MAJOR J. R. TOWNSHEND
The body o y of Mayor J. R. Town-
shend, Royal Canadian Artillery, Fort
Frances, Ontario, was' washed ashore
last week at Tathin Island, of
North Antrin, Ireland. It was taken
to Ballycastle for burial.
Major Townshend, who was 38
years old, was. listed as missing and
believed drowned after a ship was tor-
pedoed in the Atlantic at midnight,
April 30th,
Mr. Townshend was well known in
this community. He spent his boy-
hood in Goderich Township and was
the son of the late Albert Townshend
and Hanna (Scotchnere) Townshend:
Ile attended, the Summerhill Pablie
School and at the Clinton Collegiate
Institute he distinguished' himself as
abrilliant student. He won the Allan
Memorial Scholarship at 0,0.I. which
entitled him to a year's tutition at
Queen's University, 'and from which
he graduated. in. the Honor Science
Course. After atttending O.C.E. he
entered the Teaching Profession, and
held positions in Collegiate Institutes
at Ottawa, Hamilton, Port Arthur
and Fort Frances, when he was
Science Master and Principal.
His wife was the former Mabel
Crich of Tuckersmith township and
there are four children, John, Pat-
ricia, Robert and Roderick, who now
live in London with the deceased's
blether, Canon W. A. Townshend.
There survive three brothers; Ernest
A. Townshend of Goderich township;
Canon W. A. Townshend of London,
finance commissioner for the Diocese
of Huron; and Alvin Townshend of
Toronto.
Major Townshend apparently had a
strong premontion of death. While
aboard the shipwhich was later tor-
pedoed, he wrote' to Canon Towns-
hend, asking that if anything' should
bkppen to him, that his wife and
children be moved to London. The
letter was taken off the ship at New-
foundland,_ Three hours after Canon
Townshend opened it, . hegot the
first cablegram airnouneing his broth-
er was missing at sea.
Major Townshend was an active
member of the Kiwanis Club in Fort
Frances. Highlights of an address
Canon W. A. Townshend gave at
this Club were two shogt poems
found among his brother's most
clhe[islhed personal possessions which
he felt must truly typify the life of
his brother. On one of tientthe
former " Fort Frances high . school
principal had penned these wdrds,
"A Good Man's Ideal." It read as
follows::
One who never turned his back but
Marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break,
Never dreamed though right were
worsted
That wrong• would triumph.
Held, we fall 1'o rise, are baffled to.
fight better,
Sleep to wake."
These were the words of Brown-
ing,
The other poem was entitled "What
I Live For." and read as follows;
"I` live for those who love me
Whose hearts. are kind and true,
For heaven that smiles above me
And awaits my spirit too,
For the human ties that bind me
For the task by God assigned me,.
For the bright hopes left behind ine,.
Anti the good that'I can do.

Anniversary Services were held in
ilnox Presbyterian church on Sunday
last. The Pastor, Rev. B, P. Andrew,
conducted the services and Rev. Wm.
Weir of Hensall delivered forceful
and inspiring •addresses. In the
morning he took for his text, 1
Sam., 4, verse 3: "And -when the peo-
ple were come into the • camp, the
elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath
the Lord smitten its today before the
Philistnes?'Let us fetch the Arch of
the Covenant of the Lord out of the
hand of our enemies." In reading
the Bible as we would modern liter-
ature, the message we find through
it is the Eternal love 'of'" God. The
present clay struggle, be pointed out,
is somuchlike the events is the
time of David and Saul. The state
of religion was deporable in the time
of the First 'Book of Samuel, Israel
at war with the Philistines, suffer-
ing heavy losses;;'reaiized God was
not with thein, They brought the
Ark into' their midst forcing God to
be on their side. The outcome was
diSas'trous. The sequel comes many
years after Samuel preaches: and the
Israelites turned to God,. repentant.
"We can't conscript God to be on: our
side. Because our cause is right, does
not make our nation or ourselves
righteous." He feared' that the bat-
tle against sin is being lost sight of
in the interest of war against Ger-
many, Our way has been away from
God, from a sense of sin, and is the
eause,of the present war. Samuel
preached "Turn to the Lord with all
your hearts and he. will deliver -us
from our enemies". He ended with' a
strong appeal for repentance. "Az
a congregation we remember God's
goodness. If we return to God as
Samuel :said and serve Him only, trod
will give us the gift of Eternal Life,"
Special music was: a nolo by Miss
Laura "Peter,-n"•B1ess us' O Lord;" a
duet, "Beautiful Land on High," by
Misses Peter and McKellar; and a
solo, "The Prayer Perfect,"' by .Miss
Grace McKellar. Mrs. James Fergus-
on' presided; at -the organ.
At the evening service, Mr. Weir
based his remarks on Genesis, °Chapt-
er, 50, verse 20: "But as for you, ye
thought evil against ane; but God
meant it unto good, to bring to pass,
as it is this day, to save much people
alive." He traced the evil whieh,be-
fell Joseph at the hands of his breth-
ren and the good that had. resulted
thereof. He applied the same to the
time of Alexander the Great and
pointed out how God had turned -the
evil and destruction of the times to
the ultimate good of mankind. And
in our time all the horror' and suffer -
nig which has been brought about by
the veil plans of Dictators will be
used of God for ultimate good. "Ev-
ery widow's tear will be remembered
by God.". "All things work together
far .g good to him that beIievetli-that
is our faith." He closed with a
challenge to our faith. "We in Can-
ada have not suffered. Income Tax
and gasolineless Sundays are not
hardships. It is easy for us to have
faith here." He adjured his hearers
to think well 'if their faith were
strong enough to sustain them if
their homes were pillaged and their
loved ones persecuted as in Poland
and other occupied countries. The
Hensall Quartette (Rev. W. Weir,
Miss Irene Hoggarth, Miss Mabel
Woi•lcman and Mr. W. A. McLaren)
accompanied by Mrs. Malcolm. Doug-
all sang, "God is a Spirit," and Mr.
McLaren and Mrs. Dougall sang a
very pleasing' duet.
This was the tenth Anniversary of
the building of Knox ehurch and a
very happy occasion for the members
of the congregation since the special
offerings, amounted to over two hun-
dred dollars, cleared off the debt,
V
Huron County Council
Picnic
The members of the Huron Comity
Council along with their families and
friends spent a pleasant afternoon in
Harbour Park, Goderich, 'last Wed-
nesday, when the annual picnic was

entation.

bility in the war, and urged them to

Owen Geiger of Iiensall a former
county councilor for twelve years,
warned that careful financing is nee-
essar•ty. Ex -Wardens Haacke of God-
erich township and George Feagan
of Colborne, were glad to see the
county out of debt. J. 31. Eckert of
McKillip, a former warden, expressed
pride in the record of the county. Ten
years ago the County debt was
$210,000otoday today the county is free of
deht. Another ex -warden, R. J. Bow -
Limn of Brussels, declared the county
council is trying to keep clear of debt,
but he warned the members not to
allow .county buildings' to fall into dis-
repair. Other sneakers were Ex -
Wardens, Alex Young of Colborne,
and Beavers of Hensall; Reeves W. H.
Morritt of Blyth aixl Fred Watson
of Stanley; Ms, J. J, Jacobs and Mrs
P. R. Reddltt.
