GOW AND HORSE BURNED TO DEATH MORNING BLAZE BARN BELONGING TO SMITH TRANSPORT- ATION GUTTED Loss of Frame Structure and Contents Estimated at Not More Than $400 Fire of unknown origin completely gutted the barn at the corner of Brassey and Bloor streets, owned by the Smith Transportation Company, at 4 o'clock this morning, causing a loss estimated at $400. A horse and a cow, which were in the building at the time perished in the flames and although firemen" Worked desperately to subdue the flames in order to reach the animals, their efforts were in vain for they were too late to get either of them to safety. The fire is the second since last fall to attack the building, although this case it is not believed to be of incendiary origin, as the last one was suspected 'to have been. The fire originated, Chief Elliott stated in the loft of the barn, and had gotten a firm hold on the partitions and roof before it was noticed. For a time the sky was illuminated and passers- by thought some serious conflagra- | tion had broken out. Although last fall evidence of the work of a fire bug were found near the spot where the fire started, no blame was attached for the outbreak of the flames. There were no such evidences inthis case, the Chief said. There was nothing. else of much value in the building except the cow and horse which were estimated to be worth about $100 each.. Three lines of hose were laid to subdue the flames, the day staff of the depart- ment as well as the night shift turn- ing out in full force to combat the fire which might easily have spread to adjoining buildings and reached much greater proportions. No insurance was carried on the building or contents.

OSHAWA MAN IS HURT IN ACCIDENT, ADDRESS UNKNOWN J. MARSH OF THIS CITY SUFFERS INJURIES IN CRASH Large T.T.C. Bus Forced To Side of Road and Takes to Ditch When a large bus owned by th Toronto Transportation Commis sion, went in the ditch at 3.30 o'- clock Saturday afternoon at a point near the Danforth just east of Tor- onto, two passengers were injured, one of whom was a resident of Oshawa. Reports list the two in- jured as Mrs. C. Bevans, 20 Im- perial street, Ottawa, and J. Marsh, 278 Division street, Oshawa. After exhaustive enquiries and consider- able investigation The Times was unable to locate Mr. Marsh or to communicate with any of his friends in the city. It was learned that the address mentioned as that of Mr. Marsh in the Toronto despatch was not the correct one, and since no other name appears either in the Oshawa directory or the telephone book, Mr. Marsh's true address is unknown at this office. Dr. G. F. R. Richardson of Kingston Road and Dr. R. M. Jewell, of Scarbor- ough, attended the injured people. According to the driver of the truck, he was forced to the side of the road owing to the heavy traffic and crashed into the guy wires on the side of the highway. F. Col- lins, the driver was not held by the police. LERARDALE UNITED CHURCH SERVICES 'Mothers' Day Specially Ob- served -- Women Take Charge of Service . The services at Cedardale United church yesterday were of special in- terest during the day. They were all Mother's day services. In the morn- ing the service was.led by a chil- dren's choir. Mildred MacDonald and Muriel McKinstry sang a duet, "Iet the Children Come Unto Me." Rev. G. W. Irvine addressed the children on "The World's Greatest Mother" He showed her song "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord," her hopes, her anxicties, her surrender, her selfishness. "Happy is the woman who to her own or others gives the motherly heart, God's own gift, who is in so many ways akin to the great- est mother in history, she whom God called by that sacred name." The Sunday School was well at- tended and in open session followed the program for the school. The in story, "The Quest," was told by Catharine Van Heuizen. "The Giv- ers of Light" was recited by Mar- garet Henderson. Rev. G. W. Ir- vine spoke on the suggestive subject, "Golden Glimpses of Motherhood," using the picture studies of famous Madonnas. Women Take Charge The evening service was in charge of the woman of the congregation. Then service was led by Mrs. G. W. Irvine assisted by a women's choir. During the service a special anthem was given by the choir, Miss Mary Dearborn of Centre strect church sang a solo. Mrs. A. M. Irwin of North Simcoe strect United church gave a splendid address in which she spoke of the origin and aim of the Mother's Day, the mother's work, her duty, the dangers when that duty is neglected, her sense of values The speaker pointedsout that if the mes of Canada, with all they stand for in influence on the life of the children were to be preserved and surrounded by tender noble associa- tion, which has been the gift of mothers of this generation, then the mothers must be willing to place first things first and so pass on this heri- tage which has come to them. In closing a word of counsel and cn- couragement was spoken to the young people and children that they too might share in the building up of a truly happy Christian home, nearly 2.000 primitive grinding at Believed to be years old, a quern, a stone handmill used for corn, was unearthed recently Shaugh, England. A MOTHERS' DAY IN FIRST BAPTIST Mrs. Ira Smith Spoke Afternoon Service--Ap- propriate Messages at Mother's Day was celebrated at First Baptist Church at both morning and evening services as well as in the Sunday school at 3 p.m. The Sunday school session was marked by the presence of an unusual number of visitors as well as by the usual always popular ef- forts of the Primary department. The service was conducted throughout by Mr. Wilkins, the Superintendent; the Mother's Day story was told by Mr. Robt, Ham- ilton, while the address of the oc- casion was most ably and appro- priately given by Mrs. (Rev.) Ira Smith, who suceeeded in presenc- ing ag reat deal\of fresh and or- iginal matter on a subject which is regarded as well-nigh exhausted. The Grace of Motherhoc:d The morning sermon topic was "The Grace of Motherhood," as found in the last chapter of the book of the Prophet Isaiah, in which the prophet striving to des- cribe the final blessedness of Is- rael, speaks of him 'As one whom his mother comforteth." The in- spired simile of the love of God, Mothrhood, on examination, was found to be of all human affec- tions the strongest of all, the most enduring of all and the most un- selfish of all. While mother-love might be the holiest human affec- tion and while it involved us in an unpayable debt it was, after all, imperfect, as everything human is, while the Love of God is perfect in its quality and infinite in its con- tent as everything in God must' be perfect. While paying unstintea tribute to the gracious benediccion of mother-love it was fitting that we should remember that that love even at its best, must he mun:plied by infinity to indicate the love with which the believer is loved of his God. The Evening Service The disgrace of motherhood was the topic at the evening service when the shocking instance of maternal cannibalism recorded in the Second Book of Kings, formed the basis of the study. It wus pointed out that this fearful lapse of motherhood took place during the horrors of a siege, but that ev- en so it was the means of causing the king to appear in public in sackcloth. and of taking rash and extreme action such as all the numerous and prolonged suffer- ings and horrors of the siege haa not suggested to him. He saw that when motherhood failed noth- ing could be expected to stand. It was asserted that today moth- erhood failed in all too many in- stances and that too without the excuse of the horrors of war. Women were known who, hav- ing sunk lower than the brute beasts, said the speaker, regard- ed their children as a nuisance and who neglected even the ministries so devotedly given by the lower creation. When a woman permit- ted her love of ease or amusement or her social or other ambitions to repudiate, or even neglect, the sacred duties of maternity, she could only be regarded as the Dis- grace of Motherhood, said Mr. Galt, when this became common with any people the proper mode in dress became sackcloth with the suitable accompaniment of ashes. MUSIC FESTIVAL AT SIMCOE STREET UNITED GHURGH RARE GEMS OF SACRED MUSIC BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED Interesting Address on Com- posers by Rev. F. J. Horwood of Toronto A rich festival of music was given last night in Simcoe Street United Church when solists combined with organ, presented several of the bet known oratorios and the choir gave selections from the world's most beautiful sacred compositions. Not only was the musical presenta- tion delightful in every detail, but the added address given by Rev. F. I. Horwood, Doctor of Music, of To- ronto, proved inspiring in that it deait with the lives of the composers whose works were sung last night. The Rev. Dr. Horwood's visit to the Simcoe. Street pulpit was quite unan- nounced, and it came as a delightful surprise to the congregation, which listened with rapt attention and great appreciation to his interpretations of the lives of Mendelssonn, Handel, Haydon and the other gicat compo- sers represented in the festival, and stressed the great spiritual value of the contribution which they had made to the great songs of the Christian faith, The choir was present, one hundred percent and their renditions of the var- ious choruses spelt only too well the fact that hours had been spent in the preparation of the pieces which were listened to by a congregation that had assembled long before the service began. The Musical Program The first chorus sung by the choir was the composition from the pen of Hayden, and taken from his great work, "The Creation." Tt was "The Heavens Are Telling." Solo work in this number was done by Mrs, C. M. Mundy, Mrs. W. H. Scilley and Mrs. Robert Holden, "Eye Hath Not Seen," by Gaul, was the second scl- ection, it being a purely solo number. This piece is taken from the oratorio "The Holy City" by Gaul. Miss Mar ian Ross interpreted it in splendid manner , Mr. C., Patterson, baritone, who po- sscsses a voice of remarkable distine- tion sang the number "It Is Enough" from the well-known composition "Elijah," Although sung and re-sung many times, this solo has lost none of its wonderfully spiritual meaning and has come to be regarded as one of the foremost of the sacred solo numbers, "Then Shall the Righteous Shine," also from "Elijah" by Mendelssohn was sung by Mr. W, H. Scilley in very fine manner, A trio composed of Mrs. W, A. Hare, Miss Leah Garrow and Miss Jean Keddie sang the next number entitled, "I Waited for the Lord." The number was taken from the oratorio, "Hymn of Praise" by Men- delssohn, Mr. George Fleming, sang the selection "Arm, Army Ye Brave" from "Judas Maccabacus" by Handel. The "Hallelujah" chorus from the "Messiah" also by Handel proved a fitting number for the conclusion of such a musical festival, The congr:- gation stood throughout this entire selection. J. H. Renwick, organist and, choirmdster conducted the, musical program and is descrving of the high- est praise for the splendid manner in which the choir rendered thesc| choice gems of sacred music. Rev. | Ernest Harston was in the pulpit. er Ten Occupants Escape Death As Sedan Takes to the Ditch Death was defeated yesterday morning when an Oldsmobile sedan slewed off the Kingston Highway on the - east hill at Tooley's Mill, and crashed into the ditch with ten pas- sengers six of whom 'were children. Clifford Lane, thé driver of the car and Mrs, Lane and their three year old bay, Francis Lane, received head injurics which were treated at the Oshawa General Hospital, it being necessary to insert several stitches to close the wounds in the cases of the latter two. "The other occupants.of the car, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wilce and three children escaped injury, and account| Mr. Lane's other two children were for their miraculous escape from death to the crowded conditions within the car. All those who figur- ed in the accident were residents of Whitby. The members of the company were on the way from their. home "in Whitby to that of a relation in Col- borne who was in ill health and were not proceeding at a fast rate of speed, | Mr. Lane stated to The Times this morning. When the car had reach- ed the top of the hill at Tooley's! Mill, it took a jolt, he stated, ren- dering his control useless. It is be- licved a brake-band tightened sud- denly.

(M-W) i) Student of Oshawa Collegi- ate Institute Delivered His Oration on the Place of} Canada Among the Na. tions of the World HIGHLY PRAISED BY PRINCIPAL O'NEILL George W. McLaughlin and W. A. Dryden, Father of the Youthful Orator, Testify to Value of Train. ing in Public Speaking and Citizenship John Dryden, champion of the Cobourg district and winner of third place and a $50 prize in the Ontario oratory finals, gave today at Rotary his championship speccn on 'Canada Among the Nations," in which he pointed out clearly the position of Canada, past, present and future, in the British Com- monwealth and among the other nations of the world. John Dryden's father, W. A. Dryden of Brooklin was also a guest of the Rotary club at its meeting at noon today in Welsh's parlors. During the business ses- sion, over which Vice-President George Hart presided due to tne indisposition of President Gordon Conant. Rotarian Ewart Alger gave a report on the district con- vention in Erie Penn., which he attended in.company with Totar- fan Leo Gray. Rotarians Stan Ev- erson, C. CgStenhouse and Ernie Marks were added to the street fair committee and Rotarian Bill Gilbert of the Oshawa Lumber Company enlivened the meeting with a lucid explanation of "knot holes." Speaker Introduced John Dryden was introduveed to the meeting by Principal O'Neill of the Oshawa Collegiate Institute, as' the third best orator in the province of Ontario. He said t was a great honor, not only to the Oshawa collegiate institute to have John Dryden numbered among its students, but also to the Brook- lin: Continuation school which he formerly attended. He also paid a tribute to the training which the lad nad received in his home as a contributory factor. John Dryden The youthful orator made a splendid impression on the gather- ing as he delivered his oration. With few gestures but with a forceful and impressive enuncia- tion he captured the attention of his hearer as he gave the speech which had brought him such high honors, The text of the speech 1¥ as follows: My subject, Canada among the nations, is one which does not at once appear familiar, because so recently has Canada. assumed the status and role of a mation among the nations of the world. Cang lian statesmen and men versed in |jub- lic affairs, well acquainted jrith international law have spoked in no: uncertain terms on this pqint. If given the time 1 might nf ike reference to statements mad¢ by such men as Sir George Fof ex. the Right Honorable Ay ur Meighen, Sir Robert Falconer) nd others. It may be sufficient } w- ever, to quote a few words ihm a speech by the Prime Minister, the Right Honorable W. L. Mag- kenzie King, He says,-- "As one of the nations of the British Commonwealth of Nations, though of her own accord, Can- ada shared in the sacrifices of the world's: war; as a nation, Canada participated in the terms of a word's peace. In the larger coun- cils of Empire her position hag been increasingly acknowledged; it has been. accorded the highest recognition "in the league of na- tions as well. At no previous per- iod of her history has Canada's status as a nation been so cleariy defined, and at no time in her history have her relations, intra- imperial and international, becn happier than they are today." A Recognized Nation Now I say, it is apparent that Canada stands among the coun- tries of thegworld, a fully recog- nized nation. As concrete evidence of this position I may state that she is making commercial treaties with many countries, thus ventur- ing into new lines of action where experience and precedent are yet to be found. Trade treaties have been concluded with seventeen na- tions since September, 1923, and her representatives in: foreign courts are becoming established and increasing in number as iime goes on. Having acyuired he full stature of nationhood it i§ becom- ing that Canada should assuinc her share of responsibility in world affairs. I refer to every factor per- taining to the general welfare of her sister nations, individually and collectively, and more particulary to her contribution in legislative, educational and commercial enter- prises. Through years and generations past the differences between na- tions have been settled by sirife and warfare, by pillage and plun- der, by strength of might and the sword. The enlightened peoples of the world today look forward to "Naturally a newer and a brighter . future, with a hope for peace and wor: wide stability which may make possible a condition, as yet un- 'known in history. It sems to me ,that Canada, with her youth, vir- ility, wealth and commercia: suc~ cess is in a unique position in the respect. Her geographical posi- tion as well will considerably de- termine the influence she is able to wield. Being next door to the United ' States and . having fully demonstrated, for over a century, how easy and mutually beneficial it is to be at peace with one's neighbors, Canada is at once un- equalled by any other country on the face of the globe. With Jap- an beyond the Pacific, Europe across the Atlantic and with Bri- tain a central source of power and strength, Canada must thereiore be in a position to stimulate and develop a condition of peace and goodwill among the nations of tzu earth, IPidelity to Britain Canada's status within the Bri- tish Commonwealth of Nations ix unique also. She has led the way and accomplished more than any other colony in making complete the great unification of the differ- ent sections of the British Empire. Even though the Motherland has been sufficiently generous to grant the control of affairs inter- nal and external, it is neverthe- less a fact that Canada remains un- changed in her fidelity to bi:tain through her allegiance to the Crown. Britain's influence in world afafirs must remain wsu- preme, It may be a large part of Canada's duty to foster and strengthen that bond of unity, loy- alty and comradeship within the British Commonwealth of nations and which after all must be the chief and firm foundation upon which Empire strength is built, The position which Canada may ! finally attain in world affairs must depend mainly upon two factors, her | wealth which is necessary in order to carry on, and her people upon whom depénds the working out of various problems from time to time. -Her natural resources are unknown and as yet barely scratched. No country has such potential wealth in Agricul- ture, Forests, Mines, Fisheries. and Waterpower. Her agriculture based on a soil of wonderful virgin fertility by approved methods of cultivation is capable of development for endless time; her forests comprising vast areas of valuable timber will provide wealth beyond conception; her mines in actual operation and in prospective production will astonish the world; her 'fisheries form an asset as yet only in the elementary stages of de= velopment, and her waterpower will be harnessed in time to create wealth unheard of in any other country. then, industrial activity must necessarily follow, and in the full use of all varieties of wealth factories of every type will undoubt- edly become increasingly numerous, so that as time goes on the products of our field and factory will find enlarged markets in far off lands. This very satisfactory financial cons dition will be of material importance in her contact with other nations. Canada's People Mr. Chairman, I have mentioned her people, and Jin this respect; though not yet great in numbers, Canada takes | second place to no other + country. + With an Anglos Saxon base, true, Canadians, born in freedom, full of vigor, with a, wide vision, and intellectually sound have an optimism and an ambition which will overcome all obstacles in the country's onward march. They have faith in Canada. They believe: that Canada's 'position among the. nations of the world is established and as- sured. They will so take advantage of every facility which their couns try's geographical position and enors. mous wealth provide that 'her statu§ as a nation, that her influence throughout the world will grow and increase until her voice will become a power wherever it may be heard. We need more people. It, will" be necessary for many years to absorb newcomers, some of whom will emi grate from' {foreign countries where. peace and stability have not been so constant as in Canada. T feel hows ever, that British traditions are sa firmly imbedded in the lives of Canadian citizens that the conduct of Government and law and order must be secure. Opportunities for immigrants are very great; many eyes are looking this way at present, yet all who may wish should not en= ter. Only those who are workers, who are able to grasp our problems and our ideals and are ready to ass sume their individual responsibilities should be encouraged to come to our shorgs. There is no doubt theres fore, in my opinion that skill, fores sight and sound judgment will be applied to the administration of Canada's affairs. f [ am firmly convinced that Can- ada's future greatness among the nations of the world is merely a matter of growth and' steady' pro gress. Let the spirit of her pioneers inspire the present and future gens erations ,and let the love of country fire every breast until Canada stands pre-eminent among the nations.
