when one realizes the historic splendor and the present power of this truly great church, one can imagine the importance of its de- iiberations and conclusions to a young nation like our own.

The fact that our own Bishops Beverley ii.nd Wilkinson were in attendance means that our entire religious community will benefit by the inspiration and instruction that the Congress brink!-

At the same time. in Princeton, New Jersey. "the Alliance of Re- formed Churches throughout the world holding the Presbyterian system" has been in session.

They are the churches which trace their peculiar form of doc- trine and policy back to the Refor- mation and to the undivided church of ancient days.

The thought and activity of men like John Calvin and John Knox and their associates gave the church new light and life, and s new start on her divine mission. For years the heads of this or- ganization have been preparing for this meeting. As the Presby- terian Church in Canada and the United Church of Canada are both members of this Alliance, their representatives have had a share in this preparation.

For example. a group in Toronto led by Professors Couslend and

state. and Dr. 0. I. J. Oragg of Kingston has led a group of echo- lars from Kingston and Montreal in a study of "The Church's Inner Life."

Dr. Greg was one of two chair- man of he group which at Princeton" dealt with material on this theme from similar groups all over the world; his teammate was a distinguished churchmen from Hungary. Church leaders from In- die. south Africa, Australia and New Zealand have been active in these and other studies bearing on the doc ins and policy, the mes- sage an ministries of Reformed Churches, so that their conclu- sions will affect congregations in all part of the world.

I O I

Members of these two bodies will be constituent members of the World Council of Churches now in session in llvanaton. Its sub- ject is "Jesus Christ. the Hope of the World."

We find in the report of their

advisory commission the following statement of the need for such a study: "Multitudes ask themselves, -- 'What is coming to the world? What is in front of us? What may we look forward to? The answer to those questions has been given to us from the Gospel.

"To those who ask. - iwhat is coming to the world?” we answer. - 'l-iis Kingdom is coming! To those who ask. - 'Whst is in front of us?' we answer.-'It is He. the King who confronts ue.'

"To those who ask. 'What may we look forward to?” We answer that we face not a trackless waste of unfilled time with an end that none dare to predict; we face our living Lord. our Judge and Saviour. He who was deed and is alive for evermarc. He who come and is coming and will reign for ever and ever.

"It may be that we face tribu- lation; indeed we must certainly face it if we would be partekers with Him. But we know His word. His Kingly .word: we of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

To have a gathering of this di- mension rind variety deal in this spirit with the place of Jesus Christ in world history and in be- lieving men promises much for the future.

They must deal with the ques- tion of Christian re-union when considering Christ as the Church's Head and King. As a matter of fact. this Ecum llcal movement is leading each of the churches con- ferring to examine anew its own spiritual heritage and the founda- tions of its faith.

This they are doing. not, as in former days. to confute others. but to review and restate its distinc- tive contribution to the church of the future. Whatever form the

church relationships of the future may take. each must bring in its full treasure of truth and right. so that all that has been gained in

may have been studying the po- iition of the Reformed churches on the relations of church and

the experiences of the past may add to the churchis resources for the future.

Strange But True

By I. K. MacArthur

Every country home boasted an herb garden and it was the per- ticuier province of every house- wife to grow herbs and store them away for cooking and medicine during the long winter months. it is interesting to note that a coun- try house in those days was al- most entirely aelf-supporting. pro- ducing its own fuel and lighting. its clothes and medicine and rely- ing for most of its food on its own fsrtils field: and stockyards. The winter stores had to be carefully planned and prepared prior to the advent of old man winter, for a remote home -- and there were many such - might easily be cut off for weeks on end in bad wea- ther when the atrocious state of the roads made travelling just a- bout impossible.

Just think of what work must have been involved in running a farm home without a single labor saving device to help in it or near- by shops io supply a sudden lean period. Everything was done by hand from beginning to end, and everything that was done had to be supervised by the farmer's wife who needed far more than a theoretical knowledge to keep the wheels of her household running

smoothly.

Every fall and spring hams wci-c smoked and bacon cured, Jjtilc kegs of fat herrings were salted down and fruit sliced, strung on strings and hung up to dry. Herbs were dried or seasonings or medi- cine. Bread had to be baked and butter churned the year round. and in some cellars casks of home-madc apple cider awaited anyone who developed a sudden thirst.

In the kitchen, fais were pui. aside for the making of candles and for soap. Feathers from the poultry yard were cured for pil- lows and mattresses. and the spin- ning wheel came in for its share of work, especially during the winter months.

In those days clothes were stored for a couple of weeks or more before washing. Then it really was "blue Monday" when the house- wife tackled the job.

In addition to all this there was the upbringing of the children. usually a pretty big brood too. A mother then had to know how to care for simple ailments and, when necessary. to set a broken limb or dress a burn if. as frequently happened. no doctor could be had.

a e .

All this information was handed down from mother to daughter. Many of these were strange and half-magical prescriptions. ingredi- ents of which had to be gathered only in certain quarters of the moon, but not a few were based on good old horse sense and did their work well enough if the disease was not of a serious nature, and some of them are still used suc- cessfully in Island districts today.

Women spent long hours knitting and doing other kinds of needle- work. Liitle girls began their edu- cation by making samples on which they practiced the delicate and intricate stitches that they would use later when they had homes of their own.
