It is an institution for it never changesâ€"a few shiny store fronts, theatres and even traffic lights may modernize its surface, but the great generous kindly heart of it beats as steadily today as it did 50 to 100 years ago. ‘"The problems of existence are solved for them. The rate of wages, the hours of labor, the unâ€" earned increment, the rapacity of the monopolist, the wrongs of the toiler, the how! of the demagogue do not disturb them. They have ample leisure for intellectual culâ€" tivation â€" and _ development, for communion with nature and for contemplation of art, for the joys of home, but they remainâ€"Osage Indians." Senator Ingalls was making his point against the Populist Party in the 1890‘s. It is as true today as it was then. MAKE MAIN STREET YOUR CENTRE "‘The government takes care of their property, superintends their education and religion, provides food and clothing, protects the weak from the aggressions of the strong and abolishes, as far as it may, the injustices of destiny. All have equal rights; none has speâ€" gial privileges. They toil not, meither do they spin. For a picture of a socially seâ€" eured community it would be hard to beat that of Senator Ingalls of Social security plans all contain proposals that are worthwhile and, invariably, some weaknesses which indicate that a condition of ideal perfection is not around the next eorner. _ Enthusiasts _ for such schemes too frequently try to make it appear that the perfect world can be gained only by plan their planâ€"and refuse to accept the irrefutable facts of human nature.

The salesmen for the Fifth Vicâ€" tory Loan campaign which starts next Monday morning, will begin their duties of calling upon the people of this district to inquire how much you intend to give to the armed forces of Canada in "Speedâ€" ing the Victory". Theirs is a big task, and the time for completing it is short. Airgraphs are also widely used. Each letter is photographed on microâ€"film, and on arrival a phoâ€" tographic enlargement of the letâ€" ter is made and forwarded to the addressce.

Welcomeithe Visits of the Victory Loan Salesmen While there are casualties in the mail, some remarkable salvage exâ€" ploits are recounted. For example, divers recovered forty sacks of mail from a plane which crashed in the sea off Newfoundland in forty feet of water. At the New York City Army Post Office, the envelopes were spread on the floor for drying, and within a month‘s time all but 20 pounds of the 1,000 pounds of salvage mail has been reâ€"addressed, â€" reâ€"enveloped _ when necessary, and again sent on its way. 38 MAIN N.

GERRY Advert’l’l’i’n’g Mgr Free Pickâ€"up and Delivery | It was significant that without collusion or previous arrangements, the whole day presented a unity of ‘effort that was more than human. The only explanation for this lies 1in the fact that God‘s good Spirit ‘gunded speakers and hearers alike in the unfolding of His truth. In the morning the minister‘s subject was "The Conquest of Fear". It was based on a verse found in the Book of Revelations 1: 17, 18; "Fear not; I am the first and the last; I am He that liveth and was dead, and, behold, I am alive for evermore." At the evening service we were reminded by the speaker that "it was appointed unto man once to die, amr after death the judgment." In a broad general outâ€" line it was seen how that Christ, and Him alone, was sufficient for all the experiences of human life, life, death, and the judgment. How men can try to live without Him is a mystery, except that the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God should shine unto them". But what a help is He here and now as well as in the future. One is remindcd‘ of the words by Frances Ridley Havergal: \ "I could not do without Thee, O Saviour of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me, At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness and pardon, Thy sacrifice, must be, | My only hope, and comfort, | My glory, and my plea." | minister at the morning service,} |and â€" the _ strongly . evangelistic. | message given at night by hfr.

The services were well attended |and the consciousness of God‘s presence throughout the day made the day rich in inspiration and felâ€" lowship. The singing of the choir and soloists and that of the conâ€" ’gregation was hearty and spontanâ€" ‘eous and added greatly to the atâ€" mosphere of devotion and worship. In tKe call of worship at the mornâ€" ing worship we were reminded tol "Delight thyself in the Lord; and | He shall give thee the desires of | ' thine heart." One felt that this was | \done for we had a real delightfulf Jday in the Lord. | The Victory Loan salesmen have an appointment with you, and they want to know what you are going to do about "Speeding the Vicâ€" tory" of all those fine young lads and men who have left this disâ€" trict to fight for you. Lending money seems such a small thing in comparison to what they have given up and are enduring. There is not enough money in the whole of this district to pay for those splendid young men whose lives have been cut off so early. investment that can be turned into cash for postâ€"war buying. |â€"CHURCHES Last Sunday was another great day in the Weston Baptist church.

Good for what? A truly good man cannot be tied,. Like Daniel, or Paul, or Luther, he lives for his convicâ€" tions.

Young People‘s Services Well Attended Sunday As a final word of advice, don‘t add unnecessary handicaps to your reading. Be sure you have a clear, steady light; while reading fine print, give your eyes a rest by looking out the window for five or ten minutes. Be sure that your eyes are not straining to overcome a visual defect. Such an error causes headaches and discomfort and can be corrected by your Optoâ€" metrist. When your eyes move across a line of print, they move in jerks, taking in a group of words at each stop, or fixation. This is the "span of vision‘. By increasing the span of vision and decreasing the numâ€" ber of fixations, speed in reading can be greatly improved. Try to grasp ideas rather than individual words. Many of us still cling to the word for word method which we learned in childhood. This is often evidenced by a tendency to vocalize. Readâ€" ing should be largely a visual proâ€" cess. You see a word symbol and it clicks instantly in your brain. Vocalizing interrupts and slows the process. Reading clinics have found that reading speed can be increased from 230 words per minute to 500 words per minute by daily practice and simple rules. Reading is an art and if studied and practiced, can certainly be improved markedly in as short a time as a month. First try reading for a few minâ€" utes each day, faster than is comâ€" fortable. At first it will be hard to grasp the meaning but later you will be comprehending even more than when you started. of speed.
