Dear Mr. Bcatorh-Wc opened

last night a sack we thought was p tatoes and found a sock of mixed‘ i" irtables and your address. I am l v.v writing to thunk you and tell y u how much we appreciate your l

s:

xiness. We are trying some par-

ps and some of the potatoes for (L. her. It certainly looks as if you" laid a. good garden by the size of, Li: potatoes and turnips. Our gar-; den was an absolute failure. We got one-half sack full of little wee potatoes like we use to feed the pigs after having planted about five or six sacks.

In this district all we had to cut. for feed was “Russian 'I'hlst.le."| This is not much to tiy and mllkf cow's on. Th's is our first. year on relief and I hope our last, but lots‘, in this district have been on rellef< for about five years.

Up to now we hove milked about seven or eight cows. gliis year we had no feed for them, We wanted relief feed for the cows and had to sell all but. four head because. there are only three of us. So now we only have four cows and still haven't any cow feed.

As yet we cannot. look into the future and see any more prosper- ity than this year. The Ztound has snow on it but we haven't. good slelghing. It has come a, shower of ram and the snow is like ice. Ev- eryone is fall'ng. On the streets they are putting ashes so people can walk. I hope you arc getting more moisture than we arc and I hope we gel; a good crop this coming year. I'd like to see one like Dad talks about but I've never seen. In my 16 years I've never seen

I again thank you and wish you " a Merry Christmas and a. Happy and Prosperous New Year."

Efrem my mother, father and my- sel .

I wish to be your friend,

We look ahead to this day. It give! ua the opportunity to express our appreciation for your loyal patronage. We are able to join in this mutual expression of friendship. and good health . . . and hope that the year to come will be one to remember for the many goods things ‘it will bring.

GOODWILL AS A SECURITY?

Mr. Necdham is a member of the Federal House for The Battle-

speech made by him in the House at Ottawa:

"We are told that the world has gone mad. Surely it is time for us to restore a little sanity some- where. I have been thinking along this line: We are voting this ses- sion for defence purposes around $35,000,000. Suppose Canada, for instance, said: As a Government we shall try a new experiment in the world. We shall cut out ab- wllliely all armaments. defence or otherwise; we shall use that money ' ill the production of the neces- sities of life in this country, and then we shall distribute these necessities of life among those countries that need them mogt, 1g we have an enemy, we shall 31w them that which they need, and the keener the enemy the more goods we shall give them. I am Just wondering what $34,000,000 or $35,000,000 would mean to Can- ada if it were used in the extra Production of goods to be distri- buted among other nations. I am wondering what effect this would have on the nation which receiv- “d “"150 B00115 as a free gift. I hope, the day is not far distant, when some nation-and I hope it

~wlll have the courage to take such action.

“I am thinking of a Teacher of ,n long while ago Who laid down certain rules for the government 0f mankind. and I think the na- tion that first adopts the golden , rule will be the foremost and most respected nation in the world. I soy again, think of what that $34,. 4100000 would mean to Canada if ,lt were used in our mines, in our 'manitf_actures, on our farmers and

Paul brought the Christian mes- sage to Athens, he observed that it was, “to the Greeks, foolish- ness", and this was doubtless the case from a pagan point of view. Similarly, this proposal to act the part of true Christianity may be regarded today by some as "fool- ishness."

This is the season of gift giving. Is it not appropriate to introduce international gift giving as a solu- tlon to the problem of racial hatred and misunderstandings which breed unchristian conduct?

Another Description oi War

War means the murder of IN-

.NOCENT people, never the right-

ing of wrongs or the punishing of the guiltyfYet governments are now seeking the miistment of young men to pour fire on the children. Goodwill is the only de- fence.

n n Canada's Place or non

A British delegate at the World's Convention in Washington re- marked to me, “Cannot. Canada take the lead in calling a World Conference to examine causes of conflicts such as trade barriers, moi-distribution of raw material, population pressure, etc?" Many British peace workers and organ- izations are striving earnestly for such a conference to study causes rather than merely re- arrange consequences cf present policies and institutions.

Unions are urgently requested to study the Needham proposal in an effort. to discover whether Canada can lead the wny toward world peace.

ILLICIT LIQUOR AND DRUGS IN CANADA

1f there were no other need of a Canadian Mounted Police, the presence of a licensed liquor law or

its twin, an illicit liquor trade. would demand the expense.

The human body is endowed with tremendous capabilities by the way oi appetite, for good or for evil. The liquor trade, re- cognizing this as an agency through which money can be coin- ed in greater amounts than al- most any other, does not hesitate to ruin soul and body to fill its pockets.

This cultivation of evil zippetltes for the sake of the gaining of “filthy lucre" is spreading alarm- ingly in Canada. The drug, “co- delne", has recently come into such widespread use as to provoke drastic action by the Ontario Col- lege of Pharmacy. Drugglsts have been warned that all sales of co- clelne and its compounds must be labelled poison and. must be enter- ed on each drugglsts poison regis- ter and signed by the buyer.

But it appears that, if 1t. is a narcotic, it. should be so classed, as it is an acknowledged "lead- er up to the use of narcotics" and its use is increasing. Our great country, with people from all shores flocking here, should be well guarded. Canada is already cursed with government sale of liquor. Are we to be menaced with dope?

The addition, as an original De- partment of Work of Anti-Nar- cotics by the W.C.T.U., again dis- plays its all-comprehensive out- look for the good of our land.

TllE MOST TERRIFYING TEXT IN THE BIBLE

Are these two words: "SON, REMEMBER." In the 16th chap- ter of Luke you get a glimpse into the unseen region oi lost. souls. The man there was conscious li- ter death, he was in torments, and HE HAD A MEMORY. Don't think that death ends all. Son, remember - the wasted oppor- tunitics to be saved you had while on earth. Remember the many warnings given. Remem- ber the offers of mercy you dc- spised. Remem‘ the great love of God you rejected.
