The third way- was not passive as the first two, but an` active antagon- :1 ist to the things of the spirit. A ` man puts off being honest till he has! amassed enough wealth to enable` him to be honest without suffering or he procrastinates pure thinking till a later time. But a foul-minded or dishonest man is not made clean ual gifts with every one and not lose anything. The more one gives, the` more one has, and `the way to have is to give. vvv . . - u,_,1:L__ -...L_...1 . ~\.r b.~... We must `get spirituality central-;( ized in our educational programme. By somehow getting Christianity in- i to our educational system will we I capture the world of the future. I This will be` done, not necessarily by I interspe1'sing' mathematical periods I with precepts and maxims, but by ` putting a comradeship of Christian faith around the young" as they learn. The colleges are our great factories of leaders. They do not pay for themselves simply because the poor man's son would not have a chance to get an education` if the fees were high enough to pay even [for the heating and ligliting. In closing the speaker made a plea for subscriptions for the colleges of the church, which are so necessary to the development of missionaries and ministers.

Never was there a time when more `heroes were abroad than to-day. .The Great War proved that. Yet the world is so full of graft that it is almost a miracle of contradiction. Some one has said that we are on the Verge, of moral bankruptcy andl Prof. Lane acknowledgzcd the danger.` He spoke of `bootlegpfinp; as one of : the most nefarious games of the day; one which is diabolic through and throu,L`h; which is eating into the Vitals of our very soul and is ; sappir1*,_`,' both the health and morals of the country. Truly the country is in a condition of collapse. Ignor- ance is impotence. Yet, paradoxical- , ly enough, there are more colleges i to-day than ever before. Knowledge 1 and the productsof knowledge are _ abundant in every phase of life. f Knowledge, culture and . inventions n surround us on every side. Yet we __ are on the -verge of collapse. The ,_ people of old , as the text says, were ;. destroyed for lack of knowledge. 1. To-day it seems to be the presence 0 of knowledge that endangers us. If , we only had the right kind of knowledge, the abundance of that ._ knowledge would harmonize. But i_ the two kinds we have seem direct- t, ly opposed to each other. All the ,0 technique of scientic knowledge ,_ could not save our soul, but the knowledge of God alone. Physics it and chemistry have become so ela- ,k berated that to-day war is impos- sible for more than a few hours. It k_ is from that kind of knowledge that we are suffering; it is from a dis- junction of goodness and God in our social ideas. Laws, unless brought ,1- into a perspective point of view, will ut menace the world. Il( Church Doings How often do we nd God in the home, the schools and colleges, the press, or the market place ? In the average home God is in evidence the same as the grand aunt whose picture hangs on the wall. The 0resenta- tion is not a convincing` one. Even the Sunday Schools are not measur- ing up, said the speaker, as is shown by the increase in juvenile delinquency. Few newspapers use religion as news. They say people don t like it.

In the schools |G:0d is _ taught in a perfunctory sort of way, ` and the child is the sufferer. In closing the speaker made a plea that religion be centralized in the secondary schools and colleges, hold-lg 8 ing that that was the logical place. to begin. The teachers are not to blame, but the public. ` Two New Classes Formed During` the past week two new classes have been organized in C01- lier St. Methodist church.

At least three other ar-` rests are expected soon. The labor at the Mimico brick plant is done by prisoners in provincial institu- tions, and Mr. Dunlop has had charge of selling the brick product. The allegation is that the amount_ of brick made at the plant does not `tally with the revenues ultimately . reported to the department from` `this source.
