Barrett Speaks Sunday Night on "The Signs of Our Times" The weather throughout the ten days of camping at the Adventist meeting has heen Ideal. A great many of those attending have ex- pressed appreciation of the beauty of our volling country with its or- chards, gardens and many splendid homes. The one thing that does not seem to call forth economiums of praise is the stretch of road on the highway within thecity limits. At the Sabbath services (Saturday morning) which was led hy Pastor L. F. Passebois, the people In a spirit of consecreation rededicated themselves in the pushing of the Advent message in this generation and at a call for means to send more missionaries to the many people who are sounding the "Macedonian Call," the sum of $3,336.81 'was raised in a few minutes' time. The Sabbath School on the grounds collected a total of $175 as a further aid to push the work on the firing line of Missions endeavor. It is surprising to learn that from "a penny a pupil" a few years ago, that the Sabbath Schools of the de- pomination gathered the sum of $2,- 488,857.50 during the year of 1926. Sunday afternoon a stream of aptos were following each other to- ward the VonGunten Fox Farm where a favorable place was found in the running stream to baptize in. Seven people were immersed in bap- tisin after the pattern of their Lord. Quite a large number of both campers and ministers left Sunday ternoon for their homes and some or other meetings of like kind in ther conferences. Pastor D. J. C. Barrett filled the pulpit Sunday might and spoke on "The Signs of Our Times," looking at them from a prophetic viewpoint. The speaker compared the condi- tions among the nations of today, who in their strenuous efforts to avoid complications, were fat this time of tenttion fully justifying the Biblical term "distress among the nations with perplexity." The speaker called attention to the re- cent floods and inundated areas covering nearly a million acres, also the heavy marine disasters, the re- suits of the numerous storms that have been sweeping the coasts and declared they were fulfilling God's Word, "the sea and the waves roar- ing." Mr. Barret; next called attention to the social conditions of today when the movies and pleasure-mad throng have forgotten the family altar, when the stress of cares and the bread and butter question draws the parents away from the family union of interest. In these times children are large- ly left to themselves or to the street whilst the Lodge or some social function demands the presence of the parents at the sacrifice of the chumship that used to exist in the olden times. Another feature of Mr. Barrett's remarks was his plea to give atten- tion to the admonition of St. Paul, 2 Timothy 4: 1-4, "to preach the Word, "because," said the speaker, the ears of the fashionable church- goer of today are "ticklde" with illustrati and incidents from the lives of men who have made them a pame, whilst the life that crucified natural tendencies for the uplift of others, the only pattern seat of Heaven, is largely mnezlected. This last night of the Campmeet- ing closed what the campers one and all declared to have heen a very pro- fitable convention. The heanty thanks of the Conference and their appreciation was expressed for the uniform kindness and courtesy shown the campers by Press, city merchants and meighborhood. We learn that the Onuntarip Con- ference plans to hold a large Tent Effort in the city of London, On- tario, July 23-21 inclusive for the benefit of those living in the wes- tern part of our province who found it too far from their special inter- ests to come to Oshawa. We hope that their next effort will be as suc- cessful as the one in our midst. girl came into the draw- where her mother was A little ing room, sitting. "Mummy." she said "I want to marry Bobby."

PERTH MAN KILLED WHEN A MOTOR GAR RUNS INTO DITCH Brother Has Arm and Leg Broken--Coroner is Notified TRAVELLING FAST Amherstburg Man Has His Neck Broken When Car Runs Off Road Perth, Ont.,, July 10.--A fatal automobile accident occurred near here hetween 11.30 and midnight Saturday on the Carleton Place road, about one mile and a half from Perth, when a car driven and owned hy Clarence Peters ran into the ditch and overturned, causing the death of James Traynor, one of the passengers, and breaking the arm and leg of Fred Traynor, a brother, Of the other two occupants of the car, F. Buskley escaped un- injured and Peters, the driver, was able to escape from the wreck and signal a car for assistance, hegging the occupants to get Dr. Hagyard and the coroner, Dr. Dwyer. Upon returning to the scene of the acci- dent, Peters collapsed and was un- conscious for ahout 12 hours. The car was coming from Ottawa toward Perth, where all the occu- pants live, and 140 feet from where the wreck occurred, was nearly in the ditch on the left-hand side of the road going at a high rate of speed. Peters then pulled the car over when it skidded into the ditch on the right side and hit a small tree, causing it to turn turtle and pinning the occupants underneath. When Traynor was found he had a very bad cut in the back of his neck, evidently caused by broken windshield and a portion of the car lay across his throat, his skull being crushed. Death was evidently instan- taneous. -- -----w. PREMIER MAY BE CHAIRMAN OF WATERWAYS COMMITTEE Ottawa, July 10--In connection with the final report on the St. Lawrence waterways and power project which is expected in a few weeks from the In- ternational Board of Engineers, the rumor is being revived here that Pre- mier Mackenzie King will take the position of chairman of the national advisory committee which is to deal with the economic aspects of the pro- posal. When Right Hon. George P. Graham resigned from the chairman- ship some months 'ago, it was pro- phesied in some quarters that the Prime Minister would succees him and it is said present indications bear this cut. Kevin O'Higgins, Attacked Near His Home is Shot Down By Three Men in a Motor Car--Had Dispensed Usual Escort -- Father Was Victim of Assassin in 1923 Dublin, July 10.--Kevin O'Hig- gins, known as 'The Strong Man" of the Irish Free State, was shot down today and killed by assassins As In the case of another "strong man," Michael Collins, his murder- ers lay in wait for him and as he was walking alone from his home at Black Rock, a short distance from Dublin to mid-day mass, an autn- mobile pulled up beside him and three men pumped hullets into him. The assassins drove away, and thus far have escaped the police, As he lay on the road mortally wounded, O'Higgins, vice-president of the Free State Counell Minister of Justice and Foreign AWairs:, gasp- el out: *'I forgive them all" Nothing could be dong 10 staunch the flow of blood which was stream- ing from half a dozen wounds, Four bullets had gone through his neck, one passed into his chest and anoth- er through the ear into the hase of tae hrain, Hut the sorely wounded man re- tained consciousness and to those ahout him said: "I am dying at peace with my enemies. [ die for my ccuntry. 1 go to join Michael Collins." Dispensed With Escort Mr. O'Higgins was usually accom- panied by a detective, but today when starting for the Booterstown Catholic church for mass, he told his escort for the first time in threa years to remain at home. He was taken entirely by surprise when at- tacked. The first shot struck him in the abdomen, but he managed to stagger across the road where he collapsed. His assailants fired five or more other bullets into his head and body before springing into the '| car and driving furiously away. The first to reach the wounded Minister were Eamon Fleming, an official of the Ministry of Finance, his brother, and Prof. John Mac- Neill, former Minister of Education, Fleming raised his head and Kev- in whispered huskily: "They've got me, just as they got my father," and later--*'I forgive them. | die at peace with my enemies and my God." Turning to Prof. MacNeill he said: "There is no hope, I want to dictate my will." Dictates His Will MacNeill knelt on the blood- stained footpath and in a clear voice 0'Higgins dictated his will, leaving everything he possessed to his wife and baby daughter, The best surgeons in Dublin were summoned to his home where he was taken, but they could do noth- ing to save his life. Despite his terrible wounds his mind remained clear to the end and the doctors marvelled at his vitality, He em- hraced his wife and child and said farewell to scores of friends, "Kevin, while there's life there's hope," one of them said encourag- ingly. "Ah! there is no hope," the Min- ister declared In his old cynical manner. "But I was always a bit of a diehard." "Irish Mussolini" Kevin O'Higgins was known as the Irish Mussolini on account of the strong measures he adopted for suppressing the Republican attempt to smash the Free State by force of arms. He was probably the most respected and at the same time the most hated man in Ireland. A nephew of Governor Tim Healy, he shared the Governor's gift of in- cisive, and bitter speech, Combined with this was a keen analytical mind and an inflexible will, But for him it is considered doubtful if the Free State could have survived the civil war of 1922. The dead Minister was always particularly outspoken in his (de- nunciations of the Republicans and the De Valera party in his political speeches, and for this and other rea- sons was provided with police pro- tection when he went about, A particularly touching coinei- dence is that his assassination fol- lows the similar fate of his father, Dr. O'Higgins, who was shot dead by armed raiders in his own home in 1923. The assassination of Kevin O'- Higgins recalls a long series of simi- lar crimes having to do with Ire- land between 1019 and 1922. Michael Collins , General Sir Henry Wilson, Thomas MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork, the Lord May- or and former Lord Mayor of Lim- erick, Miss Barrington, daughter of Sir Charles Barrington, Frank Brooke, member of the Privy Coun- cil, Alan Bell, a Magistrate; Major Neilson, Brigadier-General Adam- son and many others appointed to enforce the law of the realm are counted among the victims. The death of Mr. O'Higgins brings added grief to Governor-General Healy, whose wife died last Friday. Michael Collins was chief of the Provisional Free State Government when on August 22, 1922, he was shot dead from ambush at Bandon County Cork, on the eve of his mar- riage. He was 31 years of age. Just ten days before this occurred, (Continued on page 8) Cp inthe: Interurban Service towns NTERURBAK Service jis as CALL THESE NEARBY TOWNS fis Interurban Service
