NORTH HURON
A« Sd, Musgrove ResElected By
a Majority of 258.
The Provincial elections for Ontario
are over once mare, and A. H. Mus-
grove, Winghamni esteemed citizen,
has again been chosen to represent
North Huron in the Legislature, and
his increased majority ie evidence of
the confidence reposed in him by the
electors.
Mr. Musgrove made a most credit-
able representative, and while he may
bave not been able to please all the
phases of thought in his constituency,
he certainly discharged his duties con-
scientiously, and during the present
Legislative term will no doubt take a
prominent part in the procoedinge in
the Legislature, withcredit to himself
and his constituency.
The Advance has not a single unkind
word of criticism of Mr. Kerr, the
Liberalcandidate,nor of his supporters.
While the editor of this paper sup-
ported Mr. Musgrove's c indidature,
that course was taken fairly and
inoffensive'y; hence we have no apolo-
gies to offer for 'our a:tion. We can-
not all see or think alike, nor is it well
that we .ebould.
Th3 official figures wi' le known

the Government that the province
would 'undertake the development of

the municipalities to submit by-law so

laws are to be submitted in different
towns throughout the county. and it
is expected that a sutRolent number of
municipalities will be in favor of the
scheme, so that the development of

Hand Crushed.
The Advance regrets to hear, that
Mr. C. H. Sanders, editor of the
Exeter Advocate, while running a
Gordon press on Tuesday morning,
met with an unfortunate accident by
which he had the last three fingers of
his left hand badly smashed. , A. print-
ed sheet had fallen from the grippers
and in reaching for it his ring became
caught in the machine and held his.
hand until the press closed, thus
squeezing the three fingers, breaking
the bones and bruising the flesh great-
ly. The accident will prevent the
hand being used for a considerable
time. It is Loped, however, that the
fingers will not need amputation, al-
though it is feared two of them may
always be stili'.

"Higher criticism has strengthened
the old position of the Bible, and the
character of the old book has not
been changed," said Rev, Dr, A. B.
Simpson before the Christian and
Missionary Alliance in Central Pres-
byterian church. Dr. Simpson took
for hie text—"The Bible in the Light
of Modern Thought." He showed
that rationalistic, scientific skepticism
was being discredited, and that the
tendency WO to return to a more con-
servative and orthodox position with
regard to higher criticism.

that at the recent Sunday School
Rally day exercises at the First Bap-
tist church, it developed that one
member of the school has been in
charge of a single department for
fifty-three years. That member is
Mrs. A. P. Wheeler, superintendent of
the primary department. When the
announcement was made, the superin-
tendent of the school asked everybody
in the audience who had at one time
been a member of Mrs. Wheeler's
class to rise, and practically the entire
audience was on its feet in a moment,
and they ranged all the way from
gray-baired men and women to little
tote barely able to walk.
