There must be less long-faced piety and more practi- cal christianity; there must be earn- est condemnation of the trust-maker and stock-jobber and more qonsiderm. It has been charged that Socialism' is antagonistic to law and order, and should not be encouraged. We may say the same of misery and want. which breed Socialism. It would seem that as the plans of trusts, com- bines, stock manipulators and other money grabbers succeed and multiply. the wealth of nations is becoming centred in fewer hands from year to year, the result being that the rich are becoming more powerful and arro- gant, the poor, poorer and more hope- less. In the past, hopeful men have accomplished wonderful things for the betterment of the human raceâ€"who} shall limit the possibilities of the‘ “Taking it all in all, including crop prospects as well as market outlook, it is safe to say that the agricultural situation in all Canada was never more promising than it is at the present time.” hopeless? To the thoughtful mind there is food for deep reflection in the question, “How do the churches stand with re- gard to Socialism?” So far there has been a dodging of issues, an ignoring of facts, but this cannot long con- tinue. The growth of Socialism may not be rapid, but it is constant, and the trend of society itself seems cal- culated to foster the conditions neces- sary to the development of Socialistic tenets. “In Ontario prospects are equally en- couraging. A vast amount of hay has already been put in the barns in ex- cellent condition; with another week of fine weather the Province will have the best lot of feed of this kind in store in its history. Grain crops are coming on well, and corn is making magnificent growth. The weak points are in dairying and hogs; it now and butter may actually be less than last year, and it is quite certain that the hog output will be very light. Cost of production in both these lines pro- mises, however, to be much less than in 1907. In fruit a good crop is promised. and. trees, speaking gener- ally, never looked healthier. ”It is estimated that the Western Provinces have five and a half mil- lion acres in wheat this year, upwards of half a million more than in 1907. With an average of twenty bushels to the acre, this acreage will ensure a crap of over 100,000,000 bushels. Pre- sent prospects, however, point to rather better than this yield, and it is not improbable that the Western wheat crop of 1908 will be little, if any, short of 120,000,000 bushels.

Be- cause these things have come grad- ually and are now accepted as good they are not noticeable. Men who will cast their thoughts back will be able to recall many things that sounded strange and extreme and are 'now considered moderate and safe. No doubt we should modify many things in the future and our progress will be upon safe lines if our Churches will exert the rightful influence they possess in the direction of guidance. The sympathetic consideration of the Churches in all the social problems of the time is much to be desired. their firm receiving a consignment (if Canadian cheese which had been ship- ped too green. In consequence, the shipment had spoiled in transportation: and was refused. It is noticeable that the cheese market has been gradually ‘rising during the season of 1908, and the factories have been selling close‘to'the hoops. In conversation the other day with the member of a firm of produce merchants in the old land, he told of Churches true to their own high ideals know that for any and all the problems of modern life Christianity has answers. It rests with those who are leaders and guides in the Churches to find those answers. No Church true to her mission can ig- nore modern conditions. While these have complicated our problems enough to make some men h0peless and others prepared to assert that nothing but extreme measures can prove effective, Churchmen must hold that the cure, if it is to be found at all, must be in changes that can be endorsed by the Church. We are ever pressing forward to ~improvement, and those whose minds are open will find that many things which were formerly included amongst those that were unspeakable are in reality such as changing circumstances ren- der necessary. 11 Church leaders and Church peo- ple generally will show a sympathe- tic spirit of inquiry into the sub- jects which touch the daily lives 0! the masses they will find a readiness to accept guidance and direction. It is because at times the Church and Church people have shown a do-no- thing spirit that the masses have been led to find out paths for them~ selves. ' We must all .admit that we have not yet attained the time when condi- tions are incapable of improvement. As long as that is the case any Church, true to its mission and its ideals, must sympathize with efforts at improvmnent. That does not mean, of course, that it sanctions levery word or notion of those on- gngeii in such endeavors. There are people connected with every move- ment who by exctsss of ze-nl or indis- croet actions do the cause in which thvy urn cull-mi for more harm than good. it is tlw extremitios urgvd umi notions done, in its name which how cum-ml umuy hoopla to have a prejudice ruminant Socialism. There ware thono who warn surprised at the sympathetic tonu not only 0! Church workers but also 0! Church dignitaries on Socialiutic subjects. As a matter of fact this is the most hopeful View of the situation. a bill in the British House of Com- mons widening the powers of local authorities, once declared: “We are all Socialists now.” And in a sense that is true. This is particularly the case with regard to the Churches. There, if anywhere, men should be valued for what they are, and not for what htey have. There, high ideals should be held up and encour- agement given to all reasonable ef- forts for the bettering of humanity. Of all the subjects discussed and services held the one on Socialism appears to have given rise to the widest comment. In one sense this is curious because from certain points of view the Church itself is a Socialistic organization. It all depends, of course, upon the meaning which is given to the word. The late Sir W. V. Harcourt, when proposing iasm into the fighters. True, it has been said that the mass of the English Church clergymen in the old land re- ceive miserable pittances, and that this explains their discontent. What- ever the reason, the fact that so many of the clergymen of one church have spoken out will undobutedly streng- then the ranks of the Socialist party. In erfrecent issue The Woodstock Sentinel-Review printed the following thoughtful article on thls subject: It ‘would seem that at least one church is manifesting a deep interest in the outcome of the Socialist move- ment now to the fore in many coun- tries, including Canada. We alludg to the Church of England.

A Chicago 'w‘oman attorney has just received a fee o'f $30,000, but 'th'at is no reason why women should become disgusitec‘i ‘w‘ith housework. It is claimed by the Kansas City Star that some of the women out there are wearing shredded wheat on their hats. Even the usual ocean voyage is dull enough without something to read, and such trips bring with them'a multitude ’of recreations. But in the north noth- ing happens. The same frozen sur- face meets the eye always. There are no passing ships to gossip about and to bail; nothifig but: the- stillness of the Arctic. Without reading matter the pole-hunter risks madness. It seems like a negligible point in equipping such an expedition, but the failure to supply books shows that the pinch of poverty has been felt keenly. When the Roosevelt reaches her winter quarters and settles in the ice for six months of darkness, the absence of printed matter will be ser- ious. The best tempered man might shrink from spending half a year in silent desolation, with no companions but the few fellow-voyagers, whose every thought he knows before it is uttered, and with no reading to dis- tract attention from the trivial annoy- ances that are sure to creep into their confined intercourse. Peary wanted $50,000 to provide for the voyage, and managed to raise something more than $40,000. The shortage will not imperil the result of his venture, for he has supplies en- ough to carry him through; but it will sadly lessen the comforts of the crew he takes with him. At the last mo- ment, one of the men stepped into a newspaper office in New York and told the reporters that there was no read- ing matter on board the steamer. Commander Peary has overcome en- ough of his financial difficulties to make a start on his dash for the pole. The Roosevelt, rather inadequately furnished, will be on her way to her first stopping place, Sydney, Cape Breton, in a day or so. . We need not ask a better justifica- {tion of the Catholic attitude regard- iing education than this incident and jthe comments it evoked from those ivitally interested. The principal of ‘the school to which the boys who pelted the wedding party belonged declared that his boys behave as well las most boys, but he had not a high opinion of the reverence of the aver- age boy for such things as weddings. Weddings, even amongst pagans, were regarded as sacred. And there must be something radically defective in _the home and school training of the boys who regard a wedding as an op- 1portunity for horse-play. We ask what regard for the rights of others, what respect for woman, must have been implanted in the breasts of those boys who made the bride the special target of their missiles? "Boys will be boys." but why should boys be hinokgunrds? Evidently the homes and schools from which such boys grmhmte are not going to supply it good type oi citizenship. ii the awr- um- boy is inciting in reverence we want u systmn of teaching which is "his to inspire that most important feature at cimmctcr. i A distinguished Russian gentleman, ith a, ldng and unpronounceable As a wedding party were leaving an East End church in Toronto, says The Catholic Register, a number ci boys, who had just taken their de- parture from a public school hard by. made the bridal couple a target. The bride’s finery proved a specially 8t- tractive mark, and was repeatedly hit by sods of earth, flung with force enough to do considerable damage. The matter being brought to the at- tention of the 'principal of the school, he philosophically remarked that he had not a high opinion of the rever- ence in the mind of the average boy for such events as weddings. The mother of the bride showed a good nature, much to her credit. “Yes,” she said, “the boys did fire a few things, but boys will be boys. We didn’t mind it much, and we are mak- ing no complaint. Boys are hard to control on such occasions, and they didn’t do much damage anyway.” wait, and when this wait might result in a profit of 10 or 15 per cent. to the producers, surely .the time is not lost And this gain is not all; there is the further advantage of our cheese reaching the British market in a first- class condition, and thus increasing the demand and maintaining the re- putation.
