The Earthquake
The people of Huron last week un-
derwent something, which for them,
was a new and novel experience.
They experienced an earthquake. Of
course it was not much of an earth-
quake, as quakes go, hence one lives
to tell the tale.
In fact the majority of residents
in this district know so little about
earthquakes that they didn't recog-
nize one when they saw it, or rather
saw one in action.
To those who were awake at the
time, the quake resembled very much
in sound, the approach of one of
those trucks which so much re-
semble a freight train off the tracks,
when they rumble along the high-
ways.
The windows rattled a little and
things jumped about a bit, but noth-
ing cracked, nothing broke, and noth-
ing fell, and in a moment things were
quiet again.
That was pretty much the general
experience of the people who were
awake or up at the time. Those who
were asleep, just slept on. •Or if they
dreamed dreams, they were like ord-'
inary dreams, and in the morning
they did .not know what it, was all
about.
No, it was not much of an earth-
quake. At least, not here. Still, we
are satisfied. Abundantly satisfied
with our sole experience of earth-
quakes.
We never want to hear another
one, nor feel another one, because
we know more about them now. We
came through the last one with . an
entire Iack of fear, or even alarm,
born of ignorance. But we are wise
now. It would not be that way an-
other time and we do not want an-
other time.
At least that is the way we feel
about it, and we believe that is just
about the way the majority of peo-
ple in this district feel about it too.

Canada' sNew GovernorGeneral
John Buchan, first Baron Tweeds-
muir, was sworn in as Canada's
fifty-third Governor General at the
historic old city of Quebec, upon his
arrival from England on Saturday
(‘,'ening.
Lord 'Tweedsmuir was met at Que-
bec upon his arrival, by Prime Minis-
ter W. L. Mackenzie `.King, Chief
Justice Sir Lyman Duff, Secretary of
State Fernand Rinfret, and the mem-
bers of the Dominion Cabinet, and
shortly after landing was driven to
the old Quebec parliament buildings'
and there in the legislative council
chamber he was sworn in as Gover-
nor General.
The affair is spoken of as a very
brilliant one, and following the oaths
of office, addressed of welcome were
tendered the new Governor General
by Premier King, who spoke in Eng-
lish; by Premier L. A. Taschereau,
who spoke in French, and by Mayor
Laviegeur, who also spoke in French,
Lord Tweedsmuir making his replies
in both English and French.
The new Governor General is a
scholar, a well known author and dis-
tinguished parliamentarian. In ap-
pearance, he is described as being
somewhat above medium height,
spare in figure, and possessing the
erect carriage of the man of action.

Their Excellencies upon the public
was a singularly pleasing one and
augurs well for the success of the
commission which they will hold in
Canada for the next five years.
There was one incident at Quebec,
perhaps a small one, but through it
the new Governor General has walk-
ed into the good graces of many peo-
ple' in this old Province of Ontario.
On Sunday Lord Tweedsmuir spent
the afternoon motoring along the
shore below Quebec to St. Joachim
to view, the wild geese and ducks that
gather there each fall.
Being a British gentleman, it goes
without saying that Lord Tweeds-`
muir is a sportsman too, and the
sight of that wild game must have
filled him with enthusiasm. But he
did not shoot any that day because—
it was Sunday.

Running An Election
Among the many things that the
people of Britain know how to do,
and how t� do well, is that of run-
ning an election.
Great Bi itain is to have a general
election on November 14th, yet it is
only four weeks since the British
House was in session. Following dis-
solution, came the immediate an-
nouncement of. the election date.
And that date was November 14th,
which means that the British public
will' have to suffer the throes of an
election campaign for only a period
of a little less than• four weeks.
But four weeks is plenty long en-
ough for the party leaders to thor-
oughly make known their political
policies and plenty long enough for
the British public to make up its
mind as to how it will vote.
Compared with the almost six
months' campaign that Canada has
just come through, the British meth-,
od looks like good business.
Long campaigns, such as ours,
serve only to bedevil politics and bus-
iness alike. No party gains by thele
and the country at large suffers, and
suffers severely.
Too many Canadians are prone to
gook upon Britain as being twenty
years behind our times, when the
actual truth is that Britain in most
things, including government, is just
about twenty years ahead of us.
It Is a Good Plan
Addressing the Commercial Trav-
ellers' Association in , London the
other day, Mr. David Curle, district
Gideon officer, said that well known
society was about to place Bibles on
the desks of every member of Parlia-
ment at Ottawa, and on the desks of
every member of the Provincial Leg-
islatures.
Now that is a good plan, one that
ought to be encouraged and one that
might have a far reaching effect on'
the future speeches of membersx, as
well as upon the nerves of their ebnr.
stituents back home.
-The day may come when a mem-
ber feeling the urge to speak over-
whelming him, whether he has any-
thing to speak about or not—and few
of them have—instead of taking an
old speech out of Hansard, or a com-
bination of speeches from the same
source, and calling them his own, he
will be enabled to quietly get to his
feet and read a chapter out of the
Bible instead.
• Of course, that would be copied
material, but it would be honest ma-
terial, and material that has stood
countless years of repetition, and no
member would ever be accused of
giving it as his own.
Such a procedure too, would tend
to elevate the standard of debate as
well as the education of the members
themselves,, and it would save a lot
of time and a lot of money.
Out of the Bible a member could
read a speech befitting any time or
occasion. He could be simple and
lucid, eloquent or dramatic, or any-
thing in between or beyond. Because
in no book, not even Hansard, is
there the same wisdom, the same
eloquence,. the same wealth of refer-
ence and all told with the same pur-
ity of diction, that one finds in the
Bible.
We hope the Gideons put it over.

:DQ YOU REM.EMBER •
Do you rem'em'ber when J'pseph
Kidd was thee leading citizen of what
is now Dstrbl'int, or the village that
was C'b
arronriook?
John 'MacTavish, writing in the
London 'Free Frees, describes 'him as
"full 225 pounds of unique perste nal-
ity.”
"So 'outstanding, indeed, was the,"
continues Mr. MacTavish, "that when
came .to eOarronbroo'k (now Dub-
lin) County of Perth, at the age of
23, things took on new life, pension's
sat up to take notice.
The infant 'village began, to grow
etronger, healthier; became more
.progressiw'e, 'prosperous pretentious.
The newco'me'r, who appeared to
be important in the eyes of himself,
eseoon became an important person

NNatwi'thstanding this, we do not
hesitate to say that almost any per-
son, if in (partnership with him,
would have been scared nearly to
death, all the time, dodging between
chills and sweats.
He was ,out to do things, in a 'big
way, right from the outset, and there
were doubting Thomases in the vil-
lage and community.
Joseph Kidd was born in Dublin,
Ireland, in 18127.
(When 19 years old he came to Cane
ada with his father's fa nily. with
whom he lived in Charleston,, near
Bsoeknrilie, floc a year; and after-
wards hie hone was with them in
Mono 'Mille for three years.
He founded a mercantile business
in Athens, 'Simeo'e County, when 22
years of age, and after 10 successful
years lin that enterprise carne to Car-
romlbroode.
'Shortly afterwards he was engag-
ed in 'business there on quite an ex-
tensive scale.
His first venture in ,the new yellaige
was the opening of a general store
in which he proudly asserted that
everything customers would want,
was in stock from a needle to, an
anchor. .
About this time an Irishman walk-
rrl into the store awed observed: •
"Well, Me. Kidd, pi suppose ye've
got iverything min are loikely to
wint, on hand."
"I have that," says Kidd.

Lord, in the fullness of my night,
I, would for Thee be strong;
While runneth o'er each dear delight,
To. Thee should soar my song.I would not give the world my hea•

And then profess Thy love;

On the worlds errand's go;
And labor up the heavenly hill

S. S. LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 10
Lesson Topic—Ezekiel Teaches Per-
sonal Responsibility. •
Lesson Passage—Ezekiel 33:7-16.
Golden Text—Romans 14:12.
In the first six verses of this ch'ap-
'ter the office of a watchman is' de-
fined. It is 'supposed to be a public
danger that •gives occasion for the
appointing of a watvhman=when God
brings the sword upon the land (verse
2). At such a time, when a country
is in fear of a foreign invasion, they
were to set "a man. of their coast,"
some likely person, li•vinrg upon the
border of the enemy's country, and
make him their Watchman.. It is a
public trust and he is ascountable to
the public for the discharge 'of it.
His 'business is to discover the ap-
proach of the enemy and at once to
give notice thereof. If he do his
part he has not only delivered his
own soul but earned his wages. In
to -day's lesson we see Ezekiel, the
'pr'op'het, appointed by God a watch-
man to the 'house of Israel. The word
that God gives him he must speak to
them. He was bo give warning by
reason of sin. The righteous God
has said it, and will never unsay it,
nor can all the world gainsay it, that"the wages of sin is dearth" (Romans
6:23)..• •
The responsibility of the watc'hanan
is seen in verses 7-9. If souls perish,
through his neglect of his duty, he
•hrings guilt upon himself. The great
desire God has for the salvation of
souls is seen in this responsibility—
"his blood will I require at thy
hand•" The blind leader shall fall
with the blind follower into the ditch
and if the watchman do his duty, he
may take comfort though he see no
sign of fruit in the lives of those ov-
er w•hiem he watches."
Ezekiel was told by God to answer
the complaint 'of the house of Israel.
"If our transgressions and our sin's
be upon us, and we pine away in
them, how should we then live?" He
wasete tell them •of God's readiness
do show mercy. This mercy is seen
in very reality by the presence of
His prophet amongst them when they
are, as they admit, pining away in
their iniquity. Ezekiel was to say to
them that God would rather sinners
should turn and ]live, than' go on and
die. They had not•only God's word
for it that he had no pleasure in the
death of the wicked, but they had his
oath and since "he could swear by
neo greater he swears by himself"(Hebrews 6:13) . "As I live." Yea,
says God, as sure, as I live, true pen-
itents shall live also; fior their life
is hid with Oh 111,A in God (Col. 3:3).
It is certain Go'd' is sincere, for He
repeats' the urge, "Turn ye, turn ye."
'Why will ye die, 0 Nouse of Is-
rael ?" God would have heard them,
and they would .not he h'e'ard. They
died 'because they would •die—unr'e-
pentant.
The righteousmiese. of the righteous
nd the wickedn,eees 'of the wicked i
to be next considered. God tells the
prophet to make it plain that therighteousness of the righteous shall
tot deliver him in the day of his
tranagressd'on. This ruined the
ari:sees; they trusted to themselvestharb they were righteous and that
their long prayers and fasting twice
fin the w'e'ek. would atone for th'e'ir
evourimg wjdw
iose' houses. If right-
eous men turn to wrmegdoing, and
nti'nue therein, all their former
cod d'eed's will avail them nothing;
they shall b'e as though they had nenr-
hieln
er been done. On the contrary, if
those who have lived a wicked life
repent and reform, forsake their
wicked ways and become religious,
their sine shall be pardoned, and they
shall be justified and saved, if they
perservere in their reformation- "For
there is no re's'pect of persons with
God" (Romans 2:11).
God through the prophet answers
their complaint that "the way of the
Lard is not equal." He rep'ea'ts again
and again that He will render to
every man according to his deeds.
"W)he'n the rightebue turneth from his
righteousness, and c'om+mitteth in•
iquity, he shall even die thereby. But
if the wicked turn from h.is wicked-
ness, and do that which is lawful and
right, he shall live thereby."
The message of the prophet stands
good for all time. John the Baptist
called the people of his day to re-
pentance. "When he 'saw many of
the Pharisee's and Sadducees come to
his baptism, he said unto them. 0
generation of viper.,,,, who hath warn-
ed you to •flee from the wrath to
come? Bring forth bh'erefore fruits
meet for repentance."
Jesus began His ministry by say-
ing; "Repent: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand."
Peter in his first great sermon on
the day of Pentecost called on the
assembled multitude to "repent and
save yourselves from this untoward
generation."
Paul preached and wrote ,diligent-
ly the way 'of salvation. "Dearly be-
loved, let us cleanse ourselves from
old filthiness of the flesh and spia•it,
perfecting holiness in the fear of
God." -
Ministers of God' since the Reform-
ation have been diligent in business
calling sinners to repentance, and
still it is the old, old story that wins
men from eyil ways to righteous liv-
ing.
WORLD MISSIONS
Christian Politics
It seems very much easier for the
most of us to see God in past his-
tory than to see Him in the' move:
mente and sitruggles of to -day. But
ought we net to think of the spirit of
the eternal Christ as battling its way
through all ,the unrest and conflict of
our time just as truly as it did in the
first Christian century or any other
century of the world's history? We
t'h'ink of Jehovah as guiding and
controlling the destinies of Israel,
but we find it hard to believe that' our
God is gui'dling and controlling the
destinies of this fair Canada of ours.
But the one is just as, true as the
other ever was. And to deny it is
to be a Ohiistian while we are read-
ing our Old Testament and an ath-
eist while we are reading .the morn-
ing paper. .Isaiah was sure that God
'was 'in'tereste'd in the politics of Is-
rael in the eighth century before
Chalet, but we can be sure that He
is just as interesbed in the politics
of Canada in the twentieth century
after Christ. As much depends up-
on this as upon that and He• has as
many interests and great causes' at
stake now as He had then. •And to
fall to realize that in the fullest way
•i's to rola our life, both individual and
national, of a strength and virility
they ought to have.
The angels keep their ancient places;
Turin but a stone and 'start a wing,
Tis ye, 'tie your estranged faces.

to Clinton from London, where he
was 'organist ,of St. James', Wleestmlin-
