TORONTO, Oct. IA raid on a spir-
itualist meeting on Bathurst street last
night Furnished some lively scenes, end
ing in a free fight and the capture of a
ghost who turned out to be Rev. Eliza
beth Rowland, an American lady about
80 years of age. At first the ghost was
attired only in fimsy gauze and the
police permitted the lady to retire and
don other garments. She was accom-
panied by her husband, Rev. Clarence
c. Rowland. Both prisoners describe
themselves as ministers of the gospel of
Spiritualism. The police were attacked
by some of the Spiritualist followers,
but succeeded IN conveying the prison
ers to No. 3 Station, where they were
charged with fraud, being released at
midnight on $500 bail.

TOuOIuius NONellOSr -, 19Oi.
Gentlemen: have the honor to sub
nit the following report for the period
from October so. 1907, to date.
My own time during this period has
been mainly occupied in the prepara-
ton of reports on several matters re-
ferred to me by the Committee on For
estry and in the regular routine work
OF the Division Of Forestry.
on November 18th. at the request OF
the secretary and of the chairman of
the Committee on Forestry of that
organization, I read a paper on THE
progress of forestry in Hawaii during
the past year. before the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association. At the
same meeting Mr.. L. A. Thurston, the
chairman of the Committee on For
estry, presented an exceedingly able
statement that set forth in a compre-
hensive way how the diminishing TIM
Der supply of the American mainland
directly affects the forest question in
Hawaii and how. consequently. it is
essential to the continued we'll being
of these islands that a rational forest
policy be adhered to. Mr.. Thurston's
address was published in full in the
Advertiser of November 18th. 1907. It
will repay careful reading and
thoughtful consideration.

Arbor Day was this year observed on

When a Girl Most
Needs a Mothers Aid.

| was impressed with a story | read
of motherless girl who was about
to marry a man who had been kind
to her, yet one whom she did not love,
and the heart yearning of the girl for
her mother in this instance is as beauti-
full as it is pitiful, says writer in the
Womans National Daily. II shows the
true instinct of every girl TO fly to the
sheltering love of good mother when a
mother is most needed. The girl who
has no mother is the ioneiiest girl in
the world, and she misses JOY which
some girls hold lightly until too late.
Every day we read of some tragedy in
life in which some girl has done some
thing to bring shame on her mother
something which lowers her in tile esfi-
nation of her friends. Sometimes it is
an elopement. sometimes trickery and
deceit. One of the saddest things in life
is when girl begins TO deceive her
mother.
A girl may and will make mistakes
in life. for who lives that does not make
them? but she will make fewer, and live
a better. truer life if she makes her
mother a contidant. In the story the girl
had only the mothers picture to look at,
but she seemed to find in the eyes which
looked down upon her a silent warning
to wait until the right man came along.
It was only a story. but it was a good
one. for it breathed Of mothers love and
girlish confidence.

Sympathy and Comfort.

Sympathy is human; comfort is divine.
Comfort is not merely telling your friend
that you are sorry for him in his trouble.
whatever be the tactful word or the deli
cate token you choose for conveying to
him your thoughtful interest. Comfort
is not essentially an audible telling nor
a visible giving at all, but is the impart-
ing of a touch of power that will helr
that friend to bear his burden. To com
fort another. one must know God, and
know what it is to be used of Him: and
one must know the story of how lie
himself comforted those whom He
touched with hands of healing and peace.
One must carry Him like mighty pres
ence from man to man, and from home
to home, and let the thrill of divine
strength be felt vibrating straight from
the Fathers Sunday School Times.
