It is .n times of stress and strain that zlo great value of our edu- cational and cultural institutions is brought. most forcibly home- ‘Pile graduates of Si.

More utilitarian Studlee—th= acquiremcnt of the qualifications necessary to make s. livelihood- were never more necessary than they are today: but these subjects have rightly been relegated to second place in our higher educa- tional curriculs. A proper back- ground of philosophy and religion is the only influence that can coun- ‘tcract the crude and revolutionary thinking which is so much in evi- dence m modern civilization.

CITY COUNCIL

Evidently the City Council did not get much "forrader" special meeting on Monday. The much heralded police investigation came to naught, and the otherbusi- ness on the agenda, with the exception of the resolution con-

lation for which was passed by the Saunders Government, is inopera- tive because 9W0 of the members of the Commission have contracts Ior the me of their electricity with the Maritime Electric Light Com- pany. ‘This is a. matter that will ham to be settled between the Government and the commission, or between applicants before the Commission and the Commission Itself. It is not customary for a Pflnlbacase toqilcetion the constitution of the court to which It goes of its own free will and accord, but in this particular in- stance His Worship does not seem to be in accord with hie Council independently. Anyway, U19 question now having been rais- ed it is for the Government andthe Commission to adjust matters, or have the city Council in the im- enviable position of not being able to proceed with the airing of its case before the CommLs-sion.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN

The warning note given by the Sov et official organ Izvestia to Japan is not without canoe. According to the Week lihid ‘Review of May 21st, there are still keen observers who believe that a. Russian-Japanese clash is in the highest degree improbable; but opin-

ion and fears that it is becoming more likely is growing. Russia it seems pretty clear, does not want s. war and will do her best to keep out of one: she is anxious to complete her present Plan and the next one, and seeks no weakening external dis- fractions. But what Russia wishes and what Japan intends are not necessarily compatible. If Japanese forces in Msnchuria, where the at- mosphere is growing still more in-

ritory the Soviet would be forced to

It is up to us to see the youth of the country encouraged to exercise their minds and blow off steam, and help them to grow up good sports. It would be a fine lthing if all who are amociated to- gether for games were also asso- ciated in some form of service. I wonder, too, if the staffs of our great business houses, insurance offices and banks might not make themselves corporately responsible for some form of individual ser- ivice that would enlarge the oppor- tunities of boys and girls. We are not here to consider how indus- trial or political action can help us in our present difficulties. We are here to consider how we ourselves can help each other. and I am sure there is a lot that can be done."

rout: ANNUAL VACATION

It is said that it is the mm who needs a vacation least is the one who thinks he needs it most, where- as the one who thinks he needs it least is the one who needs it moot. However there is no question a- bout it anymore; everybody needs a vacation. Not perhaps the vaca- tion you may have in mind, but a vacation nevertheless. In other words a vacation may be easily fli- terpreted as simply vacating, leav- ing vacant you usual plam of work or abode and putting yourself-mind and body-somewhere else.

The very fact that you are l- Wl-Y from your usual surroundings with their cares, worries, and ob- ligatlons, and that your mind and body is occupied with other things, is just what 1s needed by that mind and body of yours. .

The ideal vacation, as I've men- tioned before, is tryingfb do at vacation time exactly what you've been planning the rest of the yea-r, that you would do at your vacation time. It is this uulfillmcnt of de- sire’ that makes this life of ours seem just that much more worth while.

Perhaps you have always wanted to do some certain thing, or go to some certain place, and while the actual realizaton of your desire may not be just up to all that you expected, nevertheless it has releas- ed or let loose something that you felt was binding you before.

Until a few years ago, everything for the vacation was considered from the standpoint of Just what it would do to that body of yours; give you some color, enrich your biood,rcst your body, improve your appetite. The vacation did th's all right and still will do it, but think- ing people now recognize that it is the effect upon the mind that is most important from the health standpoint.

If the mind gets free from worry, from routine duties, from the same- everything-food, street cars, automobiles, noise,-s.nd the brain through eyes, ears, nose, and tongue bv reason of a. vaca- tion gets an entirely new set of sensations,‘ these sensations react ‘upon every part of the body. They recreate the individual as it were; thus a real vacation is recreation.- Now is the time then for those of us who get our vacaton during July and August to be planning Just what we are go‘ng to do to get the most out of it.

It should mean plenty of rest the first two or three days, then some form of activity until the last couple of days, when rest should again be taken.

Above all, try to get. a complete change.

A SUGGESTION 0F HOPE

Sin-Many attempts have been made to diagnose our 500181 and economic ills, and amid the con- flicting opinions of so-called spu- ialists-bankers, economists, busin- ess men and parliamentarians - it may be presumptuous for a, mere pat-pop to exprws an opinion, yet he ventures to assert that some- when, somehow the causes for the present depression are mostly moral not material.

The earth has not failed us. It mu brings forth bountifulli- ‘film is enough. and to ANN. 0f 0W1’!- thing to satisfy every human bled.

We have been fooling with lie ten commandments, and, It i a pastime that cannot be indulged in without appalling ces consequences which have been ac cumulating and from which p] Ir. now suffering. When men in gabil life of the widest experience. Idol as Sir Willmott Lewis, G0!!!)mid- ent for the London Time h Wish- ington, warned the members of the Canadian Daily Newspaper 5mm- aton in Toronto that “previous civ- ilizations had oollapsed because of their lack of moral principles" and urged them to "remember that there is nothing more certain upon any reading of h‘story, than that with- out moral principles we are losta” when a man of the eminence of Sir Josiah Stamp clearly indicated in a recent address at Ottawa that there was no hope of ultimate re- oovery without a recognition of spin ltual verlties in life, when one of the most outstanding lawyers in New York told a group of his fellow citizens that he could sec no relief untl men got on their knees and confessed their sins unto God; when our own Senator Hughes in a. re- markable address told his fellow Senators that one of the causes of the present depress'on was forget- fulness of God; when the Prime Minister at. a notable gathering last autumn stated that nothing but the grace of God could save the world: a statement which the leader of the opposition did not qualify in a speech in the House of Commons but indirectly approved-then a Preacher need not apologize when he suggests that our people should repent and tum unto God. ‘ To beget a, change of mind which Yepentance means, it is not. enough that the people should flock in in- creasing numbers to their respective churches — commendable as this would be. The vision which the writer has before him is the get- tins tozether of all people of good- will in nubile assembly. either in church, or hall, or in the open a'r: in every hamlet, town and city where by song, by prayer and ex- hortatlon they might receive the quickening, the uplift, tho comfort, the changing mind that comes from the union of hearts in common worship. I One of the most inspiring and Pithetic sights stored away in my memory was a gathering of thou. sands of people-meld weekly-in st. George's Square, Liverpool,-who met, in a. time of depression to sing, not Jinziins doezem, but the great hymns of the church universal. The Wor were there in great numbers ragged, pfnched and wan, but as they sang-and how gloriously they sang-their faces for the while were lit by a celestial fire. Something of this kind is what I crave to see, and without obtruding our creeds and ecclesiastical theories, surely the best minds in all the churches throughout the land-United Church Anglican, Presbyterian, Baptist, and Roman Catholic-can plan a wny whereby this may be accomplished. If not, then the chrlsilanlty repre- sented by the churches is a ghastly caricature of Him who came to shed abroad a spirit of love and mutual helpfulness.
