Darkies’ Corners (Our Own Correspondent) We regret to have to write of the passing of baby Joyce Marie, beloved infant daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. W. Jacques. Despite all that loving care and medical skill could do, she slipped. away to her heavenly home Monday noon. A child specialist from Toronto and a trained nurse were called to give of their best in experience and care. but her stay on earth was ap- parently to be brief, only seven months, three days. All her short life she had not been strong, but had been tenderly cared for and to the sorrow stricken parents and sisters, Louise, Clara and Jean, all extend their heartfelt sym- pathy. The young people of the Presbyter- ian ‘hurch gathered at the church on Monday evening and spent a social time with Mr. and Mrs. Corry and they presented them with a parlor lamp and an address before they left for their new home in Toronto. Mr. Corry, on behalf of Mrs. Corry and himself . thanked them kindly and felt sorry at leaving but hoped to be back again often to see his many friends at Swin- ton Park.

Ferris attended the funeral of the late J. W. Ferris at Markdale on Thursday. Swinton Park ‘(Our Own Correspondent) Seeding operations have been slow here the past week, the weather being very disagreeable. Feed is getting scarce for the stock and a good many have turned their cattle out. A few sunny days would make things look different and the wave of seeding would soon start. Rev. Sullivan of the United Church held Communion on Sunday last and preached an impressive sermon to a full church. After school hours on Thursday Miss Lamont instructed the children in an entertaining way by telling two de- lightful stories, one entitled “The God Whom You Could Not Get Up on 9. Shelf”, the hero being a little Chinese boy who reasoned that the lifeless im- age having fallen from the shelf could not replace or even rouse itself, it was therefore utterly unable to hear or help him. Such reasoning led to the knowledge of the true God, procured friends for himself and a thorough ed- ucation in America from where he re- turned to his own land and had a 'school erected to educate Chinese boys. The Mission Band children were en- thusiastic over the story entitled “The Baby Elephant”. The cargo consigned to a rice boat was so great that the usual number of men’s and elephants’ combined strength proved insufficient to push the boat out from the dock until the baby elephant, though not wanted, appeared and aided with an enthusiastic push and the boat started on its journey out to the open sea. The lesson taught is that God accepts and blesses the children’s services. Miss Lamont, field secretary of the W. M. S., addressed the congregation [Of the Presbyterian church on Thurs- day evening, May 30, portraying clear- ly the conditions and needs of many of our Mission Fields. As a basis of her remarks she chose “Go Ye! ”. Every Christian church has this commission. Our India is our own people in our own land; our Samaria is the immigrants that have come to make Canada their home. Of whatever nationality or lan- guage, they are our New Canadians. The uttermost parts of the earth are still the dark places, continents or hearts where the gospel message has not reached. God’s command “Go Ye!” applies to us as well as his followers in India. The fields are still white to the harvest and the needs of others consti- tute our privilege and opportunity. Rev. 'G. Graham B. A., presided at the ev- ening. ;went from Holstein.
