The Age of Reptiles, :or Nesizlue era,
as the geologist calls. it, began, 140,000,-
000 years ago. Geologists think it
lasted about 100,000,000 years. °
The' process of life, it will be noticed,
is speeding up. 'Half of.the' e:arth's.
history, 4.00,000,000 years, was, spent in
getting We started. The age -of an-
cient life lasted 220,000,000 years:
New' we find -much greater advances
�taking'-place in tar less time.
•The Aga of Reptiles, begins with the.
erid of-. the great ice age which closed
the Era of Ancient Life.
At,.the start of the Age .of. Reptiles,.
plants had made great advances in the
art.. of living out of water.
We find . palm -like cycads and- low -
grown ever -green trees.': Gradually as
the Age of Reptiles ,dragged through
its millions of. years, Bewaring plants
began, to develop. _-
The reptiles began to grow both . in
number and in size.
In the sea, great fish lizards paddled
about;
On land, veritable dragons,. the dine -
saws, appeared.

These started the conquest of the

These great bat -lizards are, known as

Message to -Social VVorkei s.
Addressing the Annual Convention
of the •Children's Aid Societies of On- -
tario reeently held at the Parliament
Buildings; Toronto, Mr. J. J. Kelso
gave social workers the following
message Keep warm in your heart
the 'real spirit -of sympathy, and good
will for ..the poor, the distressed, the
erring; for we can accomplish more of
permanent good by a friendly forgiv-
ingattitude than we can ever hope for
through employing the machinery of
16:w. Officialdom—following blindly a
set formula—hardens and deadens,
but love restores and makes alive,
and ,t gives alone influence and
power in philanthropic as in`Christian-
work.
,.Our guiding principle should be to
overcome evil with -good, to substitute
reformation for punishment, to im-
prove or change environment, to re-
store self-respect andthe sense of
_...
iresponsibility, to awaken in dormant
hearts a seal desire for, better and
nobler living. Such a policy animating
all our actions will surely be produc-
tive
roductive of lasting' results, and give to the
worker a joy and satisfaction in ser-
vice that will compensate for all the
failures and disappointments that are
more or less inevitable in spite of our
best efforts,
