The Scottish preacher. Dr. Alexander Whyte tells of a young man in Edinburgh. who presented himself for com- munion. Dr. Whyte asked him how he had found God. The man replied: “I was engaged to be mar- ried and she died.” By means of a great personal grief, which had caused him bitter anguish, he found a way to God. In Bess Streeter Aldridge's nov- el, “A Lantern in Her Hand," she tells of an old lady who had been a pioneer in the early days of the middle west. She had weathered the storms of a hard life and al- ways with a brave spirit and a loving heart. Her eighteen-year- old granddaughter. said t9 her: “Grandma, tell me what love 13." The old lady thought of the ro- mance and wonder of her life. when with her young husband she had gone to the far West in a cov- ered wagon, established a home on the prairies and faced its rigors, hardships and thrilling pleasures. To the girl she said: “Love is something you can‘t define and you can’t1 describe, but it is some- thing which goes with you all your life. It [Is like a lamp that a wo- man marries. First, childish hap- piness lights it; romance and after that motherhood, followed by duty and sorrow. Even sorrow can be a light. After that. service lights it. It is a lantern in her hand." For a vast number of people the path to God is by loving service. I think of this whenever I go to a service club where there is an at- mosphere of goodwill and projects are undertaken with the definite purpose of making life better for others. Often these men are not committed to any church â€" which is unfortunate. both for them and the church â€" but their sympathies are wide and generous. I feel pos- itive that the service they render will not only make others happier, If it’s hardware - shop It The Richmond Hill Hardware Compare our prices. Quality merchandise at lowest cost.

From that moment life be- gan to be different for him who had lost all sense of God. The story of his devotion to the child is one of the loveliest stories in all literature. His great love for the little one led him slowly back to God. “In the old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction; a hand is put into theirs, which leads them gently toward a calm and bright land, so that “they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child's." George Eliot’s great novel “Silas Marner” is interesting partly be- cause it recorded the author's own spiritual pilgrimage. It tells of a weaver in the rural England of a century ago who early in life was deeply religious. A very unfortun- ate circumstance caused him to lose his faith in God and to become cynical and bitter. There was blank despair in his soul. he lost faith both in good and man. He sought refuge from benumbing unbelief by accumulating all the money he could. He hoarded coins and con- cealed them in the cabin where he lived alone. It became the pas- sion of his life, and for years he lived for that and nothing more. He worked sixteen hours a day and spent as little as ever possible. His was a mere insect existence.

As the Richmond Hill High School area grew into a District High School. it was deemed ad- visable to create a student coun- cil which would develop in pro- portion to the school attendance and student activities. The exec- utive and grade representatives are elected to office during the second school week of September. The students have been fortunate in their choice of presidents. Ethel Layzell, Bill Dodds and Dave Boynton. All have given able leadership in school activities. OUR, HOTELS (continued) Perhaps one of the best-known hotels of by-gone days was Dolby's which stood where the Dominion HouSe now stands. It was a long. low, one storey frame building reaching almost across the whole front, with a stable at the north end. Here the aristocracy of Tor- onto in its trips to and from the upper lakes would call for refresh- ments, so that for many years, Dol- by’s and Steele‘s at Bond Lake were the most popular on Yonge St. Captain ‘Bonnycastle, after- wards Sir Richard Bonnycastle. the author of “Canada and the Cana- dians". passed through here in 1848, and in his letters thus refers to our village. “We reached Rich- mond Hill, 17 miles from the land- ing, having made a better journey than usual through a road that might be called the “Slough of Despond” and which will be mac- adamized some day by the Board of Works. But why Richmond Hill should be so called I never could discover for it is neither so very picturesque nor so highly poetical, although Dolby's is a most comfort- able resting place for a weary trav- eller, at which a prose writer or poet might find a haven. Attention, good fare and neatness prevail." Sir Richard's search for the pictur- esque did not extend far, if it did not reach beyond the window of a village tavern. The Student Council now per- forms many of the administrative duties of the former Literary So- ciety. Under the Student Council the. various societies, such as Boy's Athletic Society, Girls’ Athletic Society, Music Club and Drama Club, retain their own identity and govern their own activities. How- ever the Student Council aids the various clubs by grants of money and loans. The Student Council serves as the central banking agâ€" ency, yet each club controls its own finances. The Student Coun- cil may offer advice, or pay debts but it does not direct the activities ot the smaller organizations. The funds for the Student Coun- cil are obtained by a student fee of $1 per year and by a school magazine sales campaign conductâ€" ed each autumn. The students are grateful to their parents and friends for the support given them each year in obtaining a sales pro~ Dolby’s was the stopping place of the old stage coach that ran be- tween Toronto and the Landing. with its great lumbering box swung on heavy leather springs. bouncing and joulting its dusty occupants to their destination. The arrival of that coach once a week with its four and sometimes six in hand was as great an event to us boys as the coming of a locomotive and its long train of cars is to the boy of later days.

RICHMOND HILL 7weedsmuir History AVenue 5-1143 ARTICLE 14 I feel that I have worked more conscientiously this year than ever before because in most cases this course is our last step before we enter the business world. All of us realize how much there is to ac- complish to gain the required speeds in both our shorthand and typing before the term is com- pleted. Of course, the acquisition of any skill demands a continual and concentrated effort on the part of any student, so we cannot poss- ibly treat our work from dag to day in a lackadaisical fashion we hope to achieve success. fit of approximately one thousand dollars. These funds are spent judiciously in the purchase of stage. music and athletic equip- ment. The music risers for the new stage is an example of the type of equipment purchased. In co-operaion with the School Board, the Student Council plans to aid the Music Club in the purchase of a grand piano and of additional band instruments. The Student Council is doing well in fostering school spirit and in correlating the extra-curricular activities of the school. To be a member of the Student Council is the aim of every student who has a true school spirit. by Joyce Wilde What does this Commercial Course mean to us? Well, I as a senior student feel that it is in- valuable in preparing us for what lies ahead in offices where we may find positions. Some might have the mistaken impression that this course is just a side-track for stud- ents who want an easy road from the academic curriculum. but 1 can say from my own experience that it is anything but that. In these 100 families there were: Drunkards 214, sudden deaths 44, suicides known to the public 13, premature deaths by drunkeness 203, widows 45, orphans 235, mur- ders 4, executions 3. The old fashioned ciapboarded building gave way to a more sub- stantial edifice. which in its turn disappeared from sight under a suit of brick-clad clothes and handsome trimmings with comfort- able surroundings in abeyance to the excellent taste of the present enterprising proprietor of the Dominion Hotel. In the past fifty years of the his- tory of Yonge Street. hotels in- creased until at one time there were 30 in number, or about at an average of one to each mile. Many of these landlords entered upon the business, fine, noble-hearted men, who would in almost any other calling have been orna- ments to society. but wrecked and ruined in body and soul, they have pasSed away and are forgotten. The number of liquor iellers on Yonge Street in the first fifty years of this century was 100. On the day the stage was due we would gather around the great sign-post on which swung high above us a full-length portrait of a handsome young lady called “The Lass of Richmond Hill," and form a sort of reception committee for the passengers on route. Here a change of horses took place from large stables which stood on the site of the present Herald office. Thesegstables went down in an ex- tensive fire in the early fifties, which swept away building, horses and equipment with a row of dwellings on the south, and the Northern Railway killed at! the rest of the stage business on Yonge Street. Losé of property, real estate once owned by these families $293,500. Murray, who is an eighth grade pupil of Miss Pat Hardy at the Headford School spoke on the subject “From East to West" and in addition gave an impromptu speech. Congratulations go to Mur- ray Coulter, 14-year-old son of C01. and Mrs. James Coul- ter of Headford,.who won first place in the Ontario Element- ary School Oratorical finals held during the O.E.A.
