And hearing no voice, mused: "We ask in vain” when from the heart the answer came “God.’J Then the voice of the Elder is heard: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season: his leaf shall not wither and. whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” And. turning their eyes once again to the trees in whose shadow they set they "Bless the unseen hand to which they owe The annual festival of bees, these songs Of birds within their screen, these shouts Of joy from children gathering up the fruit Shaken in Fall from the willing boughs.” The service is over, good-byes are said and with hearts full of strange emotions home they go and await with ^eagerness the next visit of the Elder. Upon scenes like these the memory dwells and we thank God and take courage. The Synod of Hamilton and Lon don was formed in 1875, and brought together into one “Court” scattered Churches and groups in Presbyteries in Western Ontario and the Western provinces. Such names as Dr, John Black, Kildonan; Dr. James Robert son, Winnipeg; Rev. R. Jamieson, New Westminster, are found on the former Rolls of the Synod. To-day, in territory, the Synod covers West ern Ontario only, and is still one of the largest Synods in the Church, and four other Synods take care of West ern Canada, and another north of Bruce Peninsula. The records show that Governor Simcoe, in 1793, invited Rev. James Collver, a member of the Presbytery of the State of New Jersey, to come and preach the Word of God on the shores of Lake Erie, where Presby terians were somewhat numerous at that time. Mr. Collver accepted, the invitation and labored among the peo ple until 1818, in which year he died, having reached the good old age of 88 years. 1801 saw zRev, W. D. Eastman be ginning his work that lasted for 62 year in St. Catharines. Rey. John Bayne "The Chalmers of Canada”, began his labours in Galt in 1835, During the same year Rev. Daniel Allen arrived in Stratford and worked, in the beautiful city on Avon and Woodstock also. Qf him it. is said he was a profound scholar in Eng lish, Gaelic, Greek, Latin, Hebrew and French. Space prohibits the writer giving even the briefest note on Thomas Christie -of West Flamboro, Wm. Proudfoot of London, Donald Mac- Kenzie of Zorra, Alex. Ross in Aid borough, Wm. Barrie, who founded Churches from Eramosa north in 1843, Wm, McAllister of Sarnia and Lambton, Wm. Cochrane of Brant ford, Dr, W. T. McMullen of Wood- stock, and a host of other who broke the ground, did the spade work and laid the foundations of Presbyterian ism in Western Ontario. It is a long story. Many names of noble men and women are found on the "Communion Rolls,” who have lived and1 kept the faith, and having served their day, have passed on to their reward. Old records hold many secrets and if the cryptic statements in them could speak out plainly, we would hear many stories of faithfulness, de votion and" sacrifice. We younger people have entered upon a noble heritage, rich beyond measure. To our hands has fallen the torch, and upon our shoulders the mantle. Let us be true to the past, ennoble the present and confidently look forward to the future. CONSERVATIVES WILL CONVENE IN JULY Dates of National Convention Are July 5, 6, 7 — Leader Will Be Chosen About 1,500 voting delegates will assemble in Ottawa, on July 5, 6 and 7 for the national Conservative con vention at which a new leader will be chosen to succeed Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett and steps taken to reorgan ize and rejuvenate the party. Decision as to date and plans were completed at Ottawa on Saturday at a meeting of the convention commit tee which organized under the joint chairmanship of John R • MacNicol, member for Toronto-Davenport, and Maurice Dupre, of Quebec, former solicitor-general. Mr. Bennett, whose retirement be cause of ill health was announced at a national party conference early in March, called the committee together and addressed them briefly prior to the selection of joint chairmen. Gor don Graydon, member for Peel, and Georges Heon, member for Argent- euil, were selected joint secretaries. The committee fixed the following basis for selection of delegates: All Conservative privy councilors who now support the party. All Conservative senators, All Conservative members of the House of Commons. A|1 defeated Conservative candi dates at the 1935 general election. Members of provincial legislatures who support the Conservative party federally. Four delegates from each federal riding with four non-voting altern ates. All members of the national con vention committee as delegates at large. All former Conservative lieutenant- governors. As many delegates at large from each province as that province has ridings. * Special delegates at large represent ing the youth of the party, nine each from Quebec and Ontario and three each from each of the other provinces.

Complete un official returns gave 45,528,782 yes to 440,917 no. SALES TAX CUT IS SUGGESTED R. J. Deachman, M.P., Suggested Cut in Sales Tax to Combat Un employment. Speaking in the House of Commons last Thursday, R. J. Deachman, local member of Parliament* suggested that the sales tax be lowered 3 per cent, to increase purchasing power and thus relieve unemployment. 'When Mr. Deachman made this suggestion he was speaking on the report of the National Employment Commission, The following is a part of the ad dress that appeared in Hansard which deals with this portion of his speech. “I now come to the practical sug gestion I wish to make in regard to a solution of the unemployment prob lem, We have tried all these remed ies; we have tried tariffs ,and taxes and public works of different kinds. Public works are only another means of creating unemployment, and the more money we spend upon them, unless they are real, productive pub lic works, the more unemployment we shall have. I suggest to the Min ister of Finance (Mr. Dunning) a striking and bold course. We have ah eight per cent sales tax. Each one per cent of the sales tax takes $18,- 000,000 from the Canadian people, so far as the reventie of the country is concerned. But as the sales tax is pyramided, each additional one per cent will carry with it an additional pyramided tax—I do not ,know how much, but possibly one half of one per cent. In other words, when we have a sales tax of eight per cent* by the time it reaches the consumer it takps from the Canadian people ap proximately twelve per cent. Let us reduce the sales tax boldly, at one stroke, by three per cent. Measuring it only as a payment of revenue, that would give a total of $54,000,000 to be added as purchasing power of the Canadian people. But allowing for the fact that it is pyra mided* it would give an expansion of $80,000*00' of purchasing power to the people. Would not an addition of that much purchasing power improve bus iness conditions in Canada?” SPRING DISHES By Betty Barclay Watch out for the bogie man! His name is “Spring Fever.” Each year he visits thousands of people who continue to eat heavy winter meals while the trailing arbutus is budding and birds are getting ready for house keeping, Cut down on heavy foods this time of the year and avoid that languid feeling that denotes spring fgver. Serve light desserts instead of heavy —such as the following rennet-cus tards which require no eggs, no bak ing and no boiling; Coffee-Rennet-Custard 1 rennet tablet 1 tablespoon cold water 1 cup light cream 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons strong coffee <• Dissolve rennet tablet in 1 table spoon cold water. Warm milk, cream, sugar and coffee to lukewarm—not hot, (120 F,), A few drops on the inside of tfie wrist should feel com fortably warm. Remove from stove. Add dissolved tablet. Stir a few sec onds and pour at once into individual dessert glasses. Let set until firm— about 10 minutes. Chill in refrigerat or before serving. Ginger Way 1 rennet tablet 1 tablespoon cold water 1 pint milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 tablespoons sugar H cup whipping cream Ginger cookies (or ginger snaps) Preserved .ginger Break a small ginger cookie or gin ger snap into each dessert dish. Dis solve rennett tablet in 1 tablespoon cold water. Warm milk, sugar and vanilla to lukewarm — not hot, (120 F.). A few drops on the inside of the wrist should feel comfortably warm. Remove from stove. Add dissolved tablet. Stir a few seconds and pour at once over ginger cookies. Let set until firm—about 10 minutes. Chill in refrigerator. Serve with whipped cream and a bit of grated preserved ginger. International Plowing Match Dates The dates for the 26th annual In ternational Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Demonstration, looked up on as one of the most outstanding yearly events in Canadian agriculture, have been set for October 11, 12, 13, 14, by the executive committee of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association. J. A. MacRae, Lpchiel, is president of the Association. The match this year is scheduled for Simcoe County, the site chosen being Minesing Flats, be tween the villages of Minesing and Edenvale and 12 miles northwest of Barrie. This location is ideal, in the opinion of the committee, as it is of easy access by automobile and on paved highway No. 26 from Barrie to Collingwood.

We asked him how it came to be named that way there and he could not explain it. That started us asking questions elsewhere, and we learned' that in some of the Midland counties of England they still cele brate Palm Sunday by eating figs. And back of that is the ancient tradi tion that the tree into which Zaccheus climbed to witness the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem on the Sunday before His crucifixion was not a sycamore tree, as our English Bible has it, but a fig tree.
