W. JAMES, Editois Your Opportunity ta Save A good many millions cf words have been written ini the past about the virtues cf thrif t anid saving generally. Some cf them have been extremely persuasive and occasionally the writer has developed his theme with a freshness and 'igor caiculated ta lire the dlullest imagin- ation. But there is another aspect to thie question that is sa obvlous it may well be unappreciated if flot overlooked entirely. It la the thought that civilization to-day would know practically none of the amenities it now takes for granted unleas someone, somnewbere had first saved some money. The kind of savlng,.that has led te the de- velopment of our natural resources and the building cf our hi4hly industrialized nation began back in the days cf the earliest settier. Our forefathers husbanded their incomes and invest- ed their savings in the development cf the land around them, in the business they were building up te serve others and, in the final analysis, in the general economic development cof their country. Lif e is more complex to-day than it was then. There are more demanda on our income, for one tbing, and we have become accustomed to a standa,-d cf living which in those days wç?uld have appeared luxurious. But the things that have been done te make it easier for us te save go a long way toward comperisating for this. Canada 'Savings Bonds are -an outstanding example cf what has been done te make it easier te save. This month a Fourtb Sertes cf these bonds, la being offered te the public..

Wrong Cuiprit Suggests Nemorial Io Dishop Brel Native Son of Newcastle Wilh International Reptation (By Jas. P. Lovekin) There does net exist in any pub- lic place in the ceunty of Dur- hamn a memorial te one of the most famous men the county ever preduced, Bishep Charles 4lonry Brent. The rectory in whièh he was born and its adjacent church have disappeared. The site, be- side St. George's Cemetery on the hili above Newcastle is now a cul- tivated field. The church his fa- ther built in Newcastle, St. George's, does net centain a mem- eriai te its illustrious son. Yet ne man from Durham attained a higher position in the hiorarchy cf the Anglican Church and net even the Rt. Hon. Vncent Massey en- joys a comparable international roputatien. Bisop Bront was bern in New- castle en April 9, 1862, His father, Ca'non Brent, was rector cf St. George's fer 42 years and his son neyer ceased te express his grat- itude for three things, the ex- ample cf stability and service previded by his father, the ad- mirable character cf his mother, and finaily, fer the inestimable privilege cf growing up in a small On tarie town. The future bishep was educated in the local sehooL:, Trinity School, Port Hopje and the University cf Toronto. In 1886 ho was ordainied but failing te fihd a parish in, Canada emigratod te Buffalo. In the United States Bront's risc wvas rapid. After sereing in Buffalo and- with the Cowley Fathers, an erder cf Anglican monks, he went te Boston where ho met the most outstanding cler- ics cf his gencration and where ho came uinder the influence cf that brilliant group cf mini Presidents Eliot and Low tractcd to Harvard. fI was in Beston that ho was Bishop of the Philippine I the first position that broug international attention. The varicus attemDts Of in his diecese wcro thwartcd by the opium traffic. A drug as con- centrated as opium and as ,Valu- ableoebviously lent itself te smug- gling and the Bishop realized that it could net be controlled effcct- iveiy by local or even national bodies. He therefofe agitated for and obtainod arl international convention in 1909 and by 1924 had succeedcd in bringing the traffic under central. Net content with this accem- plishment, Bishop Brent became chaplain cf the American Expedi- tionary Force and one cf the main spirits bchind the International Missionary Conference and the centemporary mevemont te unite Protestant communions. Before his death, Bishop Bront belongod net te a town, te a diocese or te a nation. He bcionged to the en- tire Christian world.* The honours conierred on Bish- op Brent are almest innumerable: Cempanion of the Order cf Lea- pold (Beigium); Officer cf the Legion cf Henor (France); Cem- panion cf the Order cf the Bath (Great Britain); Distinguished Service Medal (U.S.A.); and dcc- torates from varieus universities including Yale, Harvard, Glasgow, Columbia and his own Toronto. There remains only one henor te be added, a memorial in his na- tive town. Weekly Review Chinese New National Anthem By LEWIS MILLIGANf A New York Times news dis- patch from Shanghai on October 2 stated: "On the dot cf 8 a.m. te- day allkShanghai radios played the new national anthem cof the People's Republic cf China, 'Arise, you who refuse to be slaves'. " Thus ends, te ail appear- ances, the regime of Chîang Kai- shek, and begins the rule cf thc Chinese Communist Party in the ene-time Celestial Empire. The eveni is being hailed la Russia as a viciory for Communisrn and the Kremlin doubtless feels elated ai the prospect cf establishing a Chinoso Soviet Sccialist Republic withln the iron curtain. But China is a much eilder na- tion tlan Russia, and the Chinese were a highly civilized people long before the Russians emergod from the woods. This latesi polilu- cal upheaval is a more incident; one cf a series of civil wars, rovo- lutions and foreiga conquesis1 that have taken place in the pasti four thousand years. The eniginj cf the Chinese is obscure and legendary. The first dynasty cf which there is any hisiorical re- cord was ±cunded in 2205 B.C. This was followed by what is kncwn as the Classical Age, dur- ing which great cultural pregross was made. In 1122 B.C. a patriar- chaI government was founded which centred about the emperor, fIe Son of Heaven. The empire was expanded, but the gevera- ment became docentralized and feudal siates sprang up. Referring to this period, one authorify says:t "Culturally, the greatesi advances woro made in the wriiten Chinese language; thc gevernment organ- ized sehools and the civic servicer sysfemi was begun. fI was a tirne when scholars and philesophers were the statesmen. Lacîze (the founder cf Taeism), Confuciusc and Mencius expounded their philosophies. Politicaliy, hewever, the state wvas in chaos, which was ended by the vicfory cof the stafe cf China in 256 B.C." This now dynasty was marked by fIe advent of oceocffIe greaf- est cf China's ruIons, Shih Hwang. who abolished feudalismn and unit- ed China for about tifty yoars. affer whicî, Iowever, fIe empire lapsed loto feudal warfare. That is just, a glimpse loto the vicissitudes of the Chinese in tIe pre-Chnistian ena. During the past two thoUsand years tIe empire has lad many dynasties and polîtical changes breught about by civil wars, with 1subsequeni fereiga invasions, in- cluding that cf tIe Tartars and the Mongols. Ku-blai Khan, a Mongol, became emperor cf China la 1280 A.D., and ho made the country presporous. But the ln- evitable civil wars fellowe:d and othor dynasties rose and fell. China's contact with the West- ern World began about four hua- dred years age wîth the coming cf Portugese, Spanish, Duich and English tradors. But the country was net ihrown open te western trade and political influence until about the middle cf the nine- teenth century. From thon on China has been la a constant state cf poitical diserdor with the ex- ception cf Shanghai, Canton and ether cf the larger cities la the South. Japan took advantage cf the political disruption in North- ern China by iavadiag and annex- ing Manchuria. But before that Russia had ca4t covetous oyes on norihern Manchuria and had tak- on over Port Arthur. Ai of which and more is recent history. China today bas a population of 450,000,000, and te suppose that this number of people have be- corne doctrinaire Communists by the anneuncemont cf a People's Republic and the radio playing cf a new national anthem is, cf course, ridiculous. Writing la the October issue cf the Presbyterian Record, Rev. R. Malcolm Ranscm tells how ho and other mission- ari#s in Yunnan province are pro- paning te continue their work under the Communist govern- ment. Ho says the Chinese people arg submitting te Communism be- cause they have no other political alternative. "Four tîousand years of culture," ho says, "will net be shaken by one more regimo. Cern- munjsm stands the chance cf be- i absorbed or ai ieast groatly ,.tred by ihis v'ast sea cf c1u ure and humanity." Certaînly, %ftfIe Chinese people live, up te îhe wcrds cf their aew natý,onal an- them, "Arise, yeu who refuse te be slaves," they will net submit permanently te Communist dic- tatorship. The poems ef Burns were fransiated ie oChinese. and the new national anthem looks like a pharaphrase cf "Scot's, Wha Hae."

FAMILY PRAYER (Edmonton Journal) Most Canadians who have pass- cd their fifieth birthday took part cvery day, whcn they were chul- dren, in family prayer. The family gathered, perhaps jusi before breakfast, perhaps after supper in the evcning, to hear the -iather read a fevw verses frem the Bible and lcad the family in prayer. Se common was the fine old cust'om of family prayer that it inspired poets and artists te, pay tribute to 1k.

And if y-ou know The Cotter, you will remomber the line: "They nover sought ln vain that sought the Lord aright." At the present time a special appeal is being addressed te al familles in the three western pro- vinces te restore family prayer te its rightful, and formerly honored, place in the family circle. fi is worth heeding. The home is the foundation stone cf the community and the nation. Homes thai place spiritual valuesi firstare strong homes; and from such come the real strength of the nation.

Thus far, ho says, ne eceno- mnical method cf recevering thc cil has been discovcred but when the method is found Canada will -ave a "tremendously rich re- source, porhaps 100 billion bar- rels". Ho believes the tar sands alene seem te be an answer te the fear the world is running short cf cil. Canada, acccrding te the report, is second in per capita censump- tien te the United States,-using about twe billion barrels cf pet- releum every wcek. More than 70 million barrels are imported, 50 per cent cf the crude cil and rofined products coming from the U.S., with-mest cf the remainder coming from Colombia, Venezuela and Trinidad.
