Hi Every person, who is convicted of criminal negli- gence in the driving of an auto, should be ¢ompelled to read an article under the : heading--*'and Sudden Death' --that appeared in the August issue of the Readers Digest. The world is nervous lest there should be war be- -tween Italy and Ethiopia, Yet, in the United States, last year there were almost a million motoring injuries and 36,000 deaths. The motorists who cause these ac- cidents seldom begin to realize the long agonies of the victims, caused by the iaveiessness or cussedness of the offending motorists, "and Sudden Death" graphically describes those agonies; but adds; "No artist, working on a safety poster, would dare depict that in full detail." Perhaps it will be sufficient for our purpose. to quote these two concluding paragraphs;-- "Every time you pass on a blind curve; every time you hit it up on a slippery road; every time you ---5tep 9: {uv harder than your reflexes will safely take; every time you drive with your reaciions slowed down by a drink or two; every time you follow the man ahead too closely; you're gambling a few sec- onds against this kind of blood and agony and sud- den death. a "Take a look at yourself as the man in the white - jacket shakes his head over you, tells the boys not - to bother; turns away to somebody else who isn t quite dead yet.

My heart is of steel, my limbs are of iron, and my fin- gers are of brass. I sing the song of the world, the ora- tories of history, the symphonies of all time, I am the voice of today, the herald of tomorrow, I weave into the warp of the past and the woof of the future. I tell the stories of peace and war alike, I make the human heart beat with passion or tenderness. I stir the _pulse of nations, and make brave men do brave deeds, and Beldiors die. I inspire the midnight {oiler, weary at his loom, to lift his head again and gaze, with fearfulness, into the vast beyond, seeking the consolation of a hope eternal" When I speak a myriad of people listen to my voice. The Anglo- Saxon, the, Celt, the Hun, the Slav, the Hindu, all comprehend me. I am the tireless clarion of the news. I ery your joys and sorrows every hour. I fill the dullard's mind with thoughts uplifting. I am light, knowledge, power. I epitomize the conquests of mind over matter. I am the record of all things mankind has achieved.

ALBERT Owing to the very warm weather, the church service was held in the basement on Sunday morning. We listened to another beneficial sermon from Rev. F. Waite, on "Building of Character", the text being Ephesians 2:20-22, One noteworthy illustration was_a contrast between the Poplar and Ash trees. The poplar is the first to be in full dress array in spring, while the ash starts with only a few leaves at the top, then the leaves gradually | creep, "down the tree, seem- ingly to be cautious lest the frost nip them. But. when the dry weather comes, the poplar is the first to give up the fight for life while the ash still retains a certain freshness. The reason for this is that the ash has a tap root going "far down into the ground to obtain its food and thug has. a firm foundation. forth surface roots over a large area but with little foundation. So it is with human character, it should have a good foundation and not concentrate too much on outward appearances. Mr.'and Mrs. G. Lyle, of Toronto, spent-a few days with Mrs. N.

Miss Lillian Murphy , 'received a most interesting letter from Miss S. Laird recently. The following are extracts from it written on board S.S. President Jefferson "Now, I really believe I am going to the Orient, see- ing that we have been almost a week on the Pacific so far. It takes two weeks to cross. To-day we are pass- tng the Aleutian Islands which stretch out about eight hundred miles' from Alaska, We are taking the northern route which keeps us chilly for several days. The mountains on the islands are all capped with snow, making a very. beautifal picture. There are whales spouting in_various places, but one can't observe them. very minutely. "I believe I am very fortunate in meeting so many interesting people. There are two other Canadian women beside myself, one, a Miss Smith (the Smiths we have always with us.) "I was lucky in getting to Victoria in time, for there had been serious washouts and wrecks in a great many places across the continent. Twenty Americans missed the ship. Several others came to Seattle by aeroplane. "Most of the crew is Chinese-- Cantonese--graceful, efficient fellows they are. 'They wear a smock affair and soft flat slippers. "We stopped at Jasper on the way out by train, so I took a run out through the mountains, a short way out to the "Lodge" an interesting spot. "There are several people going to various places in connection with missionary work. "It is several days later now and we are beginning to look forward to landing. We are still able to get America on the radio--when the sea is smooth and one is indoors, it is hard to be- lieve we are out on the ocean.
