S. of the Lon- don Conference Branch, of London, occupied the pulpit in the United Church, on Sunday .morning, when the ladies of the ' W. M. S. were in charge of the service, The members of the Evening Auxiliary, were in charge of the ushering, and the mem- bers of the C.G.I.T. assisted the Sen- ior members with the. choir -music„ with Miss Tena Reid presiding at the organ. Miss Jean Christie was the. soloist for the occasion, he. r selection being "I Come to Thee", Mrs. F. R. Howson took charge for the opening, reading the Scripture, which was taken from Luke, chapter 4:' 16-33, and following the opening prayer, by Mrs. W. H. Willis,. she introduced the speaker. In opening her address, Mrs. Childs referred to the church as a training school, for teaching the work of the Christian Church, and it required the. whole church working at full speed to accomplish the Lord's work. To- day the W.M.S. recognizes the work of the Lord, in the building of the Kin gdoin of God, stating that "Men cannot be forced or thrilled, but could be inspired into the Kingdom of 'God. Illustrating the thought "we believe in the Prince of Peace" Mrs. Childs referred to a beautiful dream, where her guide carried her to a beautiful, fertile country, where people from ev- ery nation were living in harmony, where strikes, crime and suffering usual graveside service, conducted by were unheard of. In concluding, her Rev. Mr. Perkins and Rev. Mr. Gib- son, both of Harriston, tied veterans paraded past the grave, each deposit- ing a poppy on the coffin. The Last Post was sounded. The pallbearers were: A. IvL. Forbes, Wm. Casemore, N. M. Geddes of the local Legion, .and Gordon Bisbee, George Greig and Mr. Evans- of London. The deceased was born in Wing - ham in 1897, the son of the late Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Carruth. He spent his boyhood days here, enlisting With the 161st Battalion, serving in France with the 47th Battalion. On his re- turn from overseas he again lived in Wingham for a short time then going to Detroit, but for the past three years has lived in London. • Besides his widow, who, before her ,marriage was Miss Harriet Williams, -of town, Mr. Carruth is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Ernest A. Aitchi- son and Miss Hattie Carruth, both of Harriston, and Mrs. William Hac- kett, of Blyth, also one brother, Ar- thur Carruth, of Listowel. The deceased was fatally injured early last Wednesday morning when the truck of the Toronto Globe in which he was riding as a passenger, .crashed into the rear of a truck that had broken clown on Highway No. 2, half a mile east of Kentbridge. He died in St. Joseph's Hospital, Chat - :ham,' an hour after the accident. Gordon Lapthorn, driver of the Globe trucic, escaped with a knee in- jury. Lapthorn in a statement, said he was blinded by the glare of head- lights of a car or truck which had stopped or slowed down, near the. spot where the Lancaster Transport had broken down, and, in cone .quence, failed to see it in his path. Lapthorn was on his way to Chatham and Windsor with newspapers for circulation in this district and had taken Carruth with him as a passen- ger, as he wanted to inspect the Walkerside . Dairies at Windsor; He was employed by the . Walkerside Dairies in London.

POPPY DAY ON SATURDAY Buy and Wear a Poppy: Honour the Dead, Remember the' Living, Saturday, November 10th is Poppy Day! There is no heed to explain what Poppy Day means, for °everyone knows that that is the day on which Canadian citizens have an opportun- ity to honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the great con- flict, by wearing a poppy and helping those who went overseas and came back in such a condition that they can never be re-established in civilian work. Poppy Day only comes one a year, and it is only right that the response. to the appeal should be a tremendous. one. The Canadian Legion,Wing- ham Branch, have ordered poppies and there should be no difficulty in disposing of them: These poppies are .made by disabled veterans in mili- tary hospitals and these veterans re- ceive the profits accrued from the sale to the Legion. The Legion in turn disposes of them and .the pro- ceeds are used for relief of war vet- erans and other charitable works. Taggers will be on the street bright and early in the morning and it is to be hoped that by noon every citi- zen will be wearing a little red flow- er. "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not wither, nor the years condemn; At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We shall remember them." There is no better way of rememb- ering them than by buying a poppy on Poppy, Day. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Subscriptions $2.00 Per 'Yea* TWIN $$ DAYS GREAT SUCCESS.
