Victor Collins, Pastor Wingbarn Baptist Church. One day, as I looked through my windows wide, On the passengers to and fro, There came to my vision, from side to side, A wonder I sought to know, For again and again, as the figures drew near, There Came to my startled view The hunchback, the crippled, all twisted and queer, Too dreadful a thing to be true. And then, as I thought this thing to explain, This wonder," eo grttesorneand strange, As I watched and examined again and again, The figures still seemed to change, Till I found, to my sudden and glad relief, That all who before medid pass, So hunched•up, so twisted, beyond all belief, Were seen through a crooked glass. I sat one day in a circle of friends, And listened their talk all througb, And wondered from whence there could yet be amends For much that was brought to view : So much that was base, ignoble and vile, Seemed all their attention to claim, I wondered if e'er they could see for a while, The worth of a true, honored name? And 'again as I sought this wonder to know, This puzzling thing to explain ; There seemed iu my soul a conviction to grow, , To challenge again and again; And I thought that the baseness and vileness and sin Which seemed to embitter the whole, Was the view that was given without and within ' • Through the crooked glass of the soul. Don't look through the crooked glue, good friends, Don't blurs and distort your. view ; For your vision of life, how -so -fare it extends, May be beautiful, good and true, If only your soul bas its windows clear, If only without and within The view you take, whether far or near, Be through glass that is plain and clean, 4 Church 'clews 1 PersonaIs The Presbyterian and Methodist congregation at Belniore voted nearly solid against Church Union.

Evangelistic services are being held in the Baptist Church this week, and to these the citizens of Wingbam are cordially invited. Rev. W. W. Wylie of Clinton is assisting the pastor, Rev. G. Victor Collins. • A report from Stratford states that there have been 23 changes` in that Presbytery in seven years. Ten have been twice vacant ; ten, once vacant, and one charge three tunes in the seven years, something unusual in the Presbyterian Church.

Of the 500 ballots distributed, 268 of those returned were favorable for union. Last Monday evening's meeting of Wingham Epworth League was in charge of the Missionary committee. Rev. Mr. Wren of Ethel gave a good address on the "Young People's Age," and the male quartette rendered a selection. Mr. Wren's address was much enjoyed.

These are to be masked and returned by a date to be announced next Sunday. La,s t Monday evening g a very t u- teresting missionary meeting was held in St. Paul's schoolroom by the A. Y. P. A.

The visit of Rev, Mr. Saer, of To- ronto, former pastor of the Congrega- tional Church here, which he made the latter part of last week, including Sunday, was an Occasion of great plea. sure to the many friends and former members of the Church. On Sunday he occupied the pulpit in the Baptist Church at both seri vices, preaching to a fine audience in the morning and to a crowded house ha the everting, - a b giving eauti. fully descriptive account of his visit to Jerusalem, "The Holy City ."

A Big Tree. The Mildmay Gazette reports that of Arthur Lewis of that vicinity recent- ly sold an elm tree to Sehaltn Bros. that nneasured 7 feet in diameter at the base, and the loge cut out of the tree measured 44Q0 feet.

Rowell gave a dinner in Toronto to the editors of the Liberal papers of Ontario. Among those present were —H. B. Elliott of Wingham, W. H. Kerr of Brussels, A. E. Bradwin of Parry Sound. It goes without say- ing that the Liberal quill -drivers en- joyed the dinner immensely, indeed far more than they did hearing the election returns of September 21st and December llth. The Opposition Lead- er proved himself a good entertainer. Care For The Orchard, The time will soon be at hand` for orchard pruning and it is none too early to plan for the proper spraying of your fruit trees for next season. A little business planning and careful attention to carrying out the same might easily mean a difference of many a dollar to you next fall, Get after the methods that will give you the largest percentage of prime -fruit. You make no profit from the culls, hence seek to reduce their number by the multiplication of first quality. 44, A. M. Robinson of Teeswater was in town on Friday.

To Bone A Fish, Otit it straight down the back through to the bone, then with the thumb or a doll knife if you wish, rub the flesh from off the bones, Do not clean the fish first, the entrails will come out with the bones". It is the tnost economical way to prepare fish, as there is less waste when eating it, and it removes any danger of getting bones in your throat. Badly Burned. Mrs. Burns, wife of the principal of Wingbam Business College, met with an accident on Thursday last that might have resulted very much worse than it really did. Mrs, Burns was emptying some coal ashes, when the wind blew her dress over the coals, causing it to take fire. The fire ran up her loose outer garment, and threatened to completely envelop her in flame. Her screams attracted the attention of the neighbors, and she ran to Mrs. Hutton's, where the flames were extinguished, Mrs. Hut- ton getting her hands burned in the work. Mrs. Berns was taken to the hospital, and though badly burned in some places, was able to go horde on Saturday, Nearly A 1 ire. Last .Sunday evening, there might have been a fire with fatal results in our town. Mr. David 13e11 was at church in the evening, and on enter- ing his home after the service, he noticed a smell of smoke. Oa investi- gation, he found it proceeded from his aged mother's bedroom. Further ex- amination revealed the fact that Mrs. Bell had taken a hot iron to bed with her, and it had set fire to the bed- clothes and burned through the fea- ther bed and partly through the mat- tress, as well as the quilts on the bed, making a big hole. Strange to say, Mrs. Bell was asleep and knew noth- ing of the danger to which she was exposed. A - little Ionger without discovery, and there would have been a fire, with perhaps fatal results. Egg Producing Ration. A good egg producing ration for hens in winter is wheat or buckwheat scattered in the litter on the floor of the poultry house or scratching -shed in the tnorning, eight to ten pounds to 100 hens. At noon feed steamed lawn clippings or clover hay three or four times per week ; and, if thought necessary, give, in addition, 5 pounds of oats to 100 hens. This should also be scattered in the litter. Mash com- posed of suet ground grains as are most abundant, with waste of kitchen and table. Mix these with hot water, and feed when cool two or three ounces to each hen. Shorts 2 parts, ground oats 1 part, and corn meal 1 part, ground and mixed with one part of meat meal, have been found e tfec titre. Thanks The Firemen. Mr. E. Harrison, secretary of Wing - ham Fire Co., has received the fol- lowing : — Dear Sir :—When in Wingham I did not have time to write or express myself as I would like. I gave your chief, Mr. VanNorman, two small "Works of Art" for the company, and I wish to express in writing my grati. tude for the valuable services render- ed by the Fire Company.

A despatch to the London Free Press gives the following story of a", turkey :—"A turkey near Winchester has beaten all records for fasting, The bird was a particularly fine one and had been selected as suitable for, the owner's Christmas dinner, but it ap- pears to have realized its impending fate and disappeared two days before. It was supposed that it had been stolen, but 52 days later, on moving some straw, the farmer was amazed to ting the turkey under the barn floor, alive and well, although not as plump as before the holidays. It had gone eight weeks without food or water. Will Be Here March 16th. The Board of Trade of Cannrose, Alberta, is touring Ontario in a special car, The party includes Geo. P. Smith, M. P.

He will be much missed in the Cho 1 society and in the Meth- odist Churchiclmireof-which"he was a member, but his removal is a serious lose to the Young Men's Bible class in the Methodist Sunday School, of which he was the faithful and capable teacher. His Winghatn friends hope that the doctor's prospects in Orange- ville will be folly realized. Both the docto r and Mrs. 'Price will be near the scenes and friends of their earlier days. Orders Set Aside. Two similar orders of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board were set aside by the Court of Appeal on March 6th, The orders were made at the request of the villages of Brussels and Blyth, respectively, and were to the effect that the Tp. of lbs clCillop, which maintained a municipal tele- phone system, should erect and Main - taro a switchboardf o its own and construct lines from Seaforth, half way to the two rnutnicipalitiee and there connect with their lines. The orders were set aside because they infringed the rlghte of the 13e11 Vele- phone Company. The McIil1op muni• eipal line had no awitehboard of its own, and used the Bell Company's de Seaforth switchboard under an agree- y rent ratified by the railway board. tea One condition was, that the McKlllo . w p line was not to be connected with abs th lines competing With the Bell Coni- ° he an In y', and the lines in Blyth and Brum- eels do so compete. b F "Local Items Wear etre,, * '4tu, ,,, and Rubbers, Read Willis & Co.'s advt. on page 8.
