WELL KNOWN LOCALLY
ColoneleAreisew W. iCrawford, who
has recently retired after thirty-nine
'years actiye .service ijn the Salvation
Arneys will be renumbered by many
of this district The story of his
career, vihkda followis below, is taken
from a recent _issue of, the War Cry,
official Salvation Airmy organ:
Nearly thirty-nine years of unibrake
en and aneritoriustservice in the ranks
o f The Salvation Army will termi-
nate in December of this year, when
Colonel Andrew W. Crawford, Chief,
Secretary of the Western Territory
during the ,past three and one-half
years, officially retires from ,active
service. His career' is one fall of
achievement for God and the Army
from its commencement as a soldier
in !Canada, and throughout his of -
fieership in the United States. His,
'the leadership in a ;thousand battles
for good "from, Atlantic to Pacific.",
While the actual retirement date
for the Colonel and his wife is one
month away, they .relinquished 'their
official duties at the Colonel's own
request to .the Commander on, Octo-.
ber 3rd,, and are now .on furlough.
Andrew W. Crawford was born on
December 2'7, 1861, of Scotch4ris!h
parentage, in the small dominion town
-of Seaforth in' -Western Ontario, Can-
ada. As is ccvmlinon with so many
mere: the begirming years .of his life
were, spent in hnmlble surroundings
among common laeoptle, where the.
massive 'store of common sense and
his great compassion for the common
people were founded,. The guiding
hand of a sainted mother was lost
early in his life, but a kind aunt did'
ber [best to .fill the great need in the
life of a motherless boy.
Word was. ipassed around one day
to the effect that sonigthing or some-
body would "open fire" on Seaforth
That was .back in the Spring of 1884.
Andrew and his associates had heard
the, news:end discussed it. They de-
cided . that if anything of the sort
should erne to .Seaforth they would
certainly like to be on hand.

secured, by soave "strangers"and—
most extraordinary of all—prior to
their enee-ting in the town hall they
knelt in the street to pray. These
strangers sang a song familiar in
the memory of young Andrew as one
his mother used to singe ,
--eGod' used that demenabered melody
to awaken something new and fine
in the soul of Andrew W. Crawford.
The presence Of these .strangers ---
pioneer Salvationists in his ' h•ome
town—was used of God to bring a-

Matthew 1148: "Come unto Me all
ye that labor, and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. "When we
progress so much as to run the world
on Christian principles," the minister
said, "then we willehave rest, and not

A Trip to the
010 Country
London, Eng., July 16, 1932.
Dear Dora.
At the :present moment I'm enjoy-
ing the -big red leather chairs in Can-
ada House, writing at a desperate
rate to get this letter off to catch
the 2.30 Canadian mail., This week
has been just like a story book. I
wonder where I must start to tell
you about it. It's such fun. to start
out in the morning, not knowing
where you'll end up at night, or what
you will see. The weather has beer
:simply phenomenal for London— quite
warm and comparatively dry. I de-
spair of ever encountering one of the
celebrated pea -soup fogs. The local
paper announces that I'm bound fa:
a trip of travel and study; s.onierthing,
must be done about it, as A. A. Milne
would say.
The tea escapade to Priory Lane
last Sunday proved to 'be quite an
adventure. Armed with the usual
quota iyf assorted maps, we set nut
in our Stndiay dreeses:, only to find
ourselves at the end of a bus route.
Completely lost, like two stray cats,
•the "Bobbies" here simply must be
checked up for their five minute walk
euvarialbly amounts to half an hour.
However, with feet like lumps of
lead and a severe 'shortagebf tem-
per, we amible.d into our hostess'
garden and enjoyed a delicious tea.
with fresh econies and jam. I was
quite fascinated by the beautiful
prints and etchings of London whicn
they showed us. On our way hotee
we wandered through Kew Gardens
with the twilight air full of 'the scent
of roses and the hushed song of the
birds; it must have been a night like
that when Morton wrote his book,
'The Spell of London."
!Monday afternoon provided great
excitement—,an exploration party 'to
the famous London Zoo, in Regent's
Park. As it was my turn to ask di-
rections, putting on a bold front I
dashed up to a "boibbie" in Trafal-
gar Square. Fancy my embarrass-
ment when he added, "And see that
they let you out again, Missy." De
spite the fact that it was pouring
rain and that my two-by-four umbrel-
la doesn't cover much territory, we
found the hippo's and lions and mon-
keys. most entertaining, especially at
feeding time. 'It was a had day for
the snakes; they had all gone to bed
at four d'cloek. The giraffes are fed
by long overgrown tent poles. We
;stayed so long that I barely had time
to d'as'h home and dress for dinner.
I met Mts. Hill at the Overseas Club
for a lemonade, and then we set out
for Clapham 'Common. Oh, it is such
fun to have friends here because you
see another side of London We. In

The regular :monthly meeting of
the W. M. S. was 'held in the session
room ,of the church on Wednesday,
November 9th with the president,
Mrs. Bremner in the chair. The
meeting opened by singing a hymn
followed •hy the Lord's Prayer in uni-
son. The responsive Scripture les-
son was taken from Matthew 25:37-
46. The minutes of last meeting -
were read and approved and the roll
call was responded to by a verse con-
taining the word "hope.” Mrs. R. P.
Watson gave a very interesting re-
port on the Centre Section meeting,
held in Winthrop. Mrs. - Bremner
spoke on Miss Martin's work in In-
dia. The temperance lesson, "Why
1 Do Not ,Touch Wine," was read 'by'
Mrs. ,Hazelwood. Mi ss Murdloeh,
leader of Group 10, then. took the
Chair. A hymn was sung and the
devotional leaflet. "Dorcas, the Wo-
man Who Was Always Wanted" was
read 'by Mrs. Addison. The topic,
taken from the study book, "His Do-
minion orf Canada," was in champ, of
the leader, assisted by the following
ladies: Mrs. A. McQueen, Miss Bow-
ey, Mrs. 11. Aikenhead, IMrs, Haugh
and Miss, Munroe. After singing a
hymn, the meeting was brought to a
close by repeating the Mizpah bene-
diction.

HOW :s H. MEMBER
STARTED iN POLITICS
Toronto_Star Weekly Pub-
, lishes Interesting Sketch
of W. H. Golding.
'(From the Toronto Star Weekly)
!Some men are born Liberals, some
achieve Liberalism, and •some have
Liberalism thrust upon .them. Wil-
liam H. Golding, the new member of
parliament for South Huron, peas
horn a Li'beral. Ilis first recollection
is of his small ,boy Liberalism, which
manifested itself in an obsession to
tear d•own Conservative Posters.
There was a sign hoard near the lit-
tle school at Staffa and each day
young Golding scanned the signs to
see if there were any 'Conservative
announcementsor adverti.sing. If
there were, off they came, and Lib-
eralism flowed in a. warm wave over
the young iconoclaet,
Even at that early age the future
.YLP„ was in luck. The teacher lec-
tured and the trustees stormed about
the destruction of the posters, but
whenever young Golding went on a
tear with the posters he did it with
such skill that bawas never caught.
A farmer !by bi h, young Golding
became a mechanic 'hy
Tinkering with farm machinery gave
hrim a liking" for machinery and he
became a machinist's apprentice, and
upon passing out of his apprentice-
ship followed the trade. When he
ran for parliament recently he was
shcp foreman in the Bell Engine and
Threshing Machinery Works at, Sea -
forth, Ontario,
"The ap.prentice, system was a fine
thing" Mr. Golding said to The Star
the other day. "With all these
youngsters leaving••echool and no em-
ployment for them., I think it would
be a good thing if the. system 'were
revived and these boys apprenticed
for five years. It would be the mak-
ing of them and save them from the
idle existence many of thein are lead-
ing.'-
Mr. Golding has always taken a
keen interest in public affairs and for
sixteen years has,, served the munici-
pality of Sea -forth in one capacity or
another. For nine years he has 'been
.eletted by acclamation mayor of Sea -
forth. !He was selected as one of the
committee of three to make recom-
mendations to the provincial legisla-
ture with respect to amendments to
the 'Municipal Act. He was foremost
in the m,ovenuent which gave Seaforth
its present fine hospital and has beets
chairman of the hospital board since
