THE DAY'S RESULTS
IS anybody happier because you pas-
sed his way?
Does anyone remember that you
spoke to him to -day?
This day is almost over and it's toil-
ing time is through;
Is there anyone to utter a kindly
word to you?
Did you give a cheerful greeting to
the friend who came along,
Or a churlish sort of "howdy" and
then vanish in the throng?
Were you selfish pure and simple,
as you rushed along the way,
Or is some one mighty grateful for a
deed you did to -day?
Can you say to -night, in parting with
the day that's sliping fast,
That you helped a single brother of
the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over
what you did or said
Does a man whose hopes were fad-
ing,
ading, now with courage look ahead?
Didyou waste the day or lose it, was
it well or poorly spent
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or
a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber do
you think that God would say,
You have earned one more to -mor-
row by the work you did to -day.
—Edgar S. Guest.

go to Ottawa soon to secure this as-
surance from Hon. F. B. Carvell.
About 500 houses will be needed

Lance -Corp. Edgar E. Down has
arrived home from overseas and was
met in St. Marys on Wednesday by
his sister, Miss Down. Lance -Corp.
Down enlisted with the engineers
in Toronto and trained at Ottawa.
He has served with the engineers in at once and 500 more later if the.

Want is coming, has leased a tract
of 450 acres of the town, part of the
old Menesetung Park and part of the
Attrill property, owned by Barrister
Fleming, ex-M.P., of Windsor. This
is to be levelled and made into a
summer resort and amusement park.
Another rumor has it that the C.i!
R. is about to make Goderich its
main Western Ontario Lake port,
and that much traffic now going
through Port McNichol will come
here.
It is known that the C.P.R. has
plans, drawn some time ago, for
docks and a rail terminus here, and
it is not unlikely that if the harbor
improvements are made by the Gov-
ernment that a large terminus will
be made by the C. P. R. here.
Pte. John J. gornish, son of Mr.
John Cornish; of Elirnvilte, returned
home from overseas last week. He
enlisted with the 161st.. Huron Bat-
talion
attalion and was drafted to France
when the battalion w.as broken up.
He was wounded once but only
slightly. Two brothers are still
with . the forces; Fred in Belgium
and Dia in Siberia.
Pte. Hilray Horton arrived last
Saturday from overseas and spent the
week -end with his family in town, re-
turning to London Tuesday for his
discharge. Pte. Horton went over
with the 161st. Huron Battalion.
While in England he served with the
forces at his trade. as blacksmith.
His two daughters Misses Alberta
and Hildred Horton came up from
Toronto and spent the week -end
with him.
Gunner Francis Hill, sen of Mr.
and Mrs. Francis Hill, of town arriv-
ed hone from the war on Thursday
evening of last week. He went over-
seas in 1917 with the Cobourg heavy
battery. Previous to his enlistment
he was an the staff of a bank in Bell-
eville. He spent over eight mouths
in France and was lucky to come
through the heavy fighting of the
last without a scratch. His brother
Nelson who is in England is expected
home in June.
Lance -Corp.'. Milton G. Pfaff hat,
arrived in London from overseas.
Lance -Corp., Pfaff came over on a
hospital ship and has been admitted
to the military hospital in London.
A short time before armistice was
signed Corp. Pfaff was seriously in-
jured in the hip. At the time his
parents received notice that he had
been killed in action. This was later
contradicted and he was reported
missing. For several months he has
been in a plaster cast. Previous to
his enlistment in the Huron Batta-
lion he was employed as clerk with
Mr. W. S. Cole. His many friends
will be glad to hear of his return and
will wish for him a speedy restora-
tion to health.
Nursing Sister J. Johnston is the
guest of Dr. and Mrs. McGillicuddy,
of town. Miss Johnston has just re-
turned from overseas where she has
had a remarkable experience with
the Canadian Army Medical Corps.
She went overseas with the first con-
, tingent that left Val Cartier, and
during the past four years and eight
months followed the armies in many
theatres of war. She was at the Isle
of Lemnos at the time the Allies

and afterwards to France. For her

solution was put to the meeting by
the secretary, Rev. IL B. Parnaby,
and unanimously adopted by a. etand-
ing vote.
Moved by ltev, E. G. Powell,
seconded by J. H. Johnston: That
because of an apparent overlapping
of the interests of the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches on the
District, we recommend the cir-
cuit Boundaries Commission to take
such steps to make overtures to the
Presbyterian Maderator to have a•
Committee appointed to meet with e.
similar committee from the Method-
ist Church to look over the entire
field to see if some satisfactory ar-
rangements can be made to do away
with overlapping. This resolution
was also carried una:nimousiy.
Moved by Dr. Medd, seconded by
C. W. Baker, Whereas the Rev; Ben
Spence, the Secretary of the Domi-
nion Alliance has been convicted by
Magistrate Kingsford on a charge of
publishing abook forbidden by the
Censor and sentenced to a fine of
$500.00 or imprisonment for four
months.
And whereas the said Rev. Ben
Spence urgently pleaded for trail by
jury, the undeniable right of every
British subject, and was persistent-
ly refused this privilege and right.
And whereas Magistrate Kings-
ford in giving judgement did not
disci= the contents of, or the merits
of the book issued by Mr. Spence,
but on the contrary confined himself
to two points, namely 1, The iden-
tity of the book issuete by Mr. Spence
and the book called "The Parasite"
issued by Mr. Arthur Mee, of Eng-
land; and 2nd. The fact of publica-
tion of the book.
And whereas the book Balled "The
Parasite" issued by Mr. Bee was not
banned in England or America, but
was allowed free circulation.
And whereas we understood that
the book issued by Mr. Spence was
a 'moderate statement of facts re-
garding the liquor traffic in England,
and that knowledge of such fact
was the right of every citizen of the
Dominion and necessary for the for-
mation of correct judgement upon
the grave issues of Prohibition and
related questions.
Therefore we the members of the
Exeter District of the Methodist
Church in Annual Meeting assembled
place on record our most unquali-
• fled protestation against the action of
• the censor in forbidding the public-
' ation and circulation • of the book
containing ,necessary information ter
the people of Canada and also again-
st the decision of Magistrate Kings-
ford which we characterise as a gross
miscarriage of justice and thirdly
against the so-called legal procedure
which denied Mr. Spence the right of
trial by jury. Be it further resolves
that we assure Rev. Ben Spence, of
our unimpaired confidence in his in-
tegrity and that he still commands
our deepest esteem and warmest af-
fection in the arduous task to which
he has committed his life The
resolution was adopted without a
single dissentinent and copies order-
ed sent to Rev. Ben Spence, Hon. Mr..
Lucas and Magistrate Kingsford.
• The people of Woodham made gen-
erous provision for the entertain-
ment of the visitors and at the noon
hour a very cordial resolution of ap-
preciation' was. moved by Dr. Medd
and seconded by Rev. A. E. Doan, of
Hensall, who had just risen from the
table spread with good things and
confessed to have "Inside Informer
tion" (or was inflamation) of the
generous hospitality of the people of,
' Woodham. The resolution was car-
Iried in a burst of enthusiasm which
ended in singing "For They are lolly
1 Good FeIlows."
The District meeting* was invited-
e to meet next year in Granton and
Ithe invitation was cordially accepted.
The meeting adjourned and thus
ended one of the best District Moot -
Ings it has been our privilege to at-
tend for some time.
