It was pointed out that since the passing of the Ontario Act, this could not be done. The nroperty of all non-concurring congregations goes automatically into the contin- uing church which Is to be formed after June 10 and is not in the cen- trol of the individual congregation. There is nothing to prevent the. peo- ple remaining independent if they wished to remain. but they do so without their proverty. This amend- ment was intrmluced by the Ontario Legislature to bring to an end an insidious campaign by the l'nion- ists. to keep congregations in a per- petual state of unrest in the hope of ultimately swinging them into l‘nion. It is an important amend- ment and makes it possible for congregations to begin at once act- “'0‘. aggressive work for the king- dom of God. "Particular interest ceny-ed in a meeting at the close of the evening service. when an opportunity was given to present questions on any points which have been causing dif- fleulties or were not clear. Full ad- vantages were taken of the oppor- tunity. and about a dozen questions were presented which covered the ground quite full‘y. An enthusiastic meeting of the non-concurring . Presbyterian: of Priceville and district was held in Priceville on Monday evening, when the matter of forming a new church was freely discussed and many mat- ters of interest to the continuing body were gone into. About 50 were present, and though there is nothing as yet to pass out to the press, there inay he developments in the course of a few weeks. The following from .Tlie Erin Advocate has been sent in to The Chronicle with the request that it he published: ‘ "The Presbyterians of Hillsburg on Sunday last enjoyed a fine oppor- tunity of getting full and authentic information on the Church lTnion situation, the preacher of the day being the Rev.

The seeds may be broadcasted or sown in lines; where numbers of varieties are to be sown, the latter is the best practice, the smaller seeds being covered very lightly and with only the finest of sifted soil. ,The mistake of sowing thickly should not be made. Careful Watering Necessary Water may be applied to the soil either by immersion of the recep- tacles. or by overhead applications. The latter should be made by means of a can with a fine sprinkler. The soil should, as far as possible, be kept in a merely moist condition and never be allowed. to become stagnant. Water should preferably be applied before noon so that the seedlings will be perfectly dry be- fore nightfall; otherwise the may, be killed by the “damping o ‘ dis- ease caused by the fungus Pythium.

It is essential to have good drain- age in the boxes, thus four or five holes should be bored in the bottom of each. In the boxes should first be placed a layer of broken flower pots (crocks) or broken clinkers, upon which should be placed a layer of leaf soil, or the coarse siftin from the soil. Upon this the fine y screened soil to be composed of two parts loam, one part leaf soil or one part well rotted manure and a little sand should be placed. The soil should now be pressed lightly down- ward with a smooth object and the seeds he sown. In the preparation of shallow earthenware receptacles to receive the seeds, the process is much the same as for boxes. “m3 name rum (Henry J. Moore) There are a few annual flower- in plants which now should be so‘wn indoors to furnish a display of bloom in our gardens, such as Stocks, Astere, Zinnias, Cockacthe, Balsams, Caledula, Cohma (Climb- er), Dianthus, Nicotine and Verbena. They may he sown in boxes in the window. greenhouse, or on the gar- den frame bed. The soil to receive them should he very finely screened and be of a porous nature.

He thought it had been stolen or had crawled away and died. On the twenty-first of March, his boy was hunting the eggs in the barn. There was a likely spot behind some hay close to the silo, so he crawled in and was surprised to see the head of a turkey protruding above the pile.

It had subsisted on not ing but what hay it could pick up all that time and also had not water to drink.

Just returned from Golden Valley near Merton, and besides car loads of fine {arch and “suckers”, Jack bro t one with him an immense back hear pelt which was removed from the carcass of the 400 pound bruin which he shot. According to the story told, the anglers needed “suckers” with which to bait their hooks for larger finny game, and these they obtained from a creek near camp. So many were secured, however, that it was necessary to cache :1 number on the shore until morning. Returning the next day, the anglers were amazed to see a monstrous bear making in- roads on the supply of bait. A gun was obtained by Jim Bartl'ey, the guide, at his house, and with three well-directed pellets, Jack put bruin where he would steal no more fish. Examined afterwards by the guide, the anglers were assured that the hear was the largest that had been bagged in that vicinity for many a year.
