From Buckingham Palace, London, under ■date of March 11, 1939, the following cablegram was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Cartlidge, Arthur, Ontario: “The King and Queen are much interested to' hear that you have celebrated the sixty-eighth anniversary of your wed­ ding day and send you hearty con­ gratulations and good wishes.” The cablegram was signed “Private Secre­ tary.”—Listowel Banner. Has Close Call The quick' action of the engineer of the westbound C.P.R. diesel passeng­ er train in bringing the train to a quick stop no doubt was the means of averting a serious accident. We understand that Mr. David Yost, who was returning to his home at Gravel­ ridge from Milverton, did not hear or notice the approaching train while proceeding along the sideroad at Hamilton’s crossing, west of Milver­ ton, and had the train not been brought to a quick stop Mr. Y&st and his horse would most likely been hit.—Milverton Sun. have go- the Take Over Southampton Rink Negotiations which have been ing on for some time between trust company, acting for the mort- .gagor, and the arena directors have been practically completed and the steps for the surrendering of the Com­ pany charter and turning the proper­ ty over to the Parks Board will be taken at once.—Southampton Beacon. Ear Badly Lacerated Mr. Earl Wliiting, of Usborne, while attempting to stop a windmill on his farm during the heavy wind­ storm Wednesday, met with an acci­ dent which might have resulted more •seriously. He had climbed to the plat­ form when he was struck on the side of the head by the revolving fans and his left ear was badly lacerated, and Donates Organ to Church Mr, W. C. Fritz, one of Neustadt’s highly respected citizens is donating a new pipe organ to the Lutheran Church there, at a cost of $2,000, He also donated a beautiful altar cloth to the church.

Kincardine to Install New Courses Falling in line with the new course of study, which includes manual train­ ing as a featured work, Kincardine Board of Education approved calling of tenders for tables and work bench­ es. Joseph Fisher, chairman of the Central school committee was in­ structed to receive tenders and to aw­ ard the contract. The board hopes to have the equipment installed for work after the Easter holiday.—Kincardine News. Hound Exhausts Jack- Rabbit Few wild animals are credited with greater speed than the jack rabbits, which infest this and many other sec­ tions of Western Ontario. Their speed has been compared by many as equal to greased lightning but when it -com­ es to a test of endurance and stamina, the hound wins the decision. On Tuesday afternoon, a hound started a jack near the village, and a merry race ensued. The jack had little trouble in keeping ahead for an hour, but eventually found the loose snow somewhat tiring. The hound, long­ er legged, and greater, wheelbased, kept steadily gaining on its quarry and it became apparent that the race was not to be won by the swifter of .the contestants. A mail driver, pass­ ing the vicinity, noticed a jack rest­ ing in the snow, and had nq trouble in capturing it. As he did so the hound came into view, pretty well ex­ hausted, but keeping up his relentless pursuit.—Mildmay Gazette. Cheque Artist Fools Seaforth Merchants Seaforth merchants have been the vi -tmis of a ba.l cheque art:sr within recent weeks, it was learned follow­ ing complaints to Chief of Police Hel- mar Snell. In each case the man pur­ chased goods and in payment offered a cheque for $12.50, drawn on the ac­ count of a prominent McKillop farm­ er. The main explained he was em­ ployed by the farmer and that the cheque was for wages. The merch­ ants accepted the cheques, only to find upon presentation to their bank that they were forged.—Huron Expositor. Tapped 2,000 Maple Trees Maple syrup harvest is in progress in this district and Wednesday of last week was the first real day for the running of sap. One district farmer, James Garland, of near Cargill, it is expected, will have more than 2,000 of the maple trees tapped in his large bush. The season is some 10 days lat­ er than last year and it is most likely that there will be a rush and the run a short one. , investigating Robberies Huron County officials are investi­ gating a series of robberies which were committed on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning last week. In Letter From a, Man of 90 He -asks us to excuse his writing. We do more than that •— we congrat­ ulate him on being able to write at all at his age, especially gs he lias been suffering from rheumatism. This is what he says in his letters;— . “Three years ago I was in bed for six weeks with inflammatory rheum­ atism. Since that time I have been taking Kruschen Salts, and have not had another attack. But the com­ plaint left me with inflamed feet, and it hurt me to walk. My hands were also somewhat stiff. I took Kruschen every moimng before breakfast, and shall continue to do so, because I am sure they have kept me in good shape for three years. Excuse'this writing, as I am ninety years old, and use both hands to write.”—J.R.G. The pain and stiffness. of rheuma­ tism are often caused by uric acid in the muscles and joints. Kruschen helps to dissolve and remove excess uric acid in a gentle way through the natural channels. Renewed health and vigour is the result, Car Plunged Off Wharf Harold Nixdorf, Goderich, employ­ ed on the steamer Superior, wintering at Owen Sound, had a narrow escape from drowning «w.hen his automobile ran off.the wharf into 14 feet of wat­ er.

At the first sight of the herd, which included some fawn only a few weeks old, Brock stopped his car and kept very quiet. For half an hour his eyes feasted on the sight, and twice he counted them as they grazed in a farmer’s wheat field. The locale, is at the extreme southerly end of Saratoga swamp. Wingliam Listowel-Linwood Line to Close Permission has been granted the Canadian Pacific Railway to close its Listowel-Linwood' branch line by the' board of transport commissioners of Canada. A statement to this effect was received by L. A. Fleming, town clerk, and it gives the Canadian Na­ tional Railways six months to build a branch line from their Newton sub­ division to take cafe of all* traffic that goes via the Canadian Pacific line at present. Ingranting permission Hon. Mr. Guthrie, chairman of the commis­ sion, stated “the figures indicate very clearly that the line is being operated at a loss and I think the estimated joint saving in operation of $29,078.- 54 each year can be taken as approxi­ mately correct.” RELIGIOUS READING FOR LENTEN SEASON Currents of Thought in Modern , Religion ' By. 9.G. Article No. 5 In my last article I - spoke of the break up of churches but pointed out that although churches, especially in Europe, have been destroyed, the Christian religion still lives. Let us not forget that ecclesiasticism was thought of as being Chrstianity, and it is this “ecclesiasticism” that has failed not the Christian Faith. An .old church, sometimes strangled in heavy traditions, sometimes slav­ ishly sighing under chains of an om­ nipotent or totalitarian State, some­ times a desert of ritualistic and intel­ lectual formulae, is dying; but a new Church is born which in the midst, of chaos, ruins and desert, proves that its life is eternal. Protestant individualism has come to -an end. A new concept - or rather an old concept come to life again — is now sweeping Protestant thought i.e. religion is not simply a private matter; True religion cannot do. with­ out a social habitation. It is a well- known fact that ,our Protestantism developed often into a masterless in­ dividualism which was as deadly to Christian life as an over-organized ec­ clesiasticism. Our individualisms have been troubling and weakening us so much, that many • have looked for some “form” which would have all the advantages of individualism with­ out its perils. The value of the new concept is its confession that the soc­ ial and fraternal principle finds its consummation really, and its power only in the “Church.”. Religion cre­ ates a community i.e. A Church. A Church in one sense is simply a com­ munity of .souls. Protestantism is now thinking of its Church. This does not mean a rebirth of old denomination- alism,' as is so often said. It is rath­ er a new effort of faith to discover the meaning of the Church, the Church based upon the Gospel add on the Word of God revealed through Jesus Christ. A real hunger foi\the Church has awakened. The great conferences of Edinburgh, Oxford and Madras have revealed it and have focused the at­ tention of all thinking people upon it. “We want the Church” expresses the thought of those who participaiedGn the Conferences, and a holy resolve to preserve her was born. .“Let the Church be the Church” was the new slogan of the Oxford Coriference. But immediately the question was asked “Which Church?” Are we to have a Church based on human traditions,, ec­ clesiastical claims, or a Church based on the Word of God as revealed in the Bible through Jesus 'Christ and the Holy Spirit? Are we to have a Church established for political and social purposes only.^one that in these things will serve its day and then die out? Or are we to have a Church that having serve its day and continues to to live, adjusting itself to those chang­ es which will necessarily come as the centuries roll by. To this question the Protestant mind has turned and new currents of thoughts are sweeping through it, Not the preservation of denominations per-se but the creation of a nobler content of the concept “Church,” I venture to believe, that we are recapturing the thought that our Christian Faith depends upon an act of God. It is an act of God first, then a life to live afterwards. Salva* tioti first then, religion. Christianity as a religion stands upon “Salvation.” This is the issue, as I se^ it, between the Christian Faith and the “isms” of the day i.e. The Christian belief is so­ ciety founded upon a “supernatural” basis, but the “isms” attempt to found one upon a “natural” basis. A deified human nature will never issue if! a new world, but a redeemed human nature will. The challenge the “isms” presents has been accepted and Pro­ testantism has girt herself for. the conflict.

F. Martin, Doan of this med­ ical profession of Montreal, says, that “in the light of the diphtheria mortal* ity records at Alexandria Hospital in that city, the anti-diphtheria campaign tmdertakbn by the municipal authorit­ ies, had materially reduced the inci­ dence of the disease,” According to CRAWFORD’S GARAGE WINGHAM - - - ONTARIO BUY FROM A BUSINESS LEADER... .YOUR CHEVROLET DEALER the magazine “Health",, there were 258 death from diphtheria in Canada in 1936, of 56 fewer deaths than there were? 10 years ago in the two cities, Montreal and Toronto. Conclusive proof of the efficiency Of toxoid treatment is provided by a survey of Canadian cities made by the Health League. The fourteen cities with populations; in excess .of 50,000, represent more than a quarter of the entire population, yet the diphtheria deaths in these cities, Quebec except­ ed, represented only 10% of the total. In all these'cities, Quebec excepted, a toxoid campaign has been carried out for years'. Quebec City, which did not adopt1" general toxoiding', (she does how), is the single city showing an in­ crease in incidence and deaths from diphtheria. The figures of diphtheria deaths for the years 1927 and 1936 are illuminating. Montreal (1927) 219 deaths; (1936) 18 deaths, Toronto, 95 and 2; Vancouver 8 and 3; Winnipeg 25 and 3; Hamilton 1 and 0; Quebec 21 and 25; Ottawa 26 and 0; Calgary 23 and 0; Edmonton 2 and 1; London 10 and 1; Windsor 11 and 0; Verdun 8 and 1; Halifax- 7 and 4; Regina 2 and 1. In the smaller cities' the • contrast between “then and now” is even more striking. Fourteen Canadian cities have no deaths from diphtheria for periods ranging from 5 to 10 years. What is the reason? It is because the local health authorities in these places have been active in the protection of their children against diphtheria. They have inaugurated and systemat­ ically carried out toxoid campaigns. Towns and cities where the authorit­ ies have lagged in the battle still have diphtheria cases and an inordinate death rate from thi^ malady. Diph­ theria can be controlled. Why not wipe it out? Macedonians like to have their brides brought up in the old tradition Most of the men of that nation in Canada were born in Europe. That is why they bring girls from Macedonia. The groom pays the girl’s transporta­ tion and posts a bond with the gov­ ernment. Marriages must take place within 30 days after the arrival of the bride. The government' returns the bond of $400 when its stipulations are met Here arc the happy meetings in Toronto after the brides were delayed by immigration officials at the border.
