In this connection, the tree and shrub growth along the banks of streams and brooks is of great value in providing food and shade for trout, and cover for game. It also helps prevent the erosion which adds to the deposit of slit in the bed of streams. Much of this shrub and tree growth has

Religion

A writer of our own time—was It Bernard 3liaw?——has cried out against the use of the Cross as the symbol of a religion of love. The Cross, he insisted, wls the instrument of hideous cruelty - a torture too horrible to contenti- plate. and it should never be as- sociated with the religion of mercy. Pity and love.

But he was wrong. The miracle of Calvary is that there the Cross was transformed from an instru- ment of torture into the symbol of mercy. and forgiveness and love hginer than the mountains and broader than the sea. We see the change in the Christian atti- tude toward the Cross take place in the New Testament itself. In St. Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost, the Cross represents Jesus‘ humiliation, and the Resur- rection is His vindication and triumph. But in the later books or the New Testament the Cross is itself Christ's glory, and the crowning manifestation of the love of God for lost mehva love infinite as God Himself.

ever we render this or that par- ticular passage, the truth stands out that the religion Jesus found- ed is based on the love, the mercy, and the forgiveness of God. “Christianity is n remedial system and therefore it busies itself with those who most manifestly need remedy." Jesus Himself said after the moral transformation of zacchseus. a chief among the tax-gatherers who had been using his position to prey on his people:—"’I'he Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." And His parables of the Lost. Sheep. the Lost Coin and the Lost Son era’!-lie illus- lratimis of thé truth which HO came from Heaven to reveal -

,ihat "man, even at his worst, is

a being of priceless value in God‘: sight as a moral personality."

Like her Divine Master, the church is sent to seek and to save the lost and she dies directly she ceases to seek.

(lo) huge areas of land suit- able only for forest growth are now producing nothing of vsJue.

(ll) Dominion census of 1951 showed that 434 farms, com- prising 21,418 acres. had been a- bandoned. It is well known that, during the last decside, the number of abandoned farms has increased greatly. However, among these are a number of good terms which are not occupied or in pro- duction owiru to the advanced age >f the owners and the scarcity of farm labor.

(12) Between IE1 and 1951 the population decreased from 109,078 to 08,429.

(is) Tim population density in 1951 was is per square mile, the largest in Canada. Of the total population 47.6 per cent were liv- ing on farms.

(14) Since 1031 the percentage population living on farms has de- creased from in per cent to 47.6 per cent of the total.

(16) The original forest re- sources are depleted; and it is now neceuary to. import large quantities of sewn lumber for building purposes.

(17) No mineral resources have been discovered.

(18) The economy of the Prov- inoe now depends almost alto- gether on agriculture, the coastal fisheries and the tourist industry.

Other facts relating to preeen conditions are:

(1) There are no extensive for- est areas Most of the wooded land is in farm woodlots.

(2) Most farmers and the gener- al public do not realise the im- portence of woodlands in the econ-_ omy of the Province.
