How the Forest Helps The Community (Distributed by the Ontario Forests Branch) Few people realize the value o: wood. Practically everything we d< throughout the 4ay is connected it some way with products from th< forest and from' morning until nigh; the articles we use in work and play can be traced, either in whole or part, to trees. As it has been said, our MiVes are intimately oonected with wood from the cradle to the grave. It can be easily demonstrated that forests play an important part in any country. The presnce of trees have a moderating influence on climate because large areas of trees keep the ' in day time and slightly night and there are not i changes in temperature which are brought about by severe winds which sweep over the country when the trees have been cut down. The presence of large blocks of woodland, as well as individual rows of trees, serve as wind-breaks and in the summer time these intercept high winds and in this way prevent the drying out of the land and the drift-tog of the top layer of soil, especially air cooler I Special Services at Old St. Andrew's Last Sunday. June 20th. 1937, Old s>ent St. Andrew's Presbyterian Churcn "-sek. held special services for their furnace f t happens to be sand. On the pralr- < acknowledged ies, and even in some parts of south- nu' ern Ontario, we have had experience of this in the last two or three years and thousands of acres of good pasture and faini land have been injured or destroyed by drifting soil. The presence of trees has a beneficial influence on the supply of water in springs and rivers and is of great assistance in storing water whicn floods underground streams and •springs. Trees have a tendency to 'hold the snow in the spring allowing ■the water to seep out gradually into the creeks and rivers instead of causing heavy floods. In many parti Eastern Sectional Meeting United Church W. M. S. Several ladies from CoKborne attended the Eastern Sectional meeting of the Cobourg Presbyterial of the United Church Woman's Missionary Society, which was held at Wooler on Friday, June 18th. il937. The meeting was well attended, and those present enjoyed an interesting and inspiring day. . Mrs. (Rev.) Harold Neal of Campbellford. very graciously presided at both sessions. The cordial address of welcome by Mrs. Clarence Mc Masters of Wooler, was graciously responded to by Mrs. Malcolm of1 Campbellford, and Mrs. S. C. Terrill, I President of the Presbyterial. gave! Church also contributed to a brief report of the Branch meeting which was held at Arnprior. The guest speaker, Mrs. A. E. Armstrong of Toronto, who has been in Korea, gave a splendid address, the subject of which "Appraising pur Investments." She presented convincing proof that money given for Missions was yielding wonderful returns. She referred among many examples, to a predominant figure in Japan, who was recently introduced to the Canadian Club with these yards, "Kagawa he greatest living fund. Dr. P. Bruce Thorni Minister, conducted the services and preached very challenging sermons; in the morning on "Facing Facts" and in the evening on 'Splinters and Planks," or "The Mote and the Beam." Dr. Thornton brought home to us, in his able and striking manner, the vital Christian message of our relationship to the Church and our individual sponsibility to our God and to " 'llowman.

The first is one from which all the forest has been removed, leaving perhaps an area of- barren land with litle tree growth or vegetation. On such a hillside, which is called a watershed, we get a large flow of water in a few weeks in the spring, after which the creeks which fake their rise in such an area become dried up. The second type of watershed is one which is completely covered with trees and vegetation of j smaller growth and from those we do j -not get such a. large flow of water in the spring but the snow Is held back 1 and creeks are fed more slowly and j continually throughout most of the | ^TTfrfmeT - >----- Where such springs and rivers are nispd for resorvoir purposes it is very j beneficial to have the hills in which, they rise covered with trees and other' vegetation. Not only does such growth Christian to-day .and the most Christlike. If Christian Missions had produced none other, it would be good investment." Another example was a Korean girl, one of the first to have the privilegs of going to school, who was such a birlliant scholar that a Missionary wrote to her homeland, requesting money for her education. A blind r»an in Ohio volunteered to support her through High School and University. Winning scholarships, she was enabled to complete her training in America, and Dr. Induk Pak Is now doing wonderful work as a Professor on the staff of Bwwha Misslon- Coliege. Seoul.

The ladies of our fine historic Church made it especially bright and beautiful with flowers for the occasion and we were pleased to have the other Churches worship, with us in the evening as a token of their regard and goodwill. The offering, which exceeded the objective, was most gratifying to the Minister ana members of the Church, and we wish to thank all who. contributed and helped in so many ways and showed such interest in the work and welfare »t Old St. Andrew's. i ightoi d Mrs. Harry B.
