Premier Drury, 15 4 recent address at Toronto, said: "We must get Away from the edu- se#onal machine that we have built 'wp. We've beer fofgetting the grist we were grinding ;wd've heen for- getting the personal element. Ninety per cent. of our peopls have been go- ing out into life with very little or 06 educational Tmpetus or inspira- tion." True words, as the teachers of this province know all too well THE FARMERS AND THE LABOR b MEN. : There is a curious Nmp in the logic of some of the articles appearing in . the press about the U.F.0:-Labor gov- ernment in Ontario, declares the To- ronto Star. thes * floubt 7 dxpressed of the wisiom 'of _ the attempt of the farmers, as a spe- nate the 5 90 | carefully expended.

After acknowledging the hearty support accorded by the or-| ganizers, the workers and the press, 8ir Henry declares that 'a continuna- | tion of the spirit that has made the | Joan a Success would render absolute | Iy certain a bigger und greater Can- i ada. ed "Now that the loan is over," he] concludes, "and the money raised, it | becomes the, duty of the government to see that it is properly applied to the purpose for which it was raised, and that all due and proper econ- omies be exercised in carrying on the government of our country, The homely virtues of work and thrift are all that Canada to-day needs and it is the duty of the government to the greatest extent possible tg apply these | in the conduct of our business."

It will welcome this statement as an evidence that the millions raised by the loan will be no fears regarding the future of Can- | ada, provided she practices "the homely virtues of work and thrift." May his words be taken to heart by the people. : THE CHALLENGE. Altogether too much criticism has been hurled at the Church. The critics overlook the fact that the | Church visible does not consist of some sanctimonious group of narrow- minded ecclesiastics But of all Chris- tian people in the world. Wien, therefore, the Church is spoken of, let it be remembered that we are all part of it. The challenge to the Church to meet the cemands of this age is a call to the individual citizen who answers to the name Christian. It fe doubtful if the Church in all its history has ever had such an influential body of laymen directing its missionary campaign work. Cri- tics can talk as they like about the failure of the Church in this and in that, but the fact remains that the Church is the greatest influence for good in the world. Eliminate it and see what will happen. It created the triumphent victory after four years of war. It has been called an in- articulate deal, but whatever it was it was born in the minds of the de- fenders of Hberty though the agency of the Christtan Church. The Church may need a revival but this can only be secured by a revival in the homes, in the family Mfe. The now age is sald to have presented a challenge to the Church to meet the new conditions, but the challenge Is in reality to the individual member- ship of all sects. The greatest thing to be feared is for the religious condl- has been a lamentable decline of re- iigtons teaching in the home during the past two decades. The chilh dren of no chursh vody existing to- day know the Pible as they shoud know it. The past and the passing generations of dedply reHgious peo- ple received Lheir Christian teaching in the home---not in the churches or the Sunday schools. The present challenge to the Church can well be met, but what of the future ? Nath- ing can take the place of the home for giving reHgious teaching. What will the present generation of youth contribute to the Church of the fu- ture ? a He Needed It. "tse AS She envy the man who sang the 8010, "Why I thought he had a very poor voloe.
