This probably the first time that American soldiers accompanied the B| body of a comrade to the burial place in Cahada. Private Binder paid a glowing tri- #| bute to the honour of the departed | soldier when he said; "I had just been acquainted with Fred a short while 8 | but I have never met anyone who so forcibly impressed me with his sterl- I felt, after having talked with him five minutes that I had known him all my life." Sergeant Sullivan, who 'was with Captain 'Denison at the time of his death described the fatality, in gra- phic words. He said that Fred had called upon him to go for a lttle pic- nic:to thesbeach not far out of Jack- : son. He was full of oy of living as they made their way onward. Arrived at _| the beach-they swam around awhile until Frank and his (the sergeant's) son, swam to the diving platform. Both dived from the lower boards without mishap and then Fred went to the topmost deck which must have been quite twenty-five feet above the water, which was, the sergeant ex- plained, exceptionally low. for. the .| season and he believed that Fred was |. unaware of -its shallow depth which could not have exceeded six feet. Fred hesitated a short while and then dived downward straight as an arrow. When he didn't come up dir- ectly . the. sergeant perceived that something was wrong and swam quickly. to. his: aid, He was taken to a hospital and for two days hope was felt "for his recovery which might have resulted from a sugcessful oper- ation. However, before. it could be performed the spinal column snapped '| at the seventh vertebrae and Fred died as he had lived, heroically, Such was the story as related by his friend and comrade, Patrick Sul- livan, At the cemetery the burial service was read, and three volleys rang out as the firing party sighted their rifles' above the soldier's body, then fixed bayonets and stood at the "présent" while the mournful notes of the "Last Post'! sounded, resound- ed to the distant and reassuring Reveille. One by one the soldiers filed past dropping each one; a token upon the coffin as they paid silent tribute to a comrade who was respected for his bravery and loved for his personal qualities.

Dr, Parker Miles, a lovable character, was our first speaker, and his happy beauty of expression will long be: re- membered, Last year we had Mr. Hivali, the Hindoo. Scholar. Each gave wonderful messages. + Dr. Frank Church gave some addresses that were startling, that were filled with slang and violent extremes; but which had in them some ideas that would be of inestimable value if incor- porated into the lives of men and.women. ~Shorn of all their theatricals, their coarseness, their slang and their extreme state- ments, those lectures still had in them much of real value. Most of -us-would listen with greater pleasure to truth clothed in-well tempered language, illustrated by life pictures with which we are accustofhed. These addresses we have weekly in our churches, and much as we may regret.it, we have a comparative handful of people to hear them; and they are those who in actual fact least need the message. How to reach these people who rarely or ever go to church i is a problem that is becoming increasingly acute not 80 much in fown like Port Perry but in the big cities, paFHiSUlanly in the Unitéd States. e language of many of those churchless people is dling, their pictures are extremes and their illustrations are vulgarities. They know life in ALL its rawness. To reach such a people with a religious message will require language of but little refinement and capable of carrying great hammering truths that shall batter through the indifference, the sneer, and the enmity and ake men and. women realize that there is a God; that Christ's messa is necessary. to them; that this world is "but tl first stage of li I? Dr. Frank C hurch made the mistake of bringing such-a mes- sage with all its rawness and extremes to a people who throughout life have lived in-a decent, law abiding manner, and he gave his message without revision. In other words he did not have time and perhaps has not the capacity to adapt himself to his audience, And yet-- Shall we deny that the world needs to learn the teachings of Jesus, rather than the teachings about Jesus? Shall we deny that the world needs to consider and adopt-the religion of Jesus rather than the religion about Jesus? 7 Shall we deny that the world is needing the friendship of esus ? Can we deny that while we are bickering as to religious terms millions of people never hear the "Good News" or if they do hear it, find-that-the language in which it is presented is unfamiliar? John Wesley said to any exhorter once--'"Has anybody been converted under your ministry?" And the answer was--'No." Then asked "Have you made anybody angry?" The answer again was--"No." "Then" said Wesley "you have not done your work properly.' ' Well Mr. Church made us think and made some of us mad. estirred us out of our self-complacency, and has given us a new impetus to defend our principles and work actively for God's Kingdom alohg the lines for which we personally are fitted. Dr. Church gave two remarkable addresses on Saturday. His "Spoonful of Sunshine" was oversize and gave an epigramatic form many practical hints as to how to keep a smiling face, chief of which was to do our best to help others to smile. In the even- ing he presented the problem of "Canada at the Crossroads" in a new guise. He showed great need of law-abiding citizenship. This point was illustrated by the O. T-eA. The speaker pointed out the fact that no spoken loyalty was 'half so valuable | as obedience to the laws of the country which the "grand old flag' represents. The O. T. A. is a law of Ontario and should be re- spected as long as it is on the StatuteBooks. It is the will of the majority of the people, and violation of the O. T. A. is violation of the principles of democracy. In the same manner the home is essential to the well-being of the nation and all that undermines it is traitorous. Clean manhood, and Sineere réligious. life are two other foundation stones which every-loyal citizen will-protect. This lecture will long be remembered in Port Perry, and should do great good. "The general ] program of Chautauqua this year was good. We did not care for the tent, but the superintendent, Mr. W. I. Griffith and Miss Davidson, Junior Superintendent, have both worked in- telligently and well for the comfort and betterment of the com- munity. The - children greatly enjoyed their Junior-Town sessions, the parade, and the circus, all of which were planned by Miss Davidson. Peitro La Verdi was a wonder. Rarely does one meet a man of so. many talents, so highly developed. Most of us would be proud if we could do one of the many things he does so well. ~~ * "The Molluse" was a most enjoyable play in which we all saw our neighbors. Personal application is a little more difficult. musical productions, and. if Chautauqua comes to Port Perry again they will bi welcome 'entertainers.

The tent was filled to capacity with, ce Topping claimed to have sav d th I boy in the front.seats, called out Ib a an re has a) a lie". He knew--he had been following the play. Dr. Truman Gordon is a speaker of different type to Dr. Frank Church. His address "Gold Nuggets" emphasized the : f the reat virtues in Jie "happiness--industry, integrity, gious conviction expressed in service--especially when ac- companied by health which is tie heritage of nearly all persons of good Jia habits.

A good tent would have done much to save the situation. However, all that has nothing to do with the splendid 'music provided by the Croation Tamburica Orchestra. What we heard was a fine guarantee of what the entire program would have been could it have been. completed. The native instrument of the Croations--the tamburica--is capable of producing exquisite music: under such skilled hands, and their singing was of great sweetness, harmony, and volume. _Of course we .did not know what they were talking about in their native songs, but the sing- ing was extremely pleasant to the ears. : ' So ends four years of Chautauqua. Shall we have it again? Personally we hope so, but quite realize that conditions will have to be different if we do. The biggest problem of Chautauqua is to secure an even dis- x tribution of the work of selling tickets, etc. Some few pedple work very hard at this part of the big affair. Others either can- not find the time or do not care to spend the time. If we lose Chautauqua it will be for lack of workers and because the whole matter has been left to a few people.
