McFadyen, Embalm6r Undertaking Prices to Suit Everyone SERVICE THE BEST INFLATION AND THE CHURCH Have you ever considered the effect which inflation might have upon the work ot the* church in its various departments? If Canada should lose the battle against this foe, it would mean the serious curtailment, if not the extinction, of activities for the guidance and welfare of youth, care of the aged and infirm, and the support of misisons at home and abroad. The danger is realized by leaders in all spheres of religious work. Among them is Mrs. Harvery Agnew, president of the National Council, Young Women's Christian Association, who declares that inflation would mean the end of all voluntary organizations. Not a pleasant prospect for the thousands of women's church groups. Their work in the home missions and in missions abroad, as well as their activities within the church, depend largely on the contributions of members. Many a church mortgage has been burned through the efforts of the women's organizations, many a destitut; family helped. And in the pre-war days, many a foreign mission operated largely through gifts from the women's missionary societies. Money for these various projects has been raised through voluntary giving and through teas, bazaars, socials and mite boxes. Under inflation, cost of materials that go into articles for sale at bazaars would be prohibitive and the same hardship would affect all other fund-raising projects. Uncontrolled prices would leave contributors hard pressed for the bare necessities of life. Inevitably this would result in dwindling church collections. Keenly aware of this threat, women's church organizations have been in the forefront of the attack against inflation. During the past two years most of these societies have appointed liason officers to work with the Consumer Branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade 3oard. They realize that effective price-checking is posisble only through a comprehensive understanding of the purpose of price control. And they know also that this understanding can be achieved best by having a liason officer in every won-en's church group. Personal Apathy will not win the battle against inflation. Price-watching cannot be left to someone else any more than one should leave her duty to her church to others. |The mental and spiritual crusading power of "every Canadian woman is needed in this battle.

WHITE Butcher Phone 125j ADDRESSES ON THE MOVE... MAIL TO REINFORCEMENT UNITS A CHALLENGE TO US ALL . . . THIS is a war of movement. Never before have troops been moved such incredible distances, in so many theatres of war, so quickly. Night and day, thousands of men are in motion, by sea transport, motor truck and air... edging into enemy territory, shifting to keep the element of surprise. Did you ever stop to think what it means, under these trying conditions, to find your friend or relative, and put your letter into his hands? Yet in spite of the tremendous task involved, tracing men who are moving from reinforcement units in England to group depots in Italy ... or from one location to another... or through hospitalization or while on leave... in the face of every sort of war hazard... 31,500,000 letters in addition to parcels and other items, reached our men in 1943. CANADA POST OFFICE Issued by fhe HON. W. P. MULOCK, K.C, A P., POSTMASTER GENERAL WAR SERVICES OF THE BIBLE SOCIETY "No Atheists on Rubber Rafts" Says Returned Airman Referring to the words of an airman shot down over the Atlantic, "There are no atheists on a rubber raft," a soldier in the Philippines, "The New Testament is a wonder-worker in a fox-hole when an air raid is on." The Upper Canada Bible Society in its annual report which has just been issued, reports a circulation throughout Canada of over 600,000 copies of the Society's "Service Edition" of the New Testament. This special edition is supplied without cost through the Chaplain Services for all Canadian men and women on active srvice. The Society's war services include also provision of Scripture in the rquired languages for prisoners of war and interned aliens, and for the sick and wounded. The Bible Society supplies for inclusion in the emergency equipment placed in life-boats and rubber rafts a copy of the New Testament enclosed in a specially designed waterproof cover. The report is an inspiring story of Scripture distribution, not only in the Upper Canada Auxiliary in the Province of Ontario, but throughout Canada, and throughout the world. The Society calls for a new realization of present demands for Holy Scripture and the oporranlties of its War Services, as well as the immense demands for Scripture which will face the Society with the coming of peace. With the end of the conflict the Society estimates "an average annual ciruclation of twenty to twenty-five million copies for some years in order to overtake the work we cannot do now." Othc- highlights of the report include : Over 100 different languages have been required lor Canada alone--46 languages were required for Ontario last year. A circulation last year throughout Canada and Newfoundland of 380,000 volumes of Scripture. Seven new translations of Scripture were added during the past year by the parent Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society, whose list of versions now number 758 languages. Growing literacy in India, Africa and China add greatly to the Society's opportunities and responsibilities. The Upper Canada Bible Society founded in 1819 as an auxiliary of the parent organization, the British and Foreign Bible Society, has over 500 branches throughout the Province of Ontario. SHIPWRECKED BY DEFAULT Civilization has nearly in these days suffered shipwreck, not because of the power of its enemies, but because of the slackness of its defenders. -- Clement R.
