TEE CANAIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVIML, ONTARIO ATRIP TO ENGLiID By Rev. L. H. Turner, Newcastle ARTICLE XIX What memories the atmosphere of this coastal city, West Hartle- pool conjures up! The shopping .Mecca of citizens fromn inland towns and villages. Hesleden, sometimes designated Castle Eden Colliery, is one of these commer- cial tributaries, the birtbplace of the writer. Hesleden, the place famous for Its nuts - i.e,, bazel- nuts-please, dear reader, limit It ta the hazel variety. Well does the writer remember the bigh expectancy of the members of the family awaiting the return of Mother and Dad with the week- end groceries-butter and eggs fromn the Home and Colonial Store, tea from Thomas Lipton & Sons, fruit severely limited ia quantity though not in variety, with oranges topping the bill. Those were the days wben the sweeter cousin of the lemon ap- peared on the menu once a week, and that at the week-end. In a family of ten inciuding Mother and Dad the ration was one each. That famiiy "net" bag laden with good things was aiways welcome. A new record for the old phono- graph (Edisan's barrel type) was eagcrly awaited. One espccialiy tickled the musical paiate-"For Mary Took the Caives to the Dairy Show, ta the Daimy Show, and Farmer Green said that b'd neyer, never seen sucb wonderful calves like Mary's." Sunday morn- ing the oranges were apportion- cd as a prelude to breakfast. Breakfast on Sunday morning was ealy the event of the wek ., Sunday ciothes, which bad been carefuily brushed and pressed the week before, were donned-sboes sbining esplndently in their mentie of "blacking,' the wbistle adorning the pockct of the boy's sailor suit, the latter desîgned and ceated by the deft fingers and artistie mmid of a marvellous mother. Over the "green" ta chapel services morning and ev- ening, wîtb the afternoon Sunday Scbool sandwicbed in betwecn. Well does your writer together witb his younger brother Albert Victor remember that. beautifult "'shot-silk" dress worn by that littie lady the high-pmiestess of the home as hand in band she sbep- herded us to the village chapel-E eight of us, five boys and three girls. If theme was a social cal- endar it was limited ta the dlaims of home. Oh, yes, that lovelyt dress-bow co-operative the sun was in bringing out its seemingly ever-cbanging hues-golden, blueE and then an admixture of bath. No queen ever looked more beau- tiful. Yes, the family pew wa§; quite an institution, the wbole famiiy1 acknowledging Uts clainis. Mother and Dad togetherivith the young- er members, with the older off- spring i the pew iffmediateiy in front. The strntegy o! this ar- rangement will be obviaus ta the reader. Dad Turner was a good fellow basicaily, possessing a few weak- fesses in bis armor. His "Achil- les beel" was expmessed in bis aversion ta the "wearing o! the cap," evea if it wns a perfect fit. Something said by the minister wbich might be particularly ap- plicable ta hlm, altbough sent forth as a generalization, would increase bis tempemature almost ta the point of explosion, and be would vow "neyer ta set foot in that chapel agaîn." O! course, the "cooling off" period complete- ly erased it from bis mi. Did he ever dmeam that anc day a son o! bis would be "wearinig the clotb." A pramineat minister o! a de- cade or so ago relatcd this cx- perience ta your scribe. Possessed o! an influencial pulpit ia the City o! Toronto, an observation expressed by way o! a genemai- izatian more than imked the sen- sibilities o! a prominent and weaitby lady o! tbe congregation. Following custom on this Sunday evening, the good Doctor made bis way ta the exit at the conclus- ion o! the service ta extend the pastoral bandsbake. Uitimately thîs congregational woman o! weigbt reacbecf the exit and witb eyes fiashing fire and personaliy possessed o! a more than indig- nant mien, witb pince-nez poised asked, "Dr. Sa-Sa, did you mean me in yaur sermon tonight?" "My dear lady," said tbe unruffled ciemic, 'éJoný't flatter youirself." Tbe immigrant son sat in tbat family pew together witb brother Will on this memorabie visit. Dust, ta be sure, yct sacred dust. Dear worsbipper, neyer become unduly aiarmed if there is a skimn o! dust garmenting your pew- it's sacred, worth a tbousand dol- lars a cubic foot. This constituted hoiy ground impregnable in its sanctity forever, "Turner Ter- main." As be sat thére those godiy men, "local preachers" la the main, interspersed by the quar- terly vîsit o! the circuit minister, fiooded back la memory. Some o! them did mutilate the King's Engiish, but they were absoluteiy sure o! their "citizensip"-thcy were in very truth a "colony o! Heaven." Not alone did they periodîcally violate the canven- tional Eaglish, but tbey alsa radiated and transferred the unctian o! the Holy Spirit. Their earnestness was more than chai- lenging. The debt the Turner family owes ta this little chapel is Incalculable. The choir was s0 arranged that tbe choristers looked inta the couaitenance o! the preacher, thus affording mutual inspiration. O! course, when anthems were rend- ered the singers turned about, facing the congregation. As a boy the writem verily beiieved that this choir outsbaae anythîag West- minister Abbey could muster or stately St. Paul's Cathedrai. The collective influence for good the chapels have effected thmoughout the land cannot be inadequateiy measured. The Canadian Cburch counts many o! ber ministers wbo were initiated into the atmosphere o! goodness by these "Noncanform- ist" Bethels a! Prayer.

Back again at West Hartiepool, awaiting the advent o! the "flyer" which bas the metropolis of Lon- don as its destination. The glass paning of the domelike structive over-arcbing the station is con- spicuaus by its absence. The skelton framework is theme, but the glass is gone. Enemy action, diabolical la its conception and ruthless in its execution, is me- sponsible. Your amanuensis remembers an expemience which befeli this city during Worid Wam I. A naval unit o! the German fleet "bottled up" in Hciigoland managed ta elude the British blockade, mak- ing its way nortb and uitimateiy anchoming before the city. For bai! an boum Oid Tirpitz pumped shelis inta it, causing a good deal o! damage. The rumblings and Don't Turn Your BACH to SCHOOL Kids! Now that school's open drivers must be extra careful.

As a resuit of this the writer wound up in the baggage car, finding exile there.

Say, you baven't the rcmotest idea o! what bard times reaiiy are - you with your automobile, and your telephone, and your fumnace heat, and, youm porcelain bath tub, and your radio. HoW'd you like ta haul your forty-cent wheat ten ta fifty miles by ox- team when the mnercury was !orty below, and seli the whole bloom- ing load for lcss money than you pay for the tank full o! gas, and ail for your automobile today? How'd you like ta stand round a barrel and be tbankful if you drew a moth-eaten avercoat con- tributed by a feilow back east. Or a pair o! patched shoes that you wouldn't wear even in these bard times. How'd like ta be snowed in for a montb or two ia a sod bouse or a wînd-swcpt wabbly wooden sback, burning cow chips or straw for fuel, and subsiding on boiled wheat and sowbeily, in- stead o! sitting around the radio, listening to gaod music, or read- ing the papers and magazines that were deiivered ta your door that day by the local carrier travelling over open roads la an auto- mobile? Who are you anyway ta be bol- lerin' about bard times? Better a good crop and steady prices, than ta sec every green tbing on your place caten by grasshop- pers. But you'Ill probably go ahead hoilein' about bard times while you are spending more for gas and oil and tires than it cost your father ta rear and educate a family. Dad and inother reared a family around a cookstove in the kitchen, and batbed tbem- selves and the cbildren la a wood- en bath, but you gat ta bave furnace heat, shower baths, inaide toilets and poroelain tubs. and yet you bolier your heads off about trnes being biard. Sa, you give the oldtlmers a definiteiy bot pain. Wby, they used ta ent mush for breakfast and think tbey w4re living like kings. Now, you seli a bushel of corn for about a dollar, and buy it back in the shape of cereals put up in fancy packages, and pay for It at the rate o! forty bucks n bushel - and bolier about bard times. The oldtimers used ta kil their own hogs and cure their own bacon, but you are so danged busy hoilerin' about bard times that yau seli your hogs for about thirty dollars on the boof, and then buy your bacon ail wrapped Up in fancy boxes, and pay for It at the rate of ninety dollars a hundred. We used ta pay about from $1.75 ta $2.50 for a pair of shoes that were meant for wear and not for looks, but betweea your spasms o! hollerin' about bard times you pay from $7 ta $15 for a pair of sboes for their looks. Wben mother paid 35e for n pair of catton stockings, father used ta look worried, but if you can't wear nylons at $1.75 a pair you tbînk life is without joy. Hard times, my eye!
