toronto spent the holidays with her parents mr and mrs george peck at the ringwood school meet ing last week motions to in stall electric lights in the build ing and to introduce music on the curriculum were both de feated the tribune sought to find out if the farmers in the section were really against elec tric lights and the teaching of music every person interview ed agreed they liked electric lights and they thought the children ought to try and sing but all were opposed to having the necessary cost tacked on to their tax bills we pay 1200 a year to maintain the ringwood school

havent we got our hands on the town ship strong box and the most able two councillors alive walking on fire actually occurs by harry worling before coming to india i found it hard to believe that annually in this land thousands of people actually walk on fire real redhot fire in order to pay vows made to their gods however after being an eye witness to several of these events i must confess that my scepticism has gone for the people do actually walk on fire real redhot fire one evening before a recent iirewalking festival i went down to the hindu temple in a nearby village and there i saw for myself the fire pit clearly marked out on which the people would walk on the morrow the pit would be about two and a half feet wide and about thirty feet long alongside the pit were a number of cart loads of good hardwood the fire would be lit about midnight and kept going all night until the actual fire walking next morning on the day of the festival i again wended my way to the temple and after considerable effort i succeeded in squeezing through the large crowd and arrived at an excellent vantage ground right at the head of the fire now as to the fire it was a real fire no question about that there was a bed of glowing red coals some six inches or more deep i had not long to wait to witness the real fire walking for shortly the priests began their incantations and the festival was on the band plays and in an atmosphere which is tense the priests encircle the fire several times sprinkling as they go some holy water on the fire then the men i have yet to see a woman take part in this ceremony who are specially prepared for the fire walking by fasting and meditation begin to walk on the fire one by one they come chessed only in a loin cloth and garlanded with flow ers some walk the whole length in a devotional attitude some walk halfway and get off to one side ethers run many carry children with them one man carrying two occasionally some are quite severely burned at such festivals but upon examination of the feet of a number after they had walked i could see no illeffects from the fire as one witnesses such an event he cannot help but be moved by it and wonders just how many christians would literally walk on fire for their lord the prophet micah speaks for our edification what doth the lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy god i covet your prayers as i seek to witness to the millions in this land who are treading the fiery path of a christless life pine orchard happy new year to one and all mr and
