Rev. A M.

Another suggestion from the assembly in the form. of & question inquired if the Dominion Government would supply military tents, through the Department of Defence, in the event of emergency.

'." The world is full of short cuts to heaven. . Almost any day you can find the disciples of some unusual faith doing missionary work in our communities. One cannot help but admit the sin: cerity and sacrifice of >many of these travelling représentatives. Only a few months ago the writer met a frail lady of sixty-five who wis spending the bulk of her money to fit up a specially de- signed auto, in order that she might go out and distribute and sell the literature of her special faith. : There is no need to name these faiths, Every housewife and business man knows them. Their danger lies in the disturbing power they exercise over the local churches. These churches have patiently and consistently served their local communities for all the past years. There has. been little or nothing that is spec- tacular about that service. But it has been persistent and suit- able to the needs of the community. ; : : That the service has been perfect or that the teachings have always been true and divinely inspired is not to be expected. the church belongs to the community, and every person who has a helpful message for humanity has the right to take it to the church and teach it in so far as is consistent to true service to humanity. it ni > : Proclaiming a faith, while 'neglecting the simple duties of church membership is causing great and disturbing harm to church life. : Splendid 'people have left the church to its own devices, when patient, continuous services by them_in that church would have done much to renew the spiritual life of the people. ' The church is and should be the channel through which flows the message of God to men. Every deseeter of the church rend- ers that institution more susceptible to commercialism and for- malism. Only loyalty and fearlessness can save the church from grave danger, : : AEN < Some day it is: going to be discovered that electricity and life are closely connected. Here is a quotation ffom a research report by Dr. Crile: ; : : , : "From each of the cells of the body. Crile discovered an acid nucleus and an alkaline plasma constituting a miniature electric battery. The electric power of each battery provides "a certain quantity of vitality. When a person is under an an anaesthetic of ether, or simply asleep, this power is low- ered, when he gets up it returns to full strength. "The investigator discovered also that the said cells by discHéirging their electric energy into the nerves, which form transmitting lines, provide the leading force .of life. When lowered to zero they cease distributing this energy and the individual dies." : : "ALFALFA SILAGE Last week at the Webster farm west of Prospect, a silage de- of G. L. Rosenquist, of Finland. > The demonstration was to show_the use of mineral acid treat- ment in the preservation of alfalfa silage. This treatment is un- necessary for the preservation of corn, as' that plant contains sufficient-sugar -to set up the fermentation which produces the preserving acid: 1. To be thoroughly successful in making alfalfa silage ac- cording to the new process, the crop should be cut young--before budding." Then it is not necessary to put it through the cutting box. By this method there may be reaped two or three crops in a.season, giving more tonage per acre, cheaper production of milk, and greater control of weeds. This silage gives June feeding the year round. The food value is kept at its best, and the vitamin content is much greater than can be secured by dry feeding, y The operator of this demonstration advocates the use of pit silos. He says that they only cost about one third as much to con- struct as the silos ordinarily built in this part of the country; and the application of the special acid spray could be made by gravity, doing away with the need for a force pump. Lo The method now being introduced into Ontario has been in use in Finland for some years. The climate there is quite as rigorous as our own, and this silage has been' well preserved, and has been most profitable to the Finlander. i ¢ " | ARE the "COMICS" FUNNY? It just depends upon your point of view as to whether you consider the "comics" funny. Years ago Stephen Leacock de- geribed the original sense of humor. He pictured two savages standing by a hole in the ice laughing uproarously. -When ques- tioned as to the causec.of their mirth one of them said "A gentle man was passing this way and fell through there. We haven't seén him since--Ha! Ha;" "Many of our comic strips seem to be |reverting to type. - Murder, bestiality and vulgarity are the spices used to excite our jaded taste for fun, . True, we have Jimmy Frise with "Birdseye Centre", "Henry", "Tillie the Toiler", Moon Mullins", "Out Our Way", "Our Board- ing House". But this group is overwhelmed by a mass of stuff that is exceedingly poor mental and moral food for children and The public demand for sensation has spoiled our sense of fun. = The cartoon of the society' man buying a paper was typical of a growing attitude. He says "Gimme a paper boy". Boy--'"What paper?' Oh one of them pitcher papers, TI haven't read one of them readin' papers for three years." Looks like poor stuff to be the constant mental food for an in- telligent democracy. : i GENEVA DIRECTIONS : There have been some very practical suggestions made by Presi- dent Blum of France as to the operation of the League of Nations. Back of these suggestions is the desire for permanent peace. The new ideas put forward are first, that the nations shall be grouped for mutual protection against aggression; second that military action may be taken by these groups to prevent war without the unanimous agreement of all the members of the League of Nations. It is not likely that these radicali changes will be ac- cepted by Germany or Italy, as both of these countries have pro- giams of extension which they claim are essential to their national well-being. = War is prominent in the programs if deemed neces- sary, and no promise is made that war shall not be aggressive.
