Many were present from othey congregations in town end from all parts of tne district. Dr. Clay dealt with condi- gions in the Presbyterian Church a! the present time and the outlook for the future and told his hearers hat even the fondest expectations of he leaders of the church had ex- ceeded. He expressed appreciation of the good will of other churches. Mentioping in particular services rendered by the Anglicans and Bap- ists, in sections where a congrega- tion had suffered, in opening their halls, for the use of the congrega- tion as a place of worship. The church had & hig task ahead' but it was being faced with, the utmost confidence and faith.

Prevailing Systems -- Tells of Indus- trial, Social, Political and Religious Aspects Existing in Country -- Diversity of Opinion : 353 Mary Street, Oshawa, Ont., October 10, 1927. Dear Sir: I wish to place before you a few brief comments on the general prc- vailing conditions of my native coun- try, Scotland, dealing with the indus- trial, social, political and religious as- pects of these prevailing conditions. As in all questions, there is consider- able diversity of opinion in Scotland about all of these subjects. With re gard to the industrial, we have some who speak of the industries as deplor- able, while others, and among them the Premier, speak of them as show- ing signs of revival. It is to be hoped that his and their optimism will bear fruit, for in all conscience the country needs something to pull it together. Take any of the key industries such as coal mining or shipbuilding. Thers are hundreds of thousands of able- bodied men, able and willing to work, who have been idle not for weeks or months, but actually for years. How do these men live? The extreme soci- alist answers the question by saying-- they don't live, they simply exist. To maintain this large army of un- employed there are two systems of giving relief. The Government and the local or Parish system;: But the relief, while it' burdens the country with taxes, is only a mere pittance, It will be known to you, sir. T doubt not that Great Britain, of which Scotland forms a part, is the most heavily taxed country in the world. The heavy tax- ation 1s said to be one of the causes, if not the chief cause, of the depres- sion of the leading industries. Every- one recognizes the cause but are un- able to agree abotit its cure. Large combines of employers and workmen are at perpetual variance about the remedies that should be adopted. As has been noted in your valuable paper, Mr. Ramsay McDonald, the leader of the opposition in the Government of the country, has made "The Nationali- p Opening Announcement--- General Grocery and.

The social conditions are largely af- fected by the industrial conditions as ined. It is said by some that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. There is little intercourse between different sec- tions of the people. The monied class look with scorn upon those who lack party have their largest following. Among them and out of them comes the "Communist," and so they have in the Socialist party "the Red Ele- ment" which is a cause of great trouble to the recognized Socialist party. The communist is the most intolerant party. If a Conservative speaker comes into a district where they predominate he is not even given a hearing, while the speakers of their own party is listened to with absolute silence, however ridit- prom ry Sp----y-- ulous his speech may be. The mere he villifies the employing classes, the more he is appreciated. The Soeialist sees little difference between the Con- servatives and the Libérals, and to the Socialist or Conservative there is a continual drift from the Liberal party which was once the greatest of the three, as recently as immediately be fore the Great War of 1914. There are many religious communi- ties in -Scotland, but the state aided church is still the predominant com- it. Betwgen the two extremes of rich and poor there are a great many divi sions or sections, all claiming their share of deference from those a little lower in the social scale. Of necessity the lower classes: must defer but they do it with 'a grudge akin to hatred, although they must not show it openly. A field is provided for the political agitator of which he makes the most, augmenting the discontent and griev- ance 'of the poorly paid worker, and it is from this source the Socialist SE munity. At present there is an at- tempt being made to bring together the three largest congregations, viz. the Established (or state aided) and United acee Churches. rormerly these were the United Presbyterian and the Free Church of Scotland, but "while unity is being aimed at disintegration still goes on among the 'religious. Their name is legion. Scotland, however, still holds a leading place for sancti- tude, which is reflected in their inter- course with other peoples. Scotch- men are straight forward and honest, if proud and stubborn. Yours faithfully, "One of Them" JAMES DUNN.

"I can't even keep my own mea going:V No amount of pleading made any difference and the tramp turned sadly away. Then he stopped' 'Any rats on your farm?" he asked. "Hundreds," said the farmer, "Well," said the tramp, "I'll kill them for you." "That's a different matter. How much do you want?" The tramp's demands were mod- est. A good meal and a drink af- terwards. Full of food and drink, he lay back and puf his feet on the table. "What about killing the rats?" asked the farmer. "Right-o0," was the answer; "bring | them out!" ¥ -- he does. As a matter of fact, what is wanted is less interference by the | Government instead of more. It is| true the miners are working for low | wages while the owners say they are making not only no profits but are working the eollieries, many of them | at a loss. Something certainly re quires to be done, but the difficulty i to say what it is. At present, the mines are being worked on what is called, the cost of production basis. That is to say, 83% of the price obtained for the sale of the coal is distributed over the up- keep of the mines and miners' wages, and 17% to meet commercial expenses and profits to the owners. either of the parties are satisfied. The workers' leaders poinit otit hiaty anom- alies connected with the system, a case in point being: suppose a work- man gets injured. He draws com- pensation for a period. . The owners, through one of their agents, take up the argument that the man is now able to work and that no further com- pensation will be paid. The case is taken to court and whether the owner wins or loses the case the cost of the court proceedings is charged to cost of production, so that while the workers win or lose they always lose to the extent of the court costs. Then again, the workers' leaders point out that while the owner is losing money on his concern, he dies and leaves thousands or millions of pounds, What applies to mining applies also to shipbuilding. The owners of the shipbuilding yards say they cannot pay any higher wages because of the cost of production, and that the high cost of production has another effect. They cannot obtain orders to build ships be- cause of the high price they must charge to meet the cost of production. The result is that only two-thirds of the workmen are required, the other one-third being a burden on the rates. either local or otherwise. To meet some of the cost of maintenance, all workers with a pay of less than three hundred pounds a year must pay a fixed deduction from their wages to the government to secure them agains! unemployment. Should they be un- employed, they are paid a small fixed sum until they find employment. This is called being on the "dole." In the case of men with families the "dole" is supplemented by the parish up to a certain amount. And thus the poor (some say the miserable poor) exist.
