ple. Ldiiiiiipluyiiient, illness, and a variety of other social problems destroy our feeling of se- ctiriiy and take from us that worthwhileness ivhich lflllhCcflilS even our own achievements Insecurity tears down personality and com- pctency. In Canadian large cities the poor are begin-

ning to draw away from churches, and in the United States fifty per cent. of the population have no church connections. This may be at- tributed to a variety of reasons but in general these are lack of money for the collection plate. lack of clothing to give a presentable appear- ance, inability to keep up one’: part in the church's social life, and lastly, the feeling that the church is no longer interested in them. The discouraged, frustrated, unhappy person needs the church and expects from it understanding and sympathy, and recognition of what he is go- ill’: through, together with an acceptance of him- self ns n person, and something useful to do. This person does not want pity. One of the most expensive kindnesses of which the churches have been guilty is in givng money as charity and pity. Pity is a disintegrating experience and destnictive to personality. Further, it is less devastating to a person to take money from a socialagency than from his church. People in trouble require understanding and, above all, a \Vfll'll'l human contact with other people. If people have fundamental belief in the brother- hood of man, churches and church members Wlll not be embarrassed by poverty but will have a deep human sympathy with people facing discour- agement, and will extend to them the accept- ance and fellowship which will go far in pro- viding that security which has been lost. The modern congregation must get away from Churchism, and back to the Christianity of its founder, who came not to save the righteous and the well-doing but the sinners, the social outcast, and the heavy laden.

Evidently the \i\’est is in for a good grain crop which should discomfit the pessimists. Fair to good showers practically daily at various points in Western Canada appears to be the first sign that the drought may be" broken. Prevai‘ing winds have been from the south and east. The border-line between drought and good crop- growing weather is so slight that it is almost unbelievable. Good rains at the right time are what is needed most. As tine farmer. or for that matter any farmer in the West will say, “Tell me when it's going to rain and I will tell you what kind of a crop I will have." And it has already rained most everywhere. iv iii i:

It is just as well to have the other side of the picture in the pelt business, seeing we have for some time been developing an inferiority com- plex compared with Norway. Mon. Bank, pro- prietor of Ampolskins, Ivor, Poland, one nf the largest specialized importing houses in Western Europe, declared in an interview in Montreal Monday that “there is not the faintest doubt to- day in Europe that Canada produces silver fox, beaver and other furs of the finest quality and colour in the world" “Are European fur markets picking up?” he was asked. “There has been a. very decided improvement each yearof the last three, and we thinkthis one will excel anything since the depression began. As the fur trade was one of the hardest hit in the world, I think that is good news,” Mr. Bank added.

According to the Bank of Montreal, reports for April business in the hlarititnes is remark- ably good. “Wholesale and retail sales are run- ning in excess of last year. Collections are fair to‘ good. Stocks of dried fish are low and prices firm. Woods "operations have been com- pleted and the cut is reported to be much larg- cr than last year. Lumber markets are strong. Pulpwood is in active demand at advancing prices. Paper mills continue operating at a high rate of production. Cotton factories and woollen mills are well employed. Prime fox pelts are bringing good prices. Production of steel ingots continues at capacity. Building trades in the larger centres reflect increased activity. Coal raised during hiarch totalled 347,585 tons as compared with 337,604 tons in March, 1936. Prices for farm products are satisfactory." >i=. =i<

Mr. Itoebiiclt has not been saying much since his dismissal as Attorney-General for Ontario, but judging by the Toronto Star he has been thinking out loiid aplenty.

The Bolshev- ‘k doctrine 1s that religion 1s the dope of the masses and so must be obliterated.

A K‘ruberley dentist. has had the amazing exper- ience of extracting the stump of n tooth from a. man's gums and find- lng a rifle bullet clasped tn his forceps. His patient had been suf- fering from sore gums for two or three years. Lately small ulcers kept forming in one spot, under whteh there appeared to be a lump. He concluded that it was the stump of a tooth, so he had it. extracted. It was actually a. bullet. which had des- troyed his left eye during the war. Hts eye had healed satisfactorily, and nobody had dreamt that. he was still carryng the bullet. about with him.

The plain fact ls that. the em- ployment situation ls nearly back to the form of non-depression years. The huge sum taken from the tax- payers for unemployment relief 1s being largely spent ln subsidizing the loafer who has never known or desred regular work. Possibly the recent decision of the Ministry to strike off the dole list. those impost» ers who refuse private employment because the dole ls more attractive has been partly responsible for the more favourable unemployment fig- ures. If so, that is all to the good; but. it does not alter the fact that. the amount raised by the un- employment rellef tax ls actually higher than it. was in 1932, although the volume of unemployment ls only about; a. third of what it. was ln that. year. Moreover, it ls only reasonable to suppose that. the more industrious and deserving among the victims of the depression have new found work. so that. those still in receipt. of the people's bounty comprise largely the reckless and the undeservlng.—Melbourne Argus.

"AT HIS BEST”

Mr. Cunningham did hls best work as Editor of’ the “Dally Chronicle” and subsequent to the death of the proprietor, Mr. C. K. Jardlrte. ‘Prior to i902, his style was necessarily cramped, but freed of the repression which his late employer's strict supervision 1n- volved, he could be himself, and people awoke to the fact; that an exceedingly able Journalist had arisen in their midst. "Have you seen that. damned flne article in this morning's “Chronicle? was an almost stereotyped and oft-heard question. The situation was not. without its humorous side for, ad- mitting the excellence of m. Cunningham's work from this time onward (or several years, many of The Chronicle articles which won so great a. measure of public appreciation and praise, were not from his pen at all but; were written

Mr. S. Morgan Powell, a clever Englishman, whose style was so vastly different from Mr. Ctumlns- ham’s that. in confronting i318 W01"! of these writers no very nice power of discrimination was betokened. If anything, Mr. Powell had a greater command of language, far more descriptive ability and l keener sense or humor, but he was superficial, more entertaining than convincing at. all times; whereas Mr. Cunningham's work rested upon the more solid foundation o! careful thought, reliable ‘data and logical contention. In a. sentence, Mr. Powell sought to be amusing and was consistently successful, but. Mr. Cumilngham was ever seriously bent. upon scoring points. Mr. Powell dealt tn adrolt. subter- fuge to conceal defeat; “alliter- atlonls artful ald" was one of his many smoke-ccreens.

I recall to mind an instance of this admirable and amusing aclrolt- nms. The "Dally Chronicle," championed by Mr. Powell, and “The Argosy" by Mr. J. R. Burnett, 1f I recollect rightly, had a “brush” ataperlod at which the Water Street. organ was published. on pink paper. The matter in dispute 1s immaterial and, to be candid, I do not recollect it. I am. however, clear upon the point that Sam Powell or ours came off second best so far as argument went, but his defeat was lost sight of com- pletely when scofflngly, he amused his readers by referring to "The Argosy" as a “poor, pampered. petttfoggtng, pork-knocking, pink paperlet."

Such formidable alliteration mlsed a laugh, of course, and when the "Argosy" resentfully retorteri with reference to the "cranky chronicle," 1t. was generally two-apt.- ed that honours lay with Main Street, the original theme o! con- tention having meanwhile been lost sight of, and Mr. Powell's defeat, thus screened, as he had planned. He was far and away the most brilliant writer in his class which the Georgetown Press had known.

I met hlm tn Canada some years ago. Hls iron constitution was seemingly unimpaired, notwith- standing the exaotlons of journal: ism, and he had risen to a high administrative post on the "Star". of Montreal, and ranked amongst, say six of the most outstanding journalists of Canada, this after 25 years’ continuous work 1n the Dominion. He was glad to talk over the good old “Dally Chronicle“ days, and l: heartened me greatly to hear hlm refer loyally to the "Dally Chronicle" ris a “model paper“. A quarter of a century had changed him not at all, and luughlngly he kept barking back ‘o one memory-how he and I had stood together on the gallows 1n Georgetown and witnessed the
