Thou whose all-pervading eye George Washington Doane, born at Trenton, New Jersey, h1 x799, came of a family of military men, and he ohee declared: "I ani strictly in line with them" The" above competitions w, re held His was a life of conflict for the for the first time in Huron County right as he saw it and his ministry sEpiscopal on July 2htih, at Blyth. These compe- °of the Unite in - in the x''ro a slant Church titions, organized by the agricultural d States was one of in- .' powers cessatit advance against the p of evil rather than of quiet defence. Ordained in 1821 he served as as- sistant in Trinity church, Boston, Where his eloquence and ability soon attracted attention and he became rector of the parish afterwards well known as the charge of the celebrated Phillips,;13rooks While still a young man, in 1832 he was elected bishop of New Jersey, in which office lie was a regular model of activity and efficiency. Naturally he excited opposition as such restless souls always do, and his incessant claim to set the work :and services of the church on the highest level under all circumstances claiming that "Qod must always have the best" arrayed against him the forces of those who prided themselves ontheir low- church principles, Bishop Doane soon saw,' that the hope of raising his .people to higher'' spiritual levels, lay in the education of the young. Education had always been and always was a favorite sub- ject with him. Accordingly he set to work .to establish a superior church school for girls to be:'ealled St" Mary's Hall, which from its first inception was a success, in sppte of the opposi- tion it' excited. He was 'led on from that, in answer to many requests, to establish .Burlington' College as a cor- responding church school for boys. These establishments caused the good bishop financial embarrassments of which his opponents took advan- 'cage to charge him before the courts of law. From these trials he emerg- ed triumphantly, and his .straightfor- ward attitude throughout them won him several new friends. While harassed by such worries, we are told that the bishop after a hard day's work returning to his study took up the Bible, as was his, custom, and opening at the Book of Psalms, his eyes chanced to light up- on the verse: "Let my prayer be set before Thee as incense and the lift- ing up of my hands as the evening sacrifice." Reading the words in the golden light of the setting sun, says .a U.S. writer, they "made a deep impression upon the good, Bishop's mind; the restfulness of the sentiment and the hour contrasted with the storm and. stress of so much of his life, carried its message straight home, and .seiz- ing his pen he wrote ata single heat the immortal lyric:" Softly now the light of day. Fades upon my sight away. The hymn became instantaneously popular. Happily paired with the air that perfectly suited it, it was sung all over the English-speaking world, and has for more than three-quarters of a century been known as the Even - Song." The hymn, however spontaneous, was not the work of an untrained poet. Bishop Doane's first superior at Boston had been the saintly Wil- liam Crosswell, whowrote poetry of "a superior kind and encouraged his. assistant to do the same. Mr. Cross - well's sudden death in -church at ev- Good dressing—Louise Mills, Mel- ensong, just. after he had recited the . da McElroy, Elizabeth Mills, Annie tender little collect, beginning "Light- en our warkness we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, and by Thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night,"' made a deep impression upon Young Doane, and the remembrance of that beautiful ending to a useful life was always with him. Bishop Doane wrote severarhymns, this one as printed above, "Fling out the Banner," and "Thou Art the Way" being found in most of the hymn books. Happily a clever organ- ist knew the origin of the musician Gottshalk's "Last Hope", composed spontaneously one evening upon a pi- ano in the next room to ttie one where a very dear musical friend was just dying, and from its theme con- structed the charming tune to which it is usually sung. The appropriate- ness of the tune to the words helped to bring the hymn to almost immed- iate popularity. part in the competition was compar- atively small due to the very good haying weather, yet the`" twenty that turned out did excellent work and it is to be hoped that next year a more favorable . season' will be chosen and that a larger attendance may be re- corded, The beautiful cup and silver rnedal generously donated by Messrs: C, A. Robertson and W. G, Medd for first and second boys • in all classes of live stock, were won by Eldon Stoltz, Auburn, and Orval McGowan, Blyth, both members of the Blyth Junior Farmers' Association, Eldon ,made the fine score of 433 points outt`of a possible 5oo, while Orval followed closely with 430. Two brothers, Rob- ert and; William Archibald, of Sea- forth, tied for thirdplace with 414 points each, 'Fifth place went to Ed- win Woods,`' Blyth; sixth to Stewart Middleton, Clinton; and seventh tp William Mcllwaine, Gorrie. The standing in each class of live stock is shown below; Heavy horses — Orval McGowan; Richard Proctor; Edwin Woods, Jo- seph Hoggart, William Mcllwaine, William Archibald. Beef cattle—Robert Archibald; Or- val McGowan; Eldon Stoltz; William Mcllwaine and Jack Denholm. Dairy cattle - Stewart Middleton; Harry Waymbuth; Eldon Stoltz and Joseph Hoggart; George Pierce. Sheep — Robert Archibald; Eldon Stoltz; William Archibald; Joseph Hoggart; William- Mcllwaine. Swine—Robert Archibald;; Harold Wightman; .Orval McGowan and .Ed- win Woods; Harry Wayrnouth. The household science judging competition was one of the best that has ever been held in any of the counties, this not due to the fact, that it had the largest attendance of any of; the counties, because in all only 27 girls turned out. Neverthe- less, the judges and Miss Langton, the coach, remarked that the 'quality .of the work done has never been ex- celled in their experience. Over 20 of the girls made a score of 500 or better aut of a possible 600. Miss Melda McElroy, Blyth, carried off top honors with a total score of 559. She was followed by Miss Edna McCall',. Brussels, with 552; Florence Stewart, Brussels, 551; Louise Mills, Blyth, 543; May Wood, Blyth, 536,. The re- sults in the various classes were as follows: Nutrition — Melda McElroy, Mary Cartwright, Louise Mills,- Edna Mc- Call, Annie Garrett, Grace Shortreed. House furnishing -- Edna McCall, Florence Stewart, Mary Wood, Mel - da McElroy, Grace Shortreed, Jean Holtzhatier. It is touching now to attend the chapel service at St. Mary's Hall on a Wednesday , evening where the sweet virginal voices of the matey girls in attendance always sing ten- derly and softly the hymn the found- er of their college composed as a me- morial of him. Bishop Doane died in 1823 in the very prime of life, a valiant fighter for,/His Master's cause to the very last. One of his sons, William Cross - well Doane, assisted him in his East. years and was elected the first Bishop of Albany, °N.Y., in 1869. Another son, George Hobart Doane, became a domestic bishop in the Roman Catho- lic branch of the church. LIVE STOCK AND HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE JUDGING COM- PETITIONS representative's department, Clinton, and ably assisted by the Institutes Branch, Toronto, were new to many of the young men and women of the county bur, nevertheless, the -attend- ance and interest shown ati so busy a season of the year would, indicate a great future for this work.' While the number of boys taking Mcllwaine, Bertha Hoggart, Gladys Fawcett. The girls' .team for the Canadian National Exhibition inter - county household science judging competi- tion will likely be composed of Misses McElroy, McCall and Mills, Miss Stewart not being eligible due to the fact that she has spent one year at Macdonald Institute, Guelph. It is expected that something good will be heard from this team of •-•girls when they compete with the other coun- ties for high honors at the Exhibi- tion. Great credit for the results of this first competition is due to Mr. J. R. Ostler, assistant agricultural repre- sentative, who arranged for the class- es of live stock and for the halls and other things necessary for the success of a contest of this kind. Miss Iva Langton, of the Institutes Branch, Toronto, spent the better part of two weeks in the county coaching the various groups of girls in house- hold science judging. Thatf she has received a good response is clearly indicated by the results obtained. In the evening a supper was held at the hotel in Blyth attendvl by about seventy young people as well as the judges and others who assisted at the contest. An excellent address was given by W. K. Riddell, agricul- tural gricul-tural representative, Bruce county, who had, previously assisted in judg- ing the live stock. kir. Riddell's re- marks were not only filled with hu- mor but coni :. ed a good deal . of ad- vice pertaining to the organization and accomplishments 'of Junior Farm- ers' Associations and Junior Insti- tutes. Mr. C. A. Robertson presented the trophies on behalf of .himself ancl,, Mr. Medd and also added a few re- marks of interest to the young peo- ple. Addresses were also given by Mr. Ostler and Mr. F. A, Wiggins, of Clinton. The chair was occupied by Agricultural Representative Pat- erson, Miss Langton announced the results of the girls competition. ietition• She was supported in the judging work by 'Misses Slictcr, Elliott and Rowe, of the institutes Branch. It is to be hoped that in future years greater numbers of young meta and young women will turn' outand take part in these contests, i rE H1M IIIc IIIMIIII IIII IIII INIwIil �liMllnMMil'(MI1IfwIlIMMIIII iIIMIIiI11MIII�IItIMIIIIMW1111111111 111111111011031110= 111 l.� Baran + of dale Y1..1.1.L.R• m e r G�ods RAYON'S SILKS 49c Blue, Fawn, Mauve and Sand. shades of Rayons, in iin'estripes and checks, 33 inches wide -49c CREPES 95c Fancy Silk and Cotton Crepes —ideal for summer wear, 36 in. wide, reg, to $;.75, for 95c.
