The matter was evidently brought up because of the fact that, while the probationers are required to take a pledge not to use the frag- rant weed, many of the professors under whom they study, and many of the leading pastors, are themselves inveterate smokers, At any rate, there is a great division of opinion as to whether it is a wise thing >r not to spend time on debating such a | question in the conference, and it | was only after a consideration of the matter in committee that it was | decided to pass it on to a full session {of the delegates. | Whatever may be the merits or de. | merits of the subject from the view- | point of the ecclesiastics of the church, It is certain that such a dis- | cussion is not likely to increase thse laverage man's estimation of the | church. It may be a sad reflection of the church of the present day to | say that most men regard it as too i | strict and narrow in its views, but it fs nevertheless quite correct. This resolution, and the discussion which | centred around it, will serve only to | intensity that feeling, for the plain, ordinary man is rather tired of hav- ing the law laid down to him on mat- of personal conduct which should be matters for individual de- cision, and although the resolution the present conference relates only to men within the leadership of the church, it will seem to him like the thin end of the wedge which is being driven in to deprive him of the | policy should be. use of his own judgment in matters of this kind. It does seem a rather arbitrary ac- tion on the part of any body of men | to make an effort to curtail the | {rights of others in a matter of this | kind. Surely it cannot be said that; the fact that a man enjoys the luxury | {of a pipe In his study of an evening | is detrimental to his efficiency as al minister of the gospel. t so many of | urch in Scot-| smokers, often pre- | the stalwarts of the ch land were inveterate congregational admirers? preaching and ministry of these men | did not lose anything of ts power be- | cause of the fact that they were smokers, and it is not likely that | smoking would in any way lessen the | | effectiveness of the ministers of th | present day. As a matter of fact, the average man would prefer a min- ister who did smoke. The large ma- | jority of men are themselves smok- | 4. |ers, and they like to feel that they {can find companionship over a plpe | with the men who are their pastors. ments. Now the British government members who oppose the raising of the embargo ask if Canada would ba | satisfied if the question of disease | were entirely eliminated, and the | embargo based on other considera- | | tions, | It is quite safe to say that tha | | Canadian people, and the farmers | { most of all, would not be willing to | consider such a settlement of this | highly controversial matter. In miak- | ing such an offer, the British gov- [ernment owns up to the fact that the | embargo has been enforced, not be- | cause of disease amongst Canadian cattle, but as a means of giving pro- | tection to the home breeders. Can- | ada, however, wants more than an | admission on the part of Great Brit- | ain that the cattle from this country lare free from disease. The farmers of | Canada. need, and must have, a | market for their store cattle, and [their great hope was that the remov- {al of the embargo would enables | them to enter the British market on fair terms. They are not blind, how- ever, to the fact that their strongest weapon of protest was the claim that {the embargo was maintained, offic- | fally, on account of alleged disease | amongst thelr cattle, and they will | not easily give up this weapon while their fight for an entry into British marekts is still unfinished. Should Great Britain choose to maintain the embargo, not on the | grounds of disease, but as a means | | of protecting her own live stock in- dustry, those who are fighting to have it removed will have lost their great fighting point. They cannot very well attempt to dictate to the | British government what its fiscal Canada herself would not for a moment submit to dictation from Britain on that ques- tion of policy, and yet Great Britain has more cause to object to the pro- tection in force in Canada than this country has to complain of the Brit- ish protective tariffs. 80, while Brit- ain may be willing to admit that there is no justification for the charge that Canadian cattle are dis- | If that were | eased, she is not likely, under pres- | (1921), ent day economic conditions, and in the present state of her agricultural and | and live stock industry, to take off the embargo altogether, and {it looks farmers will have to | Ths | be satisfled with their present status | in the British meat markets, aad seek elsewhere to find new outlets for their surplus of live stock. ---------------- | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR | BY SAM HILL ° } New Version, "What is your fortune, my pretty maid?'

The beauty of even a most perfect stone is lost if set clumsily, too deep or too crowded. A stone whose setting does not detract from its loveliness, but makes it stand out, is unmistakable. 7 There is a certain fineness about everything im life and no matter how small the thing may be if its setting is good it shows off. Classified ads carry undreamed of possibilities. They are fine and worth while. In order to make them show off they should be well set, they should not be crowded. They should be complete as to detail, and they should be arranged in a bit of white space that will make them stand out and attract the attention that is their due. Next time you insert a classified, talk over the setting advan- tages with one of our people. . Don't take his word for it either, try it out for yourself.
