Michell, M. diocesan secretary of the Couneil for Social service, gave to the members, in a fifteen-minute address to the synod on Welnesday morning. Prof. Michell distributed to the members copies of the report of the council for social service, and stated that-he had nothing much to add to it. He pointed out that there had been considerable activity in Kings- ton. During the year, the speaker had sent out 30,000 pleces of litera- ture. Over 1,300 replies had been received. The speaker had sent out upwards of five hundred letters. "I think we have reason to be proud of what we have accomplish- ed," added the speaker, I am con- vinced that our propaganda is taking hold. TI have received scores of let- ters from all over Canada, commend- ing our work, We have been working under a great difficulty. We have not yet secured a secretary. At the present moment we have not a secretary, and have not the money to cover his salary." Prof. Michell stated that this last year, double the amount of the pre- vious year had been raised for the work. "We are casting our bread on the| waters, and we are meeting with| much success," said the speaker at} the close of his brief, but very im-| pressive address, and as he sat down, the members of synod gave a hearty round of applause. Canon H. H. Bedford Jones mov- ed, seconded by Francis King, that the synod accept the appointment of $8.390 for M.S.C.C, for the current | year, $7,390, to be included in the apportionment to parishes, the extra $1,000 for northwest needs, to be appealed for in - a special way, and raised outside, and further, that the synod ask Bishop Bidwell to issue a letter on the subject. After considerable discussion, this motion was put to the synod and was carried. ; On motion of Col. R, J. Gardiner, Rev. H. H. Bedford Jones, the Chan- cellor and lay secretary, were ap- pointed a committee to meet the finance committee of St George's Cathedral to discuss a re-adjustment of the arrangements for the rental of the the synod office, and to report | to the present session of Synod. In view of the fact that there will be no session of the provineial synod this year, Chancellor McDonald moved, seconded by Archdeacon Beamish that there be no election of delegates at this session. The mo- tion was carried. This means that the old panel of delegates will be called upon to serve, should there be an emergency meeting of the pro- or ly ro | i New York ear fs, A large variety of dainty frocks in voiles, muslins and novelty ginghams.

It was announced that the sum of $20.63 had been received at the synod service, to be devoted to mis- sions, The synod took up a report of the committee on a new basis of appor- tionment. Archdeacon DObbs pre- sented this report, which stated "that having carefully looked into the sys- tems adopted in the dioceses of Ot- tawa and Toronto, we are prepared to recommend adoption of a some- what modified form of these systems, having regard to our own special needs, and the canons of the diocese, We believe that the most satisfactory and equitable basis will be found to be that of the net assessable paro- chial income," Rev. A. L. McTear objected to the report. He did not regard it as prac- tical. and had objected to the sug- gestion at the meeting of the execu- tive, A fair way would be to take a basis in the last seven years. Archdeacon Dobbs, replying to the criticism that the scheme would not be practical, stated that the scheme was one used by Ottawa and To- ronto synods, and had given good satisfaction. ' It was the opinion that it was a very fair basis, Bishop Bidwell felt it would be wise to give the scheme a trial. It could at any time be revised or with= | drawn. On the vote being called, the re- port of the committee was adopted. | This means that the matter. will be, furher taken up at the next meeting of the executive, The question of the stipend of the secretary, Rey. J. W. Jones, was un- der discussion, and it was decided, on motion of Francis King, to fix the ! secretary's salary at $1,850, the se- cretary to pay for his office assistance out of this amount. There was much discussion on the assessment fund report, and it was finally adopted. "The vote for the election of dele- gates to general synod took place at 12.30 p.m., when synod adjourned.

Large audfbnces were again thril- led at the showing of "Over the Top" with Sergt. Arthur Guy Empey at the Grand Opera House on Tuesday evening, The dppearance of the doughty little American hero, who | was wounded three times at the] front, was the occasion for much en- thusiasm and as the views of the sol- diers' lives in the. trenches were thrown on the screen the patriotic fervor of Kingstonians was stirred. Under the supervision of Sergt. | Empey the picture was filmed and the scenes depicted are true to those that confront one in the 'battle area in France. "Over the Top" is a film that should be missed by no one whe wants to realize just what trench life is like. It will be shown for the last time on Wednesday night, i At the Grand. A romantic tale of love in Lon- don is told in "Stolen Hours," the unique new World picturs; Brady- made in which charming Ethel Clay- ton is the star and which will be shown at the Grand on Thursday and Friday only, Miss Clayton takes the role of Diana Lester, a beautiful girl, whose mother dled when she was a baby and who has been brought up by her father, a profes- sional gambler. But despite her father's occupation and his low as- foclates, Diana has grown up pure, sweet and unsullied. And then she met Hugh Carton, a member of Par- liament, and a rising 'young politi- cian who was slated for a cabinet po- sition. She came to love Hugh with all her heart and soul, and then she found out that he was married and that, although he did not live with his wife, she refused to give him a di- vorce. How Diana meets this situa- tion and what happens is unfolded during 'the showing of the picture which 1s one that none should miss. There will also be the Pathe News, a two reel Lonesome Luke comedy and other films along with a vaude- ville and that will prove a winner. "The Heart of Wetona," Coming, David Belasco's wonderful play, "Phe Heart of Wetona," comes to the Grand Opera House on Saturday, June 1st, matinee and night. "The Heart of Wetona" is regarded by many as the greatest play of North- western life ever produced on the English speaking stage. The play hds to do with the daughter of an Indian chief, who has had the edu- cational advantages of Eastern col- leges, and intimately deals with many phases of northwestern life. Into 1 is woven a romantic heart story of love and reality, and the play is one of deeply sustained in- terest throughout. "The Heari of W was first produced by David Belasco and Charles Frohman at the Lyceum Theatre," New York, and enjoyed a run of an entire sea- son. The New York critics were a unit in pronouncing it a smashing good play, a play of joyous exeite- ment for young folks or folks who still retain youthful hearts. There are fun, excitement, tears, smiles, until the audience literally howls with delight, At Griffin's, Another large audience assembled at Griffin's last evening, and highly enjoyed the excellent programme presented, which is headed by the eminent artist, Willlam Farnum in the triumph of his successful career, "When a Man Sees Red." Don't miss this photodramatic treat, which is a thrilling picturization depicting a strong man's triumph. Another feature which was enthuiastically re- ceived was the distinguished actor Sessue Hayakawa in "The Honor of His House," showing this popular fa- vorite in the best picture he has ever made. See these two pictures at Griffin's to-night, and also the ever interesting serial, "Vengeance and the Woman."

She has given her five sons to the fighting forces, and one has already laid down his life. Besides this her daughters are work- ing as V.A.D.'s, and she herself help- ed greatly with work for the troops when in England, as well as in her own town, and beyond this she and her husband have given up touch of their beautiful grounds at "Annan- dale" for war production.
