He spent the closing year of his probation on the Hensel' circuit, having Bethesda as one of its appointments at that time. He has spent most of his min- isterial life within the London Con- ference. On being invited to Walk- erton he was transferred to Hamil- ton conference where he spent four years, being called to Milton and from Milton to Emerald Street. The reporter for the Emerald St. church pays the following tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson: "Mr. Wilson combines the quality of a thoughtful forceful preacher, faithful pastor, successful organizer and financier in an unusual degree. He may be cat- alogued as especially a young peoples preacher and friend, the young peo- ple on every circuit having deepest regret at his departure. Emerald Street would gladly have kept Mr. and Mrs. Wilson a prolonged term had that been possible, and we wish him as successful' a pastorate at Exeter as he has had at Emerald St. church." 0 BACK FROM '.SHE W AR Corp.

Joseph Peart was born at Fetney, Lincolnshire, England, in the month of August 1828. At the early years of seven or eight years he entered the service of Wm. and John Hewson, from whom he received thirty shill- ings for a term of three years. He spent altogether fourteen years in farm labour in the old country, his highest wages being 10 pounds 10\ shillings a year. He was converted to God at 10 years of age and joined the Primitive Methodist church. His educational privileges were few hav- ing attended Humbertson school for a few years only. In 1851 he came to Canada, Port Hope being his first destination. Immediately he began to work on a farm in the Township of Hope, and cast in his lot with the Bible Christian church in the neigh- borhood. On Christmas Day 1855 he was married by Rev. Wm. Hooper to Miss Grace Vanstone, of Tyrone, formerly of Devonshire, England. Soon afterwards he rented a farm in Hope township. Five years later he moved to the township of Darlington where for ten years he worked a 200 acre rented farm. His next move was to Huron County where Mr Peart purchased a 200 acre farm in the year 1870 which he cultivated for 17 years when he retired and moved to Exeter. Mrs. Peart died on August 6th. 1901. In 1902 he was married to Mary Ann Hubbard of Norfolk, England, but then of Toronto. Un- til laid aside by failing health Mr. Peart was an active member of the church having served in official posi- tions as class Ieader, pew steward etc He loved his Father's house and not until his deceased and tired limbs re- fused to carry hint was his place vac- ant in the church. He represeuted a rugged type of Christianity that was sufficient to stand temptation and en- dure trials and bear up under life's burdens. His voice was frequently heard in Christain testimony and prayer, and whatever his defects, and who is free from these, all who knew hint best felt that his heart was right Another of the Exeter boys who and his hope bright in relation to saw the finish of the big war and the future.

Experience shows that out of 100 average healthy men 25 years of age the following will be true at 65; 1 only will be wealthy 4 will be well-to-do. 5 will be obliged to go on supporting. themselves by work 36 will be dead. 54 will be dependent upon relatives or charity.

Could Pte. Eric Burdon I his emancipated Soul speak to us to- day we think it would say in words Pte. Eric Hurdon, son of Mr. N. D. of Longfellow: Hurdon of town, arrived home Sat- ' urday evening from Overseas. He came up from London by auto. Pte. Hurdon has a long war record and I was wounded at the big scrap at Cambrai, just previous to the sign- ing of the armistice. He received a wound in the right forearm which has healed and he is as well as ever. Pte. Hurdon enlisted in town 1916 with the 1G1.st. Batt. and seventeen days after landing in England was drafted to France and attached to the 58th. Batt. He was with the 13att. at Vimy Ridge, Avion, Lens, Pass- chendale and several other noted battles. At the time of the Amiens scrap he was in rest billett, this being Ithe only battle of importance in which. the 58th. was engaged during his time, that Pte. Hurdon did not have a hand in. He left on Tuesday to visit in Buffalo. Friend after friend departs; Gunner Fred Brinacombe hash not lost a friend?

The hand goes practically into the same pocket for it all. Axa*s, We heard of a man who came to town and tried to drive a bargain with a local merchant for a certain commodity and refused to buy be- cause he could purchase at a little closer margin in the city. He sent away for what he considered he need- ed, but failing to anticipate his needs correctly he ran out before the job was completed. In his pred:ciment at the very time when delay meant money he hustled to town to get that particular merchant to supply hien with the necessary to help hint thro. What did the merchant do? What would you do? To send to the city then meant delay when delays were dangerous. If the home merchant can save you dollars in a pinch, he is the best man to trust at all times. Suckers: This is the season for suckers. Easter holidays and warm Spring weather offered ample oppor- tunity to the small boy to hunt up his fishing tackle, dip up a few worms and hike to the rippling stream:: in search of suckers, and he got them. At least some of the boys did. It is rather significent that early in life boys get the fishing feeling. This same spirit remains through life and only changes in form as years and ex- perience accumulate. Every man is out fishing for a livelihood. Some are better fishers than others and more familiar with the attractive bait. With some the season for suckers is all the time and they get them. The surest and safest way is to trust the ratan you know with your money. The dealer with a reputa- tion will give you the best every -day service. 5 5 5 2 * get is what we g .t cut oft it from P dayto dayand what we get out of it depends on what we put into it. 5 When you pull down t'ne town in which is your home, you are pulling down yourself, and when you build up you are building up yourself and your neighbor. Try and banish from your mind the mistaken idea that all good things are away off in some oth- er locality. Give your town all the praise it can legitimately bear. It certainly will do you no harm and will cost you nothing; and above all patronize your home institutions -- including the printing office.
