The reports presented by the various departments were most en- couraging for it was found the Mis- progress in every respect during the past yéar. Rev. J. 8. McMullen in a brief address expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the congregation and for the unity which had characterized their work. He pointed out that where there is no guarter for mis- understanding, and there is united effort, there must be success. A year ago, he stated, the outlook for the Mission was not bright, but the success they had encountered placed them in a fairly good position to-day. Mrs. Cameron, president of the Ladies Aid presented her report. | From August 1921 to April 1922, the money raised by that society amounted to $476.69 which was de- rived largely from rummage sales. Money has also heen obtained in this manner for the church and these sales have afforded opportunities to many to buy warm clothing at reas- onable prices. The Missionary Department, the secretary of which is Miss C. Harvey read their report as follows: church envelopes $49.29; Cedar Dale Ep- worth League $47; Sunday School Missionary Fund $145. Other small amounts brings the total up to 350. The Epworth membership of the 50. money raised was $75.

OLD CHURCH AT League reported a The total St. Paul's (Anglican) Church, sit- nated about a mile west of Colum- bus, was completely destroyed by fire on Tuesday omrming last. Mr. G. Brown and Mr. U. Howden were engaged in cleaning up the grounds, burning grass and rubbish, when the flames caught the building and it was razed to the ground in a short time. Help was summoned imme- diately but all efforts to save the structure were fruitless. This church was one of the oldest in the county, having been built about eighty years ago and had been in use up till 2 short time ago. It was looked upon as one of the oldest (Continved § eight) landmarks in-that vicinity. The.

Planted Twelve Years Ago The party were first taken to the farm of Mr. T. B. Frankish, at Si- loam where they were shown the marvellous growth that Lad been at- tended by .the trees set out by Mr. Frankish some twelve years ago, when he first started in a small way to experiment. Here Mr. Frankish has a sight that is well worth going a long distance to sce. Upwards of 40,000 trees, mostly Scoteh pine and native Can. White Pine that have been planted by him during the past twelve years, and which are now strong, sturdy trees ranging in height from 1 to 12 and 14 feet high, with a girth of fpom 3 to 14 inches. He has about twenty-five to forty acres of land which he is giving over to reforestation and has planted Scotch Pine, White Pine, Soft Maple Red Oak, White Ash, and Butternut all of which receive his own person- al attention during the summer months when he time at the old home. Only a few acres have as vet been planted but he hopes in time to have the whole planted with the above varieties of trees.

The two outstanding addres- ses were to the men and women, on "Father's Relationship to His Son," and "A Mother's Relationship to her Daughter," both being given in Simcoe Street Church, and well attended. The address to women was heard by not only adults but by girls. The address to men was heard by men of all ages. Dr. Barker, on each occasion, was given a good hearing and it is the unanimous opinion of all who heard him that he stands in a class by himself in dealing with subjects so close to his heart. vi ov "A Father's Responsibility to His Son," was the subject of Dr. Bark or's address before a fine audience of men in all walks of life, in Simcoe Street church in the evening. The address was replete with some very vital truths dealt with so seldom to- day, and in a masterly way the speaker handled some very delicate subjects. It was easily the best ad- dress of its kind ever heard by a male audience in Oshawa. The pre- dominant keynote was that every man was his brother's keeper and tive keeper of his brother's son, and that the inculcation of high ideals, and the imparting of proper sex knowledge must be undertaken by fathers in the early years of their off spring. Opening his address by emphasiz- ing that the boys of today will be the men of tomorrow, Dr. Barker de- clared upon the way sides are fixed in the minds of the youth will de- pend the kind of city and govern- ment. which will prevail in Canada 25 or 30 years hence. Every move- ment like the Boy Scouts, the Y. M. C. A. and different church organiza- tions which had for their aim the improvement of the physical and moral calibre of the boy should have the backing of every man. Eulogizes Lloyd George "Don't think for a moment that you have no responsibility for the other man and his son," Dr. Barker said pointedly. "You are your broth- er's keeper and your brother's sons' keeper, and don't forget your re- sponsibility for the other fellow." Reverting to the subject of national responsibility Dr. Barker pointed out that even to Germany did Can- ada and other nations have a respon sibility, simply because they react on us. They need all the assistance. we can give them because that comes right back on us. The speaker compared David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, (Continued on page 8) WR TOAST TO - And drink to the strong and manly man.

SOLVE PROBLEM "Marry for Love" Points to Solu- tion of the Cedar Dale Editor Reformer: Dear Sir,--Ever and anon, for many years, we have been called upon to witness the blossoms on the old familiar perennial of the *"An- nexation of Cedar Dale." [Is it de- sireable from our point of view to annex Cedar Dale Unquestionabiy there will come in time decided cial and economic Would there be any advantages to Cedar Dale? This question can also be answered in the aflirmative. matter of union between these muni- cipalities should be regarded as sort of marriage. In the light of mouern methods of bringing about a union such as we have long contemplated, it is deplor- able that so much time and disagree- able haggling should take place over the "terms of union." A marriage consummated by long years of joc- keying for dowries and settlempents can only end in domestic squabbles and divorce. Both municipalities should be led to see that finally all such as the ad- and liabflities. a justment of assets taxation and assessment, improve- ments and municipal service, must be settled equitably and justly, and in order to bring this about some tribunal should act and ultimately settle these matters.

High tribute was paid by speakers on the toast list to the industrial enterprise, benevolent spirit and keen interest in every phase of community life in Osh- awa far many years manifested by the guests of the evening. eir worth not merely as heads of a great industry, but as citizens with high ideals, was the predominant note in the tributes paid by the toastmaster, Dr. D. S. Hoig, and other speakers. The banquet was attended by about 150, and there would have been many mofe had the space not been limited. The menu served up for the occasion by Mine Host Welsh was of the same high standard as has eharacterized many a similar gathering. Of special note was the decoration of the tables, and the ex- cellent manner in which every de- tail of the banquet was carried out by the committee of citizens, F. J. Bailes, Mayor Stacey, C. N.
