FLEMING, rate for 1921 will MEN STILL FEEL THEIR NEED OF REAL RELIGION Many people think, or act as though they thought, a strictly religious meeting cannot in these days be made to "draw". The following, from a letter written from Australia to tne Christian Guardian by Mr. Fred C. Middleton, is an instance which proves the contrary: "I have a class-meeting that can beat anything of the kind that Methodism can show", said the Rev. R. B. S Hammond to me soon after my return to Australia,. Mr.-' Hammond, is rector of St. Barnabas, a down-town church in the heart of Sydney . My curiosity having been aroused I determined to "step aside and see this great sight" at the earliest opportunity. The chance came a few weeks ag,o and I must confess that this Anglican class-meetings did eclipse anything I had seen in Methodist circles. Of course, it was not called by that name, being known as the "Men's Brotherhood", yet in a very real sense it was a class-meet ing. There was bright singing of songs of experience, a short snappy address by the rector, a few testimonials, and a successful appeal for wender to Christ. About 100 men ere present. In that number different grades wero represented. Some of them were young business who had been rescued from the gutter, others were artisans liked the rector and were helped by the fellowship of kindred mind: still ethers were "down and out who came mainly for the coffee and ke dispensed at the ctose of the meeting. But there they were, trans; and despite the fact that it s strictly a religious meeting, the .ttendanee keeps up. Last Wednes [ay evening, for instance, there were 160 present, while the annual report says the average is 135. Men still feel their need of real religion.4-Orillia Packet. ■ - There will be over 150 exhibitor in the automotive display at th. Canadian National Exhibition.

By that time he expects sufiicient data will be available to decide whether the manufacture of ipeat can be made commercially practicable, or not. Whj the long list of new K.C.'s? lis it possible that, our democratic farmer government is beginning to approve of class distinctions? May ye look forward, if the Farmers are successful at Ottawa, to seeing Mr. Nickle's bill brushed aside, that Premier Drury may yet hear the magic words "Rise, Sir Ernie? Sport is not everything, but a real live sporting town generally has so,nething back of it, has life in other , lines. How is this for an evidence of-good sportsmanship, with the ther- ; ii'ometer registering over 90 degrees, the Lakefield. News announces that a general meeting of the shareholders ' Of the Lakefield rink will be held. The last resting place of the remains of the late Col. William Mercer Wilson, first grand master of the A. F.&A.M. in Canada, is to be marked by a monument provided by the Crand lodge of Canada. The first grand master was a resident of Sim-toe, Ontario, and his remains lie at St., John's cemetery, three miles south of Simcoe. No animal is allowed in the judging ring at the Canadian National Exhibition until examined by a veterinary and pronounced free of disease Mr. Wm. F. Wendt, of Mild way, has been engaged by the executive of the Board of Education as principal of the Norwood Public School. Vendt is a young man with ears successful teaching experience. Master Gerald White of Dare ille, who is less than ten years age, '.vas one of the recent candidates who passed the entrance examinations. Miss O'Hara of Westport was his teacher. Speaking of dancing, would it not really have been better for mankind if the man who first started substit-iting these animal gallops and other i.odern antics for the graceful and uodesi dances of the good old days, had been taken out and shot Pi the ild, grey dawn? Fruit of most kinds will be scarce this year. Why not bottle an abund-ince of apple sauce, particularly if •ou have fall apples of your own? .'egin with Yellow Transparents. <o apple grown makes better sauce. Three, or at most four ounces of ugar to the pound of fruit is all that is needed. The Farmers' Sun speaking of Ont-rio Hvdro Electric Power asks Sir Ulam Beck by what process of reasoning he justifies a charge of only $20 per h. p. to a Barrie miller and a go of $60 to a Cookstown miller 9 miles away. There are evid-.' some inconsistencies in the Hydro administration that need an ma tion to clear the atr. he question of to stake or not to re in growing tomatoes is raised, a small garden plot, where space it be economised, staking may be Dssary. But experienced growers claim that growth is promoted and ?ning hastened by contact with or ximity to the ground. It is med also that the ripening in the lparative darkness sweetens and jroves the flavour of the fruit. There is one more argument in favor of staking: the condition of the ing tomatoes is more readily and the fruit »s more easily gathered. On the whole, the con-'on is, don't stake unless lack of obliges you to do so. nadian National Exhibition grounds comprise 264 acres and extend for about a mile along the rfront. U is estimated that to harvest thi: ear's crops in Manitoba, Saskatche an and Alberta it will require i.v roifmately 30,000 men.

Have you noticed how general, a-mong people who desire- to build in these days, is the ambition to have "little" house; whereas, a few i ago, bigness counted? What has wrought this change? Partly, doubt, the scarcity ana high cos:, domestic help; partly the increased t tf heating. One does not admit that the general tendency towards small families ;s also a factor but unfortunately that feature of the situation cannot altogether be ignored. With the passing of Judge G. M. Roger, junior judge of the united counties of Northumberland and Durham, there also passed the last of the, junior judges of these counties, fry the report of the Ontario civil service commission it was recommended that no more junior judges be appointed Judge Ward will carry out all duties in these counties, and will not do any more outside work. At present he is conducting a probe into the police court business of Toronto and this is the last outside job he will take.-- Scatinel-Star. While Protestant churches in Ontario complain of a lack of men for the ministry, Roman Catholic training schools for the priesthood are crowded. "How does it happen?" the Rev. Father Minehan was asked the other day. His answer was: "It doesn't happen! It is due to the fact that we have not banished religion from our schools. We do not teach our children from nine to four that thc-sole aim of education is to become equipped for making a living, igion is made the vital factor. our hand on the future pr hood from the cradle". Peterboro County Council's grants the five agricultural societies in e county, holding rairs at Pi boro, Norwood, Lakefield, Keene Galway, have been suspended this year. The grants as have been apportioned the last couple of years the cause of much general dissatisfaction, especially on the part of the officers of the East Peterboro Fair Board as the Peterboro Industrial got over double wnat the others received. Peterboro city being sep- from the county did not tribute anything in the county ti ese grants.
