Circus On Tuesday Drew Big Crowds THE PROGRAM ONE, i y parks circus was the. pig event in Listowel this week 4 = tracted large crowds to town ues a ; . ° ™ Fd sant big tent Fie! at: £ so ante at-night. - Comparatively epee lias, the Sparks show is clean and good. »They had a fine bunch of horses hnd there was nothing amateurish to their afternoon and evening performance. Ig was a big day, especially for the kiddies. When the train arrived at the sta- tion about four o’clock in the morn- ing, there were scores of the job waiting to see them unload. Littl time was wasted and when most of the citizens were out of bed, the nu- merous tents had been pitched at the water works park. The horses were already harnessed and those that drew the big wagons, at least twenty-four in number, were all in the one car. There was~<no room for them to lie down and if-all were like the one nearest the door, foot of each was strapped to the floor. They were a tired looking lot of horses as théy walked down the! gangway from the car Even while in the park, hitched to the waggons, a number of the horses laid down to rest and nibble the grass. But circus life for the men is about as strenuous. The big tents that were pitched in the morning had to come down at night and with the big string of waggons and other matertal, were loaded on the special train and off for London by midnight. Of the animals, the string of ele phants were perhaps the most in- teresting. doing the heavy pulling. It also car tried in baled hay, two bales a’ time and broke them open ready . use by snapping the wire with @ts trunk. It was remarkuble the in- telligence they showed and how effi- cient they were at the work given them despite their clumsiness. Mrs. Dowd Is New W.C.T.U.

Referring to the work of Healer pe ese Sha Mail and Empire says editorial vane ‘the results of Mr. Hickson’s mission to this city are to be vastly different from the results which have attended_his work elsewhere there Several months ago, and again quite recently, The Mail and Empire re- lated {mn the fourth column the mir- acul@@s recoveries directly traceable to.the ministrations of this extraor- dinary man. As.important as the actual cures must be the influence upon the whole community of Mr. Hickson’s visit and his message. It -} Must direct the thoughts of all except the most flippant to the shore thal © Of faith, and lift minds above the day affairs into the spiritual realm. Mr. Hiékson has no explanation of the seeming miracles wrought except that everyone can-find in the Bible. Certain conditiohs are necessary for the performance of miracles. ‘In the case of those treat- ed by Mr. Hickson just two are re- quired. First, the healer himself must have the utmost faith in the divine power, for which he is, so to speak, the conducting medium. Sec- ond, the person treated must believe that God will restore hig faith. Grant- ing the presence of these vital factors, Mr. Hickson says there can be no failure. Mr. Hickson contributes his share of the mysterious power of healing by his own absolute faith. One would expect that as the number increases of the cases successfully treated the healer’s faith would become intensi- fied, but we must remember that there was a time when he had no record of cures to sustain him, and proceeded on the untried but sure faith of a Christian in the truth of the promises of the Bible. What a wonderful lifting up of the heart and the mind there must have been when he first practised his gift, both on bisa. own part and on the part of the patient! The Bible is full of promises that shall be realized to us according to our faith. To those who knock the door will be opened. As a rule, we refer these promises to matters of the spirit. Mr. Hickson says they One of these helped mat+ apply equally to the body, and that erlally in putting up the big tents, bv] th= body and the spirit are one, and through the spirit the body is The faith necessary must be works. It will not sufficient for a patient merely to say he believes he will get well. He must believe ia Jesus Christ, and he cannot believe in Him unless he leads a Christian life, and proves his faith by his acts. These conditions must be recognized by all Christians as truly health-giving. ‘Rev. Dr. Hazen Attended Funeral of Wm. .ivffrey Rev.
