AN EXPLANATION To the Editor of THE POST DEAR SIR,—I have clipped the fol- lowing from the columns of last week's POST :— Rumor says neighboring town zealete, who look with envious sY u would ee on Biussels, t 1 d like to P one o e of our industries. thee. They get in wrong by such tactics. You have informed me by 'phone that this refers to a visit made by the writer and two citizens of Wingham to your town some daye ago and ie the result of a conversation we had on the day of our visit with Mr. White jr., of the firm of Ament Bros. & White, and as it ie very wide of the mark, seeing that we bad no'iutention of "purloin- ing" any of Brussels' industries I wish to bring your attention to the facts of the ease. In conversation with a citizen of Wingham some days ago Mr. White jr, stated it was the intention of their firm (the firm of Ament Bros. & White) to leave Brussels and gave several reasons. (1) That wood supplies such as their firm used were about exhausted on the 0, N. R. and they desired to get a place where there were both 0, N. R. and C. P. R.; (2) They could not secure sufficient number of houses in Brussels for their employees ; (3) They could not secure sufficient skilled help ; (4) They desired a place where they could have their plant in one building, seeing that their places of business are now widely separated. The gentleman to whom Mr. White had mentioned these matters came to the writer and stated that Mr. White, he felt sure, was quite serious in what he, had said—that is of the firm's in- tention of leaving Brussels — and I mentioned same to two citizens who happened to be passing my place of business a few minutes later, It was agreed to take a run down to Brussels and ask Mr. 'White jr. if what he had said about leaving Brute eels was correct, which we did and in our conversation with said gentleman I mentioned I had understood they were intending to move to Rome other place to which Mr. White replied, "Not that he knew of." I then seked him if he had not men- tioned the matter to a citizen of Wingham and stated the different reasons given by him, to which Mr. White replied that he had made said remarks but that be was "only talk- ing." We promptly assured him that we were not trying to Induce their firm to leave Brussels and left for home. Notwithstanding what hae been said in Brussels regarding this matter we at least have the satiefaction of knowing that we did nothing what- ever that savored of "purloining" or unfair tactics and regret the Editor of Tris POST did not become conversant with the facts before publishing the rather caustic reference to this matter in your journal. Thanking you in expectation of pub- lishing this, I awl Yours Truly W.

Continuing; the series of sermons on Paul's Epistles tei the Corinthians last Sabbath moaning in Melville Church, pastor spoke on the, subject of "Phe Christian's Civil Rights," taking as his text r Cor. 6 : it, "But ye are Washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."—The Civil Rights of the Christian are vested in the principles of Jesus Christ which teach the surrender of rights believing that in the end right will triumph over wrong. At the evening service pastor's theme was "The causes and remedy for spir- itual unrest in the church." The great differences in the belief of the Fund- amentalists and Modernists was pointed out and the need of intercessors who would lead to tbe stabilizing of our religious beliefs. Causes leading to un- rest were :—(t) Lack of religious teach- ing in the home ; (2) The faithless:idea that what bas always been must be : (3) Tbe idea of specialists has robbed us of the time to think these matters out for ourselves ; (4) The fear and horror of unsettlement of religious belief ; (5) Many men and women throw over every- thing because they cannot accept it all, Tbe remedy—Iu whatever lot God has placed you trust in Him and cling to Him and He will give you further light.
