M. Schrader. It shows, among other things, that in 1935, 9573 per person was paid for food, being 24 per cent of the per capita disposable income for that year. During the next 17 years the annual per capita expenditure for food ,rose until it reached 35245 in 1951, this rep- resenting 23 per cent of the disposable in- come. The actual expenditure for food per per- son increased by 236 per cent from 1935 to 1951 and the food price index by 150 per cent. This would indicate larger quant- ities were consumed and higher quality no doubt also is involved. Department's The statistics, comments the its present name was adopted in 1048.

It. is. noteworthy that St. Paul puts joy as second only to love itself among all the fruits round looking as if they wished they were dead, and thus making life miserable for themselves as well as for others, are not relig- ious whatever else they may be. There are, of course, many people in all walks of life who find Joy in their religion and who man- ifest it. in their social relation- ships. They are the salt. of the earth. They are especially so when they possess wide intellect- ual attainments in addition to their faith. Not. that scholarship is essential to religion. bur. 1 am sure it. can be helpful to it. for He who made the soul made the mind also. so much by way of preamble to what follows. . . . Recently we had as our guest 3 Christian minister from the East.- ern United States. I do not. men- tion his name or his denomina- tional affiliation, for neither :5 important. for the purpose of this article. He is 78 years old and semi-retired. I met. him some years ago and, although there is considerable difference in our ages, and B. little in our theolog- ical outlooks, we became very close friends. When I invited him to come and spend some time with us I told him that no man should allow himself to pass the tour- score mark without seeing for himself the natural beauties and ' -' ll of this Island. Besides, I wanted to experience again the intellectual and spiritual fellow- ship we had enjoyed in other days. No sooner had hr. set, foot. on our noll than he. began to realize the truth contained in the first part of my invitation. Time and again as we came over the road from Borden he expressed amaze- ment at. the Island's beauty and charm. "I haven't. seen anything like it in all my travels,” he would any. The thing that. im- pressed him most. was the great proportion of land under cultiva- tion and the orderly way it is ar- ranged. This is indeed one of the Island's chief attractions which probably passes unnoticed by people who live here all the time. 0 I 0 Intellectual and spiritual fel- lowship in, I think, one of the supreme pleasures that the hu- man mind can experience. Doubt- less, it does not mean the same thing for everybody, but I am sure there is no one who is not the better for it. In a sense that kind of kinship must be every bit. as precious as kinship of birth. Now that our guest has gone back to his home. and therefore is unable to reprimand me. it. is perfectly safe for me to cite him as a living illustration of the fact that religion need not be dull. I can truly say that I have nev- er met. 3 more religious man. and I doubt if any such is to be found. His faith 1.!
