The usual place for it to meet heretofore was St. Stephen's Church. The historic church of that city was the Old Scots' Church, founded by the pio- neer Presbyterian Dr. Lang in 1826. He had been in the country three years before the church was opened. It stood as a quaint landmark in the city until it had reached its hundredth anniversary. and then was demolished to make way for the City Railway. The congregation will in the future worship in the new Assembly Hall, which seats 1,250 persons. The minister is Rev. H, R. Grassick. The General As- sembly of New South Wales met for the first time on September 9 in this building. There was a memor- able ceremony held to mark the oc- cagion. As usual the meeting was constituted in St. Stephen's Church, where for 65 years its annual ses- sions had been held, Warm thanks were tendered to the officials before the farewell was taken. A proces- sion was formed, the clergy in their gowns and academic hoods, and al) marched to the gates -of the new building. The Moderator, Rev! C. A.

Field Superintendent, Royal Templars of Temperance LYLE Every man and woman stands between two eternities--the past and the future. In each of us is implanted a natural tendency to be better than our forefathers. We should cultivate this tendency and make the utmost out of it Law of Nature It is a law of nature that like produces like. We would not ex- pect to find peaches growing on an apple tree, or thistles on a rose bush. Black parents will produce black children. White parents will produce white children, This fact establishes the law of heredity. Further it is a recognized fact that, in a broad sense, the qualities, ten- dencies and even habits of the par- ents are transmitted to their off- spring. The average child will de- velop any strength or weakness that one or both of its parents may pos- Ress. Thus we see that from one gen- eration to another, life passes in a continuous stream. The tendency to alcoholism is known to be trans- mittable and many men and women today are the victims of this death- dealing drug because of the habits of fathers and grandfathers. A Racial Poison Dr. C. W, Saleeby, one of the out- standing English scientists of our time, has included alcohol among the racial poisons, placing it in the same class as lead and venereal dis- ease. The late Dr. Ballantyne said, "Alcohol is a menace to child life in all stages of its existence, through either or both parents,' Many scientific writers of note claim that alcohol, taken freely and continuously, has the power of breaking through all the defensive barriers and producing the most profound effect upon the sex glands and consequent interference with the sperm or germ cells. 'In such cases," Dr. Courtney Weeks points out in 'Alcohol and Human Life,' "the alcohol causes degeneration of the protoplasm of the germ-plasm, and if the germ-plasm is not actual- ly destroyed, its architecture may | be so interferred with as to cause imperfect offspring in the next im- mediate generation, although the condition induced does not neces- sarily become hereditary and thus transmissible to successive genera- tions." "We believe," he says, "that alcohol in excess is a definite racial poison, inducing changes in the germ-plasm, which is transmissibte to succeeding gener='ions." Harmful to Offspring He sums the matter up thus: (1) That Alcohol can undoubted- ly injure not only the bearer or trustee of the germ cells, but also his or her immediate offspring, (2) That Alcohol can so modify the germ cells that succeeding gen- erations bear signs of degeneration which they in turn may pass on, Many interesting investigations have been carried on during the past 25 years demonstrating the ef- fect of alcohol on animals and the British Aleohol Investigation Com- mittee, in the last edition of ""Alco- hol, Its Action on the Human Or- ganism," makes the following pro- nouncement. "It has been shown by Stockard, in a series of experi- ments, that the offspring of alco- holized animals, in comparison with the young of control animals of the same stock, were conspicuously in- ferior in strength and vitality, ana in many instances presented gross abnormalities of organization. Effect Transmitted These bad effects were transmit- ted through several generations, and were indeed niore pronounced in the later generations than in the immediate offspring of the alcohol- ized parents. . . . These patient and carefully controlled experiments of Stockard have now for some years been available for criticfsm, and their soundness has not been called seriously into question. In their bearing on the results of parental alcoholism or the immediate off- spring, their significance is clear: persistent alcoholic excess, whether in father or mother, diminishes fe- cundity and increases the liability to still-births and to the production of weakly and defective offspring It seems further beyond doudt that this influence of alcohol on the germ-plasm is transmitted by here- dity to further generations not ex- posed to alcohol." Five-Sixths Abnormal The harm caused by alcohol is touched upon by Hobson in '"'Alco- hol and the Human Race" from an- other angle. He speaks of investi- gations carried on in different parts of the world and says, "In most of the cases families were chosen in which both parents were alcoholic, or one parent was an alcoholic, and the results compared with those of families living under other condi- tions more or less similar, in which both parents were total abstainers. In abstinent families, with alcohol- free heredity, nine out of ten chil- dren proved to be normal, the tenth being a little backward. Where both parents were alcoholic, five out of six of the children proved abnormal, evincing various forms of degenera- cy such as mental deficiency, hyste- ria, convulsions, epilepsy, feeble- mindedness, idiocy, or insanity, many turning out to he impulsive degenerates, criminals, profligates and moral imbeciles. The mind cannot conceive the infinite tragedy of this." Two Great Aims Surely with such positive proo! of the harmful effects of alcohol we will all recognize that there are two great alms that we should al- ways keep in mind if we are desir- ous of benefiting the race: (1) To seek for every child born into the world, the best possible hereditary heritage. : (2) To surround the child with the best possible environment, in- structing him with the utmost care to avoid alcohol as a racial poison: The Church To read Old Country papers is to be struck with the new life among the people and the churches. The last issue of a Scottish weekly shows that the spirit has seized the north of Britain, The expec- tancy of results from the re-united Church of Scotland has not died out, but is gaining in interest, An article on the subject, "Has Scot- Jand Slept In," which is promised for next week, is the type of stirring words which fill its pages. The readers are confronted with what is called, "The Churchless Million," World Wide as if there was a time in that coun- try, called the Golden Age, when everybody had a church and was present there regularly. Then it {8 pointed out that as long as memory recalls there has been a host of non- church-goerg. There is no inten- tion, however, to shelve the subject by such an excuge., At Dunblane, a conference of leaders from the Church of Scotland was held which has started a "Forward Movement.' Foundation work, such as gathering facts and making surveys, will be immediately started, which will viet Government urgently needs cash, ready cash for the service of the only god that it now worships --Mechanization. 'To this god the Russians on bended knees have promised all things,' according to The Review of Reviews. "new steel plants and cotton mills and tractor factories, so that industrial produc- tion may have more than doubled by 1933; and the rule of the trac- tor and the combine on the land, with a crop increase of more than fifty per cent. by the end of those five years," The great religious fer- vor of which the Slavic soul is cap- able is now said to be absorbed by devotion to mechanization. "A ty- pical poster shows on the left a de- caying church and on the right a new tractor. In the tower of the church an old priest, with the tears the bells, but only a kulak and a | cripple are answering the call, The peasants in their bright clothes are | gathered round the tractor, where the machine's own priest, the dri ver, i8 explaining its works, and small boys' fingers are already ex ploring the wheels and gadgets." And whilst Soviet-ruled Russia is forcing to the utmost the export ot wheat, the stores are empty of fruit and vegetables and there is a piti ful scarcity of shoes and woollen coats as the northern cities tace the | freight | biter Russian winter. But cars are loaded with building ma- terials and credits are needed for the steel mills and tractor factories, 80 the cloth and shoe plants idle. And the answer of the new "yrants who rule is this "Soon, little brother, when the Five Year Plan is accomplished, your backs will be warm and your stom achs full. Work hard and let us export quickly, that the plan succeed." are tussia ee Se --------ee eee eesti lead to a great gathering in St. An. drew's Hall, Glasgow, during the last week of October, 1931.

What it is, as we have it in ous | own land, no combination of witch- | ing words that any man might use | could possibly describe. But any man who has seen it or felt it, tanding on a hillside deep in fallen oak and maple leaves, with the | glorious colors of the earlier weeks not quite dead, with a gentle west ern breeze fanning his cheek and | filling his soul with perfume, with | the cawing of the crows overhead |and chickadees busy among the [trees -around him and the blue-jays flinging their noisy challenge from the farther distance, will not need any magic words to help him to re- { member. The memories of Indian | Summer days are among the very | dear things that men never forget We thought we saw it coming the | other day, this Little Summer of the Angels, but we were not sure, | for it had hardly touched us before | it was gone again, and we are still hoping that a few more of those de- lightfully warm and sun-filled days may be ours before stern Winter takes up his reign, We know noth- ing of how the scientist or the wea- therman would explain Indian Sum- mer, or for what signs he might bid us look as a prophecy of its coming, but we are old-fashioned enough te believe that some great and good divine purpose is behind it. We would not be surprised if the God of the changing seasons and the passing years had some message of trust and peace and content to give us as the fields lie in quietness and rest, with their work all done, in the glory of the November after- noon. And we are sure that that same God who watches over great mes- sages to convey to us in the glorious Indian Summer - days, messages about summer-time and winter- time and the dear good things that never quite leave ug and the other dear and good things that are sure to come again, Summer has gone, has been gone, for weeks, but sure- ly it hasn't been very far away, for here it is back again with an added glory and beauty that August never knew. And the Summer that can come back 'in November must just be hiding around some convenient corner waiting an opportunity to visit us again, And life will never be so drear or wintry or pregnant with storms but what there will come right into the heart of it that Little Summer of the Angels with its warmth and beauty and glorious sunshine.
