®l)je /kglj^ttjan %hmnu. Vol. 52. No. 32 Flesherton, Ontario, January 18,1933 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors EUGENIA Thos. Sled Wins In Those on the sick list are nean'y all better. There was a much larger at- tendance at church on Sunday. Rev McNeil chose for his subject, John's estimate of Jesus Christ. The prev- ious Sunday his sermon was on Christ's estimate of John. (In record- ing this, last week, your correspond- ent made a slight error, stating "Paul' instead of "John.") The pastor preach ed a brief but emphatic sermon on John's attribute to Jesus. ,We gathei from his sermon that it was Jesus who laid hold upon the hearts of His land and time, and our real deliver- ance will come when Jesus' teachings are impressed in the hearts of the people and the people will become his followers.

Bacon Competition Third Time Winner In The Ontario Bacon Hog Comeptition ^^iT*) For the third time in three years Mr. Thos. Sled of Flesherton has been a successful winner in the Bacon Litter competition. This year he won seventh place. The Bacon Litter competition is a contest staged annually through the co-operation of the Federal and Pro- vincial Live Stock Departments. The prize is given for the greatest num- ber of hogs in one litter which have been raised to marketing age the most cheaply, taking into consideration the number of selects in the litter. In 1930 Mr. Sled won fifteenth place, in 1931 he won sixth piace and in 1932 seventh place with a score of 148.83 out of a possible 200. The prize was $20. Though Mr. Sled's experience he knows the actual cost of feeding his hogs as supervised records must be kept.
