MEETING OF PRESBYTERY.
The Presbytery of Huron held a
special meeting in Willis church on
\ve,lnesday of last week for a con-
ference with the• Rev', Dr. Berridge,
the Moderator of the General As-
senibly, and Rev. Dr. A. S. Grant,
General. Superintendent of Iloine Mis-
sions'in the Presbyterian Church' of
Canada. All ;the members of Presby-
tery except two were present. After
hearing the stirring address by Dr.
Grant on the Missionary Budget for
1.915 the Presbytery'unaninously ac-
cepted the budget apportionment of
$24,000 and discussed ways and
means of raising this sunt. All the
church societies will bo given an op-
portunity of contributing by special
envelopes suitable for adults,'poung
people .and Sunday schools. The
name of Rev. F. C. harper was add-
ed to the Presbytery's committee of
Religious Education.
A public meeting was held the sante
cunning in the church auditorium un-
der the 'auspices of the Presbytery
and was largely attended by the con-
gregations of the Presbytery and a
number of visitors. The address of
the evening was given by Rev. Dr.
Berridge. In the strong, well chos-
en words of one well capable of
forming a ,palm and reasonable judg-
ment ofpresent conditions, Dr. Her -
ridge referred to the danger of the
]usury of living in this clay as tend- t
ing to cause degeneracy of soul: The
only safeguard, be said, was in the
old, pure truth of self-sacrifice ' and
service. The European war made im-
perative, demands upon the patriot- t
ism, of Canadian youth and age, to
go to the front and fight for the flag
and to r.ematin at home and care for
those who were dependent upon the
absent volunteers ,for their suseen
ante. 'Plie Church of Christ was nat-
urally the leader in such patriotism
and must do her part with tient
on-
dttraece unto the end. But it is only
a para of her work and warlare.
Against the deeply entrenched forces
of evil, however firmly defended by
heathen superstition, and ignorance ot
by the narrow self-interest of the
individual, she must wage unceasing
battle, While we do readily ,what we
can for the flag with ,the. spur of
patriotism, we must not he Wanting
yin our loyalty and missionary zeal to
our great King acid Head,, , Jesus
Christ.

where he and his bride ane now com-
fortably settled.
The many friends of, the bride in
Clinton and surrounding country
hearblly join in good wishes for their.

FIELD AND FLAG DAY.
Ideal weather attended the C.C.I.
annual yield Day of sports; which
was also "Flag Day," on Thursday
last,
All morning Lire girls of the 0. 1,
were busy "flagging" the citizens and
few indeed were those who 'were
missed. Anyone appealing on the
street without a flag attached to the
coat lapel was marked as lawful
prey and some bright -faced school
girl immediately ''got after" him.
The gross proceeds of the sale of
flags amounted to $115.
At one o'clock, the procession loan-
ed at tee C. I. grounds' and marched
to the park in the following order :
The Kiltie Band, the i3ugle Band, the
Cadets, C.1. students and Public
school students, Principal Treleaven
and Mr. Dowding bringing up the
rear. Mr. Robb, cadet instructor,
acted as ntarshall or master of cert-
nonies.
The procession made quite an int-
posing showing as they marched
through town each bearing a flag
and on'reaehing the grounds sonic
narching and counter starching was
gone through by the carnets', who, by,
the way, are steadily becoming much
more efficient in their exercises, and
several lively airs were played by the
band.
There were the usual sports this
year but no prizes were awarded the
ru ils agreeing thatthe prone so
I p g c 6 a y
xpended .in former years be devoted
o the Patriotic and Relief Fund, an

The large audience listened with
rapt attention for ever an hour and
a half to the strong' and eloquent ap-
peal of the moderator and at the
close of his address Rev. A.:Macfar-
lane and Rev, J. G. Reid moved a
hearty vote of thanks, which was
carried by a standing vote, while the
minister of Willis church, Rev, Frank
C. Harper, voiced 'the appreciation
from members, of other congregations
present.
In replying to this vote so warmly
expressed Dr. Berridge spoke of the
pleasure he had 111 so sterling a con-
gregation as that of Willis and es-
pecially in, the ntinistery of Mr. Har-
per, with whom his friendship was
founded in a most sacred tie years
ago.' The people of Canada had er-
ected a monument of Sir Galahad at
Ottawa to commemorate the heroism
of Henry A. Harper, M.A,, in giving
his life in an attempt to save from
drowning Miss Bessie Blair of that
city: Both of• these young people
were ntem,bers of St. Andrew's
church, Ottawa, Dr. , Berridge ' r 'e-
ferred to the long pastorate of Rev,
Dr. Stewart` in Willis- church and ex-
pressed his ; pleasure in finding in: Dr.
Stewart's successor one who was,
giving his life to save; lives, as bis
brother, Bert Harper of. Ottawa, did
more than twelve years ago.
•The moderator of Pre5b3'tery,' 'Rev,
Geo. E. Ross of Goderich, who, pre-
sided, then adjourned the Presbytery
and the meeting was brought to a
close by the singing of the natiopal 7
anthem,

MANY COMPLIMENTS.
The Aylmer Express in its report
of church anniversary services had the
following pleasing references to two
former residents of Clinton :
"Phe organ accompaniments by Mrs.
Campbell were full of sympathy and
sustained the voices well. The spec-
ial organ solos rendered at each ser-
vice by Me. W. Glenn Campbell, or-
ganist and choir director, once more
demonstrated his power of interpre-
tation and execution as an organist
Ile is receiving many' cotnplirnente
for the high standing of proficiency to
which he has brought this choir. The
Services were the most pleasing and
suecesslul in the history of this con
j,regation,"
THE TOWN \tA'rLR IS PURE.
That the Clinton waterworks ha,s
proved a, great succces there is now
no difference of opinion. The com-
mission aimed at the 500 mark this
year and up to date 461 services have
heen installed, and if those who are
still hesitating will decide at pace
they can have their connertiorr- made

SOME C0R\T.
Squire Ransford, the "Farmer of
'l'uckersnith" plucked an ear of corn
the other days • of which he is sortte-
tvhal, proud. And, indeed, it is a re-
markable one in its way. 11 is of a
white variety, the farmin' editor is
out or he could give it lis proper
Item°, and is a particularly large and
even grained ear. It was, moreover,
plucked from a stock twelve feet high
and measuring two incites in'diamet-
er. The specimen is pretty nearly'
perfect and if Farmer Ransford's corn
field contains many such his hogs
should fare well during the coming
)winter,
Magistrate Andrews found in his
corn ea ei
t i
an r
c chic
1 a which something
t tl t
g
of a curiosity. 71 looks as if it started
out as a very large ear, changed its
mind and later' decided to mace two
of it,
good-sized ones at that and
finally, before reaching .'the point,
merged again ;into otic,' though of a
peculiar shape. It is of the yellow
dent variety and, would make two
large ears. The kernels are well for•
mod and closely cover the cob. The
Indians in this country in the early
clays had many a superstition about
any strange or unusual formation of
corncobs and no :doubt if one were
well up in Tnciian, lore an interesting
meaning could be attached to this
freak ear,
AN ILLUSTRATED. LECTURE.
Cart. F, von der wen De Visser, who
has charge of the Children's Work in
(connection with the Salvation Army
II at Toronto, anti who has recently re-
tuned front a visit to his native
land of Holland, gave an illustrated'
lecture in the 'town hall on Saturday
evening under, the auspices of the
local corps. The subject of his lec-
ture was, "The Lowlands in War and
Peace; ' His pictures of many his-
toric buildings and places in the
Netherlands werevery good, also of
its ' people and as they were thrown,
on the screen the Captain tallied in
an intimate and interesting way of
the manners, customs and character-
istics of the people who are his kin,'
and with whom he lived until a few
years ago. The pictures of many
high up iri the S. A. who ,lost tireii1
lives on the Empress of Ireland last
May, and also several excellent pic-
tures of the rulers of the European
countries now at war and the genes
als whose names are familiar as
leading the forces, etc, were also
shown: The Captain's sympathies
are, of course, entirely' with the Al-
lies, for aside from the fact that he
is now a British subject and one of
hie sons has gone to the front, the
Hollanders a
e s h vet little love [or :their
German neighbors and their auto-
cratic Kaiser. Capt, von der ven De
Visser alsoconducted the services in
the 5. A, hall -on ' Sunday, where
in the afternoon he wore his native'
costume and . exhibited many curios
rani Holland,
THE LATE JAMES IIEARN.
James L. I'Iearn, who passed into
the other world' on Monday evening
after an illness of comparatively
short duration, was a native of
Somersotshire, England, where he
was horn in 1833, He came to Can-
ada in 1856 and later, in 1862, went
to California for a time. He also
visited England but returned to
Clinton shortly and here he
made his home for about fifty-six
years. There was perhaps no better
known figure on - Clinton streets than
Janes Hearn, and he will be, missed
