Bayne, of St. Marys and ono daughter, Mrs. Gordon Inglis, Kits- coty, Alta., and formerly of the Exe­ ter H. S. staff. The deceased was a, retired merchant of Newbury, and. was a staunch Liberal. He had been' in ill health for some time and re­ cently he and his wife went to Sar­ nia for a visit. He was taken ill the* proceeding Monday. of the Sunday A large . W. De- Chureh, Stratford, at the morning service and in the evening the large audi­ torium was practically filled to hear Rev. Dr. Cochrane, Secretary of the Home Missions, Toronto. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. W. R. Goulding, furnished splendid music for the occasion. A quartette was sung in the an­ them at the morning service by Mr. and Mrs. Lindenfield, Mrs. George Williams and Mr S. M. Sanders; and a men’s chorus was sung with Mr. Thos. Woodward taking the solo part. At the evening services a trio by Miss Reta Rowe, Walter Cut­ bush and Clarence Down. Mr. D&Mille took for his text John 12:21 “We Would See Jesus,” In times of stress and trial how pleas­ ant it would be to have such a man as Jesus as our friend and guide, our counsellor and our confidant. At other times, while engaged in shady practices or questionable oc­ cupation, it might be uncomfortable to have a man like Jesus around. We do not always know the people we think we know and often we hear the expression. “I* did not think he wa.s that kind of a man.” Some men may Be bettei' than we thought they were. Jesus is often wrongly painted. Some are taught to fear Him instead of looking upon Him as a loving friend, guardian and Saviour. The speaker visioned the babyhood and boyhood of Jesus’in the little village of Nazareth, where the community life centered about the village well on the caravan route of the travellers from Egypt, Arabia and India. He could vision the children being thrilled with-the story of David, the Shepherd lad, who been made king. He spoke of influence of the mother and lather upon the boy life, which afterwards reflected in his ministry. He closed with an appeal for closer fellowship. Dr. Cochrane, Secretary of Home Missions, paid his first visit to this community. Dr. Cochrane is a very forceful speaker. He is active in the pulpit and commands the atten­ tion of his hearers. His first-hand knowledge of frontier conditions in Canada and his manner of present­ ing them forces home the "great work that the Church is doing on the out­ skirts of the Dominion and issues a challenge to the young people of to­ day to measure" up to the opportun-; ities for service presented in so many ways. Rev. Jas. Anthony, of the Thames Road was called to the platform and conducted the opening prayer.

Pa­ triotic emotion is a great thing. M-oses wanted them to get inspira­ tion from the past and also an in­ spiration for th<= future. It is not wise to lpok too much to the past and forget the golden days of the future. It is a good thing to an anniversary and look back the past. We honor the men the women for the sacrifices made in transforming this wilderness and the heritage they have left us. But we do not agree with all their theology. Dr. Coch­ rane’s father did not believe in whistling on Sunday or going- beyond (Continued on page 4.) had the the av as withdrew favor of was “Our COL. WILSON Ul'RIBD IN SEAFORTH Lieut.-Col.
