The jury was closeted an hour before bringing in its verdict and made a strong recommendation for leniency. His Honor Judge Thompson, will sentence Stewart at the close of the assizes. No defence evidence was of- fered, although in his address to the jury, A. W. 8, Greer, defend- ant's counsel contended that there was no proof that his client had actually written and signed a Jet- ter, which had been received by T. W. Joyce, bank manager, con- fessing his guilt. On the other band Crown Attorney J. A. Mec- Gibbon argued that Stewar.'c written confession, his verbal statement to the bank manager And others, were absolute evi- dence of his guilt. Stewart had been working in the bank about 15 months, having come to' Canada from Scotiand where his parents still. reside. Signing the name of "Archie James" to a cheque. it is allég- ed that he drew out.$1,500 from Mr. James' account negotiating the cheque at the Central ¢anaax Loan and Savings Co. office at Toronto.

The quar- tette was one'of the finest organ- izations that has paid a visit to the city and their work brought forth round after round of ap- plause from a most appreciative audience. Featured on the pro- gram was Miss Constance Neville- Johns, coloratura soprano, who possesses a voice of rare beauty, as well as a charming personality that endeared her to her audience. Mr. Petrie, who heads the musi- cal organisation which was heard last night, is an excellent music. ian and an admirable master of ceremonies. His musical training has been a brilliant one and he capably filled the position of cor- net soloist in the band organised and directed by John Phillip Sousa. With Mr, Perie are assoct- ated three musicigns of high or- der, who either together. of singly gave the andience a splendid selec- tion of numbers. The organization was equally at home in presen- tation of classical and also num- bers that were of the more popu- lar type, so that the tastes of all sections of the audience were equually well taken care of, It was not alone to the every day or.usual form of instrumental music that the Petrie company confined itself last night but rather gave a program of solos on a wide range of Instruments as well as duets, quartettes and com- edy selections that were unusual to say the least. One of the selec- tions in particular took the fancy of the audience, in which each musician performed two distinct parts while the whole organiza- tion played at the same time. Miss Constance Néville Johns, who was the soloist of the evening added much to the enjoyment of the performance by the delightful manner in which she sang a num- ber 'of old familiar gelections that have endeared themselves to the people of the English speak- ing race and which have retained their popularity down through the years due to their own merit.

Nind, of Port | Perry, Is Re-elected Deanery Officer -- Fine Addresses Given Delegates from the Yomen's Auxiliaries of practically every church in the deanery attended the 12th annual meeting of the East York Women's Auxiliary Deanery, held at Holy Prinity An. glican Church here yesterday. The meeting was opened at 1v..V o'clock in the morning with the celebration of Holy Communion, The session throughout the day was of -a highly inspirational na- ture and gratification was felt by 'all the auxiliary menibers for the progress which the organization is making. Mrs. T. A. Nind, of Port Perry, was re-elected as deanery officer and many expressions of apprecia- tion for her efficient efforts dur- ing the past year were conveyed to her. In the unavoidable absence of Rev, Canon Sawers, of Toronto, the sermon was preached by Rev. E. Ralph Adye, rector of All Saints' Anglican Church, Whitby. Rev. Mr. Adye said in pat: "At the outset this moraing it is necesary to say, not by 'vay of excuse but explanation, thut the great privilege of addressing the ry W.A. was thrust upon me in 'the force of unfortunate circumstances which prevented the preacher announced on (he programme from being prese "One might remark that fe important contribution of the wo- men to the life of the church bo h in money and service is so great that a mere'man must quail be- fore the prospect of attempting to deliver a message to the delegates of a W.A.

The capable manner in which Miss Neville-Johns rendered her address held the audience spell bound throughout and the way in which this talented speaker color- ed her address with a song or two and imitations of animal and bird life of the "oldest and newest" continent, made yesterday after- noon's program not only one of the most valuable as far as edu- cation value is concerned but also one of the most entertaining sec- tions of the Chautauqua program, Many interesting and educating facts were disclosed by Miss Ne- ville-Johns. The speaker's discrip- tion of the Australian railways and the necessary changing be- tween each state in the Common- wealth was of particular interest to All. Geological features of the coun-' try were discribed to substantiate the theory that Australia is the "oldest continent." The kangaroo is thought to be a descendant of the dinosaurs. The = duck-billed platapus, an interesting animal which looks like a large duck, has fur instead of feathers, lays eggs but suckles its young, is said to be a link betwen the reptile and ani- mal life. Rivers which run inland, end- ing in underground rivers or sur. face lakes, trees which have green foliage the year-round and shed bark instead of leaves, were some of the other intersting facts told by the speaker. The habits and living customs of the Aborigines, the real nativeg of Australia, were also discussed. War weapons were displayed, including boomerrangs and a shield. Miss Neville-Johns punctuated her address with flashes of bril- liant humor and there was never a dull moment but the conclusion and climax of her address pleased the audience immensely. In clos- ing, the speaker, a talented so- prano, sang two songs, one an Australian folk song which was particularly pleasing. The address was indeed a mas- terpiece of entertainment and ed. necation and will long be remem- bered by all who heard it. The afternoon's program was started in an auspicious manner when Herbert Petrie's Quartette, who are not*only musictans but talented singers and readers, gave a short program as a prelude to the address. This outstanding company presented . & program which was very high in calibre but too brief in length for the music lovers, present. Mr. Petrie, who has been solo cornetist in a band organized and directed by John Phillip Sousa, and his three companions, will long be remembered by all who heard them. The {instrumental quartette's rendering of "The Lost Chord."' a eplendid saxaphone solo, "Sweet Mystery of Life," a baritone' solo and a humourous musical skit, were some of the outstanding items on a delightful program, The instruments used by the quartette were, two trom- bones two cornets, a saxaphone, and a piano, IMPORTANCE OF GOSPEL STRESSED BY LEADING BAPTIST EPIDEMIC OF SORE RIBS AND LIMBS 13 EVIDENT TODAY Kiwanians Are Victims as Result of Sports at Camp Rally This morning a noticeable epi- demic wgs apparent among busi- ness men of the city, quite 4 per- centage suffering from eore ribs, crippled legs, and other injuries. There is, it is understood, little if any danger of this epidemic spreading and it is, in fact, con- fined entirely to Kiwanians, who took part in the sports at the Ki- wanis Camp yesterday afternoon when the Oshawa club acted as hosts to the visiting Kiwanis Clubs from Toronto, Peterhorongh and Lindsay. During the afternoon a baseball schedule was played off between crack teams representing the four clubs jn which Petertor ugh nerged the ch +i the ret round Peterborough defeated l'oronto, much to the chagrin of he visitors from the Queen City, ho had expected to carry all be- re them. In the second round he Oshawa Club were defeated by Lindsay, in spite of strenuous argument and, so it was alleged by the visitors, attempted corrup- tion and bribery of the umpires. In the final game Peterborough defeated Lindsay, the Lindsay team quite evidently suffering from the effects of their strenu- ous game with Oshawa which took place but a short time before At the luncheon which followed the games; when about seventy- five Kiwanians sat down under the chalrmanship of Vice - President W. J. Trick of the Oshawa Club, attention was called to the fact that the Kiwanis Boys' Camp opens on July 1 when between forty-five and fifty boys are ex, pected to be in attendance. A most efficient instructor and boys' mentor has been engaged and wili be on the job from the opening of this annual camp, WOULD IMPOSE HEAVY FINE FOR N.3.F. CHEQUES Recommendation Made by Credit Men's Trust Association ampions. Toronto, June 11.--Passing of N.S.F. cheques has grown to such an alarming extent that legisla- tion to provide a fine of $1,000 or one year's imprisonment, or both, for the misdemeanor, is proposed in the report of legis- lative and bankruptcy commit. tee of the CAnadian Credit Men's Trust Association, in convention at the Royal York Hotel. The committee states that a survey covering 549% members durifig 1930 showed that 64,817 cheques had been returned, ag- gregating in value $5,106,741, a fact which 'demonstrates con- clusively the alarming extent to which this practice has attained." It will present.to the conven- tion for discussion today a pro- posed bill stating: 'Everyone is guilty of a misdemeanor and liable to one year's imprisonment or to a fine of $1,000, or both, who, with intent to Wefraud makes and de}ivers any cheque for the payment of money, know- ing at the time of such making and delivery that he has not suf- ficient. money or funds or credit for paying in full of such cheque.

Dr. MacNeil States -- Says Baptists Are Individualists S------ Rev. Dr. J. McNeil, president 6f the World Baptist Alliance, and Principal of McMaster University, addressed the Whitby-Lindsay As- sociation of the Baptist Church during the afternoon session of the convention held in the First Baptist Church yesterday after- noon on the subject of the Gos- pel and its relation to the Christ- ian life, . ul put great emphaeis on his relationship to the Gospelg said Dr. McNeil who pointed out that St. Paul frequently used the expresgions "The Gospel of Good," "The Gospel of his Son," "The Gospel of His Grace," while when his life was drawing to a close he speaks of 'My Gospel," as though it was a very precious possession of his own. "Paul does not insinuate that he has invented a gospel of his own," said the speaker, 'far from it. In fact, he pronounces a curse on any man who will preach any other gospel in writing his epis= tle to the Galatians. : "I have a great conviction that the people of our time must come to that point where the Gospel be- comes a very real and personal thing if our ministry as a church is going to be effective," said Dr. McNeil. "What do we mean when we talk about the Gospel? What did St. Paul mean? There are all sorts of ideas current about what the Gospel really is. We are living in an age of sin and doubt, selfish ness, international strife. We should grasp the fact that the spirit of the Gospel will dissolve and. supplant these things. "The charge has been made that the Gospel is narrow and super- ficial, no one can be in doubt af- ter reading St. Paul. St. Paul did not have a narrow and superficial mind. There are a few great, ring- ing acclamations constantly ree curring, the same great note ems erges over and over again and you cannot find a finer summary of what the Gospel is than the early verses of First Corinthians Chap- ter Fifteen. That is the heart of the Gospel. "There are many conceptions of the Gospel. To many men the Gos- pel means nothing more than the Incarnate Christ and His teach» ings. These are all great facts which we would not part with but they are not the Gospel. "The cry has been raised in many places 'Get Back to Christ," well, get back to Christ and what do you find? A Christ Who said 'If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me,' a Christ Who said, 'I-.came to minister and not to be ministered unto," a Christ who was the essence of sacrifice. "The Gospel is not merely the matchless teaching of His death and resurrection but the spirit of sacrifice. The central, throbbing heart of the Gospet is the pringiple of the Cross, and this must be car-+ ried out into all life. There is no- thing narrow or circumseribed about that. That is what Paul did, he took it into the home, into the labour world, into the national life and international life. He said husbands and wives, masters and servants, 'ought to live under this principle of the Cross. "The principle of the Cross sweeps the whole life of mankind whether it be social, industrial, national or international."
