Of the Order of St. John the Divine Two Sisters ai St. *John thc Di- vine, clad in the flawing iblack habit ai the Order, visited the Women's Auxiliary ai St. John's Anglican Churcli an Friday, Nov. 4tb. Sister Juliana, who is in charge ai a Rest Home for men- tally i1, spake ta the aiternoon auxiliary. Sister Thurza wbo spoke ta the ladies in the evening, is responsible for a girls' board- iag schoal in Taronto. Sister Juliana in her tahk ta the aiternoon W.A. traced relig- iaus life back ta the tîme ai Jesus, wbcn he demanded the ricli young ruler ta renounce al bis warldly goods in order that lie might be- came His disciple. Duriag the days ai the earhy Christian church many belicved that ber- mits in caves could escape the fearful corruption ai the world, but later gathered tagether and formed reigiaus arders. Ail such compunities, whether Anglican or Iraman Catbolic are based on the same ideas, having strict rules, and are headed by one per- son. There are three vows wbich eacli Sister must take befare she is accepted inta the Order. First t he vow ai poverty-nathing that she uses or wears is her own personal praperty and it is against the rules ta accept any igifts for ersel. Though tey make na dlaims that aving no- thing. is virtuaus, they believe that God is completely and utter- ly satisfying. The second vow is that ai chas- tity. Tbey mhust promise ta re- main uamarried so that ahi their lave may be given ta God iirst and then share it with other people. This also leaves them free ta be sent anywbere ta serve. The final vaw-and the most difficuit ai ah-is that ai com- plete obedience, in action, thought and judgment. The members ai the Order believe that they are deiinitely called by God ta be re- igiaus, aiten li spite oi their own personal wishes. When an apastuhant enters Uic convent she is given a very plain black dress ta wear, with black colars and cuifs. During this per- lad wbich lasts for about 6 moaths, the newcamer is at Per- fect liberty ta leave at any time if she sa wishes. If she decides ta ga an, she becomes a novice, a period which hasts fram 3 ta 4 years. The novice is givea a habit mucb like that ai the Sister, cx- cept that she wears a white veil instead ai black, and a plain round callar. The ceremony whereby she receives ber habit is a very impressive one. The no- vice enters the chapel dressed as a bride and then proceeds ta the altar where ber habit bas been bhessed. During this time as a navitiate. she is being tested, and if she wishcs, may stili heave the corvent, without being under -If it's okay îvth you coach, I'd rather go home and hear the gaine on my radio.

It is the day ai ber vinai vaws, wbicb she makes at the Mather House in England. On this day she receives ber black veil, square linen cal- Ian, and a heavy black card for ber waist, which is knottcd tbree times, symbolic ai the three vows ai the Order. To revoke these vows is a terrible sin. Sister Juliiana said very little about the wark ai the Sisterbood though tbey are very busily en- gaged in work rehated ta the Cburch, for they beieve that it is the ie in union with God wbicb realhy matters. Thaugli the gener- ai public usually feel rather sarry far Uic nuns in their cumbersome black garments, the sisters as- sured those present that their pity was being wasted, for it was a great jay ta them ta be able ta vkear it. Their faces radiated the abva us happiness which was theirs as members ai Uic order. Mrs. M. J. Underhi, president ai the Auxiliary, conducted the meeting, and the rector, Rev. Earl Sigston, intraduced the guests ai the meeting. Mrs. Sigston, a former pupil ai Sister Tburza's, moved a vote ai thanks ta Sister Juliana for ber inspirifig and in- formative talk.

Discuss Theme "Serve Hlm Alone" Betty Çowle presided at the Departmnent meeting of Trinity' C.G.I.T. on October 26. Following the Purpose and Matto, secretary Lamna Fletcher read minutes o! previaus meetings. It was decidcd to do shelîcraf t work as a dcpart- ment projcct an December 7. An inspiring and challenging service ai worship on thc therne "Serve Him Alane" was presented in Uic Beginners Class Roam. Tihis service was cùnducted by Eileen Spicer and Jeanne Bond reading Scripture and Miss Helen Prit- chard gave the meditation and prayer. Group meetings were then held. The Senior Graup under Miss Pritchard and Wilma Richards decided ta continue under the graup name Tru-Ki-Lo (Truth, Kindness, Loyalty). Muriel Rey- nolds presided for the business session with Jeanne Bond reading minutes and Treasurer Florence Cook taking the afiering. Girls! were urged ta wear C.G.I.T. uni- iarm each week, and with the correct insignid. It was encaurag- ing ta see sa many wearing the officiai uniform at this meeting. The girls decided ta contribute gifts and a complete Christrnas dinner for a needy famihy of 5 this year. The group dispersed following Friendship Circle and Mizpah Benediction. The Intermediate Group met with Miss Margaret Farmer and Marion Dippell in charge. An in- tradiactian ai the study book was given by the leader. Bnie reports ai the Women's Rally were given by Shirley Pollock and Marion Dippell. A short business period was held with Dorothy Hockin reading thc minutes. Treasurer Shirley Pollack received the ai- fening. Recreation was enjayed fallowed by Friendship Circle and Mizpah Benediction. The Public Will Pay Industrial Pensions (John Atkins hi The Scene) The satisfaction with wbicb many gaod citizens are wehcoming the news that same great indus- tries bave yielded ta union de- mands and undertaken ta colhect eaaugh money from their custam- crs ta pay their workers pensions ai one bundred dollars a month, inchuding secihity benefits, at the age ai sixty-iivc, is bascd an a very superficial view. Tbeir be- lief is that these large emplayers are themsehves in some way pay- ing thc pensians. The fact is that thc eiplayers couhd not pay out ai their awn pockets the pensions agrced upon. Tbey must recover ahl ai their casts fram their cus- tomers ta remaîn in business. Tbe United States gaverament has been guilty ai a seriaus in- jury ta tax-payers in recommcnd- iag ta industry payment ai what are ostensibly non-coatributory welfarc 'benefits ta workers. It is truc that the warkers may net cantribute ta their own benefits by direct deductions fram their pay cheques but they will pay a part througb their taxes and wben they buy goods manufac- tured by industries which coleet pension maney from their cus- tomers and turn it over ta tbeir emplayees. Pensions that appear ta -be non-contributory are an economic evil whicb adds greatly ta the burdens of ail self-em- ployed people, including farmers, wbo must pay for the pensians ai others and provide their awn. Disguised non-contributory pen- sions are la reality tax-paid and cost-recovered at the expease ai thase who cannot benefit from them. Non-contributory pensions afready have seriously decreased the incarne of thrifty people who provided for themselves but who are now unable to ibuy their needs out of incarnes which should have been sufficient for their modest comfort. The savings af the most industrious and prudent people are being taken fram them by in- flation to provide non-contribu- tory pensions for others. Unless contributory pensions become the general practice in both public and private schernes the burden of themf will çrush theeconomy aund prevent the thriftY fm PO.' viding capital for lndusty m n4 governrent.
