gospel of Christ, that of love and
helpfulness and brotherliness, was
the only force that would.end the
war and bring about the end now
sought after, that of a continued
world 'peace. Mi'. Arnup has a world
vision and his address was a -chal-
lenge to Chirstians to do their best
ate spread their gospel throughout

FRIDAY'S MEEETING,
The town hall iJes' 'Comfortably
filled on Friday .evening last to hear
Mr. Thos. McMillan, Liberal candi-
date in South Huron, and Mr. James
Murdock, a former member of the
Board of Commerce and now Liberal
candidate in South Toronto.
Dr. Shaw. occupied the chair and
associated with hint on the plat-
form, in addition to thee speakers of
the' evening, were:' Dr. Gunn, J. L.
Kerr, H. Wiltse and W, H. Kerr of
Brussels and W. H. Robinson 'of
Goderich t
Mr. McMillan was the first speak_
er and was introduced by the chair-
man in flattering terms. He began
by congratulating the women on the
fact that for the first time they could
in this election exercise their fran-
chise on" the same terms as 'Wren.
He criticised the Government se-
verely for extravagance, citing as:
examples the taking over of 'tine rail-
ways and the building of a merchant
marine, when the. country had such
a huge debt. He said he was' much
,in favor of giving the returned sol-
dier every consideration and .intimat-
ed that if he were returned to Par-
liament he would see that they had
it. He, however, spent a great deal
of his time in ,explaining his posi-
tion with regard to, the U. F. 0.
He was not in favor of the farmers
going into politics; thought it was a
great mistake. But he said it was
explained to hinn that it was nece5-
sa"y, as there were a great many Con-
s'efva'tives who were tired of their
party and as they would not vete for
Liberal principles under, the- Dame
of Liberal they had to be camou-
flaged somewhat. He did not think
that that was necessary and gave the,
impression 'bhat Ise was at "outs"
with the U. F, 0. 'I n this question,
Mr. Murdock, who is a ,deliberate
and forceful speaker, raised the
Government "foie and, aft" and, in
the 'opinion of a number of Liberals
who sat in the vicinity of Tine. News -
Record, didn'•t leave it a -leg to stand.

as "The Autocrats. of Canada," but
he didn't findanything yt a to'

accuse him of, except that he would
penes rn car'r'ying on a work of.
the Government, He criticised the
taking over and tire managenent• of
the Canadian National Railways and,
the formation and the work of the.
Merchant Marine but he dict not say
what the Government should have
done in either ease, .He told of his
call to the Board of Commerce and
accused Hon. Mr. Doherty, Hon. Mr.
Ballantyne and Sir George E. Fos-
ter of fustr.uting the work it might,
leave accomplished, He accused the
Government of being "under the
thumb" of the "Big interests" and
intimated that if the Liberals were
returned to power everybody would
gel; his jest due and the country
would prosper. He made a strong
bid, before coficluding, for he feu-
h16/"S' vote, pointing out that evo'y-
tliing they were asking for would be
granted by a. Libervtl Government.

`the fire alarm, and ,spend strength
and skill and courage in saving the
property of the citizens from loss
and harm; took it into their heads
to put on a• concert on Tuesday ev-
ening. The idea is to raise money
to purchase themselves uniforms,
for,be it understood, there is no
organization worth 'is salt but is
proud of its organization and wants
to have seine mark of distinction.
So this concert was put on and peo-
ple were asked to cone out and pat-
ronize it and thus put something in-
to thecoffers of the FtIremen. The
house was not as full as is should
have been in such a case, although
there was a fairly good attendance.
The program was varied and en-
tertaining. The Phalen's Orchestra
had charge of the musical part of it
and the selections given were much
appreciated ' and enjoyed. Master
Dorland Glazier, son of the fire chief,
was the -first soloist and he was

turn number, Master Dorian(' is one

soloists were Miss Agnes Cullis, so-
prano, and Miss Grace Tremaine,
contralto, of Stratford, .who sang
alone a 'couple of times each and al-
so sang a duet, very sweetly, arid
Messrs. Chas. Cook and Bert Pot-
ter of Clinton, who were eachwell
received and responded to encores,
Messrs. E. and C. Cook put on an
amusing little comedy, Mr. E. Cook
did the "Highland Fling" which
made everybody laugh, Miss Smith
of the C.O.I. staff' gave a couple of
dances, Mr. M. Agnew -gave' a cornet
solo`and altogether the program was
of a''varied and entertaining nature.

"I.suggest, too," Mr. O'Connor
asserted, "that it would rot
have been well for the member
of the Governnsent who had at-
tempted to do it, for I wpuld
have denounced . hint instantly,
