The Vacation The annual Church Vacatior School " F as closed with a service. Sunday evening, July 20, ,when a demonstration was given showing something of the program the child- ren had followed the two previous weeks. There were 44 children reg- istered at the school, which was held in St. John's Church. The school was divided into two groups. The prim- ary children, six years to eight yars, were under the leadership of Miss Frances Collinson and studied "Bible Homes." A feature of the Sunday evening service was a drama put out by this group entitled, "A Sabbath day in a Jewish Home." The junior group which was led the first week The mail carrier, Mr. Alex. McEach- nie of Flesherton, making his daily trip, -discovered the body on the road, a short distance from the mail box, apparently where he had fallen from the wheel. The coroner, Dr. F. Martin of Dundalk, was called and pronounced death due to lightning. I Victor Leroy White was born on August lltth, 1^27, and spent his 14 short years in the Portlaw com- munity. Here he attended public school, from which he passed his Entrance this year. Victor was a general favorite among school and church friends and neighbors alike, because of his amiable, kind and bright disposition. Some time ago he made a definite public decision for Christ, and thereafter he lived a beautiful Christian life, the influ- ence of which shall never be for- gotten. The funeral, conducted on Satur- day, July 26th, was largely attended by sympathizing friends from near and far. The service was held in Mt. Zion church and was in charge by Miss Jeannette Cargo and the ; of Rev.

Both groups spent a good deal of time in memorization of scripture. They also learned a good many new humns. A very impressive part of the school was a fifteen minute worship period each day, in which the whole school took part. As well as these specially religious aspects of the program, the children learned in a twenty minute period first thing in the morning a good many secular somrs which they enjoyed singing very much, ihit ir some way the most interesting part of the school to moat was the hand- work period which was held for nr hour each moning. The small child- ren made, out of paper, homes of days and peep shows of a garden in Palestine or of the interior of a T. ish home. Thi> older group, the firs' week made relief mans of Pal<-tini' showinir the physical features of the land, the provinces, the important cities in the time of Jesus. The last week this older groun made articles from leather. Most of these wcr sold after the school. Hit- mom-v ftR.I^ was sent to the SAVE ^HE CHILD- Ren Fund for children in bombi" 1 areas in Britain. Miss Helen Heard had full charge of the handwork and Miss Kate McMillan assisted her. Rev. G. K. McMillan acted as prin- 18:29 "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Thu sermon was a clear explanation of "The way to safety," and was addressed to the younir and to parents, who were exhorted to restore the family altar and to< have a spiritual concern for their child- ren. Ministers who assisted in the service were Rev. F. Dean of the (joxpel Workers church, Markdale. and Rev. Wm. Howey of First Unit- ed church, Owen Sound. J'ev. and Mrs. Dt\an feelingly rendered the sacred song "God Will Not Forget." The congregational numbers were "'When He Cometh," "Shall We Gather at The River?" and "Safe in the Arms , f Jesus."
