Ealy Days Around Exeter,
In full possession of his mental
and, 'physical faculties, Charles Eac-
rett, retired harness merchant tax
this city, on Sunday entered the
nonagenarian class when he observ-
ed his ninetieth .birthday. The oc-
casion- was celebrated quietly at his
residence, 186 North Brock :Street,'.
where he received the congratula-
tions and felicitations ,of his rela-
tives and friends and was the recip-
ient of several birtnaay remem-
brances. `
On Saturday evening Mr. Eacrett
was the guest of honor at a birth
day dinner served at his. home. In
recognition •of the event a ler;'e
birthday cake adorned 'with 90 light-
ed ,candles was , .served.
Mr, Eacrett is one of iSarnia's
"grand old men" who continue to
^ enjoy life and take an active part'in
the affairs of the community, pro -
Vince and country, in Spite of ad-
vanced age. He enters another year
in normal health, sound in mind and
body and confidently anticipating
the future. He is, without dp.ubt,
one of the most active men foo his
years in the city and in this fact no
takes considerable pride, 'At prac-
tieally any time of the year,§ with
the exception of the inclement days
of winter, he is a familiar figure on
the streets. He is an extensive read-.
er and delights in a good book.
World events are brought to his at
tenti4n through. the newspapers and
he has an e.Xtensive knowledge of -
the happenings and doing% of teen
and nations. ?lir. Eaerett has lost
his hearing to a certain degree'
which deprives him of the full pleas-
ure of radio, although at times he
is • able to enjoy a program pa;rticu-
larly of music. He himself is an ar-
dent fiddler and often recalls neem-
Dries °tether days with tunes which
have long since ,been forgotten by
them for reading.
One of the outstanding events •of
Ilia later life was his bicycle trip:
tram {Sarnia to. Exeter which he ac•
401uplisiied when he was 60 yeara
age. He .has :always ;been a,li enthils-
iastic cyclist and on t1ts. particular.
coccaSion 'lit.' a �ecomiii.'lnied two tile-
piiews on a bicycle trip to Exeter,
his hornier home. The $9.utile ,,tripwan? acconrplishecl in a day4 but Air,
Eacrett regarded it as "a foolish.
thing to have done." He enj•ayed
riding and says that if there were
not so much 'congestion on the
streets and roads teday he would
still ride a bicycle.
11Ir, Eacrett was horn in Queen's
County, Ireland, 30 miles from Dilb-
lin, the capital. When. he was 13
years of ages his parents, seven
brothers and one sister emigrated
to Canada where they took up land
in Huron Coluity near the town of
Exeter. 'Hie parents 'were among,
the• early 'pioneers of the comniun=
sty and to them the young family
fell the task of !clearing the and and
establishing a home is the new
country. The usual pioneering dif-
•ficulties faced the family in the form
of. dense woods and isolation from
other 'communities. At the age. of
19 years Charles Eacrett left the
old home and went to' Philadelphia
to learn the • harness -making buss-
ness, While there he attended the
inaugural of Abraham Lincoln as
president cr 'the United States, in
1860, 'The ceremoniesVwe-re elabor-
ate and Mr. Eacrett recalled that,st
took -one- hour for the parade to pass
a ,given point. He also recounted
'the great majority. l the story of the assassination of Lin-
coln by 'Wilkes Booth, font. .years
Bicycle' Trip to Exeter later. The. murder was committed
Mr. Eacrett was keenly interested in a theatre where the president was
seated in a box with his sister -In-
law and his secretary. A man shot
him from the stage and escaped out
through the back door where, a
waiting horse carried him, to the
country. A chase was soon organ -
in sports. In his younger days he
was regarded as an excellent marks-
man, 'Which was in all iproba'bility
due to his good eyesight, Today he
is able to see • clearly without the
use of spectacles although he uses
another thor�ughbr
THOROUGHBREDS have both beauty and pace ... and certainly the 1931
Pontiac Six qualifies on these counts!
This fine car has the sleek grace of a blooded horse ... indeed it has a beauty and
luxury much greater than its low price implies.
Large, spacious Fisher Bodies are taste y upholstered in rich fabrics. They
are carefully insulated against cold and ise. Rubber insulation at 43 chassis
points smothers noise and vibration, and imi'nates many bothersome points of
lubrication.
As an instance of added value, note also.that the 1931 Pontiac has 5 wire wheels
as standard equipment on all regular models without extra cost. You will also
find Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers on all four wheels. '
Then too, you will discover the 1931 Pontiac Six easy and •
comfortable to drive. It's a real thoroughbred, easy to
manage,eager to obey. The famous 60 horsepower motor
• :has speed for acceleration and speed for steady going .. .
arid either kind comes easily, quietly and economically:
Put this car through° its paces yourself. We will gladly
furnish a car for you to drive. Consider its value .
'a General Motors value, easy to buy through GMAC,
General Motors' own,time payment plan, and with :com-
plete and continued satisfaction pledged by the General
Motors Owner Service Policy.

Mr: Eacrett was raised. a .Conserv—

Liberal,. He ardently supports the
Reforin party and has never missed
an opportunity to exercise his fran-
chise. He .is keenly interested in
municipal politics .and used to work
for the things. he thought were in
the hest interest of the community.
In

muddy streets and hoard walks and
the horse-drawn street ears, He al-

Sevengreat incidents of teaching
will be found in the, °Scripture mat-
erial• making up this lesson. It is
too much to attempt to cover with
thoroughness in the time at. the dis-
po'sa1 of teacher and class, but the
seven great incidents can be notes
and some of the leading lessons can
be touched upon. These are the.
Martha and Mary Contrasted
The Lord's, Prayer•,
Three parables: The Ini-p.ortunate
• Friend; The Fatherhood; The
Lighted Candle.
The Unpardonaible Sin.
Self -Reformation. -

ed. -
There 'is. a lesson in the Martha
and Mary incident so genertiily need-
ed by both men and women, that
people try to side-step it •by. coni-
mending Martha and condemning
Mary. Like Martha, , most of us
Christian people are too active; en-
grossed in Christian service we think
more of that than we dotof the Lord
Himself. Martha let her Activity
in the .Lord's 'behalf interfere with
her communion with Win.' She was
"timbered about mull'serving,"
Mary put fellowship with .tile Lord
in first' place, and "sat at Jesus'
feet, and heard His word." • When
Martha actually reproached the Lord
for not caring that her sister •had
"left me to• serve alone,:' 'and de-
manded that the Lord •bid her .help,
Martha was rebuked. • M'artha, Mar-
tha, thou are careful (anxious) and
troubled about many things: but
one, thing is needful; and Mary bath
chosen' that good part, wich shall
not be taken away 'from her," •
parallel passe,get In :Matthew 12:.22"
33 reeorda that •olrr Lord plainly. •
told Hfs !critics that they were coin,
witting the unpardonable sip. "The
blasphemy against: the. Holy .Ghost,.",
said He,. "shall not be forgiven unto
men." That blasphemjr, the unpar-
donalSle sin, is ascribing tce Satan the
wane; of tha Holy !Spirit.
Let it be said that these who have
carumitted the unpardonable sin are
not troubled over it, There Is no
indication in 'the Gospele that these
pharisees were at all concerned aver
the sin which the Lord, plainly told
Went they had committed. True
Christians are sometimes tortured to
spirit, suffering in ,agony -tor fear.
they have committed the unpardon-
able :silt; but the very fact that they.
are distressed by the question,' and
fearful lest they hay.e%comihitted this
sin, is sure evidence. that they have
.riot.
Tho experience''of Jonah., has been
more ridiculed, probably than any'
other incident in the Bible. Und•oubt
wily Satan is back of this ridicule;
He seeks to discredit the great sign
of Jonah because he does everything
in his, power to turn men away dram
Christ'. Let us never. forget -that-
the Lord put Itis seal on the his
{erica. authenticity of Jonah as the
great sign .of His own, -resurrection
In the parallel passage in Matthew
12: 38-40 we read the Lord's words
"Far 'es i Jonas (Jonah) was three
days and three nights In the whale's
belly;. so shall the Son of Man be
three- days and :three nights in the
heart of the earthy"
Tlie chapter .closes with •one of the
most terrible and unsparing denun-
ciations of men that ever carne from
•the lips of a man --aid. that Ulan
was 'the Son of God,,Be exposed
the hypocrisy, the "ravening; and
wickedness," the deadly false ..relig-
ion of -the Pharisees, scribes, and
lawyers -of that day, "having a form
of ;•dliness, but •denying the power
the of" (2 Tiini. 3.5), It is a sol-
erne warning • to all professing
Christians to live, in the power ,of
Christ, the righteousness that they
Profess. when they take His .name.
Tho late H. Clay • Trumbull, ioi
many years editor Of the Sunday
•School Times, once wrote an. editor-
ial entitled "Mary a Better House-
keeper than Maratha."' It was his
belief that Mary was no- less atten-
tive to her duties in the lionie tlfan
Martha, but that she had quietly,
attended to then{ .before their De-
vine Guest name, 80 that she could.
give Him her. whole attention. True
spirituality and practical proficiency
go together. Most of us would do
mere, and do it better, 11! we were
%willing to do less in mider to have
more ,time for communion- with the
Lord. • ,
.In the parable of the importunate
friend Christ teaches that persistent
prayers will prevail. In the parable
of fatherhood He shows that, if a
human father knows how to give
good .gifts unto his children, the
heavenly Father "much more" will
give—even the great gift of the Holy
Spirit, whom all now have the mom-
e`nt they receive Christ as Saviour.
'. The third parable, that Of the light-
ed
ighted candle, ,draws that Christions are
' placed in the world as Tights ina
dark place. Candles when lighted
are not to be covered up, but so ex --
posed that they may shed forth their
light. ' Cli:nistianity is not to be tan-
Ceeled, but expressed. Every Chris -
11911 should be. cofitinually broad-
casting the Gospel.
Ah unthinkable incident occurs.

who had been made dumb by this
