"i it all seems very' childish,“ does- n‘t it? Why should a 'grown woman sulk unless she can have the name at winning? For the name is all she cares about. Yet the world is full of people more like her than am realize. All across Canada l'HllllUBSS people are preparing ex- hibits tor the fairs. Among them we fear there will be a few poor spurts who w 111 sulk if they do not win first prize, and who will criti- ('ize the judges instead of searching out the faults and flaws in their ex-u hihits. There was a Canadian boy this summer who had the right idea. He refused to accept a prize which he felt another boy had won. '1‘” him mere possession of a prize was an empty mockery if he could not feel that. he had actually come first.

OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS There is a certain woman in' a small Canadian town who cannot understand why folks don’t like her hmtc‘l'. and who is much hurt be- cause so often now She is left out who-n there is a small and jolly. party for cards. If some candid h-mm were to enlighten her, may- lw she might yet learn to play the? game and be a sport. As it is she is the. "sort Of player Who always rm-ls that the rules of the game should be forgotten when she makes 3 >1”). “Oh, I didn’t mean to do that." she exclaims when she makus a poor play in any game. and 5h“ makes it plain that she does not vxliect her mistakes to be counted against her. As this is nothing null'l‘ more 1101‘ 1853 than cheating she has long since worn out her \Velmme and moreover she has rim-m- learned to play anything _well. Decaying Evangelism I High-power evangelism. the sort with which the name of ltev. Billy Sunday is associated. is on the. wane in the limited States. Evidence is t'm-tticnniing that. the l’rntestant Churches. after long consideration and statistical investigation. have deciclt‘ul that the results are. not commensurate with the effort. 'l‘heret‘nre they are more and more disinclinml to underwrite these campaigns. and it, has 1100” a prin- ciple with the. evangelists that. they will not. conduct. a crusade unless an the invitation of the clergymen in the city to be invaded. This cool- in;' out explains why the \\'iuuna Lake Association. which numbered 5m twelve years ago and included all the highâ€"pnwer men. each nt‘ whom was egwctcd to cnnduct. five campaigns a year. has new shrunk In half its size. At. the annual meet- ing held recently President. titaarles Reign Scoville admitted that it. was bect’vming‘ increasingly ditt’icult. for his colleagues to reach the big cities. and he blamed the 'caliarets. the night life. the lJOt')ilt"f.':ԤIt‘l'S and general lawlessness. He denied. that the evangelists were them-‘ selves to blame. and quoted statis- tics showing that thousands of people had been converted where revivals had heen held. and this in- cluded the impressive total of 69,000 which Sunday himself claimed as a result of his campaign in New York titty. He arrived at, the figures by counting all who "hit. the sawdust trail". raise-(ltl'leir hands or per- formed some other specific act which could be construed as ex- pressing a desire to lead a better life. Thursday, September 15, 1927 The Real Sport Always Wins But church investigators are in- ('linml to V’it‘W such statistics with a fishy eye. \Vlmtconcprns them is not thv number of penple moved mnutinnally for a moment. as the result of thp impassioned plea of a {H‘flft‘SSiOIl‘ill evangplist. How ,___- many of them are really converted? How many . join churches, and. above all, how many remain church members at the end of a year? The answer is that the net church membership is increased less t n one per .cent. as the result of evangelistic campaigns. But if it were Increased but by a single member. there are those who think the efi’ort not in vain but for the gimportant fact that these campaigns *cost money. The thousands or tens of thousands that these expert evangelists take out of a town re-. present money that .the churches would be able to expend on other worthy causes. Rev. Sunday col- lects about $150,000 for a campaign and he takes it out of people who, for the most part. are connected with churches and philanthrOpic organizations. not from the newly converted sinner, who need only contribute his. loudly expressed determination to flee. from the wrath to come. There is also to be taken account of the fact that many Sincerely religious people are shocked by the methods employed by Billy Sunday and his kind. He is lacking in both taste and dignity, and many feel that religion is act- ually degraded by such perform- ances as he gives. It is the misfor- tune of these evangelists that..-.how- ever sincere they are. they are unâ€" able to convince everybody of their devotion. and the ungodly point to L the. factâ€"if indeed it is a fa’ctâ€" that Rev. Sunday .is a millionaire. and f that early in the present century even Rev. Sam Jones. who will be "remembered in Toronto. and who. " with Rev. Sam Small was the - founder ol‘ the modern school of ' rough-house evangelism. confessed I to an income of 330.000 a year. So ' this highly m-ganized industry is on ' the wane. while the new Visitation f Evangelism seems destined to take ‘ its place in the religious world.â€" 'l'ornnto Mail and Empire.

The Chron- icle editor and wife. called to this progressive village on business that evening, were interested particip- ants in the tournament when the cakes were passed around and en- joyed a most pleasant hour with the green revellers in lending valu- able assistance to the consuming of the many tasty things passed around.

FOrLy-seven years ago she was married to Mr. J. P. Hunter. who. with a family of four daugh- ters and one son survive. The family are Mrs. Charles McKinnon (Jess1e), of Bassano, Alberta, who has already left for Durham; Mrs. (Dr.) W. C. Pickering (Mary) of 'Durham; Mrs. Gordon MacDonald (Grace) of Chatsworth; Miss Effie. at home and Mr. William S. Hunter also residing here. The late Mrs. Hunter was a wo- man held in the very highest esteem. In health she was an active worker in church and social circles, and er only regret was that her condi- tion the past several months was such that she could not engage as actively as she would have desired in the work of the Presbyterian church here, of which she was a devoted memher._ _ The funeral which. owing to ser- ious illness in the family. will be held privately, will take place Saturday afternoon from her late residence, interment being made in Durham cemetery. The service will be conducted by her pastor. the Rev. B. D. Armstrong. Besides her immediate family. Mrs. Hunter is survived by one sister. Mrs. A. H. Jackson. of Dur- ham and two brothers.
