DAILY BIBLE SCHOOL IN VACATION PERIOD Advocated Before Rotary Club by 'Rev. C. 8. Bucking- ham of 'Ottawa. Addressing the Kingston Rotary Friday, British-American hotel on 'Ottawa, Rev. C.'S. Buckingham, made a strong appeal for tablishment in Kingston of a Dally Vacation Bible School. The Ottawa Rotary Club is supporting that the Kingston ¢!ub take the mat- ter up. A committee was appointed to give the proposition consideration. The president, Leman A. Guild, pre- sided, and there was a good attend- ance of members. Rev. Mr. Buckingham pointed qut the aim of the bible school which is | to promote the welfare of children of all ages, irrespective of race or creed or sex, for a period of Bix weeks during the summer holidays, by giving them competent leaders and teachers in practical 'Bible stories, good music, industrial art and in organized play. And with the results set out-as follows: Takes the children off the streets; keeps them out of mischief; improves their morals; makes them happy; relieves the mothers of anxiety, and above alg makes them hetter citizens. The speaker declared that the 1 chitdren were the world's greates. asset, Dr. Wilfrid Grenfell, in carry- ing out his work in Labrador, had found that in order to save the peo- ple he must first save the babies. And here in Ontario we have found that in order to save humanity we must save the children. The vaca- tion bible schools were held during the vacation period of the other schools, > Rev. Mr. Buckingham related many interesting stories of the good results accomplished through the bible schools and after telling his stories asked the question: "Is not this worth While'"? Do you know of anything better that will help make Canada a righteous and peace-lov- ing country?" The schools had a great influence upon 'the childrerd and tended to- wards righteousness and peace in the hearts of the children. ""The Rotary Club has a wonderful| motto--'Service Above Self--He pro fits most who serves best.' And 1 know of no better investment for the club than.To establish one of these bible schools." The children attending the bible schools salute the flag dally aad in saluting the flag say, "I pledge al- legiate to the flag and to the em- pire for which it stands; one na- tion, indivisible with peace, welfare and good government for all." Rotarian Rev. J. S. LaFfair moved the vote of thanks to the speaker and In doing so stated that the address of the speaker would bring to .the members memories of the boyhooa days and how their vacatign was spent. It was important during the vacation period to keep the boys from. evil companionship and bad habits. During" vacation time it was a good thing to, have the boys acquiring or doing and engaged in something worth while. Rotarion LaFlair stated that the speaker had put. forth his subject in a lucid and enlightening manner. The president stated that he re- garded the matter as 'a most import- ant one and for ¥his reason felt thar tt should go to a committee for a report. He appointed a special com- mittee, consisting of Rotarian La Flair as chairman, Harry Breath- waite and C. 8, Anglin, to consider the question of establishing a school in Kingston and report back at the next meeting. The club received a letter from Miss Lovick, school nurse, in which she told of the good work accom- plished by children who had been fitted. out with glasses at the ex- pense of the club, ' The president also had another very pleas embers, to the effect that out of] thirty-five clubs, the local Kingston club stands second as regards at tendance. The members are now out to take the top. rung of the ladder. Guests introduced . at Friday's luncheon included G. E. Wightman, "Syl" Grace, Ottawa, a former mem- ber of the club; Dr. J. T. Davis, H Edgar and ~JRaymond, Montreal.

Rotarian "Al" Davis is in New York having "the time of his life." Last week he attended the lunch- eon of the Rotary clubs in New York and was also present at the luncheon on Thursday of this week, when he was. presenteq with a flag for the Kingston Club. Rotarian Rex Snelgrove is keep- ing up his attendance. He is still at St. Catharines attends th. luncheons of the el there every week. He was tie &peaker at the clubs luncheon this week and as per usual gave the members one of his breezy orations. Rex and his stock company are doing well in St. Cath- arines. The company has playing to capacity every night since they opened on Jan. 31st. The company intends staying in St. Catharines until the end of the theatrical season, May 3rd. reesei. Che Maxson 02.

"Teacher promised you a 'pre- sent!" said mother. "That's funny. First time I ever heard of such a thing. How did she happen to pro- mise you a present?"

Royal Canadian Regiment Has Intér- esting Magazine, In order to keep alive something of 'that splendid comradeship which distinguished the Cgnadian Expedi- tionary Force in the late war, and which tended to relieve some of its more horrible features, thé Royal Canadian Regiment is publishing a monthly magazine which has been named "The Connecting File." Throughout the length and breadth of the dominion there are some 20,000 living former members of this é¢orps with whom it is hoped to establish a definite connection by means of this magazine, But The Royal Canadian Regi- ment, the peace time skeleton of the mighty force that did its "bit" to- wards making the world safe for de- mocracy, is laying plans to keep the old brigade--division numerically-- together. And the means adopted by Lieut.-Col. C. H. Hill, D.8.0., com- mander of the regiment since 1916, and his officers and men, is by means of a regimental publication which they began on an office typewriter three yeafs ago and called it "The Connecting File." Twenty thousand living citizens of Canada have served in the commis- sioned or enlisted ranks of The Royal Canadian 'Regiment, whose head- quarters, in peace, are at Wolseley Barracks, London, Ont., with Com- panies at Halifax, Montreal and To- routs, Instantly Killed.

There passed away, on March 27th, at the general hospital, Brock- ville, Mrs." Martha' Hutchinson, Es- cott, one of the most highly respeect- ed and best beloved residents of that community. She was born at Escott, on March 9th, 1841, her maiden name being Martha Moxley. On Feb. 27th, 1868, she married David Hut- chinson who predeceased her thir- teen years ago. Five years ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis which left her almost completely helpless, having only the use of her right hand, but her mind was always bright and clear to the veryllast and she was possessed of a wonderful memory. - She bore her illness with christian fortitude and with wonder- ful cheerfulness and courage. She was cared for, alternately, in the home of her eldest son, Norman, and when extra care was required in the Brockville @eneral 'Hospital where she endeared herself to nurses and patients alike, and where the ut- most skill and kindness was display- ed. Here she was ever cheered by frequent visits of her children and many friends. In December last she took a turn for the worse when her daughter, Mrs. Kendrich, Toronto, spent some weeks with her. From this attack she recovered and at the last death came suddenly when her grand- *| daughter and her sons were with her. Bhe passed peacefully away. On March 9th she celebrated what proved to be her last birthday; her granddaughter, whose birthday came on the same day, and her daughter- in-law, Mrs. Norman Hutchinson, were 'with her. On this occasion she received a shower of post cards from W.M.S. ladies of Athens, of which society she was a life member, and from those of her children who could «not be with her, flowers and mes- sages. Her children mourn a loving mother and the community a kind neighbor and friend. ; Surviving i§ ome brother, John "Moxley, Escott; five sons, 'Norman, agriculturist; Joseph In mercantile business in Spalding, Sask.; James, B.S.A., Ft.
