Rev. 8S. J. Hoghes,i M.A., of Kempt- ville, president of conference, opened the meeting, Rey. J. E. Mavety lead ng in prayer. In the absence of J, 3. Eagleston, Robert Meek, of this city, occupied the chair. The choir of the church was in its - accustomed place, adding greatly to the hearti- ness of the singing. y Both addresses touched the vital points and deficiencies of the work among the young in the church to- day. W. J. Cairns, of Ottawa, dealt with the home training generally! while Rev. W, T. G. Brown, of Sher brooke, Que., an old pastor of the conference church, spoke forcibly along Sunday school lines. Mr., Meek, speaking from & number | of years' experience in young people's work, declared that this is the day ol the young, and. they are asserting | their intelligence . and power very markedly. Illustrating, he pointed out | sociologists tell us that most of the human wrecks today are either di- rectly of indirectly attributed to want of proper care and training when young. The chairman Scot] the corrective of the chuich to be in the young people's societies, where they | grow ap in grace and usefulness, and he was glad to know that one of the studies was good citizenship. He re ferred particularly to one thought in Prof. Skelton's book on "Social Ser vice," that new life in the community must begin in the individual, and to regenerate it you must start with the young. Mr. Meek also touched on' Sunday school efforts, W. J. Cairns delivered what he term: ed a -heart-to-heart talk om the Jeo blem of the young. The 'speaker drew a vivid picture of the area and re sources of the dominion and the place she holds in the world, and declared the fact that her true strength stands in her citizens, and the standards morally and religiously they aspire to. Continuing, the speaker said that perhaps the ery to take care of the stranger was béing overdrawn to the detriment of our own boys and girls. We need leaders everywhere, in all branches of life, and must be careful that we are not thwarting God's plan in not developing our own citizens of the future. We, have numerous insti- tutions, but they are not supplying the need. Mr. Cairng stated a defect. The per:. centage of boys who go through pub- lic school, high school, up to is, is quite small, and they are crammed in the first (wo schools preparatory for the higher hall of learning. He said it was a mistake that the large percentage who leave school before that time, going into business, or oth- er occupations, should have to under go the same course as those who con- tinue in college. The time could be spent to better advantage. Neglect in the Home, Further, Mr. Cairns stated that the home was the institution where the take place, and no other could fill its specific field. But there is tgg.much rush, especially in the eity, 1 the parents to spend time with their children. Lven if a man enter the arena pi-the church, the calls therein multiply at a terrific rate. The women are also rushed,, "And ii n woman attends to her home and family properly," said the speaker, "the has no time for angthing else." "What Canada wants is more old- fashioned homes," he declared. (Hear, hear !} "How much of your. time is devoted to your boy All due respect to mothers, the speaker said that he felt this "mother" idea was overdrawn. She is associated largely with home, Sunday school and religious instruction, and the father begins to feel that all he is called upon to de is to provide the cash. The boy, naturally, begins to feel that if he wants to be a man he mast 'cut loose' from all these things. Mr. Cairns closed by asking the father® to talk with their boys in their homes, enter into their games (no lodge meeting or amusement should ebme first), and to be careful about the atmosphere of the home, It should be permeated by father's even temper and mother's loving nature. I man has any. right to bring children into this , world, he certainly must care for them. Sunday School Work. Rev. W. T. G. Brown, in beginning his address on Sunday school work, said that he was glad that to-day these institutions are better equipped and served by better and more consee- rated teachers than ever. "The school is not the place for children only; it is not the nursery, but the place where the church is studying the Bible," declared the for- mer Kingston pastor, It is not as some people suppose wholly for con verting, because many scholars and teachers are brought to that rela: tionship with God before they go there; nor for the development of good citizenship wholly, bat for the teaching of the Bible for instruction, with an eye to Christian &haracter, Nr. Brown went on to say that he was old-fashioned enough to urge more doetrinal instruction therein. The catechism is there," he feaned, in theory, but absent in study. The study of the lives of national heroes, | while "inspiratiomal and benefeial, of: ten should not be ind Said the speaker: "The 'Sunday schoo! must remain the Bible teaching service of then entire ¢hurch."

OF To Safeguard the City's Water Sup. ply=--The Board of Health Urges the Installation at a Conference. The question of installing a filtra- tion plant to give Kingston a purer water supply, in view of the increas ing contamination of the harbor through the emptying of sewage there in, is now before the civic utilities ¢ommittee, which will go fully into the matter, At its. last mec ing, the board ° of health passed a resolution to the ei fect that the chlorine treatment of the city's drinking water was not wholly satisfactory, and that in its opinion the city should install a filtration plant so as to avoid danger and pro tect the health of the citizens. On Tuesday afternoon, a deputation board of health, consisting the chairman, Archibald Strachan, Mayor Hoag, Henry-Taylor, Ald Bailey and the medical health offices Dr. Williamson, met with the utilities committee, and presented its recom mendation. The representative of the Bell Filtration company was also pres ent to explain the merits of the Rell filter, which could be installed for $38,000 s Ald. Rigney, chairman of the utili ties committee, promised the board of health that its recommendation would! receive careful consideration. of IN MARINE CIRCLES, Movements of Vessels in and Out of the Harbor, The steamer Dunelm passed down on Thursday morning, grain-laden on het way from Fort William, to Montreal The steamer Sowards cleared for Charlotte.

Some Farmers Find It Impossible To Do Any Work, This part of the country is flood- ed with water. The low lands are deep in it, and the farming commun- ity finds it dmpossible to do any work. There are stretches of land that have not been seeded. The hay crop promises to be immense on the high lands. It fs now several week: since* the farmers have been able to cultivate, Wednesday evening the weather changed in temperature and early Thursday, rain began to fall from the north-cast. with the prospect of a continual downpour all day.
