MARK'S IS RE-OPENED Dean: Starr Delivered a Fittin Sermon for the Occasion. | » | The re-opening services at St. | Mark's: Church, Barrjefield, took! yblace on Sunday, and. the Occasion was marked by very large congrega-| tions and a fitting serman by. Dean Starr. It will be recalled that this his- | toric edifice had a very close call from being destroyed by fire; on Ci-| vic holiday. However, the decorator | has been busily at work, the past | few weeks, with the result that the| church again presents a beautiful ap-,| pearance. Dean Starr congratulated | | the'congregation on its successtul re- opening, and in fitting terms, referr- | ed to the part the congregation Ras | taken in the work of the diocese, He made special reference to the good jp work carried on by the church, and the united spirit that prevails at St. Mark's. Dean Starr also made refer- ence to the faithful service of the| | rector, Rev, A. O. Cooke. d Speaking regarding the fire that | came 80 near destroying the church. | Dean Starr made the remark that it would have been a national calamity | had the edifice. been destroyed, and | | pointed out thatthe first impression | one secured on coming into the city, | was from 'the little church on the hill." | The speaker eaid that at these re- | opening services, everything breath- ed of the old traditions of this histo- | | ric church. - | The music for the service was well | rendered. Canon Austin Smith, Cat- | araquli, read the epistle. KINGSTON MILLS ROAD BAD | a | It Needs 'Repairing--No One Knows | " Who To Blame, Kingstonians, as well as tourists, | who for years have -been in the habit {of visiting Kingston Mills on picnic | excursions, are gradually discontinu- ing their trips in this direction due to the dreadful condition of the roads leading to and from the Mills. The Barriefield road, which for years has { been the most papular drive leading | towards Kingston Mills, is at the pre- | sent time almost impassable in pla- | ces. On dry days it is not nearly as | difficult to pick. out the "prairie trail," as after a rain, as the "shell | holes" can be discovered without the | use of glasses. + One old gentleman, who happened | ta be in the general store at King- | ston Mills on Saturday afternoon, re- marked that he did not think that the holes would bother him because he could nt see them on account of | bis failing sight, but he was remind- | over this "beautiful" road, that good vision was not necessary as the holes are so thick they could not be missed Ly any driver. The other. road which leads to the | Mills is in bad candition in some spots, but the authorities in charge have made some effort to improve conditions, Several have asked who is respon- sible for such conditions, This is a question which the Whig has been unable to have \answered. There are those who blame the provincial gov- ernment, which is taking over this road as the permanent highway be- tw Kingston and Ottawa. The Whig was informed some time ago it was now up to the Ontario govern- ment to act. If the road has been ta- ken over by the Ontario government, people think that temporary repairs be made at once if the government does nofintend to commence road builatagfnts next year. Others claim that the ;overnment has not taken over the road, and that the matter rests with the county council-road committees.

Makes This Decision. The advisability of again taking an active part in politics, either munici- pal, provincial or Dominion, came up for a lengthy discussion, at the G.W. V.A. meeting on Monday night; and from the various members who spoke on the subject, the opinion gained wag to the effect that, while every | member should individually take an active interest in the administration | of his city and country, it was felt that the association as such, would be far wiser to: leave politics alone, and devote the whole of its energy to the work it is pledged to do, that "of providing for and looking after the interests of the returned soldier and his dependants, a duty which still calls for a great amount of work on {ts part. : The monthly meeting was attend- ed by one of the largest and most enthusiastic body of members that has ever attended any meeting in the rooms. The president, Comrade J. W. Con- | nors occupied the chair, and opened | the meeting in the usual impressive manner, by all present standing to attention in silent prayer for their fallen comrades, for the space of one | minute. . | The secretary read a communica- | tion from the Board of Pension Com- | missioners "stating that in answer to a G.W.V.A. request, Cols.
