Says Child Normal
Crown Attorney D. E. Holmes out-
lined the case to the jury and said
the child, a normal and well-nourished
gill, was born on or about May 6.
On May 25 the child was found dead
in a crib and MTS. Rose was found
sitting on a park- bench at Light-
house Point, Goderich.
Dr. John Wallace, Goderich, said
he was called to the Rose apartment
and found the baby lying on her back
in a erib, covered to the chin. She had
been dead for about three hours, he
estimated. Under cross-examination
by F. R. Darrow, defence damsel, he
said it was possible for a baby to
smother itself. There were no marks
of violence, he testified.
Coroner Dr. W. P. Grallow said there
did not appear to be any violent cause
of death. Dr. John H. Fisher, London
pathologist, said death was apparently
due to ,asphyxia, and said death could
have been caused by pressinga soft
material such as the entail niece of
cloth, shoW71 by Crown Atterney
Holmes, overa baby's nose.
"I see no explanation for death by
natural causes," he said. "My opinion
is that death was due to asphyxia-
tion."

HARVEST SERVICES
OF THANKSGIVING
IN ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Harvest Thanksgiving services were
held in St. Paul's Anglican Church
Clinton, Sunday morning and evening
with Rev. J. II. L. Henderson, Blyth
being the speaker at the morning
service and Squadron Leader T. Dale
Jellies, chaplain of Clinton R. and C
S., preaching the sermon at the even-
ing service.
Special music was rendered by the
choir directed- by :Mrs. J. G. Mac
Kinnon, and large crowds attended
Both Wesley -Willis United and On-
tario St. United evening services
were withdrawn. The rector, Rev. R.
M. P. 13ulteel, was in charge.
S/L Jones took his text from
Matthew 13:30: "Let both grow to-
gether until the harvest: and in the
time of harvest I will say to the
reapers, Gnther ye together first the
bares. and bind them in bundles to
burn them: but gather the wheat into
my been."
The speaker said it was his first
experience in Eastern Canada at har-
vest time. It was one of the pret-
tiest part of Canada, blessed with one
of the most bountiful crops of all
times.
Discussing "the harvest of life" it-
self, S/L -Tones dealt with the law of
grosvfet, the law of aseociation, and
She law of eetributien.
Our life is never static; we're grow-
ing all the time, he contended. "Is
your growth a positive one or a back-
ward one?" he asked.
No one can grow alone; if you live
alone you become introspective. The
law of association must have full play.
The peace conference was going to
break down unless there was a feel-
ing of cooperation.
The law of eeteUttion would work,
too. There is a'soeteng time and a
reaping time. "Be careful of the seeds
we sow," he advised.
