The late head of one of our canadiaii publisilmg firms had this as his chief concern: "Tile read- mg of the people". Whenever he got a chance to speak or to write. this tins his theme. To him e u- cation was of prime lmporta ce. but the quality and quantity of the reading that followed the school gtIi'e'l”llCd the character of the tnatian more deeply than the publzr rettigiiizes. To no age was llie old proverb as applicable as to our own, "of making many b oks there is no end." Yet the qu lity of vast amounts of this literature is liinrc than doubtful, In older limes heresy was dreaded as the plague and the heretlc hunted like the criminal; in our day we are compelled to acknowledge that the ilncicaii is as deadly as the untrue and fur more insidious in its up- proarii. Hence the call for vigil- oiice on the part of our authori- HES.

More important still is the con- irzbutinii now being made by our public libraries. and particularly by the attention they are giving to children. We cannot -stress too strongly the fact that an illiterate tlectotzite is at the mercy of the dcniagugiio in a free land and that our leaders owegit to the world as iiell as to our own citizens to see that tho lniiids of our people are led Willi truth that nourishes and 'll1Spi.'ES.

We are hearing a good deal about crime and criminals these

e other daygcamedayl: How much of the wicked-

ness from which we suffer is due to reading? Years ago a clever lad grew. up in a quiet comer of Peel County. He fed his imagi-

.nation on the stories of Jesse

James and his gang. When he was working in the fields, he used every idle moment in this way-he would stand behind a tree with a revolver in hand and try how quickly he could spring out, plant a. bullet in some distant object. and spring back) to cover. He be- came a dangerous criminal who often defied arrest, and the young officer who finally caught him took a risk from which most men would shrink. His cleverness could not save him from the crash in which his career of crime ended, but his story illustrates the truth that one's mental food governs his moral character: . .

At the opposite extreme. take the cases of two pioneer mission- aries to the cannibals of the South Seas-John Geddie of our Maritime Provinces and John G. Paton of Scotland. The parents of both dedicated them from infancy to world evangelism, but never told their sons about it. Instead they fed the minds of the youths as they. grew with literature which magnified the missionsry's calling and eit on the results of his work, hile in prayer they plead- ed with God to call them in His own time and way. In due time the divine call came, and parents and sons together praised the Lord Their spiritual food shaped their life purpose and their destiny.

The Bible itself insists on the place which divine truth has in the upbuilding of character. What strong food is to the full-grown man the doctrines of grace are to character. Every business man knows the 'diaerence between the man whose dealings are governed by moral principles, universal and eternal in their bearing, and the man whose conduct is directed by the exigencies of the moment. The truths of Scripture. absorbed and assimilated. become principles and ideals. and the characters that we admire without reservation are those whose principles are immov- able as the everlasting hills and whose life-purpon is to embody their ideals in action and to re- produce them in those whom they teach and lead.

SPRINGTON W. I.

The regular monthly meeting of the Bprington W. I. was held on December 3rd at the home of Mrs. D. S. MacPhee with the pres- ident in the chair. The meeting opened by singing the Institute Ode followed by the Creed. Roll call was answered by six members- paying dues. and exchange of Christmas gifts. It was moved and seconded that 34 cents secretary's exipense be paid.

The minutes were read nd ap- proved. Correspondence as read by the secretary, and discussion of same took place. It was decided to pay s3.00 for the hire of an or- gan for the Christmas concert. It was moved and seconded to re- member four shut-ins at Christ- mas with a treat. 58.63 was taken in on cards. 32.40 on capsules.

Mrs. Ralph Thompson invited the Institute for the next meet- ing. It was decided to meet to put the oilcloth down in the cloak room.

But that is the demand Jesus hastalways made of His fol- lowers. He said: i'If anyone would come after me, let him renounce self. and take up his cross alid follow me." The devil cannot be fought with fire. Jesus turned away from the methods and agen- cies which the Messiah was ex- pected ito use and committed His life to winning the world by love. Down through the centuries His sacrifice and His victories have been celebrated in song and story and those who feed their minds and fire their imagination with the truth that inspired Him and the records of what that truth moved Him to suffer and achieve

Address and i Presentation

On Saturday evening. Novem- ber 29. the residents of Fairview and Rocky Point school districts more or less serenaded the home of Mr. Allison MacMillan and while they were welcome. it did seem strange to the host, why so many chose to call on the same evening. However. after the guests were assembled. Mr. Keith Taylor called the gathering to order, ex- plaining the nature of the call. namely that of recognizing the ef- forts of Mr. MacMillan in pro- moting and working strenuously for the installation of electric power in the 'above named dis- tricts.

He then called on Mr. Brent Currie who read an apprdpriate address while Mr. Chesley Mac- Dcugall made the presentation of 3. beautiful wrist watch. Mr. Mac- Mlllah. while still! surprised. nt- tingly replied.

Mr. E. A. Currie. in his own in- imitable way, spoke of the benefits of electrification and in a general way of the part. played in getting it. to the various districts. He was followed by Mrs. White, who con- curred with the sentiments of the previous speaker. .

Burdett at the piano was enjoyed by all, and the evening passed all too quickly.

A delectable lunch was served by the ladies of the distrlctsp after which all departed. having spent a very pleasant and enjoyable even;

Fairvlew.

Dear Allison:

Many times we have enjoyed social evenings of various kinds in your home and very often we have been indebted to both you and your good wife, but tonight w have come for a special reason- to honour you for your efforts in bringing electric power to this community.

It was our intention to do this long before now, but winter and your ill health can at least be used as an excuse for our delay. We are very glad that you are feeling so much better, and hope that for a long time to come. you will en- joy good health and again be able to take a leading part in improve- ments to our country life.

In two World Wars you have taken your part in fighting through to victory, and in this campaign. to us very important, this struggle for electric power. you have sacrificed much time and effort. '

when many of us thought it was impossible to get enough cus- tomers or that we would not get power for a long time. and with some dropping out. it was at times a very -discouraging project. But never faltering in your efforts, you were mainly responsible for bringing this most wonderful of all improvements to these districts. and we believe that many of the neighbouring communities realize that you were the originator and pursuer of the idea many years back. and are grateful for the con- venience and comfort it has brought to them.

For a year we have enjoyed electric power--tonight and every night our homes are illuminated at the touch of a switch; water is supplied automatically, and we en- ioy endless other uses from power about the farm and in the home. To do without electric power now would be unthinkable to most of us

So tonight in these few falter- ing words. we would like to tell you how much we appreciate what you have done and to pre- sent to you this small token of

top of the hill you would see at 91-min of spacious one-stiorry build- irlgs standing on I rugged hillside on the western side of Hon; K0118 Island among thousands of tomb- smnes of nearby graveyards. This creepy spot is known as the "coffin home". It was built some 30 years ago to hold the ashes of deceased Chinese waiting re- moval to their native homes on the mainland for burial. Now one hundred acres in size. Coffin House is growing by leaps and bounds since the war has upset transporta- tion facilities. There are nearly 1000 shells stored there at pruent to- gether with 200 baskets contain- ing the bones of dead men. Re- latives have to pay rentals for keeping the dead there . . . . . It costs 50 cents to :15 "Hong Kong money” to keep a coffin or bus- ket there. Running this strangest of all cctneteries is Chan Kwai's job. No wonder the old fellow beckons 1,000 ghosts nightly. .

When Ernest Sheldon. of Pimt- nam. Conn. lay dying he requested that his folk set tip for his tomb- stone the old iron anvil over which lie'dworked for 58 years as it smith. iSo Er-met Sheldon is the first dead man in history to have an anvil for his tombstone. ,
