Mrs. Hamilton, who is a very uent and pleasing speaker, said lthat a call for helpyhas come to jthe women of Canada from our |Government, which call is sup- :ported by the greater call from 5;the'Mother Country, and now we `must search` our hearts and "see !how we can. answer the call. In {England women are making aero- planes, munitions, working at. tanning, and also following ag- ricultural pursuits. It is true, there was a largerbodyof unem- ployed women in Great Britain before the war than inCanada, but there are many here who have a great deal of leisure and could devote their time to this work.` The contention is made that ag- riculture in Great Britain is dii`-| ferent from that in this cou ntry,l but there are many departments ,that might be elliciently handled by the women of Canada. A most inecessary thing is that we should use implements adapted to the ,work we have to do and thus re- move the drudgery. It is up to the women to keep up the food supply. Fruit growing and pool. ltry raising also offer good )p ll ings. The excuse is made that men shouldn t gofrom farms, but the speaker knew of several instances where the boys left the farms to work in munition fac- touies for a` high wage. The thing we want to get at is the diffusion of labor, an interchange of work to adjust labor condi- tions and keep Canada normal. Keep down the prices and up the supply.

Elliott of Midland re- minded him that the church is the greatest business in the world and its etliciency is judged by its product. A n'n'nister s work is mainly of two kinds---pulpit and 1iastm-al. For preaching`, a man must he a diligent student of the hihle and a wide reader, so that he may be thoroughly equipped to present the truth in aclear `light. Pastoral work is noteasy in these days of complex society. The formal pastoral call is not necessary t..o success, but a min- ister should know well his people and be interested in everything that interests them. He should make friendsswith. the children, both for the sake of the little ones and also for his own sake that he may not lose the beauti_ ful things of childhood. After referring to the world crisis, the speaker said that if ever the pul- pit needed strong leadership it is in these trying days. He congrat- ulated Mr. Brown on his great- opportunity for doing` a man's work, and felt sure that his worlr and personal character would es. tahlish him rmly in the hearts of the people. Concluding, Mr. E1- liott said that Mr. Brown was following in the footsteps of one who had given many years of able and efficient service and he hoped that the new leader might like- wise be a happy minister among .a happy and s_piritually minded people.

INQUEST-I DISGLOSED 3u1' FEW new FACTS At the inquest. concluded before Coronerhwallwin yesterday, the evidence disclosed little informa-. ation that would throw light on the cause of D. W. Bolton s fatal accident, in addition to what has already appeared in these col- umns. The person who probably had the best View of the accident was Bert Modley, who lives on D. Quinlan s farm SIX miles out Yonge St. and was not fty feet. away when Mr. Bolton s car was struck. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury, who, however, added a rider that in their opinion an electric alarm ` bell is not suIIicient~prot.ection for the public at such a crossing. The Evidence Conductor Alf. Lee said they were running down grade at_ 30 miles an hour. There was a strong wind and a little snow, but not enough to impede the vision. The track crosses Yonge St. at right angles and there is a good view of it from the road for 75 to 100 feet south. Just before reaching the crossing the whistle I.sounded six times and the bell llwas ringing. .! Dlk` Innlv nvxry-;r/snn nn:.l `1'\f\` was not called by the Crown. This - of Aurora.

The whistle was blown a gquarteiumile from the crossing land anyone on Yonge St. in that `vicinity should have heard it. He saw Mr. Bolton s car when the !cn,e:ine was about 100 feet from }'the crossing. The- aiitomobile Iwas about 12 feet from the cross- ling. and apparently standing Still. Suddenly the motor moved towards the track. the engine be- ling then about 50 feet. away. 'W'itness knew it was then all` up Iwith the motorist. and he im- lmediately whistled `and applied Icmerszency brakes. 'l`he car was- n t pitched, just shoved aside in- side the G.T.R. fence. Just before the collision, the car seemed to turn towards the east, and the ,engine hit it right behind the lfront wheels. Had the car been }across both rails nothing would ihave been left of it.. To him it lseemed as though Mr. Bolton had {got excited. and taking his foot off the brake had let his car go iahead.

The church should be a spiritual home, marked by unity, harmony and mutual help- fulness.` It is a school with all its members disciples in the school of life. It is a sanctuary -for communion with God and fel- V lowship with one another. The church should develope and strengthen the feeling of the rel- ation between man and God, vit- alize the heart and thought forc- es, stir the consciences and leads men to act. Socially and intell- ectually as well as spiritually the church should help man.
