christian church convention

Another convention of much public in- terest opens today in Charlottetown, that of the Churches of Christ of the Maritime Provinces. This religious organization is of long standing in Prince Edward Island; in- deed, so far as local churches in Canada are concerned the movement may be said to have originated in this Province in 1810. with a small group in Lot 18. A few years later Alexander Crawford arrived from Scotland and organized several churches, although at his death most of them join- ed with the regular Baptists. The church at Cross Roads, Lot 48, remained true to its independence and is known as the first Church of. the Disciples in the Island. Among the pioneer leaders to follow Mr. Crawford were Dr. John Knox, a former Anglican minister from Edinburgh, who organized churches at Montague and East Point, and John Stevenson, who arrived at Rustico in 1820 with a number of silk weavers from Paisley, Scotland, and later removed to New Glasgow.

In Charlottetown. a small church ap- pears to have been functioning in 1844 un- der the leadership of a Mr. Hughes, but they had no house of worship at that time. Soon after, a building was erected on Great George Street, which was succeed- ed by the present commodious building on Kent Street, dedicated in 1900, in which this week's convention is being held. The church at Summerside was organized in 1858 by Donald Crawford in the home of Benjamin Schurman, Lot 16. His name is perpetuated in the Crawford Memorial Church at Bradalbane, where he held his first meeting in 1878. The church at Greenmount, built in 1887, received a sub- stantial endowment through the will of,Mr. Silas Rayner. At Murray Harbour a church was formed in 1898 by R. W. Stevenson and O. B. Emery. Of later date are the churches at Fredericton, dedicated in 1931. and at Murray River, which Rev. Mr. Waterxvorth, when pastor at Montague, was instrumental in building in 1933.

A comparatively large number of preachers, educationists and professional men have come from the Churches of Christ in Prince Edward Island, and th- adherents include many well known and esteemed families throughout the Province. Their convention this week will be attend- ed by speakers from the United States as well as Canada, who along with all the visiting delegates may be assured of a warm Island welcome.

Doubtful Accolade

A man of Lord Beaverbrookls temper- ament and convictions would be the last quarter that one might expect to find praise for Britain's socialist Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison. Yet Mr. Morrison has recently been accorded the accolade of "Man of the Hour", by The Express of; London. which' cannot find words suff- iciently strong to praise his handling of the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute.

Serious observers of the contemporary political scene in Britain detect in the somewhat mysterious support accorded by lhc Tory press to Mr. Morrison's muddling in the Middle East, evidence of a rift in Conservative circles on British foreign pol- icy. Mr. Churchill, as is well known. has oeen counselling caution in the handling of the Iranian affair. Other figures in the Conservative party have been giving vent, ta outbursts of indignation worthy of the most ardent imperialists of the Victorian era. Lord Salisbury, for example, whose stature in Conservative circles is considerable, has openly rebuked Mr. Morrison for his timer- ous handling of the oil situation.

. '. It is not without significance that while all these heated exchanges have been go. in: On. Mr. Anthony Eden should h8.V(: chosen August as the most propitious mo- ment to pay a visit to Canada and the United States. As the heir presumptive to Mr. Churchill's mantle as conservative leader, it is not unnatural for Mr. Ekien to wish to avoid taking sides in the dispute. Under such circumstances, an invitation ta deliver an address to a relatively obscure 81'0"? in Denver. Colorado, must have bee most welcome. -

such a state of affairs would seriously weak- en the Conservatives in their attempt to make political capital out of the somewhat more obviously divided views in Labovi Party circles on rearmament versus false teeth and spectacles.

Hospital charts.

Industry, particularly mass production industry, has a long lead over clerical work in devising means of increasing the output of the worker while at the same time" sim- plifying tasks. That sitriation is rapidly changing, however, and greater attention is being given to cutting down the effort wasted in routine record keeping by evolv- ing suitable forms and the use of account- ing machinery wherever possible.

The saving is particularly valuable where, as in the case 01' hospital nurses. the persons doing the paper work must be highly skilled in other matters than recori keeping. Their time can be much more ad vantageously employed in attending to their patients' wants than in making elaborate, though necessary charts.

The Toronto Western Hospital has tack- led the problem and it seems likely that other institutions will follow suit. New charts have been developed and printed which enable the nurse to check a list of particulars, indicating which apply to the patient, and give a complete record in simplified form, writing perhaps 20 words instead of about a page.

PUBLIC FORUM

This column is open to tin discussion by correspondent: of questions of Interest. The Guardian don not necessar- tly e the opinion of correspondents.

DRIN AND CRIME

Sir.-Senator Charles W. Tobey of the U. 8. Crimes Commission writes as foliows:- ”We found where one man has more power than the Governor in many things, and received 3 mil- lion dollars last year, from liquor and other evil interests, to use in any way he wished and he used this money to corrupt men in public life. No accounting was made and no records were kept." This Commission found that in the big cities of Chicago. New York, Los Angcles, and all over the country drink and crime went. hand in hand. Television has startled the American people with its revelations of crime, gambling, theft, lying and murder us never before in their history. Senator Tobey, himself, has received over 15,000 letters about these crime conditions, Time magazine 113,000 letters, so aroused the American people have become. In Chicago Drury, 5 police officer who had been active against criminals, was suddenly murdered in cold blood the night he was to appear before the Crimes Commission. It is common knowledge that drink is the root of most of our crime. In Trinidad we lived be- side a Chinese grocery shop where also rum was sold. 'On a dark night of heavy rain, by the way. I remember. it was the day King George V was crowned, five In- dian men came into the shop and drank liquor, Mohammedan: though they were. to make them reckless. They hid behind the counter while old Assce locked up. then when he had gone to bed they went up and, after finishing him, look the key from under his pillow, rifled the ,big safe of its cash (some 33,000) and jewels, carrying the loot. away in bask- ets; and then set the place on fire. Those men got their necks stretched for that crime. The world over it. is the same. Crime. naturally. roots from drink as thistlcs from seed. No matter who he is or what. beta if he turns to drink he is in danger of losing his moral sense. and becoming it liar and a thief or something, worse. Why is it that church people drink and tolerate drink? Whv this apathy toward II. thing that is the root of so much evil in the individual and in the nnt.ion?. In the last. plebiscite that destroyed Prohibition the majority of church members voted in the new Tem- perance Act. and now it is turning out. that there is more drinking and consequent evil than in the old days when there was a saloon cn every corner.

I Law And Justice (Royal Bank Monthly Letter) Justice is more than an instinct

for pi'esei'vation,more than a pro-

duct of our reason, more than a

sentimental force. Once in A

while we startle ourselves when

our unconscious thought brings us face to face with I revelation of

justice. Justice is obviously not happi- neu for everyone, says Rene

Wormser. for I law which would make one man happy is very likely to make another unhappy. To say that justice is happiness for the majority will not appeal -to people who believe that the minority should be considered too. The satisfaction of human inter- ests is not the answer, because interests differ, and compromises are essential to the working of a democracy such as ours. Is sat- isfaction of human wants the an- swer? But whose wants are to be satisfied? To satisfy everyones wants would be impossible, and it would not be just. to satisfy some and ignore others.

It will be seen that there is some difficulty in deciding what is justice, whether thought of as an end or a means. There are some who would have us believe that only fear of the consequence of injustice persuades men to do justly. Others say we are made just. by contemplation of the things for which we shall be ac- countable at the final Great As- size which most. of us exrrcl. mankind to face in some form or other.

If we grant that within himself a man seeks to think justly. then it in easy to contemplate his deal- ing justly-with his family. his neighbours, his associates. To look for refuge in thoughts of great. heroic 1 uncements and en- deavours will effect but little. Justice is almost always simple. handy. and small. S

Justice takes in all people, and is at the heart of our every ideal. It. is at the centre of every truth we know. It includes kindness and pity. generosity and heroism. be- cause all these are acts of justice. Justice goes far beyond the nar- row circles of obligation that sur- round us, beyond the crimes of men. bcyond duty. We have no virtue that is complete un.ess it can stand up under the fixed and keen regard of justice.

. . .

Opposed to justice is injustice, which has two aspects: the actual doing of an injury to atioiher,and timely looking on while he is in- jured and not helping him. We give away our freedom every time we are silent in the face of injus-

tlce. Worst of all injustice is the causing of suffering to others

whether or not it breaks a law. Injustice is shameful to those who are unjust, not. those against whom the injustice is directed.

No man cares to look back upon his acts of weakness or injustice, and to have congregate in his mind the events of. bygone days which he cannot contemplate calmly and peacefully and with satisfaction.

We should dislike very much to start. our advance toward realiza- tion of the justice we seek in the midst of I sorrow we caused.eve'n though without intention.

Justice exacts payments for in- justice by destroying our personal happiness. An I writer of the Middle Ages cold: "The man who suffers inwardly the plunge of re- morse for unkindneu he has in- meted suffers more gi-icvously than he who is whipped for his sins." The suffering becomes more deadly, uid Moetcrlinck. in the degree of the man's greatness and knowledge.

But if old hopes lie shattered around us. shall we not Dick up the fragment: and piece together another ideal, lau unhitiouo per- haps, but still rooting upon our lnborn some of justice?

The precepts of legal justice no then: to live honourcbly. to in- fun no other mm, to render to every man hil due.

We have. now. i vogue concep- tion of the cull higher than that would

IREASUBY NOTES

"During all this winter. the farmers have been paid for their grain in money. instead of goods, as formerly - the limited amount of Treasury notes in circulation has thus been. in a great measure. absorbed by them, and it il now difficult to get even the best bills cashed. The country is liable to a charge of interest upon these notes. it is true. provided they are funded. and it would. there- fore. be imprudent to issue any quantity of them. however urgent the de " at the moment (for they may all finally revert upon the Treasury) without making a provision for the interest, lim- ultaneously with every fresh issue.

"In the last session of the AI- sembly. an Act was passed, auth- orizini: an issue of notes to the amount of i3,000-but the Legis- lature. at the same time, too': care to provide for the interest. by laying a tax on molasses and sugar. which would produce u revenue equivalent to the inter- est on that issue. if every farth- lng of it was funded. Part of these notes have been expended in erecting a Jail-but the greater part remain yet unappropriated . . . We have now had five yenrs' experience of the Treasury notel, and not a single farthing has yet been funded-not a farthing of interest has yet been paid on them! The only subject of com- plaint is, that there are too few in ('irculniinn."
