He returned to Englehar't, ,and was then sent to Kenebec, on the Elk Lake branch, where he assisted in the distribution of hay and fod- der to the farmers, whose animals were in danger of starving. Two tons of hay and three tons `of straw were allowed each head of cattle, to last them the winter. Some fty families were burned out in this sec- tion. Lumber was also given out to the settlers to` help them build new homes. Each man was allowed suf- ficient lumber to build a 20x16 shack, besides two doors, four win- dows, hinges and nails.

Secretary Treasurer Morris, of the Trustees and Ratepayers Association, wanted to know if the ministers were urging religious instruction in the schools because the church had been remiss in its_ duty. Only fty per cent. of the Protestant pupils in Pub- Jic Schools attended Sunday Schools, he said, and the church has only twenty per cent. of its children at its services, according to authoritative` `statistics. The ministers don t get into the Sunday Schools, he declared. Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs and the Y.M.C.A. are doing the work the churches. were intended to do. ,M'rs. Todd 01" Orillia, presiding at the meeting, felt that the reason for the condition of "affairs outlined by Mr. Morris is the lack of Bible study in the schools. Various opinions were expressed from the audience by peo- ple of divergent views. One school ` teacher earned considerable applause by stating that Bible instruction was - taken up in the schools, a chapter of Scripture being read every morning before opening classes--"and this is more than a great many of the pupils Public School ` Inspector Garvinl urged caution in dealing with the? subject.
