Now He Belongs to the Ages There is a seer-like finality to the following momentous words of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to the Young Libert- als of Western Ontario, at London: 1 “As for you who stand to-day on} the threshold of life, with a long‘ horizon open before you, for a long: career of usefulness to your native} land, if you will permit me, after a} long life, I shall remind you that al- ready many problems rise before you; problems of race division, problems of creed differences, ,problems of econ-l nmic conflict, problems of national duty and national aspiration. Let me tell you that for the solution of these problems, you have a safe guide, an unfailing light, if you remember that, frith is better than doubt, and lovel ‘: better than hate, and hope is bet-l ter than pessimism. Banish doubt‘ and hate and pessimism from your life. Let your souls be ever open to 1he strong promptings of faith, and the gentle influence of brotherly love. Be adamant against the haughty; be gentle and kind to the weak. Let your aim and your purpose, in good report or in ill, in victory or in de- feat, be so to live,,so to strive, so to serve, as to do your part to raise the standards of life to higher and better spheres.” This vital deliverence was made so shortly before the Great Canadian serenely passed on from amongst us, just fifteen years ago, next Saturday 17th inst., that it stands out as his inspiring Valedictory to his native land. That it voices not only the ripened, mellowed sentiments of Sir Wilfrid, when the day of his life was far spent, but also the convictions of his golden prime, is clear from the fol- lowing moving appeal for morale, in days of stress, in course of his cele- brated address at Quebec, in 1894: “Gentlemen, our situation as a country is full of difficulties, and those difficulties are no doubt im- mense. Still, there is nothing des- perate about them. What this coun- try needs, above all else, is peace, concord, and union between all the elements composing it’s population. Let us show to the world that if we reverence the past, we also have a regard for the future. And in all the difficulties, all the pains, and all the vicissitudes of our situation, let us always remember that love is better than hatred, and faith better than doubt, and let hope in our future des- tinies be the pillar of fire to guide us in our career.” Was he not the noblest Roman of them all; who, from amidst the snowy locks of 76 years, shot forth this BROTHERTON’S ' BOOKING Steamship umce If you are looking for quality and workmanship at a reason- able price, call and see our stock of hand made harness and col- lars.

AND. 2 (ALL SEATS FREE) AUSPICES OF Y,P.S. peerless challenge, in stressful days? “There is a crisis, and we must fight on as fought the pioneers of the early days in Canada, the strong, stern men who kept in sight their goal of Canada’s best interests against all difficulties and obstacles. Let our motto be the same as theirsâ€"â€" ‘Fortitude in Distress.’ There are breakers ahead, but We shall reach the shore if We fight on.” How strikingly applicable are these appeals to the present situation in Canada! Looking back across the years since Sir Wilfrid Ilaurier’s death, we are impressed at the way subsequent developments have demonstrated the prescience of his views on many ques- tions, such, for instance, as the quesâ€" tions of Inter-Imperial Relations World Peace, Disarmament and the League of Nations. In no realm of public thought, how- ever, since his death, has Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s prescience been more strik- ingly demonstrated than by the grow- ing recognition of the urgent need ‘for a more ethical attitude in econ- lomic matters. l Authoritative bodies of men, lead- ‘ing Scientists and Economists, as we all know, are urging, with increasing >insistence, that the increase of the |well-being of the masses, has not been proportionate to the general growth of wealth, and that the rights of society as a whole, to the wealth that depends on it’s own collective enterprise, have to be asserted in a more adequate way. He always talked to some purpose; and realized the obligation to prac- tice what he preached. It’s one thing to talk in an ethical vein, but it’s ;quite another, and much more diffi- cult thing, as we all know, to act lethically. Sir Wilfrid’s undeviating; but sunny and magnetic rectitude of life and conduct, through long, laborious and self sacrificing years of devoted ser- vice to Canada, prove he was! a prac- tical idealist. That, in other words, the ethical development of mankind, has not kept pace .with the scientific and economic development. An eminent and learned historian, Prof. Jean Charlemagne Bracq, con- siders- that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was, above all, an ethical leader, and ranks his London address as: ” But Sir Wilfrid thought that ac- tions speak loudJer than words. His Motto was: “Worthy of the utterances of the greatest ethical leaders of our time.” “Let our purpose be ideal, and our actions be practical.” “When he was taken away,” (re- marks Prof. Bracq) “the best men of the land felt that a great, gentle, in. telligent and beneficient force had de- parted from the quick of Canadian life, and that this eminent Christian gentleman, perhaps more than any other political leader, had all along, given not only an example of as righteous a Government as, in our state of society, it is possible to have, but also one of practical ethics.” “This man," (in the words of that gifted son of Western Ontario, Peter McArthur) “was so chivalrous‘, so human, that he belonged to all classes, and to all the people.” “Now that his body has been laid in death, with the Kings and Counsellors of the earth, the spirit of Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier, a man of the people, has passed into the wide spaces, golden sunshine and open air of the land he loved, to be an inspiration to all Canadians, as long as chivalry, courtesy, and high achievements are prized among men.” “When a great man dies, , For years beyond our ken, ‘ The light he leaves behind him lies Along the paths of men.” Lots of Thrilisas Single Men Defeat |l Benedicts ln Exciting Hockey Game; They just can’t come back. 'lnlS was again conclusively proven Tues- .lay evening when the single men of .he community defeated the benedicts in an all star challenge hockey game 4t the Richmond Hill arena. It was 1. great battle which overshadowed the all star game in Maple Leaf Gar- dens later in the Week. The game was a feature of Tuesday evening’s )ld Timers skating party which was another notable success. About one :undiied and fifty attended and every- one enjoyed to the limit the fine ex- hibition of the great game of hockey. The American‘ All Stars recruited from the single men included on the line-up the following: John Ross Roach (Earl Blanchard) goal; Lionel Conacher (G. Willis), Ching John- ston (Jack Daunt), Bill Cook (Ted Manxsbridge), Eddie Shore (Jim Young), Lionel Norm Himes (Lewis Sims), “Red” Dutton (George Plew- man). ... ~. 1- ,,, (VLALAJ. lllull, . Canadian All Stars: Lorne Chabot (Ernie Hall), Levinsky (Frank Schisler), Happy Day (Tom Taylor), Clancy (Fred Webster), Primeau (A1 bert Hill), C. Conacher (Wes Well- man), Toms (Dunc Chamn-ey), Har- vey Jackson (H. F. Austin), Ace Bailey (Bill Neal), Morenz (Herb Sanderson), Red Homer (Fred Hopâ€" per). Ernie Hall, the Lorne Chabot of the benedicts, deckekd in fireman’s red helmet and a generous supply of pads made a fine goalie. He stopped thousands of shots but Ernie said “I couldn’t stop them all.” The three that did beat him Ernie claims was the fault of the defence players. Members of both teams were Well outfitted and all had donned consid- erable quantities of war paint for the occasion. Unique and varied were the outfits worn and it was definitely declared by experts present that never before in hockey’s history‘had a more brilliant set of uniforms been seen on ice. “Mine Boy” Levinsky (Frank Schisler) husky defence star of the benedicts wore the headgear of an Indian chief, his partner on the defence Happy Day (Tom Taylor) was known during the evening as “the man in the red pyjamas.” Coun cillor Bill Neal wore his working clothes and he needed them as he was cleaning the ice quite a bit of the time. Most of the players wore skirts and there were all kinds of gowns on the ice. In fact, it looked m re like an Easter parade than a hockey game. Godfrey Willis invneu the Maple Leaf scouts up to see him perform and had visions of wearing a Maple Leaf uniform in the Stanley Cup games. The Maple Leaf moguls said “Nix” to Godfney but it is rumored they offered a handsome contract to “Wes” Wellman who was one of the star performers of the night. Play opened fast and furious and the American all stars opened the scoring. Happy Day for the Bene- dicts pulled up his red pyjama legs and made a sensational rush which bulged the nets to tie the score. The Amerks put 9n the power, play and nothing but the wonderful work of the Canadian defence and the sen- sational net minding of Lorne Chabot prevented a larger score. As it ‘was the game ended 3-1 in favor of the single men; Sticks flew high sometimes. Ref- eree Bert Cook couldn’t see a thing. The only time he rang the bell was when he thought the single fellows were going too fast towards the marâ€" ried men’s goal. Early in the second period the fine game was marred by some rough tactics and ,ended in a brawl on the which it was feared the spec- tators might become entangled.

There was a very good attendancei of boys and girls, four teachers and three officers, at Sunday School last Sunday. Also a good attendance at Church Service in charge of Rev. Mc- Donald Who preached a stirring ser- mon taking his Text from second Peter, chapter 1, verses 8-9, “For if these things be in you and abound, Ye shall not be unfruitful in the Know-‘ ledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but he that lacketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off.” Mrs. Jenâ€" lsen of Toronto and Mrs. Far-rants sang a duett “My Father Knows.” The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered by Rev. McDonald assistedl by Mr. F. Maxwell. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bailey of Tor- onto spent Eaturday afternoon and evening with Mr. and Mrs. W. J. |Baker of Carrv‘ille Road.

The Young People from Carrville United Church put on a three act play in the Richvale Church last Wed- nesday night. The play was very good and well acted. The very cold night, no doubt, kept a great many from attending. “PREHISTORIC MONSTERS" ARE BECOMING COMMON The appearance of “prehistoric monsters” is, (apparently, becoming quite commonplace. Passengers aboard the Canadian National steam- ship “Prince Rupert” on a recent trip in northern British Columbia waters were quite sure they had discovered Puget Sound’s famous “Caddy” mak- ing his way to Alaska. The large object which they saw floating- on the surface, however, turned out to be Ea " wuerz‘s rnsm 00m. MEEVEQ a dead whale off which hundreds of seagulls Were feasting. At a distance the seagulls looked like serrations along the back _of the supposed mon- ster. YOUNG TOTS TRAVEL LONG WAY TO DADDY Two youngsters, aged“ four and six respectively, recently arrived at Hali- fax from Czlechoâ€"Slovakia and boardâ€" ed a Canadian National Railways train for Chatham, 0nt., where their daddy awaited them. The railway arranged for a woman who spoke their language to accompany them from Halifax to Montreal. On the way to Canada the young charges ‘were under the care of the liner’s istewardess. The last part of their journey from Montreal was in charge lof the sleeping car conductor. RICHVALE Jens-en of Toronto spent h Mr. and Mrs. Farranbsv, 1anle AANLALtN CUTTER for the taking away. C. H.
