And in addition to such charge S there are many self -sustain - ng congregations where conditions are very similar. There appear te be cases where men will work together when it is convenient, where they will even visit together and eat together when it is convenient; but, though they call themielves Christians, will not love their brother man (whether.she be in the next house or in some non-Christian land) enough to, give the great task of the Christian church in this generation the first place in their lives. The world has come to be a neighborhood, but it is not a brother- hood. And in many communities the church that bears the name of Jesus Christ is the greatest division force, in some places it is the .only one. A religious crisis takes place where - ever it is found that a religion does not accomplish the results which it was previously relied on to secure. A crisis is upon us now.

PREMIER DRURY ELECTED BY LARGE MAJORITY Hon. E. C. Drury, Prime Minister of Ontario, was on Monday elected member for Halton by a majority of well over two thousand. The size of, the margin given Mr. Drury in view of the comparatively light vote was conclusive evidence that the candidat- ure of Edward J. Stephenson, the "independent people's soldier candi- date," was not taken seriously by the electorate as a whole, though in two of the larger centres he polled a good vote.

Many and costly ' gifts bespeak the high esteem in which the young couple were held. —The funeral of Sergt. Arthur Riley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Riley, of Goderich, whose death- took place in hospital in Toronto on Thursday of last week, took place on Sunday afternoon from St. George's church, Goderich, and was well at- tended. The services were conducted by Rev. A. L G. Clarke and Capt. Archdeacon Jones -Bateman. A large number of the members of the G. W. V. A. were present, including a firing party, the funeral being a military one. The Goderich band also was in attendance and played the "Dead March in Saul" as the cortege wended its way from the church to Maitland cemetery, where the remains of the departed soldier were laid to rest. $ergt. Riley saw over three years' active service in France, being one of the original 18th. His death was due to pneumonia, which, no doubt, was caused by the condition of his health, as he was wounded and gassed in April, 1918, and had been undergoing hospital treatment since. —After an illness extending over about four months there passed away at her home, Andrew street, Exeter, on Thursday, February 5th, another of our most highly esteemed resi- dents, in. the -person of Hannah Harvey, wife of Mr. William Howey aged sixty-one years and nineteen days. Mrs. Howey had been a victim of gallstone and liver trouble. In December last she underwent an operation for the removal of the trouble but this only afforded tempor- ary relief, and the end came gradu- ally. The deceased was born in Us - borne township, being a daughter of the late AIL and Mrs. Richard Harvey and her whole life was spent in her native township and in Exeter. Mrs. Howey was a member',of the Main Al.(41.odist church and waa a he long Christian, posseissing a beau- tiful character, manifesting a friend- liness and sympathy for those m •-• ul! and need. Besides her hus- band she 4 survived by three sons and one daughter, Wesley S., of Exeter, Melville and Elmo, of Cereal, Alberta., and Beatrice, at home. A SERIOUS SITUATION The Editor of The Huron Expositor: —The great canvass' in connection with the Forward 'Movement in the Anglican', Baptist, Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian churches is now practically over. lIn sokne cases the results were splendid; in others shameful. The canvass itself was to secure funds to enable these churches to so establish themselves that they can undertake in some worthy manner the task which Jesus - Christ has given them, both in Can- ada and in lands beyond the seas. The canvass is over, but there re- $ mains a ve serious situation that demands im ediate attention. If these church s are to do the work for which they were established and for which alotie they exist, they must needs have a very different disposi- tion of their,4forces. I will illustrate. In one district in this county, a district ten miles from centre to circumference, there are 22 Protestant ministers and 30 churches, ministering to a population of much less than 10,000 people. Such a sit- uation is to be considered in the light of the fact that the Canadian Presbyterian church, to take a con- crete example, has assumed respons- ibility for the evangelization of a mil- lion and a half in Korea and to ac- complish her -task has now only six- teen men in that field and is asking for only eighteen more to equip the mission adequately. Again, in this district of which I speak, quite an average district in. Western Ontario, the church is not overtaking its work, and cannot under present circumstances. With six ex- ceptions the thirty churches are -ar- ranged in twos, threes and fours with the inevitable result that there are "inter -community groups" where there are considerable numbers of families untouched by the church and practic- ally heathen. The children in these homes are not taught the Bible or the catechisms, are not taught to pray, are not accustomed to' grace at meals or family worship, and do not go to church. In such cases ' the churches are not overtaking their work. Of these thirty churches at least five are receiving aid from outside sources "to keep the name of the denomination written in the commun- ity!' In this prosperous County of Huron, there are, I suppose, twenty such aid -receiving churches. A pas- toral charge of some fifty families is receiving $500 from the mission funds of the denomination. Yet each of the families concerned is within driving distance of another church of the same denomination and has, moreover, some other Protestant churches right at its door. This same $500 Would support three or four native evange- lists in Korea, who would tell the story of the dying love of our Savior to thousands who as it is have no op- portunity • at lall to hear. Another pastoral charge of some 75 familiies is receiving $350 from mission funds. There are a lot of similar cases. One must add to this that a proper a. a • ZURICH Telephone Meeting.—The annual meeting of the subscribers of the Hay Municipal System held on Tuesday, was fairly well attended. The fin- ancial statement of the system for 1919 was presented by Reeve J. La- porte, who acted as chairman, and an account given of the new 'construction work undertaken and completed dur- ing last year. Mr. Laporte also stat- ed that he expected that it would not be necessary to raise the service charges now in force as it was likely that the system would have a neat balance on hand at the end of 1920. The matter of more efficient service was also discussed and suggestions, whereby this could be greatly helped by the co-operation of the subscribers and operators. The system now has nearly 575 subscribers and it is ex- pected that the 600 mark will be reach- ed before the end of the present year.

Henry Edge, Seaforth. 2723-tf A Game of Hockey.—An exciting game .of hockey was played in the palace rink, Seaforth, Saturday night, between Foundry Imperials and Tuck- ersniith Stars, but Tuckersmith boys won out by a score of 9-3. The Foundry has a real fast bunch of players but found out that a one mart rush was not to be compared with the Tuckersmith coni. - They also had a good defence but could not hold out the Tuckersmith for- wards or defence. The game was fast throughout. The first period was played about six minutes when Wright scored the first two goals. For the end of the period our goal tender had -a very exciting time fer shots came in on him like bullets from every side, but he proved to be a real goal tender and held the score down to 3-2 for Tuckersmith. The last period was very fast, but Tuckersmith boys play- ed rings around them Ralp Weiland scored the next four goals, but Baker came down the side and notched the .Foundry's last goal.

Robert Sillery, of Exe- ter. Promptly at the appointed houj Miss Pearl Stewart, of West Mo ton, cousin of the bride,- played the opening strains of Mendelssohn'e ed - ding march and the groom entered the parlor and took his place under an arch of evergreens decorated with white flowers and a tette wedding bell. The bride then entered leaning on the arm of her father, preceded by her little cousin, Dorothy Roney, who made a .dainty flower girl in her -pretty blue silk dress. Rev; David' Ritchie perfotmed the ceremony. The bride'sdress was of white duchess satin, trimmed with georgette. She wore the customary veil and orange blossoms. During the signing of the register, Miss Irene Walker sang, "Until" very sweetly. After the cer- emony the guests to the number of about sixty sat down to a sumptuous wedding dinner served by young lady friends of the bride. The minister having/been called away, Miss Pearl Stewart proposed the health of the 'bride, to which the groom made a suitable response. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful presents, including a purse of gold and several cheques, among Which was one for $500 from her father. The groom's present was a beautiful set of mink furs, to the flower girl he gave a gold chain and pendant, and the pianist and soloist, pretty pins. At eight . o'clock a reception was held, when over a hundred of the friends of the young couple came to offer congratulations. The young folks and -some not so young spent the evening with music and dancing, till the wee small hours. Mr. and Mrs. Sillery left on Thursday for their home, the bride wearing a pretty suit of (lurk brown with hat to match. Mrs. Sillery has been a great favorite among all the young people and all wish her and her husband every hap- piness. They will be at home to their friends after March the 20th. HAY War Memorial.—On- the 15th of February, 1020, the council of the township of Hay adopted the follow- ing resolution respecting the war memorial project, which was approv- ed of by the ratepayers at the last municipal nomination 'meeting and which has been under discussion and consideration by the. council: That whereas at a largely attended meet- ing of the ratepayers of our town- ship held on the 29th day of Decem- ber, 1919, for the purpose of nominat- ing candidates for the Reeveship and for the office of councillors for the year 1920, matter of providing in our township some -fitting -memorial to commemorate the heroism and sacri- fice of our young men who enlisted from the township of Hay for service in the Great World War, and who fought and died in the defence of freedom and justice and in de- fence of our homes and our Em- pire, was discussed. Arid whereas at the same meeting it was -proposed that this council should expend .from $1,200 to $1,500 in providing such a memorial. And 'whereas, the ques- tion of such expenditure and the au- thorization was submitted to the vote of the ratepayers present at the said meeting who unanimously approved of and sanctioned. the -said expendi- ture for the purpose of such mem- orial. This council do proceed to carry out the said memorial project, and do set aside the sum of $1,000, as a per- petual memorial- fund, - such sum to be paid out of the general funds of the township, and to be invested and kept invested in some interest or div- idend yielding securities or security, to be approved of by the council and their successors in office, and that the interest arising from such investment or investments shall be applied from time to time as the Municipal Coun- cil shall direct, to provide scholar- ships for successful pupils in the vari- ous public and separate schools throughout the township, such scholar- ships to be known as the War mem- orial Scholarships and to be awarded to pupils according to merit and as KIPPEN Notes.—Owing to the severe storms on Sunday the serviees were not held in the Methodist church as it was con- sidered altogether too cold for Mrs. Ralph Stephenson, of the Parr Line, who .was to have been the preacher of the day to come so far.

"Saf- ety first" is the motto adopted by the schoolboards in -the case of this dread diseases—Much sympathy is felt in his village for the family of Mr. James. McDiarmid, and it was certain- ly a great shock to everyone, when they heard of his sudden death on Sunday morning at six o'clock. Mr. McDiarmid was well and favorably kaolin here. For maly years he was in thetownship council for Stanley, the latter half of the time serving as .reeve. A full account of his death will be given in next week's issue. —Last Friday evening the Reading Circle met at the Manse with a good attendance. Mr. Walter McCullie told the story of Dicken's Tale of Two Cities, reading portions, and giving explanatory notes as he passed along. Miss Margaret McLean read Longfel- low's poem, "Emma and Elginhardt." These .were followed by general dis- cussion, lively and instructive; and. taken part in. by a large number present. The meeting was a good one. The next one is to be held ,in the home of 'Mrs. James Chesney.— A very pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jiir- rott last Tuesday evening, when a party of twenty-five invited guests helped the host and hostess to cele- brate the twenty-eighth 'anniversary of their wedding day. After enjoying a sumptuous wedding supper and several hours of Pleasure, the guests departed in the wee sma' hours of the ,Intirnin', after vtiishing the happy couple many happy returns of the wedding day. w o days later Mr. and Mrs. Jarrott were pleasantly sur- prised by the arrival of two hand- some oak rockers from the guests of the previous evening , Their son, Jas.

If a -.continued cold winter with abund- ance of snow presages a following season of good crops we may very well look- forward to splendid yields of grain, root crops, hay and fruits, which should in the meantime help us to bear up under the discomforts of a severe winter. ---On account of the prevalence of "flu" in many quarters and as a safeguard, our schools have been closed and all public resorts. including our churches, .but last Sun- day being a very stormy day did not make the want of churches felt so much as otherwise would have been the case, and we are. pleased to say that,there are not very many cases of "flu" here, and those who have bad it with good medical and other care have quickly recovered.—Mr. A. Mur- dock is having dwelliug rooms fitted up in the centre part of his block immediately west of the town hall, land meri are now busily engaged rushing through the work. -- Mr. Cornelius Cook is having the interior of his dwelling in. the basement and first floor re -modelled in ordf3r to make a number of up-to-date and labor-saving conveniences, and will soon have everything Most complete. —We are pleased to report at date of writing that Mr. A. W. E. Hemp- hill, who has been so seriously -ill from a severe attack of pneumonia, is a little improved, and we trust will continue to improve as his condition during the past few days was alarm- ing to his physician and nurse, who were most untiring in their attention at the critical time and still continue their good services.—Mrs. J.

The boxes were sold *by Mr. Thornas Sherritt, a re- turned soldier, who did his part well, and the buying was quite spirited, and as is usually the case many of the -girl's were very anxious for the boxes to be bought by the gentleman they preferred to get their boxes and by some strange or marvellous instui- tion, it generally came out just as they wished.—On Thursday morning of last week the remains of the. late Mrs. Walter Shillinglaw were brought from , London for interment in the family plot ,at MeTaggirt's cemetery near Chiselhurst The deceased was well and favorably known in this dis- trict and died at the home of her daughter in London, where she was taken seriously ill while on a visit, and after three weeks' illness passed away.

Mr, Garrett, of the Anglican church, is at present confined to his room through illness, but at date of writing is a little bet- ter, but it will likely be several weeks before he can safely take up his ser- vices here and at the sister charge of Stara, owing to the severity of the weather and bad roads for getting around.—Our business men report trade very good considering the rather bad state of roads.—On Satur- day morning last the remains of the late Pte. William Wilkinson, a son of , Mr. and Mrs.- W.

It was a sad trip for them to London and still sadder when he passed right away to that bourne from which no traveller'. or soldier ever returns, and this death was saddened by the feet that in the late great war they lost a fine son in actioi, who had so bravely and insist- ently enlisted for service, so that the sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved in their sad affliction.—The angel of death has certainly visited many homes in this locality as only on Saturday of last week another of the early settlers of this community was called to his re- ward in the person of the late Mr. William O'Brien, of the 3rd conces- sion of the township of. Hay, in his 67th year. Mr. O'Brien was a bright, intelligent man, and well respected, and his ,death will be much felt by a large circle of relatives and friends. The deceased had been in failing health for several years, so that his death did not come as the shock it would he to one who Was so young like the late Pte. Wilkinson, but all the same death is a sad messenger to those near and dear to the departed, whether early or late in life.—The canvassers in the interests of the great Forward Movement have been busily engaged as the results well show, the sum of over forty-three hundred dollars bein'g collected from the members and adherents of Carmel church, and as will be seen in this column the good work has_ been ac- tively and successfully carried on by the collectors of the Methodist church. We believe the Anglican church is al- so making a very good showing for their numbers, although at the date of writing we have not their full figures.—The Zurich stage on its way to meet the trains on Monday met with a mishap. Owing to the very drifted state of the roads one of the horses got down in the deep snow and injured itself so much that the trip could not be continued. — The Jackson Clothing Company are filling orders at their branch here in a very satisfactory manner, and the number of operators is being added to from week to week so that it is now a very busy place to go to with the large number of fine machines skil- fully operated by their competent staff of girls. The capable pains to makeer,Mr. Gebdwin, spares no everything go to the satisfaction of the Company and staff of employees, and our village has reason to feel proud of this industry, which is bound in the natural state of things, to grow and expand as good wages can be made at nice clean honorable employ- ment.—Mr. and Mrs. Reinhardt, of Binscarth, Manitoba, are here visit- ing Mrs. J. Ellis, Mrs. Reinhardt's sister.—Mrs. T. Murdock was in Clinton last week attending the fun- eral of a friend. --We are pleased to see Mr. Harry Smith and sons, who had the "flu," able to be around a- gain.—Mr. William Biachanan, from thei West, and his mother, Mrs. Wm.

The words.hold as true now as when first written, three-quartels of a century ago. Nevertheless it it needful to -day to make the old suit last— tliough not at the expense of becoming,tattered. Between the costliness of clothing at the- One extreme, and shabbiness of it at the ether, there is a middle ground where econ- omy and good appearan.ce meet. You can find this "middle ground" at your dry cleaner's. He can time up your old clothes and. preserve your new. Every person realizes that business advantage and the social value of clothes well cleaned and neatly pressed, but there is more in these details than improvement of "looks" alone. Ask your tailor or your clothier. He will inform you that apparel frequently pressed and cleaned at intervals of two or three months, will wear from 25 to 50 per cent. longer than clothes that are not so considerably cared for. There is a sound reason for this. You was your linen. when it becomes soiled—it is a matter of self respect and personal hygiene of -course, but it is also true that if left 'unwashed your shirts would wear out much more quickly. Perspiration, oils, greese and fruit juices have a corrosive effect; dust and dirt have a grinding action—your outer clothing needs purging of these equally as much as does your linen. The cleansing gasoline baths of the dry cleaner, and the press- ing of the presser, with hot steam working through the fabric, have a sterilizing action—your apparel is made as immaculate outside as inside, it keeps its shape better, and it is saved from tell-tale shininess. The old suit will last longer, and your new suit will do double duty if you will more frequently patronize the modern cleaner and the modern presser. Get started 'on, the road to clothes economy by calling on. your- dry cleaner to -day.
