33RD YEAR, NO. 27.
THE CHRISTIAN AND POPULAR
AMUSEMENTS,
The Bev, T. S. Boyle preached again
to a large congregation Sunday night
last, His text was—"Love not the
world, neither the things of the
world,"
The early Christians had no diffl-
clary in choosing between the Church
and the "world." The latter was the
luxury and vice of the Roman empire,
To -day, worldliness was not confined
to persons or place. Twenty centuries
of Christianity have vastly improved.
society,
After dwelling briefly on the charac-
teristics of the Anglican Church, its
conservatism, its moderation and its
"sanity," Mr. Boyle stated his pur-
pose of cahnly and reverently discuss-
ing the individual christiatn's attitnde
towards amusement. Ho asked his
hearers to pat away all preconceived
ideas. Suppose a new game Were in-
vented; we should judge it by its
effect on body, mind and spirit ; for
religion was a thing of the body as
well as the soul. The salve standard
then should bo applied to the old. It
should bo recreation as well as mere
amusement. It was wrong to judge
anything merely by its reputation, or
from hearsay. There were no rules
in Scripture ; only principles. One
principle of choice was the TExDENCY
of the thing. Another was the avoid-
ance of any habit likely to get the
mastery over us. Pleasures, again,
must not occupy the chief place, but
a subordinate place. They must not
be too expensive for our means, and,
most itnportant of all, they must not
interfere with our spiritual growth.
On the other hand, we ought not to
ju(lge by what a thing might possibly
become. Evil could be made out of
anything. Nor should we be deceived
by mere names. Then there was al-
ways the question of expediency, as
St. Paul puts it; and manliness, that
is, we should endeavor not to indulge
in things which offend weaker breth-
ren. It was largely therefore a ques-
tion of , association. We should be
sure of our company. The line might
t
be drawn in doubtful things, between
public entertainments and those un-
der private auspices—"With the pure,
thou shalt be pure."
Concluding the discussion, the Rec-
tor declared the Church was not blind
to the evil, in evil amusements. But
he appealed for an unprejudiced and
healthy discrimination. The day of
sentimentalism was past. "Unto the
pare, all things were pure." He mere-
ly pleaded for that freedom of con-
science of which the Church of Eng-
land had ever stood the guardian ; the
liberty with which Christ had made
us free.
WINGHAM WINS FROM HARRISTON.
Harriston Hockey Club, accompa-
nied by about 100 supporters, came by
special train on Friday last, to play
the first of home and home games for
the championship of Northern League
and ownership of Silver trophy now
in possession of Wingham Club. Ow-
ing to the extremely mild weather,
the ice was very sticky, bnt as Harris -
ton had a special train Chartered, post-
ponement was impossible.
Play started fast and in 12 minutes
Fleming landed No. 1 for Wingham,
and soon after, Johnston, who was
playing a star game, landed No. 2 for
the hothle team, Harriston played
bard and McDowell succeeded in scor-
ing their first. Several times Wing -
ham goal was in danger, but as the
Harriston Review puts it, Moore was
so big he filled the goal, or kept his
eye on the puck. Soon Wingham
made it 8 to 1, and soon after Harris -
ton scored their second and last goal.
Before half time was reached, three
more were aided for Wingham, mak-
ing the score 6-2. Then the lights
went out and the bo -y& njoyed the
splashing on the sloppy ice, Haistie
working hard to soak Johnston.
When play started again, another
goal rewarded the home players, and
a little later they added two more,
making the score 9 to 2 in favor of
Wingham.
NoT1 s.—McGillivray played a fine
steady genre at point....Moore in goal
is sure to block the entrance to the
net.... We're sorry for the Harriston
Review...Galloway and Elliott played
a good side combination all through,
Fleming and McLean played
speedily and are accurate shots....
Scoring --Galloway, 2; Fleming, %
Elliott, 2; Johnston, 2; McLean, 1....
Wingbam boys decline to cast any
slur on Harriston team or their sup-
porters. Let the scribe of the Harriss
ton Review take a lesson, as the screed
he published after the previous game
was a disgrace to any paper....The
gate receipts wore over $100, and
\'Vinghatn boys are thankful for the
patronage of the public... , Harry Peel
of London refereed the game very
satisfactorily.

C. P. R. Extension.
The Bruce Herald says :—"IVe have
before us on our dusk the map of the
proposed location of the Walkerton-
Lucknow railway. The route is mark,
ed with a red line, and commencing
at Proton station in the township of
Artemesia it pusses through Durham,
Allan Park, Hanover, Maple Hill,
Walkerton and Teeswater, where it
branches one road going to Kincar-
dine and the other to Lucknow and
Wingham. There is every reason to
believe that all this railroad talk will
end up with more than a route on
paper ; indeed, there is every reason
to believe that this C. P. R. extension
is a reality of the near future."

High School Hoard.
Members of Winglraan High School
Board have looked through the High
School buildings in Mt. Forest. Har-
riston and Newmarket, The School
in the latter place seems to be nearly
what Wingham requires. It cost
about $12,000,

"There are more bachelors and few-
er children in Huron and Bruce coun-
ties and the north and west of Middle-
sex than in any other district in old
Ontario," is the rather startling state-
ment made by one of the Farmers'
Institute lecturers in his report to
Supt. Pittman. Being a Iecturer up-
on soil, sub -soil, cattle, grain and
other things of a material nature, he
does not delve further into the
peculiar situation presented by a
superabundance of bachelors, and a
marked dearth of children. He sim-
ply makes the plain, bold statement,
and lets it go at that,
Social Evening.
A successful Social was held in the
Baptist church on Thursday evening
last, under the auspices of the ladies
of the congregation. Miss K. M.
Fisher presided in a pleasant manner,
and announced the numbers of an
entertaining program. Mr. E. Smith
contributed's, solo ; Mrs. Homuth, the
organist of the church, and her sister,
Miss Sparling, gave a well -rendered
instrumental duet ; 11liss Brock gave a
reading in her usual excellent style ;
Miss Edith Hall gave a vocal selection,
that was well received; Mrs. Hiscox
and Mrs. Mann of Teeswater kindly
sang two duets, that were much ap-
preciated, and the pastor, Rev. E. R.
Fitch, gave an address. Then re-
freshments and social conversation
followed. The social evening was
much enjoyed by those present.

Church Work improving.
The many friends in Wingham of
Rev. Wrn. Lowe will be pleased to
hear that he is meeting with success
in his work in London. The work in
the parish was in a low state when
Mr. Lowe took charge but is showing
decided improvement. Tho Canadian
Churchman says of the anniversary
services held January 28th :--"The
special preacher on that day was the
Rev. W. T. ClaIf, rector of St. James'
Church, Stratford. There were large
congregations. The rector, the Rev.
Wan. Lowe, asked for au offertory of
$100 to apply on the church debt.
Considerably more was given. In
every department of Church life this
congregation is improving. Large
attendance at church and Sunday
school, and increased contributions
are the outward signs of life with-
in."
Dominion Statutes.
The work of revising and codifying
the Dominion statutes is about com-
pleted. With the exception of certain
portions of the Criminal Code, the
volumes are now in the elands of the
King's printer, so that it is but a ques-
tion of printing and proofreading
when the revised statutes of 1900 will
be available. The intention is to have
the new code bound its three volumes
of 1,000 to 1,100 pages each, which will
give a much mote convenient book
than the two volume fort. of the re-
vised statutes of 1880. In all proba-
bility the present revision will be
authorized for publication during the
conning session of parliament, al-
though it is a question for the Govern-
ment to decide whether this course
will be adopted or whether publication
will be postponed so as to have the
legislation of the session of 1006 in-
ciuded.
Merchants' Association.
A second meeting to consider the
organization of a branch of the Retail
Merchants' Association in Wingham,
was held on Thursday evening. Mr.
Brubaeker of Berlin was present and
grave an address explaining the objects
and aims of the Association. The °b -
feat is not (as many may imagine) to
raise or fix prices or interfere in any
way with legitimate competition.
The Association aims to benefit the
retailer by bringing the merchants of
a town together to consider interests
that are common to all, and where
grievances exist, to seeure legislation
to remove thein. The officers chosen
for the Wingham Association were :--
President--R. 11. Crowder ; lst Vice
President --W. J. (freer; 2nd Vice—
D. M. Gordon; (Secretary --A. Brewer;
Treasurer --0. N. Griffin ; Auditors. --

A Morris Wedding.
Miss Maud Robertson of town, at-
tended the wedding on the 21st, of
Miss Aggie, daughter of Mr. Allan
Spelt. of Morris, to Mr. David Den-
holm of Blyth, The bride and groom
were unattended. Miss Bowman of
Mortis played tate wedding march,
and Rev. Dr. McLean of Blyth spoke
the mystic words that made the
union an accomplished fact. A pecu-
liar circumstance was that Rev, Dr.
McLean officiated at the marriage of
the bride's parents many years ago.
Black Knights.
The annual meeting of the County
Chapter of Huron and Perth, Black
Knights of Ireland, was held in Wing -
ham on Tuesday. The veteran John
Scarlett presided and it was significant
of the esteem in which he is held by
the brethren that he was unanimously
re-elected Preceptor. The officers are :
Preceptor --Jahn Scarlett, Leaadbury
Deputy—Thomas Stewart, Binevalo
Chaplain—W, Wilkinson, Belgrave
Registrar. ---A. Leishunan, Marnoch
Troasuror—M, Mains, Londesboro
Pnrsuivant—R. McMnrray, Belgrave
Censors—D. Barr, SntnmerhilI; W.
Reid, Wingham
Lecturers—R. Vint and R. Hogg.
In Litigation.
The following from a Toronto daily,
may be of interest to Wingham
people, as one of the parties formerly
resided here :—"W. J, Chapman, of
Acton, is suing W. H. Storey, of the
same place. Ile asks the enforcement
of a contract made in 1893 whereby
the latter agreed to take over his
debts and business. He claims that
though the business has been taken,
the debts have been left." Another
case reported in the dailies is that of
Mowatt v. Chapman, wherein the de-
fendant, W. J. Chapman, of Acton, a
glove manufacturer, appealed from
order of Teetzel, J„ in Chambers,
dated lOth February,1906, allowing an
appeal by plaintiff from order of Mas-
ter in Chambers and directing sum-
mary judgment to be entered for
plaintiff for all his claim, with the ex-
ception of $200, with costs ; the action
to proceed as to the $200. The defen-
dant contended that the defence that
an agreement had been entered into
with the Storey Company on a trans-
fer of his business, that they would
assume the debt sued for, entitled de-
fendant to defend. Appeal dismissed
with costs.

Social Gathering.
On Friday evening, a largo number
of the members of Court Maitland,
Canadian Order of Foresters, No. 25,
spent a few hours in their annual
social gathering. After the business
of the Court for the evening had been
concluded, tlhe members went to the
spacious dining -room of the National
hotel, where they were regaled with
the oysters, served up by Mrs. Han-
son. After the bivalves had been
disposed of, De. Chisholm, M.P., for
East Huron, was chosen to preside,
and Chief Ranger, Jesse Button acted
as Vice-chairman. Among the toasts
proposed were the following :—The
C. 0. F. responded to by Organizer
W. G. Strong ; The Dominion of Ca-
nada, by A. Dulinage and 7)r. Chis-
holm, M. P. ; Court Maitland, No. 25,
coupled with the names of Dr.
Bethune, Dr. Agnew, Sec. S. A. Ma-
guire, M. Beckwith and Chief Ranger,
J, Bntton ; The Town of Wingham,
responded to by F. G. Sperling ; The
Ladies, enthusiastically replied to by
W. J. Greer. Dr. Bethune in the
course of his remarks, said that he
was one of the chatter members of
No. 25, and in looking around, he saw
no other person present, who was
among the first members of Court
Maitland, The evening is reported as
having passed most pleasantly.
Business Change.
As will be seen by notices in an-
other column, C. J. Maguire has dis-
posed of his Real Estate business to
Jas. if. Chisholm, son of East Huron's
popular 1i. P. During the three years
that Mr. Maguire has been in business
here, he has built up a successful busi-
ness, and we believe he has done so by
strict attention to business and fair
honest dealing. He purposes going
west about the middle of March, and
will engage in the same business
there. With larger opportunities, lie
will no doubt be even more snccessfut
there, than in Ontario. The Advance
regrets having so good and energetic
a young citizen leave town. The pur-
chaser of the 1>nsiaess referred to,
scarcely requires any introduction to
our readers. As a "Wingham boy,"
Mr. Chisholm has grown up here, and
his character is unimpeachable. For
several years, he conducted the Cor-
ner dyne; stole, and also :served as term
on the Town Council. Being so well
anis so favorably known, the business
Ile has purchased should, under his
tnanngeutent, continue to be sueccss-
ful arrd also increase. roe some time
past, i\ir. Chisholm has been travel-
ling and has been very successful.
The Advance hopes that he will find
his new lmsiness sphere, congenial
and profltitble.

Bridge Work Finished.
The new bridge near the grist -mill
has been finished, and is made of the
very best British Columbia timber.
The contractor, lir, Rintonl, did his
part well and the bridge is now in use.
Chairman D. 13eI1, of the Road and
Bridge committee of the Council, has
had men at work removing the old
bridge that has done service for so
many years. He has also had the ap-
proaches built, and st safeguard is
being erected along the edge of the
dam. The building of the new flume
and the bridge and other improve-
ments in connection with the Town
property in that vicinity, have cost
considerable money, but the expendi,
tore was a necessity, and the work ap-
pears to be of a permanent character,
The Committee has, pursuant to a mo-
tion of Conned, purchased two lots
containing a fine deposit of good gra.
vel. The lots cost $800, but will fur-
nish gravel for the town for some time
to come, and hence the investment
may be considered a good one, and in
the town's interest. Me. Bell will
have lots of gravel available for the
streets. 801110 day, yes, some day,
our front street will need some money
spent on it, for its condition in wet
weather is not creditable to the town.
Practical Sympathy.
The northern part of the empire of
Japan is now suffering from famine
caused by the failure of the rice crop.
The war took from the homes, the
fathers and sons, and now, it is said,
nearly a million people are suffering
for want of food and many of them
will die, unless assistance is given
them. Thousands are living on bark
and roots, and these cannot long sus-
tain life. Help is being sent from the
United States, and the Canadian Gov-
ernment has purchased $25,000 worth
of wheat and flour for the sufferers.
The flour has been purchased in Win-
nipeg and Portage la Prairie, but a
portion has been milled in British Co-
lumbia from Alberta wheat. It will
be shipped in white cotton sacks, each
holding 49 pounds. This sack will be
enclosed in a bag of comae jute. On
both bags will be the following in-
scription in Japanese characters :—
"Canadian wheat dour for the
special use of the north-eastern
famine suffering people, the gift
of the Canadian Government.
The flour will go forward in two ship-
ments, the first leaving British Co-
lumbia on March 5th. We are glad
to know Wingham will help a little
in this hour of need. Rev. Dr. Gundy
is sending some money, and several
have handed in amounts, among
which was a cheque for $15. A col-
lection was taken in the Methodist
Church to aid in the effort. One
newspaper in Seattle has headed a
subscription list with ten tons of
wheat.

induction Service.
Au interesting and impressive ser-
vice was held in St. Paul's church on
Tuesday evening, marking the Induc-
tion of Rev. T. Stannage Boyle, M. A„
B. D., into the Rectorship of Wing -
ham parish, Ven. Archdeacon Rich-
ardson of London had charge of the
service ; he was assisted by Rev. H. P.
Westgate of Atwood and Rev. W. H.
Hartley of Blyth. After devotional
exercises, the Mandate of induction
was read, and Chnrchwardens Thos.
Bell and Jas. H. Kerr handed to the
Rector, the keys of the church. Rev.
T. S. Boyle in accepting these pledges
promised solemnly to be a faithful
shepherd of the flock committed to
his care. The Archdeacon then hand-
ed the Rector the Bibh• and book of
Common Prayer, to be his guide in
the devotion of the people and disci-
pline of the Church. Archdeaeon
Richardson then delivered an appro-
priate and highly appreciated sermon
from Psalm 1'2'2, 1st verse, and con -
chided with a, few complimentary re-
marks regarding the high standing,
etc., of tihe newly inducted hector.
After the conclusion of the service,
the congregation became the guests
of the Chnrclhwiwdens, in tate school-
room, where tasty refreshments were
served, and an interesting programme
of n>nsic and addresses was given.
Mr. Boyle has already made ninny
sincere friends in the parish, and the
Advance expresses the hope that his
Rectorship may 1>e pleasant and suc-
cessful, as well as spiritually profit-
able to Iris congregation.
