No matter what one s natural gifts or attainments may `be, what! Ll one does will either crown or spoil . them. If you choose things that ' are high and noble, he said,.they ` will develop all you have and are, but if on thejother hand you choose l the lower things of life they will degrade the finest personality and overthrow` the nest gifts of God. Mr. Doyle said that while it is im- portant for young people to choose I good companions, it is still more im- ` portant to be good companions. Mr. Doyle also told something of the work of the Sunday School deg ; partment, particularly with refer.-`s 1 ence` to supplying Sunday Schools on 3 the frontier. There are about 200 4 public school teachers in various out- Q G S lying parts of Canada who open up Sunday Schools and to whom sup- plies are sent from headquarters. This, he said, is the greatest mission- -ar_v thn ohm-ah Am... 4: ..... -- (Continued from page 1) The pioneers of the country lived to see a great deal of progress, but the best they saw `was the handing I down- of their spiritual inheritance in the form of churches and schools. What a pity, said Mr. Doyle, if we should fail to pass these on. if we , should let those great blessings of` I modern life, the good road and the motor car, hinder us in our duty to- ward ourchildren, if we should let our leisure time which should be given to the boys and girls be crowd- I ed out and our spiritual heritage be '. lost. Our parents and grandparentsi worked hard and were busy all the -' lptime, yet they found time to pass on I the things worth while to their child--cl ren. We who live in leisure and '- prosperity can hardly do less. . -.. o ...... -.--r- I-Ieuipful Adresses nenrmea A; - by Rev.
