started, late Wednesday afternoon
of last week when the proprietor
was in London. It is estimated that
the damage will amount to more
than $3,000,00.
Cecil Kister and Carl Schwalm
were sitting in a car outside the
store when they noticed smoke'com
ing. from 'the building. They
quickly spread the alarm and the
efficient work of the local fire hri-
.gade succeeded in confining 'the
fire to the building* and bringing it
under control. Another fifteen
minutes’ start and the entire block
would have been1 destroyed accord
ing to the fire chief.
Adjoining -the Dayman store is
T. C. Joynt’s general store which
for a time was seriously threaten
ed. Fortunately the fire was con
fined to the Dayman store and liv
ing quarters and the adjoining store
and living quarters suffered only
from smoke. The Dayman store was
totally wrecked. All glass was
broken and hundreds of dollars’
worth of merchandise destroyed.'
The living quarters at the rear were
ruined. The books and cash regis
ter were saved.
" ”1 have often wondered why
Exeter has not done something to
assist the unfortunate victims of
Exeter, Eng.,” said one of the don
ors to the fund now being raised to
be sent to Exeter. A great deal of
money has been raised and will
continue to be raised to help the
bombed-victims of England. This
is an appeal to the citizens of Exeter and those of Devonshire origin
in this community to make some
little contribution to be sent direct
to theijeity that we are proud to
be called after. We would like to
see a liberal response this week- The
amount announced last week was
$65.0'0, The following contribu
tions have since been received: Dr.
Roulston, $1,00; J. C. Vidt, $2.00;

REV. PAGE PREACHES
FAREWELL MESSAGE ’
Is Honored Before Leaving
Sunday marked the closing of
successful pastorate of seven years
for Rev. Arthur Page, minister of
the James Street United church,
who on Tuesday, with Mrs, Page
and John, left for Owen Sound
where he becomes the pastor of the
Westside United church, A fare
well Service was held in the morn
ing, the evening service being with
drawn. A congregation of about
five hundred persons was present.
The rite of baptism was performed
and seven children were baptised.
The Honor Roll of members of the
congregation on active service was
unveiled by Mr. Page and 38 names
were read. Following the offer
ing an expression of appreciation
of the seven years of faithful and
efficient service of Mr. and Mrs.
Page and their son, John, was voic
ed by J. M. Southcott with the
hope that God’s richest blessings
would crown their efforts in the
years that .lie ahead. On behalf
of the Official Board and the con
gregation, , Dr, Cowen presented Mr.
■Page with an envelope containing
a cheque for' $100.00.
Mr. Page, in accepting the gift,
said that his friends praised him
and his critics blamed him more
than he deserved. Every novel has
its good and bad characters. He,
had made some of his warmest
friends during
While the day
of a seven-year
it also marked
five years in the ministry,
gan preaching as a local preacher
at the age of 17. At the beginning :
of the service, Mr. Page sang the
Lord’s Prayer.
From the text “God so loved the
world that he gave His only begot
ten Son that Whosoever believeth
in Him shall not perish but shall
have everlasting life,” Mr. Page de
livered a short sermon, Reading
the headlines of the newspapers of
war, carnage and destruction there
comes to our minds, “Does God
care?” and then there come the
words “God so loved the world.”
“When I think of the way I have
failed with God, I ask what is
there in me that God can love, that
God does care?” said the speaker.
He spoke of an Indian and a squaw
who had lived for 35 years on a
lonely island because buried be
neath the sod was the little babe
that they could not leave. God will
never
much
come
leave.
God, not because of the way He
came, hut because of the way he
walked through the world. That is
the way we want to live. The
speaker was absolutely sure that
God loved Canada, the United Stat
es, Great Britain and he was going
further to say that God Moves Ja
pan and God -loves Germany because
He loves the world because he gave
His Son. The message he wanted
to leave’ was that God does care.
He so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son.
The Sacrament of the Lord’s Sup
per was observed at the close. It
was the largest sacramental ser
vice since the Old Boys’ Reunion
in 1935.
The children baptized were: Doro
thy Jean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Kerslake; Valeria Dianne,

It is true that the army has

by the sterling performance of

seen action on many fronts, while
the army has remained inactive as
far as actual combat is concerned.
But it should not be forgotten that
in the end it will require an invas

sure the defeat of Hitlerism. Then
the Army will be called upon to play
its part. Meanwhile Canadian
troops both in England and in the
Dominion are training tirelessly to
