Close by way the big hill, for sleigh -riding,': the big creek, with its ice in winter and half a dozen rafts in summer, the deep hole for swimming the islands ancl lefts of trees and bushes. There were enough thrilling adven- tures and batrbreath escapes here to fill a large volume. Just say' "the is- land" to one of the old-time pupils if you want to see their eyes sparkle and a big smile on their faces. The school was also used as a = com- munity kali. Religious set-rites were held in it from titne to time and for years a flourishing Sunday tem.:I was conducted by James 'Wrightmatt, with good results. The section also held the township library.

Wingham Presbyterian Church on Sunday last. I cannot visage, how- ever the beneficient results accruing from this Union that Mr. McGregor considers inevitable. Union does in - strength, but the strength so accumu- deed usually ',1 eventuate in increased lated may just as readily be potent for evil as for good. A Union of two or n•iore bodies, moreover, freqently produces a product in which the sali- ent characteristic of "the originals are ore or less transfigured, and it may. e, completely destroyed.. Mr. McGregor instanced the conflux of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa riv- ers as evidence of the mighty power btainable from union. The potent- lities of this power, however may be eighted with either destructive or nstructive possibilities.

They call e proposed attempt at: unification, ercion; and it is coercion, and just the kind' of coercion that the magni- ficently independent spirit of Presby- terianism resents. A coercion involv- ing ort the part of the aforesaid min- ority e y a sacrifice of belief that is as dear to it as life itself.
