Larger and handsomer Churches raise their spires against the city's skyline; Sunday Schools. grow from rather sketchy ap- pendices into occupation of entire buildings that from first floor to attic reveal service and money consecrated to Ghristian youth, The accustomed round, but yet what routine in the world is dearer than that of a loved Church? Its Sabbaths when deep-toned bells invite families and the strangers within the city's gates to "go up to the House of the Lord;" its special "days"--the harvest festi- vals that dream of far off ages when the first fruits were offered on altars of stone. -- But amongst all these varied activities, there is one that the flaming unrest of life today seems prone to forget--the weekly prayer meeting. How few young people gather for these homely communions of devoted hearts. flow few, in fact, are those who do appear for song, prayer, scripture reading and, perhaps, a word of fervent testimony or earnest counsel, Yet, it has been said by the greatest religious thinkers, the strength of a Church is the strength of its weekly prayer meetings. Tt might be added, too, that the strength of a city is proportionate to its prayers and the number that utter them, Praying, apart from its other sacred aspects, is remembering God. Oshawa, counting over its jewels of industry and progress: should make serious search for the chief of them all which shines with heaven's high radiance in the quality of being God-fear- ing. The God-fearing remember to pray. FOOLISH STUNT FLYING - Those days when two oceans were being searched for seven missing transoceanic planes produced much sentinient in favour of some regulation of oversea airplane stunt flying. Two reasons were advanced in' support of such regulation. Some advocates were actu- atéd by a humane desiré to prevent further sacrifice of human life. Others were moved to demand regulatory measures by the know- ledge that in the search for the Dole fliers alone 3,000 men and $20,000,000 worth of ships wepe used at great cost. Humanity compels the navy and all ships within reach to "stand by" when other ships ' {THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1927 luckless aviators out of limitless waters, » public came iiito the right to interpose an objection and to demand {that transoceanic fliers provide: their own rescuers or submit to some regulation. : But'will the government regulate them? If the fliers were determined te "take off" for parts unknown, it would take a larger force of agents than the prohibition enforcement squad to ferret out their secret starting-point, And laws against transoceanic flying would not ab- rogate the law of the sea which makes the ship turn back to aid another in distress, 18 THIS THE SPARK? Though it has been weeks since Fasgist Italy has, with her usual braggadocio, "warned" or threatened the world, and "the boot" seems to be peacefully at work from toe to strap, the outside 'world cannot help suspecting that be- neath her calm exterior Italy has her mind on war and is setting her house in order for * an inevitable stormy future of her own making. Mussolini has repeatedly warned other na- tions that Italy would not countenance even gestures 'against its political entity and has threatened summary action against any nation opposing Italy's will, which is his will imposed upon Italy, The grandiose dictator has frequently assert- ed that fasdism will permit nothing to stand in the way of Italy's return to its ancient grandeur, power and world leadership, He even demands: of the world that it publicly con- fess Italy's superiority to most nations and equality in all sespects with the foremost world powers, Other nations have not disputed Italy's right to regain a place in the sun, Historians and and students, though they have not approved of the high-handed methods used, have watched the experiment in Italy with interest and re- spect, Yet statesmen and the world in gen- eral, including many Italians, have watched fascism with no little apprehension, for Mus- solini by word and deed has betrayed a con- viction that Italy faces war in the not distant future and a hope that Italy may soon again duplicate the conquests of the Caesars, Is the new "Mussolini Code," which theore- tically makes every living soul in the universe amenable to Italian criminal law, designed to be the spark to set off the tinder box? Or has it been designed for application once the con- flagration that Italy holds to be inevitable has come to pass? WIDER CHURCH UNION However far'the Church of England in Can- ada may be separated from basic union with the United Church of Canada, there is unity in the very fact that Rev. Dr. James Endicott, moderator of the General Council of the United Church, addressed the General Synod of the Anglican faith in Canada at Kingston this week, and his suggestions were received with warm cordiality, This is neither the time nor the place to dis- cuss the advisability of such a union, but what Christian idealist is there who will not feel a glow at the challenge of such a hope? The world today is not so much concerned with this Creed or that as it is with St. Thomas' cry, uttered nearly two thousand years before its time, "Lord I believe, help Thou my unbelief I" Faith is civilization's need today, not Faiths; the latter have sent countless thousands to par- tisan tombs; the former, alone, can go into that unrelieved shadow which men call death and emerge, triumphant, in the Light of that world where the solitude of souls is broken by the joy of being "known even as we are also known.

When history repeats itself it sometimes makes more noise than it did the first time. You can't convince the men who take up tickets in the movies that marriage makes two people one. Fishermen will téke a chance, even if there are in distress and to go to the rescue of per- sons adrift on the ocean, but it is a decided im- position upon them when hairbrained individ- vals fling themselves into ocean spaces without suitable equipment or experience.

"ilk \ WHAT OTHERS SAY THAT KIND OF A DINNER (Chicago Tribune) She had been asked to dinner at the hame of a new neighbor. When she returned, some one said: "How was the dinner--all right?' She he- sitated: a moment thoughtfully and then replied: "Well, it was the kind of a meal you look for a paper nap- kin with." "a IF AND WHEN (The Fourth Estate) This is am era of publicity, and the slogan is "tell it to the world." The most effective way to do it is through paid advertising in news- papers.

The lady, whe is tremendously wealthy, probably realizes now that all eiti- zens are equal hefore the law in England, and that neither title nor money entitles a person to infringe upon the rights of others or im- peril the life of the humblest citi- zen. British law is made to he ob- served and knows no favorites, That is why it is respected. CANCELLING LICENSES (Brantford Expositor) An Oshawa motorist who was re- leased a short time ago after serv- ing a term in jail for driving a car while Intoxicated, appeared a few days later on a similar charge. He | pleaded guilty, and was sentenced | to 40-days at hard labor. It is pre- 'sumable that he will appear again charged with the same offense There is something radically wrong when a motorist can retain his 1i- cense under such circumstances and jeopardize the lives of those on the highway. The licenses of those con- victed of driving while intoxicated ought to be cancelled for a long term, NO WONDER THEY FLED (K. K. K. in New York Evening work) I heard an echo of the dancing masters' convention which was held recently at the Waldorf-Astoria, Two of the "masters of the dance' from Georgia invited two New York girls to have luncheon with them at the hotel. When the young women ar- rived for the little informal func- tion they were amazed to find their escorts in evening dress--tail coats and white ties, of course--although it'was 'barely 1 o'clock in the after- noon. Whether the 'gentlemen from Georgia™ had been giving an exhi- bition in the ball room or whether they thought full dress was "de rigueur" at high noon is something their two 'guests will never know. For 'they fled, without even an apo- logy, when they saw their hosts. SIR HENRY AND TiiE NATIONALS (Toronto Star) To most people ra Canada and many outside of Canada the words Canadian National immediately sug- gest one or both of two great insti- tutions; the one an exhibition, the other a railroad. The greatest public ownership city in Canada welcomed to the Canadian National Exhibition the president of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, the greatest public- ly owned system in the world. Late in 1922 Sir Henry Thornton assumed control. In that year the deficit was $58,000,000; in 1923 $52,000,000; in 1924 $56,000,000; in 1925, $42,000,000; in 1926 only EX-HAISER SENDS MESSAGE T0 CHIEF Von Hindenburg Receives a Telegram on Occasion of | Dedication Ceremony f Berliin, Sept. 21.--The monarchist newspaper Kreutz Zeitung says that the former Kaiser signing himself William, Emperor and King, telegraph- ed President Von Hindenburg on the dedication of the battle monument at Tannenberg Sunday.
