There is a forgotten truth in Chris-
tianity, the'Holy Spirit, and a forgot-
ten festival, Whitsun, which is a
commemoration of the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit upon the first folow-
ers of Jesus. The story ,is found in
Acts 2. We all,, celebrate and enjoy
the festivals 'of Christmas and Easter
but
but are inclined to neglect Whitsun.
...In Great Britain, it is impossible to
;forget It becayide, Whit -Monday is for
practically everyone a public holiday.
This festival beltinge to no one church
ibtit to the clturcli as a whole. It has
been kept for centuries in all parte
of Christendom. It is well to be re-
minded of the person of the 'Holy.
Spirit who conies to take the place in
the hearts and lives of His folowere
which Jeaus, when on earth, took in
the lives 'of .His disciples. Thee Holy
,soift brings the grace or. Jesus in-
to their lives. The teaching of Jests
regarding the Spirit is found in parts
of 14th, lfith and 16th chapters
of St.. John's Gospel. The derivation

• Necessity of the .national objective
being attained was graphically shown
in an address by Eve Curie, brilliant
daughter of :the discevererof radium,
who has just returned from a five
months' trip of various battle areas.
Mlle, Curie told of .seeing German.
prisoners- on the Russian front badly
clothed and badly nourished.
"Your Canadian boys who are pris-
oners in Germany are fed and cloth-
ed according to the standards of the
German Army—you can • be very
thankful that the Canadian Red Cross
Society provides your boys in Ger-
man prison camps with extra food and
clothing. For you can be very sure
that Hitler looks after his soldiers
first and your soldiers last.

that some definite measure might be
taken by the churches to.help secure

.decided that each church would send
ten men to assist each evening, and
each church be responsible for one
week. Last week members of St.

on the job; this week's bees will lie
stimulated by help from First Pres-

an early plowing matcli held in Huron.,
The Advocate says: •
"It is a strange coincidence but ap-
parently historical fact that in the
spring of 1859' the best 10 ploughmen
from. Perth and a like number froni
Huron County met at Harrier Hay
(practically on the same site as the
forthcoming International Match) and
there conducted •a challenge ploughing
match that created a great stir in
Western Ontario. Special trains were
run from Stratford and other Points',
huge creWds assembled and excite-
ment ran high.
"The results of the match showed
almost a complete triumph for the
Huron County ploughmen. -T11
first, second, third, fourtb, fifth, sixth
and ninth, Perth won aeventh, eighth
and tenth places.
