“lthtr-fctt-hed as tho idea may muntl, snakes have a very real bear int: on tho cost of living.

DIITRICT BOY! OQN FIRINCI

A very successful District Boys’ Conference was held in Hunter River on Saturday, February 21st under the auspices of the North West Queens Sunday School As- snciation.

There were in all sixty two pres- ent made up of leaders, pastors, ad- ults and young men and boys- tlelegates from the various Sunday Schools within the district.

The morning and afternoon ses- sions were held in the Presbyter- ian church. The morning session ivas opened with devotional exer- cises led by Rev. John Stirling.

Following this the first Item of business was the election oi the officers of the conference. The officers elected were as follows:

Presitlenb- Roy Vanlderstone; Vice President-Rey Kennedy; Secretary Treasurer—~Roland Bun- tain.

Two addresses were then given one on the subject "Why we are llere" by tS. B. Profit and the oth- er on “The Sunday Session" by R. t). Sidenius. The meeting then adjourned and the delegates were entertained at the various homes in the village for dinner.

The afternoon session was op- ened by Rev. George Ayers, Pleas- ant Vtrlley, leading the devotional exercises. -

latter two addresses were given one by R. C. Sidenius and the oth- er by J. A/Clarke of Charlotte- town.

All the addresses of the day were interesting and instructive and were listened to with rapt at- tention by all who were DPBBQBI-

At 4 p. m. the leaders, the dele- gates and all repaired to the lower part of the Orange Hall where group games were indulged in un- til 6 Ip. m. when all were invited to the upper hall where the ladies had prepared a sumptuous repast for the occasion. To this repast it is needless to say all did ample lustice.

Following the banquet came a “Sing Song" for about half an hour This was thoroughly enjoyed by ztll.

When this was over Mr. A. Mof- fatt, president of the North West Queen's S. S. Association, was chosen chairman for the evening and short addresses were given by Messrs A. Moffatt, J. A. Clarke, A. C. Le Page, Donald Andrews, Simon Brown, J. C. Clarke, How- ard Baltlerston, D. M. McDonald. \\'. ll. Slackfortl and J. K. Mu- Kt-nzic. All spoke briefly and for- cefully of the importance of work among worth of Boys’ Conferences and all such gatherings where boys can get together and rub shoulders with each jother.

This szries of short addresses was followed by a somewhat len- gthy address by S. B. Profit, who gavc a very interesting and iii- structive_ account of the Interna- tionzil Youth Conference recently

held at Des MOlIIGSLO which Mr.

Profit was one of the delegates

from Prince of Wales College. Af- ter a brief time had been spent

in singing D. C. Sldenius one "Forward Step“ talk. This was followed by a short ad-

gave

(lress by Rev. R. ll. Stavert. Bc-

fore beginning his address Mr. Stnvert on behalf of thc Confer- ence thanked the ladies of llun- ter River and vicinity for their ltiutlness and their generosity in having provided such a bountiful ropast for all who had attended the (lonfereuco.

After Mr. Stavert had given his address and had made his appeal to the boys to press ever on to still higher and higher levels of life, all joined hands and the conference was brought to a close with the friendship circle.

A final word from Mr. Roy Van ltlerstine president of the Confer- ence declaring that the Conference was closed, followed by prayer and benediction by the Rev. R. ll. Stavert brought all of the proceed- ings to an end‘.

iii-_- DAVlD'S HARP

John 0' London's Weekly pub- lishes some clerical stories for the amusement of its renders, one of which relates to Ditvids harp and the clerk of i. parish situated anywhere but in Wales, as the an- ecdote very certainly shows.

One Saturday evening the clerk of this parish called to see the rector. “Well, John, what is it?" said the rector. “It's like this; one of the psalms for tomorrow has the words:

"And may our hearts in tune be

found Like David's harp of solemn sound. The people here don't know what a harp is; so it don't convey no meaning to them. So l wanted to ask you If l could alter the lilies to “And tmay our hearts be tuned within

Like Uncle David's violin .

They know what a. violin is, be- cause olti" David Jones plays one in the gallery.”

“Very well, John," said tho rec- tor, "l don't mind.”

On the next day, when giving out the words of the psalm, the rector found to his horror that he had left the piece of paper on WlilCll he had written the lines, at home; rmd he could not remem- ber how they wcnt on. Ho could only think 0f the word "fiddle." So ho boganzflAnd may our hoarts"--- pause, while he searched all his pockets—"And may our hearts-J’ 'I‘lien in desperation he said:

"And may our hearts go dlddle
