The seriousness of the situation is evident in the increase of illegitimacy from 19398 to 1941 of 10 per cent. in Canada, and the estimated deaths each year from syphilis is 6,000 to 12,000. Whereas in Sweden 4 in 100,000 have‘ syphilis, ir Ontario the rate is 175. The presbyâ€" tery stated that their mind is expressed in pronouncement of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, "‘The problem is moral as well as medical. ‘The chic cause of the spread of venereal discease is fornication. . On this the teaching of Christianity has always been clear ana uncompromising. It fully ‘recognizes that the right use of sex contributes to the hapripiness as well as to the life 0‘ human beings, but it demands that i should be treated with reverence and. respect. It therefore condemns forni-( cation as a sin, for it ‘misuses for 1 momentary pleasure what was intendâ€" ed both as an expression of abiding love and for creation of new life, It thus degrades personality. We therefore call upon all who claim to be followers of Christ to take their stand agains‘ this sin."

Few people have anyâ€" thing like a complete idea, for example of what is being accomplished by the several troops of Boy Scouts in Timâ€" mins.
