AT THE SPLENDID SELECTIONS | OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS | Bay, and for thirty-three years a worker in Northern Manitoba, brought to the gathering the chal- lege of home missions, Graphi- cally he pictured the extent of his presbytery, which extended, he said, from the 53rd parallel of latitude to the North Pole. It was sparsely settled, and included the new port of Churchill, and brought him in contact with the colossal things of nature and of life. The new Hud- son Bay Railway passed right through it, and he gave the interest- ing information that part of this ratlway is' built on frozen muskeg. "If this muskeg were to thaw," lie said, "i't would be 'Good-bye, Hud- son Bay Railway," but it has not thawed out for %0,000 years, Speaking of the people in the north, most of whom were Indians and Eskimos, Mr, Stephens said he wished to pay a tribute to the won- derful work of the Anglican missions to the Eskimos. "I hope the young people and the whole United Church," he said, "will always honor the work of other churches. We are too great a church to disparage the work of other churches, so 1 pay tribute to the Anglicans, and to the great mission work of the Roman church." The mission work in Northern Manitoba, he said, had been started in 1840, and he hoped that when the centenary was being celebrated the United Church of Canada would fittingly honor the great memory of George McDougall and the other pioneer mission workers. Critics Answered Answering the "unwise and ignor- ant criticisms of. callow youths," Mr. Stephens said the fincst and best young men of the United Church were giving their lives "in services in this northern area, and he told the story of the establishing of a mission in the Flin Flon gold area two and a half years ago hy two young men, who had in that time built a church and manse and firmly established the United Church in that mining district, "The Unit- ed Church," he said, "administers to ninety per cent of the English- speaking people on the prairies." Mr. Stephens' address. held hi audience spellbound, and he was ac- corded enthusiastic thanks at the conclusion, SATURDAY AFTERNOON Address on Japan Rev. A, R. Stone, of Nagano, Ja- pan, was the speaker of Saturday afternoon's session of the Young People's Conference, and his inter- esting and fascinating address in- cluded some first hand information on the conditions that exist in rural Japan today. "Japan is a remark- able country," said Mr, Stone. He told how the cities are as up to date in their civilization as are the cities of Canada and the United States All modern conveniences are used there and modern methods of comn- merce and industry egist there as in this country. In comparison to these conditions are those of the country where farmers carry on as they did over one hundred and fifty years ago, and forty-eight per cent of the population of Japan is com posed of people of the farming class [wi "wl wy) d a ww J ---- Protect your car with RE D INDIAN SUB-ZERO GEARLIFE and High Pressure Grease Falling temperatures and approaching snows call for a change in the grease you use in your car.

No Social Life There is no social life in the vil- lages, said Mr, Stone, and the stan- dard of living is very low. The chil- dren have never been educated, and much less have they received any Christian training. Missionaries of the United Church, however, are now beginning to discover the best means of getting the people inter- ested in what they have to teach them and along with different forms of social service work they are spreading the Christian gospel. Rev. Mr. Stone described this as a con- crete Christian work, Through the medium of kindergartens and pub- lic schools for the children of the farming country Christianity is gradually gaining a foothold in Ja- pan, Communists Active The interference of the Russian Communists is a great hindrance to the Christian workers but it too is gradually being overthrown as more young people are taught the gospel of Jesus Christ, through the won- derful new movement known as that of "The Kingdom of God Move- ment." The Japanese farmers arc proud of their own countrymen who can lead and teach them and they want their leaders to be of their own number, The work of the Christian mis- sionary in Japan is to live:a Chris- tian life before those he wishes to teach, and win the people by a de- monstration of Christian living. Previous to the afternoon session at which Rev. Mr, Stone addressed the young people, the delegates to the convention were taken on a tour of the city and shown places of interest. Reports of various com- mittees and the election of officers were other features of the Saturday afternoon session, SATURDAY AFTERNOON ~ Inspiring Rally With the rays of the afternoon sun falling on them, the delegates to the convention of the Bay of Quinte Young People's Conference, gathered yesterday in St. Andrew's United Church for a grand Young People's Rally in which they were joined by the Young People's CG.LT. and CSET, groups. The address was delivered by Rev. Ar- cher Wallace, eminent author and preacher, who spoke of the enjoy- ment and pleasure to be found in the gospel of gov Christ. He based his remarks on fifth chapter of Matthew and the seventeent] "I am come not to destroy, but 1 fulfil." Jesus was regarded as a destruc tive critic by the Pharisees, who at tacked him because of his saying and work among the people and i was for that reason that Christ ut tered the words of the text, Rev Wallace said, that most destructive critics were not great men, indeed anyone can find fault with little au- thority for doing so. However onc | thing we should not do, was to make fun of these men who pioneered thi: | country and built the foundations of { those things which we are now en- | joying. We should remember how | much we owe to them, he insisted. In the revised edition of the Bibl the word "fulfil" was taken to mean | "unveil," the speaker said. Previ- {ous to the coming of Christ the i people had their ideas of God but they were vague and it was only through Jesus that the true God was révealed to us. It was unfor- ! tunate, he said, that people looked upon unchristian religions as false, for the savage has his conception of a God even though it be A re: from our own. The savage has a religion in which he is seeking after God, while in christianity God is seeking man. Can we not get a sa- ner view of non christian lands he- | cause we in christianity have the | answer to their ery for a God, { asked Rev, Wallace ? Fulfilment of Desires I believe, asserted Rev. Wallace, that we find in Jesus Christ the ful- filment of all our desires. He brings us the satisfaction of all longing for happiness, peace and By. Robert Burns the eminent Scottish poet, was haunted by religion and many people in modern times have the same feeling, but this the speaker said, was a misunderstanding of what Jesus brought us when he brought the Gospel. Anyone who thinks it a sin to laugh has not the right conception of religion; for it is in Christ that we find the satisfac- tion of all longing for enjoyment. Many people in the present age, who have failed to find enjoyment in life have turned to drugs and other forms of vice. For these people; Rev. Wallace said, there was the solace of the knowledge that there is no lasting joy in the world except in Jesus Christ. Placing God First In conclusion Rev. Wallace said that the religion that we represent must never consent to be negative; it must always be positive, Those who are always saying "don't" never-build up the economic order. Every encouragement must be given to build on a firm foundation. Once we get a positive way of doing things, the rest will take care of it- self. For that reason, place God first in your religion and life and all else will fall in line, If we commit ourselves to daily communion with Jesus, our lives will be positive and not a negative factor, stated Rev Wallace. v J'Let us find Christ, our life long friend and all questions that have harassed us will be so solved for all time," asserted the speaker, In the brief service that preceded Rev. Wallace's address Homer Bor- land of Pete h, lead in _the responsive reading; Stephen G, Say- well of Oshawa, lead in prayer and Beverly Fook of Port Hope read the New Testament lesson. Rev. Wallace was introduced by J. C. An- derson, past presidént of the con. vention, who presided.

It wes nocn the goem~ "+w» There was a forty-minute interva: for lunch, and the new boy was loung- ing, bitter, disgusted, against a strip of dirty, disfigured brick wall that had once been painted white. Far above his head, tha hoy could hear the healthy one-o'clock roar of the store, beating rhythmically, like the sea upon a deep shore, He was away from it all for the forty minutes of his lunch "hour", but it seemed all to be with him still~the noise of it, the confusion, the horrible smells. A gong, above him, behind him, somewhere up the wide, dirty utilita- rian brick steps that rose steeply be- tween two marred and grimy white jbrick walls, rang twice, That meant {that tha second lune shift was due to report upstairs and relieve the third, The boy heard it but he did not move in its direction. Instead, he took from his pocket a small folded yellow envelope of stout brown paper and looked within it, It contained money---three dollars, some cents, He had been working a day or he would have been working that long, when the store closed to- night. His pay was at the rate of twenty-two dollars per week, He bad dropped the torn envelope and was putting the money into his pocket when a sound in his neigh- bourhood made him turn suddenly, at the foot of the stairs. He was not, apparently, the only occupant of the basement, Backing cautiously out across the heavily wrapped bundles that were a dozen times the size of her small body was what he at first supposed ito be a child.

She had loaded herself with kit- chen brushes; now she startea to- ward the stairway. I'll get us both out of it!" she prom- ised confidently. "Don't you say a 'word, Joe, I'll run it!"
