At the [Heart of the Empire

A happening at the foot of the Nelson Monument, Trafalgar Square, Inndon, wee described by the Hon. Wm. Finiuyeon, Provincial Minister of Ilnde and Fbmte. at the annual meeting dimer “of the Ontario Scout ellociation, or the incident that bad first interpreted to him the lilniiieahoe of the BoyScout Move- meat; While in London in 1929, the year of the World Scout Jamboree.

“stand for a. few minutes oi reflee. tion at the heart of the Empire!’ There, before the Nelson Monument he was somewhat upset to find u considerable crowd, possibly listen- ing to the harangue of a "Redfor- some other intruding voice. In its centre, however, he discovered two East Indian Boy Scouts bendlnk over a map .of London, laying out a sight-seeing tour by compass. The boys quite undisturbed by their au- dience, returned polite thank-yous for proferred advice, but went a- headiwith their own quiet talk and planning. Finally they rose, one put away the compass, the other folded the map, and without inquiry o! anyone they set off. The discovery oi these two young representatives of India, pilgrims like himself to the “heart of the Empire," their de- meanourgand the confident manner in which they planned their sight- seeing through the intricacies of the world's greatest city, left a never- forgotten impression. It provided a unique demonstration, the Hon. Mr. Finlayson felt, of the Scout ties of Empire friendship and loyalty, and as well oi the practical and univer- sal value oi the Scout training.

10,000,000 Boy Scouts

The 76th birthday, February 22, of Lord Baden-Powelrof Gilweli, father of the Boy Scouts, and the fact that the Movement this year achieves its 25th birthday, attracts new growth oi Scouting within the life of its founder. Reports pres- ented at the recent annual meeting in London show an enrolment of 2,159,984 Scouts and leaders in no less than 94 countries and purie of the British Empire.

Since the inauguration oi the Movement in 1908 not less than ten million boys have profited by its training for good citizenship. To this number may be added probably half that number of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts of the resulting sister movement-in all some 15,- 000,000 young people influenced to realize their best in service, health and friendliness.

Not the least contribution has been that to youth world-under- standing by this "Junior League of Nations." Three world gatherings oi Boy Scouts and one of Rover (older) Scouts have brought togeth- er many thousands of boys oi all nations in completely friendly in- tercourse. The Scout Jamboree of 1929 called to England over 53,000 boys, many from enemy countries of the Great War, for two weeks o! the friendliest iratcrnising. A similar gathering this year will bring other thousands together to offer “adult nations" and their diplomats anoth- er example of thousands oi boys of many countries living and playing together in complete mutual respect and cordial good-will for two jolly weeks.

Truly a wonderful living monu- ment to a living leader; and one for whom many more years oi inspired leadership will be toasted by a practically unbroken world chain of Scout and Guide banquets, celebrat- ing his natal day, and that also oi. Lady Baden-Powell, World Chief‘ Guide, on February 22nd.

The clause passed the committee stage bu; two other clauses were held over. One clause would per- mitlunlouding oi a vessel 0n Sun- day! and holidays, escaping de- murrage charges. Another would permit any customs officer at any time to bCard a vessel in any $91‘- ritorlal waters and inspect it for contraband. The clause is ex- plained in the printed bill “the right of boarding and search of vessels other than those hovel-lull .15 required to prevent smuggling by small vessels obtaining cargo oi liquors from vessels hovering cut- side territorial waters and proceed- ing to shore."

Another clause of the bill would provide for seizure and forfeiture of unmanifested goods. the maxi- mum penalty to the ship's mas"? being $200 or one year in jail.

The committee considered only - the one clause today, dealing with liquor smugglers who escaped through the technbality in the law. Hon. J. L. Raiston, ‘former Minister oi’ National Defence coil- tended goods should be asse'sed at their actual value to determine the offence and punishment.

Some Interesting Details

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN GEIITRAI. GUARDIAN

The Piety o! Women

There is a popular belief that wo- men are more pious than men. The i931 Census appears to demonstrate the truth of it. The males record- ed as having no-religion numbered 15,361 and the females only 5,710.

Also women are more prone to identify themselves with a religious denomination. Males who did not record their sect affiliation num- bered 14,374 and females only 1,668.

Denominations in which Females ' Predominalc

The male population of Canada at the 1931 Census was 5,374,541 and the female population 5,092,245. It "light be expected, therefore, that in the various religious denomina- tions the males would preponderate, but this is not eo. 1n the larger denominations such as the -Roman Catholics, United Church, Anglicans "ud Presbytorions, the males are in the majority, but in certain others the females outnumber the males.

Women predominate amongst the Adventists, Apostolic Brethren, Brethren, Christadelphians, Christ- ian Alliance, Christian Science, Church of Christ Disciples, Follow- ers of Christ, Gospel People, Holi- ness Movement, New Thought, Pen= tecostal, Plymouth Brethren, Saints. Salvation Army, Spiritualisis, ‘Ihco- sophists, ‘Truth.

Many Small Denominations

Included in the statement yester- day regarding the various religious denominations in Canada, there were “Other Seats’ given as 4,014. Some of these are: 270 Amenlans, 30 Bnhai, 21 Bible Church, 32 Cal- vary, 63 Carmelite, 79 Christian Brotherhood, 121 Church or the First Born, 60 Church of Grace, 25 Church in the Home, 94 Commun- ity Church, 10 Confessional, 11 Con- nectional, 13 Daniel's Band, 25 Dis- senters, 14 Divine Revelation, 10 Evangelical of the Free, 40 Feder- ated, 54 Free Church, 91 Funda- mentalist, 10 God and Christ, 12 Holiness Worker, 104 Holy Ghost, 19 Hussltes, 115 Interdenominational, 17 Jesus Only, 36 Kedron, 10 King- dom, 58 Labour Church, 25 Liberal Catholic, 41 Materialist, 43 McQuin- nitte, 18 Megiddo, 2i Messiah, 11 Modernist, 13 Monism, 11 Name of the Lord, 31 New Testament, 40 Pil- grim Holiness, 182 Polish National, 210 Rationalist, 18 Redeemer, 61 Rosecrucian, 67 Schonweiser, 222 Shakers, 10 Socialist, 11 Taoist, 47 Testimony of Jesus, 109 Ukranian National, 160 Zion, 56 Zivingli, to- gether with l,151 persons belonging to 298 other sects.

Religious Denominations in the Big Cities.

The chief cities oi Canada, ao- cording to population, are Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg. The Census of 1931 showed that. amongst the religious denominations represented, Roman Catholics, in- eluding Greek Catholics, were in the majority in Montreal, Anglicans in Toronto and Vancouver and the United Church in Winnipeg.

Anglicans were second in numer- ical strength in Montreal and Win- nipeg, whilst the United Church was second in Vancouver and Toronto.

To REGULATE

(Continued from Page 1)

Governor said, he expected to be fully empowered to reg-mat: bank- ing operations.

The “acute financial emergency" in the Union Guardian ‘rrust Com- pany of Detroit, which led Gover- nor Comstock to proclaim last Tues- day a banking holiday, he intimat- ed tonight may lead to an exten- sion of the moratcrlum._ He said that "developments alone" will de- termine whether "a full or semi- moratoriurn" will be continued ai- ter February 23.

The ‘bankers, it appeared, were more troubled about the situation than the 900,000 depositors whose $1,500,000,000 is tied up in the 530 banks effected. In Detroit, dep- ositors were offered nearly $30,000,- 000 for emergency purposes. They withdrew only about 20 percent oi that amount yesterday and today.
