The brochure is entitled "A Word of Warning." _ This tirade against organized Chris- Yauiy and the formalities of the es- tablished churches already has had a bomb-shell effect in religious circles, and it is not unlikely, that the fam- ous author's criticisms will be replied to both in the press and in the pul- pt s His principal attack is levelled the Sacr s and the ritual, of Church services; and he asks, Has any heathen tribe anythi more fantastic than this in its ritual, and can we ever expect the affairs of this world to be normal while we profess to hold views in religion which no sane mind could justify If such things have come from the priesthood, then it is time that all priesthood should be swept away, and that the community -- take their religious affairs into their hands, ings' "Trappings" "Mankind must learn once for all that religion has nothing whatever to do with theological beliefs, or forms, or ceremonies, or priesthoods, or vest- ments, or sacraments, or any of the other trappings and ador s own The Orange Pekoe, at a little extra cost, is extra good AVENE 0 G0 Most Beautiful Trees in Eng. land Are to Be Cut Down London, March 5. -- The little vil- lage of Weston Underwood, twelve miles from Bedford, is mourning the threatened desecration of the shrine of its poet, William Cowper. When he left his home at Weston and wrote on the shutter of his house, "Farewell, dear scenes, for ever lost to me," little did he think that more than one hundred years later those scenes would be so changed, and that the trees in the park where he loved to roam, the whose stately length he paced alone to reach the Alcove, where he spent so Lime avenue, which have so covered it that we can no longer see it," Sir Arthur asserts.

Bouchard's criti- cism on Wednesday was made in the Legislative Assembly Thursday af- ternoon by Hon. J. E. Perrault, Min ister of Colonization, Mines and Fish- eries, who declared that the projected legislation would be a considerable improvement over the present condi- tions of the workers in the Province of Quehee In 1920 high insurance rates had prevented the enactment of the law, but the Government was now assured that the rates would be the same, save for a two per cent increase. While it decided to consider the worker as far as possible, sight must not be lost of the rights of the em- ployer. It was to be noted that the indemnities to a workman injured at his tasks were considerably increased under the new law, and that compul- sory insurance had been decreed by the Government for the protection of the workers of the province, A commission system of adminis- tration would not do away with the limitations as to indemnity and terms of rents, for it was not desirable to pay a permanent pension to an in- jured worker, who would normally be either young enough to readjust his life, or old enough to count on the help of his children after the prescribed period of indemnification payments, Against State Insurance Mr. Perault spoke against state in- surance, declaring that it had lost favor since 1915, and had failed since then to find any new recruit among the various states of the United States, Fear that the clause of the new act allowing settlement between the in- surer and the assured and injured worker might lead to abuses, was ex- pressed by Alderic Blain (Montreal, Dorion), who also pointed to the omission of the matter of occupa- tional diseases from the two projects before the House, for the Commission and the Act itself, tends special courtesies.

Speaking of "that august lady who was the mother of the greatest of mankind," he asks: If we wish to have an ideal of wo- manhood, why not Mary, the wife of Joseph, the hard-werking partner of a carpenter? But why in the name of sanity should we call her "The Virgin"? Are not the names of her children known? CRIME PUBLICITY BOTHERS QUEBEC Quebec, March 5--Religious societi- | es here have combined in a demand on Premier King for legislation which would oblige magistrates to sit hehind closed doors in sensational criminal cases, and would prohibit publication of any photograph without the con- sent of the parties interested.
