At the biennial synod of the Diocese of Moosonee, held at Cochâ€" rane recentiy, Rev. W. P. Griffiths reported on the work of ‘*holding Sunday School by post.‘‘ An invitaâ€" tion was extended to . anyone knowâ€" ing of children living out of reach of Sunday School influences to send the names and addresses to Rev. W. P. Griffiths. ~Sunday Scehool literature, a course of study with questions to he answered will go forward regularly. Rev. W, P. Griffiths, secretary of this department of the Anglican Chureh in the North, is rector of St. Marks, Iroquois Falls. The North Land led in bringing to Ontario the idea of the correspondâ€" ence school plan for the education of children in the sparselyâ€"settled areas, where there are not enough settlers to support new schools and where existing schools are too far away to be available. The Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade pressed the plan upon the attention of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Premier of Onâ€" tario, and with his usual desire to advance education and ass#st the North, the Premier had the corâ€" respondence idea adopted to meet the cireumstances. Children in sparselyâ€" settled sections of this North are right now enjoying the advantages of education by the correspondence plan.

At present there are no hospital facilities in Red Lake, but it is reâ€" ported that arrangements are being made to get a Red Cross unit into the camp before the spring breakâ€"up. So far the camp and trail have been reâ€" markably free from accidents or cases or serious illness. The only cases were the victims of the airâ€" plane crash both of whom are reâ€" covering nicely. =. OFFICERS OF THE SYNOD OF DIOCESE OF MOOSONEE. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. . A. J. SKELLY FIRST DOCTOR IN RED LAKE CAMP The town garage now stands; The boss, a clever man is he, With black and greasy hands: The things that fill his heart with glee Are brakes with wornâ€"out bands. He goes each morning to his bench And spreads his tools about ; Naught can his searching spirit quench, For if he is in doubt, He grabs his trusty monkey wrench And yanks the engine out! From dawn till dark, the liveâ€"long day He fixes sulky plugs, The gaskets that have worn away, The time rims minus lugs, And brake rods that have too much play And knocks and pounds and chugs. Oh, happy man, you are not rash, And may you never be! You win, whenever there‘s a smash! Your job looks good to me, You do your work. collect the cash, The Village Blacksmith, famed in song and story, is just about passed away with the passing of the horse. The horse has béen run out by the auto. The village blacksmith has given place to the village garage man, and a reader of The Advance has sent in this poem by George S. Chappell, on ‘‘The Village Garage Man‘‘:â€" Under the spreading chestnut tree THE SUCCESSOR TO THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH ‘‘Who are the chivalrous? Are they not those who are ready to proâ€" tect the weak and to rescue the sufâ€" fering? â€" A rightâ€"minded man or woman will feel bound to go to the heip of an abused animal. The fact that we are well served by the horses, dogs and other animals we own, and the further fact that these blindly trust themselves in our hands, make it our binding duty to be kind to them and do what we can to shield them from iil usage. The friends of the dumb creation in this city are organâ€" ized in the Humane Society, and it is a satisfaction to every merciful man and woman in Toronto to show that there are so many citizens associated together to protect the domesticated animals, even at great personal sacâ€" rifice and often in the face of ruffianâ€" ly demonstrations against themselves. And what one of us will refuse to conâ€" tribute'something to the fund that is raised to carry on the service of proâ€" viding fair and kindly treatment to our dependent fellowâ€"creatures of the brute creation? No man who stops for a moment to reflect can deny that he owes something to the faithful serâ€" vice of a dog or horse, or that some member of his family had the affecâ€" tion of a pet of this kind. So we ask our friends to spare something toâ€" morrow for the tag box that will be presented to them as they go downâ€" town and spare it without grudge. The Humane Society ought to be made to feel that it has the warmâ€" hearted backing of all the people. It deserves no less."‘ ‘‘The righteous man regardeth the life of his beast. Tested by this proâ€" verb, many people would be found unâ€" 3r1(rhteous, for among our domesticatâ€" ed animals there is much suffering beâ€" cause of the neglect or downrlght creulty of owners. Horses, dogs, catâ€" tle, cats, and other dumb creatures are left to starve or find their living as they can, and in not a few cases are ruthlessly abused by vicious persons. Horses that get a minimum of food, that have _"al]ed shoulders, and are laft unshod are required to draw heavy loads over rough and slippery roads. Such inhumanity is rarer than it was some years ago, and the reason for the improvement is, not that there is less ceapacity for brutaliâ€" ty, but that the Humane Society is growing in resourcefulness and in the will power to bring the guilty to puniâ€" shment. _ What a disgrace it would be, not simply to the inhumane, but even more so to the merciful, if the animals we employ in our service were left altogether to the tender mercies of uglyâ€"tempered people and of wanton inflicters of pain! as well. In this connection a recent editorial in The Mail Empire is not out of place. Change the word Toâ€" ronto to Timmins and the editorial apâ€" plies itself perfectly here. The Mail Empire says:â€" The Timmins branch of the Humane Society is holding a sale of produce and home cooking at 20 Pine street, opposite the post office, on Saturday of this week, May 1st. In mentioning the event last week The Advance sugâ€" gested that the cause was a particuâ€" larly good one. A reader asks why the cause should be considered speciâ€" ally worthy of support. In previous issues The Advance has shown why. To ‘‘speak for those who cannot speak for themselves‘‘ is surely a worthy cause. To protect dumb aniâ€" mals from abuse and neglect is cerâ€" tainly a worthy eause. To attempt to better conditions for animals is asâ€" suredly a worthy cause. _ Improveâ€" ment of conditions for animals, the doing away with cruelty and inhuâ€" mane methods not only betters the lives of the animals but it also makes for a higher state of living and standâ€" ards of »civilization among the people HUMANE SOCIETY SPFAKS FOR DUMB AND Accordingly Should Have the Support of All Who are Kind and Chiâ€" valrous. Sudbury Horticultural Society has now over 300 members. HUNT, At the business session of the meetâ€" ing it was decided to hold another open dance in connection with the Soâ€" ciety before the next meeting. The same gentlemen who handled the last open ‘dance so creditably and successâ€" fully, (Messrs W. Shewan and R. H. Gray), are to have charge of the comâ€" ing event, with the coâ€" operatlon of the ladies‘ committee, «_ The regular meeting of the Calodoâ€" nian Society in the Hollinger Hall last Friday evening was very largely attended and proved most enjoyable throughout. The President, Mr. W. D. Watt, oceupied the chair for the business part of the meeting. After the business had been concluded, Mr. Wm. Shewan, who was in charge of the programme for the evening, took the chair and conducted the rest of the evening in very capable way. Moreover, he had a programme of _pleasing excellence throughout. There was not a poor number on the list and all the various items were much ap preciated. There were many pleasâ€" ng dances enjoyed during the evenâ€" ing, Mr. Geo, Hale at the piano proâ€" viding very attractive music. The comic song by Mr. Fisher made a big hit, on merit, and was uproariously encored. Mr. Fisher has a fine voice and an inimitable manner for humorâ€" ous songs and his second number was even more earnestly applauded than the first suceess. A humorous Scotâ€" tish reading was given by G. A. Macâ€" donald, and was well received., The singing of Mr. Pyper was one of the special treats of the evening. His fine tenor voice was heard to advanâ€" tage in selections of particular beauty given with rare expressiveness. He was recalled again and again. Miss Maisie Roberts gave a perfect renâ€" dition of the Highland Fling, grace ful and harmonious, and the audience rightly insisted on an encore. Mr. E. R. Street, in attractive songs given with attractive voice and fine musiâ€" cal perception, delighted all and won very hearty recall and the sincerest appreciation. _ The guitar selection by Mir. W. Poad was the sweetest of music played by a.gifted master: on the instrument. The gathering showed its appreciation not only by a decided encore but by the soundless attention given these excellent numâ€" bers. Mr. Davidson‘s humorous songs were much enjoyed. His stuttering song was very well given, and receivâ€" ed very pronounced encore. His reâ€" sponding number, a ‘‘laughing song,"" set the audience roaring anew.
