It is a vital part of every prov- ince and every community, enabling Canadians every- where to enjoy its benefits. Canadians use more electricity in their homes than any other people on earth, and consumption is doubling every decade.

Elson and Mrs. George Irwin of the Afternoon and Even- ing Auxiliaries of Richmond Hill Church welcomed the presbyter- ial members.

Canon Barnett’s Interest in pri- son work began as a young Divin- ity student in Dublin, Ireland, He was ordained in the old coun- try, and following the first world war in which he served in the ar- tillery, he came to Canada. Though engaged in parish work he was asked to assist the Chap- lain at the Don jail, and since then he has visited many penal institutions. Last year he retired after tweny-six years as rector of S‘. Clements, east Toronto, but he continues to visit prisoners, es- pecially youths. some of whom he confesses are “little devils" who cultivate a tough, hard demeanor as a badge of courage, but need loving just the same. Great strides have been made in the treatment and re-establishment of prisoners in recent years, he said, largely due to the influence of the Churches, and Social Ser- vice organizations. In Toronto one of the first agencies set up was the First Offenders Club, started by the late Magistrate J. E. Jones, an Anglican. Other so- cieties today include the John Howard, to help recently released men, and the Elizabeth Fry, for women, and Ingles House to which girls are sent by the courts. The second annual meeting of the York Presbyterial of the W0- man’s Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada was held in Richmond Hill United Church with 140 women. by Doris M. FitzGerald “Why have we so many prisoners in our jails today? All too often there are ‘delinquent’ parents in the back- ground”, the Rev. Canon T. W. Barnett told members of Holy Trinity Church W.A. in the course of his interesting informal address in the church hall, Thornhill. During more than 40 years of visiting, and striving to re-habili. tate, inmates of detention homes, reformatories and peni- tentiaries, Canon Barnett has learned that many of the prisoners had no home life as youngsters, and no concept of religion. “Some one failed them,” he said, “and it is up to the Church to regenerate them. We cannot convert, but we can act as sign posts directing them to God.’ Canon & Mrs. T. Barnett Tell W.A. of Prison Work York Presbyterial W.M.S.

At the lunch hour tea and des- sert were served by the Richmond Hill ladies in the beautiful audi- torium of the education building. Head table guests included offic- ers from Toronto Conference Branch and Centre Presbyterial. 7 Canon Barnett refrained from describing the grimmer aspects of prison life and cited a few instan- ces of men who were successful in making a fresh start. He stres- sed the need of understanding. and kindness. and said that it is the little everyday things that count . . . “the cup of cold water. offered in the name of Christ." His talk was well Iarded with the Irish wit which undoubtedly makes him a cheerful and wel- come visitor and confidant. His wife whom he says, has always helped him, even to the extent of having unexplained. and unexpec- ted. guests for dinner, was also present. Mrs. Barnett. who is education secretary of the Dioce- san W.A., spoke briefly on the work of the Elizabeth Fry Socie- tyLand Ingles House.
