fuel controller for canada has just issued a statement which is directed personally to the coal dealers but the consumers may note the contents and frofit by the warning issued the controller pointed out that boats will not be available for the transportation of coal next summer as in other years and dealers should start now to load up their stock piles consumers who are able to do so should likewise keep their coal bins filled tco chance for worth- while curtailment city drug store owners will not in future deliver giner ale or other parcels to the home of its patrons all of which is mostly done by jboys on bicycles we think the curtailment of this service is justified even though it will save no gasoline however why does the war time price and trade board overlook the saving that could be effected if the big city departmental stores were forbidden to make personal deliveries of small parcels to every street avenue and con cession line scores of miles away from their business prem ises rural mail and express could take care of this trade eliminating the use of hundreds of trucks that are burning up gasoline and wearing out tires edgar g burton retail administrator should get around to this issue in due time the large departmental stores have already cut down daily deliveries to some extent and social deliveries have also been cut still deliveries from the big stores are being carried to far away towns and villages where a customer requires a pound of tea or some soda biscuits there seems to be a slowness in letting go of the business that might rightfully belong to the small town merchant must get tough with rationing before thiswar is very much older says the financial post canadian authorities will have to become a lot more realistic about rationing there will be much less said about what we may have to do and much more about what has been definitely and finally decided the totalitarian powers have not wasted any time pleading with their peoples to go lightly on gasoline or sugar orders were curt arid clear from the start were going to have to get tough too and in the long run we may find that getting that way is more fair just as we already know it is more efficient we pussyfooted with gasoline last fall and we are doing almost the same thing with sugar right now results in both cases have been identical warnings and rumors only led to runs and confusion with both those commodities the situation was aggravated instead of improved in these two cases the honor system of rationing has not worked and compulsion appears the only alternative if there are fewer civilians running around with automobiles in canada now than a year ago it is not the re sult of voluntary conservation of gasoline but because gas costs more money and people are afraid of wearing out tires that they know can not be replaced in a land of plenty like canada compulsory rationing my be a bitter pill to swallow but we cannot afford to waste a lot of time putting a sugar coating on that pill the faster we get it down the better we fight and the sooner we get back to good living again if victory loan fails then whal while the outcome of the forthcoming victory loan to raise six hundred million dollars by way of a loan to the dominion government is likely to be oversubscribed the fact remains that it could fail to reach its objective if it does then what the prediction is made by the financial post a thoroughly reliable financial journal that some sort of con scription of money will in event of failure be made perhaps compulsory saving on the part of even the small wage earner premier king will be tickled with delight if the loan meets its full objective and thus the government will not meet the necessity of extracting the money from the pockets of the wage earners in a forceful manner lets all keep the thing voluntary by loaning at interest every nickle we can scrape up for the loan public career mayonly be starting on wednesday evening of this

be a steppingstone to r greater things oh ike hdtidhk mall dear mr editor for a long time i have thought that one of the weaknesses of our protestant denominations is their proneness to ask and to give undue prominence to comparatively unim portant questions quite a large list of these questions could easily be given but one such seems to 1e dis turbing some sections of the com munity now in my judgment the really important question we ought to be asking are these how may we make jesus lord of the individual life lord of the family life lord of the community life lord of the national and international life and what great quest lens these are at a time when the very existence of the church is in danger and the whole world aflame in the light of these considera tions what a tempest in a teapot the present controversy over evolution seems to be what is evolution since darwins day the concept has passed through various phases under the study lamps of such men as henry bergson lloyd morgan and many others in general i like lecontos definition of it as well as any other according to him evolution is con tinuous progressive change accord ing to certain laws and by means of resident forces we think of god in a twofoldway as transcendant and as immanent that is to say we conceive him as both above the world and in it paul emphasizes this latter conception when he declares that in him we live and move and have our being if now we substitute divine forces or in other words the divine imman ence for the resident forces men tioned in lecontes definition we shall find god in the process of mak ing his world and what difference does it make to us whether he mak es it by the long way or by the short is not the one method just as relig ious as the otherhe makes an ear of corn by a process of evolution first the blade then the ear and finally the full corn in the ear he makes a turnip in that way too indeed he made the writer and the reader of these lines by the slow process of evolution each one of us was at first a mere combination of two infinitesmal cells in a mothers womb and out of that combination we have evolved into what we are today it may be that he made the world by slow emergent stages but whether he did or not does not affect my faith at all i once met henry drummond his little book on the greatest thing in the world apart from pauls 13th chapter of first corinthians is the finest thing on love that ever has been written he was one of moodys converts and to the end of his life he and the great evangelist were dear friends i think he was the most saintly man it has been my privilege to meet but he was a thorough going evolutionist who has not read his book entitled the ascent of man it is simply absurd to suggest that an evolution ist cannot be a christian the other day a visitor in my house requested me to give him a definition of the christian- said to him that five iwords in the new testament describe him they are these disciple follower believer brother saint my favourite definition however is pauls great word u any man hath not the spirit of christ he is none of his i am wondering how many of the very best of us can stand up to that test i confess that i tremble when i think of myself personally i shall never fight with any of my brethren over evolution except to combat a con ception of it that would rule out gods activity anyway it is a theme upon which we common folk are hardly capable of expressing an ade quate judgment pro or con and at a time like this when inevitable and dangerous problems confront us it is little short of criminal to waste our time and energy and even our goodwill upon it in the mean time let us forget about it and cour ageously face the more pressing questions of today and tomorrow
