Wedn2sday we cowup.etel our | journey ovel the 'National Railway || and "had a quick run to Sydenham | making only a few stops en tf | ~oute. Sydenham is a village of about a thousand inhdbitants, situated .on | Syde m Lake where many people | hav pleasant summer cottages. The | village itself is very progressive, hav- Bing & splena:d high schoo. and public | sch8oi, fine 'churches, good streets shops and a new milk condenser. Vae village s ery modoara, having ll peve? stros's snd Ht oy elacivicity. i Trey pay thei f:achers high salari ies and always have good and efficient schogls' Oa the first evening of our arrival, we (my good man and I, who was born, bred and received his early edueation in this quaint little village, named in honordof a former govern- I of, Lord Sydenham) took a long-walk skirting the entire village. We first | went on a winding high banked and fl shaded road that reminded me of some of the quaint and delightfully picturesque old villages in old Eng* if land; then we reached the hill where | stood ten years ago t little Angli- | can church of St. Paul's. Keen was "my disappointment to find the old church gone, pulled down I know not | why. The Canadian Nortiérn railroad built just below may have been the reason, but what a shame! All that was left was the pavement stones {that formed the entrance to this sa- ered edifice, the graveyard around where, ten years ago, on the occasion of my last visit. {and read 'inscriptions of the dead whose names lurked somewhere back {in my mind from hearing my father, | who also was born and lived his | early years in this little village, speak jot thiém. Gone were these tombstones i | {and evidently the dead that had lain iat rest in this God's acre for many 'years, had been removed to a newer God's acre, but to me a less hallow- ed spot. I recalled an early Sunday morning service in this church ten years ago, almost to the very day, when the service so sweet and holy made such an impression. This is, in part, what I wrote at that time which I find in an old copy of Je Kingston Whig, of July 12th, 1910 Presently the church bell tolled the hour of morning prayer and the people gathered to worship in God's house. There is something divinely suggestive in a church built on a hill. One recalled Goldsmith's description of the Deserted Village where one of the attractions was "the decent chureh that topped the neighboring hill." The people go up to pray just as Christ went up to the mountain "o pray. Below nestled the village and like a ghining beacon the little Angli- can church, St. Paul's, has stood for years pointing the way to brighter worlds "afar. Stone steps made a gradual ascent through the church. yard to the doop/ol the.sacred edifice. I was early, the first to enter, and took a seat near an open window and waited. Presently the sexton, old and gray in the service, entered and | rang the bell, and the people came. | 1 do not think, it was merely fancy, but there really seemed a reverence that appears lacking in larger city churghes. The . organist, who, I think, was the clergyman's wife, came with her youngest and took her seat in the choir loft. It was Com- muion Sunday and for many it was the first communin and the sermon was specially for those who were to partake. of their first communion since confirmation. The tifing one noted was the earnestness of those taking part. Everybody responded in the prayers; everybody "sang the hymns and everybody "drew near with reverence, making their Yumpile confession, meekly kneeling on their Knees.' - "There 'was no large pipe organ, no vested choir, the hymns were selected so that everyone could' follow and join in singing and everyone sang. As one sat and listened to the ser- mon, the text of which was, '"'Be ye steadfast," one could not help think- ing how much more real and how much more one gets from a service simple encugh for all the members than in the larger city churches where nobody sings but the choir and Pthe people not being able to join in the service, idly look about at the millinery and let their thoughts stray on forbidden paths.

Bain 0; Ud larger places must necessarily b2 larger, but perhaps it might be more conducive to spiritual growth and Je- velopment if our churches made their services - simpler, if they lected tunes for hymns that the majority of oe congregation could follow instead tunes that choirs of selected sing- ers after weeks of practice, can do but faint justice. Some of the airs as the poet Burns said in the "Cotter's Saturday Night," "hae nae unison with their Creator's praise." Perhaps I may bé_grong, but I shall long remember that sweet Salbath morning in the little Anglican churca on the hill at Sydenham. And here I am ten years later, and po more stahds that churcn on the hill. A newer church is built in the village, which the people tell me is much more convenient for 'he wor- shippers especially in wemter when the road was drifted full of snow and people made their own paths tj the church. | But I wonder do the wor- shippers get as much out of the ser- | vice that means so little effort. I, for one will always regret the passing of the quaint little church on the hill 1 shall go to the mewer cnurch to- morrow, but my heart and my thoughts will go back ten years t> the old church surrounded bg the church yard where "'each in his nar- row cell forever laid, tne rude fore- fathers of the hamlet sleep.

The camp was in charge of S. T. Lilley, boys' work secretary of the local association. A. W. Dean, phy- sical director, Lachlin MacKinnon sistants, who acted'jn the capacity of tent leaders, in charge of group boys, and acted on the camp council during the two 5: The camp was®honored by many visitors, some interested as parents and others as friends. The field sports were in charge of Physical Director Dean, and a fine line of sports were run off. Three boys taking «first places were kn: Batten, Norntan Smith and Metberty Skelton. These boys each received as a reward the Y.M.C.A. emblem. The water sports were again in the hands of Lachlin MacKinnon. . The camp committee appreciate 'very much the assistance Mr. MacKinfion rendered in the water sports. Those hoys taking first places in water spfrts were : 1st, Morris Speiz- man, 2nd, Douglas Skelton, 3rd, Bert Vince. These boys also received the Y.M.C.A. emblem as a reward for thelr efforts. A number of boys tried | their tests in swimming and they re- ceived their first and second test buttons. races, the competitors being Howarq | Rider, Bert Vince, Morrie Speizman, Alexander Kirkpatrick and Jerbert | Skelton, These boys received ribbons according to their standing. There | was a prize offered for the largest fish caught. George Mooers was the lucky boy. He captured a pike, twenty-seven inches long. An inter- esting treasure hunt 'was one after- noon's programme and a goad deal of interest was shown. Geor Baxter | was the boy to find the treasure. On Friday evening, on the eve of | the departure for home, the boys gathered around to hear Mr Lilley n e thank them for the*r co-operatio and splendid spirit in making th 1920 camp the greatest in the his- tory of Grenadier Island, and in the fine way they lived up to their motto of "Help, the other fellow" Short addresses were given by Mr. Dean, Lachlin MacKinnon and by Mr. Robinson, all speaking the brightest | things of the camp.
