Mr. Robinson, Days of Southern Slavery • Mr. John Holmes writing from his home in Presho, South Dakota to his brother, Mr. Wm.

We belive that after all good old Ws - ern Ontario is a little the best place in the world to live in. Mr. Holmes clipped the following from a copy of the Prescho Herald.

J. Vining secretary of the Armenian Relief Association of Canada, gave his address in the Presbyterian Church on Tharsday evening, March the 13th,„under the W auspices of the , It is to be re- gretted that o larger audience was not present to listen to Dr. Vining tell of the terrible ,suffering endured by the Armenian Nation, all down through the centuries at the hands of the un- speakable Turk. This devoted Chris- tian Nation endured torture and death lather than give up their faith and be- come converts to the Mohammedan ,religion. Not only • this but in the gent War thousands of their finest young men" were treacherously bixt- chered because they refused to fight on the si,de of the Turks against Bri- tain and 'her Allies. Armenia as a ration is almost wiped off' the face of the map, but there are thousands of little Armenian boys and girls living, who witnessed their parents ,„ cruelly butchered by the Turks. Its on bee half of these children that Dr. Vin- ing pleads. No one could listen to the pitiful story without having their heart touched and at the close of Dr. Vining's address, a resolution was moved by Mr. F. J. Hill and second- ed by Mr. T. C. Zing that if the W. I. would undertake to provide for one little Armenian boy until he was edu- cated or trained for some useful call-: ing in life, whereby he could make an honest living the citizens of Wingham and surrounding country would stand loyally by them and work in conjunc- tion with them. This resolution was carried unanimously. The cost of maintaining one little boy until he is eighteen years,' OS age is $moo.00. This amount can be spread. over a period of five years or paid at the convenience of those undertaking the responsibility any time insideof the five years. This work is surely worth while and we believe will have the co-operation, of all the citizens of Wingham and surrounding country. It will llave the blessing of the Mas- ter who said. "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these,, ye did it unto me." Recently the Dr. held a meeting in New Market and in a few minutes $1,800 was subscribed. Every*here the towns and churches and itidivi- dtials are responding most generous- ly to the cause. The Armenian relief is not a side issue, but an appeal to • h-umanity and is nation-wide. The amount suggested a year ago, $.5o for each boy is inadequate. It will cost $1,000 to bring an Armenian boy here and keep hiin on the farm until he is 18 years of age. There are 5o boys on the farm at Georgetown -at the present time and every one has been financially adopted. 'rite Society found it necessary to change the boys' names and give them an English pro- nounciation. One little fellow stead- fastly refused. and said "I'll die first," but since his name has been twice changed. One boy is George K. Mc- Donald, a name greatly honored, and ranks high in the British Empire to- day:. It is hoped that George K. will become a distinguished citizen some day. It would- do us all good, said Dr. Vining, to see the boys salute the flag every morning abont 8 o'clock, and -sing by mereai=y, stanza after stanza of the National Anthem, The first night the boys were at George- town will long be remembered, he said. As soon as the lights were out an awful horror fell upon thein and they saw re-enacted the terrible scenes of massacre, and they were terrified by ghosts. The' lights had to be put on and have remained on at night ever since, Ninety-five per cent. ai e devoted to Agriculture and are taking. the greatest interest in everything around them. The other five per cent, are follo-wing some professional line. Three are training for the min- istry. They are handsome, robust, healthy and intellectually bright and they are going to Make first-cliss Canadians. Everybody who has seen them is proud of, them. Another Weekly Newspaper Gdir Another of the old-time weekly pa- pers has been forced. to cease publi- cation. After forty-five years of ser- vice to its town arid proince, the Yarmouth Times announced its issue of February .2 as the lass. for the pre- sent, and added: ."No plans for the future have been forniulated." Per- haps in no other line of business has there been a proportionately larger death rate than that recorded in the newspaper world in recent years. New Seed Act • Under the old Act it was permiss- able for a farmer, provided the seed was not taken off his farm, to sell - clover and tirnothy without first hav- ing these graded by the Seed Depart- ment Now, all seeds of grasses and clovers sold by fartners, even on their own farms must be first graded be- fore offering for sale, unless sold to a seel merchant to be' re -cleaned. Grade names defined under the Act are registered'Extra No x, No. 1, N'o, 2, and No. 3. The first two mention- ed grades are given 'only, for seed whose -variety are given only for seed whose variety name, through,' field inspection of tie growing crop is known. Seed that will not grade No, 3 is designated rejected and is pro- hibited from sale in Canada. Invited to Lethbridge A Lethbridge correspentient says of a well-known former resident nf this locality:—The acceptance Of Rev. "Bob" Pearson, M. L A. of the pas- torate of Wesley Methodist cluirch, Lethbridge, the largest church in the city, is heartily welcomed by mem- bers of the congregation, also by lead- ing citizens of Lethbridge, who know Mr, Pearson and his reeord. Leth- bridge is giving Calgary a distinguish. cd citizen zit the person of Rev. W, t. MacNiven, -who goes to; the Metho- dist Church, Calgary, in june, Rev, Mr, Pearson succeeding him at Wes- ley here, •"A fair.exehange with Cal- gary iS nnite agreeable all around, We are pleased, indeed to get the ser vices of a inari of the calibre c•f Rev. Captain Pearson, He will find a eordial welcome in Lethbridge", said an influential tier -titer of the congre- gation, • GOSSIP Said Mrs, I3rown to Mrs. Gre'en; "The Whites have had a spat; Be threatened he would slap her face Because she bought a hat; And now, they're not on spealcieg terms What do you think of that?" "Hist, Mrs, Black!" said Mrs, Green, "Didst you hear the latest news?" The Whites have had an awful row And she was much abused; He slopped her face and blacked an asre-, They fear her teeth she'll lose." °Oh, Mrs, Jones, cried Mrs. "Have you yet heard the tale— How Mr. White beat Mrs. White He broke her ribs and craked her sTo pieces with a rail? They've got him now in jail." Then Mrs, Jones passed on the word When 1Virs. Smith was met: "Was it not awful of the Whites? She is unconscious yeti He used a shotgun and a knife; • He'll -hang for this, I bet." So flew the tale on the idle tongues Throughout the little town, Each adding on a spicy bit • As it went its rounds. The ilioral of this tale is plain: • Don't be a Mrs. Brown. St. Patrick's Hymn Perhaps the finest expression that we have to -clay of St. Patrick's splen- did faith is found in his famous hymn known as "The Breastplate" composed at Tara on the eve of that memorable interview with the heathen King, which ended in the conversion of Ire- land. The following verses,' literally translated !from the closing passage of this remarkable hymn, will help to show- the faith by which St. Patrick lived, and which he bequeathed to Ireland: "May Christ, 1 pray, Protect: me to -day Against poison and lire, Against drowning and wounding; That so, in His grace abounding, I may earn the preacher's hirel -"Christ, as 3 light, Illumine and guide me! Christ, as a shield. o'ershadow and cover me, Christ be beside me On left hand and right; Christ • be before me, behind me, about me, ' Christ this day be within and with- out me! "Christ, the lowly and meek, Christ, the All -Powerful, be Itt the heart of each to whom I speak In rhe mouth of each who speaks to me, • In all who draw near me Or see me or hear me.
