The most bitter opponents of closure are the very Liberals who when in tower were ita warmest advocates. Curiousis'nt it? * • —Is ft not too bad that lide, Borden was not cisiralrous enough to let Sir Wilfred Laurier continue to l'Ula the House and the country. * * —In 101.1 the Toronto Globe fel voeaa- ed closure. Now it is. shrieltitig he - cause a modified amendment f the rules of debate is being put througb. * * * When id Power Laurier often stated that the rules of parliament were em- inently fair. Then what is he kicking about if one of those rules when in- voked by Mr. Borden robs him of a trump card F • * it —Laurier has been .taught a lessor). The fact has been brought home to bine that he canuot oppose his wilt and wishes on the majority in Parlia- ment and the country. The self ap- pointed dictator has been hurled. from his pedestal. * * —It is but a few short years since the late•adrainistration said to the Opposition,"Well you are there and we are here, what are you going to do about it?" Now the there is here and here is there. What are they going to do about it? * * * • —Premier Borden is receiving the thanks of a grateful people for putting an end to senseless and deliberate ob- struction. The King's government will be carried on and the blockers' game is brought to an abrupt close. Kindly omit flowers. * * * —To. hear some of •the disgruntled Liberals talk in Parliament, one would think that the only people in this country who have rights are those who belong to a minority. It might be suggested that those who belong to the majority have equal rights. * *0 After reading, marking -and inward- ly digesting the Pioneer for many months, we are unable to decide whether it is a Temperance Organ or a Rowell Piano. It gives the Whitney Administration no credit for law en- forcement, advanced legislation or anything else. * * * —What will the Senate do after the Naval Bill pasties the Commons? No doubt, the Senate would like to throw it out; for partizanship is as strong in the Senate as in the Com- mons, but their leaders may have their doubts as to the advisability of doing this. They were not very fortunate last year in the selection of the dame bills which they threw out. It did not do the Liberal party any good to have the Senate throw out the Taaiff Commission Bill, the Highways' Im- provement Measure and the subsidy to the T. & N. 0. Railway, and it will do the Senate as well as the Liberal Party infinite injury if the Navy Bill is thrown. * * * Rev. 3 A. McDonald was in Ottawa when the disgraceful row of March 15th took place in the Commons. He took part in the deraonstration, and then denied it in his paper. He was in the gallery when the row of April Oth took place, but he took no part in the demonstration, remembering, no doubt, the warning be had received from the Deputy -Sergeant -At -Arms. The peace advocate appears to be able to make mischief wherever he goes, but he is still called into council by his party leaders in time of stress. Eid gave them such valuable advice when he steered them into reciprocity, that his advice is valued. At any rate, they get it whether tbey watt it or not. * * * It has become a habit with Laurier to talk of Canadian autonomy ae if it were something which hadto be jest- ouely gum cled from the attacks cf those who would fain wrench it from the Canadian people. rnder the guise of "retaining our autonomy," Laurier is to.day blocking the first real effort to help the mother land it 'netters of naval defence. The real View of the case are that Laurier and his followerhave no wish to conae to the help of England, and autonomy is being used as a cloak to hide the real intent of these men who are willing that Canada should go on receiving the protection of England without do- ing anything in return. That is a fine healthly, manly policy. * * In striking contrast to Laurier's actions is the firm. patriotic and states: manlike conduct of Mr. Burdeo before and since becoming Pti Me Minister. Rather than adopt some naval policy dictated by mere political Pxpendieney, Ma Borden, upon assuming office, at once proceeded to consult the British Admiralty as to the best and most effective manner, in which Canada might assist the Britieh Navy; On his return Mr. Borden at mice based his temporary polity upon the facts and couditions vvisich were revealed to hine by the Lords of the Admiralty. The information received WaR given, not in a dittorial but entirely impartial *,td friendly spirit. This manly and dignified naetbod of deciding upon a nolley has appealed strongly to all loyal and patriotie Canadians, and is the secret of the univereal approval of tiorden'a present Naval Aid Bill. Read Label. We would ask each subscelber to 'kindly read the label On his paper and If in arrears for 1913, we Would appre- ciate an early call, WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1913, THE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN, By B,ev, Dr. Rutledge. Wm. Penn exhorted his Quakers to make it a part of their religion to eee that their country was well governed. Sometimes we think it would be well if Onristian people heeded that ex- hortation today more than they seem inclined to do. Whenever an evil exiete and threatens danger or ruin, curtailing our rights, or destroying soule, it is here, because as a people we are willing thae it should be here. For whenever the (Arad= people of Canada say all together that a thing must be, or must not be, there is not power enough in the vvhole country to alter the verdict. We have what we want, We need only have what we want. Whatever we have is here be- cause we accept it with so much tran- quility that our indifference is a virtu- al demand. Since euch things are so, is it not worth while now and then to eit down and consider the responsibilities and duties that belong to us as Christian Citizens? In a Christian land such as this, it might be said with truth that the duties of the Citizen ate Christian dutiee. As a matter of fact, all duties are Christian duties. Whatever a man ought to do at all, he owes it to God to do. Religion claims the whole life. It is a most mischievous delusion that part of our life belongs to God, and part of it to any other lord what- soever. When 1 was a sneall boy 1 read the thrilling Missionary adven- tures of Dr. Livingstone, and 1 want- ed to be a miesionary. About the same time I also read the equally tirr- ing adventures of Captain Kidd, the pirate, and then I wanted to be a pirate. So for some time I was torn between the conflicting desires to be a missionary and to be a pirate; when finally. I settled the matter to my own satisfaction at least, by deciding to be a naissionary on Sunday, and a pirate the other days 6f the week. It was a childish ignorance, to be sure; but since then I have come to know a great many people—grown up people too; yes, and Christian people so called, who settled somewhat similar pro- blems in a similar way. How many there are who speak and act as if they belonged to God on Sunday in a sense they do not belong to Him on Monday —aa if they owed Him an allegiance in the Church from which they are free in the workshop, in the store, and at the ballot box, Of course we know that some things are becoming, on Sunday which would be out of place on Monday—that some things would be right on Monday which would be wrong on Sunday. We do not forget that there• are duties pecaliar to the place ot prayer, and other duties peculiar to the place of labour. At the same time it is true, and it cannot be stated too strongly,,that he who is truly a Christian ori one day, or in one place, or in one relation, must be a Christian on all days, in all places, and in all relations. .1f any one doubts the soundness of that view, it would be easy to quote chapter and verse for that is surely what St. Paul meant when he said, "Whether you eat or drink or whatsover you do, do all to the glory of God, and 'whatso- ever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus," and everywhere the Scriptures teach the same doctrine. What then are some of the respon- sibilities and duties of Christian Citi- zens? Speaking generally, the Bibledoc- trine is ; acme duties as citizens are duties to God. And I am free to say that most of our social, civil, and political troubles arise out of our forgetfulness of that truth, We talk much about "the voice of the people," but it might be well to remember that it is the will of God that gives law its authority and its sanctions, and that the "voice of the people" creates no obligation except as it expresses the "voice of God. One great part therefore 0 the Churchesbusiness is to secure a "voice of the people" that faithfully echoes the "voice of God." Out of this principle grciws several weighty truths. For one thing, we must remember that the Christian must recognize his personal responsibility as a citizen. This doctrine is of the utmost impor- tance under a system of Government such as ours. %Then almost every man has the privilege of a vote, it is necessary that we should realize our responsibility as citizens of a country where the votes of the people deter- mine the most important questions that affect our commuulty, or the whole people. it may be a local ques- tion, such as pure water, or a proper system of drainage, or it may be a matter affecting t he country at large. In any case, each of us has a responsi- bility which cannot be escaped, In EO far as my vote affects the result, whether I voted understandingly qr ignorantly, J have a pereonal rosponsi. baby that .eannot by any device escape.' Then, it bhould also be borne in mind, that to discharge the duty of citiaenship there must be perfect in. freedom. It is ecarcely tweets- sary to eel, diet withoet freedoui there is no choice, and, therefore no iesponsibility. ft must th,erefore fol- low that a roan is not always tinder obligation as a Obristiati, to go Which... twee way his party directs. We are not attacking patty orginigations. Nothing is more certain than that *sales will exist—few things at more desirable than that they shoold be tisefql to the ootititry. A citizen who has right viewe and right bonvietions on public qnestions will generally vote with some party, but not because it is the party, considered as such, but be4 cause it best interprets what, before God, be believes to be the need and duty of the hour. As a lover of his tountry and his fellow men, a mart must sometimes go against his patty, otherwise he surrender e not simply ao mach of his independehce as a man, but his value as a citin Atid in such a case, he does not truly vote at all—he only registers the opinione of others*. Moreover, no Man entrusted with the privilege of a vote has a moral right to deeline that duty. Thie doetrite—that it is the citizen's duty, rah t� God andto men, to vote— should be preached till it beeoinissi a matter, not merely of party loyalty, but of good eonecience, to meet the reepoteibilitiettand peeform the ditties that belong to our right of citizenship. Absenting Oneeelf from the polls, re. fusing to vote, dote* not leave one in the petition of having nothing to do with an election. fled men always etood on their lot and &me thole duty, there are dark chapters ia our trivia A Good School, We glean the following from the repent of J. M. Field, 13.A., Ph. Di f P. S. re the Winghion Public School. "The teachers are all qu inflect and all but one have had tot:orderable experience. The general dieciplitie of your scbtiol is good tied the m wage - Merit owe lent, all the teachers are energetic and devoted to their dotiee. The inetarte era ants made in the build- ing in the last two years Maxie it above any other erhool in FAO fluron," The above report is 'my flatterlog to the P. S. Wiled. Ps inelpel and waif. AH terteher of almost twenty yt are' eIs perinea, we would say to the Board "held fat to much a Principal and imeti 0, staff." aod political history that would never have been written. And the true Christian. Citizen will not only vote, he will vote on his own judgment and conscience, as unto God. Such a man win, as we say, "vote as he prays." FIe will "mix his religion with his politics," just as he does with his buy- ing and selling. If it is asked, what is meant by "vote as be praye," it might be aoswered that it means at least this Your Christian Citizen pram "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." Then, if his prayer is worth anything, he will not go from his knees and vote against his judgment and against his conscience, No party exigencies can justify him in doing so insincere a thing, and, if he is a free inan, no party discipline can compel him to do it, It has been said that, in many constituencies, purchasable votes hold the balance of power, However that may be, may it not be said, if the Christian citizens of this country would boldly assert their rights of conscience in the exercise of their suffrage, there would be enough conscientious unpurchasable votes in every consti- tuency to suttee no party to govern the country that wae in any degree urtfriendly to virtue and the best interests of the people. This is but one side of a many sided subject. Christian Citiz,enship means more than voting right. But for the present this will suffice. There are signs everywhere that Christian people are waking up -that they begin to medi- tate more and more upon their re- sponeibilities and duties as Citizens. When they are fully awake, they will redeem our splendid courOry from many of the ills that imperil its life today. ADJOURNED INQUEST, The adjourned inquest in the case of the little child Glen A, Turvey, who was killed at the G. T. R. crossing on the 2nd line of Morris last week was held in the 0.0.F. Hall, Bluevale, on Friday evening, Dr. J. P. Kennedy, cerorter, presiding. After hearing the evidence of the Conductor, Engineer, Fireman and a number of other wit- nesses, the jury brought in the fol- lowing verdict— "We your jury convened to enquire into the cause of the death of Glen A. Turvey, after personal observation of the premises where the accident oc- cured. and from the evidence at hand, have arrived at the following verdict. That Glen A. Turvey met his death at lot No. 2Q in the Second concession of the Township of Morris, County of Huron and Province of Oatario by being struck with the engine of G. T. R. trahl No. 36 and that death was purely acuidental and that the crew on said train are exonerated from any blame as they did all in their power to avert the disaster, We find that Mr. Turvey's crossing gate VMS seven- teen inches from the ground to the bottom rail, and that there was a hole in the woven wire thirteen inches wide and we believe that the R. R. company were negligent in not having this gate in a better state of repair." The crown was represented by Mr. D, Holmes, K. C. of Wingham, the G. T. R. by Mr. D. F. McCraw of Toronto. The jury consisted of Thomas Stewart, foreraan, W. J. Henderson, Jas. Henderson, John Hall, Fred. Churchill, Henry Bosrnan, Henry Mathers, W. Garniss, Lewis Jewitt, Chas. Agar.

May let, in the Methodist °bur* has been acclaimed the world's greatest descriptive organist, One writer put it succinctly when he said,"What Pederewski is to the plum, Gatty Sellars is to the orgari,"and it will be a =sift' event of the highest import- ance to hear the Paderewski of the orgau". Even those who are not, mus- ically inclined are held epell bound, as they wellrld be at an intense drama, by his marvellously realistic* rendition of "A Storm In The Alps"—the lighten- ing, thunder, rain and wind soundito as in real life, or "The Russian Petrol" by Rubenstein, where the realistic sounds of tramping, struggling tempts are so life -like that cite drilla accused Mr. Sellare of carritrig a company of men with him to melte the sound of tramping behind the ()rot? Music lovers will be enehanted when they hear the world famed artist in dead - cal selections by the great masters, from Bach, and Wagner to Sir Edward Eiger and Getty Sellars himself who is one of England'e foremost cone - poems. To hear the Coronation Music with the beautiful cathedral chimes, which Mr. Sellars carried with him and adjitete to the organ, is to imagine oneself inside 'Westminster Abbey at the historie moment crowning of King Geo.

If it is for an iticlividual it should be paid far. It the merchant were asked to contribute his wares to oat) abundantly able to pay for them he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free ad- vertising if the beneficiary does not and it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space in its columns to rent. To give away for anything leas than liv- ing rates would be certainly as fatal as for a landlord to furnish houses free of rent. Personals Will Lamb left for his home in Ches. ley this week.
