IS IT COMING?
the, natter of .bringing Alberta
coal to Goderich by boat and from
there'distributing it throughout Ont-
ario is being discussed. It has been
estimated ' that coal could be laid
down at Goderieh at 1 0.00or , t
w1 .2.00
$$
per ton. The; . time has come when.
omething must be done to `provide
Ontario with .winter fuel. We cannot
go on" depending -upon the United
States, for ,while =the'y ship coal to.
Canada many of their own people .suf
fer for lack of .it, ,we nttist develope
our own coal mines. ° This would also
be good,busiizess on onto part. It would
keep in'>Oas ada a vast sum of money
which now goes into the "United
States; it Would help the west pay,
for mnnufatcured goods bought fir
the east; it would keep workmen busy
in the Alberta mines; it. would melee
work ford our National' railways, haul-
age foe the steamboats and prosper-
hy„for the,eountry generally, all a-
side from the main fact that it would
supply °peel° witls fuel against the
winter's stormy blas. Householders
in Clinton paid anywhere from. 51500
to.519.00 per ton•for coal during the
past season and were n'gt sero where
the next ton, or half jon, was. cora-
from. If we could be sure,, of an un-
limited supply at Goderiih .at from
$10.00 to $:42.00 per ton of good teal
it 'would solve our fuel problem for

the Dramatic Sooiety of St. Pant's
church presented the 'play, "Daddy

The play is written by Jean Web-
ster, the authoress of.thelook of the
sante name and follows the story
closely.
•The,first scene is laid in the "John
Greif Home" on "Vi$itbn s Daj+" with
the, hard tryannnical Mrs. Lippet,
the "Trustees" the frightened •little
orphans and the clever aiid unusual
"Educated orphan," Judy, who later
gets her chance and lean ,to college,

admired, were so -natural and
spontaneous. This was especially true
of Iittle Eva Ramras, whose part was
not, in the play at all but who just
came and did as she liked
;77h's young people all did:bcautifnlly`
and it doesn't wens fair to single any
one out. Miss - Barry Combe as

1. 0. 0. F. AT CHURCH PARADE
On Sunday evening Su da : the members of
the local I, 0. 0, Fe attended church
parade to Wesley church,' when the
pastor, the- Rey,• D, N.-McGamus,
preached. an appropriate sermon. The
pastor, on behalf of the congregation
warml y ° e.vOrganization•to
the Service. He tools as his text the
words found in the epistle' of James:
"Pure” religion and undefiled before
God the Father is this, that ye vis-
it the widow, and the fatherless in.
their affliction and keep ; yourselves
unspotted from the world," A relig-
ion implies a belief j.n God, the speak-
er said, and regulattes 'one's relations
with Ilim, while morality regulates
one's religion; >with one's fellowmen"
It was a signifiant fact, he said, that
neither Christ nor his apostles defined
religion; this passage su James Was
the `' nearest to . a ° definition to be
found in the Bible..
Ile said that it was also significant
that while the Christian religion held
that the chief end of man was God
that its exercise had to do, chiefly,
with the relations of man -with man.
Religious sacraments, forms and cer-
emonies, while important,: were push-
ed ,into the background and one's.
dealing's with one's fellowmen were
the measure of one's religion. He
said that many people would be wil-
ling to follow one, too, as far as the
middle of his text tut 'would shy
off from the` hitter part. This he,
said,, would not .do. To-: be a true
.Christians one :had not only to show
oneself charitable, and helpful to those
in need of help, but also. follow humb-
ly and'faithfull •the will of God rind
y
abstain from those things displeasing
to hits. He :commended the organiza-
tion before hint for their charity and
urged upon thein the following out
of the fulI text.
There was a good turnout of the
members and a number: •of visitors
from neighboring lodges.
