It was that we are printing too much churcli news. "Wo reads chunch news anyway ?"" she asked. To the charge we did not plead guilty, but we have been pondering over r it eVe~r since. Too! much 'church news, and nobody readinig it. As we looked over our files and saw 'the columns and columus o! news we,-have devoted ta the churches o! Whit-4 by and district we were tempted ta ask in the light o! our woman reade's charge, 64For what, purpose was this waste >?" To be quite frank wit h aur readers, we have always made it a point te print ahl the churcli news we could get ihi the Gazette and Chronicle. Perhaps we have been lab- aring uinder the illusion, but we always had the im~pression that the churcli served a largeand very useful place in every cern- munity and that without it much o! the relilgieus atmosphere we find prevailing in towns- like Whitby would be missing, sa we feIt that it was our duty te support stich an institution, especially when it is attended by mest peeple even if only once a year. Our idea has been that one o! the chie! functions o! a nàewspaper is ta give support te every worthy cause and in this category we have always placed the church.. Our aim has been net so muh print sermons but te record such ev~ an- nual meetings, anniversaries, vi Min- iters 'and missionaries, new .bu*ings or improvemnents, and, o! course,-notices o! Sunday services. Perhaps we have aver- done it. If we have we humbly apolpgize te our readers. However, will somne reader please! enligliten us on this subject. We will beé pleased te have a letter or two on it., In the meantime the printin g o! church news goes "on. We Recomend Gardening That o! t repeated phrase; "The tired business man" is neyer more applicable than at this partýcular season o! the year., SpningI time la garden time and from now on there will, be many an acling back among those whose most ardueus activity during the winter menths las been push- ing a pencil. On tIe other hand there are mauy who have neyer taken up tIe mest eathralling pastime; but as timepasses, more and more are nealizing Vihe benefit ac- cruing from garden work and are- joining the ever increasing rauks o! those who art gandea 1workers. ~rening is a wonderful hobby in it- SThis-is particularly seo! a fiewer *rden whicl offens almost limitless fieldis for experinentationas well as developing au appreciation o! beauty.' A garden o! any description offers a means o! relaxa- tien from tIe hurry'and bustie o! modenî life; taking the mind away from VIe wer- ries that ail toa often foliow men fromn their work. Mauy men get as much "kick" eut o! their achievements ln their gandens as Vley do fnom their mest astute business deals.- They have VIe satisfaction o! see- iug the. ganden develop slowly aiong the lines they have laid eut until at maturity there is a certain prîde ef ownership that will overshadow ail the trials and, difficul- ties that have beset VIe path. From a lealth standpoiat there is neil- ing 1 ike a garden. The gardenen is able tî. gel mUcI needed exercise that is mast beneficialNte lis well-being. An abundance o! fresh vegetables from one's own garden always seems se mucî nicer than anything thal can be purclased lu a store. .

Conant- madie asMestion at.the dînner meeting of the Qnt6rio County Bar Association held re- cently in relationto members of his own Profession, whkch if acted upon would be a step in the rîght direction. Mr. Conaut said he. felt that the time is close at hand when: the legal profession should be bond- ed. Defalcations on the part of lawyers, in. bis- opinion, was caused by carelessness in book-keeping, and solicitors should be ceai- pelled to keep separate books o! trust funds which they held in their controi. Along the same line o! thought* the Kit- chener ]Record in a recent editorial had the following to say: "The defalcation of J. J. Iluggard, prominent Seaforth lawyer, leaving many people who could iii afford it with their life savings gone, raises the question agaiii o! some means o! protecting the public iii such cases. Only a few years ago there was the Strat!ord tragedy, where a prominent î and trusted lawyer, Thomas Brown, disap- peared with large sun*Ilonging to his clients. The legal profssion, he sake o! its own good reputation should take steps te frame some legisiation which, wilI proteet the public. There should be some method of- bonding, or ýpublic accounting or some other-means to prevent such community calamities. It may be difficult to work out, but in any case it seems outrageous that a man in a position. o! trust and responsibil- ity could be able, witheut any check, te de- Iptcate suIi h11eSinib mwith tUr, conge- Iquent tragedies."l Easy Divorce Condemned Figures published flot long age indicate there las been an alarming increase in the number -o! divorces tîrouglhout Canada and especially in the Province o! Ontario. Sudh a condition is te say the least de- plorable. The ever increasing attitude of looseness that prevgils throughout the province reganding the sanctity o! the marriage tie is semetling that should arouse intelligentthinking legisiators te make drastic changes that. would result lu a -tikhtening up o! existýig légsa~n Mn. mJustice Kelly was se mdved at a re- cent session o! the Supreme Court at Chatham that he delivered scathiing denun- ciatien on divorce procedure. He comment- ed that le was convinced the Act new lad the effect o! inducing many youug" people te get married feeling that they could get a divorce iu a year or se. It, is a most unfortunate position lu which the prevince finds itself. Tlat thene is provision- for the securing o! divorces iu a ratIer easy manner is lamentable. It las paved the way for the practice ef psuedo trial marniages into which -the con-. tracting: parties pluage without due con- ideration o! the serieusness o! the step they are taking. That Ontario, a province which for many years, las pnided itsel! on its moral and spiritual leadership, las fal- len on evii days should be a cause o! grave concera among religieus organizations. Whiie eue is -frequently unable te syni- pathize witI tlos&* involved la divorce pro- ceedings, tee mucl sympatly cannot be given te the chiidren o! these broken mar- niages. Tley. are placed"lu a most unen- viable position amoug their fellows whule at the, same time they do net receive any o! the" benefits that accrue from their as- sociation* with, loving parents. Ia every sense'a! tle ivord tley are orplans know- ing net wlene te turn.

We in Canada have- apparently fallen far.behind. There are those who use their automobiles se much that necessary exer- cise has- become a, task toc, tiring. for- themn.

Without it a nation, like an indi- vidual, must live on decreasing assets. With a high average of national health, earning. power and production naturaily increase. Therefore with the Éummer season at hand let us consider our bodily health first..
