The Western Ontario Firemen's As- sociation met in the Town Hall here on Sunday afternoon for their annual Church Service. After assembling at. the High School grounds the Firemen: eight brigades strong, in an impress- ive parade, marched to the Town Hall headed by the Wingham Citizens' Band. A large crowd of citizens lined the street and the hall was filled to capacity: The choirs from the various ,churches led in the music. The service opened with the Dox- ology after which Rev, E. C. Smith offered the Invocation. All joined in singing "0 God, our Help in Ages Past," following which Rev. J. F. An- derson led in the responsive reading of Psalm 91. After, Rev. F. L. Rob- erts led in prayer, Mr. Jack Reavie, sang a delightful solo "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Rev. Kenneth MacLean preached the sermon, taking as his text, Isaiah 24:15 "Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires." He drew the attention of his Isteners to the fact that we all have ,to face fires in the form of per- secut:ion, troubles and temptations. We glorify God not Only in worship but by doing our very best in every phase of our life. The firemen,:nust be men of courage and must in heroic spirit -go forth ready to make any sacrifice. We expect the firemen to be prompt, to be absolutely honest. Unselfishness must be found in ev- ery fireman and many times we find the fireman risking his life for others. ,They are expected to save others 'if they can but not to throw away their own lives needlessly. They are all facing the same danger and this forms a brotherhood and binds them toge- ther. In closing his remarks Mr. Mac- Lean said "These attributes are not only necessary in the character of a :fireman but should be found in every Christian man and woman and we must all set ourselves against the greatest fire of all—sin. It is the com- mon enemy. Following the singing of "Fight the good fight with all thy might" the service was closed with Rev. E .C. -Smith pronouncing the Benediction.

THEATRE CROWDED - LAST WEEK "The House of Rothschild" which was shown at the Lyceum Theatre last week was one of the best pictures shown here in some time and the theatre was ctowded to capacity for every performance. Many wondered what it was that the Jews touch with their fingers when entering or leav- ing their home. The following is an explanation° of this custom: The inazuzzah, which you can see Oh the door -edges of orthodox Jewish homes, is a small tin sheath in which is held a piece of parchment •inscrib- ed with the great Jewish prayer which starts, "Hear, 0 Israel, the Lord thy God is one. Through a small hole in the metal sheath appears the word "Shaddai," which is one of the' many Hebrew melees of God. The idea of the Mazuzzah is an ev- er-present reminder to the Jew that life belongs to God in the home and in the world, So a Jew, when he goes out of his homoe into -the -street, tou- ches and kisses the, rnazuzzali, and when he comes into his house, he touches it again. In modern times some of the. meaning has been .lost, and the mazuzzali is a sort of good luck token, and is touched 'to keep away evil, like knocking on wood. MORRO CASTLE BURNS AT SEA 133.
