not likely that it will bo used for at least a year until now sod is formed tho work is something of an experiment but wo trust that the desired re sults will bo obtained in the effort made the old elm tree standing at tho south east side of tho groundsa land mark so to speak was cut down on monday which action has caused no end ot criticism for so many people hate to see them felled and there has been a rush to the office of this paper to voice protest but as tho poet truthfully and reverently says wo can seo no point in putting up a fight at this time when the treo is lying in limb wood the baseball club wanted it removed and tho parks commission we are inform ed took a vote on the question and decided its doom however tho fine old elm was hollow in the ccntro and norman m maclean tho tree- ologist for the commission declared it was so rotten that it could not survive and it was really taken town as a measure of safety tho treo can be soon with its hollow trunk by all who are skeptical the only condition annexed to the gift wore that he must not be sold and must be given a decent burial when he finally goes to the happy hunting grounds this latter stip ulation we presume was to avoid disappointment to the crows which might assail the meatless carcass beech told the judge he had some hope of feeding old bill so that he would make a third horse an the farm he is just a bone yard horse worth about 10 said beech which was damaging evidence to his own case the judge observed later badgero admitted the horse was given for his feed and keep but contended he was to bo returned on demand a year later or last spring an attempt was made to repossess the skate which had developed in to a respectable aged horse but without success and accordingly badgero through his lawyer harold sanders entered action for damages in summing up his honor said that much contradictory evidence was given as is usually the case on a horse deal it was not easy to come to the true facts but a statement made by the defendant beech help ed him to arrive at a decision he said beech says the animal was worth not more than 10 and might not survive the next winter if he doesnt take hold of dry feed better and that badgero loaned him the collar and halter with the animal to be returned when ho was through with the horse on this evidence by the defendant said his honor i find the plaintiff did not give the horse outright further the plaintiff said the horse was not worth 10 i cant understand why ho would cause all this trouble for 10 i give judgment for plaintiff for 30 with costs beecli however will keep tho horse witnesses called by plaintiff john and frank badgerp fred todd constable alf pugh and geo watson for defendant constable william beech john beech orval martin and the nineyearold son of tho defendant f l button defended beech the seventeenth annual session of the ontario mennonite s s con ference was held at the wideman church markham township sept 24 1933 there is no doubt in the minds of those who were privileged to attend that this conference was one of the best there were many visitors from different sections of the mennonite church in ontario as well as numbers from pennsylvania michigan and indiana one of the distinguishing and unique features of the conference was the presence ot many young people who were willing to spend a national holiday in this manner the saturday evening session was opened with a very touching mess age on a city mission school by mrs frank raber of detroit mich thi3 was followed by a stirring sermon by n j litwlller south america on davids question con cerning his son is the young man absalom safe his message was a real challenge to parents to be more concerned about the spiritual we tare of their children opened at 930 this was a dele gates meeting and it was during this timo that the progress of tho mennonite schools in ontario was reported there are now 30 schools in the conference with a total en rollment of 3829 and an average at tendance of 2665 or 70 per cent these schools are manned by 141 officers and 3 os teachers the challengo of the on coming genera tion is indicated by tho number 1404 uuder 14 years of age and 401 between the ages 141s the fact that the meunonite church is reaching more than her own child ren is shown by the enrolment of 520 nonmennonite in her schools the success of tho religious teach ing is proven by the receiving ot 90 pupils into church fellowship dur- rural school fairs to be held in york county 1933 tho sabbath meetings the sessions on sunday were very largely attended and the facilities provided by the local con gregation and the amplifier supplied by mr reuben clendenning for such attendance was very much appreci ated n j litwiller gave three more stirring messages one in each of the three sessions drawing from his rich and varied experiences in miss ion work in the argentine sa he effectively taught the great need of christian growth so that there might be a progressive evangelism pervading the efforts of the sunday school at two oclock two meetings were conducted at the same time the children were gathered to gether in a place by themselves where a number of object lessons were taught by different teachers these lessons were interspersed with childrens songs and by the way they helped to sing it was evident they thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the same time a number of timely topics directly relative to sunday school work were discussed knowing the community by nor man snider of elmira opportuni ties in the home department by mrs nelson beohtel of hespeler and the new born babe in christ by frank raber of detroit the last message of the day by n j litwiller was preceded by spirited and thoughtprovoking
