N 4 " The world is largely occupied: THE RISING CRUSADE Gradually it is dawning ypon our people that religion has the place of primary importance in human life. >" By religion is meant not merely knowledge and habitual ceremony, but consistent expression in word and act, Two, recent events have brought these facts to the attention of Canadian people. The first is the movement to have religion and Bible teaching in all our Public and High Schools. This/movement is being fostered not only by the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish churches; but by. the Ontario Educational Association, and the Department of Education. : The battle for religious teaching in schools will really be won when the teaching is permitted in actual school hours, instead of being looked upon - as an addition to regular school work. >We agree with the editor of the Oshawa Times-Gazette when he says: ue "If there is to be religious education in all schools it should be given a place in the curri- culum; begin in the lower grades and continue to the highest class and broadened as it pro- gresses from class to class. Perhaps a text- book or series of textbooks would be a great aid, the same as are used in all other school subjects." Controversial religious subjects need not and should not be introduced in any case. Religious teaching has been carried on for some years in the Port Perry schools. We sincerely hope this movement will spread. ih LIER The second event is the insistent challengd: to ; From time to time proclamations hfive--- "been issued by the King for the people to observe ° - . days of prayer. In many instances these special days have been well observed. In country dis-_ prayer. tricts this has not been the case except in rare instances. And yet, the longing for peace and righteous- ness is growing--no longing is greater among our people to-day. It is well to remember that while observance of special days of prayer is com- mendable,. the fact remains that-- = "Prayer is the heart's sincere desire, --Uttered or unexpressed. The burning of a hidden fire That lies within the breast." No other kind of prayer is of any value, + ££ » % NO MASTER RACE As long as there is a race of people who are - determined to RULE the world for the profit and pleasure of that race, there will be war. It will be no easy task to change the viewpoint of 'humanity as a whole in this respect. Every __age has_had its ambitious conqueror -- Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, Napoleon: Indeed history has largely been the record of the wars of conquest and of exploitation of the conquered peoples. : . In some degree conquest was excusable in unoccupied lands, where a few roaming natives were keeping humanity from resources that were so much needed. But the "frontiers" are passing. come when humanity must face the problem of settling down and living not by plundering The time has _ : neighbours; but by a wise use and conservation _ of natural resources. SHR Dr, Felix Morley in Saturday Evening Post, . said: 12 "For if one lesson from the twentieth century to date is clear, it is that no people or group of people will be allowed by others to act on the assumption that it is a master race. That goes for the Nazi type of mind wherever and however it develops," Herbert Spencer said that man could live for- ever if he could constantly Adjust himself to his ever changing environment. Humanity has a tremendous task of readjustment on hand if it is to survive in a world of ever widening research and invention. Old: ideas of exploitation must give way -to new ideas of service; new standards of honour; new sense of personal and group responsibility. * * * CANADA MOVED FIRST Much has been said in past months as to the strength of the American Administration. But here is a memorandum of steps to be taken in the United States which we in Canada have now largely in operation as outlined in the Christian Science Monitor. . For labour--a freezing of labour-management contractual relations to the extent of placing the closed shop and union shop in status quo, A ceiling on wages. Reaffirmation of the 40-hour week as the basic pay week, and time and a half for over-time. Abolition of double-time pay for.Sundays and holidays whenever these days become a part of oyer-time pay. Acceptance of the "maintenance of member- ship" policy whenever it can be clearly shown to have the approval of the majority of the union members, For management--rigid restriction on Avar- contract profits, with a still higher excess profits tax. x For the farmer--re-examination of the farm parity issue with the objective of re-establishing the principle of parity prices at 100 per cent. in- stead of 110 per cent. 0 3 Price and Rent Ceilings For the consumer and to prevent inflation-- _ a ceiling on prices 'and rents, Payment of wages beyond 48 hours, which the President considers the. most efficient work-weck. in non-negotiable Government bonds whenever for special reasons the longer work-week is in- .. dispensable. Application of some kind of forced savings or pay-roll savings plan which will drain off excess purchasing power at the source. . It seems clear that the President has moved a considerable distance from the position he took a few- weeks ago when he was arguing that an "over-all ceiling on prices was impracticable, that -- the control of wages was unnecessary, that no basic war-labour policy was needed. + + + 9 A PATRIOTIC DUTY--If by any means youcan take a voter to the polls on Monday 'you will be doing an important public duty.

The sermon was one of inspiration and encouragement in these dark days of war.

G. Joblin, of Scugog, addressed the minister and the congregation jointly, charging them to exercise unity of purpose for the extension of Christ's Kingdom upon earth. In happy vein and _ simple, homelike language the speaker commended both minister and congregation for their past records of service to the Master and to humanity. He predicted a happy and useful 'pastorate. for Rev. Mr. Smith, and congratulated the. congregation not only upon receiving a" good minister, but the added blessing of an efficient and willing helpmeet in the person of Mrs, Smith. - The Reception "At the conclusion of the Induction Service, a reception was held for the new minister and his wife.

In his opening remarks the Chairman gave sin- cere praise to the officers and committee men who had carried on the work of the Association so effici- ently, and expressed regret at his inability to do all he would like to have done owing to pressure of work. The reports of the Secretary and the Treasurer showed the Association to be in good financial shape, with total assets of $546.00, an increase of about $16 over last year, after having donated $633.05 to the British War Victims' Fund, Later in the evening it was again decided to contribute the net proceeds of the 1942 Sports Day to some patriotic purpose.

The seed is so small itself that . when it germinates, the root system also being very small, often has dif- ficulty in getting sufficient plant food to become established. In a dry sea- son, therefore, germination is reduced considerably. = The culture used is a nitrogen carryiig culture which, when properl administered to the seed, covers eac! seed' with a film of nitrogen bacteria to assist the tender root system, fol- lowing germination, i Sufficient culture to inoculate one bushel of alfalfa, sweet clover or Red ° clover, costs 26¢. This culture Jay be obtained from M._ Campbell; Agricultural Representative, at Ux- bridge. It will be forwarded on re- quest by mail or by calling at the office. o er pe eg wi = a ee re
