Presbyterian Summer Schools
Three to Be Held This Year,dnclud
ing One At Goderich, July 5 to 12
The summer school committee of
the Synod of Hamilton and London
is making arrangements for three
schools within the bounds of the Synod
This year the committee purpoees
holding three s000els at points within
reach of all the young people and re
ligious workers tn the Synod.
The Sunset Renee, Goderich, has
been again engaged for the week July
5 to 12. By the far spreading waters
of Lake Huron for the third time the
school will meet for study and recrea
tion. The past success that has
marked the school at Goderion will no
doubt be continued this summer,
The second school will be at Leans
ington, on the shore of Lake Erie July
5 to 12 and the third at Grimsby Park,
for the accommodation of those resid
ing in the eastern part of the Synod,
July12 to 19.
At each of these points there will be
found splendid faci ities for boating'
bathing and field sports. No effort
will be spared by the committee to
make the outdoor sports and recrea
tion attractive and healthful.
The special features at each of the
schools will be the series of classes on
Bible interpretation, missions, social
service auel religious education. The
leaders will be specialists iu their own
department and it is expected that a
great twilit will be given to the spirit
ual life of the Synod. The egeuing
meetings will be especially interesting
and prominent speakers will discuss
and lecture on timely subjects. At
tentiou will be given to the study of
hymnology under the direction of
Rev Alex¥cMillan, of the committee
on church praise.
The expense will be moderate and
within the reach of all. Full 'tartlets
lags may be obtained regarding the
three schools from Rev. G. E. Ross,

tions forregistration androoms should

Deep up the good work of Arbor
Day. There is much 'that might
be done on these becasions about
tlae public schools and church prem
uses that would enhance the beau-
ty of the locations. Some of the
barest and ill kept properties are
these, whereas a half day spent
once a year would cause 'diem to
blossom like a rose. The trustees
should prove their interest by
proffering assistance or pioneering
the work. Many a looane property
could be largely increased in value
and appearance by a nice lawn, a
few flower beds, the cutting out
of wild growth bf tree and bush
and' the putting down of cement

loom big. '
