The little lad in some, way got "caught in the back wheel and before the driver noticed he was caught be- tween the wheel and the box and was badly cut, and bruised.: He was rush- ed to the Winglrarh Hospital, where Drs.

April 18th., 1go7. Mr. Peter McLaren,' whose photo appears above was born in Perth- shire, Scotland, and came to this country in 1847. That was the year of the fever epidemic in the oldland and Mr. McLaren's parents died from the disease on shipboard. The seven children of the family the eldest only 16 years of age, were left to work their way in :the new country. The children were taken in charge by an uncle, Mr. Peter McTavish, who set- tled in the 'township of Wellesley,. Waterloo county. Here the subject of this sketch ,attended school and la- ter went to school at Berlin, where he took out a second class certificate and fitted himself for the teaching profes- sion. :He then taught school for: five years in Wellesley. He then attended school in Stratford and secured a first class certificate alter which lie taught school at'Brocic's Den, hear Stratford for eight years, "resigning, at the end of that time, At the time of the Fenian Raid in. 1866, Mr. 'IvieLaren joined the .Volun- teers and was trade Lieutenant of the company at Brock's Den, but the company was never brought intoe ac- tive e service. In 1867 Mr. McLaren married Miss Campbell, a sister of Messrs Peter and Alex. Campbell of this town and the nextspring they moved to Turn- berry, purchasing the 200 acre farm'at the Junction, where he resided until a few years ago when lie retired and moved into. town. Mr. McLaren has seen a great many changes 'in; the : forty years he has spent in this section. We had no railway in this section when he first. located in Turnberry and the W. G. & B. line running through' the front of his farm. Mr. McLaren was com- pelled to shift both his house and barn. Not much of the farm was then cleared, but by hard work the farm was made one of the very best in the township. iVlr. McLaren has for ` over twenty- five years been the Treasurer . of the Township of Turnberry, having been appointed to the position by Mr. Henning, who was for a number of years Reeve of the Township. He. has made an excellent officer and looks well 'after the finances of the Township. The new system of book- keeping ' for Town and Township Tr- easurers introduced by the; Ontario Government some years ago did not interfere with Mr. McLaren's work as he had adopted. the very same system• when he first took the office. Mr. McLaren is .a Presbyterian in religion and has always been promin- ent as a Liberal.

Evangelist Stewart in Baptist Church Sunday evening he gave his first messages from the text in Rev. 1; 1, "The Things .that Must Shortly Come to Pass. He spoke of the great ga- thering in Heaven of whom it is said, And they sung a new song saying Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open •the seals thereof; for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out; of every kin- dred. and tongue; and people and na- tion." He then took us to Chapter seven where' another great company came out of the Great Tribulation and had made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. In closing he told of the solemn picture of Rev, 20, the judgment of the Great White Throne, which ends by saying, "And Whosoeverwas not found written in the book of life was cast into the La- ke of Fire." He mentioned the fact that so many did not believe in the Lake of Fire, but it is in God's Book urged all to be true, He ur g it mustt and learn the New Song of the Blood of the Lainb so they could join the chor- us in Heaven: Died Iii Toronto ' The many friends of Etta Mae, eld est daughter of IVIr. and Mrs. Joh Johnson, will be shocked to hear th she passed away at her home in Tot onto on Sunday, night.

We have in Wingham an artist who has painted many wonderful pictures viz Provin- cial Constable,G. H, Phippen. It was the privilege of the writer to visit Mr. Phippen's art gallery at his home re- cently and we were astounded at the numerous paintings which we were shown, Many • of these were painted thirty and forty years ago and a num- ber: 'have just been completed.

Mr, Bennett who read the Book of Jude as the lesson and tools' as his teat the latter part of verse 3, "Ye Should Earnestly Contend for the fai- the which was once delivered unto the Saints." This is the New Testament clarion call to battle, we must always have a cause for battle and the cause here is the upholding of the faith against all onslaughts. In the early Christian Church, the enemies of the faith were extreme ceremonialism and, sensualism and down through the ag- es there have continued varied enem- ies. We have many helps in our con: tention for the faith, we have our per- sonal. trust in Christ, the experience of grace in the individual soul and the fellowship of those who have the fai- th. Mr. Bennett concluded with an appeal to stand fast to the faith even as Paul did, The address to the children was Particularly interesting, the,subject tl being "Thou God Seest Me". The; speaker illustrated with a $tory and by the use of a pair of field glasses that God secs us when weare good. and when we are bad, Rev. Mr. McIntosh conducted the evening service. The lesson read was part of the eleventh chapter of Gen- - ses andpart of the fifteenth chapter of John, the test being, "Therefore is the name of it called Babel," because the Lord did there confound the lan guage of all the earth.." The speaker presented a vivid picture of the plans for building the city and tower, but - before they were conipleted, God was displeased and confused their speech. What had they done wrong? They • had. left God out of their plans. Phis world is filled with confuson from the same cause, plans fail oftenin politi- cal life and in business life because God is Ieft out. Nations have fallen when they have forgotten God, right- eousness is the only sure foundation- for national greatness. This is also greatly true in • the individual life, .lea- ving God out spells failure for the. in- dividual. Three anthems by the choir were much appreciated.
