Short- ly after leaving St .Paul we came in- to Wisconsin. We left Minneapolis with not a very good impression of the state as a farming place, as we saw it, the only redeeming feature was their roads, and markings of the same, Its no trouble to find your way, and the roads are ideal. On Wednesday leaving Hudson, we -took the State Highway for Lacrosse, head- ing for IVIillwaukee. As we Journey ed through Wisconsin our impress- ions were not very good as a farm- er's homes, sand, sand, everywhere. Perhaps they build their 'highways through the poor land, so as to leave the good land to pay for them. From Columbus to Milwaukee, a distance of 65 runes ,the •land +is better and things look prosperous, fine buildings hay, corn, potatoes and Holstein cows seem to make it look good, and with the exception of 65 miles south of Em- ersoe, the only land we saw that an 'Ontario farmer could get a living off. For six hundred miles of the way did not see enough crops to hold one of Geo. Jorden's big machines two days. We spent Thursday night in a city called Racine in Illinois. State, and had poorest night's rest of our trip. They took us up to the third story in elevator and gave is a room facing on front street, with street cars and motor cars tearing up and down the street all night. An all night service of everything but sleep. How- ever it gave us a good start in the morning for Chicago, not wishing to see the sights along Main Street. We reached a city called New Buffalo for night We were then ie Michigan state, 220 miles from Detroit. We stopped about ten miles out of Port Huron Saturday night and on Sun- day morning were on the Ferry at seven o'clock, and reached home at ix., feeling fine. Our .car regis- tered 1514 miles from Winnipeg to Belgrave, but we had some heavy de- tours on acocunt of construction work and so on.

Brandon "GUIDE M 0 THOU GREAT JEHOVAH" • The great religious revival which swept over Wales.during the first half • of the Eighteenth Century was accom- panied by something of a musical re- vival. Howell Harris, a young lay- • man, who, perhaps, more than any • other man, was responsible for light- ing the revival fires, was quick to re- cognize the need for good hymns. The parish churches of Wales were still singing the metrical psalms which somehow did not seem to suit the fiery and pasisonate Welsh Temper ment. Harris ,resorted to an un- usual device. He called together the men who had gone out to preach and announced a competition in hymn writing. It is interesting to note that mustcal competitions are still held • in Wales. Among those who took part in the contest conducted by Har- ris was a young Anglican clergyman named Rev. William Williams. It a fervent evangelical appeal, de- ,' livered by Samuel Harris in the open- air, that led Williams to enter the. ministry. He was ordained in 1740, but was not happy in the work, and together with some other clergyman of the established church, he became one of Harrisr*,preachers. The prize for hymn -competition fell to 'Williams, He had a natural gift for poetic composition and for several years had written hymns.* In 1740, he published a group with the title, "Hall troit lakes, over 15o miles, there was very little crop of any kind except hay and sugar beets. The roads were grand, and were composed of fine gra- vel.

And, while we do so than2. fully, let us at the same time sympa- thize' with those who have suffere4 such overwhelming loss and lament- able bereavement, If there should be a general appeal on their behalf, those who have more than they actu- ally need should esteem it a privilege to help those in such dire distress. Our more familiar word for such a storm is hurricane, from the Span- ish huracan, which came into general use in the West Indies, for tropical cyclones so common there. The word is now generally used of any _ and Goderich alities to understand how great an in- fluence his hymns still have among Welsh people. Rev. H. Elnet Lew- is, one of the most distinguished Wel- shmen of the present day, writes of "What Paul Gerhart has been to Ger- many, what Isaac Watts has been to England, that, and even more, has William Williams been to Wales." The Christian Life GUIDE me, 0 Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou are mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand; Bread of Heaven, Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar, Lead me all my journey thrOugh; Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my strength and shield.

He looked upon the whole of Wales as his parish and while the actual ground he covered did not equal that , f john Wesley, his indomitable per- erverante and restless energy were •oily equalled by his Undoubted piety, For forty-three years Williams trav- ,elled more than two thousand miles a Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee. Amen, William Williams 1717-1781 BACK HOME AGAIN Belgrave, Oct, 4th, 1926 Editor of Advance-Times Dear Mr. Smith:7-110re we are back to dear old Belgrave. We left Winn- ipeg Monday, Sept. 27th, at 8.15 o'- clock for Einerson, where we got our papers filled out for entering Uncle Sern's dothain, and got to the jeffer- gale of extreme violence., Cyclone is a more modern and scientific term, frd,rn the Greek word for circle, and then specifically the cognate word for whirl, because a cyclone is a 'whirling storm. of wind, accompanied usually if not always by deluges of ram. Outside the trop - pies, cyclones are usually of small ar- ea, and though often very destructive, nearly always f011ow a narrow path, and for a *Comparatively short dis- tance. The cyclones of the tropics, and more rarely of areas just outside the tropics, often extend over a large area, as in the case of the Florida cy- clone, and are accompanied by such torrential rainfalls as can scarcely be imagined by those who have never been in one, exposed to its whole fury without any protection. They some- times, as in this case, continue over more than a day, and recur. The peculiarity of the cyclone is that the storm winds blow from all directions spirally towards the centre of the area, and often at the rate of too miles an hour or more. The cir- culatory motion of the winds in a cyclone south of the equator follow motion of the hands of the clock. North of the equator the motion is reversed. In the centre of the cyc- lone the winds blow upward with ter- rific speed, often twisting great trees off like straws, and carrying the tops away for long distances. In China and the Orient generally cyclones which are common and fre- quent are usually called "typhoons" which is just the Chinese for "great winds." In the tropics North of the equator, cyclones occur most frequent- ly in -the Slimmer, rarely in the spring and fall, never in mid -winter. They and earthquakes are the special bane of the tropical and subtropical regi- ons, otherwise in many ways so at- tractive to those who fear and hate cold. MR. MEIGHEN A LOSS TO PUBLIC LIFE The announced retirement of Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen from public life is one of those regrettable incidents that contribute to the ironies of pol- itical life. Tliere have been inaii37 who differed with Mr. Meighen on public questions but not even his worst enemy could deny to him the virtue of honesty, candor, adminis-. trative ability and intellectual power. Throughout its entire history Canada has enjoyed the services of few states- men so finely equipped for public life, or more genuinely patriotic., The friend S of Mr. Meighen need have no fear for his future fame when the his- tory of the troublous period of the past twelve years comes to be written. From 1914 onward he has been a very active figure in Canadian public life, and he retires with a record absolut- ely spotless. If the slightest jot or tittle of evidence to besmirch his own fame had been discoverable we may be sure that it would have been brought to light during the three bitt- er elections he has fought. Even his brief final ministry of less than three months was one of proven efficiency, despite the fact that during that peri- od its members had the divided task of simultaneously governing the coun- try and conducting a heated political battle. We have always admired Mr.1Vleigh en, not only for his integrity and in- tellectual powers, but because of the enemies he has made within his own party. That he should tiqumph over these only to meet with rejection by the country at large, is a reflection on the electorate rather than on himself Canada has had other political cap- tains who have failed as leaders, Mac- kenzie, Blake, Tupper, for instance, but to -day their names are illustrious, as Mr, Meighen's will ulitmately be- come. So far as his personal for- tunes are concerned, Mr. Meighen will benefit rather than suffer through re- tirement from the political scene. It is true that he has given the best years of his life to the service of his country with small experience of pub- lic gratitude; and that if he had nev- er entered politics he would now be' enjoying an enormous income from the profession of law. But he is still compe.ratively young and for a man of his unique abilities and ex- .? perience this world still holds out great private rewards, That the public should have failed to apreciate Mr. Meighen at his true value is no unfamiliar phenomenon. Was it not Shakespeare who in "Tro- ilus and Cressida" described popular ingratitude toward those who have sacrificed themselves in the public ser- vite as "One touch of nature that makes the whole world kiiit" -TIME TABLE- Owen Sound ______ 7.30 4.00!
