Empty Handed be?” Miss E. McEachern, the guest speaker of the afternoon, who is home on furlough from Korea, gave an interesting address on Christian progress in that country. In spite of much opposition Korea has made greater strides in accepting Chris- tianity than any other country. They now send missionaries to China and Mrs. R. L. Stiver followed with effective prayer and two well rend!- ered solos were presented by the Stouffville ladies, Mus. Kelling‘ton singing “Open the Gates of the Temple” and Miss Scott “Shall I Empty Handed be?” 0h! ’Cause it’s gettin’ Spring. â€"Ben King’s Verse. April 8th was. a special day for missionary inspiration to the W.M.S. auxiliaries of Stouffville, Brown’s Corners and Unionville United Chur- ches when they assembled in Central United Church for the annual Easter Thankoffering' meeting. Mrs. W. Young presided over the opening de- votional services, with Mrs. Thomas of Stouffville in charge of the pro- gram proper. An impressive part of the opening service was the sing- ing of that favorite old time hymn “Take time to be Holy” in memory of the late Miss: Arabella Heming- way, who was a member of Central United W.M.S. for many years. The Bible message was feelingly given by Mrs. Blake Saunders, in which she stressed Christ’s parting- mess- age to His disciples, “Go ye into all the World,” and left the thought. that as Christians we should have the spirit of love and self-sacrifice, and one and all carry on His work. think it’s goin’ to storm; Sometimes it’s ki..d o’ chilly, then again it comes off warm; An’ jest when it’s the stillest you can hear the bull-frog’s note, An’ it ’pears as if he wondered how the frost got in his throat, The ducks and geese are riotous, an’ straining hard to sing. What’s the reason? Oh! ’Cause it’s gettin’ Spring. stiff as he can be; Why it don’t get settled weather’s Noah’n he can see? But when it clears off splendid, then he fears the crops is‘ lost, And he reckons jest a little wind ’ud keep away the frost. The kitchen door is open; I can hear Elmiry sing, What’s the reason? Oh! ’Cause it’s gettin’ Spring. The air is kind' of soft’nin’ and you “Cause It’s Gettin’ Spring” The medder lark is pipin’ forth a sweeter note to me, And I hear the peewees over yonder in the cedar tree; The popple leaves is quiverin’ ’cause the Wind is in the west, And the robin’s ’round a hookin’ straws to build hisself a nes’; The blackbird he’s a flashin’ up the crimson on his wing, What’s the reason? 0h! ’Cause it’s gettin’ Spring.

We could go on at length. It might interest readers to know, for ex- ample. thatL last year Canadian bak- ers paid $10,052 for sodium bicarb- onate, $1,678,603 for shortening and $15,644,023 for flour. used' 846.208 gai- Ions of milk. But there is not space for detail. and here is enough to tell most people more, we susibect, than they knew before about the fljaking industry. It is much more than we knew We note, too, that the factories turned out last year 899,366,382 pounds of bread, and- this prodigious total does not include bread made by hotels, restaurants, pwblic insti- tutions and in the homes. But even Without those incalculable factors ev- ery Canadian, if he accounted for his average, consumed last .year 82.6 pounds of bread, and since a good many very young Canadians have not attained to the dignity of bread-eatâ€" ‘rs the average for the others is considerably higher than the figures given. $59,400,668. And these small sums added‘ to gether make the baking business 1:" eleventh industry in Canada in valu‘ of production, eighth in wagcs an" salaries paid. Thus last year Can- ada’s 3,045 baking establishments had a capital investment of $43,788,â€" 924, gave employment to 19,167 per- sons Who were paid: $16,369,912, pro- duced bread with a selling- value of $44,302,522. In addition the output in these plants of pies, cakes and cookies had a value of $11,627,545, and buns worth $2,940,038 were made. Other products brought the total business of the baking- industry to Editorial in The Ottawa Journal As We may have intimated before on this page we find much interest- ing and infinitely diversified inform- ation in the reports of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Take, for ex- ample, the subject of bread. Bread is another of the things we take for granted in this world. No matter what our wealth, or how poor we are, there is always bread on the table. Some like it stale, some want it fresh from the oven; some 821‘ nothing but brown and others stick faithfully to the white loaf. But evâ€" erybody spends a few cents a day for bread. Praise for the work of the volun- teer fire brigades was expressed by Mr. Eaton, who credited them with preventing- the spread of the flames to the other buildings. a series of minor explosions went off like cannons. Narrowly escaping death, half a dozen firemen leaped for safety less than a minute before an explosion covered the spot where they had been standing with flaming debris as the large crowd‘ gasped. Chopping holes through the roof to try and check spread of the fire to the wing-s, fire- men had to jump several times as The hunters of Mr. and Mrs. Tim- othy Eaton were frantic with fear. Ballyoran, Mr. Eaton’s new Irish chestnut, gave his rescuer, Bob Mc- Dowell, a hard fight. Meanwhile neighbors gathered and carried perâ€" sonal effects and farm records from the single men’s quarters and off- ices, which occupied one end of the barn. Fire brigades were summoned from Maple, Aurora and Richmond Hill, and managed to save the gar- age and the forge building adjoin- ing. The wind was directly west, blowing the sparks away from both the chicken houses to the north and the staff residences to the south. The fine main barn on the Eaton Hall Farm, King Township, was comâ€" pletely destroyed by fire Monday night and/the efforts of fire bri- gades from Richmond Hill, Aurora and Maple were necessary to keep the flames from spreading to other buildings on the farm which belongs to Lady Eaton. The fire was first sighted about 10 pm. by Peter Back, carpenter of the farm, as it broke through the roof around the clock tower in the centre of the barn. Spontaneous combustion or a short circuit, sett- ing fire to the hay, is believed to have been the cause. The farm staff was mustered and the prize Holstein cattle, familiar to C.N.E. and winâ€" ter fair visitors, and the horses were led out. ' BUTTONVILLE INSTITUTE The April meeting of the Button- ville Institute will be held at the ihome of Miss Drew Kelly on Wed- lnesday, April let, at 2.30 p.m. An address Will be given by Mrs. Graves, lformer district president.

The roll call will be answered by the paying of fees. Our Daily Bread Fire Destrcys Eaton the baking- industry to Eéall Barn Nor was this all that ran through my mind. I believe without making any rash statements I could make this rough estimate of the attend)- ance. Over seventy per cent of the enthusiasts were over fifty years of age, over sixty per cent of the at- But there was something strange ly odd about this meeting. In spite of the fact that it had been an- nounced in the local paper three weeks ahead of time, with a front page notice in the issue that came out the preceding day, there was only about forty attended; and this drawn from the whole village and surrounding district. Was it because there were other meetings of more importance (I doubt it) that demand- ed their attendance?’ Is it possible that people have become such gloomy pessimists that even the talk of a wayI to peace seems useleSS? Or do we hear people ,say “Oh well we’ll be in the next war anyway, so what’s the “use?” Can we conclude that there are all these people that just can’t be bothered? [Editor of The Liberal Dear Sir:â€" I would like, through your paper to commend the “Interested citizens” who were responsible for the peace meeting that was held in the High School last Friday evening. This I believe is something new for the vi]- lage and is certainly a. beginning in the right direction. I sincerely hope that any plans for further work a- long such lines Will receive all kinds of encouragement. We were indeed fortunate to have the opportunity of hearing such a wonderful speaker as Dr. F. J. Day. I believe I have never heard One speaking for the League of Nations (1 still have others to hear) who presented a case in favour of the League, so attractively. Nor one who outlines a more reasonable and com- mon-sense “Pathway to Peace". It was indeed encouraging- to hear such an outstanding speaker as Dr. Day putting his faith in something more Christian and more human than bill- ion dollar armament expenditures, to bring peace on earth, While he stressed International trade as the most valuable contribution. to peace (reciprocal trade agreements and stabilization of currency must of course accompany international trade) there were three other impor- tant points mentioned we ought all to bear in mind. Firstr world friend- ship, aocomplished by Christian mis- sions and travel. Secondly interna- tionalization of colonial possessions, which would mean drastic sacrifices for some of the greater powers. Thirdly, justice to all humanity. gRoyalTheatreAURORA A swell farce, bubbling over with clever dialogue and amusing situations. Here is by far the comedy yet devised audienceg.
