Here is . an editorial which appeared in Har- per's in 1857. Recéntly it was copied 'as an editorial in Collier's. On Mon- day night, C. A. Mayberry read the. editorial during the course of an ad- dress to local Masons at a Past Mas- ters' Night dinner in the Masonic Temple. In reading it, just forget that it re- fers to conditions three-quarters of 'a century ago. That won't be diffi- cult, because the editorial might eas- ily be taken as of recent. writing. It is a gloomy moment in history. Not in many years, not in the life of most men who read this paper, has there been so much grave and deep apprehension. Never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time. In our own country there is universal commercial and panic and thousands of our pre- sent fellow-citizens are turned out against the approaching without employment and without the prospect of it. In France the political cauldron seethes and bubbles with © uncertainty. Russia -hangs, as usual, like a cloud dark and silent upon the horizon of Europe, which all the en- ergies, resources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried -- and are yet to be tried more sorely in coping with the vast deadly Indian insurrection and with the disturbed relations in China. "It is a solemn moment and no man can feel an indifference (which happily no man pretends to feel) in the issue of events. "Of our own troubles, no one can see the end. They are fortunately as yet mainly commercial and if we are only to lose money and by pain- ful poverty to be taught wisdom-- the wisdom of honor, of faith, of sympathy and charity--No man need seriously despair, and yet the very haste to be rich which is the occas- sion of this wide-spread calamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces. with which we are to resist and subdue the calamity." STIRRING ADDRESS A large crowd heard Evangelist Torrie at the Memorial Baptist Church last night and heard a very soul-stirring sermon, Mr. Torrie used as his theme, "Why Are Men Lost?" and based his remarks on John 5:40. The speaker centred his address around five headings, two indirect reasons why men are lost, and three direct reasons. It is no because Jesus Christ is in- sufficient for them, he said, and it is not because He is not willing to save them. The cause is in the people themselves. First, because of an ig- norance of Jesus Christ, secondly because people do not realize they need Him, and lastly because of the stubborn will. Mr. Torrie preaches the old fash- ioned Gospel in the old fashioned way, and at all times magnifies Jesus Christ and Calvary's Cross. His ad- dresses are very inspiring and heart gripping. Mr. J. H. Leonard sings the old fashioned Gospel hymns and adds much to the inspiration of the meet- ings, There is a special treat in store for those who attend the meeting to- night. In addition to the Booster Choir, the Sunday School orchestra, and the beautiful pictures on the Life of Christ there will be a male quar- tette from Listowel in attendance and will sing several numbers. This quartette is being rated as one of the best in Western Ontario and will be worth while hearing. Mr. Torrie will give an object ad- dress which promises to be very in- teresting. He will have different ob- jects on the platform to illustrate his theme. The meetings begin at 7.45 p-m. sharp. ~ Sustain Reputation prostration ~° winter - THE STRATFORD MIRROR As Splendid Hosts The C.-N. R. Apprentices are known as splendid hosts. An invitation to their "At Home" has always been a harbinger of a night of entertainment and pleasure. This year's "At Home," which was held in the assembly hall of the col- legiate institute last week, was up to the standard of previous "At Homes." W. C. Sealy was chairman of the evening, who welcomed the _ guests and introduced A. H. Williams of Mon- treal, General Supervisor of Appren- tice Training over the whole system. After commending the Stratford Ap- prentices upon their standing in their studies, Mr. Williams presented awards won at the Canadian National Exhibition to four Apprentices, Aus- tin Wake, Frank Upton, Mel Watson, and Arnold Robinson. A high-class program of vocal and instrumental numbers was_ given. Artists taking part in the program in- cluded the members of the C. N. R. Brass Quartette, E. House, A. Shaw, C. Kelly, and B. Gibbons; Miss Lillian Salisbury; Miss Verna Siegel; C, Maynard; Mis. Georgia Cullis Newell. The guest artist of the evening was Miss Violet Murray of Toronto. Frank S. Walker and C. T. Newell played the accompaniments for the artists. Following the program, dancing was enjoyed. The winners of the spot dance were Frank Shaw and Miss Verna Siegel. Wanted Silent Salesman | But Applicant Could Talk Mr. Zurbrigg, proprietor of the T. V.} B. Bread Co., advertised the other day | for a "silent salesman." Thp first' applicant to Mr. Zurbrigg's great sur- prise was a gentleman who phoned to say he was out of a job and would be pleased if he would consider his application. When this gentleman was informed of the fact that it was a silent salesman the advertisement called for he may have even then won- dered what good a "silent salesman" would be in any business. Silent salesman of course, is only another name for a show case. Part of every salesman's stock and trade, at that, should be to know when to keep sil- ent. Very often a salesman talks himself out of a good order. We do not know as to whether Mr. Zurbrigg was successful in procuring a silent salesman or not, but we do know that his customers are his best salespeople.
