go one can look at world affairs may without feeling the need of ,-igoi-ous religious leadership in the ciiort to held fast the freedom which is our heritage handed down to us by our fathers. and which is imper-iiied today as it has hntbeen for ceiitu-.ries. But one can feel this d....;.1y without conceding to the iio.i.i of the state the function of n"i'2h:llIIng the religious forces of the people. Church and state are 5ep:1l'ato in our free OUIIXIDMQS; OBc'l'i ,5 independent of the other, and it is the part of spiritual men to in- spire religious people and lead them at the fight fcr the right.

he prophets of Israel reached herlits never before attained by th': mind of man. The prophet was cnitir. champion. He spoke for God. He interpreted the mind and will of God in regard to the issues of his own time. He received God's mo age for the people of his own at: 'atl:n and his life work was in load them in working out God's ccnunaiids in the nation's policy. F1 to often the prophet was re- jot it by those whom he was sent in t ., and his faithfulness to his i!'..'L scaled by mnrtyrdcim, but his ion-.mLssion required him to deliver- i::. message regardless cf the con- xV.g.le'l1'.!BS to himself.

Just look at the prophet:

Old Testament. -In the first . they were men of God. They were called -by God and owed their conn- mixalon to Gcd alone. The stories of the ways In which Moses. Samuel, lsalah,and Jeremiah reveal to us the secret springs out of which their ministries flowed are among 0lI' most precious spinitual trea- surm. often they were called to op- pose the kings and ruling classes of their time and to condemn them as enemies of God and the people. This meant that prophets like Jere- miah, fcr example. -were in constant danger of torture or death at the hands of the King. or the military, or the recognized pzimts and proph- ets of their time. or the mob but through it all they obeyed the divine command to speak the word en- trusted to them, not dlmhilslilsig a

St. Paul said: ”'lhe spiritual mean word

Then the prophets were states- men of the first rank. one is 'amaz- ed at the keenness of their insight into the character of the leaders of the nations, into the tendencies and movements of the hour. and into the bearing of moral principles ac- cepted by all and of the will of God communicated directly to them on the events before them. Hence they spoke with authority based on mor- al convictimr and direct revelation; and history has vindicated them.

We live in perilous times. Our most precious treasures fl-can the past are under attack. God is deni- ed. His l-aw flouted. justice truth and purity scoffed at by great work! powers. Let us never forget, however. that a people's gravest danger is from within. ”Where there is no vision the people perish." Christ called His followers the salt of the earth and the light of the wonld,and if they are to pre- serve society from decay andi'llu- mine its darkness, they must spend and be spent like salt and light in fulfilling God's will for their own generation.

There are two attitudes that must be avoided. One is to concentrate on ou-r cnvn spiritual culture in our own select circle and let the world go its own way. This is to repudi- ate a sacred obligation. Christ re- quires us to give to Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, and point- cd out that when we accept ths privileges the state provides we cw: the state our share of the cost. 'I'he very fact that we are free to wor- ship God according to our own

science is due to the protection of a state fcunded and supported by lovers of freedom, and we are such a government the support that none but Christians can give.

The, opposite extreme is also to be avoided-namely, leaving our religion out when we take part in pclitlcs. The sore need of our time is the prophetic spirit which waits on God for the conummlcatlon of His will. and then fearlessly pm- claims that will and stands by it as free citizens cvf.'God's free country. God will make His will known as clearly as in the past if we have faith to rec-the it and the heart or

Helplfulllersonal Planning Booklet

To help people meet the problems of today's high cost of living. a bright little book, published by the Bank of Montreal, has just. made its appearance. It tells a stcry of budget-planning - how to make the most of income while cutting down financial worries, The book- iet. "Personal Planning for suc- cessful Homemakers" -- available at all branches of the bank for the asking - has; been tested before being put into general circulation. Tried out-on a limited basis at the Bank of Montreal booth in last year's Canadian National Exhibition

.- at Toronto. the Personal Planning

idea drew enquiries from a host of .' ” . Correspondence since re- ceived at the bank's head office in- dicate that it is helping a good many people to solve their finan- cial problems.

Where budgeting is cften re- stncted in scope to suggestions for better family bookkeeping. Personal Planning, as its name implies. puts the person before the plan. It takes account of to nature first and record-keeping second. 'mls broad approach" not only takes the bore- dom out cf budgeting. but makes for success on a realistic basis. ,

In line with its lmman approach. Persoml Planning does not urge "standard" budgets upon people. on the conbrary.- the Bank of Mont- real. which has been dealing with the financial proble-i-n's of Canadians of wary occupation for over in Penn. believes that few individuals

In contrast. Personal Plannins takes the attitude that the budltt is made for the individual, not vice versa. Thus, it takes into account not onlyrent. food. insurance and the like. but the ptlanner's aims and also his need to enjoy today.

Mcdel budgets are used only as exam in Personal Planning lit- er: . It is emphasized that. in detail, these hold good exclusively for the particular people they were designed for, not for the reader.

Following is the report given by President J. P. Lani: at the recent annual meeting of the Charlotte- town Driving Park and Provincial Exhivition Association:

"The Charlottetown Driving Park and Provincial hhibitien has had a very successful year and wish to thank the cltiuns of the Province for their cooperation and support.

"The work was shared equally .by all the directors but the heaviest burden- Wu carried by our Vice-President and -Manager. Mr. H. J. Kennedy. To him is due the credit for inaugurating our building programme with the help of the Dominion and Provincial governments.

"Colonel D. A. Macxinnon. who was President of the Association for many years, still takes a great interest and has been very gener- ous in aclvlllnl mu helping wherever sllble. "The egmiltural exhibits were of 3, very high quality.

"All these improvements could not be accomplished without the generous support of both Domin- ion and Provincial governments. and especially the -vw-uraae-ment of our - Premier. Hon. J.

"Our Minister of Agriculture, Hon. 0. C. Baker and Deputy Min- later. Mr. Walter sham. have given generously of their time as they have in every undertaking that would be advantageous to farming in general.

"We would like also to express our appreciation to all member. of their staff. and especially Mr. Stewart Wright. who have helped to make this lbthibltlon such a great success.

"During the beginning of the year the track was widened practically all around to sixty feet. A new fence was erected around the track and painted white to re- flect the light for night racing and the lighting was increased fifty percent.
