,ef the Provincial Board -meeting .in
which She urged) the members to
strive to make their allocation, Mrs.
J. A. Kerr favored with a solo, ac-
companied on 'the ,piano• by Mrs. M.
R. Rennie. ,
An excellent paper on the topic,
"Making the Most of Life's Second
Hese," was read by Miss Belle Camp-
bell and.the Glad Tidings prayer by
Mrs. Grace Rose. • ..
In speaking, Miss Campbell .said:
"To all of us at sometime has come
disappointment because of frustrat-
ed plans. So often God places before
us two doors, the door of inclination
and the door of duty. The one open-
ing into what appears, to our short
vision a future of brightest joy while
through the other our straining eyes
can discern nothin.g but a path lead-
ing into a dimness which grows dark-
er and ever darker and we wonder
why God has so darkened the way
leading from the door of duty. We
forget that "now we see through a
glass darkly" and also that "His
ways are not our ways."
IneActs, the 16th chapter, reading
from the 7-9 verses., we find 'these
words: "After they 'Were come to
Mysia, they assayed to go into Bit.h-
ynia: but the spirit suffet'ed them not.
And they passing by Mysia came
down to Treas. And a vision appear-
ed 'to Paul in the night; them stood a
-.man of Macedonia and prayed 'him,
saying: Come over into Macedonia
and help us." We have here a brief
record of a very important event. The
day that Paul carried the gospel from
Asia into Europe was a notable one,
yet Paul hail 'planned otherwise; it
was God Himself wfho led: His' am-
bassador into Europe. Paul wanted
to go' 'to Bithynia but he was forced
to go to Trees and there -the vision
appearedunto him to go down into
Macedonia. He turned perhaps un-
willingly from the door of inclination
to the door of duty, accepted life's
.second best as he thought at the
time, but made of it the best of his
achievem'enba To -day we have the
Christian religion because he answer-
ed the cry of the Pagan West: "Come
over and help us."
.One of the poets has said, "To ev-
ery one there openeth •a way and
ways and a way." Strangely enough,
that way is seldom that of one's own
choosing. Gladly would we walk in
pleasant places, beside the quiet
streams in the rich valley, but to us,
perhaps, has been apportioned the
dipand way, the stony way, the way
of suffering.
.1h/filmy, like Paul, have had to ac-
cept a Trees; it might be b•ecau'se of
ill health or for many other reasons.

HURON REGIMENT
HISTORY UNDER WAY
Regiment Won Second Place
in M. D. No. 1 Inspec-
tion, Report States.
• That the work of compiling a com-
plete history is 'proceeding satisfac-
torily was the announcement made at
a meeting of the officers of the Regi-
ment in the barracks, Goderich, on
Friday. Major IS. W. Archibald, Lon-
don, is in charge of the work and
original papers regarding the forma-
tion of .the -regiment -and pictures of
former officers are being sought.
It is announced' that- the regiment,
inspected by, Brig. -Gen. Ross, Lon-
don, at the time of the Governor-
General'.s(visit to Goderieh an October
19, 1933, 'won second place for rural
regiments in Military •District No. 1.
In view ,of this good showing it is
thought annual training may be re-
sumed either in night classes or, in
camp in London.
An invitation to take partip the
centennial • celebration at Hensall in
1935 is being considered, but the of-
ficers feel that without extensive
training the regiment would not -be
qualified to give an exhibition.
The regiment will remain in the
infantry class as a recent move to
have it evade into an artillery unit
has fallen through.'7lhe annual mili-
tary ball will be held in April next at
Clinton.
,Refreshments were served at the
close of the meeting which was in
charge of Lt. -Col. A. F. Sturdy. Those
present 'were Majors A. H. Jane, of
Goderich; Morgan, Cliriton; Archi-
bald, London; Atkinson, Exeter; Cor-
bett, Wingham; Captains Ford,

tenants F. A. Crich, 1). R. Nairn, A.
