acted as chairman, called on Mr.
George Henderson who sang as a
solo "That Perfect Love," Mr. Mac-
Lean led in prayer followed by a solo
by Mr. Lloyd Ilunkin "l Come to
Thee:" The Scripture reading, 21st
chapter of the Gospel of St. John, was
:was skinned and hes head scratched read, after which Mr. Weir Elliott
and she was badly shaken but not sang "The New Jerusalem:"
seriously hurt. Mr. MacLean introduced the guest
speaker of the evening, Rev. Dr, Ink-
ster, of Knox Church, Toronto. 'He
spoke first of the Jew and .his rela-
tion to the church. We find the Jew
the storm -centre all over the world,
and with 100,000 Jews returned to
Palestine since the war, there have
been many changes and much strife.
There is no depression in Palestine
— these Jews have built houses,
planted vineyards, and made match
progress in industry, creating a tran-
sition from the ancient to the modern
in such a short time that bitter feel-
ings have been aroused between the
Jew and the Arab.
In describing the interesting places
he visited Dr. Inkster used colored
slides. The harbor of Haifa and the
excavations .at Akkn were very inter-
esting. Here he entered the ruins of
the stables King Solomon built for
his horses, one of which would. house
200. Also the house he built for one
of his wives, who was Pharaoh's slau-
ghter. This all corresponds with the
description found in the. Bible.
'He showed Mount Carmel and a lit-
tle hollow on the slope, a perfect am -
tion, visited at Brussels over the week phitheatre, where Elisha built the al-
-end with his friend, Chester Rintoul. tar and offered the challenge.
Miss Emma Walters, Toronto, who Tyre, the ancient city, is totally des-
troyed, but a new town has arisen,
also. Sidon; an ancient city still stand-
ing, although its streets have run with
blood, thus fulfilling the ancient pro-
phesies of the Old Testament.
Beautiful pictures of the Mount of
Beatitudes, Capernaum, and Mary's
Well at Nazareth, places where 'our
Lord must have walker many times,
should make the gospels clearer to
all.
An interesting scene at the Wail-
ing Well outside Jerusalem, showed
Jewish women praying every day, es-
pecially Friday -first for the Jews to
return to Palestine, second for the re-
building of Jerusalem and third for
the temple to be rebuilt.
The Jew needs a deeper knowledge
of his own Scriptures, and only the
teaching of Jesus Christ can bring
peace out of chaps, not only in Pales-
tine between Jew and Arab, but all
over the world. .
All were invited to go to the Sun-
day School robin where a bounteous
lunch was. served by the ladies of the
congregation, during which the Sun-
day School Orchestra entertained ev-
eryone with their music, all of which
went to make a very pleasant and pro-
fitable evening.

FULL HOUSE
GREETS 'THE TIDE"
Play by Local Legien ,Much Enjoyed.,
e Before a crowded hall on Tuesday
night, the local Postt of the Canadian
Legion presented the play "The Tide"
and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all
Present, and there is every indication
Present,
that to -night (Wednesday) the Town
Hall will be again crowded to see this
presentation.
The play takes the audience back
to the days before the war, in 1908,
when Nicholas Brent -(Reg. Douglas).
a young actor, through the loss of his
father .and mother, is left alone with
'his !cid brother; Steve. (Billie Scott).
The Prologue \vas divided into two
scenes at Brent's flat in London and
showed the . devoted manner with
which Nicholas Brent had toward his
kid brother Seve and the trials and
tribulations of raising the boy.
The world was plunged into war,
and the first act was dived 'into two
scenes in a rest billet behind the line
in 1918. To the old soldiers these
scenes were most familiar and to oth-
ers they' portrayed: the cheerful man-
ner of the soldier when at rest, and
the tragedy that was ever present dur-
ing those days. The familiar war
songs and the :depicting of billet life
was a source of geeat enjoyment to
the audience, Sevenow 18 years old
(Dr. G. W. Howson) arrives on his
way up the line and with the excep-
tion of his brother, who is very sad
that the kid is on his way to the
front, is given the usual soldier's send
off. Three weeks later news is receiv-
ed that Steve was missing, believed
killed.
The orderly room at Meadhampton
Hospital is the scene of the next act.
Nicholas Brent is a patient in this
hospital, having been badly wound=,d
and suffered in mind as well over the
loss of his brother. Word is received
by Lieut. -Col. P. W. Armitage (W.
VanWyck) the officer in charge of
the Hospital, that Steve had been a
German prisoner and was coming to
see his brother.
Plans were laid •Oto bring the two
together. With the assistance of Sis-
ter. Margaret Henderson (Rev. E.
Hayes) after much difficulty the re-
union is effected:
In 1918, the boys when in billet, had
planned for a re -union in 1928. This
took place in Nicholas Brent's flat in
London and made up the third and
closing act. ghat a joyous re -union
it was, such as have been held hund-
reds of times since the war. Witit the
singing 'of the old songs again and
the meeting of the comrades from ov-
er there.

DOGS ATTACK AND
KILL YOUNG DEER
A ,young deer was attacked by two
dogs one and one-quarter miles west
of Browntown, on the second conces-
sion of Morris. The deer was in the
creek and when it attempted to make
land the dogs would spring on it.
Marks showed where it was in and out
of the water more than once. Men
from the farm nearby saw the dogs
and hurried to the scene but the ani-
mal was torn down and killed before
they arrived.
The game warden of Listowel was
notified and upon investigation left
orders to have the deer skinned and
the pelt will be sent to the Govern-
ment.

BASEBALL FANS
ELECT 1934 OFFICERS
Club Applies For Bruce League
Berth.
'A fairly small but none the less en-
thusiastic collection of baseball fans
attended the annual meeting of the
Wingham. Baseball Club held Thurs-
day evening in the Council Chamber.
After the reading of the Sec.-Treas.'
report by Wilbur Tiffin, who fortun-
ately was able to report a small bal-
ance on hand., a new slate of officers
was elected for the coming year: As
was expected Most of last year's of-
ficers were re-elected and very for-
tunately these were willing to cariy
on another year. A few new names.
were added to the list which appears
at the end of this article.
Some time was consumed in the
selection of a manager, several names
being considered, among them Norm.
Geddes, Howard Sherbondy, Jack
Lockridge and Dr. Geo. Howson. The
committee deemed it very necessary
that the manager be' available for
practice sessions as well as the actual
games and after much discussion
Howard Sherbondy drew the assign-
ment. It is possible a couple of as-
sistants will be named later to aid the
manager in the coaching duties.
The club decided to apply to the
Bruce League for admission to that
loop if suitable arrangements can be
made. This should provide local fans
with the best brand of ball seen lo-
cally for some years. It is possible
the locals will have a new hurler in
the person of Bob. Chalmers, of Ac-
ton, a better than average right-hand-
er, and if the club can secure his
transfer should make things interest-
ing
nteresting for several Bruce loop clubs.
Much adverse criticism .was heard
concerning the condition the park was
left in this spring due to the dump-
ing of snow from the streets on the
diamond, Which now is in a deplorable
condition. Much work will have to
be clone to get the park into condition
fur good baseball, and the grounds
committee has no easy task ahead of
it. The club will apply to the town
fathers for aid in clearing up this
matter.
It is expected the club will stage
an exhibition game on May 24th if
said game doesn't conflict with sele-
brations already planned. This should
help raise some money to start the
club off right.
Below are tate officers elected for
the ensuing year
Hon. Presidents—Mayor Hanna, H.
C. MacLean, J. Mason.
President—W. H. Gurney.
lst Vice Pres. -J. Reavie.

Awarded $300
A Walkerton jury on Wednesday
night last week after two hours delib-
eration, granted. $300 damages to Mrs.
Mabel Stewart of Gorrie in her suit
for unstated damages against the.
Canadian National Railways. The
matter of costs was left to the court.
Mrs. Stewart claimed that on May
30, 1933, while she was travelling from
Bluevale to Goldstone, the train was
not stopped long enough at the late
ter place to allow her to alight from
the patforni of the car, that she was
not rendered assistance in stepping on
the station platform and the train was
restarted without warning causing
her to break her right leg and dislo-
cate her ankle.
