The home missions, he said, wore the challenge of the needy neighbor, and the conditions in the home land to-day are a' challenge to the Christ- ian church. Many are making a big fight owing to depleted membership. Often many members leave the small- er churchs and become active work- ers in city churches and' these churches owe the weaker ones their practical support and sympathy. Churches become weakened by changes due to unsettled conditions in communities. Then we have the churches in new fields such as Norn Ontario and the west which call for our constant support. We arg faced with Lhe question "Shall the generation. following as be Christian?" This question is only going to be anawered in the Sunday school. i (Copttnied On Page ) THE LONDON CLUBS ARE IN A QUANDARY Government Rules Poker is a Game of Chance and Po- lice Make Raid. London, June 15.--London club- land has been thrown into a quand- ary over the question of poker. Though not so popular as bridge, poker has many players and 'some adepts in the British metropolis, and several clubs have devoted one room for its votaries. Now it seems the chief commissioner of police bas been instructed that poker is gamo- ling within the meaning of the act regulating games of chance, betting and so forth, and that it is illegal for it to be played in any public place Public rooms of the clubs into which any member can go are comstruci as a "public place" and police have made a series of raids which created consternation among club commit- tees. Several committees hurriedly summoned had decided to prohibit roker on club premises, but othors are thinking of challenging the decis- icn of the authorities on the ground that poker is a game of skill, just as inuch has auction bridge is. One pok: er player, whose favorite club decid- ed to prohibit the game, was to-day heard exclaiming: "What is this dashed government going to do next? Haven't thay enough difficulties on their hands with the coal crisis,. the Silesian question, the Mesopotamia waste? * The angry clubman added lengthily to this list, "Without raising the question whether poker is a~game cf chance or a test of skill?"
