He was among the Jewish exiles who re- turned from the Babylonian captivity with Zerubabbel in the year 536 8.0. They had restored the altar of Jeho- vah and laid the foundation of the temple. Then the people grew indiffer- ent and became much more interested in the building of their own homes and in making their fortunes. Then Haggai heard God‘s voice calling to him to inspire the people to complete the temple and to assure the peOple “the glory of this latter house should be greater than the former.” The de- sire of all nations.” which is Jesus Christ, would not. only bring glory to that, temple of olden days but brings The penitent with outstretched palm, These are days of .competition and "every little bit helps".

The Dromore socie- ty took charge of the meeting. Their president, Mrs. Honeyman, opened the meeting by the singing at hymn 531. The Scripture lesson, Matthew xizi6-31 was taken. and prayer by Mrs. Honey- xnan followed. The roll call was re- sponded to by a verse of Scripture on “Rest.” Miss Bessie Drimmie gave an excellent paper on Mark xvizsl, “Come ye, yourselves apart into a desert place and reSt awhle.” It was God’s command to His disciples to “come apart and rest awhile." So we must have rest. The Presbyterian Women's Mission- ary Society had the Brown W. M. 8. ladies as their guests for their reguâ€" lar monthly meeting on Friday, August 12. God calls us home to test when our earthly tasks are over. Mrs. Wilfred Renwick and Mrs. Drimmie sang a duet in pleasing harm- ony. A sketch on “Women Who Build,” was given by the following ladies: “Home,” Mrs. Henderson; “Church,” Mrs. Nicholson; “Prayer,” Mrs. Adams; “Nation,” Mrs. McMurradoo; “World,” Mrs. J. Eccles; “Tomorrow,” Mrs. Phil- lips; “Eternity,” Mrs. Patterson. Mrs. Taylor lead in prayer. A solo, “Building for Eternity," was well rendered by Mrs. Wilfred Ren- wick, accompanied by Mrs. Patterson. Hymn 270 was sung and Mrs. Sharpe voiced words of appreciation for the splendid program. *Mrs. Renton closed the meeting by repeating the benediction. A social half hour was enjoyed over the tea cups. During July there were 3,313 accio dents reported to the Workmen’s Com- pensation Board, 19 of these being fa- tal cases. There were 3,614 accidents during June, and 4,945 during July 3 year ago.

Durham ’nd Grace Smith, of Guelph. It was with some misgivings that we looked forward to packing three people in a one-seated car but as we advanced on our Journey we experienced little discomfort, the close proximity only tending to increase the harmony and good feeling. We reached North Bay about 3 o’clock of the first afternoon, having covered about 250 miles of our journey. We first registered at the Empire Ho- tel, where we had very pleasant quar- ters and then drove around the town getting a superficial view oi it, shop- ping a little and admiring the blue wa- ters of Lake Nipissing, on which it is situated. That night we spent in the picture show, our one form of enter- tainment at each of our stopping- Wednesday morning gave us a change of weather, with rain and gloom, and, going out of town, we took the wrong roadâ€"the road to Sudburyâ€" and a greasy detour road it was, too.. However, we soon found out our mis- take, finally making the right exit about 9 o'clock. About three miles from North Bay at a small roadside station we were brought to a standstill to be, handed a travellers’ permit. for we were just then entering a great government reserve. This was a delightful exper- ience as we passed through miles and miles of virgin forest of tall pines and hardwoods. The denizens of this for- est have not yet fully learned the fear of man. Partridge families walked de- murely on the highway not in any haste to allow us to pass; rabbits bounded across and at one place threel deer crossed ahead of us. The odor of the pines and the woodsy tang of the forest dripping with rain came to us as we drove along. The Ferguson High- way makes very pleasant motoring, but ' in this forest it had its humorous side, too, as the road took us over a succes-. ion of hillsâ€"hills that you climbed and then descendedâ€"mine coasters we call- ed them. The youngest member of our party said, “I’d rather go over these toboggan slides after a meal than be- fore it.” The road wound around rocks and hills, often giving us a pleasant surprise in a glassy lake or stream. Here and there parties of tourists were [camped but the main tourist camp is at Lake Timagami, which lies pretty well to the far side of this forest. It is quite a large lake. dotted with many islandsâ€"1,600 we were toldâ€"and a steamer plies it, affording a pleasure trip to sight-39ers. Timagami itself is only a small place, consisting of a large hotel and a number of caBins. In these cabins complete tourist ac- commodation is given. as meals are served here. By the time we reached Latchford we had really emerged from this 80 miles of forest. grain crop. The grain was a mixture of oats and peas and stood high and thick. The garden would be a credit to any Southern Ontario gardener. The potato shows were luxuriant and in beets, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, etc.. all a good crap. At Porquis I made an appointment with a Mr. Hopkins. by the way a relative of the Hopkins fam- ily oi Hutton Hill. although born end brought up on Manitoulin Island. to loe: Earlton, Englehart, all interesting- looking places. the latter being a fair- sized town. Our journey now lay through an open and level country, resembling some- what the prairie lands of the West. This is farming land and no better crops than what are here have I ever seen. Haying was in progress. potatoes were in blossom and a profusion of flowers adorned the homesteads. Here the barns are fine and large and the houses modern and attractive build- ings. We passed through Thorn- part almost with that of Earlton and Thornloe. At Monteith is a government experimental farm and school. At Por- quis Junction a branch line runs to Iroquois Falls and mother to Timmins. Here we were taken to a homestead to get a close-up view of a garden and I topk with me two travelling com- Farther up the Ferguson Highway we entered another forestâ€"this time of white spruce and paplar. These trees are tall and straight, but small in girth. and this is the famous pulpwood of Northern Ontario. This forest runs for miles along the highway. 0n emerg- ing we enter again a second taming districtâ€"the country around Matheson, Monteith and Porquis Junctionâ€"on a bleoxh; there were the regulation vegeJ tables of Southern Ontario, carrots, THREE WOMEN IN A PONTIAC BY ntumuuo'clockmundtytoeeet vetenn great In which I was Interest- ed.WethehtumedoatheW Highwuy to mike (or W. 40 miles away, where we purposed ethy- ing over night. We found the road to Timmins,thoughjustaagoodaetho Ferguson Highway, but we vote real- ly journeying back. as Timmins lies to the southwest of Pomuia. We ar- rived at our destination shortly after dark. having passed through Porcupine and South Porcupine, two mining towns a short distance from Thnmins. We stayed here at another moire Hotel run by the same company as the one at North Bay. We got the last room as the hotel was full that night, of those who would cornpete in the golf tournament to be held the following day. The next day we drove around the town. getting a general view of it. We were taken through the High School which we were interested in, as Miss McNamara. a former teacher in of the st“! . The building £5 a new one and up-to-dnte. and the school oflers a technical education as well 0.3 the training comprises courses in domestic science. woodwork, mining, commerce end electricity. We were delighted to have seen the school but the time con- sumed in this prevented us from see- ing the McIntyre mine, a treat we had contemplated giving ourselves. since Mr. Angus McKelvey. of New Liskeard, had directed us to the manager of Me- Intyre. We hastened beck to Porquis and I spent the afternoon walking through tag alders to get to the farm I was interested in. I returned enriched by the gift of a bearskin. the bear hav- ing been shot on the farm in April last. Just where we left the car stood the home of a Polish couple and we were taken in to it by our guides to see their flower garden. The garden was gay with the flowers we have in Southern Ontarioâ€"roses. bleeding hearts. pep- pies. daisiesâ€"all the varieties. even to the delicate babies' breath. While I was inspecting the farm my two com- panions entertained themselves sleep- ing and then picking and eating blue berries which grew in abundance by the We left for Cochrane about 6 o‘clock which was about 40 miles distant. and arrived in good time by daylight. The country passed through was the least attractive of any which we had yet. seen, the houses being mere shacks of spruce logs and the soil rather san- dy, although we were assured in Coch- rane that it was a good farming sec- tion. All had a primitive look, however. Cochrane itself stands on high ground and is spread out, and depends on the railways, it being the junction of the T. 8: N. O. and what was the G. T. R. formerly. The hotels. too, were not the best. We were urged in Cochrane not to return until we had seen Kapus- kasing, which we were told lay 84 miles directly west and could be reached by motor 0'. er a good road. Rather reluc- tantly I consented to go. The road to Kapuskasing passed on the main through a pulpwood country. It was a good road and through a level country. At one place we had to be ferried across a riverâ€"a river with the ridiculous name of Ground Hog river. The houses at the Cochrane end were of the spruce log kind, but nearer Kapuskasing they changed to modern ones of frame. Our first view of the town was an ample reward for our ad- ditional 84 miles of travel. Kapuskas- ing is the‘show place of the North. It has a huge paper mill. employing from 700 to 900 men and supplies all the paper for the New York'Tribune. It is owned by a joint American and Can- adian Company, who have bought up pulpwood to last their mill 35 years, running 6 days per week. This Com- pany owns the whole town, which has been built up in the last three years. the buildings of which are very modern and attractive. The Kapuskasing Inn, a lovely large red brick building with white stucco trimming. is built in an arc of a circle to conform in shape to a round lake in the centre of the town. The surface of this lake is about 30 feet below the ground level. its sides sloping up. On the slope in front of the Inn is a rock garden and all around the lake are shrubs and bright colored flowers. We had intended only to visit the mill, take a cursory view of the town and return on our journey, but we were so charmed by the place that we could not tear ourselves away at once. but had to stay the night. The hotel management offered us a lovely suite of rooms on the first floor at a very reasonable price and we gave in at once to stay. It was a delightful visit. Besides the hotel there is a community club house built and furnished by the Sprucedale Paper Go. There are two very lame sitting-rooms. beautiiully furnished, an auditorium m a pic- ture show is given each evening. a gym- nasium where all aorta of sports may be played. a bowling alley. etc.. etc” and a well-kept mataurant. The town also supports a line meal. 0:: the west aide or the town. where was the old German detention camp. is a m- (Continued on page 6.) PAGE 8
