For the days are gray since you wen away ' The world is dark in many places. It needs to be set aglow with cheer. So many hearts need the rays of un- derstanding; so many lives need the sunlight of kindliness. It has been said “Let not your hearts be troubled”. But sometimes, for a little while hearts are troubled. Even the home town seems a desolate place. It’s a great thing to light the lamps for someone in the dark. We do not need a lab- oratory demonstration to prove that faith brings reward. Happiness comes again, and finafly peace.

It is 30 years since Mr. Batson practised law here 'and 'since that time has been located at different places in the States and Canada, re- turning to Toronto“ a short time ago. Despite the fact that we had not seen him since 1897, when he walked into our sanctum and asked us to “guess” whom he was, we did so without even a falter.
