A detachment of the Church Army Crusaders of the Church of England under the command of Captain ii | Casey, visited Kingstog on Saturday il| and Sunday and aroused consider- || able interest among the general pub- |} lic and particularly among the peo- I of the Church of England. The Crusaders, of whom eleven =! were men and seven were women, held several open-air eprvices during their stay here and also representa- tives of the Army occupied the pul- pits in all the Anglican churches of the city at both services on Sunday. The largest number of people were reached at the mass meeting held at Macdonald Park on Sunday evening. There were well over a thousand Present and the great majority join- ed in' the singing of the hymns and the other phases of the service. Cap tain Casey took charge of the ser- vice and the Crusaders were support- ed by the Anglican vlergy of the city. | © This is the first oecasion on which a detachment of the Church Army has ever visited this city and it is the second time that the organization has sent representatives' to Canada. Last summer a party visited the Maritimes and this year it was decided to extend the tour into On- tario; they will go as far as the Ni- agara peninsula. The object of the tour is to demonstrate to the Cana- dian people the work of this Old Land organization in the hope that the work may be taken up here. The Church Army of the English Church was the idea of Prebendary W. Carlisle while he was a citrate in London. It was founded in 1882 and of course like every new movément met with a certain amount of oppo- sigon. It finally overcame the ob- stacles however and is to-day. the largest missionary society of the Churce® of England Pred. Carlisle, D.D.C.H.. althoug eighty years of age visited Canada this summer in conneétion with the visit of the Army and has just re- turned to England. The cost of the present Crusade fis approximately $12,000. Part of this money is rais- ed by special offerings, Some idea of the work thé Church Army doés in England may be gain- ed from the facts that it has placed about 10,000 people in work; pro- vides hostels tor the disabled; visits the prisons; has homes for orphan. ed children and for consumptive 'children; takes people to see the war Sraves; spends $2,000,000 annually In religious and charitable work; has 1,000 full-time has 55 branches. : The organization under the the Chureh of Bagland 'jclergy and 1s supported by royalty and members of the Government. A great part of the work is what is termed in thig country social work. They have rescue homes and mis sions and also parties travel through rural England in vans holding meet- ings at various places.

Oh, do sing, and I'n warn them groomed, far-coated, soft-voiced. Restless both of them. Conversa- tion revealed that they wére mar- ried, with one or two children each, had nice homes, et al. Redtless. "I never got over fegling that if I'd only dons something with my art training." this from one. "I bate housework. I want to do something," this from another. Just a tiny sample from the rest- lessness of married women met with every day. "What gets me about this whole marriage platform," said a friend not long ago, "is the plain. dumbbell drudge it makes of the most edu~ cated, intelligent women." : To-day's brides, suddenly finding themselves transformed into dish- washers and ¢ooks grow alarmed. There's. a néw book on the market called "The House." It is the story of Doris Gilbert, a woman of eapacity who, becoming Doris Sprague, finds that & house goes with a husband and that she is not only a wife but a charwoman. More interesting than the book ft. self is a review which I found upon it by Isabel Patterson. "Here is the most ancient griev- ance of women," she writes. "A grievance that few men would un« derstand. This tragedy does not happen to men as it doas to women. Men marry and adff to their lives. A Woman marries and takes from her life. "Just another husband who cared more for masculine ¢onceit than Jus- tice to his wife. She figured it out. She would go back to work. Free herself, pay for that household drudgery and other things. "But he would not hear of 'my wife work- ing.' , "He couldn't for the life of him see why, when home was so quiet and comfortable. Doris wanted to get away from it. Why indeed? Why do the girls of to-day marry later and fewer? Why do they reserve the right to work outside the home, handle their own money, and think their own thoughts? This plot seldom gets into fiction. Only one or two male authors have admitted it as valid. But masculine writers know very well that their mothers and their generation of women were no such contented matarial drudges as tradi- tion makes them. "These women counseled their own daughters, prompted them, warned them, against matrimony. What was the use of going on for- ever, generation after generation of being worn out at the wash- tub and dishpan, with no hope of anything finer, ever? Bettér not marry at all than bring girl babies fato such a world. * "Defeated overworked mothers of the generation ago are finding their first joy through the vicarious thrill of their free unmartied daughters' successes." \ That's that, and a whale of a 13t in it! Marriage must change or no- body will go into it but gold-diggers who will toil not neither will they spin, or unintelligents who couldn't make a living for themselves outside the walls of matrimony. But--I believe that both the auth- or and the reviewer forget that while a wife and mother is a drudge, Just as is the working father toiling for their keep, she is not denied using all of her mind and spirit, too, if her home, and upon her husband and children, ' "A drudge," yés--but not "just a ? that you're rather out of practice.

"How to keep the baby well is a problem that is particularly press- ing during the hot Summer months. To keep a baby well is much easier than it is to cure him when he be comes sick. When you are not feeling up to the mark you not only know the re- gion in which the pain is located but often you are reasonably certain of the.cause "of the trouble. You can make your symptoms and wants known to' those about you. Not so, however, with baby. It is not such-an easy task to cure that helpless, inarticulate, suffering, bit of humanity. Bvery mother should therefore, take precautions against exposing her baby to disease and should take the time to familiarize herself thoroughly with symploms and simple preventive measures. In a room crowded with strangers there is always likely to be some- one who is suffering from a con- tagious disease or who "may have come from a home where such 2 disease is present.
