Brown, Dealer Winghani, Ontario i1tAL WI TGrf ]GAM ADVANCE -TIMES Synesius, who was ;bored about 375 A.D., at Cyrene, a city of Greek cul- ture and learning in north Africa. He had the most wonderful genealogy of any man' living, being able to trace his ancestry back seventeen gener- ations, =until its beginnings were lost in the myth that connected it with the Heraclidae, or children of Her- rules l Helms renowned for lois education, philosophy, patriotism and eloquence., His epistles, still in existence, show him to have been far in advance of his times in secular knowledge,:' and the science of government, and he teas held in high esteem by his fell- ows and a wide circle of admirers. He foresaw the danger of the in- vasion by the Goths, that worked al- most fatal injury to the Roman em- pire, and he went to the court of the Emperor Arcadius, and for three long years . agitated for an adequate pre- paration to meet such an attack. ,,Some of his addresses to monarch and senate we have wholly or in part, and no one cart fail to recog- nize the zeal,' ability, and eloquence with which he urged the claims of an ardent patriotism, 'upon the degener- ating rulers • of .what had been the world's mightiest empire. He won great renown from the connoiieurs of great orations, but even his eloquence could not arouse them to the dangers of the situation. In aro ire was elected Bishop of Ptolemais, a new city built near the then almost ruined Cyrene Synesius protested vainly against as- suming so important areligious-office. His temper unfitted him for it he urg- ed; he could not bear the thought of exercising authority over inen holier than himself; his learning was not of the character required in a bishop. All his objections' were of no avail. The people, and his emperors wanted their favorite, the champion of their cause, for their bishop and no one else; so that in the end he had to ac- cept the episcopal appointment. Perhaps he had gone too far in dec- laring eo-laring ' the reasons for his notion of unfittedness for the episcopate. The scandal spread abroad, and was often repeated by contemporary and other !writers, that he did not believe in the divinity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus verist, nor accept in its fulness the `Christian doctrine of the Resurrect- ion. Most likely there was nothing more to •support such changes that Synesius fervent declaration of his unfittedness for the episcopal office, which were barn of his over -modest desire to avoid such honor. doubt. the great influence of • Plato the Greek philosopher upon the p' church in its earlie.t years, which nnay be traced in New Testament cretin as for instance it introduc- • tion to St. )I.!h :'2 G incl, would be I acutely felt � by one so enthusiastically Greek by de -cent and education as 1 was Svnesime Platonism and Christ- ianity .Haight have .become mingled, in his philosophy. Scine claim that his writimt:.s are on the borderland of both systems. But our iaymn is proof of. his belief in our Messed Lord's divine power and person. and that is the great thing, a man roust believe in the reality; of His Resurrection if he be- lieves an His present power and div- inity. Ten Odes, or hymns, Synesius ' wrote intended to form one separate book, all lovely in form and contents and it is the tenth the last of these which in its English dress is popular in our congregations today and is printed herewith. How long his episcopate lasted we are not quite sure. but his memory has always been cherished especially- in the Eastern Orthodox or Greek Catholic' church. as that of the famous philosophical and in times of peril. patriotic bishop. Our translation of the Greek Ode was made by an English Church clergyman, the Rev. A. W. Chatfield, distinguished elassicsl scholar, Vicar • of ' Much -3. arc'e, Herefordshire, who was born ire zSteS. He was an admirer of Bi_b' p Synesius and turned all his Odes into English verse. These were published .in his "Songs and, Hymns cat earliest Greek Christian Poet_, Bishops and others" (1S760.

These statistics will based upon the returns to be col- a tme' teem the individual ewers upon cardboard schedules is - d to thefts through . the teachers children of flee mural scimoctils.' The schedule is a very simple one, calling only for the areas sown to field crops and the numbers of farm areas sown are based the preliminary, animals alive on the farms in mid-June. Upon the resulting estimates of total provisional and final estimates of field, which are of supreme importance in connection with the movement, fin- ancing, distribution and sale of the principal cereals, especially of wheat of which Canada is now the world's leading exporter. The present plans for the collection of these statistics have been followed annually since 2gm7, and the estimates based thereon have come to• be con- ddently relied upon by all interested in the production and distribution of Canadian grain. Accurate statistics are indispensable for a proper appreciation of the nat- ional progress, and in order to ensure. that the statistics may be as accurate as possible, it is earnestly hoped that farmers througlit the Dominion will not fail to render the small service requiredby,• filling up and returning the schedule: issued. If nay farmer should not receive the catdbdard schedule by the middle of of June he should apply for same eith- er to the . schooI teacher of the near- est local rural school, or to his pro- vincial Department of Agriculture; or to the Dominion Statistician at Ott- awa. The aim is to obtain a completed schedule from every farmer, as the more numerous the returns, the more trustworthy will be the resulting es- timates. Are You a. Mason?
