Every home has searched its clothes closets . 'to see if there is yet another garment thai can be spared. Most of us have given away everything but our necessities. Every day or two somebody wants a meal, and humanity demands that the meal be given. "How long can this state of things last? - ", So far the behaviour of these homeless men has been good. We hear nothing of abuse. They are "more patient than most of us would be under similar - conditions (except that poverty makes us all 'gentle') but there is a latent menace in.it all that might break into open danger at any time.

Mr. Harry Hoffman, of Dashwood, sang a solo, "Repent Ye," by John Pindle Scott, in excellent voice, - Mr. Hoffman's singing is. always appreciated by the Janies Street congregation. The sub- ject of Mr, Stainton's address was "Christianity and : Amusements" or "What: Shall -we do with our Leisure] Time." 'He took his téxt from' Eph- esians 516-16, "See that ye walk up- deeming. the: time. becuse. the days aretevil." The speaker said that the gerious problem. In cities and the larger centres provision was made by Y. M. C.

If we con- movies then what have we provided in. their: place to entertain or pro- about the. streets but what 'do we 'do . to provide entertainment for Is there a Y. M: C.-A.? supervision?

Perhaps it is better to" go to -the dance halls than "to go in an auto into the dark night miles away. What is the town cofincil or our school board doing to provide for the leisure hours? If some great problem comes ized that it might have been better, even in hard times, to provide a place for organized play rather than to pay the fiddler, After all how much would you give in exchange for your boy or girl. The speaker stated that we cannot use the Scriptures to con- demn these amusements. He does not find fault with any who practice pro- hibition in all these amusements 'in fact he admires them. As a child he had been taught to play euchre and he used to enjoy a game of lost heir. For two years he was a member of a bridge club. Since coming to Exeter he had never been invited to a bridge party. What's wrong when you don't invite the preacher? What is wrong for Peter is wrong for Paul. What is right or wrong for the people is right or wrong for the minister, No temptation had come to him through cards. He understands, however, that If a man cannot -sit down and enjoy a game of cards without cheating, or getting mad there is something very much wrong. The way we play bridge to- day is nerve racking. - The chief thing the speaker has against cards is that especially when over indulged in they become waste of time and energy.

WORLD'S CHAM PIONSHIP COW. A unique tribute was paid recently to Mr. B. H. Bull and Son, of Bramp- ton, owners of "Basilua," the wonder- ful cow which won the world's cham- pionship in a production contest ex- tending over whole year, when leading agricultural officials gathered to pay honor to the cow and its owners at a banquet arranged by the Peel District Jersey Breeders'. Association. Un- stinted praise was offered by Hon. Mr. Weir and Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Fed- eral and Provincial Ministers of Agriculture, and Dr.. G. I. Christie, head of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, and by many -leading owners of dairy herds. This remarkable cow, which is five years old and weighs 950 pounds, produced 19,012 pounds of milk and 1312.8 pounds of butterfat in 365 days. Such an achievement is of widespread interest and testifies to the wisdom in selection and care in feeding and testing on the part of its owners. -- A CALL TO INDEPENDENT FARM PEOPLE On Thursday, December 14th, during the week of their annual convention, The United Farmers of Ontario will throw their doors open to all farm people of the Province who are desirous of framing and supporting a vigor- ous independent, agricultural programme. desighed to assume immediate relief and bring about permanent recovery.
