Maxwell Delivers an Interesting Sermon in Simcoe St. Church Canada's foundation and future were discussed by Rev, F. J. Max- well In an interesting sermon de- livered on Sunday morning in the Simcoe street United Church, Fol- lowing their customary practice the congregations of St, Andrew's and Simcoe street have united for the summer months, Mr. Maxwell is taking the services during the month of July while Rev. Dr. Doug- all will officiate during August, Ap- propriate music was rendered by choir at the Sunday morning ser- vice. In dealing with his subject, Mr, Maxwell went back to the early hi¢ tory of Canada dealing first wilh the discovery of the continent in 1492 by Columbus, but pointing out at the same time that scientists have revealed that Canada is one of the most ancient of lands, the oldest known rocks in the world having been found here. Interesting comparisons of Canada's extent with that of European countries were given, it being stated that Canada 's thirty times the size of Great Britain, eighteen times that of France and Germany, and is large® than the United States. Geologists have shown, Mr. Maxwell said, that there were men in Canada before he shores of its lakes had assumed their present form and long before 'he great gorge of the Niagara river was hollowed out by nature, In re- féerring to the geological develop- nent of the country, Mr. Maxwell #1 that ut one age, Alberta was + dense jungle of vegetation and that the Great Lakes were at one tim a much vaster body of water while the level of these lakes was 'ormerly much higher than now. Sueh conditions prevailed in the Agchean age and following it came the Ice Age in which a tremendous slacier covered the whole of Canp- ada. After centuries the glacier slowly passed out and by means of the Miocene Bridge which stretched between Asia and America in the re- gion of the Behring strait it is be- lieved that men crossed from the old to the new world. As early as the tenth century, Norsemen or Vikings appear to have ventured as far west as 4 :wfound- land, Nova Scotia and Rhode |s- land, but nothing followed from their trips. The earliest inhabi- tants of Canada are thought to have been cave-dwellers and following them came the Indians. The com- ing of Columbus and Cartier, Cham- plain and Cabot was outlined by the speaker who went on to say that the birth of British Canada was in 1758-9 when Wolfe captured Louis- burg and Quebec. "Thousands of men died in winning Canada for the British and it behooves us to strive to live so their sacrifice may not have been in vain. Previous to 1867 Canada had been a collection of divided proy- 'mces but in that year men from every province got together. They were perplexed when jt came to choosing a name additional to the word Canada which is said to be a form of the Indian word "Kannat- |SIX PEOPLE KILLED AS TRAIN HITS AUTO Niagara, Falls, N. Y., July 4.--Six members of the family of Samuel Pawloff of this city were killed and eta" which means village. Some sug- gested the Republic of Canada, but that, of course, would not do, Other suggestions were also turned down and no headway was made. Finally, Sir Leonard Tilley, one of the Fathers of Confederation, in opening family worship with the reading of psalm 72, came to the elghth verse which reads, "and He shall have Dominion from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth." From this he got a suggestion and when on being presented it was accepted. Mr, Maxwell then awelt for a time with the great influx of im- migrants to Canada pointing out that In 1913, over 400,000 people immigrated to this fair land. Mr, Maxwell contended that in actual years the United States are one hundred years older than Canada and that taking this inte econsidera- tion, Canada has grown more rapid- ly than the States. . It was stated that we are indebt. ed to many of the nationg of the world, To the Jews we bwe our religion, to the Greeks we owe our philosophy. The [Jtalians or Ro- mans supplied our laws, the Arab- ians our arithmetical system and various nations other features. "May it not be that in Canada through the intermarrying of _the people who are coming to our shores there is to spring a race of men physically and intellectually greater than any - that has ever heen?" asked the speaker. The im- migrant, he went on to say, is a man just like ourselves in nature whom God has put within our reach that we may help each other, In concluding, Mr. Maxwell urged that we build a Dominion according to God's purpose, rendering efficient and effective service to Almighty, God as well as to our King and Country. : The Secret of Man Leaps Overboard To Escape Deportation Montreal, July 4.--Making an at- tempt to escape deportation, Mark Clifford jumped overboard from the C.P.R. liner, Montcalm, off Goose Reef Island, about forty-five miles belo wQuebec but in endeavor- ing to swim ashqre, he was picked up by the Cynard liner Letitia, which was following astern of the Montcalm, and now he is in Rim- ouski, awaiting the next C.P.R. liner to take him to Europe. This became known here today when steamship officials arrived from Fa- ther Point, Clifford, taking advantage of the narrow stretch of River at that point, made his dive in a spectacular 'get away, The Montcalm was too busy to slacken speed and lower a boat so her master radioed the mas- ter of the Letitia, The latter liner had already passed Clifford who was swimming strongly shoreward, but she swung around and lowered a lifeboat. Clifford was picked up and brought aboard the Cunarder, from which he was disembarked on the pilot boat at Father Point and taken to Rimouski, THREE HUNDRED DESIGNS FOR JUBILEE ISSUE OF COINS Ottawa, July 4.--Three hundred designs have been submitted in the contest for the hest design for the issue of silver coins which will com- memorate the Diamond Jubilee of Colifederation, The contest was one of the features arranged in connec- tion with the Jubilee celebration.
