It can be heard on the lips of all who wddress the multitude. It is strewn across the pages of our magazines. . It commands the close sttention of the writers of our more serious literature. â€" A large portion of the best imaginaâ€" tive literature of recent years has been inspired by the dream of Brotherhood. In their various ways H. G. Wells, John Drink: water, John Galsworthy and even the iconoclastic Geroge Bernard Shaw are ever making a plea for it. Brotherhood is the keyword for all who desire to promote our Social Wellâ€"being. It is the ome thing which all the world‘s aâ€"secking. _ But the word and the conception can only become realities when the New Testament solvents are emphasised. The New Testament writers once saw Brotherhood realised before their in the earfy Christian community, and the bitter antagonisms had sundered men one from the other resoived and done with by a common acknowledgment of the Lordship of â€"_ 1. M fruitful cause of much unbrotherliness is race prejudice, If there is one thing incontrovertibly certain it is that Christianity has wiped out all national distinetions. Christianity stands for superâ€"nationalisim. "God has made of one blood all nations of nen to dwell on the earth." Christianity is a cosmopolitan reâ€" ;; It puts in the forefront the Brotherhood of Man. The ‘Telephone 200 declare "All ye are brethren." Christian commopolitanism does not shut out Patrictism.

Most skids under this conâ€" dition, he declared, were the result of sudden brake application or tooâ€" rapid mma on eurves, and could be en! t?' the use of second or t gear for deceleration and , control; sparing and gentle use of the brakes with the car still in gear; slow and careful taking of turns, and the use of good tires with plenty of tread. In some cases he recommended driving with two wheels on the shoulder of the road, but emg:uiled that as a general rule ~â€"when conditions became : so hazardous as to require this precauâ€" toin, no motorist should venture out in his car except under cireumâ€" stances of the most extreme urgency. k To meet the hazard of driving in fog or mist, Mr. . McTavish suggestâ€" ed cautious driving "within the range of the headlights", pulling well off the road before stopping to clean the windshield, and the use of fog lamps. "Probably the least known and| most valuable ‘trick‘ of safe driv-l ing", concluded Mr; McTavish, "is how to take a curve. Most people| apply the brakes when going into a‘ turn. This is wrong.
