He contended that the average per- son was not givin, as much as he should, and pointed out that 75 per cent of the contributions to this de- partment was from those who gave $6 and less. Rev. W. T. Wickett, of Tyrone, in his report of the contributions to missionary work in this district quoted figures showing the amount raised by each church during the last two years, and the objectives set for the year 1922-23. In con- clusion he moved a resolution that the proposed objectives be adopted, which carried unanimously. While the amount of money raised by the different churches was in some cases lower last year than the previous year, and in others larger than be- fore the increase asked for was based on the figures of two years years ago. The amount contributed two years ago, and the new object- ives are as follows: Bowmanville in 1921-22, $1,852, objective $2,315; Simcoe Street Church, $1,779, ob- jective $2,224; King Street Church, $1,277, objective $1,846; South Oshawa, $229, objective $286.; New castle, $586, objective $730; Orono, $835, objective $1,044; Courtice $931, objective, $1,163; Newtonville, $415, objective, $519; Tyrone, $876 objective $1,095; Hampton, $1,179, ob- jeetive $1,474; Enniskillen, $552, objective $690; Cartright $750, oh- jective $938. Rev. W. W, Jones in his report on Sunday Schools stated there were active in this district 22 senior leagues, 10 junior leagues, 6 mis< sion circles and 4 older boys and girls organizations. Contributions to the general Sunday School fund a- mounted to $456 which was an in- crease of $140; to missions $1822; and to all purposes $11,943, an in- crease of $612. There were 29 Sun- day Schools having a membership of 6,715, an increase of 55. In regard to the number of Sunday School scholars joining the church, he stat- ed that more than 79 per cent. .came in from 3 circuits. The afternoon session was devot- ed entirely to business and the at- tendance was unusallly large. Act- ive discussion on various questions assisted in making the Conference one of the best on record and it is with a good deal of enthusiasm that Methodists of this District are ent- ering upon the next year's program. Children between' Dealers Dole Out (Continued from page 1) of the winter arrives. This company does not think there will be any great quantity of coal in Oshawa be- fore Christmas. At the present time they are selling wood, coke and bri- quettes, but have no anthracite as yet. The briquettes are much the same as the product of the now de- funct Nukol Coal Company. The Lander Company has sold several carloads of domestic 'coke which some are buying to meet the fuel shortage. Asked if they would be doling out their coal this winter the Lander Company stated that they believed they would have to follow this line of action. 'As for supplying peo- ple with large orders it all depends upon whether or not we get large shipments ourselves. If we get large shipments of coal perhaps we will be uble to sell large orders--but we are not going to get large shipments," they continued. Only Small Lots The Fowlds Coal Company stated that it would not be fair to their customers to let one person have large orders such as five or six tons at once. "We have a book full of orders from old customers and we must try our hest to accommodate them. It will be necessary, most likely, to send out the coal in small lots." Councillor W. J. Trick, chairman of the Special Fuel Committee of the Town Council, states that there is nothing further to report regarding the shipment of the ten cars of Amer- fcan anthracite coal recently order- ed by the committee. They have, however, gone ahead and purchased a quantity of wood, and this will be in Oshawa some time next week. Check Presented (Continued from page 1) China. Visibly affected by the dem- onstration and expressions of good- will, both Mr. and Mrs. nevertheless, found words which ex- pressed their emotions. After the banquet the guests ad- journed to the church where a public farewell was to be given. In the absence of Rev. G. B. Clare, unavoid- ably absent, Rev. J. A. Coburn, of the department of Evangelism and Social Service, Toronto, gave a forceful and inspiring discourse on the impor- tance of evangelistic work in the for- eign fields . At the conclusion of Rev. Mr. Coburn's talk, Rev. Mr. Sparling arose to deliver his farewell address. In an interesting manner he told of the growth of the missionary move- ment in China as noted by him during his sojourn there. Missionary's Farewell In opening he told of his departure from here and his arrival at Shang- hai over 15 years ago. Confident that they were the chosen servants of Christ, Rev. Mr. Sparling and his wife had proceeded on their way bli- thly. Little had they realized the task which would confront them in the Orient. At that time racial hatred and prejudice against anything with Sparling, | an European or American flavor was rife in China. They had been follow- ed through the streets by mobs hurl- ing epithets. "If },--and I believe my wife is of the same opinion--could have for- seen the obstacles that had, at that time to be overcome," said the speak- er, "lI do not believe that we would have gone." Proof that Christianized Chi- nese were willing to help spread the Gospel to their heathen brethren was advanced by the missionary. He in- stanced the case of a former poor Chinese who had through the accept- ance of Christ and the resultant en- lightenment been transformed into a wealthy merchant. The rise to af- fluence had not spoiled the man and he had contributed many thousands of dollars in aid of missionary work. work. In conclusion Rev, Mr. Sparling thanked Rev. A, M. Irwin and his wife and all others who had com- bined to make his stay in Oshawa such an enjoyable and at the same time profitable one. War is Wrong Emphasizing the importance of re- ligion in regard to its possibilities in the settlement of industrial dis- putes between capital and labor and also in the solution of world prob- {lems, Rev. J. A. Coburn emphatically {denounced the use of force. "War 'is wrong," he said, "as is lockouts and strikes." | proves which of the combatants is {in the right. * It merely proves which |is the strongest. The world needs a religious revival.

"During the war," said the divine, "We said that Germany would pay." The fallacy of that assertion has since been proven, the speaker con- tended. Concluding he reviewed work in the Yoreign fields and also paid a tribute to Rev. Mr. and Mrs, | Sparling. A fight never ZION Visitors: --Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, and Mrs. M. Lymer, Bowmanville at G.
