A large congregation was present for the occasion and there were also many clergymen and others from outside points in the presbytery. Rev. Mr. Fee, of New Liskeard, preâ€" sided, and Rev. Mr. Donnell, of Hailâ€" elbury, preached the ordination serâ€" mon. Rev. Mr. Gordon, of Cobalt, officiated at the ordination of Mr. Scott as an elder. Mr. J. Patterson, of Toronto, a noted Presbyterian layâ€" man, gave a delightful address touchâ€" In these columns relative to ten years ago many references have been made to the D.Y.B. Club. This orâ€" ganization, of which Mrs. M. A. Ellis was the inspiring force, did a wonderâ€" ful patriotie work here for various eauses, It was an organization of young ladies of the town, banded toâ€" gether to assist in the various patrioâ€" tic activities of the day. The name D.Y.B. stood for the words *‘*‘Do your Bit,"‘ and the young ladies here cerâ€" tainly did their part. So useful and popular was this club that organizaâ€" tions of girls in other towns adopted the same name and plans. One such other D.Y.B. Club was established at South Poreupine a little over ten years ago. In the Advance of July 10th, 1918, there is a list of the work turned in for the month of June ‘by the South End D.Y.B. Club. Among those listed as turning in work were: Miss D. Bartlett, Miss H. Starr, Miss M. Adams, Miss P. Kennedy, Miss M. Bartlett, Mrs. J. T. Easton, Miss Ivyv Starling, Miss H. Orr, Mrs. J.â€"‘. Easton was the supply secretary. Friends of Mr. Chas. Hall, now manager of the Homer L. Gibson office here will be interested in the followâ€" ing paragraph from The Advance of July 10th, 1918:â€"‘‘About thirty of the innumerable friends of Mr. Chas. Hall gathered at the Poreupine Crown on Thursda evening last to give him a little farewell party previous to his leaving for Thetford Mines, Que., where he has taken a position. Mr. Hall is one of the oldâ€"timers of the camp and popular with all. The exâ€" pressions of regret at his departure and the good wishes extended to him for his future, at the party on Thursâ€" day evening, were many and sincere. He was also presented with a beautiâ€" ful gold watch and chain as a work of ful gold watch and chain as a mark of the esteem in which his Timmins friends hold him.‘‘ There was an interesting and imâ€" pressive service at the Byrnes Presâ€" byterian churech, Timmins, on Wedâ€" nesday afternoon, July 3rd, 1918, when the pastor, Mr. Irwin, was orâ€" dained as a clergyman of the church, and Mr. M.

He summed up his advice as to the people‘s attitude to the pastor in the words, ‘‘pay, pray and boost all the time.‘‘ After the services, the ladies served refreshments in the basement, and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all in social way. The Advance of July 10th, 1918, said:â€"‘‘Prof. Ledouin, now of the Ontario Bureau of Mines staff, Toâ€" rorto, but formerly one of the instrucâ€" tors in geology and mineralogy in a Belgian university, was a visitor to the cawip last week. He made an inâ€" spection of the formation of the disâ€" trict and carried away with him samâ€" ples of the rock, sand and soil for future study. . He would have been welcome to quite a bit more of the sand.‘‘ nell, chaplain; H. MeQuarrie, inside guardian; R. Eddy, outside guardian. Writing from France ten years ago, Sergt. ‘W. M. Widdifield expressed the appreciation of the boys overseas for two things in particular sent from Timminsâ€"the candy, and the copies of The Advance,â€"both considered as the real ‘‘candy goods.‘‘ He also told of the baseball league in that part of France. â€" There were four teams, 71 Co., having the best team, winning all the four games up to the time of writing. Among the players were:â€" John Bunn (Neil), Frank Smith, (Gordon Irving and othes inâ€" cluding ‘‘Widdy‘‘ himself. _ All the games were played on Sundays. That The Advance has always kept well abreast of the times is indicated by the old fyles of the paper. In the issue of July 10th 1918, for instance, one of the editorials deals with the matter of a license for a liquor venâ€" dor in the North Land. In concluding its article, The Advance said::â€"‘*The liquor question undoubtedly presents many difficultied, but if the facts were honestly faced and courageously dealt with, the way would be easier. At the present time the Governments cannot escape the responsibility for the liquor traffic under the Acts they themselves have passed. Why not, then, have the Governments boldly take over the whole manufacture, sale arnd distribution of liquor.. Absolute Government control and responsibbity would do away with most of the evils of the traffic, if the Governments were honest, decent and sincere. Priâ€" vate profit has always been the chief sourt of evil in the liquor trade."‘ Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘‘Mrs. C. M. Auer left this week for a visit to the U. 8. A.""‘ ‘«Mr. Chas. Pierce‘s sawmill at the river is now running smoothly and merrily.‘"‘ ‘"Rev. 8. Boal deâ€" livered addresses at South Poreupine on behalf of the Navy League and its noble patriotic work for the sailors of the Empire.‘‘ ‘"*At the United Church, Cochrane, Melvin Hobson and Mrs. E. A. Hughes, both of Timmins, were united in marriage, on Wednesâ€" day June 26th, by Rev. Geo, A. Steel" ‘*Before leaving South Poreupine for his new duties as chaplain with the overseas forces, Rev. T. Andrews was presented with an address and a purse of gold as an expression of the esteem in which he is held in South Poreupine.‘‘ ‘*‘The new road through Mountjoy is heing constructed rapidly and well. This Government road starts from the River road and goes out about four miles up the river.‘"‘ ‘‘Improvements and alterations are being made in the Byrnes Presbyâ€" terian church this week, A door is being cut through the cement at the Ten year ago Mr. Chas. Ramsay, while at work on the Hillâ€"Clarke and Francis contract on the No. 5 shaft of the Mcelntyre, fell over twenty feet from a scaffold, but eseaped any serâ€" ious inury. The accident occurred through the breaking of one of the ropes holding the sceaffolding. _ Mr. Ramsay this year is one of the town councillors of Timmins. Ten years ago outside agents emâ€" ployed by the government to see that those not observing the law in regard to putting war stamps on certain arâ€" ticles sold should be punished visited Timmins and as a result fourteen merchants in this town and seven in Schumacher were summoned to court In most cases z, plea of guilty was enâ€" entered and a fine of $50.00 each was registered. _ Mr. W. A. Gordon, of Haileybury, conducted the prosecuâ€" tion on behalf of the Department. The Advance ten years ago referred to the objectionable activity of Rusâ€" sian anarchists who were flooding the camp with seditious literaature. Chief Wilson and Officers Salley and Allen made a number of arrests and a large quantity of disloyal literature was seized. Report was made to Ottawa, and from addresses found here, raids were made at Windsor and other places in Ontario and many arrests made as a consequence. back of the church, and the lot is to be excavated to a level to conform to the streets that bhave recentiy been reduced to their proper grade." ‘‘Revy.

Noble and children are visiting in Toronto."‘ *‘Mr. Jack White, of the Imperial Bank Staff, left on Sunday for a vacation at North Bay and Toronto.‘‘ *‘‘Mrs, L. Halperin is spending a few weeks‘ holiday in Toronto and other points south.‘"‘ ‘*Mr. Geo, 8. Lowe returned on Sunâ€" day from a vacation spent in Toronto and other southern towns and cities.‘‘ ‘*Chief Wilson and his assistants are deserving of credit for clearing out of town last week a couple of gangs of women whose activities are of general moral and financial injury to all in town but the doctors and the devil.‘‘ * Miss Ethel Lafferty, for a time stenâ€" ographer in J. W. Mahon‘s office here, has taken a position in the townsite office of the Abitibi Power Paper Co. at Iroquois Falls. _ Miss Lafferty was very popular here in many circles and will be much missed, especially in the D.Y.B.
