The Seaforth News, 1933-11-30, Page 1Life is but a day at most, •
Sprung from night,in darkness lost,
Hope not sunshine every hour,
Fear hot clouds will always lour.,
Happiness is but a name,
Make content and ease thy aim;
.Ambition is a meteor gleam,
Fame, an idle, restless dream;
Peace the tenderest flower of spring;.

Pleasures, insects on the wing;
Keep the name of 'man in: mind,
And dishonour not thy kind.
Reverence, with lowly heart,
Him whose wondrous work thou art;
Keep his goodness still in view,
Thy trust and thy example too.

tions for pre. In your paper last 'week,

W. D. STEWART
Sincere regret was experienced
when it became known that Mr, W.
D. Stewart passed away at St. Paul,
Minnesota, aged'63 years. Deceased
was a son of the late Alexander Ste-
wart of Seaforth, and was born in
this town, During .the years he has
been a frequent visitor here and al
way took a keen interest in the bawl-
ing and curling clubs here. He is
survived by two brothers, Robert
Stewart of Seattle and J. A, Stewart
of" Seaforth. The Srty,Paul paper says:
IW. D. Stewart, director of the state
game and fish department, died at
1':35 pian Friday in St. Joseph's hos-
pital
He was taken ill in Chicago two
weeks ago and When brought to St.
IPattl was found to be suffering from
amoebic dysentery, the disease which
Inas reached an epidemic stage in
Chicago,
For the past two days he was kept
in an oxygen tent as a lung conges-
tion was added to his ailments.
As state game and fish 'dommis-
sioner Mr. Stewart twice was subject
to attack, by associates and on both
occasions he was exonerated.
IOn April 8, 1933, W. T. 'Cox, sus-
pended conservation coneneissio n er,
charged that llir. Stewart was guilty
of bad judgment and lacked a knowl-
edge of wild 'life
John R. Foley, Wa'bas'ha, chairman
of the conservation committee, later
characterized these , charges as false,
but a few months later demanded re-
signation of Mr. Stewart and his
chief deputy, Louis Enstrom.
This argument also evas settled
peaceably after a meeting of the con-
servation commission, and lir. Foley
withdrew his request for the resigna-
tions.
Mr. Stewart, although a lifeJlong
'Republican, was named game and fish
commissioner by Farmer L'abor Gov.
Olson, Jan. 7, 103i1. He was a long
standing friend of the governor. He
had been in business in St. Paul for
40' years and at the time of his ap-
pointment was president of the St.
Paul Builders' Material, Co.
IBorti in Seaforth, Ont„ in 1870, he
attended Toronto University. In 1890
he came to St. Paul and was account-
ant for the St, .Paul Lime and Cement
Co. In 191'3 he consolidated various
builders' supplies companies into the
St. Paul Builders' -Material Co. and
was president of the company until
his appointment as state game .and
fish commissioner.
Mr. Stewart was a sportsman of
long standing. He was a member of
St. Paul's' Curling club and was at
one time its president. I -Is was ac-
tive in the support of various out-
door sports and maintained a fish-
ing lodge on Gull Lake near Brain-
erd. The lodge was a favorite haunt
of Ger. Olson following ' strenuous
political campaigns and on 'vacation
periods,
Mr. Stewart lived at 114110 Summit
ave. and was a member of the Town
and Country and Athletic Clubs.
He was a president of the St. Pau]
Rotary club, a member of Minnesota
and Athletic clubs, and was a ' 32.nd
degree Mason and Shriner. He was a
member of House of Hope Presby-
terian church.
Survivors are two daughters, Mrs.
Platt B. Walker Jr., and Mrs. Themas
W. Walsh and four grandsons.
Editor !Seaforth News.
Dear Sir, -rite following are only
a few disconnected thoughts front an
interesting and instructive sermon by
the pastor' Rev. W. P. Lane, in North
Side United Church on 1Sunday last,
Ibis text was taken from 11'5th verse of
,Second Timothy, third chapter: "Anti
that 'froni'a child thott hast.kno'wn the
Holy Scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ 'Jesus." The
thence was developed from the clause,
"Which are able to imake;thee wise
unto salvation." The 'Book of, Books is
the !Bible. No other book in the world
contains the 'information given in the
!Bible, as "'all Scripture is given by
inspiration of 'God, and is prolftable
for dootrine,.for reproof, for correc-
tion, for instruction in righteousness:
that the Man of God may be -perfect."
The 'Bible develops the soul as well
as the mind and 'body. No other 'book
can restore the soul—can convert,and
redeem the soul'...., .the thirsty soul
longs for re'fres'hing, 'Blit the `IScrip-
tures are abie to make thee wise unto
saivaltion. W'ltat'a loss .humanity suf-
fers'in the world for the want of 'wis-
dom. This nonsensical, irrational, ab-
surd foolishness has pl1tinged the
people in poverty andsin; but the
want of wisdom goes, beyond material
things. This 'foolishness also affects
.the salvation of the soul. The want of
wisdom has caused an inuntense loss''of
energy. Much of the work expended' in
the world is used in restoring loss of
some kind, o1 damage done by fool-
ishness. What energy, what power
is required' to undo this sil'liness. The
Bible tells' us we gelt our wisdom from
+God through the 1Seriptures. "ALL
Scripture is given'by 'inspiration of
Goll." We get our ,wisdom, our pru-
dence, our foresight, our sagacity
from the Scriptures.
The reading of the !Scriptures gre-
y ents
revents us harboring the beliefs and,
doctrines,Many people read doctrines
into the Bible Which are not there at
ail. The Bible Societies are doing an
invlaluable service to ntanieind in dis-
seininatut.g ,Ole (Book of .Boobs to aid
peoples throughout the world.

IWEILAND GOES TO DETROIT
The Detroit Times says:
Ralph. (Cooney) Weiland, who
comes to the Red Wings from Ottawa
in a deal which sends Carl Voss to
the 'Senators, is dire to report to the
Detroit Hockey Club Tuesday.

$3,1500 in cash along with Voss, ac-
cording to announcement made by

'Red Wings' lineup, makes Cooney's
conduct all the more impressive since
the 'Detroit veteran is : one of the
cleanest players in : hockey. (Lewis
spent 71459 Minutes in the cooler over
the same stretch of years.
VVeiland's greatest achievement, of
course, was his amazing scoring with
Boston in 1929-30 when he piled up
the tremendous total of 73 points with
43 go'als and 30 assists. Cooney's fine
playnraking made the Boston line,
