The ancient 'brick building, with its plain wooden pews anc frosted glass windows and oic fasbioned box-stoves, was builtitn 1865 as the meeting place of the Bible Christians, but some 60 years ago the congregation united xith the Primitive Metbodists. Its doors bave been closed for services now for 20 years, but a few af the faithful continued to condugt a Sunday School inter- 7mittentiy, until 12 years ago when t A kas suggestcd that the build- ing be sold. The Presbytery de- ferred such drastic action until a few weeks ago when it was pur- cbased by Mr. M. A. Sleep, Bow- manville, for $200. Members af the board decided that it was bet- ter ta pull the cburch apart rath- or than let it fail apart, for its leaking roof and falling plaster speak loudiy *of the neglect it bas suffered. Mr. Chas. Aluin, Church St., Bowmanvilie, a former member o! the cburch, remembers bis fa- ther teliing hinm of the days before an organ was installed wben bie started the bymns with a tuning fork. At one time the mînister of Tyrone led the evening worship, and the local folk conducted the afternoon Sunday Schooi. Evemy Sabbath the littie piece of paper pînned an the wall under the cloclc was consulted to find out who would be the chosen one ta hoid forth on the following Lord's Day. Mr. Aluin recalis one Sunday morning in particular, when Fred Hoar was ieading the congregation in their worship, the atmosphere became SOMewhat warm. Leaving bis place in the pulpit, Mr. Hoar proceeded to adjust the faulty ventilation, This dane, be started ta make bis way back to pick up tbe tbreads o! the service; but not 'before bie fell and cracked a few ribs. The incident causcd quite a stir among the worship- pers, but the service was cantin- ued and the sermon preached (wîth an occasionai groan) by the suffering Mr. Hoar. Mr. Allun dors not recali the subject o! the dis- course. Old thaugh the church's history may be, aur informant bas no recailectian of a wedding or a funeral taking place at Provi- dence.

THE CANADIAN ARMY - "INSURANCE FOR PEACE'Qj The Prize 0f Ciizenship By Joseph Lister Rutledge Our friend was commenting on the tragic story of the young ex- airforce man who attempted to stop a criminal who had just held up a Toronto store, and who died at the hand's of the robber. We said' something about it being rather heartening to se someone taking risks in support of police action. Our friend shook his head. *'Doesn't pay off," he said "It rnay be courageouis, but it doesn't pay off. What did it get anyone? The bandit got away, didn't he? All there is to show for it is a widow and an orphan wbo needn't have been." "But is lhat ail?" "Look," he said, "I remember the case of a neighbor of mine. She saw a man tamperng with a car lock and caiied the police. They caught the man red-handed. 0f course she was called as a wit- ness. You can imagine the going- over she got from the thief's law- yers. But what really broke ber down was, as she left the court, she beard the owner of the car 'ay out loud that he wished "the old busy-body had kept ber mouth shut." You see, he was well in- sured. See what I mean? It doesn't pay off." Now tbis thinking would not be so significant if it were not wide-spread and, worse stili, if it did not have some justification, and if that justification did flot strike at the very vitals of aur civilized life. For, whether the citizen's cooperation in the main- tainance of law pays off in the individual case or not it does pay off for the people as a whole. No police force and no judical pro- cess can function without the fu cooperation o! the citizens whose rights and whose liberties and wbose lives are at stake. We recognize the young air- men's courage. Most of us couldn't equai it. We know that it takes another sort of courage to get in- volved as a witness, but we also should know there can be no enduring justice and no conscien-I tious and effective police action where the people refuse to per- sonalize their obligations by their readiness to tâke such risks. The best way to make that plain, we believe, is by such spon- taneous movements as the camn- paign to see the the wife and child o! Alfred Layng shah flot suffer unne2cessarily because a yuung man accep.ted the fuli duty o! citi- zenship to his own hurt. By such action we state our case-our be- lief that he was eternally right, whatever the cost. He paid the price o! bis citizenship. What Next Girls ?

Unless somebody takes it out and shows it to the peqple who need mouse traps most of them wil nover bear about it. It's the same with farm implements. Even though Massey-Ilarris has been building better and botter farm machines for more than 100 years, thousands of Canadian farmers would sil be doing their work the bard way if it weren't for the service of Massey-Harris dealers. Since the earliest days, the dealer (or "agent" as ho was once called) bas porformed a triple service. He bas served bis farm customers by selling them machines that enable them to increase their yearly eamnings. He has served Massey-Harris by enlarging the distribution of Massey-Harris products. And equally, ho bas served bis cammunity, bocause increased farmn earnings resuit in botter business for al merchants, and in better bornes, botter schools, better churches and bospitals.
