!'EURSDAT, AUGUS? 90, 1051 -- .v-~-. ~ ~ g~~~~Jsj ~1J.A1a A PSU AN OLD LOVE STORY In a small tawn in Western On- Nmio is ta ho found the key toaa rre at love story. It is an oId stary, &tlike ahi auch oxamples af a laith and true understanding which can exist between a man and a waman, one which wil sever de. It did not folhow the ssual pattern ai friends meeting, finding comman tboughts and ideas. blassoming Into lave, mar- riage and iamily and living hap- pily ever after. No, the pattera was much more complote than Lhat. The man's name was John = iJ1rst and the town whicb nlds bis record is Elara. On- tario. On the iree-stone cross in the cemetery thero Is this inscrip- tion- John Smithurst Cherk in Haly Orders Died Sept. 2nd, 1867 Aged 59 yoars, 11h nths, 23 days Ho wau a native ai Lea Hurst, Derbyshire, England, missioaary for twehve years ta the Red River Setthement, nearly six years In- cumbent ai Elora, aiterwards rosi- dont ai Lea Hurst, in the Town- ship ai Miato aad missionary to that township. As a young man in England ho met a young girl wha an won bis heart that ber place could neyer ho usurped despite long years of seporatian. The girl was bis first cousin and parthy because ai this relationship and partly because of famihy opposition, she refused bis hand ln marriage. Fiaally. ha despair ho asked ber what sbe would have hîm do ta make sametbing worthwhileofai bis life. She suggested that ho go ta, Canada, ta bolp with thei missiQnary work aniong the In- dians, for wbich work constant requeats were reaching Eaglaad at that time. Ho dceided ta do this, gave Up business and went into training for the work which called hlm first ta the Red River Settlement. Ho became the first exclusivehy Canadian Church ai England missionary ta the, Ia- dians. Ho became their spiritual adviser and belper but alsn tank great stops ta behp alleviato their physical sufiering during the win- ter manths. Remember that a century aga this settlement, in England's eyos, wa4 at the end ai the worhd and véry little was krrown ai the inhabitants, the ter- rain or climatic conditions. His wark bocame rocognized la bis native land and first same assistants were sont out ta hlm and later 150 settiers. Ho visited the sick regularly and rode seven miles on' Suaday ta hohd services. For these deeds ho waý honored by boing made a member ai the gavorning body ai the Red River -the Council ai Assinibola. For twelve years ho warked among the Indians, trying ta bridge the gay between the wild, untamed people wbo lived by their strength and fighting skill and the advanced civilization ho had leit bebind. Ho campiled a dictianary ta bridge the gap of different tongues. For twelve long bard years ho toiled un- sparingly but always at the back af bis mind was the vision and inspiration ai bis ive. In 1851 ho went back to Eag- land ta -try bis luck again, but as formerlv faund no fulfiliment.

It would appear that the lovera mnay have made a solemn part that since their lave for each oth- or must romain unrequited thcy would nover mnarry but would in- stead devote thomselves ta the cause of humanity. On view I the little church In Elora is the communion set which was a token ai esteem ta, John Smithurst from bis love in Eng- land. Shortly after the end ai the Crimean War. bis health impaired by the rigors af bis lufe, ho rotir- ed ta a bush farm, where ho hived and workeý the virgin ground for ton yeats. Thon bis health fail- ing completely ho returned ta Elora ta the rectory, where' bis successor gave him every atteft- tion.1 The girl ho laved had not been idie la the maentime. She tan iulfilled ber part ai the pact. Hdr name was an many lips and she had become the beoine ai the, war. She loaked aiter the sick and was the first ta realize that military hospitals sbould not ho hot-beds ai disease. For the first timo baspitals became sanitary, spatless places, wbere some degree of camfort could ho iouad. Till this time it had flot been unusual for the wouaded to *be dumped la buts, aitea uabeated and always badly veatilated. Little or no care was administered and minor wounds soon became iafected \vbile the fetid air wauld become heavy laden with germs. There- foare this young girl and ber few belpers bad a great deal ta ac- complish ta tura existing con- ditions into the disinfected, dlean hospital wards, with isolation wards for the diseased, wbichi they kaew were s0 urgently re- quired. The work was sa strenuons pbysical]y and s0 depressiag spir- itually that ber bealth was cam- pletoly brokea. At the end ai the war she returneil home berseif an iavalid. She lived thus, as an iavalid, until 1910. She who had cared for so many sick needed such care naw herself, and ber true love had died in far-aif Can- ada la 1867, but stili faithini ta ber dear momory. Wba was this lady who could inspire such tender love la anc man that ho gave .up bis native land ta travel ta tbe end ai tho earth at ber request? Wbo was she who gained the love and gra- titude ai thousands ai sick men? Who was she wbo was called the beroine ai the British Army? Yes, you bave guessed It-none other than the beloved Lady ai the Lamp bersohf - Florence Nightingale. I Ed- Youngman 's Column Bill Roth and bis wife Hazel called ta see us a few days ago. 1 first met Bill when we were be- tween 17 and 18 years of age, over 38 years ago, in Toronto, when I became a boarder at bis married sister's house. At that time lie was giving Eva Sparks the grand rush. Now, Eva was a songster in the Salvation Army, thereforo diei not believe people should commit the sin of using tobacco in any form. Bill asured her he didn 't use tobacca. Unfortunate- ly she caught him at it. Finally the poor fellow was given an ul- timatum, either no smoking, or no Eva. Everytbing went along just ducky until ho was caught again. This time the fur really flew, in the midst of which Bill was told to stop calling around until he bad learned to be more trutbful and in addition, had cur- ed himself of the noxious habit of smoking those horrible coffin- nails (ciaettes). He and I went into a chuddle ta see if we could devise a way to punish the austere thinking young lady. We finally decided Bill should be seen squir- ing some other girl for two or three months, which would likel v make Eva jealous enougb to want to take bim back. And, when she was ready to make up, Bill was to assert b is masculine rights by informing her that, from no-e. on. be intended to take the odd drag on a fag without any inter- ference from ber. We agreed that I was to kind of bang around Eva and act as a sort of liason of- ficer. to give Bill the bigh sign when 1 thougbt she was repent- ant enough for hlm ta move in and take over. The .3chemn ap- peared fool-proof. But What do you suppose bappened? Bill started to buzz Hazel Brown and liked ber so mnuch that inside of three montbs thev were married, leaving me stUck with the old flame. I figured the slickest way to shake Eva was ta smake in ber presence. At that time it was possible ta purchase three cigars for a nickel, tbey were known as bar- roomn stinkers. Tbey were even worse than the election cig" that Johnnv James and JohnTi Foote pass out. Weil, I squanci- ered a whole dime on six of the é beastly tbings. Then, while out strolling with Eva, lit one up and started puffing. It burned m-, tbroat, made my eyes smart, made me feel a bit sick and dizzy, and smelled like garbage smould- ering. Eva neyer turned a hair. said that while she disapprovod of! smoking, she did love the aroma1 of a good cigar being smoked. I finallv solved the problem by marryink ber younger sister, Win- nie. Six mnonths later Eva mar- ried Jack Storey and Uived bappily ever after. The moral of this story Is, if your pal gets into a love jami, let him get out as best he (an, or vou mav be the one who will have ta do the quick side-steppinp. Bill, Jack and I served in the l9'.ii Btn. during the 1914--18 war. We' ail returned ta Canada, where Bill became a dairy manager, Jack becamne an inspector of police. I and poor aId Eddie Is plugginiz away in the raIe af a laborer. 1 always bave to ride n the rumble q First Wedding in Church in 70 Years AIR. AND MES. ROYAL S.

Last week At made the grade three times, the bard way. Albert Miller. a 13-year-old To- ronto boy. visiting in this area, was unfortunate enough ta fal from his perch on a highway-mak- ing machine, kaown as an agitat- or. The maving machinery badhy injured bis legs, back and stam- acb. He was rusbed to a Peterbar- ough bospital, thon later ta a To- ronta hospital wbere ho is re- ported ta be makiag good pro- gross. The second,. happening -was wben Mr. and Mrs. Noil Curtis wrere driving ia thoir car, oast- ward fromn McCrea's Churcb and were forced, by a motorist wost- ward, off the road anta the sait shouldor. If the car hadn't ram- med beadan into one ai those large poplar trocs in front ai the old Webb homestead, t would have hurtled down a steep em- bankment, with probabhy greater damage ta bath car and occu- pants. This is the fourth smash- op in less than a three-mile stretch east ai McCrea's Cburcb within the hast ton montbs, and the scventh \vithin the last tbree vears. A lot ai blame can ho laid ta the knohls haviag ton steep a gradient. The third item af nows was when a mnotorist going westward skidded into Alvin Ohan's car go- ing eastward. Mr. Olaa's son-in- law, Fred Youngman, was sup- posed ta ho driving at the time. Fred dlaimis that wben ho saw the other fellow speeding toward him ho biked for the ditch.

Deachman The Minister o!f Mance has annaunced that ho han a "current surplus." There is a pratest against it. Why, i these days, should anybody have a surplus! Tîmo was when such an an- nouncement wauld have been greeted with applause. Back in pre-war days - pre-flrst World War - I mean, The Toronto Globe would bave thrown out Its political cheat and attributed it - not ta a gift ai the gods - but to the Liboral Party and the cap- aci jand abilty ai its Minster Alas, how things have cbanged. TI the early 90's a statement ai this kind would have been cheer- ed. It would have been the sub- ject ai discussion at threshings- that's an Octobor and November job. In early wintor it would be mulled over at paring bees, later in the year It wauld b e dlscussect again around the box stovo. The children at school wauld tako their eues fram the things they heard at home. The teachers would bolp the children toaa clearor understanding et finance but - not on taday - this isaa new age, a difierent anc. The spenders are exalted, frugallty Io ignored. Times Change In the good aId days ai yore- goad and tough as tbey were-- îit was "root hog or die." Every- thing depended on ane's own in- itiative. Now in this golden age the gaverament throws its pro- tective arms about us and is sup- posed ta look aiter us, ecanamîc- ally and spiritually, from Uic cradfle ta tbe grave. Thon, anly a few years ago, John Maynard Keynes began tai occupy a large proportion ai the thought ai aur economic planners. Ho changed aur attitude ta ie. He was a bright boy, one af the best. Ho had wbat it takes. Ho argued that when depressians came it is due ta a lack ai spend- ing. When the evil thing begins ta loom ahead af, us the state sbould stop in and spend mare, restore the balance and thus launch us once mare on a sea of prasperity. The anticipatory result? The same as a doctor expects from a bload transfusion. The whole economic machine would feel new lufe. The pulse would strengthen, the mind func- tian, oven as it had dono before. It was accepted gladly. The pub- lic was ready and anxiaus for it. It was deep calling unto deep. In the public mind it uieant more spending. The voters no langer -desired economy or efiiciency in public service, they wanted ef- fective spending, suificient, at least, ta keep the tempo ai busi- ness at a bigh level, a touch ai foyer ta it - not qulte enough ta induce delirium. Dhfficulties Ahead Wbat bas been theXesult. The prospect is nat too hoiSeful, if anc looks farward with anticipation ta a prosperous future. Wo are In the midst ai one war - we are preparing for another. There may be soime abjection ta the praposed develapment af the St. Lawrence canals. There is, at least a question, in the minds ai thaughtiul Canadians, on Uic wisdom ai immediate action, hIa period ai full emplayment. I arn not fundamentally appas- ed ta the Keynes tbeory. There is rnuch ta ho said in its defence. There Is, however, another aide to the problem, it cails for a touch of caution. What would be the affect on parllamentary governnient and upon the attitude of the electorate? There lsaa tendency ta move from economy to extravagance. We are not likely ta get rich by thrawing away aur nioney. But wbat would cause us ta, do that? The answer ia the pressure ai public opinion. The people will demand it, the M.P.'s will be anxious for it. Once the gavernment accepts the responsibility for full employ- ment it will be compelled ta face the pressure af public opinion in favor of wide and sametimes wild expenditures.11 Under these conditions what will happen ta aur price level? The tendency will be ta farce up prices. We are an exportmng country. We may find It diii icult ta market aur praducts if high prices due ta inflated currency cuts aur own capacity ta consume. It is a time for golng slow, a time ta leave great constructive works on the economlc planning board until business is less hectie and prices lower. What'a Your Opinion? What evont in human bistory addod mast ta the prasperity af the human race? My answer la: 'the Industrial Revolution. Arn I right or wrong?
