Lane and Mrs tStra- ,chan conducting the devotional exer- gases. ' The first .speakerwas i\9irs. Childs, of London,.who spoke on nThe Com- ing ,Kingdom,": delivering a very in- ep ratio nal 'address, (Beginnin g at the birth of 'Christ she pictured His childhood, with.the dawning of lihe knowledge of the (Gre'a't, Work ahead and the endeavor later an to :impart some of these deep spiritual realiza- tions to 'his followers. She likened the ,Christian 'life to leaven in 'bread, it av'orks with great uniformity; •there. are no divisions amongst Christians, nationality, 'race, color, snake none. She spoke. of the nvlonde.rful contri bution some 'foreigners are, making to lour national 'life and the keen -intelli- gence of a great 'many 'of :these peo- ple, upon whom we are apt to look down a little This is out of place amongst .Christians, however. She :told of -a group of New- Canadians who were asked how we 'could help thein. 'The answer was, "by (being more Considerate," Another said: "In ?God alone is unity." A. cornmittee ap- Poin•ted to study the likenesses. amongst the races is •co'lnp'os'ed of a iRoman Catholic priest, a ,Jewish rab- bi and an Anglican , bishop, She thought this significant, that they were going Go search 'for the things in common, not for differences. Leaven keeps on working until the whole is leavened: it didn't leave any unleavened parts. Christian workers. are too apt to stop :short of the goal. She thought a new standard of life was needed. Material things have 'tak- en Goo high a place in the life so Ian 'Our possessions are not our own while others are in sort\ need., She concluded with the story oii "Big Bill !Davidson," who was sent on a commission cif great danger dur-1 ing the war and told that it must be executed "at all cost," He executed .;kris work and came back to the .base, his plane crashing near it, from which this lifeless body was taken, his hands still grasping the wheel. He had exe- cuted his superior's orders, at the cost of his life. Mrs. H. C. 'Lawson contributed a very appropriate solo very sweetly "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say." 'Dr. Retta (Gifford-Kilborn, for many years a missionary in !West China, was the second speaker and she told many instructive and inspir- ing things about her work there and the situation In the Province of Szechwan, West China, there are sixty millions of people, ten millions of whom the United Church of Can- ada have the responsibility, Clod there 4 --ore also many millions in Honan :Ind 'Canton. Dr. 'Xilborn said the work of the United Church was like the '.British Empire, upon it the sun never sets. China is facing a crisis, it is either Communism or Christ. It adds greatly. to the Church's diffi- culties, but we should welcome dif- ificulties, In 119a12 China 'became a re- public but it is still in a state of con- fusion, with no settled central gov- ernment. She did not agree with something said thy Mrs. Childs about the wisdom of allowing the young to take the lead, In 'China this diol not work oat. Canadians complain about the ,way they are taxed, but in China the people are taxed twenty-five years in advance. IS:lsespoke enthusiastically about the Women's 'H'ospital in 'Chentu, where they have ninety beds, with only :five doctors, T,he training school 'for :nurses in this ,hospital, she claimed, was second to none, !Some people criticized the education- al and medical work in ,China but she said evangelistic work could best be carried on in connection with medical and ,educational work. Dr, '.Kiiborn went to China in ;1 9'4, being the ifirst .medical missionary sent to the !field Iby the W. M. S. She .spoke of the improvemen'ts in that time, 'Foot -binding now is illegal, not only so, but it is ou`t-of-date, unfashion- able, ,_ it is no longer done, except fu out of the way places. All doors in China are now open to missions, she declared, all that is needed are funds and workers, There is more money spent in Canada in cigarettes and cosmetics than in missionary work, she said, Rev, C, :Malcolm of .lEgniondville brought greeting's 'from the Presby- tery, which was meeting the same day. In the course of his remarks he asked the co-opetlation of the W, 31. S. in the Summer Camp project in which The Presbytery has invested, Mrs. !P, Hearn of Clinton then sang a well appreciated solo. Rev. C. W, D. Cosens dedicated the new officers to their work. The Clinton Mission ,Bands gave very interesting little exercises and a 'Bible drill, A anintite of silence was observed :a memory of those .had passed on daring the year, of whom there were lofty -two, .Special mention was made of the sad drowning acoident, recent- ly. in which Ernest :Penrose, son of Rev. 31r. Penrose, formerly ,of Varna, lost his life.

The onsideration,.The humanitarian side of .ac- ciden't prevention is the important side. 'The cost is really only an index of how well we are helping to protect cur: fellow Wren from dangerous haz- ards and unnecessary injury.' IIn these words Q. H. 'Sbenstone newly elected president of the !Indus- trial Accident Prevention IAssocia- tions, sunned up ,the work of the organization at the final session of its annual convention ' at the Royal '.York Hotel here last Friday afternoon. Mr. 'Shen tone admitted that acci- dents cost industry a huge sum of money every year, and he also ad- mitted that fro 11 0 financial • stand - paint, industry was attdiotis to. have ..his cost reduced, But he insisted that the mostimportant consideration of el leas the responsibility lvhich ev- ery employer .owed to his employees, to make their work as safe as Doss - PAGE THREE MUSIC TEACHERS AND PUPILS rhe 'Toronto Conservatory of Music !slid-: suinrner Local Examinations for 1934 will be: held throughout the' Dominion ht June and July' nest.

There were 11)115'7 delegates from al cities and towns in Ontario regis- tered at the two-day contention, which mirrored safety activity dur- ing the past year in 10,000 industrial plants throughout the province. The delegates participated enthusiastical- ly in the two-day program arranged by R. B. Morley, general manager of the I:A,P.A., and devoted many hours of study to the latest modern methods of protecting workers from the risk of injury. !Although prevention of accidents was the keynote of the sessions, re- habilitation of unfortunate victims of accidents that had not been prevent- • ed in time was also shown. One of the features of the convention was the demonstration put on 'by .the Reha:bil- itation Clinic of the Workmen's Compensation Board of Ontario. The clinic was moved holus bolus from its permanent quarters in a down- town office building, and sept up on. the Convention floor of the hotel, where the delegates could see it in' operation, Before a large gallery ::f J.,teretea pe tttori actual patients tads a.:t- nal t. ee:me ats at lie R; ltah li: i n '1-r i tes. sonosatiost.31en aeon here .n o.' f r ne1i,. anent .5 injeras'eit l - ee- its :tt their . ak, scant me- ds'., in the demonstration of.

Latest inventions and newest de- vices for preventing industrial acci- dents were also on display at the convention. There was a new type of flexible glass, clear and ,nto,:h as • erystal, but which could be bent al- most like rubber. An ingenious ma- chine twisted a strip of this glass back and forth all day without caus- ing it to crack, chip or show any sign of strain. Delegates also saw a new "safety" glass which could not be penetrated by a .33 revolver bul- let, These two new kinds of glass will be put into use in a thousand and • one ways is industry where a com- bination of visibility and safety is re- quired. Demonstrations of new methods of illumination formed another most in- teresting feature of the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations Convention, At one of the sessions therewas a miniature stage set up at one end of the Royal York ballroom, and the delegates were treated' to a. series of playlets illustrating the dif- ference 'between proper and improper lighting. The essence of the demon- stration was that it costs less to have good lighting in a factory or office because good lighting does not waste electricity, Records of how many ac- cidents had been caused by 'poo lighting were presented. and it was also emphasized that fatigue and ter- vouslvees caused by eyestrain in poor light were at the bottom of many ac- cidental injuries. .A fanner':, son emigrated to Aus- tralia to .make his fortune.
