It suggests that we are not only to meet tremendous defence commitments, but to add to them social commitments, but to add to them social obligations that would be staggering in norâ€" mal times; and all this without any effect on the cost of living.

During the course of conferring, Mr. Abbott announced that such a measure will cost Canada, in addiâ€" tional taxes, no less than $250,000,000 anâ€" nually.

Christian Science "If God spared not His only Son, shall He not by Him freely give us all things ?" f _ The speaker, Mr. S. E. Clark, spoke of the symbolism of the Old Testament in foreshadowing the spirit and happenings of the New Testament. He saw in Solomon a type of our Lord in his wisdom, wealth and resources; the Queen, travelling over the world looking for wisdom, found it in the King. In Christ is found all wisdom, that highest wisdom which is the Fear of God; and in Christ is found Salâ€" vation for the soul seeking Him. Eimlea Baptist ' The attendance at church service on Sunday was not quite as good as usually, but nevertheless, a good time was experienced.

Weston Presbyterian Christian traditions and British traditions have been one of the great factors throughout the Englishâ€"speaking world. The great traâ€" ditional foundations upon which our civilization ‘has been built should be carefully guarded and those points that have been tested and proven should be further developed. One of the great factors in life today that is being neglected is the old common courtesy that has been a definite teaching in Christianity and has been bred in the British ideals. Oldâ€"timers will recall the day when it was the proper thing to ait and listen with due reverence to his elders. There was never any thought of insolence or discourteous remarks by the younger generâ€" ation. Those factors in the standards of bringing up the younger generâ€" ations certainly created good citizenship. Today there has grown up a tendency among the younger people of almost disrespect for theirelders. They are looked upon as fogies and antiquated beings, as h-& outâ€" spoken autocrats. Years of experience and study of the situation have led the older people to acquire a stability and a respect that should be emphasized more and more. It is high time that more consideration be given to the development of the true Christian spirit to respect as taught in the early days. In all our school activities there should be an effort made to inculcate into the minds of children that courtesy is essential to good living. As return to this would bring about a better understanding and relationship between all individuals. There is only one way that this can be carried into effectâ€"that is by parents setting the example, showing every courtesy to their children and thus creating an environment in the home that is filled with courtesy, one to another. This should also be carried out in the school and everyâ€"day life.
