Mr. Mai; had been in failing health for two years, but was taken critical- ly ill one week previous to his death, and all remedies failed to check the trouble. W. L. Mair was born in !Brantford, June 17, 1857, his par- ents 'being the late William Mair and .3ane Knox • Astir, who came from I1 wick, ,Scotland. In 186'2 the par- ents moved ,o Hullett township and lhom+ecsteaded on lot 34, concession 9, and it was there that the deceased lived continuously until 1920 when he retired to live in Clinton.

Church Organ 'Served Its Purpose Well "The old order changeth, giving place to new," may aptly apply to the Lutheran church organ, which last week was replaced by a fine new organ .of modern type, dedicated to the 'worship of God during the even- ing service on Sunday. _But the his- tory of things ancient and modern is always of interest, hence we recall: In the year 1875, Trinity Church con- gregation ongregationl erected. a frame church on Blanchard Street, the grounds of which have been. need down through the years as a .cemetery. Between 40 and 45 years ago ienew pipe or- gan was purrchased and planed in this church. Thirty-seven years ago the church in which Trinity Church - congregation now worship was built and the organ was moved from t'he old church to the new. Some years later' a new organ was installed and. their former one was purchased by the Grace Lutheran Church, when it was dissembled and set up in the old Lutheran 'Church on St. George St. by Mr. Richard Thorne. — Mitchell Advocate.

Thrown From His Horse Harry Cook, son of .Mr. and Mrs. William Cook, Goderich township, was thrown from a horse at his home on Saturday afternoon and suffered a painfully injured ankle.

Many Apples on Twig We have on exhibition in this office a small ~branch of a Spy apple- tree which seems to give the lie to the report of a scarcity of apples this fall. On this branch, bunched so close together that two of the apples are growing together, are six - good sized, well formed, well colored ap- ples and a little ,shriveled one. Then down from that a few inches is an- other good-sized apple. It was grown in the orchard of Mr. Wilbur Welsh in Stanley, and if his trees were all as well laden as this branch he ought to halve a bumlper crop.---+Goderich Star.

Dr. Williamson died in 1890 and Dr. Timothy Richard of • the English Baptist 'Mission took up the torch. It was always a flaming torch in his hands. In 1899 'Dr. Donald MacGil- livray, owing largely to Dr. Richard's influence, caught the vision, and the Canadian Church lighted another torch. I remember the rooms they occupied in 1899 two small room's over a book shop in a crowded Qkin- ese street with ceilings so low you could only just stand upright, and stairs resembling a steep ladder, no well lighted offices or arm chairs or stenographers or telephones, just men fired with a vision and a determina- tion to forge ahead carrying. _aloft the flaming torches of Light and Truth. Others joined them, including Chinese writers. What was the Vi sion these men and women saw that caused them to dedicate their , talents and lives to, the cause of producing Christian. literature? Methinks they saw China in danger, emerging from the old into new paths; they saw the Chinese Church illiterate, the Chin- ese pastor untrained, the woman with bound feet and a bound life, the'"Child in the Midst" and heard a voice not only crying, "How shall they hear without a preacher," bfut "How shall they preach without they a r e taught?" and `".How can they be taught without books?" At first the Society catered chief- ly for the literati. That was inevit- able—hardly anyone else could read and barriers had to be broken down, contacts. 7nlade--(Light' hard tt pene- trate. But as years passed and the needs of the Chinese church became insistent, the voice called, "Feed my sheep," "Feed my lambs," and again, "Suffer little children to cone unto Me," and men and women were ready to answer, "Here am I."

EXETER Celebrates 73rd Anniversary Ca'ven PProsbyt.erian Church cele- brated its 73rd anniversary on Sun- day last and on Wednesday evening the ladies served a fowl supper which was largely attended. Rev,. Kenneth MacLean, B.A., of Wingham, preach- ed from the text: "This is the House of God," at the morning service, and in the evening he took for his theme, "The Altar." His sermons were marked by clearness of thought and fluency of language. The music for the occasion was particularly fine. Besides the anthems which were ex- ceptionally well rendered, the congre- gations had the pleasure of hearing Mr. and Mrs. Case- R. Howard, of New York, both in solos and a duet. Others who took special parts in the music were:.'Mrs. Sillery, ,Mrs. Camp- bell, Miss Strang, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. Francis and Mr. Cousins. The man- agers report very generous collec- tions, consideraMy in excess of last year. The +-mister, Rev. S. 'Moore Gordon, B.D., took Mr.- 'Maclean's services at Wingham.

One of the members of the team at practically each of these fairs mentioned, won the sweepstake prize at halter, as best individual horse on the grounds. The team are both very young and in another year or so when fully de- veloped, could go a long ways before their equal could be found.

Phillips, Auburn, from his brother, John, of Yellowgrass, Sask. Mr, John Phil- lips was ,formerly a resident of Whitechurch, Ont. It explains itself: "We are going to face the worst win- ter on record. I am afraid there will be a lot of suffering. We did not thresh a bushel on this place where we 'live. The drought is the main reason. The !hoppers were bad too. It is very discouraging. We thresh- ed about 100 acres on the old place and we got 700 bushels which gives us our seed (back and that is all. We had to cut a lot of green wheat for. feed for our stock. They are having a hard time to keep the schools open; people cannot pay taxes. South Sas- katchewan -ewes worse hit. There were no gardens and no potatoes in. this part." This gives us some • idea of conditions in some parts of the West. We are glad to say that the people in Ontario are responding so readily to the call of need. Mr. 'W. H.

That dusty picture of an optimist and a pessimist—the opti- mist seeing the doughnut and the pessimist the hole—is just a way of describing most of us: some of us habitually look on the bright side of things; others of us on the dark side. Always there are those who have a melancholy pleasure in fault-finding. And so there are always those who look upon advertising as an econ- omic waste and a means by which the sale of inferior merchandise can be promoted. It is quite possible to discover wrong things about advertising—just as it is possible to find wrong things about water and air, about books and speeches, about motor cars and aeroplanes, about schools and churches, about Canadians and Scotsmen, about knives and forks. Advertising is news and information, and who shall say that it is wrong to communicate news and information? It would be a pretty dull world, full of dull people, if there ceased to be a disa- seminatiori of news and information. In all ages and in all countries those giving out news and in- formation have attracted to themselves attentive audiences; and this is as true to -day as it was 1000, 2000, 3000 3ars ago. What stores are busiest? Is it not those stores which give out most information about what they have to sell? The public is daily spending money—probably $2 a day for every man, wo- man and child in the trading area covered by the circulation of our newspaper—or, say, $2000 for every 1000 persons. So you CUD calculate for yourself—you, a retailer, what is spent daily in our own community for food and shelter and clothing, and for all the other! things. • THE HURON EXPOSITOR McLEAN BROS., Publishers.
