Tue:day, 5.30 p.m.--Chicken Supper: Warm Welcome to Al lI'The Re.Vitalizing of The Coram Church That the country church needs re- vitalizing, all will agree and the first step must be to consolidate its forces if it is not to disappear from the face of the earth, Some good people will have to sacrifice their prejudices and set aside personal preferences in doctrinal statement and forms of worship and they may have to drive farther to church. But at any cost the pitiful little groups of neighbors who work together and play together must be brought to worship togeth- er. It is not too much to say that, if this is not done, it is doubtful if the institution can survive. A rearrangement of the congrega- tions in country parishes so that they will be grouped around natural com- | munity centres may be required. Be- cause the minister is less transient than the teacher and other leaders, the church is in a better position than other institutions to supply the farm- er and his family with an agreeable social life, and if it can meet this need it will deserve and secure his support. The church may have to provide a programme of picnics, con- certs, lectures, debates. and other forms of entertainment. The essen- tial thing is that "people with a com- mon interest should occasionally be brought together, that is, within speaking distance of one another. If that can be dene, social life can take care of itself." The church should be the leader in all efforts to beautify the coun- tryside, making roads, sc hool grounds church grounds and cemterics places of beauty. A minister with a flare for gardening who went to a small town at once began to make the manse grounds a beauty spot. Then he attacked a church yard grown up with "weeds and unmown grass and before long had horticultural so- ciety under way. It is literally true that his presence has transformed the appearance of the place. The church in the country has, too, the opportunity of ministering to the enlargement of the intellectual interest of the people. Many farm houses, even those provided with such expensive equipment as electric light and automobiles, are destitute of good books and literature. Sun- day School libraries are an attempt to meet this need, but they are often stocked with poor books. A church which could shelter beneath its roof a community library of worth-while books would do something for its district which would help to make up for failure in its social duty in al- most every other respect. Can the church play some part in the effort to revive the industry of agriculture? No one denies that this basic industry is economically disad- vantaged, and as a consequence a surprising number of farmers are liv- ing from hand to mouth. There is a great field awaiting the minister who is Lrave enough to attempt to make his church a factor in the tech- nical training of young agriculturists A vital church in the country is de- pendent on the prosperity and con- tentment due to better farming. The church if it have a specially trained ministry, is in an unique position tc help the farmers to find the way to better farming and better business If it is to live in any vital and active will have to do it, It will grow in strength and influence as the people. about it grow in prosperity Social Service Council of Canada. way it CENTRE ST.

A special ral- ly day program is being observed by the Sunday sshool which commences its session at 2.30 p.m. NEW HYMNARY HAS BEEN ADOPTED After many months of effort the work on the new hymn book of the United Church of Canada has been completed and the book as a whole finally approved by the sub-executive] of the general council. The work was entrusted to the committee on church worship and ritual, but the presby- teries were consulted with reference to the selections made. Commenting upon the new book, "The New Out- look" says: "As was to be expected, the whole detail of the report was given most careful scrutiny and consideration, As finally adopted it had the unanimous A Light In The Earth "Ye are the light of the world" (Matt. 5:14). Every child of God is a light, The church is the light of the world. God has chosen the world as a theatre for the manifestations of himself and in which to display all his glorious perfections. We have received the light of the knowledge of the glory of God. We have receiv- ed light of trgth, light of holiness, the light of life, We have received light for the good of others. As the moon received light from the surh to il- luminate our world so we receive light from Christ to enlighten those around us, As the lamp is trimmed and lighted for the benefit of those in the house so we are turned from darkness to light for the benefit of those by whom we are surrounded. What the sun is to the earth, what the candlestick was to the tabernacle, the church is to the world. If we lect our light shine it will reveal man's misery and God's mercy, man's wants and God's provision, man's woe and God's sympathy, man's lost state and God's glorious and free salvation. Like the candle we should exhaust ourselves for the benefit of all around us Does our light shine in the school? In the sick-room- In the garret where poverty is conceal- ed? Do we let our light shine by distributing Bibie and religious tracts? In making of food and | clothing and money? Has your light directed the wanderer's course? Has it led any to the house of God, | to the cross, to the throne of grace, | to heaven? . Let us remember the | foolish virgins and go oftea to the throne of and get plenty of oil for our lamps, grace and enthusiastic approval of every member of the executive. We un- derstand that when requests were. re- ceived from any considerable num- ber of the Presbyteries for any mod- ification of the draft book the re- quests were generally honored "The new book is to be called "The Hymnary, thos alone being on the cover while the title page will carry the fuller description, "The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada.'

Strangers Cordially Invited A Hearty Welcome Awaits You Here BISHOP IS EAGER T0 CONTINUE WORK Three Indian Tribes In The Yukon Territory Still To Be Reached Bishop L 0. Siriaaer. of the Yu- kon, has already spent 37 cventful years in the northern wilderness of Canada, but he regards his work as not ncarly completed. "My present problem," Bishop Stringer said recently, "is threefold. In the first place there are yet In- dian tribes to be evangelized--Sticks, Chilcots, and Thlinkets, Then the hali-breeds and the poor white and isolated miners need more ministra- tions. In Dawson I have a hostel whare the half-breed children can be housed under Christian care while at- tending the government school. have secured part of the old hospital, built in the days of Dawson's pros- perity and disused now that the gold rush population has shrunk. It necds extending for the work must go on. Missionaries are required in the Ross River and Mayo mining districts, too." It was in 1892 that Bishop String- er made his first journey down the Mackenzie river and began his labors first at Fort McPherson and then for six years at Herschel Island, per- haps the most northerly mission point of the British Empire, In those days the Eskimo had an evil reputation, but as a missionary Mr. Stringer went among them, liv- ing their life in their snow. huts and their evangelization has gone on with such blessing that along 500 miles of that Arctic coast every native is a convert of the Anglican missions. Then came a change. After two years of missionary work in White- horse, in the great Yukon valley, Mr. Stringer was appointed to succeed Bishop Bompas in the see then called Selkirk and now more intelligibly, Yukon, In 1905 the great Klondyke rush had spent its force, gold mining was passing from the scramble of the individuals into the hands of com- panies and the great white popula- tion had begun to shrink. With some flickering revivals it has gone on de- clining as mines were worked out and no new mining areas were dis- covered, until now there are only a few thousand white men left in he whole of the diocese, four times as large as England. There remain the half-breeds, the Indians, the poor white and in the northern part of the diocese the Eskimo. The journeys which 'the visitation of the Various stations involyes are 'enormous. '10 'the "southern most of them from Dawson the bis hop 'must travel 500 mites up the Yu- kon river. To get to Fort MacPher- son, the shortest way is to travel up the smaller streams, then through the defiles of the Rockies, where 'there is no rail for a hundred miles, but a string of bogs between hills, "I have walked it several times," First Baptist Church King St., East Sunday, October 6. 11 a.m.--Morning Wor- ship. 3 p.m.---Sunday School, 7 p.m. Evening Wor- ship Mon. 8 p.m. B.
