Adults co Of the Churches] "Stunt" newspapers {in the old 1 land, disliking 'the Scottish . Sab- bath with some prone to welcome any suggestions. that the hold of the churches is weakening north of the Tweed. A: Scottish newspaper presents -the other view in these words "It is often sald, and with some truth, that the churches are losing their hold over the people. Cer- tainly church attendance is not a universal practice and many churches are emptier on Sundays than they used to be. But when all is said and done, the church mem- bership is very large, and the number of communicants repre- sents at least half of the total adult population in Scotland. Here are some figures: ,, Church of Scotland com- municants ,.. . United Free cants... Free Church "Communi- cants (88Y)... ¢ «.. Congregational = com- municants. Seine Baptist communicants. Methodist communi ' cants. .. po ' 759,791 communi- 536,380 50,000 37,600 22,654 10,2b0 Total. .s vein ss ave 1,816,581 "In addition there are the Rom- an Catholics, Episcopalians, ana other churches which, in the ag- gregate, have a considerable num- ber of members. 'The Roman Catholic population of Scotlana is estimated to be 240,820 souls. Members Are Active "Taking the six Protestant bod- iés for which we have accurate figures, it. will be seen that wue total number of communicants is 1,416,587, This figure is a fair- ly accurate indication of the num- ber of adults who are active mem- bers of these churches. The rolls of communicants are "purgea' yearly and, in. the established church those who have, absented themselves from. . Communion without . good cause. for 3 years are struck off thé lists. . The oth- er churches are.even.more strict. For example, last year the United Free church- removed. from its rolls no fewer-than 26,070 persons. "This being so, we. are safe in concluding that about one and a half million adults are active com- municants in 'Scotland. Now, the total population over 15 years of age was 3,443,000 in 1921, So it that something tion are church members and take part in the life of the church." MAYOR McBRIDE SERVES LIBEL NOTICE TORONTO TELEGRAM ¢ Toronto, April 27.--Mayor Mo- Bride yesterday struck back at a journalistic opponent, the Evening. Telegram. He instructed his solic- itors to prepare suit for libel against that newspaper for unstat- ed damages, and through them served notice on the proprietors of the Telegram complaining of an ar- ticle as libelous which appeared in that journal last Saturday. The ar- ticle referred to him as a liar, a coward, an irresponsible office hold- er, possessing a low mind, and the, morals of an Ananias. The complaining notice is filed, in accordance with provincial sta- tute, which gives newspapers ac- cused of libel several days in which to publish extenuation, apology or reraction after they have had their attention drawn to the statements considered libelous. Such apology or retraction is legally accepted as mitigation of the offense and of any damages awarded. If the apology is published, the person libelled may either accept it as final or may proceed with his suit, filing the writ after the re- traction is made or after the ex- piration of the days of grace. Friends of the mayor believe he will press his suit whether or not any apology is made by The: Tele- gram. He is understood to be high- Iy i d at the article attacking St. George's ANGLICAN Cor.

DENTON MASSEY 10 SPEAK AT RALLY City Young People's Union Holds Meeting on Mon- day Night On Monday evening, the young people of Oshawa will have the op- portunity of hearing one ot the out- standing young men of the city of Toronto deliver an address in the Simcoe Street United Church. This evening is given over to the City Young People's Union, a body made up of the majority of the young people's organizations of the local churches, for its periodical rally. Mr. Massey, who is to be the speaker of the evening, has won a wide reputation as an ora- tor and a thoughtful speaker on subjects of interest to young peo- ple, and his coming to Oshawa is one of the big events of the season for the young people. In order that their members may attend the rally in a body, the at- filiated churches are postponing their individual meetings this night, and in many cases are as- sembling at their own churches so that they can proceed together to Simcoe Street for the rally.

At the city of Chang- teho, in Honan province, the gent ry, acting through the Chinese board of trade and despairing of receiving any famine relief from Nanking, have themselves organ- ized to feed 9,000 people out of the city's population of somewhat less than 60,000. These 9,000 people all carry food tickets, and by careful manage- ment are provided with one meal a day of hot millet gruel, at a daily total cost of $300¢@Méxican, less than $145 in Canadidn mon- ey. The meals are cooked and served in the compound of the Canadian mission. No one may take any food away, but must at once sit down on the frozen ground and eat Every morning at 3 o'clock 50 cooks and 650 boys to manipulate the bellows begin their work. The gruel is prepared in great iron caldrons, and as soon as it 1s cook- ed is poured into 40-gallon earth- enware jars and then kept hot un- til serving time. Two tons of mil- let is used daily for this ration. Long queues begin to form be- fore daylight, men in one column and women and children in anoth- er, and some of the famished ones stand five or six hours shivering in the cold before théy are served. ODDFELLOWS GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY Special Service to Be Held in Simcoe Street United Church Ra On Sunday afternoon the annual parade and service worship is to be held by the Lodges of the 1.0.0. F, in Oshawa, and many visitors from neighboring lodges are also expected to join in the service. The service itself is to be held in the Simcoe Street United Church at three o'clock, when the Rev. Er- nest Harston will preach on the appropriate subject of "Three Gold- en Links". The members of the Oddfellows' Lodges, of course, wil} assemble in their lodge rooms and will march in a body to the church for the service. Watch the Time Tomorrow Oshawa churchgoers tomorrow will have to be careful to watch their clocks if they wish to reach urch in time "for the services. Tomorrow, this city will be operat- ing on daylight service time, which is one hour ahead of standard time, so that, eleven o'clock under thé advanced time = will be ten o'élock under the 'old" time. Citi- zens should therefore be sure to advance their clocks ome hour to- night, or they will be wandering into church an hour after the ser- vice has started. The late Harry Newman, former mayor of the: city of Kingston, ia given credit for being the father of daylight saving time in Canada. Yet it is a fact that, on the firs. occasion on which it was observed in this country, he himself forgot to turn on his clock on the Satur- day night, and marched into church an hour late, while the min- ister was in the middle of his ser- mon, How many will there be like him in Oshawa tomorrow. {YOUTH OF TODAY ARE DEFENDED BY DENTON MASSEY TORONTO SPEAKER SAYS THEY ARE GOOD CHRISTIANS Scorn Dogmas and Rituals Done Up As Sugar- coated Pills Toronto, April 27,--~Dogmas and rituals of, whigh Christ: "probably never: thibught, done up in pills to 'take' with 'every meal; skirt- lengths of the gay '90's as con- trasted with those of today; the smoking of -tobacco by clergymen and distaste for those who advo- cate "a straight-laced, so-called Christian conduct" featured an- other striking address on '"'mod- ern youth" yesterday before the Rotary club, by Denton Massey of the York Bible Cldss. "In the gay 90's" he said, 'young men watching a young Jady. mount a bicycle were thrilled to catch a glimpse of an ankle. Now we demand a whole leg and get it." '" The sport model flapper ot 1929 is not" consistent with her contemporaries: When you con- sider the bicycle days of the long, flowing-skirts and whatnots under- neath, one cannot be too severe with critics belonging tg that age. Modern youth appears to them im- moral merely. because they are not accustomed to it. Condemna- tion of the so-called superficiaities of youth arise merely from their newness. The New Christianity "Modern youth applies TChristi- anity in a new 'way," he declared, and then voicing his distaste for tho those who urge the "straight- laced socalled Christian conduct," he addéd: "Nineteen hundred years, ago a young man came into the world who lived a man's life "in a man's way, whose story, put plainly before the young men of today, cannot help but thrill them. "Since His death mankind has tried to make the following of his teaching hard and has instituted dogmas and rituals of which prob- ably He never thought. 'ranese they have done up in pifls to be taken with every meal and have apparently forgotten that He sald "I am come that they might have life an dthat they might have it more abundantly." "One cannot help but be amused to hear how some members have been endeavoring to force upon the local clergy their opinion that smoking is a pernicious habit. "There always has been a few morbidly-inclined pessimists, who, stroking their gray beards and re- flecting on their own dismal pasts will. utter a few paradoxes on the decay of humanity, who rejoice in a comparison of the 'good old days' with today, and whose slog- an is 'What is the world coming to?' "Such abstract reflections after all just spring from the point or view. One man filled with a springy feeling foretells a rosy fu- ture, while another filled witn gloom forecasts destruction -- and both can quote figures by the yard to support themselves. Nothing is more dangerous than the man who quotes figures by the yard and doesn't know what they mean, So anyone who quotes dogma on the modern. generation is, after all, quoting nis own dogma," One For Him (Louisville Courier Journal) "Expect me when you see me," said the husband airily.

Although reviled and persecuted, he could say concern- ing one's enemies, "Love. your ene- mies". Even in the midst of his experience on Calvary, our great Exemplar expressed love to all. Furthermore he ' gave: to - the world an incomparable example of forgiveness when, on the cross, he prayed for his .persecutors, "Father, 'forgive them; for they know not what they do".
