The salesman made a mis­ take there; he should have said it was the “latest” in cars. No matter how good it is it will soon be surpassed and, before long, it will be old-fashioned. The plain truth is that this is a world of change and even up- to-date things soon become obso­ lete. Not so many years ago a ship was launched in England to which proud admirers .gave the title: “Queen of the Seas.” In less than a generation that ship was sold for junk; not so much because ft was worn out as due to the fact it had become com­ pletely out of date. The English journalist, A. C. Gardiner, wrote that he disliked, distrusted people who constantly used the word: “Undoubtedly.” He insisted that in a world like ours, no man has any right to be so cocksure and emphatic. He must remember that there . are always two sides to a question and he may be wrong. Personally .1 don’t know any­ thing better calculated to keep us humble than a visit to a mu­ seum. When we see the house­ hold utensils, farming imple­ ments, and above all the clothing that our predecessors used, , we wonder how on earth they got along as they did. We wonder, until we remember that these crude and clumsy things were once considered very modern, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Wanner, of Sarnia, and Miss Nona Pym of London recently visited .with Mr, and Mrs, Ernie Pym, GREENWAY Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hodge and daughters of Detroit spent the week-end .with Mrs. Albert Pol­ lock.

Innes. He took top honors in the male bird divsion of the poultrymen’s convention at Simcoe, Ontario, recently. • —'Central Press Canadian The people of that time consider­ ed them “the last word.” The lesson for us all is that we must keep our minds hospit­ able to new ideas. The last cai' has not been made nor has the last word been spoken on any subject. Each .generation starts to build where the previous one left off and five hundred years from now maybe our automobiles and flying machines and hun­ dreds of other things we think are smart, Will be shown in mu­ seums to the amusement of others who have made progress. There is a building standing in Madison Square Park in New York city which seems tiny and insignificant. It is completely overshadowed by towering sky­ scrapers, some of them .ten times its size. Yet when that building I was erected it seemed tremend-1 ous. Here is how one New York I paper referred to it: “This great building which towers over every building in the square.” If my memory serves me right that building is now the smallest building in the park. One of the most memorable sayings of Jesus is his plea to the .disciples that they would keep their minds open. In John 16: 12 we have these words: “I have yet many things .to say un­ to. you but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of .Truth is come, he will guide you into all truth.” In the light of these words, who would dare to have a closed mind? This does not mean that all new ideas are right and old ones wrong, but it does mean that we have a great deal to learn and that we should not be afraid of ideas simply because they are new. When I hear a man thumping the table with his fist and say­ ing: “I’m telling you,”; “take it from me,” etc. I know I’m listen­ ing to one who lias much to learn although I would hate to tell him so. We all have a lot to learn and civilization has not made very much progress after all. Several Of the leading nations , of the world are spending almost as much money on maintaining the instruments o f war, e.g. army, navy and airforce, as they are devoting to feed their people. That is a humiliating state of affairs no matter what alibi’s one makes. When nations are straining themselves to keep armed to the teeth, we know that oui- vaunted civilization 11^3 a long way to go. Our law mak­ ers haven’t got the last word any more than the automobile mak­ ers.. Our quotation today is a say­ ing by the great Canadian physi­ cian, Sr. William Osler: “A healthy man does not require al­ coholic stimulants of any kind.” Mr, and Mrs. J. W. Penrose and son Kenneth of Hamilton visited for a few days recently at the home of the former’s mother and sister. Mr. aiid Mrs. W. ,G. Cochrane, Mrs. G. Cochrgne’ and Mrs. Bounds m o Jt o r e d fo Grand Rapids, Mich., where they , at­ tended the wedding of a cousin.

Someone is looking for the very thing for which you have no further use. Tell them about it in a CLASSIFIED AD in this paper. A little boy, at school for the first time was sobbing Jxitterly. “What’s the matter, Willy?” asked the teacher. "I don’t like school and I have to stay here until I’m 14,” wail­ ed the lad. “Dont let that worry you,” said the teacher. "I have to stay here until I’m 65.
