Well, perhaps sa. Wili they came by way of Hall's Marsh as the Fenians did back in the late 50's? Perhaps you remember the turne, when this town got the biggest scare of its life. Il was reported that a vessel loaded with Fenians bad landed at HaUl's Marsh. As there were reports of there being sucb people in differ- ent parts of western Ontario, il was of course thaugbt fIxaI it was aur Iumn next. Sa the town gaI mbt an uproar. The Congregation- ai minister, Rev. Mn. Rekie, dawn by the Maynard hotel, exorted the people ta gel busy and barricade the west bridge. Saine started ta pack their belongings and taok ta the tali timber ta the nortb of the settlement. Saine got their family relations together tbinking it would be belten toalal die ta- gether Ihan ta die singly. But taken all-around it was funny while it lasted. When a courier was sent on horseback ta scout the district it was found ta be a stane-hooker down froin Toronto witx a crew ta load stone whicb tbey obtained in sinali boats close ta shore. But what a display of battie axes, ciaynxors, pitch farks, old time flint loch mushets, shotguns and other weapons of warf are was neyer seen before or since. The hateis of the tawn, espec- îally thase on the front street, did a great business ahl night long. Those who were short on courage forlifying theinselves until they nat only saw a company but a whole regiment an the March ta take possession.

Not many escaped the vigilance of fixe Home Guard and were made ta tell their destination and business. Even a yaung man an fixe way home afler seeing bis best girl had ta explain bis lateness and business. Il gaIta be a jake event- ually and was a laughing matter for years afterwards. The situation ta-day is differ- ent, but just the saine we should have a Home Guard formed, and the town authomities should give il their immediate attention. PUBLIC HANGING AT COBOURG Mm. Fred Williams, in the Globe and Mail of June 8th, gives an accaunt of an execulion in the town of Cobourg, when mUrderers were hanged in public and pro-! vided gruesome spectacles for morbîd men and women. Tbis one in Cobourg taok place in 1859 on June 91b. This murdemer, Dr. William Henry King, practised medicine in the village of Brigh- tan and married a lady of Camp- beilford. She died under circuin- stances thal indicated foui play. The Dr. went 10 Calafornia but a warrant was issued and he was brought back and it was praven he was the cause of ber death hy poison and sentenced ta be hang- ed. This taok place on June 91h, 81 years ago. Among the jurors we naticed the naine of Jonathan Porter, brother of Marsbal Porter of this town, well known here for many years, Richard Basset, and ten others. The tawnship of Clarke was mucli interesîed in Ibis case and on the day of execution, I well remember as a lad, tbere were many wbo drove down. Saine froin the old school section No. 9 and arn-ong the number were many wamen. The weehly Globe in those days would have a full account of the triai in ail its stages and the working men around the farm and flour mill would meet at the close of the day's work and the man of the bouse wouid read until il was lime for reliring. Another big scoop for the big weekly paper aI that periad was the famous Brooks-Bush gang with their headquarters around the river Don in Toronto. There was a public banging in Ibis case also but seeing such once, was enaugh for anyone but the most morbid man or woman. STORY 0F A BOOK By John Ellilot This book bas historic interesî. In fact il is histary, for the tille is-"Tbe Bible Christians, Ibeir Origin and Histary," hy F. W. Boumne. Il belonged 10 Rev. S. J. Allun of Toronto, an old lime Bowman- ville boy whase death was re- cently recorded in the Statesman, and il was presenîed by hum la the writer, with the undenstand- ing thal it should ultimately lie placed in the archives of the Lon- don Conference of the United Church, of which Mm. Ailin was for many yeans an honored mem- ber. As chunch historians know, the Bible Christian Churcli was anc of the branches of Methodism that entered the Methodist Union of 1884, and was finaily mcrged in the United Churcli Union of June, 1925. Many neaders of Ibis papen think of the Bible Christian Church as the cbunch of their fathers, and know thal Bowman- ville was anc of ils chief centres in Canada. Here was pubIshed its chunch paper, The Observer, a naine which bas been adopted for the official paper of the United Church of Canada. As a society, it had its origin in the English counties of Devon and Cornwall, and the ministerial naines appeaing in the history are suggestive-Eynon, Hancock, Billy Bray, Hoidge, Thorixe, Ro- berts, Rowe, Kenner, Naît, Van- stane, Hobbs, Higman, Honey, Freese, Pascoe, Allun, Gale, Way, Baumne, Webber, Barker, Tabb, Lark and inany others that are now familiar Canadian naines. The laIe Rev. S. J. Aluin was one of the last, if not the last, of the ministers of the aid cburch Ihat entered the union of 1884. His ministry began in 1874. His father was a close fiend of Rev. James Way, who went froin England as the pioneer Bible Christian missionary to Australia, and this Rev. James Way had a distinguisbed son, Samuel James Way, who becaine Chief Justice of South Australia, and the boy Samuel James Aluin was named for hum. In 1912 Chef Justice Way was a lay delegate fmom Australia ta the greal world conference of Methodismn held that year in Washington, D.C., and he made a special side trip ta spend a Sun- day in the home of Rev. Mm. Afin, wbo was then minister of Hamil- tan Rioad Methodist Church, Londan, Ont. Here the book cames in, for it was sent ta Mr. Allin after that visit by the Chief Justice wilb the fallowing inscription in bis own1 hand an the fly leaf: To the Rev. S. J. Allin, This history of the Methodist Church, ta which bis father lie- longed, and inta which he was bomix, froin bis friend after whomn lie was nained. Ade]aide, South Australia, October, 1912. S. J.

The lake cruise froin Sarnia ta Port Arthur, thxe full length of Lake Huron, tbrough the SaulI Ste. Marie lochs, and across Lake Superior, is a vacationer's delight. One passes out of sighî of land on baîh lahes sa vast are these great bodies of water-vemitable fresb waîer oceans-and aI these limes il is difficuit ta imagine one is not an an ocean liner. The al- ways accampanying sea guils, taking the log, and many ether incidents of life aboard are the saine as an an ocean steamer. The amazing amaunt of passing traffic-from huge freighters to tInn private yacts-is of neyer failing interest as is also the pas- sage thraugh the "Soo" locks (wbose traffic fan exceeds that of the Panama and Suez Canais coin- bined) where the ship is raised or lowered'the 21 feet of difference in the levels of Huron and Super- ion.

Carefully prepamed froin the best of foods, they are appetizingiy served, pipmng-bot or icy-cold, in the large observation dining saloons and contrîbute greatly ta the enjoyment of the voyage; and between meals, peckishness is relieved by after- noon lea and refreshments dur- ing the evening. Sorry we cannot tarry longer bere at Port Arthur ta see the manufacture from spruce Wood ta newspinl and finest book- paper-of pulp and paper in the two largest milîs, and view the immense grain elevators. We aiso wiUl miss the Kakabeka Falls, a truly magnificent 115 ft. water- fall. The two nights on the Nomonic gave us tired vacationists a wondemful slart, for the silent engines and vibrationless moving of the gigantic steamer gave us perfect rest. After the extended train ride ta Calgary we wiii enter upon a week of excitinent and sight- seeing that I wiil tmy ta describe in a later letter. Wish more of you cauld be with us to enjoy tbis superb ttip. When our party of weekly publishers, wlves and daughters, changed from the commodiaus Naronic ta the more cramped quarters of pullman cars for the hundreds of miles between Port Arthur and Calgary, we inissed the freedoin of the spacious cab- ins and the lengthy promenadesi of decks wheme we wall<ed for hours in the cool air of Lakes Huron and Superior. But the magnificent air con- ditioned pullman coaches of the C.N.R. made the steadily increas- ing beat quite bearable and we enjoyed every hour of the trip, and frequent stops of 5 ta 10 min- utes gave us plenty of opportun- ity ta stretcb aur legs. Not hav- ing been West of the Soa before, I was pleasantly surprised ta find the landscape s0 much dotted with sinall lakes and rivers and the vast forests of Western On- tario covered thousands of acres that I had expected ta find cul- tivaîed. Sa it was anything but monantonous, as many of the long narrow lakes and rivers were doîted wiîh log booms and rafts- of finished railroad ties and long- er and larger limbers nal yet sawed and sbaped. Then there was an occasional moose standing knee-deep in the swampy places, and boats and canaes of variaus sizes and shapes, lying at anchor or moving swiftly throug}h the waîer. We also saw many flying boats that bave solved sa efficiently the problein of rapid transportation over the entire northwest and the arclic regions. Indian cabins, with women as well as men workîng in the fields, made up a scene that was new ta me. As we moved farther West 1 noticed many more wo- ýmen assisting in the farin work, many of wbom must have been the immigrants froin other coun- tries as they bad the large frames and strength of men, typical European peasants wbo were glad ta do their share ix cuifivating and developing the fertile acres of their new homes in Ibis land of oppartunity and freedoin. Then as we proceeded througli Winnipeg and into Saskatchewan the farms became larger. There were colossal elevators at every station, fences disappeared except alang the right of way of the roalroad, and sections of 640 acres replaced the sinaller patches. I saw for the first tinie fields of grain as large as whole farnis of the size I had been accustomed ta in Eastern Ontario and the eastern States. I have seen some very fine farins in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maine, as wdl as in Eastern Ontario and Quebec and also in England and Scot- land, but none of them ever gave me the impression of farming on a large scale that these immense tracts under intensive cultivafion in these western provinces., I did nat see as many tractors as I expected, but perhaps these are used more in the reaping and threshing of grain than in the plowing, cultivating and seeding. But I did see teains of 4 ta 8 horses, many wonking in tandem with 2 horses un front and 4 abreast hauling the plows. One team that interested me was evi- dently made up of mares as three colts gambolled alongside the straining heavy draft teani. 1 neyer saw country as level as Saskatchewan's millions of acres of wheat fields and southcmn Albierta with their perfectly straight horizons in al noints of the compass. Neyer having cross- cd the prairie provinces bef ore, I was amazed at being able to travel a thousand miles without seeing a bill or valley. We visited the 500oo o Sunday and Port Arthur on Monday - Dominion Day - and of course they were very quiet, but when we arrived in Saskatoon, Winni- peg and Calgary their wide streets just teemned with business, and the autos in the streets and women shoppers crowding the sidewalks and stores showed every evidence of activity in mer- chandising and industry. We registered at the beautiful Hotel Palliser at Calgary, and immediately got busy with the routine business of the 2lst anni- versary - the comning-of-aze con- vention of the C.W.N.A. As we are now travelling at lightning speed to cover in three days the side trip to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper Park, I will have to leave further details for next week's paper. The weather has been perfect from the hour we left the Union depot in Toronto Saturday noon, and nothîng untoward bas hap- pened to mar the steady progress and pleasure of our sojourn. (Continued next week) Voice of the People NO BLACEOUT 0F COMMON SENSE IN CANADA Editor The Statesman: Seenis to me, Mr. Editor, there is something essentially different in the way of life of us who in- habit the American continent and those to-day in turmrpil on thxe continent of Europe. There has been no blackout of commnon sense in Canada yet, but issues are comrnencing to fog up suspic- îously and that is a danger sign. It is dangerous because when people get confused they are for- ever apt to go on an emofional jag as a way out, simply to end the torment of their own mental perplexity. Too many of us hate to think; we'd rather crazy-tallc mstead. On the basis of some opinions you yourself have handed out can you blame your neighbours for seeing a "fifth colunin" in every bed-post or a Trojan Horse under fixe led? There happen to be things we ail came about, being able ta vote, ive, earn, travel, read and pray any way we doggone please. The safety of the .things we care about doesn't depend so much on any decision we may evér take, as it does on the fact that theme always be a decision, made by an inforin- ed people - calmly and quietly on fixe basis of facts. There must be no blackout of clear thinking in Canada, so next time a friend of yours bleats: "Emergency ... Follow the leader .. Jail fixe dissenter .. Gag the press .. Throttie fixe opposi- tion .. just tell hum you want all fixe facts flot just one side of fixe case and tell hlm that wefl- intentioned folk have been lioller- ixxg like that for ages and feeling mighty foolish aftemwamd. We, Canadians have got com- mon sense, if we will only bother to use it. But if you don't believe we are mlghty lazy using it on occasion just watch how many. people edge up and whisper "Fiftix Column" for writing this article. A LITTLE DUBIQUS.
