people\u2019s votes un July 28.° ° .attention should be given to the remarks of Mr.A.W.Neill, member for Comox-Alberni, a British Columbia riding, with a great diversity of occupations, farming, logging, fishing and coal mining.Mr, Neill made plain that for his constituents of every class there could be only one result of the tariff\u2014namely, increased cost of living, with the reverse of any increase in employment as practically a certainty, due to the higher duties.\u2018In common with other critics of the government proposals he poured scorn on the pledges from Cam 3 ë EERE hi $ attitude of the United Farmers of Alberta was ably expressed by Messrs.Garland and Irvine, both exports If she is to prosper commercially.Their view that to cut off imports by prohibitory tariffs is bound to react on exports-is primary truth.Mr.Bennett's scheme of blasting his way into the markets of the world is exposed as tending merely to enrich certain privileged manufacturers.Cognate with them, Mr, J.8, Woodsworth their concern for the ultimate consumer, whether farmer or working man.All three emphasize the fact that manufacturers\u2019 pledges have In the past been worthless as is obvious.They cannot, pledge each other and 30 not even themselves.Mr.Garland's exposure of the conduct of certain motor-car manufacturers (see Hansard pages 418 and 419) was convincing evidence.Mr.Woodsworth put on record the distribution of the retail price of a 12c loaf which showed that the wheat producer received only 13.4 per cent, as against 50.77 per cent to the wholesale baker and 14.96 per cent to the retail grocer, the figures based on the years 1922-1034 by the United States Federal Trade lon.Mr.Woodsworth, who is 8 Labor member, scouted the idea that tariff increases could be made in the interests of the worker.\u201cIt would seem,\u201d he also remarked, \u201cthat in the modern world we have reached a stage when no longer can we go on absolutely regardless of the outside world; indeed we cannot very well care for our own household without giving some consideration to the nations about us.\u201d * .AILED examination of the new schedules, taken in conjunction with the figures of the condensed preliminary report on the trade of Canada for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1930, completely confirms what critics have said as regards the certainty of increases in the cost of living.On almost everything that Canadas buys from Britaln\u2014cottons, woollens, carpets, yarns, knitted goods, boots and shoes, together with iron and steel\u2014the tax goes up, tariffs being raised, in the case of socks and stockings, to take one example, by a hundred per cent plus a duty of a Aellar per dozen pairs.\u2018Many other æases, the increases being higher or lower, might be pointed to, all directly affecting farmers and people with moderate incomes.\u201d The serious thing from the standpoint of Canada\u2019s trade relations with Britain, our best customer, is what will be the effect on our exporta thither of restricting our importa.We have, at all events, no trade with our southern neighbor to lose by restricting our exports thence, She has already cut us off as far as possible, though we have been buying four times as much from her as we have from Britain, as Mr.J.H Thomas asserted during his visit to Canada last year, a fact confirmed by the trade report.* .are extremely serious days for Canadas, without magnifying our difficulties.The sise of our adverse trade balance ie the past year, was, it is being due to an exceptional cause, unimportant compared with the risk of antagonizing those who have hitherto been friendly, and that at a time when the glut of our stpple product shows no signs of mending.Mr.Bennett is not to be blamed for putting into effect the policies which he advocated during the election campaign.Some who supported him said he wouldn't; but those who financed him had to get their pound of flesh.Those who have laid upon us these new fetters and have promised s0 much in the way of employment are, no doubt, counting much on the better feeling prevailing in the world and the growing anticipation of better times just around the corner helping them out.Should this affect Canada, it would be coolly attributed to the new tariff.It is hardly to be hoped for that Mr.Bennett's recention in Britain on the part of his colleagues at the Imperial Conference, either the Mother Country's representatives or those of the Sister Dominions, will be completely cordial.As someone has observed, \u201cHe has thrown a monkey-wrench into the works\u201d of the British Commonwealth, In his absence Canada will begin to wake up to the pinch of his new enactments on the tarif.Prices HE manufacturers®are pledging themselves \u2014 how can they pledge all\u2014not to increase the prices of goods on which they seek still further imposts, so high that they will effectively secure elimination of com- \u201cpetition from abroad.It is a specious cry, in view of the fact that the price-curve of commodities the world over shows a downward tendency because of overproduction.What might be reasonably asked of these manufacturers is whether their prices will come down In \u2018accordance with \u201cworld prices?Of course, they will give no such guarantees.While on this subject, it ia well that we should realize that from the consumers standpoint England fs still the ideal country in which to live.Again to quote from the economist of the Bank of Nova Scola, wholesale prices there have been falling more rapidly than in Canada, Australia or the United States.Considering that Britain \u201cle still in the main a free trade country,\u201d and that each of the three coîntries with which comparison is drawn has, to say the least, fairly high protection, the conclusion to be drawn is obvious.\u201cWhen the level of prices has fallen to the point at which the purchasing power available in the world is capable of handling the great volume of business offered, the principal reason for the depression will have disappeared,\u201d writes the ecomo- mist already quoted.\u201cWe may, then, look for a resumption of business activity the world over.When \u201cthe Far East\u201d settles and can buy our wheat there will be no lack of a consuming market unless Russia forestalls us, There is, today, no question of more immediate practical importance than this: When will the fall of prices cease, and at what level will they be stabil- ined?\u201d In our view Mr.Bennett and his high protectionist cohorts are attempting to interject by means of & tartff for Canada a check ona \u201cdumping\u201d.We had premonitions of this fn the accusition raised by the American farmers that the Russian poo?was selling short on the Chicag> exchange.Why should ft not, in the gamble there, take advantage of fis exceptional knowledge of a world-wide market whose centre is at Liverpool?Who is to prevent it?Speaking of today\u2019s record low, an English author- Ky \u201ccannot remember a situation so terrible for the dominion farmers, due, it Is there naturally said, ta \u201cgrain planted, grown and reaped by serfs\u201d.Whether those words are correct or not, Ît is what we in Canada are up against.We suspect that what we have to face is not servile labor, but the efficiency of machines made in the United States and Canada, and increasingly applied to Russian fields.Who knows whether the Chicago story, however raised, did not give a temporary shock to the English market?Who knows what Interest is behind the terrible words that come to us today?But it comes at an awkward time when we have just laid new burdens on the producers af that by which Canada has long been Rving.The Right te Secede LONDON writer of a New York ngwspaper writes: \u201cTo an American brought up on New England achool-book accounts of the Civil War in the United States, the dispassionate manner in which the word \u201csecession\u201d is used in discussion (of the imperial bond) is amazing.Everybody is wilting to admit that any part of the empire, not excepting Great Britain, has a perfect right to secede if it wants to, but the political possibilities of the entire world con- iain no remoter contingency.\u201d True, South Afriea is gemanding that the right to secede be explicitly declared tn the definition of national status.Prat that, according to this correspondent, is purely academie; nothing is further from Mr.Hertzog\u2019s mind than using thai liberty.Still, in view of the fact that less than ten years ago, Ireland was openly asserting her independence, in view of the fact that India, a potential dominion, 12 raging now as Ireland then was with swaraf, her word for home rule, meaning thereby secession, this con- cluslort by one with his thumb Johm Bull's pulse revexls a compote tively placid throbbing there.John Bull is used to that sort of thing, and is not easily

down and out, democracy has, in the most compétent populations, gone Russia one better.The ideal of soviet government is that nations should be governed by the trades unions as representing the workers on the plea that they are the real producers\u2014a false plea there, where industrialism, as a power, is less than thirty years old, having been nursed into life by that very progressive statesman, Count Witte.The soviet ts still a very minute part of the population, the peasantry being unorganized.For the trade union to claim rule as representing labor would be false anywhere if that laborious basic and free element of labor did not lead\u2014{free at least in thé new world where there remains no tradition of landlord bondage.In Russia, as all know, it is not the trades union that rules at ali, but political bosses, these ruled in turn by this dictator or that.That la, of course, the very thinnest pretence at democracy.But every.whare it is, as Carlyle says: \u201cThe man who ean,\u201d whe, taote or less obviously, - Tales.: ° e .WHAT then, is to be said when a new labor dispensation has created a new social order of political aociety\u2014the order of the down-and- - out, the cast offs of the standardizing machinery of industry, whose demands for a living wage draw an ever higher line between the ins and the outs, ~\u2014which throws an ever Increasing proportion below it.If there is any distinction to be drawn between the competence of the fits and the misfits, it is presumable, if it is not evident from the facts, that the outs are, on the whole, the least fit, whether to care for themselves or to govern the country.When, in the course of social evolution, production becomes so facile as to exceed demand, this class becomes numerous enough to determine many elections.In its agonising need, it is naturally amenable to the enticements and lures of self-scekers.Here is where all these democratic countries find themselves .It is what they must find how to deal with, Love Your Master AS we have always said with confidence, there 1s certainly some way out of darkness to light, out of bondage to freedom, thqugh we may be still groping for it.It may be a long way round, and through many a quagmire of folly.The best hope in the matter Le that society must now become practically conacjous that its only hope is in uplifting the whole mass, which, ft will have to learn, is not only the nearer kin, but the human race.If that does not change men's hearts toward each other, what will?We are first thrown back upon the old Panacea of democracy, once expressed by Robert Lowe in the British par- Hamént in the words: \u201cEducate your masters.\u201d That seemed a clearer path to the earthly paradise than it does now that the popular press is the great dispenser of knowledge and wisdom and is practically owned by the privileged Interests whose purposes, unconfessed to themselves, are plunder and whose appeals are to men\u2019s lower motives.What hope is left?After all, education can teach man how to be selfish.It needs religion to teach him to be unselfish.Is there any hope from it?Strange that such a question should be open.The Church certainly has, as it always has had, as its mission to bring about the King: dom of Heaven among men.Judged by the supply of churches there is plenty religion.But the trouble is that {t seems to be pretty safely boxed Up in there, On The Watch Tower THE churches have had some shaking up of late.There has been a Food deal of gainsaying with regard to them by people whose parents were - WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, BEPTEMBER 34, 1939.church-gosrs, but who, themselves, are now outside.There Le, too, à good deal of wholesome questioning Inside them \u201cAs to their failure to shape the thinking of what we still know as Christian countries.There have been from age to age great new blasts of spiritual fervor that have moved and changed mankind, each characteristic of its time, impossible in another time.The day, greatly to be longed for, is no doubt, coming, but has hardly come, when democracy will know its own Interests and will not follow every pled piper.Rowland Hill, the great, Popular preacher of a century ago, told how he had seen a man followed by a drove of pigs contending for the beans he kept dropping, while all the while he was leading them to the slaughter house.There was something akin to that in the infatuation of the English voters who voted far dearer living and, as a necessary consequence, dearer production, upon the wild assurance that they would have the empire market secured to them and would all have work In supplying it.Even the beans were only gravel.Canada, led by à similar deception, has left Lord Beaverbrook pretty foolish, The loyalty party of Canada, to whieh Britain always looked for the salvation of the Empire, placed in power, has voted unanimously to kick empire trade overboard, that empire trade which the sordid Melchetts and Beaverbrooks have been declaring to be the absolute and only bond af Empire.Where is Christianity?By Senex.OOKING at the question of Christian Unity as dealt with «4 by the Anglican bishops, one might get the impression that Christianity with them consists In * something they call order, something they call orders, some holy of holies called the Catholic Tradition which they worship as they turn to the East.for their most kindred fellowship.did his fathers before him; that is, in 80 far as he was able, as few of us are yet, to lift his soul above his flocks and herds.We who know so much more than did the ancients of the infinity of creation in which our earth is as the very small dust of the balance, who know, too, the busy life within every invisible atom of that immeasurable universe, which atom It looks as though the groined aisies\u2014 men of yesterday thought to be the of Christlan Rome shut them hopelessly in from the infinite heaven; as though the ponderous and pretentious.framework of the Church had suppressed the dynamite of the \u201cupper room.\u201d The first commandment in the Old Testament is: \u201cThou shalt have no other gods before Me.\u201d He who came to reveal the universal .Father whose approach had been-till then restricted to holy places, sald: \u201cthe hour cometh when ye shall, neither in this mountain nor yet at - Jerusalem, worship the Father\u201d It Was a tremendous sentence, soon to be executed, sn those shrines that \u2018claimed a monopoly of that Father, who was seeking wherever He had children for such as could worship Him in spirit and in reality.How bracing this! how expansive to religion after ita long bondage to pisces and to the traditions of the elders, which in so many ways made of none affect the \u201cclaim af the Father on His children of every name! Wayside Wisdem Séarching further for Christianity, the enquirer, let us say, from Mars, naturslly looks to the churches which throng in our cities as thick as did _ the temples In Athens in Paul's time, and finds us also \u201csomewhat religious.\u201d As he passes by and beholds \u2018our devotions, he finds on the outward wall of a commanding church a show- bill, presumably displaying, after the manner of business men, the wrres within.It reads.\u201cIn any nation which aspires to self-government, the people must respect their own laws.\u201d The wildest rebel against the religion of Jesus can find no fault with that.In à series of years, these wayside sermons appearing here and there, have never broached the notlon that it is in Christ that God is reconciling the world into Himself, in fact have never touched upon Christianity.But, stay, we cannot say they have never pointed higher than this world, for here is one that loses itself and us in the empyrean: \u201cTell me your mood, ye patient stars who climb each night the ancient heaven.\u201d That is going &s far as the Magians of old for a religion; but not far enough.We can imagine either Zarathustra or Abraham, who had neither a newspaper nor spectacles to occupy his evenings, nor electric light to blink the lights of heaven, and who had no Christian revelation, sitting outside his huc door and gazing wonderingly into the peliuctd Persian or Syrian bive, and worshipping after that fashion, as final indivisible fact of nature, have certainly more of God's wonders to adore than those had who thought of the stars, as apparently does the wayside pulpit, as revolving nightly round the world {or man's sake with surely some divine message for him which they fain would unriddle.Human Religion BUT to get down again to the humanized religion of the posters, it represents something absolutely necessary, if men are to live safely in communities.If they will have neither God nor human dictator to rule over them, they must obey the commands of the multitude to which they have as an alternative given their allegiance.There is this also to be sald, If it is the Church that is to bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on earth\u2014and who else is to do that?\u2014It cannot go on leaving civil duty to take care of itself, as being taboo In mixed congregations.\u201cHonor and obey the powers that be,\u201d was pretty much thé whole of civic duty as often enjoined on the first Christians.It is a very different thing today when every citizen is responsible to the utmost of his influence and example for the quality of the said powers.A good deal more courageous paternalism in matters of civic and social duty is needed at the hands of the Church.People, at least, need to know right \u2018from wrong better than they do.\u201cThis ought ye to have done,\u201d but surely not, as so broadly suggested, to leave undone the great work of bringing the soul of man through Christ to God.There is none other name whereby our communities can be saved.It is to be hoped that there is not within doors any tendency to a lke shyness of what is central In Christianity.Ethical Religion \"THERE are those who talk of ethical religion.They borrow the word \u201creligion\u201d from those to whom it means relations with a power beyond themselves.The Positivists, who refuse any belief that cannot be proved, hold that a man\u2019s only demonstrable immortality is in the eternity of the frults of his conduct when alive on earth, whether good or bad.To such religions we must assign the wayside pulpit.To it, some would assign a scripture writer who wrote: \u201cPure religion and undefiled before God and the Father 1 this: To visit the widow and the fatheriess in their af- \u201d fiction, and to keep bimself unspotted from the world\u201d This writer was James, supposed to have been the once unbelieving brother of Jesus.He was fighting vigorously against thas flabby piety, common among excitable peoples, which is intense in sentiment, but loose on human duty.Those who refect the rule of God and of kings need, if society is ta be saved from anarchy, to submit themselves to the multitude to whom they have transferred their allegiance.But where is the salvation of the soul through personal relation with God?Where is He by whom men come to God?Lowly Doors SEEKING further, our searcher stumbles on a glowing cross hung out with the legend \u201cThe Light of the World,\u201d further down the some building, \u201cFor Sale\u201d, arid says to himself: \u201cWhatever religion may be in there, it has at least the primitive credential of having no continuing citadel nor place it can call its own.\u201d on thus hides many vari- colo: lights in simple places emulative of the stable where the light had its birth, where non-conforming people meet who have in the common view the further primitive credential: \u201cnot many wise.\u201d They are free, at all events, from the oppression and burden of a massive structure, or of standardized machinery which has a way of taking for the rank and file the place of the impulse of being charged with a messgge.A song, heard in childhood, told of & good little boy asking, as little boys will, the difficult question: \u201cMother, oh where is that better land?\u201d each verse of which, after glowingly painting some earthly paradise, ended: \u201cNot there, not there, my child\u201d .\u201cEye hath not seen it, my gentle boy.\u201d True Loyalty \"THERE is, in all this study, no disloyalty to the Church.We can all rejoice with each church as i turn, at its annual high festivals, it gives thanks for marked progress in temporal and spiritual things, as well as in anxious aspiration after a higher fulfilment.No more explosive force has arisen within the Church in our day than H.R.L.Sheppard, who wrote: \u201cThe Impatience of a Parson.\u201d Yet no one loves the Church of England, as well as the Church Universal, more than he.Dwight L.Moody was a layman whose evangelistic zeal could not abide the placid attitude of the churches, yet he would exclaim with all the fervor of his ardent nature that if there was a drop of blood in his body that was not loyal to the Church of Christ, he would let it out.The retiring moderator of the United Church of Canada, as reported in his retiring address, sald that, in his travels in all parts of the country, he had been greatly impressed by the anxious desire he found everywhere for a revival of religion; possibly a prophetic sense.It was not due to any lack of present prosperity as measured by visible facts and figures, but to a sense of the great need of something very much more effective.Questionings IT is an age when one everywhere sees the wrecking of old structures, physical and moral, to make way for \u201cmore stately mansions\u201d or for the advancing needs of the time.Does the pressing need of à new dynamic once more demand that worshipped shrines and usages and forms be consigned to the dust heap; or can they retire into history, content with the homage always paid to venerable relics?On the other hand, can modernism find a gospel for simple people whose achievements can be appealed to when asked: \u201cArt thou that which should come or look ve for another?\u201d LPTXMBER 1998.WITNESS AND CARAB.an

speeches on record, Premier R.B.Bennett, on Sept.16 announced to Parliament and the country the changes he proposes, to aid in relieving the present serious unemployment situation in the Dominion.The principal features of the proposals submitted by the Prime Minister during a speech, which wes of only 35 minutes duration are es follows: 1.Belection of what he designated the key industries of the

agricultural industry also receives considerable protection, the general tariff on horses being doubled, that of fresh meats being nearly doubled all tariffs on butter doubled and all tariffs on hops nearly trebled.The general tariff on oats, oatmeal, rye, wheat and wheat flour are doubled and an ad valorem of 78 cents per one hundred pounds upon potatoes also proposed.As to the iron and steel industry, particularly in connection with those commodities that come in from continental Europe, the increases range from 10 to 50 per cent.Increases in the tariffs on agricultural implements range

hear people talk,\u201d said Mr.Mac- Millan, \u201cone would judge that the only country in the world which has unemployment insurance is England, and there it takes the form of charity to men who won't work.That is a most ignorant and unjust view.\u201d Industry must always have a reserve of men available for ment, explained Dr.MaoMtllan, and these should be cared for by an insurance fund.\u201cIt is a most unfortunate thing that this bendlit is being advoonted now when there are so many men out of work,\u201d he continued.\u201cThe time to insure a man is when he is employed, but I suppose nobody would listen if it were advocated then.As a matter of fact there is some form of unemployment insurance in force in every clvillzed country of the world except United States and

Propaganda ve.Propaganda - When Jesus left this earth He left behind Him no Christian writings that had not been in existence at His birth, but He left behind Him His gaspel written «in the hearts and of hundreds of disciples.This number increased into thousands through the witness bearing of the hundreds, with the blessed Influence of Holy Spirit, s0 that they \u201cwent everywhere preaching the gospel\u201d by words of power and conviction.Propaganda has been defined as the sealous spreading of someone's Opinions.There are opinions being spread that age not s0 beneficial as the Christian teaching.We have seen war propaganda, and today we see much antl-temperance propaganda.With a view to counteracting temperance and prohibition education among achoo! children of the world the International Wine Office wiil ahortly publish a pamphlet of not more than 50 pages under the title, \u201cThe Truth About Wine.\u201d It is designed to be distributed in the schools of as many countries as possible.This project is a sequel of a recent incident in the French Chamber of ul when passages in French es ret books which condemned wine drinking and praised the United States prohibition law were severely criticised by Bdouard Barthe, deputy from the Department of Herault, and leader of the wine producers\u2019 group in the Chamber.His attack drew a promise from Plerre Marraud, Minister of Public Instruction, that the textbooks would be revised in the in- tereats of the wire industry.The issuing of the propaganda booklet for school children is only one phase of a vigorous campaign which is being organized with the view to Increasing wine corsumption in France and abroad, in.order to improve the conditions of the French wine market, which Ls now in a bed atate due to overproduction both in France and Algeria, and to tariff and other barriers raised against French wives by cumerous countries.Wine growers and dealers are making a determined effort to persuade restaurants and hotels to-retutn to Mé pre-war practice of including wine with sll fixed price meals, The International Wine .Office which has its headquarters in Paris is intimately connected with the International League against Prohibition organised in Brussels in 1923.This shows us how necessary our educational work is in our schools, since even there we have to combat attractively presented wei propaganda.The question has been asked: Is not the result of the poll taken by the Literary Digest most discouraging?Do you judge that as intentional wet propaganda?The Literary Digest poll may have been impartial in intention.Let us give them the benefit of the doubt There are 60 million voters in the USA.Ballots were sent to only one- third of these, and of these less than one-quarter took the trouble to return the ballot.Less than five mil- lons out of 60 millions voted and of these only 1,943,052 voted for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.Less than 2 millions out of 60 million voters of the country cast a vote for Tepeai.Less than 2 millions Of the twenty millions of ballots sent out werë returned for repeal \u2014just about Lat the votes cast were wet out- It looks as If Henry Ford's figures were right, that 1-10 of the States are wet in sentiment.The Christian Century comments on this vote in the following words: \u201cThe alleged excitement over the prohibition situation ls, apart from a few centres, à fictitious excitement worked up by the wet press, and magnified by persistent pubucity.\u201d The wet press is constantly declsr- ing that Prohibition is a tyrannical law interfering with personal rights.I believe that we have a right to regarti private referendums on public questions as a real menace, for the following reasons which I read in the Union Signal, from the pen of & noted Profestor of Sociology.The taking of nation wide polls under private aus- ploss may be a menace to democratic government for the following reasons: First.\u2014Such

\u201cProfessor Irving Fisher In his latest book, The Noble Experiment, finds that already the financial gains to the working man are so great that not a single economist In the USA.will dispute that fact.\u201d The difference that Prohibition made In one industrial centre is concretely illustrated by this fact.\u201cIn one town in Northern New York there used to be two saloons on the corner opposite a large factory, there are now no saloors, but instead there are one hundred automoblles parked in those corner lots.\u201d Let each one of us start to save prohibition facts for reference in

returned to England, married Eleanor, daughter of William Pordin.He might easily have rested on his laurels, but again came the insistent call of the Arctie.The admiralty wished to make further explorations in the extreme north of British America, and Franklin volunteered.This expedition also achieved valuable geographical and scientific results and further demonstrated Franklin's remarkable faculty of evoking the enthusiasm and loyalty of his fellow officers and the mem under his command.During his absence on this voyage, his wife died.Some years afterwards he married again.In 1830, he was in the Levant, and six years afterwards was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Iand (now Tasmania).During his term of office James Ross with the \u201cErebus\u201d and

militarism of the war lords, for China is essentially peace loving, and the soldier takes but a low place in the scale of values.Nor is it to be found in the aggressive patriotism of her young students, for her love is for the quiet things, the paths of reflection and reason.In the preface to her book.\u201cThe Very Heart of China,\u201d (Carey Press, 2s.6d.), Mrs.Payne suggests that the temple lies very nearly at the heart of China, and that is certainly true; out in her records in this book she leads us to other places where it may be found\u2014\"Away from the railways,\u201d in the myriad remote villages where the common people of that great land strive with an inexhaustible patience and tireless industry to wring their bread from the hands of adversity, and to live that life of peace and family love and gentleness of spirit which has been the ideal of their teachers for uncounted ages.There, far from Nanking and Peking and Canton, the immemorial people dwell, living the life of their fathers with their fathers\u2019 watchwords, and ready with the courtesy of their race to pause a moment to hear of a new teacher and a new Way of Life.And of this willingness to listen there are beautiful stories in this book.At a Fair to wbich the missionaries had gone: \u201cWe kept open house during the fair.Plenty of tea was on hand, and the people, weary of trudging the crowded, dusty lanes of the fair in the brilliant May sunshine and dry, sparkling air, would troop in to the cool, dim rooms to rest.And we went to make friends with them.I would ask them if they had been to the temple, which reared its grey, weathered walls and bell-shaped roofs on the very summit of the nearest hill.\u201c\u2018Oh, yes, we have been there; to ask for all at home good harvests and good health in the year to come.What sort of religion is it that you believe in?\u201cI tried to explain as they courteously listened.How much they understood I could not guess.And what was I to tell, which vital part could be of service of these strangers from far away, who might never learn more of Him?\u201cThey would rise in a group, after a good rest, and, smiling, bow to me.\u201cYou will understand,\u2019 they explained gently, \u2018that we are not educated people, and we are unable to judge which religion is right.Our ancestors taught us to go to the temple.You say God is everywhere, and that we can speak to Him informally as to our own parents.Who are we, to understand these things?However, next year we Will retum, and you must teach us more.\u201d Even so brief an extract will suffice not only to show the character of these Chinese women, but the spirit of the woman who went out to them and now tells us about them.Mrs.Payne was twenty years in China, and her husband is still there, one of the most valued workers on our staff \u2014 Baptist Missionary Herald.WORLD'S 8.8.CONVENTION Preliminary plans are now under way for the Eleventh World's Sunday School Convention to be held in Rio de Janeiro during the summer of 1932.Much interest is being manifested in this Convention on the part of religious education workers throughout Canada and the United States.This is the first time the World's Sunday School Convention has ever been scheduled to meet south of the equator, and the first time the Sunday Bchool workers of North America have ever been Invited to visit South America.It is also the first time a world gathering of Christians has ever been called to meet in South America.» Following historic precedent the fnitial conference to lay the ground work for the Convention was called to meet in the private office and dining- room of the late John Wanamaker in his store in Philadelphia.Probably more World Sunday School Conventions have been set up in Philadelphia than in any other city on the globe.Through the courtesy of Mr.William 1.Nevin, these private rooms of Mr.Wanamaker were opened for this occasion, the first time they had been used since the death of Mr.Wanamaker in 1832.An earnest group of twenty-five men chiefly from Phila- delphis and New York City attended the meeting and gave enthusiastic attention in this hallowed spot to the consideration of plans to make this Convention à success.L.W.Simms of St.John, N.B, has accepted the chairmanship of the general committee for the 1932 Tonvention.The Present Opportunity It Le most gratifying to note the increasing interest throughout North America in the world outreach of religious education.The number of laymen is increasing whose time and thought and money are devoted to the ongoing of this couse.Such laymen have always been the chief source of strength for the work of the World's Sunday School Association.In addition, the constituent bodies of the International Council of Religious Education, including the denominational avencies and state and provincial councils of religious education, are Increasingly concerned with the development of this work around the world.The time seems ripe for the World's Sunday School Association as now reorganised to become a federation of national and international, inter-denominational organisations concerned with the work of the Sunday School and religious education today throughout the world.It is shared alike by missionaries and natlon- als in all denominations in all lands, It may be attributed to the work of no single agency or organization.It seems rather to have came in the fulness of time and under the leadership of the pirit of God.Here lies the opportunity of the church today, The agencies of the church are revising their programs and directing their leaders to take larger advantage of this situation.A FRENCH EFFORT As in London and Berlin, ao in Paris, the problem of the churches ts itself in a new form, namely, the evangelization of the suburb.Our contemporary, Le Christianisme au XXe Siecle, describes an effort in this direction made in the vast area of .Drancy, Bobigny, Le Bourget and Dugny, a district with a growing population, mainly composed of the lower middle-class.Most of the resl- dents are distinctly \u201cleft\u201d in polities, but thelr religion ls non-existent.and their mode of life entirely secular.Spiritually, it is a great, uncuitivated territory.An attempt has been made recently to reach the Protestants in this neglected area.A minister was stationed there, and within à few months twenty-four Protestant families had been located\u2014a small beginning with the promise of almost unlimited growth.The extension work is being pushed forward as rapidly as time will allow.The Roman Catholics have set the example.God\u2019s Emigrants Sermon by Rev.William T.Gunn, United Church, Delivercd at the Opening of the of the United Church of Canada, Wednesday, D.D, Retiring Moderator of the Fourth General Council September 17, in St.Andrew's Church, London, Ont.\u201cNow the Lord said unto Abram, get thee _ thy kindred, and from thy father\u2019s house, thee: \u201cAnd ! will make of thee a great nation, and I will make thy name great, and thou shalt be \u201cAnd I will bless them that bless thee, out of thy country, and frem unte a land that I will shew bless thee, and a blessing: and curse him that carseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.\u201d\u2014Genesis 12:1-8.UR Dominion of Canads is s0 Oz a country and a0 la\u2018ely settled, that there are few of us ° who do not know what it is to be an emigrant either in our own experience or that of our forefathers, whose story has been handed down to us, and, whether our homeland be England or Scotland, Ireland or Wales, or one of the other great homelands of our people, we are all God's emigrants who have heard His call to to th's great and w.despread Dominion.We pray, too.that the promise made to Abram, \u201cthe first great emigrant,\u201d as Henry Ward Beecher calied him.may be fulfilled in us here and that God will make of us a great nation, blessing us and making us a blessing to His whole great world.In the life of an emigrant, there are four great and easily recognizable stages\u2014the Call to Emigrate.the Pain of Parting, the Walking by Faith and, at long last, the Entry into the Promised Land.The Call of Emigrate Gorse call to His children to emigrate comes to us in many ways and to Ly things.We are like an island the middle of the ocean of the love and knowledge and wisdom of God.Whichever way we are called from our little island and however we differ in the direction in which we go, We are all being led of God out into His ocean fullness.The call may be the voice of God heard In the quiet of our own heart.It may be in the form of a letter coming back home from those who have gone before: It may be the call in a little lad'a heart to see where the clouds go over the mountain, or where the road ends that circles around the hill, or what les beyond the line where sea and sky meet.The call may be also to many things\u2014to preach the gospel.to pioneer God's new lands! to search out the riches of the thought of God, or to explore the treasures of the everlasting hills.With our distinction between sacred and secular, we have unduly limited the call of God.\u201cGo plant corn!\" may be as truly a call of God to the man to whom Ît is sent as \u201cGo preach Christ!\u201d is to another man to whom is committed the ministry of the gospel.It is for each of us to sse that we hear and obey our own call.The Pain of Parting remember the pictures that have come down to us of those who s:00d by the bulwarks of the vessel and saw the h.ls and cliffs and the green sod of the homeland fade away behind them, while on the shore were those who, through a veil of tears, watched until they saw the last flicker of Light on the white sails disappear in the western sea.It could have been no easier for Abram to leave behind \u201ckith and kin\u201d in the far away Ur of the Chaldees.Journeys were long and difficult in those days and the aeparat'on would seem to be almost forever.But to this pain of parting there is often, for God's em'gran's.as there may have been for Abram, an added pain of parting in that those who remain behind do not always believe either in the divine call or in the vision of the Promised Land ahead.They may have called him \u201ccrazy\u201d to think of leaving the fertile, irrigated plains in which they dwelt for a long desert and an unknown land ahead.Optos'tion and lack of fai\u2018h have often added to the bitterness of the parting of God's emigrants as they prepared for thelr journey.Walking by Faith Fer the emigrant, there always comes a time, be it Jong or short, when he has to walk by falth\u2014the old home vanished in the d's\u2018ance and the Promised Land ahead not yet risen in sight.There must have been many a weary day for Abram as he turned north west over the desert, and it may be that some, even In his own little group, would grow impatient and question whether it were not better to turn homeward again.Our emigration is, sometimes, as it fi ix and th's law of the emigrant is life, leading us all the way.our child by the hand and lead him to the Primary Class, forcing him to emigrate from the sheltered land of home Into the land of school.soon as the boy has successfully mastered the primary lessons and feels at home, he is called to a higher class to go through the process again \u201cand again.After school classes comes business.After working for others comes the management of his own business.Then comes the bome life, with the bringing up of the children, then the heavier resvonsibilities of ater years.and.by and by, comes the call to enter through the narrow door into the life eternal.In heaven.to, there may be the GF of progress.Horace Bushnell, in one of h's great sermons, pictures the magnificence of this physical universe and asks how it can ba possible for the Son of God to give Himself to the tiny inhabitants of one of the smallest of the stars of heaven, but he answers his own question by picturing a life developing in the Likeness of God through the three score years and ten on this earth and then going on Into larger life from world to world and from revelation to revelation of the thought and power and love of God for a thousand years and ten thousand years after that.For such a life, he says, it was worth while for even the Son of God to die.With Paul, by the grace of God, we press toward the mark for the prise of the upwards calling of God in Christ Jesus.This law of God's emi.grants\u2014the soul of man ever looking toward a greater and expanding life\u2014 is based in the very nature of things.Given a God of infinite knowledge, love and willingness to teach, and, on the other hand, the children of God (Continued on page 11) The Publishing Game The publishers of The Witness, World Wide and Northern Messenger turned work into absorbing play.Each of the papers opens

Hollyhock ladied in silky robes of crimson, rose, pale pink, yellow, and white, with soft green shoulder capes.Their heads were green grapes, upon which features were marked with a pin.; Dorothy had worked hard to get everything ready, and was tired.Leaning against the old apple tree root, she closed her eyes for a moment.Suddenly, however, she opened them In surprise, for Mrs.Crimson was ying: \u201cMadame Blanche, do take some of this delicious strawberry cream.\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d drawled Madame Blanche peevishly; \u201cyou know I don\u2019t like strawberry cream!

The Silo and the Drought By W.G.Kaiser.= i i i ef hit BRE § H à la § of fooled the drought, or maybe our silos did it for us,\u201d and he pointed to two big concrete silos standing beside Jim's voice really bespoke respect for his silos, and he gave them all the* credit for bringing his cows through summer without a noticeable loss in milk production.He gave himself little credit for being that type of intelligent farmer whose forethought comes to the rescue in crises.I knew, however, that it was his good judgment that deserved the major portion of the praise.Jim, like every other farmer in the drought area, had found his pasture drying up before the middle of the summer.He hoped for rain, but none came.Others started to ship in hay and hay was scarce, but Jim just fed from his silos and his cows thrived and continued to give as much milk as ever.\u201cHow about this winter?Can you fill your silos again?\u201d \u201cWhen I sald the corn crop was & total loss, I guess I was exaggerating.Fact is, It can all be used for silage.It will give me plenty for the winter and enough for next summer,\u201d he said.JUST by talking to Jim it is easy to see why 60 many farm agencies have been recommending the buliding of ailos.The other day the county agents of Maryland, in a joint meeting, recommended the immediate construction of silos by all farmers who didn\u2019t have them and urged all who did to see that they were filled.At the same time officials of the department of agriculture, during the drought per- jod, were urging the construction of silos.With the drought broken, they are still asking farmers to put up alos.After all, feeding fromg the silo is the practical way to meet the varying conditions during winter and summer.When snow covers the ground in win- sensitive cows are to change in the feed.Even a slight variation may result in \u2018a decrease in milk production and, consequently, in lessened An unusually dry summer or severe winter will not worry the farmer who has prepared silage for year round _ feeding.He can feed it regularly or intermittently.T have been talking from the stand- paint of meeting summer drought and winter feed problems with silage.Jim's case, of course, put that foremost in my mind, but there is another, and probably more important angle to sie, that 1s the angle of increased profits.It is no mere theory

commenced its three weeks\u2019 tour of the province, at Coati- cook and Compton.The specialists in charge of the soil analysis car, tested, free of charge, 650 samples of soil brought in by the farmers.This far exceeded the expectations of the officials in charge of the train, and the anticipation is that if this record keeps up, more than 10,000 farmers will be served in the 38 stops to be train is being operated to im- the farmers the urgent careful and constant attention to soil fertility.In addition to the soil analysis car, there are two exhibit cars, featuring exhibits and demonstrations on the use and value of lime and fertilisers, and there ls also à lecture car for mass meetings.The staff of the train consists of ten specialists in agriculture representing the Quebec Department of Agriculture, the Federal Department of Agriculture, the Experimental Farm and Agricultural College in the Province ard the Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways.The feature of the first day's activities of the train in addition to the record attendance, was the eagerness of the farmers for interma- tion.The officials were flooded with .questions during the entire day, and hundreds of valaable bulletins on soll fertility and general farm practices were given out.Special inaugural ceremonies for the train were held at Compton when Hon.J.E.Ouellette, minister without portfolio in the Quebec Government, who represented Hon.J.L.Perron, minister of agriculture, and Dr.W.J.Black, director of agriculture and colonization for the Canadian National, were the leading speakers.The first week the train was in the Sherbrooke district, and during the present week is in the Victoriaville and Plessisvillé's section.Further News Nearly 3000 farmers were served by the soil improvement train in Quebec during the first week of its cperation, according to reports from the train which reached Plessisville over the week-end.This train, being operated jointly by the Quebec Dept.of Agriculture and the Canadian National Railways, commenced a three weeks\u2019 tour of the provinoe on Monday, Sept.15 at Coaticook.The first week ft visited Coaticook, Compton, Iennox-

it.It is a matter of getting hold of the correct answer\u2014 often a question of more time than you realise.It would facilitate matters if in asking a ques\u2018ion you would give full details.A leaf or twig withered in the mail would be more quickly identified if you were to give a description of the plant, whether annual or perennial, habit of growth color and shape of flower, etc.This would also help where questions are asked in regard to plants described by bucket, would it do in a big flower pot?Please tell me just what to do with it as it is a beautiful flowered one.\u2014Mrs.J.Amaryllis will not bloom if planted in too large pots.Repot in as small a pot as possible not use a larger one until actually broken by the growing roots.S:mply scoop à little of the soil care- fuily out of the pot each year and replace it with a rich mixture of loam, well rotted cow manure and bonemeal.It may be that your bulb has not been properly rested.After the flowers pass, the leaves make a rapid growth.During that time you should take good care of the plants, for proper and full development of the leaves determ'nes the bloom for the following year.Gradually withhold water when the leaves become yellow.Let it have little water during the early winter and keep it in a cool dark place such as cellar or basment.Repot your bulb now in a small pot, (six inch) a heavy soil well enriched wth cow manure and bone meal.Set the bulb quite out of the soil and keep it :n a cool shaded place until growth starts.The first c'gn of growth will be the flower stem and when this shows it must have bu\u201c little water until several inches Lall.Brinz it into the Light or the leaves will develop and be malformed.Give a little liquid manure every week after the stem starts {0

force.them into flower sooner.How should they be treated from now on.I not only enjoy but have profited by your answer to other readers so have come with my own problem for advice \u2014Jane, L.S.Never let your primroses become pot bound, but keep them growing adding a very little well rotted manure and bone meal to the soil, a little richer at each repotting.When flower buds begin to show put them into their flowering pots at once.Make the soit for this repotting rich, for the period of bloom is long.If there is yellowing of the follage, and an apparent weakening of the plant during the blooming season it may be overcome by frequent applications of weak liquid manure.The crown of the plant should not be placed too deeply In the soil or It will decay, nor too high or the plant will topple over.When first transplanted keep primroses shaded and in a temperature of about 70 degrees.Later give plenty of air end full sunlight, and never allow them to become dry.Writing on Labels of Wood or Zine Dear 8ir:\u2014Can you give me simple dire\u2018t'ons for writing on sinc and wooden labels that will not fade out when they weather?\u2014W.P.T.The usual instructions for zinc labels 1s to make the surface very smooth, then write on it with speclal ink or ordinary ink in which copper sulphate has been dissolved, but if you expose the labels to the weather, until they are slightly oxidized or Immerse them in brine for a few days to get the same result, you can then write on them with a common lead pencil and the writing will remain for years.For the wooden labdls, use red, yellow, or orange wax crayon such a8 school children use.This will show up all the better as the label becomes westher-beaten.HYBRID PERPETUAL AND HYBRID TEAS Dear 8ir,\u2014What is the difference

fewer hens will pay way and also earn a profit than more prosperous times.Cull hens are frequent visitors at the feed hopper, and the poultryman who markets these loafers as they begin to molt or who culls his flock closely and systematically, stands a better chance of making a profit from his flock, say poultry specialists of the U.-8.Department of Agriculture.The time of molt is an indication of the ability to lay eggs.Hens that molt before September are usually low producers.Those that do not molt until late in September or October are usually high producers.Hens that molt as late as October or November produce nearly 100 per cent more winter eggs and 50 per oent more eggs for the entire year, than hens that molt in July.The poultry- man who observes the molt as a guide to culling may turn a liability into an asset by marketing or eating the early molters as they show signs of going off production.These surplus hens may be marketed over a longer per- lod and will usually bring more money than if all the cull hers are sold late in the fall.Fiocks that make the best profits for their owners consist of hens from good breeding stock that has been selected for late molting.Elimination of early molters, therefore, is a method of retaining the best hens for next year's breeding flock.Care and management also affect the time of molting.Anything that stops egg production, such as moving the flock from one house to another, or improper feeding, tends to bring c:1 tne molt.A constant supply of mash, scratch and green feed, and clean quarters, fresh water, and shade help to keep the flock in good condition.Another method of culling the poor layers is to note the physical condition of the birds.A good layer is vigorous in midsummer and has a plump bright comb which appears to be full of blood and is wsxy and soft là texture.The wattles aad comb of a poor layer at this time of year are shrunken and comparatively hard and have a pale or dull color.The color of the legs and beak of a good layer is bleached or faded, whereas both the legs and beak of a hen that has stopped laying begin to show a rich yellow color.In a good layer the pubic bones, which are on each alde of the vert, are flexible in any season, but in a poor producer they are thick and rigid.The use of one or both of these methods of culllng the flock helps to reduce the feed cost and makes little, Many, difference in the egg produc- n.Waste of By-Products FACE year the potential value of thousands of tons of poultry manure and by-product eggs from the hatchery is lost to the industry because of failure to utilise effectively or render them into merchantable form.Why such losses?Is it because the industry has et to reach the age of thrift, or is it because of fallure to realise the extent of loss involved in these products?According to D.C.Kenrard, In charge of noultrv investigations at the Ohin Fxnerimenta] Station, each year \"1 to 28 lbs.of poulirv manure can be obtained from each layer from Ibs.of potash, making its value from $5 to $8.When air dry, it contains about 40 lbs.of nitrogen, 40 Ibs, of phosphoric acid, and 30 Ibs.of potash, and has a fertiliser value of $10 to $13.Poultry manure has the \"highest fertilising value of any of the farm manures.When dried sheep manure retails at $3 a hundred pounds, what price would poultry ma- cure command if similarly rendered into merchantable form?Once the fertilizing value of poultry manure is generally realised, poultrymen should find no difficulty In having peat, straw, or agricultural slag furnished gratis by fruit and truck growers for the privilege of securing these products after they pass through the laying and brooder houses.Likewise, many poultry keepers will no doubt be able to realise cash returns for this product.: Great quantities of by-product eggs from the incubators are now wasted.If meat scraps, fish meal, and the ofl meals command $50 to $80 a ton for their feed value, and dried skimmilk or buttermilk $100 to $150 a ton, what would dried incubator eggs com mand if properly rendered into merchantable form so as to conserve their valuable protein, mineral, and vitamin properties?The answer to this and similar questions pertaining to effective utilization of poultry byproducts will come through research eNorts and results.Can the poultry industry longer afford to be without answers to these imiportant questions?\u2014 Weekly Press Bulletin Ohio Experiment Station.\u2014 \u201cHigh Egg Yields esse are several interesting things to be observed in the Way of differences between high and low egg records.One of the most import- an: points of difference is rate of laying or the length of time à hen rests between eggs.Some hens are able to lay only every third day or every other day, while other hens in the flock are capable of aying two, three, four, or more eggs in as many days betore skipping a day.= If a hen lays every other day for four weeks she will obviously produce only fourteen eggs in that time.If she lays two eggs and then rests one day before la; \u2018ng the next, and repeats for a total of twenty-eight days, her record will be nineteen eggs in four weeks, or an increase of nearly 36 per cent over that of the first hen.Another hen may lay three eggs before skipping a day which is at the rate of twenty-one eggs every four weeks.If oontinued for a year this would mean a total of 273 eggs, a really worth while record From a breeding standpoint the poultryman is, of course, always on the lookout for the exceptional hen tnat can lay twenty-five or more eggs in four weeks.The hen that can do this repeatedly is likely to be a valuable breeder.Unless she ii free from the broody tendency a hen is not likely to give this sort of performance for many months in succession.Only once In a great while is a hen able to lay as many as 75 to 100 eggs in succession with no skips, but it 1s this sort of laying together with the ability to keep it up for à perlod of twelve months that gives an opportunity for a hen t join the ranks of \u201che 300- eggers.The Situation The past week on Canadian markets has been featured by two 4p three weeks later than normal and prices, on the average, are still fully eight cents, on an average, below last year's levels.The price, advances reported this week have been fairly general over Toronto, the situation is very firm with values, more particularly on the higher grades, higher than a week ago.Montreal has reflected this strength to a greater extent than Toronto and values at the Quebec metropolis are considerably above those in the Ontario city.Of the remaining markets Winnipeg and Vancouver have shown the most strength.Advances have not been 20 common in Baskatchewan and Alberta a condition which probably is due to the fact that the recent closing of grading stations at country points has resulted in a greater concentration of eggs at the larger centres.The Maritime markets, which a few we\\ks ago were showing more strength than the Yest of the country, appear rather full at the present time.There is, however, an increasing scarcity of fresh eggs ih the country, a condition which is reflected in the reduced carlot movement and the steadily advancing prices for carlots of eggs.In view of the growing price svread between Seconds and the higher grades it 13 clearly in the interests of all handling eggs, particularly at country points, to see to it that all possible care Is taken to market \u20ac quality product.The difference in price between the grades may often represent the difference between profit and loss In egg transactions.With th's In mind, and with the prevailing tool weather making the maintenance of auality a fairly simple matter it is difficult to substantiate the large volume of Seconds The outward movement of storage eges 1s getting under way at Montreal.Toronto will probably be using stordge eggs shortly and at some western points there has been a limited movement of this class.It seems probable that within another week or ten days the sale of storage eggs will be fairly general over the entire country.The preva'ling low prices of eggs Is a factor which must be taken into consideration in the outward storage movement.Selling prices of storage eggs are opening at Montreal this year at a bas's of 40 cents for Extras, 38 cents for Firsts and 30 for Seconds.Last year at this time storage eggs were selling at Montreal af two cents above these figures.but fresh eggs, on the other hand, were from six to ten cents higher than they are at present.Whether the public will take freely to storage eggs at the comparatively narrow spread between this class and fresh eggs remains to be seen.It is more reasondble to expect that fresh eggs will undergo some further very substantial advances within the very near future, a condition which will, of course, react to the benefit of the fresh egg producers.While prices in Canada are ruling substantially below last year it ls Interesting to note that producers in this country are in a much better condition than in a number of other 85815 di i Fas fie TE 5 ic jie: Re 1
