MISS WELLWOOD
SPOKE IN THE
UNITED CHURCH
The Occasion Was the W. M. S.
Thankoffering Service.
A service of special interest was
held in ;Wingham United Church on
Sunday morning when Miss Caroline
Wellwood, missionary on furlough
from West China, addressed the con-
gregation.foi• the first time 'since com-
ing home: The entire service was in
charge of ;.the Woman's Missionary
Society, their membersoccupied the
centre pews. It was also the occasion
of their Fall Thank -Offering.
Miss Wellwood has spent twenty
nine�.} ears in the, West China mission
field and told in a most convincing
way of the effects of the Gospel on
the different classes in China. Miss
Wellwood's particular field of labor
has been in the hospital- work.
She supervised the building of the
W.M,S.'hospital in the, city of Cheng-
tu-' and has seen it grow, until last
year, under her efficient management,
it became self-supporting. The ambi-
tion of the Chinese girls to become
trained nurses and thus serve their
own people is shown by the fact that
this year there were 70 applicants in
their hospital when only 12 could be
accepted. Many interesting stories of
the youth of China were told, partic-
ularly :the visit of the Bethel Band,
resulting in many young people de-
ciding to follow the Christ life. Miss
Wellwood also told that seven years
ago the missionaries werealmost for-
ced to leave China by the opposition
pf the Government students, and only
a few months ago, these same stud-
ents thronged in great numbers to
Bear the messages of Dr, Sherwood
Eddy, lecturing under the Y.M.C,A
As a result, many groups for Bible
study have been formed and many
students have become Christians. The
Gospel is also being taught in many
schools where a few years ago it was
prohibited. 'Miss Wellwood made an
appeal that the people at home should
have an increased missionary vision
so that the work abroad be not cur-
tailed,
The music was led by the girls of
the C G.I.T. group and a very ap-
propriate duet, "I'll go where you
want me to go” was given by Miss•
Margaret Partushek and Miss Jean
Christie. The members of the Even-
ing Auxiliary acted as ushers and re-
ceived the Thank -Offering.

ST. ANDREW'S AN-
NIVERSARY SERVICES
Rev. Alex. C. Stewart, of Toronto,
Was the Preacher,
Splendid congregations were Pres-
ent at both services in St. Andrew's.
Presbyterian Church on Sunday when
they held their anniversary services.
Rev. Alex C. Stewart, minister of
Chalmer's Presbyterian Church, Tor-
onto, was the special speaker.
At the morning service he chose for
his Scripture reading the second Epis-
tle of John. The 'text for his sermon
was the 9th verse of this epistle `Who-.
soevee transgresseth and abideth not
in the doctrine of Christ, hath not
God. He that abideth in the doctrine
of Christ, he hath both Father and
Son." He said for us to have a motto.
Paul's motto "The best is• yet to be."
Mr. Stewart, said that the world
considered itself so advanced that it.
is getting away from the teachings
of Christ. Disturbing factors have
their place in our lives, he said, and.
'told of a. book 'that disturbed him,
"Christ Crucified in our Colleges" and
he added, night well say, crucified in
our churches. He spoke of the ad-
vance of science and philosophy, etc.,
but said this availed us nothing if we
lost Christ in this so-called advance-
ment.
Hes spoke : of the present p e twar and
a d
said . it was this so called ad-
vance of to -day that caused this trou-
ble and that the only permanent peace
that could be obtained would be
through Jesus Christ our Lorca. He is
a common bond'that can join all 'peo-
ple to-gether and without Christ's
leadership the -world is heading for
ruin.
Christ is the Leader, :and we have
to stop this so-called advance and fol-
low Him if we are to have peace and
contentment.
At the evening service Mr. Stewart]
spoke on "The Choices of Life."
• The Choir rendered special music
which added greatly to the service' of
praise.'

LIBERALS "WIN
N. HURON FROM
CONSERVATIVES
R. J. Deachman, Secures a Majority
of 571.
The Liberal landslide .engulfed N.
Huron's' veteran' Conservative mem-
ber, George Spotton; when he went
'down to defeat to R. J, Deaehman,'
Liberal, who received a majority of
571. The results were somewhat of
a surprise, not only that the Liberal
majority was so large, but that Mr.
W. J. Henderson, the Reconstruction
candidate, received such a small vote.
R. DEACHMAN
Who received a majority of 571 at
the Dominion Elections on Monday.
The feeling locally was that the Stev-
ens movement would receive a large
share of the ballots and stand a fair
chance of winning.
A total vote of 13,794 was polled
as against 13834 ,last election, an in-
crease of 140, ofi this Wingham's in-
crease was 58, aid in comparing the
figures it looksas if the Reconstruc?
tion Party benefited Most at the ex-
pense of the Conservatives. The tdt-
al vote of Mr. Henderson and Mr.
Spotton was just 199 more than the
Conservatives received in N. Huron
with the additions of Clinton and
Goderich Township,,. while Mr. Deach-
man eeceived .259' -fess than the Liber-
als at the same election,
Mr. Spotton first:represented North
Huron in 1927 when he won ink 3 -
cornered fight ;fro= A. Hislop, Lib-
eral and S. Bricker, Progressive, and
again winning in: 1930 over W. H.
Robertson, Liberal.
About 9 o'clock it was easy to see
that Mr, Deachman was victorious,
and the local Band turned out to as-
sist in the celebration. Following this
Mr. Deachman went on to Brussels
where he was joined by the Brussels
Band, then to Clinton where their
Band also joined in and on to Goder-
ich where an enthusiastic celebration
was staged about midnight.
The vote by polls will be found on

EXHIBITS AT FAIR
WERE BEST YET
Rain Cut Attendance to Small Figure
Winghani Fall Fair is over for a
other year and what would have bee
one of the most successful fairs he
for some time was spoiled from
attendance standpoint by the lied
rain that lasted all afternon and eve
mg. About noon on Thursday a driz
ling rain started and before long set
tied into a most uncomfortable down-
pour. The inside exhibits had been
judged and the other entries were on
the grounds when the rain 'descended
so the directors had the show go on.
The number of exhibits were a record
and the quality in all classes accord-
ing to the judges was even better
than last year which was a banner
year in this respect.
Both buildings were used for ex-
hibits this year and it made a mark
ed improvement. The roots and veg-
etables and grain in one buildin
were not crowdedtogetheras they
were when displayed in a tent and
presented a splendid appearance. One
exhibit of vegetables, by Alex. Stew-
art, of Ailsa Craig, contained 161
varieties of garden produce, all nam-
ed, and is worthy of special. men-
tion. -
The other building was well stock-
ed with exhibits of fancy, fine arts,
baking, flowers, etc., and all classes
were better filled than previous years
and the -work displayed was new and
up-to-date. Jupiter Pluvius by unkind
action made it impossible for people
to see these fine displays which is
truly a shame.
The entries in the horses, cattle,
sheep, pigs and poultry were indeed
splendid but the weatherman made it
very difficult for the exhibitors and
judges and those who tramped about
to see them got a real wetting.
The exhibits of local firms in one
of the buildings added greatly to the
attractive appearance of this building
and were a credit to the exhibitors.
The frrrns who had displays were:
Walker Stores, A. J. Walker, Radio
Shop, lmer Wilkinson, M. Burk and
King ros.

in Canada. The nearest approach was
in 1917 when Sir Robert Bordeu, cam-
paigning as Unionist, elected 153
members. And never before has' one
of the old-time parties fallen so low,
the worst' showing being in 1921
when the Conservatives fell to.50

party elected a man east of the Great
