THE LATE MRS. CORNISH
The funeral cf the late Ml’s. John
Cornish, of the 7 th Con. of East Nis-
souri, near Tliamesford, was held
to the Exeter cemetery Wednesday
afternoon of last week. Mrs. Cornish
was a native of Usborne, her maiden
name -being Melinda Elizabth West
cott, daughter of the late Henry
Westcott. She was in her 72nd
year. On February 21St, 1894 at
the Thames Road Presbyterian
church the deceased was united in
marriage with her now bereaved
j husband by Rev. Colin Fletcher. For
twenty-five years she resided in Us-'
borne township; two years was spent
in the West and since that time the
family have lived in Elgin and Or

CAVEN ANNIVERSARY
The 76th anniversary of Caven
Presbyterian church was; observed
on Sunday last with splendid con
gregations present for both
morning alid evening services,
special preacher for the day was
Rev. C. S. Oke, of Knox church

with the morning service, the ser
vice in Main Street having (been with

ed by the choir undei1 the leadership

of London, in a very pleasing voice
sang solos both morning and even

morning service. A duett in one of
the anthems was sung by Mrs. Dore
and Mrs. W. Sillery; solo parts were
taken by A. Middlemiss, Gerald
Skinner, Miss K. Strang and Mrs.

vitt Memorial Chu-rcn was with
drawn in lienor of the occasion.
At the morning service Mr. Oke
took his text from Micah 6:6 “He
has showed thee, o man, what is
good; and what doth the Lord re
quire of thee, but to do justly, and
to love mercy, and to wal-k humbly
with thy God?” Micah had lived a
simple life outside of the centres of
population and he was able to see
how shallow and unstable were the
ceremonies that were performed1
in the name of religion. With no j
other guide to- go by than the words
of the text man -could build a suc
cessful life by following its admoni
tion. But there is a great deal of
injustice in the world to-day Too
often money is made by unfair.
means; men rise to the top- of the1
ladder by shoving others off. There '
are social injustices and industrial'
injustices. It is a great thing to
be a Christian but it means nothing
unless it spells justice to the man
and women with whom ycu come in
contact; unless love influences your
conduct towards others. ' Mercy is
the tipping of the scales in favor of
those in misfortune; the -extending
of a generous hand to those in need.
Humanity comes from the blending
of our natures with God’s nature
and our wills must be in harmony
with «His will. To walk with God • means progress and in the end an 1
abundant entrance to* the everlast
ing kingdom.*
GREAT RESPONSE TO
WESTERN APPEAL
There was a magnificent response
to the appeal for a car-load of veg
etables for Western relief which was
loaded at the Exeter station on Tues
day. In addition to filling the cai’
to the roof several tons of produce
had to he held over and are now in
the store house of Mr. H. T. Rowe.
The committee in charge are sending
for a second car and it is expected
that this car will be loaded in Exeter
Tuesday of next week. In addition
to the produce browgiht in cn Tues
day a number of persons stated that
they were unable to get their dona
tions ready for that day owing to
the wet weather. Contributions in
cash amounted to $53.50 including
a $3.00' donation received from Mrs.
Alice Hall, of Detroit. This money
was not needed for the first car-and
will be used in purchasing produce
for _the next car. Further contribu
tions will be received at either Mr.
H. T. Row’es office or the Times-Ad
vocate. The territory from which
produce was .brought to the Exeter
car was limited as«a second car was
loaded in Centralia, but it is hoped.
1 that residents of Stephen and Us-
borne who were unable to, con tri
■ bute this week will assist liberally
next week. An appeal will be made
' through the various churches on
Sunday next. T'he car on Tuesday
was ■srpainly filled with potatoes and

CHURCH LEADERS HOLD
SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE1
A very successful Conference or |
Christian Workers from Huron Pres
bytery was held last Friday, after
noon and evening, in the Wesley-
Willis Church, Chacon, under the
direction of the Committee on Chris
tian Education. Exactly one hun
dred and fifty-two delegates regis
tered for the afternoon session from
the various charges of the Presby
tery. These were grouped under
qualified leaders for the |discussion
of the particular type of work in
which each was more directly inter
ested. A particularly interesting
thing about this conference was the
large number of men
present. The leaders
afternoon were: Miss
.Toronto; Rev. J. F. Anderson, of
Wingham; Miss Jeunison, of Grand
Bend; Rev. C. W. Cosens, Clinton;
Mrs. R. W. Craw, Seaforth; Rev. K.
Beaton, Toronto; Lome Hedy, of St.
Marys.
In the eveing Miss Addison, of
Clinton, was in charge of a very fine
worship service and Dr. E. C. Wil-
ford, of China, who is supported by
the Young people’s Union of the
Presbytery, addressed a fine audience
and showed moving pictures dealing
with Pekin (Peiping,) Tibet and
Shanghai. The Shanghai pictures
were taken sin-ce the outbreak of the
war with Japan and gave the au
dience a very graphic picture of the
realistic nature of modern warfare
showing the bombing by Japanese
planes and the destruction result
ing and also street fighting scenes.
This conference- was felt by many
to have been ope of the most pro
fitable ever held in the Presbytery.
