Each year about the time that all plans should be ready the talk' starts. The idea behind such an affair is a good one but the or­ ganization to carry it on should be get up early. We understand that the Agricultural Society is ready to adopt such an undertaking or at least are welling to give it every support, We should be ideally located for such an activity. Lucknow were planning to have a spring fair this year but did not make their plans in time. The spring fairs held in this district at Clinton .Seaforth and Hensail, were all very successful. A similar fair here should be a success with proper or­ ganization, and we are sure the spon­ sors would receive every co-operation, s«t * sjs * A COACH WOULD HELP One of the troubles that those in charge of the various sports activities in smaller places have is the coach­ ing. problem. This fact has been re­ cognized here for a long time and ev­ er so often we hear discussions on the subject. In the larger centres sport ' is now so highly organized that prac­ tically every club of any size has a good coach, This gives the players of such clubs a marked advantage over organizations in small centres who cannot afford or for some other rea­ son have not this advantage. Goderich recently engaged an ath­ letic coach, a young man who, it is said, can be of service to teen-age boys, to the various branches of sport. If this idea could be carried out here it would be of great benefit to our younger players.

It is Canada’s oldest monthly magazine and those who have followed its progress will be very sorry indeed when it ceases to be a monthly visitor.

Writing of his ex­ periences, he says:— “For five years I suffered terribly from rheumatic pains, and I began to think my case hopeless. I also had a bad stomach, and I rarely had a meal without my food repeating on me. One day an old friend told me to try Kruschen Salts. So I bought a bottle and gave it a trial. “After some time I was able to en­ joy a meal and to walk more freely. One morning I got up and lit the fire, and my mother thought I was crazy, because I sawed my old crutches up and boiled the kettle for coffee with them. That was six years ago, and I am now back at my old job as a chef.” —H.A.B. Do you realise what causes a good deal Of rheumatism? Nothing but sharp-edged uric acid crystals which form as the result of sluggish elimin­ ating organs. Kruschen Salts can al­ ways be counted upon to clear those painful crystals from the system, 0 Victoria Day races planned by the Turf Club, it was inferred that this was the only meet the club would hold this season. This is incorrect. The Turb Club will continue its. July 1st meet, a popular event of recent years, and the Victoria Day meet will be an extra event.—Seaforth Huron Expositor. .

Horse Bites and Kills Mate James Kelly lost a young horse in a most unusual manner. He was tow- ing his car on the town line, west of Keldon, near Dundalk, using a team of horses as motive power, When the horses were pulled off the side of the road to allow other traffic to pass, one of the horses bit his mate on the top of the head, never releasing its grip till the other horse fell dead.—-Tara Leader, New Playground for Kincardine Within the next few weeks, Kin­ cardine will have a new playground park. The site of the salt block, now owned by Canadian Industries, Ltd., is to be converted into a park. Per­ mission was given the town by the company to take .over the property to use as a playground, Already .the company lias spent several hundred dollars levelling and clegring it.—Kin­ cardine News. Trapped Albino Muskrat , Ross Roberts, youthful Brantford trapper, has captured an albino musk­ rat, and is having the animal stuffed. Roberts, who was 19 years old recent­ ly, is an expert on the trap-line. He has seen many muskrats, but no'ne as beautiful as the albino he caught near Fairchild’s Creek, not many miles fr.om Brantford. Hairs of its pelt glis­ ten like silver slivers. Not a dot of black appears on the pelt. Tail and feet are hairless and pink. D ' ■ 11 O’Clock Closing Saturday The earlier closing of the stores Saturday nights f during the winter months proved so satisfactory that at a well attended meeting of the Busi­ ness Men’s Association it was decided to make a real effort. to close the stores at 11 p.m. on Saturday during the coming summer.—Listowel ‘Ban­ ner. • , , On Guaranteed Trust Certificates ^MiiMiinuininntnnuutininnntunHtminuiititmimnnuT Killed Skunk with Board “One day last week,” writes one of our correspondents, “ a member of our household, on going into the hen­ house about noon, was horrified to find a skunk eating with the hens. The unwelcome visitor looked at him, then continued eating. Taking a piece of board that was handy, and of course keeping in front of the animal, he killed it—and never received any reward either.” — Fergus News-Re cord. St. Marys Lad Champion Gum Chewer The Harvard gold fish eating derby has put strange ideas into the heads of youths seeking distinction in odd wagers. So far, Jas Healy, St. Marys, holds 'the record here achieved by chewing 25 sticks of gum at one time for one ho-ur^ on a 50-cent bet. “Ped­ ro” Kemp, same town, boasts the eat­ ing of seven oversize chocolate bars >in 10 minutes accompanied by three bottles of pop all taken in one gulp to- the bottle. He followed this with a hearty supper. To substantiate his feat, Kemp has accomplished this achievement a second time. Bill Rich­ ardson, also of St. Marys, has the re­ cord for speed, having gulped five bot­ tles of soda pop in two minutes.

Article, No. 7 Having led you in thought through many devious paths in my attempt to portray currents of thought in our Protestant world, perhaps I will be pardoned for writing one more article ere I lay down, my pen., ’ ■ In the articles written thus far two things have been revealed (1) eccles- iasticism is not the Church and (2) the Christian Faith is not the organi­ zation. Yet all Christians will sub­ scribe to the creed “In the Church Christianity is made alive.” There is universal belief that the Church is of ■divine creation, the body of those whom God has called through His Son and sent into the world to do His will. Because the truth of the Chris­ tian tradition is vital, it is embodied in a living community, which preserv­ es, reinterprets, and hands it down to successive generations. Let this be re­ membered when you are tempted to be impatient with the Chttfch and churches. These churches stand for the best in life. Through them the truth of the Christian tradition is pre­ served, and by them that tradition is reinterpreted from time to time so that succeeding generations may have' the benefit of that interpretation. It might be of service if I briefly stat­ ed what the Church was thought to be at various periods bf her'history. In the early days of Christianity “Church” meant the fellowship of a new age, the community of those who oven in the present, were the inherit­ ors of the promises made to the pro* phets, and looked in hope to the ndar fulfilment of God’s kingdom. In the medieval period was the Ro- man Church, with its claim to be the Kingdom ol God on earth. At the opposition to the world and that it is the guardian of a supreme revelation than can meet any horn* of crisis. What would constitute the ideal concept of the Church? Shall we choose'one or any or all that have arisen during the centuries, Or shall we reject one and all? Is it possible to incorporate in One concept the val- ue of all the types mentioned and thus preserve what is best in them? What­ ever changes the years bring one thing will stand out prominently, Christianity will clothe itself with the body most suted to it, for religion without social habitation will perish. MOTHERS RAISED A. FUSS of of to by side with the Protestant the Church was the concep- the sect, a conception which play a significant role in the apex of its structure stood the pap­ acy,. In the Mass she re-enacted, the drama of salvation and brought the life of God to men. She was. the sole guardian of the Christian tradition and in her only could man, find sal­ vation. To the early Reformers the Church meant the transcendent community of those who had faith. They denied the absolute institution which set itself up. as God upon earth, The moral vigor of the Reformation expressed Itself in its condemnation of the corrupt -ec- clesiasticism of the late middle ages,, and the level of Christian life was, raised by the stern and austere ethics of the Puritans. Side idea tion was development of Christianity in Amer­ ica. The sects were uncompromising in their attitude toward the' State Churches, contending that the Church should be separate from the World, With the growth of rationalism the idea of the denomination came to the front. The Protestant communions Came to regard each other with toler­ ation and stress was laid upon the “churches” rather than upon the tran­ scendent unity of the Church. On this side of the Atlantic the central place of worship in the Church’s life was superceded by activism and the social gospel. The great war and the rapid growth of inissionary activity led to a reviv­ ed interest in the essential unity and religious task of the Church. Within the present decade the churches have resisted the.divisive trend of modern culture which has been precipitated by the rise of the fascist states. The Oxford and Edinburgh, Conferences made known to the world the mind of the Protestant bodies. They re­ vealed that despite the divergence of belief upon the nature of the Church, there is a common awareness that it is of Divine origin, that it stands in This is the babies’ gas’mask over which British mothers raised a rum* pus.
