DEanarerom TIDIIO.---A meeting of
sone of the. Old Boys - of Perth and
Huron Countiee, at whioh the Old
Girls were not conspicuous by their
absence, was held at Deerbank Farm
on Wednesday, April7th., where they
had been invited by 13, A. and Mrs.
McNaught to meet the latter's brother,
Jas,,, of Wooster, Ohio, who though
he has made visite home about once
in It decade of years had not met some
of hie old friends' in 25 or 80 years.
All the invited came and no parlia-
mentary debate was ever noisier, no
burlesque performance productive of
more merriment. • Such exclamations
as 'Well, well, I'd know you any-
where" "You're hardly ' changed a
bit ; " A little older looking" ;
"Wouldn't have known you" ; "How
much do you weigh" ; "Oh; I've been
working in the bush this Winter and
it pulled me down" ; "A good thing
you did or you'd weigh bigger part of
a ton" ; "When he got the invitation
he was sick with a cold but we heard
no more complaining after that" ; "I
knew there was no use I had to mine
to bring you" ; "I said .I was coming
if 1 had to walk" ; were •heard'on all
sides. Reminiscences followed, "'Phe
time you arid T got lost in that
swamp" ; "Weren't they more like
bear traeke than anything -you ever
saw "The ball games we played",
eto. The Old Girls were regaled with
stories about their husbands they had
never heard before. Then down to
the war and polities. "I tell you %that
if 1 were Premier of Ontario for- a
day" -"Oh make it a clay and a half
Jho", :"well yes. it might take as long
as that ; if I were Premier of Ontario
..for a day and a half I'd"make •it so
dry" -"Say old fellow I'rn glad I Met
you, you've learned a whole lot" -"Oh
that is not half all I know ; "Theta
what it is to have heads like you and
I", patting affectionately his own bald
pate and that of the speaker"; "Had
more fun then out of 10 cents than out
of a five since"; "Old friends are the
best friends" ; etc„ etc. The day was
lovely and the wealth of mud under-
foot did not deter them from wander-
ing off by twos and threes. Finally a
call
carne to have a "snap" of the
group while the sun shone. It proved
impossible to get then all together
and quiet enough at one time so it was
decided to take them in sections and
even then the Old Girls had to be
taken with their mouths ?pen. After
dinner notices of a picnic lunch at 5
ps in. were posted up and all talk of
long drives and bad roads was taboed
till after that time. Talk of the good
old songs we used to sing brought us
round the piano where we proved our
powers along that line were still in
gond repair by rendering "When you
and I were young ;" "Old Black Joe ;"
"Dixie," etc., ending up with the more
modern "Tipperary". But all things
have to cone to an end, even, good
things and so Good-byes had to; be
said but even then we lingered and
some more sentences were caught and
stored by some of the rising genera-
tion present whose enjoyment was as
keen as that of their elders such as
"Well this is the shortest day I ever
spent" ; "Why don't you write ?
what's your address ? Oh just ask for
the . rnayor-•of-and you will soon
find me" ; "I'rn so glad we came;' ;
"I would not have missed this for
anything" ; "This has been worth a
two and a ail" ;`"Well Good -Bye be
a good bye, yes if I cant'tbe that I

CALLED AWAY.-Onsof the most
highly esteemed citizens of Ethel, in
the person of Samuel Chambers,
passed away on Thursday morning of
last week. Mr. Chambers had not
hr•rn ht rugged health for many years
but by taking .•xcellent care of him-
self he leached the lige age of 76
years. He was boo in Onunty Down,
Ireland In 1840, and was left an orphan
when 7 years of age. Li 1854 lie and
his two sisters cisme to Oauada and
for a few years lived with au uncle,
Thos. Wells, in Stanley township,
Huron Oo. Before lie was 20 years of
age Mr. Chambers set up a home for
self and his two sisters. During the
Summer months they worked out Si'
the neighboring farmers and in the
Winter time followed their occupation
of weavers. Mr. Chambers in early
childhood worked in the linen mills in
Ireland. In 1871 he visited Ireland
and on his return brought with him
his two little• cousins, George and
Lizzie Haddock, whom he raised.
George died some years ago in Gode-
rich township and Miss Lizzie, who
later became Mrs. Daniel Eckrnier; of
Clinter), died on New' Years' Day of
this year. After living in Stanley and
the village of Varna for about 20
years•; Mr. Chambers came to the
township of Grey and settled on , the
farm now owned by Jas. Kerr. In
1880 because of his poor health, he
took another trip to Ireland. He re-
turned that same year. Although he
moved a number of .times still he
spent the past 42 years in the vicinity
of and in the village of Ethel. He
not only worked his farm but also
wove carpet, flannel blankets, &c., for
his neighbors. 26 years ago he mar-
ried Miss Mary Vic. Panabaker, of
Hespeler, who with their daughter,
Elizabeth survive. He is also survived
by his two sisters, Mrs. Samuel Both-
well, of Goderich township, and Mrs.
McKelvey, Grey township. Mr.
Chambers was a good man, who fear-
lessly stood for the right in church
and State. He was an ardent temper-
ance worker. He belonged when a
young man, to the I. O. of Good
Templers in Varna and later to the
Sons of Temperance in Ethel. For
nearly 50 years be took the Montreal
Witness and was strong in hie praise
of the stand it took on all moral ques-
tions. He was a Reformer in politics
and loved his party but at several
elections he refrained from voting
because he was not fully satisfied
with his party's policy. He was a
faithful member of the Methodist
cburch and has filled the offices of
Steward, Class -leader, Society Repre-
sentative and Treasurer. A few years
ago when there was no religious ser-
vices in Henfryn, Mr. Cbambers sug-
gested to Mr. Mason that they start a
S. S. there. They did so and Mr.
Mason acting as Superintendent and
Mr. Chambers as Bible Class teacher,
worked up a splendid S. S. and they
were well pleased when Rev. Mr.
Westgate, the Anglican clergyman
Atwood, consented to preach in Hen-
fryn and take over the S. S. work.
On Saturday afternoon the Methodist
church at Ethel was crowded, during
the funeral service. The pastor, Rev.
I. A. McKelvey, spoke in high terms
of the noble Christian character of
the deceased. Ohoir sang an appro-
priate anthem, Mrs. Irwin Raynard
taking the solo part. Interment took
place at Mt. Pleasant cemetery at
Ethel. Relatives from a distance
were :-Mist. Sutton, Wingham ; Levi,

in Melville Church
Beg. Sr, Sheerer in the Pulpit,
Last Sabbath the program of ser-
vices mapped out was continued in
Melville church and were of a most in-
teresting character. Rev. Dr. Shear-
er, or Toronto, was the preacher and
gave two strong, well directed dis-
courses. Morning text was Phil. 8:13 -
and 14, Forgetting those things
which are behind and reaching forth
unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high ceiling of God in Ohrist
Jesus." The snbject was considered
under three division :-(1) The at-
titude to the past ; (2) The itttitude to
the future ; (8) The attitude of all to
sacrificial service. It was a helpful
practical sermon. The choir did their
part well, Miss Bethel Kerr singing
the solo in the anthem very nicely.
Rev. Mr. Mann assisted in the service.
At the rally of the young -people in
the afternoon Rev. Dr. Shearer gave
an interesting address along the line
of "Conditions of Success." His
points were as follows :-(1) The
choice of Jesus ;• (2)Training for
Christian service ; (3)laking regular
food from the Bible ; (4) Exercise ;
(5) Fresh air ; (6) Whole hearted in
the service. Anthem was sung by the
young people's choir. Pastor Mann
occupied the chair.
In the evening Rev. Mr. McCulloch,
Oranbrook, and Rev. Mr. Page, St.
John's churph, Brussels, aided the
pastor in the•introductory part of the
service. A choir of 25 voices was
present. Lorne Eekmier and Lawson
Wright sang the verses of "There's
some One you can go to" in good form
the choir joining in the chorus. Mrs.
S. 0. Wilson took the obligate in
"Now the day is over" in good voice.
Dr. Shearers address was on his
special work of Social service and
evangelism and was based on Matt.
25 and 45, "Verily I say unto you, in-
asmuch as ye did it not unto one
of the least of these, ye did
it not to Me." He dealt with the
Liquor traffic, profane and immoral
talk, graft, the immigration problem
and the social evil. With illustration
and personal experience the subject
was made very real and was closely
applied in the application of the
church's mission to the work. Hot
shot was fired at the laggards and the
refugees to help. Speaker was opti-
mistic in the- arousal of the social
conscience, the ministry of mercy to
the victimized and urged the audience
to heed the Master's bidding, "Ye did
it unto Me." Dr. Shearer is evidently
the right man in the right place in the
position he holds,
Financially the day was a successful
one and the Treasurer had the satis-
faction of stating that the offering for
the two Sabbaths totalled $1150 and
the tea meeting $402.00, making the
very satisfactory receipts of $1652.
Pastor, officials and the congrega-
tion generally are to be congratulated
on the auspicious opening of the new
edifice and by a spirit of unity, con-
stancy and endeavor abundant success
should attend them in the coming
years.
CHURCH CHIMES.
Regular routine of services will be
followed next Sabbath with the
pastor in the pulpit.
Seats will not be allotted in the new
edifice for a few weeks yet and in the
meantime the best plan of adjusting
the congregation is being studied.
A number of generous subscriptions
were sent by former members of the
congregation toward the Building
Fund, which were much appreciated.
In the item in last weeks POST re-
ferring to the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society it stated Mrs. Robert
McCallum was Treasurer. It should
have been Mrs. Robert Malcolm, now
of Galt.
Quite a number of the Jubilee
Souvenir Booklets are still to be had.
It:would make a nice reminder of the
occasion to an absent relative or friend
or as a souvenir of the new church
opening to the home folk.
The Garniss cement culvert was
