PAGE TWO EDJI7ORI 4LS Church Leadership and Exampre Maybe we wîll be accused of being an old fogy in some of our thinking but we heartily agree with flev. Derwyn Owen, professer at Trinity College, and chair- man of the Diocesan Board of Religieus Education of the Anglican Church, when he said: "Sales, bazaars, bridge nights, illustrated talks, moving pictures, cooking pictures, cooking demonstrations and meney-raising projects take up too much of the time and energy of the average parishioner." These things, he told the Toronto Diocesan Synod, are commendable in their place. But they are "net the Christian religion, and the parish is not discharging its true functions in any of these activities." This lack of religieus teaching, he said, shows ne awareness of the problems tearing the seul of modern man te shreds. What the church needs, he said, is a corps of trained lay leaders. "Piety is ne substitute for training." It was in Toronto aIse that Rev. J. L. W. McLean, of Victoria, retiring mederator A Paradox of Two Since Bruce Hutchison, eminent Canadian author and journalist, bas be- cerne a feature columnist in The Financial Pest his weekly articles have become a "émust" in our weekly reading. He bas been making a motor trip across Canada recently and giving bis readers the benefit cf his observations. We were particulariy înterested in his cemments about St. Laurent and Duplessis and we pass on te our readers his'cemparison cf these two prominent French-Canadians: Poliis in Quebec City-unbelievably confusing te an Englisb-speaking Cana dian -reflect the rapid transformation cf this people's life. Hence the suprerne paradox and riddle cf national politics. Quebec votes for M. Duplessis provin- cial iy when be attacks the St. Laurent government for invading provincial rights. Just as surely il turns about and votes for Mr. St. Laurent next day. Each cf these rival leaders cf the race, cf ten at war but temporarily at peace, represents and dem- inates bis people by- advocating opposite polîcies. Nevertheless, in the shrewd mind of the French-Canadian, this contradiction centains a secret logic and expresses his deepest instincts. Both Mr. St. Laurent and M. Duplessis are French-Canadians and though they may quarrel on detailed pelicy they can be trusted te protect the race. No two men, cf course, could be more of the Presbyterian Clfurch in Canada, adjured church leaders to do more lead- ing and less deploriné. Returned from a tour of the mission fields in Formosa, the moderator said he' had feund the church there full of entisiasm anid activity. On his return te Canada he found a church which seemed to have fallen asieep. "There is a sort of paralysis among Presbyterians," he said. "Sports, social affairs, and clubs take up people's interests." It is difficuit for the church - an organization based on spiritual concepts, cornrissioned te preach and practise a gospel of the spirit - to achieve its mis- sion in the midst of a mechanical and highly materialistic age. Yet this same universal materialisrn forms the very challenge which the church is designed te meet. It is an old and proved axiom that example is better than precept. In every walk of life it is the best. It is by example that the church must attain and beid leadership and show the way of the spirit. F rench-Canadians unlike. Each has carved eut for hîmself a separate compartment in the Frencý'- Canadian mind. Mr. St. Laurent is admired and respected fer his virtues and his people are proud that one cf their own sons dom- mnates the nation. Yet it must be said in cander that he has neyer touched the imagination cf his people in the fashion cf Laurier, Lapointe, Bourassa and Mercier. He bas built a successful government and, in Quebec, an unbeatable party. He bas net built a legend, is perhaps toc old te build il and bas neyer sought te build it. Te Quebec be is a great man, but remote. Unlike his predecessors in Ottawa, he is net a folk figure. M. Duplessis, the lesser man in history, is far dloser te the people than bis rival. He is powerful, one rnight almost say, despite his faulîs. The federal statesman stands on a foundatien of poiicy often antipathetic te Quebec but accepted as inevitable. The provincial politiciân stands on his intimate knewledge of the human being. Mr. St. Laurent sees Canada whole; M. Duplessis lives and moves and bas bis being only in Quebec. "Vote for St. Laurent and Duplessis" is the slogan and rnarching song cf Quebec Polîtics and doubtless it will serve se long as two French-Canadians divide and 3'et paradoxically unite their people. Those who think that the waning power cf the CCF party marks the end -ocf socialist attitudes in Canada oughîte take a look at some cf the proposaIs put ferward by the Trades and Labor Cengress of Canada at their annual convention in Windsor. Among the several pinkish reselutions approved by the TLC is one which propos- es that bousing loans, instead cf being made as they now are tbrough banks and insurance companies, with a guarantee by the Federal Government in event cf default, should instead be made directlv te the borrower by Central Mortgage and I{ousing Corporation. The effect cf such a scherne, if adopt- rhe farmer is better off than the urban worker, when ail the factors are taken intocensideration. That was the opinion cf a majority cf farm forums after their discussions last winter. The States- man wilI net argue the point, but passes along tbis conclusion as a rnatter cf interest. There are rnany factors te be consid- ered, the forums peint out. Working heurs, incorne, independence, security, were list- ed as the most important. But sucb things as family welfare, recreation, educatjonal National Military One year's national military service for the yeung men of Canada is proposed by the Toronto Telegram's publisher, John Bassett, Jr. That suggestion will have a broad appeal te citizens across the country, thinks The Financial Post, for man y reasons aside altogether from defense. It is rather doubtful in this age of ccmplicated military equipment and tactics whether one year's training would be sufficient te produce valuable soldiers.

A typical conclusion was stated by the Postville Forum in Ontario- "While the urban worker usually bas an efficient union that bas establisbed fixed heurs, higher pay, vacations, grievance pro- cedure, etc., we feel the farmer has more ever-ail security and engages in work that is more satisfying tbrough pride cf accornplishment" Service But, as Mr. Bassett points eut, there should be substantial other benefits, including improved bealth for Canadian youtb. Mr. Bassett's proposaI deserves serious and-above ahl, calm consideration. He did net make it witb the idea cf stirring up old centroversies, but te stact us thinking. We hope il serves that useful purpose. A Shameful Record Desertion figures, presented by the Defence Department in House cf Cern- mens, May 25, raises serieus questions about Canadian Arny's recruiting policy, states The Fort Erie Letter-Review. Arrny and Air Force interpret deser- tien as illegai absence afler 21 days, Navy as illegal absence afler 90 days. On this basis, the Air Force bad 64 deserters as of March 31, 1955. The Navy had 154, and th~e Army 1.021. From the start cf Korean War (Ma-,. 1950) te March 31, 1955, the Nav'v released 20 men for deserting, the Air Force 153, and the Armv, 3,816. In September, 1953, the Army lisÏed 4,917 deserters--one-tenth cf its total strength at that tirne.
