In the first period Clinton team had a monopoly of the sooting, three goals being booked to their credit before the half time whistle 'blew. Stirling, Cook and Sims made the counters for the home team. In the second period the snow was pretty well packed and did not give as much trouble though . the field was, if anything, more slippery, The visitors -had the best of the play in this period and accounted for the on- ly goal scored in the last half. Credit for this counter goes to Elliott of the Lakeside team. When the re- feree's whistle blew for full time the score stood 3-1 in favor of the home team: The line-up was as follows: Goderich—Goal, J, Johnston; full backs, J..Kneeshaw, J. Taylor; half backsk H.Cook; L. Crawford, wford, S. Wal- ter; £onwards, J, McKay, R. Erring- ton, V. Elliott, E. Elliott, P, Page, Clinton—Goal, K. Pickett; full- backs, L. Stock, F. Weston; Half- backs, D. Smith, B. 1taiddleton, J. Armstrong; forwards, J. Stirling, R. Carter, E. Campbell, S. Cook, • J. Sims. Referee—Hill, ARMISTICE DAY SERVICE A special Armistice day service was he in Wesley -Willis United church on Sunday morning, when the local Great War veterans attended in a body. The Kiltie band, in uni- form; accompanied the veterans and the centre pews were reserved for the use of the veterans and band. The service was in charge of the minister, Rev. J. E. Hogg, who Preached a most appropriate sermon, which was highly appreciated. Rev. A. A. Holmes led in prayer. Mrs. Morgan Agnew, the organist, presid- ed at the organ ani the chair ren- dered an anthem and a male quar- tette, consisting of Messrs. W. Kutch, Sr„ W. Match, Jr., W. Wal- lis and P. Livermore contributed a, selection. At• the close of the ser- mon' the memorial tablet was decor- ated by, G. W. Cook and Morgan Agnew sounded the Last Post and, after two minutes' silence, the Re- veille, the congregation standing. Rev. Mr. Hogg took as his theme the story of Elijah and his .victory. over the prophets, of Baal and Eli- jah's subsequent despondency. But God showed him that there was work for him to do and encouraged him to throw off his despondency and go about that work. He liken- ed the depression following the Great War to the depression felt by the ancient prophet. He thought the nations of the world Were today something like Elijah, "under the juniper. tree." There was need to be up and doing. The talk of coming war had for many a depressing ef- fect, but all should be alert in the cause of peace, He urged those who call in question the efficiency of the League of Nations to ask themselves what a ternative we have. Hecon- sidered that the British Empire reg presents some such an organization as the League' of Nations' is'eftdeays curing to perfect, demonstrating, as it does, the greatest brotherhood of nations the world has ever known and also its readiness to assist in building up a brotherhood of all na- tions of the world. It was a thougthful discourse and was listened to with earnest atten- tion' by all present.: , A MOTHER DIE'S THE HOME PAPER • Ma s•.
