Organized entirely on.a voluntary asis, the women forming this organization have given liberally of their time and en- ergy in taking care of the needs of families in distress. Only the hundreds of families which have benfits from their self-sacri- ficing labors can fully appreciate what these ois have meant, but it is known that undreds of children, as well as their par- ents, have been kept warm and comfortable during the past winter because these wom- en saw a task that needed doing, and set themselves to do it. + Oshawa ought to be grateful to the Wo- men's Welfare League for the work it has done in taking care of needy families. The city has been relieved of a tremendous bur- den, and those in need have found a ready and responsible ear to their requests. It is announced that the work of the league will be resumed in October, and while we can only express the hope that the need will not be as great next winter as it has been during that which has passed, we can have the assurance that whatever need there is will be well met by the Women's Welfare League. A NATION WITHOUT A SOUL - Fred L. Fowke, former M.P., for Ontario riding, in addressing. the annual dinner ot the Ontario Dental Association, brought forward an aspect to the problem of fight- ing Communism that is too often overlook- ed. He asserted that Communism was merely a "bogey-man',, and that it would eventually be overthrown by the strength of Christianity. Soviet Russia, the centre of Communism, made' its great mistake when it tried to throw out the Christian religion, when it destroyed churches and prohibited its peo- ple to gather for Christian worship. In do- ing so, it destroyed the Soul of the nation, and a nation without a soul must surely perish. Nearly two thousand years of his- tory, aye, and even more, all point to the fate of the nations which forget God, start- ing with the people of Israel as they wan- dered through the wilderness on their way to the promised land, and down until the days when Germany suffered eclipse in 1918. As surely as the sun shines in the heavens, history will repeat itself, and the religion which the Soviet leaders have tried to will in turn destroy them. + All peoples have the roots of religion grounded in their very being, and these roots cannot be ruthlessly torn out. Per- ecution only makes them stronger, and the unist leaders who think they have y Christianity in Russia will have & rude awakening. Sooner or later the lat- ent forces of religious faith will let them- selves loose, and out of the sufferings and of the Russian people will arise & new regime in which Communism will ve no place, Just as the early Christians t their faith in spite of persecution and Yering, so will the Russian people, in deir hearts, keep the faith until the day comes 'when it cannot be suppressed any: . And when that day comes, Com- munism will be doomed. 2 SIXTY YEARS OF SERVICE Times has just received a copy of a interesting and unusual publication, Diamond Jubilee edition of The Cana- a mégazine which is published twice = month by the students of *the Ontario School for the Deaf, at Belleville.

RH. TUCK, Opt.D (Copyright 1928) THE EY CHILDREN HE BYRART 0° én we consider as already mentioned that ope fourth of the school children have poor vision, this will react as a strain on teach- ers as well. ds on the children. The effort of the teachers is tested to the limit with those who blunder halt blind at their work retarding not only thefnselves but the rest of the class. The growth of visual defects is found to be progressive due as we can see to the strain on the formative tissues of the eyes and. many of these conditions so created continue progressive through life as a penalty paid by the most progressive, studious and industrious. We should not forget however, that as these conditions grow they are being studied and a knowledge of their existence, camse and relief will become in time as it is now a more and more common knowl- edge and many of the children in later years will be in a position to say as some are now saying if I had my eyes attended to in earlier life, much of this trouble now ex- isting should be relieved. While' many of these conditions grow and develop as a natural se- quence to strain in the effort to see clearly, many of them are hered itory, But they are certain to mani- fest themselves seriously during school life due to the strain on the eyes while the tissues are plastic or while the eye is in its formative condition. Illness is also a contri- butory factor, in that it makes the already weakened tissues less able to withstand any added strain, To be continued, Before a city can accomplish much it must have team-work. Its citizens must co-operate-- they must show a willingness to help one another, A spirit of co-operation and pride in the home city must be instilled intogevery thought and action of every individual. Cities that are going ahead the fastest show this spirit. A city must sell itself to Its citizens before it can sell itself to the outside world. In many cities part of the citi- zens pull one way and part an- other, resulting in discord among the ones who should pull togeth- er. There is something good in every person. If people knew each other better they would pull together better. If citizens don't pull together, they will have no pull anywhere, CITIES MUST BE AWAKE TO THEIR OPPORTUNITIES AND STAY AWAKE. ¢ IF A CITY IS TO SUCCEED, EVERY CITIZEN MUST ASSIST IN THE WORKING OUT OF PLANS FOR BETTER BUSI. NESS AND DEVELOPMENT. An American entertaining a dis- tinguished English gentleman, was showing his visitor round Newport, the famous pleasure resort of the Americans. "You observe," re- marked the host, "that when we Americans devote ourselves to plea- sure, we do so regardless of ex- pense." "I should not put it that way" responded the Englishman, "but ra- ther that you devote yourselves to expense regardless of pleasure!" Orpen's "Palm Sunday' Shocks Many People London, May ,29 -- Sir Wil- liam Orpen's painting "Palm Sunday, A.D. 334% now on exhibi- tion at the Royal Academy, Is considered by many people an astonishing picture, to say the least, and a good many London- ers have been shocked by it. Some critics call it a caricature of Christ, and it is the subject of a good deal of controversy, How- ever a number, of patrons of art see nothing objectionable in the picture, and the well-known Brit- ish artist, Sir John Lavery, and his wife profess to like it, It is a picture of the Saviour seated on a white donkey, whose elongated ears stick straight up, both figures being unusual in treatment, The animal is stand- ing, while a kneeling woman in a white cloak is receiving a bene- dictlon from Jesus, Whose right hand is raised with the two first fingers extended. In the immedi. ate background are three women standing with their faces turned toward the figure on the donkey. e women have their hands, aim. "What does it mean?' This question was asked frequently at the opening of the exhibition at the Royal Academy, and Sir William Orpen himself was ask- ed the question shortly after- ward by a representative of The News-Chronicle. His reply was: "If the people read their Bible they will understand the pic- ture." "Do you not think it will of- fend the susceptibilities of a great many pepole?'"' Sir Wil- liam was asked, but he declined to make any statement upon the possible' effect of it upon the average Christian mind, nor would he discuss whethef it might be considered irreverent. "There is absolutely nothing in the picture but what is ob- vious," he said. It is a picture of Christ going to Jerusalem and there is nothing specially signifi, cant about it," Sir William disclosed the inter esting fact that the three fig- ures in the background holding palm branches were those of his three daughters. Looking at them trom lgft to right they are Miss \l.ry Orpen, Miss Christine (Kit) Orpen, and Miss Diana Orpen. They have frequently acted as models for their father. Gui St. Bernard, News-Chron- icle art critic said: "Many people will feel it ought not to be there. Whatever the artist may have had in mind I cannot help feel- ing that it may be interpreted as a caricature of Christ, and will therefore be regarded as an af- front. Everyone knows that Or- pen is one of England's most skilled draughtsmen, He can draw figures and donkeys as anatomically perfect as crayon or brush could show them-- and is habitually an out-and-out real- ist. If he wants to show that he has other styles as well, he is entitled to do so. Is it necessary, though, to choose a subject which is held in deep reverence by thousands of people? "rhe crowd - at Burlington House will think not. They will look at the comic donkey, bear- ing a comic figure rpresenting the Christ, the absurd kneeling tigure being blessed, and the rid- jculous trio beyond. But they will not call it' 'comedy.' Their verdict will be 'bad taste.' As a picture, this exhibit has nothing to recommend it beyond one or two passages of delicate color. The design is feeble and the naive drawing pointless." Sir John and Lady Lavery's liking of "Palm Sunday, A.D, 33" was expressed by Lady Lavery. She said: "It is beautiful; it has beautiful color. Sir John has sent a note to Sir William telling him so. The . picture has sim- plicity. 1 am sure Sir Willlam never had any idea of carica- ture." General opinion however is against this view, though Alfred Chas. Bossom, Alderman London County Council, noted architect who recently bought Jacob Ep- stein's much-discussed piece of sculpture "Genesis" (a primitive mother flercely and -passionate- ly loving and protecting from harm her unborn child) thinks Orpen's picture "most interest- ing," and leads the beholder to a study of the subject, not only in the picture but in the Bible, Since the controversy over the Orpen picture began it has been revealed that the central figure was copied by Sir William from a carving, 700 years old, in a museum in Berlin, It is said when Sir Willlam saw the carving he was struck by its beauty and had it photographed. This fact is re- garded by admirers of the paint- ing as a return on Sir William's part to the primitives. Major Sir William Orpen, who was born in Ireland in 1878, and has an international reputa- tion as a -portrait .painter, his works being well-known in Can- ada, is President of the Interna- tional Society of Sculpture, Painters and Gravers; President of the National portrait Society; President of the Warwick -and Coventry Art Soclety: member of the Beaux Arts, Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium; and Member of the Academy of Arts and Letters, United States, and has the honorary degree of LL.D.

From an accidental start, slightly more than a decade ago, the "explorations along the bor- der" by the Winnipeg group have developed until they are com- manding internatiopal attention. Spokesman for the coteric of delvers in the psychic is Dr. T. Glen Hamilton, practising sur- geon, whose scientific work along psychic lines is a hobby. 'Many folks in the professions spend their time at golf, say, or bridge," comments Dr. Hamilton, "but I find as much enjoyment in these experiments.' Men and women well known in Winnipeg are included in Dr. Hamilton's group. Two others be- sides himself are practising physi- cians and several others are pro- minent in professional, education- al and business circles.

A large battery of cameras is set up in Dr. Hamilton's labora- tory, and with them he has obtain- ed photographs which stand as possibly the most imposing psy- chic phenomena. The doctor, who has been a member of the Manito. ba legislature and of the Winni- peg School Board, has been suc- cessful in having well-known Win- nipeg citizens present during his photographic notations of achieve- ments in his observatory, First association of Dr. Hamil- ton with psychic work developed some 12 years ago when war- time literature tended toward the psychic. Mrs. Hamilton acciden- tally noted that a little Scottish woman, friend of the family, was apparently '"mediumistic." Ex- periments which commenced as casual observations developed un- til they became serious endeavors to chéck up on the exact nature of the phenomena. Work of the Winnipeg group, according to Dr. Hamilton, is ex- ploratory endeavor "along the bor- der lines" to determine the nature and course and accompanying fac- tors of phsychic phenomena. It in. terlocks, he points out, with prac- tically every branch of science, and is inseparable from physiol- ogy, and physics and from various theories on energy and matter. "The work is particularly inter- esting, scientifically states Dr, Hamilton, "with relation to the questions of personalify and con- sciousness. It ultimately carries one into the all-absorbing problem of the survival of, personality. This is where it interlocks with religion and where, due to misunderstand- ing, arises the feeling of religious opposition in some quarters to psychic research. "It is a comforting fact that any deductions we are able principles of religion," Dr. Ham- arked. "Ingtead, the re- sults of our research tremendous- ly substantiate r ous princi- ples, offering scientific _explana- 'tion for a steries of faith. impels our investigations," tends Dr. Hamilton, We axe mere. ly attempting to open 'up, by which 'apparently seemed = avail- able.

While the results of Dr. Ham- {lton's experiments during the last two or three years have been withheld in the main from the public, pending their presentation in official and fully-prepared form, it i» known that the Win- nipeg group stands as the first to record photographically in ecto- plasm the features of actually- known persons.

Here are kept wild beasts of all sorts for use in animal scenes, and in this connection an amusing study is told by Billie Dove. It concerns a producer, and an actress who was to play in a big animal scene in which one of the Selig lions also played a principal part.

But d-does the lion?" Asked by his teacher why he had + been absent from school the previ- ous day, the boy looked uneasy and did not reply. The schoolmaster insisted, and af- ter a further spasm, the boy, point- ing to the note which the teacher had not noticed on the table, blurted out, "Please, sir, I don't know what is in the note."
