The thinkers of that day were all looking for a better way of living- and studied the teachings of the Greek philosophers for this purpose— hence when. Jesus came with his new teachings they were eager and ready to listen and think deeply upon it and ip this way Christianity spread very quickly.

THE DIONNE SEASON Motor officials estimate "Dionne season'” in 1936 more motorists than ever That is just the League Ontario that the will bring to Canada, manager’s way of predicting an in­ crease of tourist travel, incidentally giving a little credit for the increase to the amazing quintuplet sisters of Callender. There were almost 15,000,* 000 tourists to Canada from the Unit* cd States last year, so it is readily seen they cannot all get a look at the quints, even if they so desired* Nevertheless, the traffic in both Ont­ ario and Quebec is definiely affected by the north country attraction. Many come to Ontario for the first time because of the quints. Others who would ordinarily remain near the bor­ der cofitintte their trip to the Hbrih Country. Still others who usually tour in Quebec now come to Ontario via Montreal and' return to the States by way of Toronto or Windsor, . Ifeil 11 l.r
