Durâ€" ing thousands of years the waves f the lake urged by easterly Ftorms slowly built a bar from éast to west across the opening of ‘the bay, leaving a gap of !4 a ‘mile at the west end. The shores of the bay are formed of rather Jow morainic hills, and since wave action was rather feeble in the heltered waters inside the bar, eir exact position is hard to deâ€" rmine. In the map the edge of e bay is made to come between e 400 and 425 foot contours of e topographic map, and runs irâ€" gularly north from Lambton to eston bends a little northeast in the valley of the Black Creek, and thn turns southeast to Davenport Railway Station. The Humber was filling up the basin to the north with sediment, gravel in places, but more often sandy, finishing with a few feet of clay ovr much of the sand. The river probably flowed. through the middle of the valley during the early, low water stage of Lake Iroquois, but was crowded over to the west as the bar advanced, and toward the end meandered in marshy flats on that side of the shoaling bay. When the ice dam at the thousand island melted, and the water fell below the level of Lake Ontario, the Humber quickly eut down its bed through the soft gediments until it reached the rock, but then worked much more slowâ€" ly. It now flows largely on a rock bottom along the western side of the valley which has a verâ€" tical cliff of shale often 40 feet high; while its small tributary, Black Creek, keeps to the opposite side of the valley, and nowhere reaches bed rock. ‘The Dennis Flats The creek, working in clay and gand and swinging from side to side, has ‘excavated a broad inâ€" terior valley below the original level, and near the city limits on Weston Road, more than 60 feet of sand and clay may be seen beâ€" tween its floor and the flat surâ€" face of the Iroquois plain. The steeply walled side of the valley S‘xclose rich bottom soil used for arket gardens, with here and there an island lake remnant risâ€" ing to the general level, making, when wooded, very picturesque scenery. _ (These_market gardens are the Dennis Flats). The 5 or EO feet of clay which forms the urface of the plain in some parts has been largely removed for makâ€" ing brick, the weathered upper part burning red, and the lower part, buff. .

In Lumley and Fox pit, (on the edge of Weston) the thickness worked is 22 feet at the south end, thinning toward the north; and the amount of gravel mixed with the sand is much less. At Weston still farther north showed only clay, suggesting a change from coarse materials to fine, as one goes north from the Davenport bat, but this cannot be considered a general rule in the Humber valley.

More â€" interesting still are the animal remains unearthed in the main gravel bar rumning West ’from Davenport â€" Station, where from time to time bones of Caribou have turned up at the bottom of the gravel just over the clay &eneath. These seem to be shed horns, since. bones of the animal are rarely found. In addition a few fragments of elephantine bones prove that mamâ€" moths or mastodons frequented the ;ld beach. The mammoth remains ound in digging for a basement at Gunn‘s stockyard should be menâ€" tioned also.

Christian Science "Soul" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon which was read in all churches of Christ, Sctentisi, throughout the world, including Third Church ofâ€" Christ, Scientist, 70 High Park Ave., at 11.00 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. and broadcast over Station CFRB at 11.00 a.m. on Sunday, February 17th, 1946. The Golden Text was "The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but the Lord shall be unto thee an everâ€" lasting light, and the God thy glow." (Isaiahâ€"60:19). Correlative citations from the Christian Science textbook ‘Science and health with Key to the Scripâ€" tures‘ by Mary Baker Eddy, inâ€" cluded the following from page sion, with many material comâ€" forts, but it does not hold within itself the security and peace of home for which we long. ft cannot shield us frome vil and unhappiness. But home spiritually understood is as expensive and as permanent as God‘s love, which we as His image, Iand likeness reflects and express ‘in true brotherhood. Thus ‘the reality and substance of home are not in matter or material wealth, but in spiritual qualities. Home cannot be bought or sold. |It cannot be rented or be for rent. | It cannot be given away, nor can it ‘be had for nothing. The price we | pay for home is obediece to the diâ€" vine law of loving God, good, suâ€" premely, and our neighbour as ourâ€" self; in doing unto others as we i would have them do unto us. Selections from the Bible inâ€" cluded the foilowing from Isaiah 61:1: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidâ€" ings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." 322: "When understanding changes the standpoints of life and intelliâ€" gence from a material to a spiâ€" ritual basis, we shall gain the realâ€" ity of &ife, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall perceive Christianity, or Truth, in its diâ€" vine Principle. This must be the climax before harmonious and imâ€" mortal man is obtained and his capabilities revealed." The longing to go home and the need to find a home, so prevalent in the world today, should.awaken though to the fundamental need for a more spiritual concept of home, an understanding of the diâ€" vine Principle on which it is based. A house may be a good lposses- sion, with many material comâ€" In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" on page 58, Mary Baker Eddy, the Disâ€" coverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes, "Home is the dearâ€" est spot on earth, and it should be the centre, though not the boundâ€" ary, of the affections." However wide, useful, and satisfying one‘s activities may be, mo day is comâ€" plete without a homeâ€"returning. Honor, _ understanding, _ loyalty, generosity, encouragement, order and fitness, a smile, a song, A pleasant word, are among the vaâ€" lues that make home priceless, beautiful, end enduring. In his Sermon on the Mount} our great Master, Christ Jesus, said to his listeners (Matthew 6:33), "Seck ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Home is indeed one of the things that is added as we truly seek God‘s kingdom first.

Everyone seems to agree that the experiment with the talking picture from Cathedral Films was a decided success. The projector operator, who knows his pictures, sws there wasn‘t a weak spot in "We Also Receive" and there was no doubt about the religious and teaching values of the film.

After our worship service last Sunday we had the opportunity to see a moving picture based on the work done by the Christian Fuzzyâ€" Wuzzy Headâ€"hunters of the South West Pacific. An American fighter pilot shot down by the Japs was rescued from behind the Japanese lines on the small Pacific Island by one of these natives. This naâ€" tive came as if in answer to the young American‘s pra‘vey'and later Christians. on saved more than half a dozen other members of the American forces with the aid of more Fuzzyâ€" Wuzzies. They saved these men by carrying them over the mounâ€" tains to medical aid and thus saved them from gangrene setting into their wounds. This is just one of the many acts performed by these rig black Christian natives. We wish to thank Mr. Carl Caskey for giving up his Sunday afternoon to show us this picture.
