Wtfdne day Oct. 29, 1924 THE FI.ESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESlfERTON ADVANCE W. H. THITRSTON, Editor ENF<»K( K WITHOIT FAVOR W*""'*** â- ^^'•^m^ Ma»«>«^M The Twas and Tlirees, Or Christ's Relation to the Church of To-Day I The result of the plebiscite vote on Thursday la»t, which gave the O.T.A. , a majority around 40,000, will mean a lot of work nnd worry to Premier Ferguson and Attorney - General Nickle to enforce the act. It was stated by the former that if the O.T. A. had a majority he would see that it was more strictly enforced than it j â- was durint; the past year. No doubt | there will he difficulties unnumbered i to climb ovcT when the country,' is not ^ solidly behind the Temperance Act, ' but as the i)eople have now made their decision it should be rigidly en- forced without fear or favor to any one. One way to help gain control of the booilefrsrer is to make the pen- alty heavy enough vrith jail sentence or fine to discourage the trafficking; not a fine that would act as a license and repeated several times, all the while the bootlegger making big money by his illicit traffic, but one that would make the law-breaker think of the consequences of his ac- tions. While it is known that the amount of whi-sky consumed is not as great as it was .«ome years ago there is still too much done in soiling poisonous concoctions, and the only way to stop the traffic is to go rough shod for the offenders. If Premier ' Ferguson wields a heavy hand over this illicit traffic and deals hoavily with the law breaker, no doubt wlien ' the next election conies around he will have a brighter chance of re- election than if he failed to do so. "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there 1 «"i in the midst of them." Matt. 18.20. "Where two or three" It is often thought that Christ ia more likely to be found where large numbers gather. This, however, is not usually so. Think of the large gatherings in our cities. What are they gathered for? In general it is for the participation in some worldly pleasure, or amusement as the thea- tre, the picture show, the dance- hall true worshipper of Jehovah. What 1 wish to assert and maintain is this: that the Spirit of God as met within the Holy of Holies was altogether more vital to the Israelite than when met with elsewhere. Accordingly we say that: while believing Him to be present in the heart and home of every Christian believer, we also declare that Christ manifests himself in a i\'al v.ay to those who gather in His name. "In the Midst uf Them." and so forth. Now can we imagrine The promise of Jesus is: That He Christ as being present in such will be in the midst of those who as- gatherings as these? i semblc in His name.

"I will not are we not much more likely to find leave you comfortless: I will come to them in some small Mission Hall you, â€" But the Comforter, which is the where two or three faithful workers Holy Ghost, whom the Father will are toiling to bring to the Saviour send in My name. He shall teach you the lost and erring souls of hmuanity all things," John 14: 18-26. This Think of the great evangelical re- vivals of the past: have they been brought about by whole congrega- tions beseeching the throne of grace? or has it not been the faithful few, who, feeling the burden of souls upon them, have turned aside into some quiet place to prevail in prayer and to bring down the shower of blessing. We begin to see, then, that it is not promise was fulfilled at Pentecost. Here again we saw the faithful few meeting to pray for the fulfilment of the words of Christ." Ten whole days they continued in prayer when sud- denly the gracious Spirit was given to the Church for all time. This Gift so precious â€" How he has been neglected!

Special sin},^injj will feature the meetings. A collec- tion will be taken to defray expenses Rev. Mr. Loney is an evangelist of vast experience. A great soul-winner. His message is characterized by its (|uiet persistant appeal. There is nothing of the sensational or hysterical, but the pure Gospel is declar- ed in a striking and convincing manner. Come and Hear for Yourself and Bring a Friend Rev. Loney will address the Flesherton church on Sun- day morning, Nov. 2nd at 11 o'clock. Buried On Friday Shoi t reference was made last week to the death of Mrs. Wm. Clay- ton, the oldest citizen of Flesherton. ' This lady was a native of Canada, having been born near Whitby on , March 12th, 1S38. .She was married , at Claremont to the late Wm. Clayton ! on January 21st 1860, and settled with him here the following year. There were four children bom to them â€" a daughter who died in child- hood, Thomas, boot and shoe dealer here, David of Lang, Sask., harness- maker and J. P. and William, a jewel- er at Saskatoon. Her husband, one of our most respected citizens during his whole lifetime, passed away four- teen yars ago. For some time past Mrj. Clayton has become more and more feeble until a couple of weeks before her death she was seized with a stroke which confined her to her bt.l. She is rememl>ered by the old- er citizens as hospitable and kind and a worker in the Methodist church until the infirmities of age came upon her. The funeral on. Friday afternoon was attended by a large number of citizens. Service was held at the house and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. H, Eaton. The pallbearers were W. J. Bellamy, C. W. Bellamy. F. H. W. Hickling, Geo. Mitchell, John Heard and H. Wilson. The sons in the West were unable to be present. There are two or three brothers living, one of whom lived here a few years ago â€" David, now at Lavalee, Rainy River; Alex., living, in Iowa and James, it is thought, lives in Winnipeg. MR J. n. CLARKE GIVES US INTERESTING INFORMATION The Advance has pleasure in draw- ing attention to an article elsewhere of an interview with Mr. J. P. Clarke on conditions in England, where he has visited during the past summer. A man of extended exper- ience, Mr. Clarke's conclusions are worth listening to.
