The Wingham Advance, 1913-03-27, Page 141ST YEAR, NO. 30, EASTER HOPE. By Rev. D, Perrie. Of all the days in the Christian calender Easter is the day of hope, On this day the •Cheistian mind is brightened. There comes the thought of a new life of undying hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, How much this mean e to many II soul weary with life's burdens.

Mr. Chs,14 Johne, who ie now pri- vate secretary to a leading Grand Trunk Official in Montreal, spene day in town ]at week. Charlie is enjoying an excellent position at a handsOnue salary and is in line for still better things. He is a graduate of the Wingham Business College. ed by, affliction or clouded by sorrow, the Easter message is new life and hope. The Easter festival seems to take the ;Mace of the Jewish Pass- over, The Passover celebrated a people's escape from death. East- er rejoices not simply that death has been avoided, but that it has beet, 'faced and coaquered. At Easter sea- son the thoughts naturally revert to the plaee "where was a garden" and in the garden a tomb. The hope of Christendom rests on the fact that the 10 nb was empty, The fact has never been nor can be disproved. It was not poeeible that such an one as He could be holden by the ban ds of d'eatbs In death He triumphed over death and bequestahea tu men an undying hope. As aptly expressed by a writer of note, 'Whatever may have happened at the grave and in the appearances, one thing is certain: from this ,grave the indestructible faith in the con- quest of death and in an eternal life has taken its origin." One of the first acts of the disciple band after the Master's ascension was to fill a vacant place in their company. The supreme qualification of the new dis- ciple was, that he must have been a witness of the resurrection. How would it be possible to found a church or witness for Christ without a per- sonal knowledge of that. fact. How, preach to a people who through fear of death were all their life -time sub- ject to bondage if there is no deliverer to break the bonds. But it is through death that he who bad the power of death is destroyed and mankind are free, This is the Easter message. This is the treth which every Easter proclaims. On this truth the hope of humanity rests. In this faith the christian church' has fought and triumphed over evil through all the • ages. It was this hope which called forth the martyrs. This hope which gave men courage and endurance when broken -spirited and on the verge of despair. The hope which alone can cheer and •gladden and give inspiring outlook in these twentieth century days, It must therefore be seen that such a hope is a living hope. There are hopes which have no vitali- ty, no energy, no practical effect up- on life. But the Easter herald pro- claims that we have received a living hope. To a greater or less degree it lives in every soul. It is to be ex- perienced in its thrilling power and uplift at the preseot moment. But the secret of that inward life is union with the risen Christ. "Because I live ye shall live also." "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." "Christ in you the hope of glory." Christ's immortality is therefore the Christian's immortality. His life is also, the life of His people, Hie triumph over death is also their vic- tory, Tbis is the Easter message. This its the Easter hope. "A hope so great and so divine May trials well endure." BARRIE SELECTS CONCRETE. • The Committee delegated by the Council to visit Detroit with a view of 'recommending a permanent pave- ment for Bradford street returned to Barrie on Saturday and reported that they had inspected the various roads as follows :a:Vitrified Brick, Cresote Blocks, Sheet Alphalt, Tar -Macadam, Reinforced Concrete and Concrete. CONCRETE.—The Committee inspect- ed a great number of concrete roads in Wayne County, and the City of Detroit and the opinion was that the concrete road answered the purpose as well as any of the other roads, was of a pleasing appearance and after sever- al years of traffic showed no signs of wear or rather any wear there might have been was so evenly distributed over the surface as to show not the faintest sign of a rut or unevenness. The road is hard. or harder than the ordinary concrete sidewalk and of sufficient roughness to afford a good foot hold foe the horses hoofs, the motor traffic has apparently no in- jurione effect and from the opinions gathered the life of the road could be placed at least'at thirty years. The construction of this is from 5 to seven inchee of concrete mixed 1-2-4 and worked to the required shape of the road, great care must be taken in the selection of the materials paid that they are mixed in the right proportions, the spreading Inuit be done by men well up in the work and every precaution taken to insure an even and. thorough mix. Expansion Joints are construct ed every twenty-five feet in the - same • third barn throughout the district, manner as the re-inforced concrete arid vests unroofed, but space will not per - great care taken in their construction. mit of us mentioning all. The cost of this road varies very greatly according to the material and local conditions. Inquiries into the cost of the `various localities wheteIt has been constructed shows a ruts of frosts 87 cents by day labor to $1.43 by contract, Taking into corisideratiob the local conditions in Barrie the esti- mated eost of the concrete road is $125 as an almost outside figure. Presentation. On Tuesday evening of last week the irnenabers and adherents of the Baptist Church met and presented Mr. alnd Mrs. Alex. Kelly with an address and a cabinet of tsilver. Miss C. M. Kelly was presented with a cut glass bowl by the B. Y. P. U.

A union choir, under the leadership of Mr. (leo. Cline, fu' nished very suitable music. Equinoctial Oales. Even Nature has to play her little joke, for Friday, March 21-4, in- stead of being "Good Friday" will be looked upon for some time to come as "Bad Friday.' Science generally dis- proves the fact that there are Equi- noctial galee, but March 21st is the date of the Vernal Equinox, when the sun crosses the equator, and. on that date a gale of cyclonic fury swept over Ontario and the Western States. Early in the morning, rain began* to fall, accompanied by a fairly good wind, which continued to increase in velocity until about 2 o'clock, creating havoc in its wake, The' damage done Itt Wingham and surrounding dietrict amounted to thousands of dollars. The mounting shop of the Western Foundry, which "WAS erected last Fall was damaged to the amount of $8500, Walker & Clegg'is factory was com- pletely unroofed and their loss is ap- proximated at $10,000, Had it not been for their prompt action get- ting a roof on, their loss would have been still greater by ramie. Consider- able damage was done to the Wing - ham Creamery, the Evaporator and Bennett's Factory. Almost every Died In Edmonton. Mr. Jas.

For the benefit of such mothers in this vicinity we publish the following letter. S. Edmund Miller, New Haven, Conn., says: "My little daughter, ever since her birth, had been frail and. eickly, and was a constant source of ;worriment. Several months ago we commenced to give her Vinol. 1 ira- medlately noted an improvement in her health and appearance. 1 gave ,her three bottles of Vinol, and from the good it has done her 1 can truly say it will do all you claim." This child's recovery was due to the combined action of the medicinal elements extracted from cods' livers, —combined with the blood -making and strength -creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained its Vinol. Vinol will build up and strengthen delicate children, old people and the weak, run-down and debilitated. We return tie money itt every ease where It fails. J. W. MoKibbon, Druggist, Wingham.
