PRIEST AND APOSTLE The above title has no special ref- erence to the clergy of certain churches who are officially, as well as generally, known ds priests. It is _nsed as designating a type, not a particular class, That type is to be found in all churches, all religions, Christian and non-Christian. The particular priest of this incident be- longed to a church which officially designates its clergy as ministers, They were travelling together to a great church gathering. Both were big men physically, One was a man of fifty, big with the smooth rotund- ity which comes to full-feeders in middle age, An unctuous man, with a ready professional simile, a habit of rubbing his hands eve} each other, and a large regular heave under his waistcoat, The other was not more than thirty, big with weight of bone and muscle, hard from constant act- ivity, thin-faced, eager-eyed, bronzed with exposure to all weathers, The younger man was telling the other about his work on the front- ier, Eagerly, enthusiastically he told of long trips on inland lakes by canoe, of horseback rides over uncer- tain trails, of mountain climbs on foot where a horse could not go, of sleeping out on rough ground be- neath the stars. But at the end of each trip was a little group of min- ers or lumbermen or settlers gather- ed in bunkhouse or shanty or shack to listen to the old story of the gosp- el, He told the tale with the pas- sion of one who loved his work as he loved his life; told it to what he be- lieved to be the sympathetic ears of a sense in the ministry, a father and a leader in the Church, He paused, "Yes, very interesting! Very in- teresting, indeed! I must say that I have heen fortunate in never hav- ing had to go through such rough experiences, The Lord has been good to me: He has always given me the comfortable places, The Lord has never asked me to endure hard- ship, He will give you something better in time." The younger man did not answer. He could not, He was struck dumb, This was to whom he looked up as a father and a ruler in the Church, did not appreciate, did not under- stand, did not even catch a glimmer of the glory of carrying the gospel to those who without him would never hear. "Hardship!"' He plaining of hardship. It never cross- ed his mind. "Comfortable places!" He was 'not asking for comfortable places. They did not appeal to him. "Something better!" He asked for nothing better, so long as he was physically fit, than to preach to those to whom none other preached, There was no use of his trying to interest the older man. He could not understand. The young mission- ary rose without a word, and walk- ing down the car, seated himself with a lay delegate, a pioneer of the Far West, They understood each was not com- other. The two clergy were as far apart as the poles. One was the priest; the other the apostle, The older man was 'a type of the official cleric, He was a capable man, and kwew it, © He went after the comfortable places, and got them, He knew the value of position and influence, and sought them. Preach- ing was to him a congenial occupa- tion, the ministry of profession, the Church an avenue of advancement. Because he used the requisite means, he got some of the highest gifts his church could bestow, He was a thor: oughly respectable man, But he was selfish, He was an official priest, with none of the passion of a great love in his soul, of a great sac- rifice in his life, The younger man was a type of the apostles and missionaries of the oross in all ages, With just'as great ability, and a much higher education than the other, he laid all on the altar of God. All his gifts were giv- en him to use for others, All'were dedicated to the service of God in the service of men, His own fame or his own obscurity was a matter of small moment so long as Christ was lifted up, and men were brought to God, He forgot himself, because a great love had burned selfishness out 'of him, These two types are to be found in all the churches. (Imcidentally there are corresponding types in the pew as well as in the pulpit.) Be- tween them lie the many who more or less lean to one side or the other, Because of their very self-seeking the priest type often wise to the top, get the ecclesiastical plums, are prominent in church councils and in- fluence church policies. By them the church is often judged, and the condemnation of it we often hear, is because ' the critics ignorantly im- agine that the priest type is the only type. In many modern novels, es- pecially those written in the old lands, the typical churchman is Just such a priest as we have described, It is an unfair judgment, It is an unjust criticism. The real repre: sentative of Jesus Christ is the man of the other type--not the priest but | the apostle, Wherever you find him, in-home or foreign' lands, in crowded cities or on the lonely front- ier, named a Protestant or named a| Roman Catholic, he is the man fired | by the Spirit of God and impelled by his own sense of duty to forget him-| self in order to bring blessings to, others, Such are the men who have | made the Church the force it is. Such | are the men who have carried it to| the ends of the earth, and are still | carrying it into every dark corner where human heings dwell. These Before them the criticism is hushed, and even the enemies of the faith pay them a tribute of respect for their sincerity and faithfulness. Judge not the Church by priests alone. Consider also apostles, its its Minimum Wage Legislation By Elizabeth P. MacCallum, M.A. Alberta is now the seventh prov- ince of the Dominion that has com- mitted itself to a policy of govern- mental regulation of wages. In British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, govern- ment regulation is well wunder way; In Alberta, Quebec, Nova Scot- ia, the requisite legislation has been enacted, but no steps have yet been taken to enforce it. Alberta has not yet had time to take action; Nova Sootia and Quebec are pausing to meditate. The pause has now last- ed for three years. Action will prob- ably be all the more effective for the delay, for these two provinees will soon have a wealth of experience in other parts of the Dominion to gujde them, when they begin to en- force their Minimum Wage Acts. Many Want Action There is a general conviction throughout Canada that some gov- ernmental action should be taken to protect working women from each other and from exploitation by cheap employers. That is to say, there is a large percentage of our working- women who are entirely dependent upon their own earnings, and it is felt that the right of these women to a living wage should be upheld in the face of the fact that many semi-dependent women are naturally willing to work for less than a liv- ing wage. Minimum wage laws in Canada, then, have been passed Constipation Relieved Without the Use of Laxatives i § h ] 3 § i ujol NT NC [ A LAXATIVE | largely with the aim in view of mak- ing it illegal for an employer to pay or a female to accept less than a cer- tain rate of wages, deemed by the Wages Board to approximate to a fair standard of living. In Great Britain minimum wage legislation applies to men as well as to women, but in Canada, whether wisely or not, little has been said about pro- tecting that fluctuating, vague and inarticulate body eof men workers which is fortunately smaller here than in many other countries. In all countries where minimum wage legislation has been enacted, the ul- timate aim of the legislators is to create decent standards of living where they do not exist, and thus give to all classes of workers a sense of self-respect which will in -time engender gh independ of spirit to enable them to look after themselves. That self-respect is conspicuously lacking among thosé workers whose standards are still of the lowest order. It is found that many such workers do not appear to care whether their wages are raised or mot. Their indifference is bern of physical un@er-nourishment, and applied 'to almost all phases of their existence. It is to the advant- age of the workers, of the province and of individual employers as well, that apathy of this kind be done away with. British Columbia Experienced British Columbia has had the longest experience of any Canadian province in the field of minimum wage legislation. Industries have been dealt with one by ome, until wages have been regulated in plmost every industry im which women are largely employed. Wages for adult workers vary from $12.75 to $15.50 per week, representing often am in- crease of about 35 per cent. Hours have been shortened, so that forty- eight is regarded as 2 normal week. British Columbia's experience tends to refute the opinion held by many that a minimum wage is apt to be- come the mazimum and so defeat fis own putpose. In 1920 average wages in @ifferent industries were found to exceed the minimum by as much as $3.19, $1.58, $2.64, $2.58, and $4.43 per week. In Saskatche- wan half of the lamndry workers are receiving more than the minimum. and about two-thirds of the workers in shops, and stores are in a similar position. The Wage Boards of Manitoba and Ontario have made a large naum- ber of awards, and are experiment- ing in differential wages for various localities according to size. are the apostles of Jesus Christ still. | § OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 SELECTED FOR SUNDAY READING Those who bring sunshine into the lives 'of others cannot keep it from themselves.--J.

Fy > In Music's Realm LITTLE BITS OF INFORMATION, | Lord Riddell is reported as saying that there was too much hymn sing- ing, and not enough golf at Lloyd George's country place. It is claim- ed by those who are in a position to know that one of the secrets behind the phenomenal success of David Lloyd George is music. He is de- voted to it. 'When harassed by per- plexing problems he flees to it and is relieved. He confesses it is the one thing which makes him forget politics, There are private persons who have as large a library of phono- graph records as others have books. One man now owns over 4,000 re- cords. Another has 1,200. In both cases they keep the records om shel- ves indexed much the same as one | would index books. In addition to | cataloguing them alphabetically ac- | cording to title, they are cross-in-| dexed in classes, as--piano selec- tions, violin, 'cello, vocal solos, or- chestra, band, chorus, etc. According to figures compiled since the last municipal elections, about 100 towns in the State of Iowa voted for the New Band Tax as a means of supporting local municipal bands. The dimmortal Charles Dickens was a lover of music, and had many musicians at his wonderful recep- tions. "Your father thinks it is economy to paint his house every four years. He lets the jeweller clean his watch at stated intervals. ' He gets his suit pressed, the heels of his shoes level- led up, his razor honed, and he will just as readily have the piano tuned at least twice a year if you remind him," said a music teacher to his pu- pil the other day when he noticed the piano was getting badly out of tune. The teacher then added jokingly, "Don't wait until one of the neigh- bors sends for a tuner to tune your piano." News dispatches say that the Aus- train State is paying a graceful tri- bute to great musicians by using the heads of Hadyn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss and others on post- age stamps. One correspondent says: "The Austrains are showing consid- erable wisdom 4m choosing these great men for this purpose instead of the visages of the second-rate politicians that usually come to the fore in recently comstituted and somewhat unstable republics."
