upon-ts are reaching us of dis- .u,.iom on the union of the zhurchel which took place in the rgoent, meeting in India of the Exgguuve of the World Council of Q-iurches. Representatives of the V churches protested im-gmgt delay in brrinsins 3110 churches together and when they found that the process could not

be hastened among this older mmchu, they exclaimed: "Don't neon us back."

They object to the insistence of -M parent churches who sent the mimionaries on maintaining the old divisions between their own spiritual children. In the face of dominant paganism they feel the urgent necessity of union of all the Christian forces in their lands ,n order that Christ may be made known to all their people.

Their impatience with our west- rrn conservatism and the speed

with which church unions are being consummated in countries mm India, underline Christ's

nniyer for His followers on the W, M Calvnryv-"I do not pray for tire.-n only. but also for those Who are .to believe in Me through their Word, that they may all be one: tvwln as Thou, Father. art in Me and I in Thee, that they also may no one in us. so that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Mo." -inhn l7:20-21.) .

In the following verses He re- pquia twice the same plea for the same object, To Jesus the win- nlng of the world to faith was to be brought about by the union of His people. In view of Christ's prayer our present divisions seem like something worse than dis- obedience to His revealed will.

Jesus and His law of love are the world issue of today. There 1: no otvlier that compares with it in importance. We speak of the world being divided into two camps in sharp opposition to each

other. Communist principles and methods cannot but kindle anili- onism between their system and Christianity. Questions such as these persist-Is the common man to be exalted or suppressed? Is he to be self-governing or crushed into submission?

Is he to have that freedom of thought, speech and action which is necessary for the full develop- ment of his powers, or must he accept an authority imposed on him by force? Free peoples fall far below their ideals in many ways, but they do stand for the rights of the individual, and for the development of his posibl1i- ties, and they do provide oppor- tunity for the utmost that he can

enable the church to carry out her commission to exalt Christ as the saviour and Sovereign Lord of all and for the extension of His law of love as far as her influence can rcach,

l, Look at what Christ stands for in 'manls dealings with man:-Love, goodwill, merry, pitv. healing. reconciliation the brotherhood of men under the God, These were not mere theor- ies with Him. He em-bodied them in action at every turn or His ministry, and those who follow Him put them into effect wher- ever opportunity offers. As write, the radio and newspapers are describing the exchange of sick

and wounded prisoners in Korea; even the advocates of violence pay unwilling tribute to the

Christian ideal of mercy.

Communism is not the olily foe of Christianity. Secularism and paganism are still enemies of spiritual religion. our concern is that it is in the presence of these world forces that Christians maln- taln their divisions with the lam of power that they entail. There are foregleams of the sun-

tory.” The author rejoices over the Ecumencial event as "the ml!"-We of Tm-nfisumtlon. Incl

the Transfiguration of our Lord should be its feast day," Now this is a forward move of

the first importane. when we read accounts from Geneva or what the World Council of

Churches has been able to do for refugees, for sister chm-om; 8lJlPDed and broken by war, and for humanitarian causes too many to mention we thank God for what has been done by the uniting of Christian forces in interests which tihey have in common.

But our writer is careful to point out that the Ecumenical movement is "unity without uriion;” its work is based on the Independence of the churches which constitute the World Council. No doubt, the 00'0De.1'atlon is bringing the churches closer together, but while they are resolved to "stay to. getlhs" in this joint enterprise, they are equally resolved to stay apart in their inner life.

. . .

on the central truths of our relleion the ch-uches are agreed. The unity of God. the Incarnation of the Son of God, His life. death and resurrection for our salvation, the gift of His Holy &)l.rit as I. presence and power in the church and in the lives of her members are the chief elements in every church's faith. 'Ilheir love and de- votlom to their living Lord are un- bounded, and men and women by the thousand in every church are giving their lives to Christ and His cause with an abandon as com- plete as it can be made by the human will in its union with God's will.

In other words. all agree on the grace of God, but differ about the means and measures by which that grace is communicated to men. Further. we cannot close our eyes to the met that secondary issues are being used by minorities in all the churches to keep them apart, Now the very fact of our divisions weakens our testimony. Not only so, but they divert the churches resources from fruitful into fruitless fields.

For example. in Canada there are wide areas on the frontier; and mowing suburbs around our cities in which no church is at work, while in many small places compet- ing causes are kept up by mislon funds when they can only divide the religious forces iii the com- munity. Nevertheless. the tide of conviction that the union of His people is the will of Christ is ris- ing steadily and will soon sweep aside all obstacles end make the church one as the Father and Son life OWIE.

Strange But True

By 1'. II. MacArthur

when an animal is sick it effects its own cure: It knows what grasses and herbs to eat, what to avoid, while the ailing human calls the doctor, whose wisdom is not only the result of yours of study, but also heredity.

There is one vice unknown to the North American Indian. He was born without it, and among all the deplorable things he has learnt from the white man, this. at least, he has never acquired. That is the vice of avarice. The Indian views greed of gain. miser- llnesa, svariciousness, and wealth accumulated above the head of his have-not neighbor as one of the lowest degradations he can fall into. Indeed all red races are born socialists, and most tribes camY out their communistic ideas to the letter. Among the Iroquois it is considered disgraceful to have food if your neighbor has none. To be a creditable member of the nation you must divide your possessions with your less fortun- ate fellows. Think of itl How many Islanders are aware that the late Prince Arthur, Duke of Con-naught, and son of Queen Victoria and a former governor- general of Canada, was the only white man ever to hold undisput- ed right to the title of "Chief of the six Nations Indians." (Known collectively as the Iroquois). He enjoyed the privilege of attending their councils, of casting his vote on all matters relative to the government of the tribes. the dis- posal of reservation holdings, the appropriation of both the principal and interest of the more than baa million dollars these tribes held in government bonds at Ottawa. gleaned from the sale of their land.

. . .

It was during his first visit to Canada in 1869, when he was lit- tle more than a boy that Prince Arthur received, upon his visit to Quebec. an address of welcome from his royal mother's ”Ir.i.dian Children" on the Grand River Re- serve, in Brant County, Ontario. It was on that occasion that he received the loftlest honors the Indians could confer upon a white man.

The unique ceremony tool: place. near the "Old Mohawk Church" with the head chief riding a black pony beside the royal carriage. The chief was attired in full na- tive costume. when the party had reached the church the Prince left his carriage and in a moment was surrounded by some 300 full- biooded Iroquois braves.

Every one of them were war- paint. and feathers, all on-ried tdmahawks and scalping knives. and bows and arrows. A moment more and the calm of the October morning was broken by the tra- ditional war-whoop. No wonder the white boy's face took on an ashy whiteness, then with true Brit- ish courage Prince Arthur extend- ed his right hand, took one step forward and shook the hand of each warrior as he passed in parade Then came on the scene an old Chief, the speaker of the Council. Taking Arthur by the hand, the chief began chanting the strange,

wild formula of induction. He was

I. A. Gillies,

The following historical sketch on co-operative organisation deve- iopment in rural Prince Edward Island, is being presented in a series of eighteen chapters, to the end ehat memories of the past may be revived among those who. perchance, are becoming dulled by virtue of the passing of the years, and to the younger and succeeding generations, in the hope that they may find en-joyment in perusing 9. portrayal of other days and hap- penings, and know something of what was involved at tlhe ”be- ginning" of the co-operative move- ment, and the highlights occurring in subsequent years.

The story, as related, is nm based on tabulated data, but rather as- sembled from fragments and rem- nants of memory and uncovered instances that are still visible to the responsive eye. For any om- nilmion of worthy occurrence or other inadequacies, the autlior tenders profuse expression of re- gret as atonement, with amurnnce the default was nleitfher premedlat- ed nor intentional. Individual re- ference to the outstanding, except- ing in mass formation, has been studiously eschenived, last leading to encouragement of odious com- parisons; but the chronology of events as offered, is most sincerely and respectfully dedicated to the memory of the late Wilfred J. Boulter and the late George Leightizer, from whom the author received much inspiration and guidance during his early par- tlclpntlon in co-operative activities.

. . .

Prince Edward Island was pro- bably tlic first Province in Canada to recognize in a practical way the economic advantages attainable. were the principles of co-operative effort applied to agricultural activities, This Province pretty well pioneered the movement, especially in the Maritimes, where it now maintains a leading roll in business adventure. It was way back more than a half century ago: the pos- sibilities of the movement attracted wide attention and impressed certain communities Wliilll its poten- tials to a point where concrete ac- tion took form and gradually there- after expanded as A feature in practical farm life.

Many years before the awaken- lnc. co-operative principles under different auspices. were recognized as a natural instinct in human re- lationship, at least as between in- dividuals and groups. on a volun- tary basis with mutual aid the underlying objective. It was found- ed on the rather obvious concept that two or more persons work- ing separately on similar projects could make greater progress and accomplish more, were they to pool their energies and work as a unit.

This seemed particularly true with respect to operations in- dividually impracticable and from such reasoning expanded the idea, it it were advisable to merge the activities of individiials in smaller factors to clbtaln results, how much more so on more profound features on a community basis. Such was the early commencement of the present day Canada-wide co-opera- tlve movnment, in all its gigantic proportions .

. . .

Preceding these distant days of the past. memory of which has escaped most of those now in cir- culation. when the little farm was practically the sole source of rural livelihood; when the work of to- day's plow was challenged by the spade of yesterday, that of the cultivator by a hoe and a drag, the seed drill by a human hand and an arm swing, the combine by a sickle. flail and the wind, the digger by a three-tine scoop that succeeded a clawing by hand as an innovation, the tractor bya.t.wo- horn ex-bull or a baldy bovine. etc., there was little of the coin or the realm in circulation; any surplus homestead production was disposed of by means of exchange as between neigilrbors whose pro- duction differed, or by barter with traders who pcritxlically invaded

Under such circumstances labor was irwolved in exchanges, as were other commodities; and thus was sown the seed of mutual aid and advantage, the spirit of which has been perpetuated down through the years and from which has emergedl the foundations upon which are being built present day 00-Operative institutions.

Do not let any person run avmy with the idea that the philosophies upon which modern co-operatives are founded, are of recent origin or applicati ; they are as ancient as civillzat on and human ex- perience, and reproduction in these latter years is but the reintroduc- tion of a streamlined replica of that which has proved enduring, a carry-over from predecessors of an earlier era.

The earlier exploits into co-

operative marketing ventures were

not always encouraging or marked; with tangible sueess, They were in! the main ambitious, but not always: precrded by that cautiotusnacs as,' how best to encounter unanticl-pat-l ed obstacles that might make 01” break the sucess of the missionf The same defect exhibited itself in commodity purchasing on nl quantity basis; it lacked pre-y paratory thought and planning, but it all counted in the price paid in gaining that most valuable of; all business assets, experience; from which future effort profited most.i

Among earlier experiences re- called. are occasions when farmer groups chartered a coastal trad- ing vessel and when loaded with produce, ventured out into "world markets" to dispose of their wares. Upon arrival at port in 2. selected consuming centre, if local supplies were at or below fihe minimum safety line. no difficulty was ex- perienced in readily disposing of. the cargo at profitable prices. Onl the other hand, if time of arrival
