And yet some of them do nothing to keep up `a home paper. Saturday's market was the largest seen in Barrie for many a day. There was a splendid display of all kinds of fowl turrkeiys, geese, ducks, chicken, etc. The quality of the fowl, particularly geese and chickens, was high. There was a good de- mand and prices were well maintain- ed throughout the morning. Tur- keys appeared to be in great de- mand and brought from ..$2c to 38c a pound. Geese brought 22c to 25 while ducks and fowl sold at 20c to 23c. There were outside buyers who( bought at whatever price they could get the poultry for. Eggs were quoted at 65 a dozen, while butter brought from 38c to 40c a pound. There was a good display of beef, which sold around 12c a pound, and pork brought 17 a pound. A dis- play of basketry, grassware and other articles attracted mucn atten- tion and were much in demand, also festive Jerrusalem cherry plants. Prion: 2 mines in name in mm. The above item contains much of local interest as most of these tra- gedies, according to history, were en- acted within a short distance of Mid- land, the death of Bre-beuf and Lale- ment having occurred at Fort Ste. Marie (Old Fort) and the others at spots quite close thereto in Tay and Tiny townships. The Historical So- ciety of Ontario have taken an in- terest in a movement to preserve these sacred spots and it is expected that the organization will be able to ersuade the Government to proper- y protect them from further de- struction. The local historical so- cieties only last year made a move along this line and placed suitable tablets at a spot near Victoria Har- bor and Christian Island, the latter spot being the last stand of the Hurons as they ed before their re- lentless foes, the Iroquois, in 1647- 49, the story of which has been re- peated many times within the past few years. The first Canadian martyrs to be beatied as reported in news from Rome will be the Jesuit Fathers who were killed by the Hurons and Iroquois in the sixteenth century. They are : Jean de Brebeuf, born in Normandie, martyred in 1649 in Ontario; Gabriel Lalementt, born in Paris, killed in 1649 in Ontario; An- toine Daniel, born in Dieppe, killed in Ontario; Neol Chabanel, born in Mende, killed 1649; Charles Garnier, born in France, killed in 1649 in On- tario; Isaac Joques, born .in Orleans, killed in 1646 in United States; Rene Goupil, born in Anjoux, kill- ed in 1646 in United States; Jean de la Lande, born in Dieppe, killed in 1646 in United States. The beatication ceremonies are expected to take place some time next year. The matter was rst brought before the Congregation of Rites in Rome in 1916..

Our church leaders at that time 1 saw the danger of the situation af- ter the vote of 1911. Aft the vote of 1915, when the_ opposition to un- ion increased nearly fty per cent., unanimity was hopeless. It is the writer's rm conviction that those who have led the union movement in i the Presbyterian church since 1915 have proved themselves unworthy of the rank of leaders-hiip. A proper leader should, to some considerable extent, foresee the result of his leadership. If the union leaders since 1915 did not foresee the strife and contention of to-day they had not the mental capabilities required for true leadership. If they did foresee what has been patent to most they have been sadly lacking in spiritual leadership, which should at least encourage love and peace. There was harmony and peace be- fore that time, existing among the various denomination-s, but while union, in name, will be consummated there is sadly lacking a spirit of unity and peace. I know the union- ist leaders put all the blame for the situation to-day upon those opposed to union, but were they correct in that contention, which, in my opin- ion, is utterly false. That does not redeem them from their lack of fore- sighrt.

Some leading unionists have already openly sneer- ed at the Westminister Confession even though they had vowed to main- tain it.

The real crux of the situation is that thr new creedal basis will be at the mercy of this same class in the general coiun-cil. Those who go into union will in a short time run the risk of not knowing what to be- lieve. Imagine any church being: successful under the leadership of men who are now repudiating, in part, the standartls of faith in their church anl yet accepting; its emolu- ments. 1 nknII11l Ln n-1....) tn nan #1.... .......
