The Huron Expositor, 1930-05-16, Page 41'7 19 PORTS', Friday, May 16th, 1930. POLITICAL SPEECHES The Brantford Expositor says the political speeches have been banned in Spain, and before the approaching fight is over a similar measure 'will be earnestly desired in Canada. There is, no doubt, a good deal of truth in the above statement. To many people listening to a 'political speech is considered a waste of time, if not an actual ordeal. In the minds of these pebple there are so many things of so much greater interest that a political speech is looked upon as something that must be borne, a necessary evil as it were. Yet there was a day when a politi- cal speech stood out in the life of a community as something next only to the Sunday sermon. To be antici- pated,,.to be heard and to be ponder- ed over and finally to be approved or condemned only after mature thought. But there was less• in the way of entertainment in those days.. N. phones or rural mail; no radios; no cars and much less to read. Men's thoughts were on more serious things itd the government of the country was one of the most serious of these. To -day the average man knows lit- tle about politics and cares less. He doesh't read about them, nor discus them. He is willing to take soin one ekes word for it that the Gov- ernment is good, or that the Govern rent is bad. Politics has become a personal thing with him. He will vote for the man he likes best, or the one who will promise hint the most. When times are good he does noth- ing, says nothing and cares nothing about the rulers of the country. And, when times are bad, markets are poor and money scarce, he takes the word of the first professional a politician that comes along, that the ' Govern- ment, and the Government aline, is to 'blame. He forgets that the people, he among them, control the Government ere the Government. That when the money of the country is being spent with a lavish hand, extravagance is rife and taxes are burdensome, it is the fault of the people as much or more than the fault of the Govern- ment. It would be a good thing for the country if people would get back into the habit of thinking about politics and taking an active interest in theca, for, after all, Governments are only the paid managers of the people's business and if people do not take an intelligent interest in their own busi- ness, haw long do they expect that 'business to keep running successfully and pay dividends. Not all political speeches are good, not all are bad, the average perhaps are a mixture of both, but in all of them there is a message that should be of interest to every taxpayer and one of the surest ways of getting that message is a personal attendance at the place where it is delivered and that is the political meeting. money when it is due or any other time, does not seem to enter into their calculations at all. It is not an honest nor a healthy state of affairs, but, nevertheless, it is quite a common one with many people to -day. rs ------------ VARNA Notes. --What might have been a very serious accident happened re- cently while Mrs. A.

Ask the merchant, the man who holds a mortgage, or If note, or even a banker what he thinks about it We know that if you ask any weekly paper in Huron or any other county in Ontario they would tell you that the excuses given in that paragraph would appear valid indeed, compared with many they get in response to overdue subscription accounts.

Mothers' Day.—Mothers' Day was observed in our Meal churches on Sunday morning and evening last. At the United Church Sunday school a rally day service was held' and a spe- cial programme taken from leaflets. A large attendance of scholars was present. The choir at both services was composed of about 37 young peo- ple who did their part wonderfully well under the training of Mr. Good- win, with Miss Fisher as organist, rendering, in addition to hymns, a couple of fine 'anthems' at both ser- vices. Rev. Sinclair dealt in his sermons on the morning service tak- ing for his subject, "Mather," taking his 'subject from the last chapter of the book of Proverbs, where the ideal women is outlined and dwelling upon the wonderful influence of Mother for good in the upbringing of children, as it was with her they learn their earliest lessons in childhood, and well the children could rise up and call them "blessed" and their husbands would also praise them as in the Scripture lesson referred to. At the evening service the the reverened gentleman took for his subject, "Father," and connected with that part of the word of God where it is mentioned where the father, whose child was seriously distressed with a certain form of illness that the doc- tors could not cure, took him to Jesus, imploring his healing upon his son which was answered to his prayer on bended knee. The pastor enlarged upon the faith of the Father and his great interest in and love for his Son and how fathers should not only send their children to the service of God in the Sunday school and church, but should go with them when they have the opportunity and privilege cf do- ing so, and that the care of the chil- dren should not all depend upon the mother. A Baptismal service was the first in order of the services, and the church was !beautifully decorated with ferns and flowers. —At Carmel PreSbyterian Church the services both morning and even- ing were well attended and excellent sermons delivered by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Mcilroy. The subject at the morning service was "The Mother Heart' •of the World,"the eve and In ring, "Uniting with the Church,' and both sermons were well delivered and bristled with good thoughts and ad- vice, and the great profit and wise step in uniting with the church was stressed by the pastor. The choir, both morning and evening, was that of a mothers' choir, under the able training and leadership of MT. Wm. A. McLaren, the leader of the church choir, and the anthems, as well as the hymns, all appropriate to the oc- casion:, were well chosen and render- ed. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be observed on the com- ing Sunday, May 18th, and the pre- paratory service on the Friday even- ing preceding. —In St, Paul's Anglican Church the services were well attended, good ser- mons being delivered by the reotor, the Rev, M.

Clarence Down, Exeter, as the kings attendant, and Mian' Rita Rowe, as the Que'en's attendant, while the large church choir rendered fine music and carried out with the principals many of the pretty and Interesting aets connected with what may be termed the ni'ueical ;play, of "Tire '6'ypsy Queen."
