Sermonette by Rev. W. J. H. Smyth, with a practical application He who spoke these words knew whereof He spoke for He gave him- - self a living sacrifice. Do we believe it is more blessed to give than to receive? If we did, good causes would never lack support. This world is supplied with ample re- sources to meet the needs of all, but there seems to be a serious lack in distributing and sharing. Some times generosity is hindered because of ab- stract and nebulous appeals. Usually the, concrete story of need enlists the sympathetic support necessary to re- lief. . Here is a concrete case of need. Our Western neighbours are again in great need. ' 142 municipalities are without crops. The Oshawa Presbtyery as well as other Presbyteries of the United Church proposes to relieve this need. On October 18th, there will be loaded at Whitby, by Oshawa Presby- tery, a carload of apples and vege- tables for shipment to the West to be wisely distributed: by those fitted to do it impartially, Apples should be packed in barrels and vegetables in sacks. All those desiring to aid in this good Samaritan work are requested to get in touch with Mr. T, W. Dix, Mr, 8. Jeffrey or Mr. Wm. Graham, who will look after the'shipping arrangements, Let the matter be dealt with promptly and liberally. # Remember the Hot Fowl Supper on Tuesday, Oct, 15th, at Seagrave. ST.

Hern, of Port Perry, was initiated into Prince Albert Lodge, AF. & ALM. This lodge is now out of existence, but Mr. Hern still con- tinued an active member of Fidelity Lodge, No. 428, Port Perry. In honor of this anniversary Mr. Hern received the following letter from the Grand Master. Dear Bro. Hern: The fact has just been brought to my attention that on Saturday of this week you will celebrate .the sixtieth anniversary of your initiation into Freemasonry. This occasion is so noteworthy that I am writing to you to extend the congratulations and best wishes not only of your Grand Master but also of the whole of the Grand Lodge. From the standpoint of lapse of time alone the occasion would be unique; but to length of days you have added a long career not only of faith- ful attendance at the lodge meetings but also during all these years you have been a shining example in your own life of what true Masonry means. Your brethren do well to honour you. I hope you will accept this letter as a genuine expression of esteem and good wishes from the Grand Master. Trusting that the evening of your days may be filled with every happi- ness, I am, Sincerely and fraderndily yours, Frank A, Copus, Grand Master.

'During the last British 'elections our advices were that Great Britain was facing disasterous financial trouble which caused the McDonald and Bald- win parties to unite in an effort to save the situation. What has happened in the meantime?" My own impres- sion is that the United States, uncon- sciously through her selfish enact- ments has been the major factor in bringing about better conditions throughout the British Empire, / The United States did not learn her lesson - from she peculiar German anomaly, viz.'the more the nations concerned exacted from German, the richer she (Germany) became, and thus would more speedily develop com- mercial menace. The United State demanded fron her best customer, Great Britain, that she pay her war debt in gold, refusing to accept goods. This forced Great Britain off the gold standard causing a depreciation of the pound of ap- proximately 40% and a shrinkage in the Canadian dollar, in sympathy with the pound from 15% to 20%. The monetary change stimulated British manufacture, and her experts, especially to the U. S. rapidly in- creased, and owing to the adverse exchange of U, S. funds, American export business became alarmingly reduced. G. B, was in a position to employ more labor while U. S, (con- ceded the world's richest republic) added hundreds of thousands to. her unemployed. / Through the several treaties effect- ed with G. B, and Colonies Canadian exporting in several commodities are considerably increasing and there is every reason to believe conditions are gradually improving, as our present established markets are becoming During the past week one of our Port Perry prominent (Liberal) citizens while discussing business with a manager of a financial concern in Toronto West, was shown invoices of three large orders repre- senting goods valued at about $40,000 being shipped to South Africa, Austra- lia andWNew-Zesland. We had hoped on Mr. Roosevelt's inauguration, he would have enter- tained international co-operation, he having announced his willingness to discuss matters relative to reciprocal trading. To be of any service, stabilizing of exchange was needed, and this the President refused to do. At any rate, as far as receiving any benefit through shipping farm produce is concerned, we should not look for, since the American farmers were as- sured, during the recent presidential campaign, by their President, under no circumstances would the tariff on farm produce be lowered. Rigid public economy and patience are the two outstanding essentials to bring us out of the slough of des- pondency.

A, Cameron, Marguerite Alberta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sweetman, Scugog, to Donald Sidney Lewis, of Scugog. . Myrtle Station Fire completely destroyed the gen- eral store and adjoining buildings be- longing to Mr, J. E. Beacock, of this village, early Friday morning. Loss is estimated at about $10,000. Cause unknown. When Mr. Beacock arose. about 6.40 a.m; on Friday morning he noticed the smell of smoke and saw it hovering over the fields to the west, He was unable to see the store from the house, because of the old Bank building which stands between. He walked down to make sure the store was alright and he saw smoke coming out the north upstairs window, which was the only window open. He im= mediately called for help, and a pass- ing motorist stopped and blew his 1 of Seagrave, were in 'the village on arouse the village, who happened to be up early, was the first man to respond and helped to Mr. Barl "Beadle, give the alarm. In a very short time almost the whole village was on hand to help save what they could, Mrs. Beacock showed great preseses« GH mind in knowing just where to find &ll the valuables belonging to the Post Office, which were saved, together with the Post Office boxes which were carried out by the men, also the mail bags. What little stuff that was car- ried out of the store was damaged or burned afterwards. The Brooklin Fire Brigade was called and arrived in re- help to the store, as thé fire had made too great a headway for anyone to check the maddening blaze, although they were ready to protect the village if the fire spread. The wind being in the north saved the adjoining property. The post office was moved to Mr, Beacock's house and that business was carried on as. usual, This is the second time Mr. and Mrs. Beacock have had this harrowing experience, for their store was burned down just twenty-four years ago. Their many friends sympathize with them in their heavy loss, which was partially covered with insurance. Miss Kathleen Reaves, of Toronto, spent the week end and holiday with Miss M. Martin. Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, of Colborne, and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Scott, of Ham- ilton, were holiday visitors of Mr; and Mrs. John Quinn. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Chisholm dnd Mrs, D. Leury enjoyed a motor trip to Pontypool last Sunday, where they visited with old friends. | Col, and Mrs. Jobb, of Oshawa, ulso Mrs, Hockridge, of Dundalk, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Beacock on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Houston of Toronto spent the week end with them. Mr. and 'Mrs. E. Masters and family were visitors to Pontypool on Sunday.

'Mr. Elmer Cook, who had many tools stolen from his garage sometime ago, has' been fortunate in having about $20.00 worth of the tools re- turned. They were found in the possession of a man who was assested last week in a nearby town. Next Sunday Church service will be dat 7 p.m. and Sunday School at the usual hour of 1.45. y The announcement of the anniversary date which appeared last week was a mistake.
