Livingston's, Brock St. A CONPREIENSIE CHACH ONLY ONE THAT OAN REACH WHOLE COMMUNITY Need of Union Felt In the Country-- Various Needs For Different Peo- ple--View of Bishop du Vernet. F. H. Du Vernet, Archbishop of Caledonia and Metropolitan of British Columbia, writes: 3 If an institution is a means to an end rather than an end in itself it must be adopted to the work it has been organized to perform. If the Church of Christ is to per- ' form the work for which it was com- missioned and inspire with the Spirit of Christ all classes, races and nat- ions in the world, it must be a truly catholic church, not only in name but in the variety of the struc- tural and functional elements which it comprehends. Only a compre hensive church can reach the whole community. " While the essential trutH to be pro- claimed may be the same, the way of putting it must differ with every race of people and every type of character. While the object of wor- ship way be the same, the method of worship which best appeals to one type of mind will differ from that which best appeals to another type of mind among the members of the same. family. Never was there a greater psychological blunder than to try and force a uniform style of religious service upon all classes in the community. Absolute uniform- ity is a human impossibility. As we survey the mixture of races in our land, as" well as think of the variety of classes among our people, the truth is borne in upon us with irrestible force that only a compre- hensive «church can reach the whole community. : It is in the sparsely settled dis- tricts that the need 6f church union is most acutely felt. Often a com- munity of about three hundred people has three or four churches while another community not fifty miles away is entirely destitute of religious services. This cannot be in accordance with the Spirit of Christ. In British Columbia the Anglican Provincial Synod and the Presbyter- fan Provincial Symdd have recently . approved in general terms of the re- port of a joint-committee favoring a measure of co-operation in new and sparsely settled districts, All the Anglican shops of the province are members of this committee. Each communion reserves the right to send a clergyman from time to time into such districts to administer the Sacraments to its own people. In cases of sparsely settled districts where missionaries of both cont mended that services be held either cn different Sundays, or at different hours on the same Sundays go as to avoid apparent conflict. Already in the northern part of the province ~ this plan is working well. + We need every sfyle of public wor- 'ship from that of an informal cottage meeting to that of a stately cathedral service. v There is no valid reason why There chureh, at 8 a.m. on Sunday the Holy Communion according to the rite of the Anglican Church, at 11 a. m. a service according to the custom of the Presbyterian Church, and at 7 P.. m. another service according to the style of the Methodist Church. The different methods of present- ing the same Truth, and the different modes of worshipping the same God, which prevail in the different Prot- e€siant Communions have their neces- sary funetions to perform, but this should be, not in competition one with another, but in co-operation and co-ordination one with another. In other words, the different members should function as one Comprehen- sive Church. "We being many are one Body in Christ." Tips To Housewives. Lemon juice will improve the fla- vor of stewed figs.

While water is not only the most important liquid maintaining life but is also the greatest solvent we possess, yet alcohol is likewise a great solvent; many of the substan- ces which it dissolves being those which are very slightly soluble In wa- ter, and it is of great use in this respect.

It is only because the denaturant of the rebate of taxes that denaturants are used. It is perhaps not realized by people generally that alcohol is of great use for medical purposes. Not only fis it very valuable for bathing purposes in cases of fever, but ether and chlor- oform, the chief anesthetics, as well as lodoform and other disinfectants, are made from it. A number of different substances, some liquid, some solid, are on ac- count of certain properties in com- mon classed, by chemists, as alcohols, Ordinary alcohol 4s distinguished by the name Ethyl alcohol. Wood al- cobol, made by distilling wood (heat- Ing wood without allowing air to get at it and thus preventing its burn- ing) is called methyl alcohol.

Alcohol is used not only in the manufacture of explosives, of dyes, of lacquers, enamels and airo- plane dopes, of drugs and chemicals almost without number and often of almost unpronounceable mames, but also in the manufacture of transpar- ent soap, of laundry starches, of photographic films plates, and papers of shoe polishes and for the extrac- tion of vanilla, lemon, peppermint and other flavorings, - In all cases where alcohol remains in the final product of course the tax should be retained based on the quantity of alcohol but in other cases as much freedom: as possible should be given, The restrictions that have been put upon the use of alcohol in Canada have placed our industries at a disadvantage as compared with those of the Unitéd States. It is to be hoped that we may be put in at least as good a position and that whatever liberty consistent with the cause of temperance can be granted will be allowed. alcohol is lighter and more volatile than ethyl alcohol, and is poisonous. It has therefore been suggested, that the word alcohol should not be per- mitted in labels for containers 'of wood alcohol lest the thirsty soul at- tracted by the word "alcohol" should ignore the prefix "wood." The name "wood naphtha" has been proposed as a substitute. Methylated spirits is ordinary ethyl alcohol with enough methyl alcohol added to make it undrinkable. Since the advent of prohihition especially, there have been a number of deaths caused by the drinking of methylated spirits. Methylated spirits is fre- quently used in hospitals for bathing purposes, and while less poisonous in this way than when taken intern- ally, it has an injurious action especi- ally upon the eyes and is hurtful to patient and to nurse. In other words, a quantity taken internally would kill, when taken externally only dis- tresses. But with good alcohol ten times the price of methylated spirits few patients in the public wards are likelx to be bathed with the former. In order that a substance shall be suitable denaturant it must be dif- ficult to separate from alcohol, other- wise the chemist could only buy de- natured alcohol cheaply and obtain pure alcobol from it.
