"Live and let live" must be our motto and there's no time like the present when thousands are returning from the theatre of war; and at a time when the men will need every encouragement. Some of the good ladies who have so much time to spare might help to welcome the new-brides and future mothers of Canadians. Many of these are noble girls who have worn steel helmets as W.A.A.C's in France and whose homes have helped brighten the lonely hours of a soldier's life, and helped to keep, him from sin in a strange land. If these women are well received in Canada, they will prove splendid citi- zens. - ! The spirit of Bolshevism may be found even in the churches This is too bad, just when there is a forward movement in church work. It's time the churches stopped bickering over infinitesimal things, and con- sidered how to reach the seething masses outside the church doors. I wonder some church members do not get a gramaphone for a preacher, and then their own wills would be done in earnest. We want Canada to become the best land religiously, then let mas- . ter and man form a eommon bond of interest and seek to help one another, and the curse of Bolshevism that has despoiled Russia will be unknown here.
