Bo Suggests Canon Skey in Inâ€" spiring Sermon. TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD 1 100 MUGA SELF PITY #~The preacher at both services at St. Matthew‘s church, Timmins, on Sunday last was (Rev. Canon Skey, of: Toronto. The church was erowded to the doors for the evening service, additional chairs being used to acâ€" commodate the special attendance. Revy Canon Skey proved an eloquent and inspiring preacher and his ad dresses were listened _ with the greatest appreciation. At the evenâ€" ing service he explained that the purâ€" pose of his visit was to further the cause of the Colonial and Continental Society, the missionary organization which had done so much for the comâ€" munities of the North Land and other sections of the world. ‘""*ILt < is a worthy cause, indeed,""* said Canon Skey, *‘*tbut reason and argumsnt are not the best means to induce you to support it to the limit. The greatest inspiration you can have. to this or any other good act or cause is just the love of God in your hearts.‘‘ _ So Canon Skey turned to preach on love. He cited the example of the wonderâ€" ful love of Hosea the prophet, a love that forgot self and was ail forgiving. ‘*The trouble with the world toâ€"day,"‘ said Canon SkevÂ¥, ‘"‘is that we are all T"Sam Norman, the colored gentleâ€" man who used a knife in a row here some weeks ago overâ€"a card game disâ€" pute, was sentenced to two years at Kingston on Monday at Cochrane by Judge Caron. Norman conducted his own defence with considerable cleverâ€" ness, but the case against him was more or less like the knife, ‘*tan open and affair. Chief M. Greer was in Cochrane for the case and gave material evidence against the accused, while other important testimony aâ€" gainst him was given by witnesses of the stabbing or slashing affrav. said Canon Skey, ‘"‘is that we are all too sorry for ourselves."" He pointed out that true love made men forget themselves in their thought for others. and when men had this love the world necessarily became better and hapâ€" pier place for all.‘, #7#° GIVEN TWO YEAR TERM POR USING KNIFE IN ROW HERE GRAY‘S DRUG STORE BROKEN INTO, BUT LITTLE TAKEN Tomorrow (Thursday) will be a busy day at police court here. _ In addition to remanded cases there are seven cases where citizens are charg ed with obstructing the streets by piling wood or leaving wagons or other paraphernalia on the roadways.
