EDWARDS ADDRESSES Y’S MEN The Y’s Men’s Club met on Fri day evening at the St. Charles Coffee Shop with the president, BertCarr occupying the chair.4 Rev. H. A. Edwards of Salford, was thes,leaker of the evening. He basedhis remarks about a quotation madeby Her Majescty Queen Elizabeth,“Though our road is ‘stony andhard, it is straight and we know thatwe fight in a great cause.” The speaker discussed co-operation inliving, in giving, in talent, and inwinning. Mr. Edwards stressed that we cannot live unto ourselves. In home,in business and in community life we must show co-operation. A nationdoes not rise higher than the homeand the home does not rise higher than the individuals making up thathome. In giving, the gift is prizedalso because of the giver. The giftwithout the giver has no meaning.Stewardship in life is important.We cannot give that which we havebut we must give our al). When “fwe co-operate our many and diversetalents there is not one thing thatwe cannot accomplish. In order to win this great cause for which wetight, there must be co-operationamong every last one of us. "Who dares think of living his life allalone?” With the stem realities oflife before us, it is the responsibility of each one to be interested in ourfellow men and may our interest gobeyond this life to things concerning that of eternity. Y’sman Gordon Warden introduced the speaker and Harold Urenvoiced the appreciation of the gathering. Frank Cragg led the sing songassisted by Ross Bigham at thepiano.

Those present were so impressed his warning, who could not be present at the lecture. From the pulpit, Rev. Springett,the guest speaker of the eveningservice, made known his appreciationfor the kind invitation of Rev. H. E.Merifield, to preach at this service.Rev. Merifield introduced Rev.Springett to the congregation, alsohis friend, Rev. Jennings of London,who took part in the evening service and closed the lecture periodwith prayer. Rev. Springett gave as his textthe fourteenth and fifteenth verses of the first chapter of St. Mark’sgospel, “The time is fulfilled,• TheKingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye . . . He said this is the messageJesus preached and commanded Hisdisciples to preach, and which we are commanded to preach. He continued:"It is now more important than everthat man should understand the real ity and importance of that message.People are in expectation today, andtherefore the message is of the greatest importance, it is a threefoldmessage. I. The time fulfilled—TheBible is the time clock of Divine Chronology, God is always on time,time is fulfilled, relating to prophecygiven to Daniel and passed on by him to the world over 400 yearsbefore the birth of Jesus, prophesying the coming of Jesus, the time being fulfilled, 1900 years ago, the?reclamation that the time had come.I. The Kingdom of God is at hand.Kingdom implies a king and a peopleover whom the King rules and a constitution and economic system under which the people exist. One day, notfar away now, the King ia comingto administer the Kingdom, to fulfill a threefold prophecy. He has alreadybeen as Prophet and Priest, andn«>w He is coming os King. TheM-prophecies belong to our day and generation and we are witnessingthese things today. The main thingfor us to remember is our relation ship with God as won for us throughthe sacrifice of our Lord. The angelsaid to Mary, the Mother of Jesus before Hia birth, that he would inherit the throne of David. HL Whenye see these things coming to passlook up for the Kingdom of God ia at hand. Repent ye . . . Advent iscoming and we will be celebratingthe first and second coming of our Lord. We received Him as a Prophetand Priest, and now we are con-with *lth H’* coming as Kingin His majesty; the time is at hand.We talk of repentance, what is it?Repentance comes from the Greek word, “metanoia” meaning an absolute change, like the transition fromchrysalis to butterfly. Tfitis change is coming to us. God is beginning towork it in us whether we realize itor not; tremendous changes ara taking place in our world, in our out ward live*, the time has come when“I will give you a new heart and anew mind and * new rairit.'’ W® can't put new wtae into oldbottle*, the world order h writtenin the Old ftaok; time >« very abort.

DUTTON HOLDS K1WANIANS SPELLBOUND At the regular meeting of theKiwanis Club on Thursday evening, Nov.. 20th, the members listened toan address of exceptional merit givenby Ed. Dutton, Woodstock naturalist. The president, H. I. Stewart wasin charge of the meeting. Dr. L. W.Staples introduced the speaker andJ. J. McLeod extended the thanksof the members who had turned outin good numbers to hear Mr. Duttontell about “Our Little Feathered Friends, the Birds.” Mr. Dutton gave a bleak pictureof what the country would be likewithout the birda, saying that we couldn’t live without them for long.He said it had been proved that wereall the birds to be removed we would not be alive in two years’time. The birds, it appears, are made to keep dotwn thousands ofdifferent kinds of insect pests in thisland. “Insects come in all the time through fruit, lumber, wools, etc.,brought in from foreign lands,” saidMr. Dutton. He continued to tell that in the past 75 years birds havedecreased some 50 per cent leavinga heavier load for the remaining ones to bear. He told of an experiencewhich he had becatgg^ birds werelacking in the Canadian^'Wcst. This incident decided his starting a birdclub in Woodstock 13 years ago. Mr. Dutton, like all lovers of nature,proved what a tender spot lay in hisheart for the little feathered friends when he spoke of juvenile casesbrought to court arising from wilful shooting of birds and robbing their nests. “The cases,” he said,become fewer and fewer as timegoes on and for the past seven years there have been none of thesecases in Woodstock." There are 72 members in theWoodstock Bird Club this year.Mr. Dutton displays rare ability,plus a good memory, in describingthe different types of birds, classi fying them as insect eaters, seedeaters, rodent-eaters, scavengers andfish caters. He interestingly told of 26 varieties of .warblers, havingtwo distinct functions, the leafwarblers and the tree warblers orcreepers, the former looking afterthe foliage and the latter lookingafter the bark of the trees. “When you see a woodpecker ona tree, don't chase him away, thereis something there that the tree doe’sn’t want, you don’t want, butthe bird does,” so explained ournaturalist friend. Hay fever sufferers will be pleasedto realize iwhat friends they have inthe seed-eating birds who clean up the weeds by the hundreds of thousands of tons each year, as Mr.. Dutton explained. He told of the snow buntings which come around in thewinter time consuming about oneounce of seed a day, so if 1,000 birds came and remained 90 days, theywould relieve us of 20 tons of weeds.He told of the value of the horned larks to the farmers, especially thisyear when there are more weeds be cause of lack of help; if it were notfor those birds the farmers wouldhave a real problem on their handsnext year, Mr. Dutton told of an incidentconnected with birds, which tookplace when His “ and Queen Elizabethat a repast, a dish M,vbreost-meat of snowbirds was offeredHis Majesty and he declined it whenhe found out of what it was com prised. Our King, a true lover ofnature, could not be a party to such wantoness. -Continuing, the speakermentioned the rodent-eating birds,the hawks and owls, which dispose ofthe weaker birds, the survival of thefittest as it is in all nature. Thesebirds, he said, had 'been mercilessly persecuted, stating that in Pennsylvania some years ago, there had beena threatening danger to the commun ity because the hawks had beenruthlessly slaughtered, and the rats and other pesto were devouring thecrops. Speaking of the fish-birds, hesaid they only ate fish which wasunfit for human consumption and hetold of the work Harry Sivyer andhe had been doing to better conditions regarding tde flsh-eating birds. He said that in Bowmanville some years ago, sportsmen had shotmost of the gulls which fed on thediseased fish near the summer cot tages, causing much unnecessarywork and expense. So he suggestsour telling misguided persons, whogrumble that this or that bird is amenace to the community, the storyof the good that these birds do and ««l reason for the existence ofall birds, how they help in cleaningaJd beautifying our beautiful O»n-sda. The least we can do is to feed our birds "For", says Mr. Dutton,surely there never was an armythat will go on and do as much for us at such a tiny cost of protectingiw and making life worth living, asthe bird army.” A report on the Boy Scout Applegiven by E. A. Webber.Wilson McBeth, who had been sent by the club members as a delegateto the Scout Convention, was a guestat the meeting. He expressed histhanks to the members. F. H.

Springett closedhis sermon to continue his talk in Weekly Newspapers Bring Personal and newspapers....................,...... „.. their local news content and the friendly coverage they give you. In their columns you find news that is not only interesting but also helpful, constructive and entertaining. Even the youngsters in the family read the weekly paper, the “weeklies” are an extensively read newspaper by everyone in the home.Your sales messages go to definitemarkets and multiplies its sale valuethrough the good will and friendlyinterest and potential buying action that is assured every advertiser. Thames street is a center wherehome interests, affections and ties are fine and strong. In a town thereare fewer diversions, more leisure,more time to take an interest in suggestions to realize their value,and so there is a 'big response toadvertising in Canada’s weeklypapers, a response that is definiteand profitable to manufacturers. You will also find ready responsefrom your newspaper publisher who will work with you in the matter ofdealer co-operation, store and window displays and other accessory* work in relation to advertising. Thames Street is not a myth, buta real, live merchandising reality. Itis a symbol of free-buying markets,stretching out in a wide embracearound Ingersoll. Our markets cryout for closer cultivation and will reward every merchant who seizesthe opportunity of concentrated coverage represented by advertisingin the Tribune. The coverage inbulky city papers is thinly spreadand cannot compare to the cheerful,friendly sale coverage given you byyour local weekly paper. The Tribune is ever spreadingout and reaping for you the town’srichest harvest of buying power. 9« 2Si!S- 73*WHMewsA l/my 's PREPARED ROSE Brand SOUR MIXED PICKLES 23* I MUSTARD1Q$17 F1- Q1- Bottle w ) s-01. ,ar OGILVIE Quality Products Special — OGILVIE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FL.°.UR 22c MAKE YOUR OWN” PORK & BEANS With Ontario Hand-Picked WHITE BEANS active, inewiseir jF iencet are part of the PRICE o f VICTORY PageSTo Equalize AvailableSupplies to our Customer*We RESERVE th« RIGHT it.LIMIT QumiIMm(If Nt w ary.OF ALL MERCHANDISEMr. A. J. iliggin of London, introduced Mr. Springett and heopened his lecture by saying howglad he was to be here in Ingersoll, to give a little encouragement to Mr.Higgins publicly, for his enthusiasmand to thank him for keeping theflag flying. He said that he was glad also to say something about theFederation. "Jt is not a cult, oran ism, or a sect or a new religion, it is not antagonistic to the churches,and does not take away membersfrom their church; you should go to your church and do the best to support it, be the leaven, spreading thegood you receive, and giving goodservice and fellowship. You go to church to worship God, not to heara sermon. If you get a good sermonthrown in, alright.” He then went on to thank Rev. Merifield for hiscourtesy and kindness, saying howgood it was of Rev. Merifield to lend the hall free of charge and that hedeserves all the help ,we can givehim in response for the kindness he has shown us. “Don't think becauseyou are members of the ’ BritishIsrael Federation that you can get > away from the church you belongto, I say this as Commissioner of theBritish Israel in Canada." Then hecontinued his lecture: “The British Empire has been engaged in the greatest struggle of alltimes. You are interested in the news as given you through the ordinary diseminating agents, correspondents at the front, usually hun dreds of miles away from the frontand who can only hand out newsthey are allowed to send out; you are satisfied to get your news fromthe newspapers instead of gettingthe real understanding of nows, a perfect preview of events unfulfilledand yet to happen—from the Bible,the word of God written by man, through inspiration, under the directguidance of God. The Bible is t>heBook of Life, the story of our nation,our race, the book of our nationgiven to us by God through inspiration and prophecy; it is the Hob- Book set apart, coming from themind of God, telling the progressiveunfolding of God’s plan. Our National leaders are realizingit. Mr. Churchill said; “We are engaged in working out some greatdesign.” He must have a blind soul who cannot see that we are servantsworking out a Divine Plan.” Mr.. Springett tells us that “Down theages, as instructed by the Book,there shall be a constant conflict, nationally as well us individually;Israel and Babylon, the two greatprotagonists; struggle in the spiritual as well as material", and he advisesus not to put too much faith in manpower or materials. “Thank God,” he said, “for Mr. Churchill and Mr.Roosevelt, but rememlber this isGod’s war, our enemies have one mind and shall make their peace withthe beast and war with the lamb.One camp says: "Might is right”; the other camp says: “Righteous isright.”“The Bishop of Chichester, Eng land, said: “Until we get a faithequal to the Nazi, we won't win!"“Their faith in Hitler and his book. Mein Kampf, borders on fanaticism.They have imbibed his teaching andif we had the same faith in the Bible that they have in Mein ’Kampf. wewould be -willing to fight or die forrighteousness.” Then he burst a bombshell by asking, ‘How many ofyou are willing to die for your faith?An» 1 willing, are you? ’’When He corneth He shall find the faith on theearth.” We say we believe in God,so does the devil! To believe in God does not mean that we believe God;or we would realize that all the conditions as written in His Book aretrue. Prophecy is not predestination,it is God’s knowledge passed on toman, of the course that events will take in the history of the world, dueto His knowledge of human nature, and this knowledge is passed on toman through inspiration, as prophecyregarding events that will take place often hundreds of years in thefuture.“There are two paths”, Mr. Springett tells us: “Man can treadeither path, take your choice, walkwhich way you will. God has given us free will and He does not forceus one way or another. We- are thepeople on whom the end of the age is come. British Israel does not predict dates. If you wish to read the21st chapter of St Luke you will find there the date symbol. Jerusalemwas delivered in 1917 when GeneralAllenby took possession and drove out the Turks. We as the BritishIsrael stand for freedom and justiceand the freedom from oppression. This war is a continuation of thelast one. There was no peace then,only a temporary armistice; 1914 to 1918 saw the great Empire systemsof the world cease. Then arose tendictators which merged into three heads. We saw the gold standard disappear. Henry Ford said to Mr.Springett; ’’One of bhese days gold will be worth so little 1 will be ableto use it for radiators for my cars!”“Once integrity of a man’s charac ter counted; a man’s word was asgood as his bond, you can’t get thatnow, can you?" Mr. Springett advised us to lookfor the signs of the times, sayingthat the last scene in the Book describes being led to battle of theGreat Day of God Almighty; .wherewill it take place? God said Hewould appoint a place for His people Israel. Under different namesand at different times the Saxonsand Normans, etc*., found their way to Britain, the Isles in the sea. Thereis a rumour that oil has been foundin Britain, if that is correct, another prophecy will be fulfilled. Also Britain has the largest crops she hasever produced, yet another prophecycome to date. If we read and study the prophecies in the Bible, therewill be much light thrown on thesethings that now appear so mysteriousto us. “No weapon against thee shallprosper." We have just celebratedthe battle of Egypt and that means the battle of the Mediterranean isnow on. Palestine will be the sceneof battle. When Hitler is beaten whst of the peace terms?

At this Christmas season allworld news loses it* significance inthe glow and spirit of the blessedBabe of Bethlehem who, born in amanger, became the King of Kings. Then- were no newspapers in thosedays to announce the great event, soGod put a Star in the heavens to show the way to that Holy Spot, andAngels heralded the Royal birth.The alarming speed of progress and the shocking news of worldevents do not overshadow that Birth, but because of the burstingtension, the taut nerves and bleedinghearts, a more vigorous inspiration is given to the old news brought upto date with each coming Christmas,and a yet deeper meaning o^ffihat that news conveyed; news. thatspread like wild fire, still spreadingand burning brightly in the hearts of man, gaining momentum andsweeping away the unworthiness,healing the scars and rebuilding after world destruction. no joy.I am yet to meet the person who, having money or worldly affectionand no experience of God in his lifecan be supremely happy.

Follow the safe way, see - - LONDON, ONTARIO Thursday afternoon the students of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute,assembled to hear a talk by P.O.Howard Yule, an ex-student, who hasrecently returned to Ingersoll fromoverseas, where for the last six or eight months he has been engagedin instructional work in _ Scotland,and previous to that in active servicein the Middle East. Mr. Bole introduced P.O. Yule who commenced histalk by reviewing his experiences of the last two years. He began his training in June,1940, at stations in the Prairie Provinces, Ottawa and then overseas. His first post in England .was coincidently in Oxford County where he finished his course and volunteered for service in the Middle East.During this time P.O. Yule was anavigator, engaging mostly in night fighting. He was stationed in theEast when for two months he wasin operational work in the desert region. This section was mainly sandinterspersed with camel scrub. Thetents were imbedded about eightfeet in the sand and heavily camouflaged. At this time he ,was put on an attachment to the island of Malta,about which he told many interesting things. This small island only 17miles in length and 5 miles in width is very densely populated. It is abeautiful island, he said. Never hadhe seen anything quite like it. TheI fields were dyked so that when the1 heavy rains came in the spring, thesoil would not be washed away. Theclimate is very warm between 75 and90. He spoke with admiration of theMaltese girls, probably the mostbeautiful women in the world, verytall and straight Their erectnesa wasdue to the fact that they always carried their bundles on their heads. One fact about Malta was that everyperson works, whether the daughter of the richest or poorest. After his work in Malta, P.O. Yule tookpart in the war in Egypt and wasstationed 300 miles east of Tripoli. He stressed here the importance oftanks in desert warfare and the vul-I nerability of the opponent if his armoured power can be crippled. Amonth’s leave at Christmas time hespent in the Holy Land .where he visited the modern city of Jerusalem, more modern than many (westerncities. While there, he had the opportunity of staying at a co-operative farm where there is no money, and business is carried on by thebarter system. After his leave he was sent toScotland where be remained until his return to Canada. At the requestof the students he told < of the cityof London and its marvellous reaction to the bombing attacks; of thecompetent work of the air raid wardens, the coupon system for therationing of clothing, and answeredmany other inquiries. P,O. Yule, ina charmingly informal way gave an entertaining and informative talkwhich was received by the studentswith keen interest..
