Raising Money for Chuî-ch Purpoas Varlous methods of raising, church funds, some of them openly adrnitted to be iu the. gainbling class, have been under fire recently lu view o! the. proposai, in the Ontario Legislature ta legalize sweep- stakes iu tus province of Ontario ta raise money for hospitais anid-public charities. Premier Hepburrs's reference ta saine -members o! the clýrgy as-hypocrites han ,drawn' the fire of many- gentlemen o! the cioth of variaus religlous- denominations, flot*~ithstandin'g the prime 'minister's ex- planation that h. had refere'nce only ta clergymen who countenane varlous forms o! gambling.,ta ralse nioney for churehS .purposes and cry aloud aga4nst' sweep- stakes. Wbile ln Tomono Sunday sevetal miînisters. took Premier Hepburn severely ta task for bis réference ta thé, members o! their profession as hypocritesr, there was one, the. Rev. G. A. Leichleter, o! Col-ý lege Street Baptist Cburch, wha while ýde- nouncing proposed Gôvsrnment-controlîed sweepstakes as a mnoral.hazard, an ethical weakness and an economie iusanity, read- ily admittèd that there 'were clergymen, who countenanced bingo . gam es, raffles and other petty methoda o! gamblinj- in the name of religion. «When a minister bas a marginal trading account wlth the .stock msarket, and when the margin gas down, h. can't do a good job o! kneeling lu prayer," this minister lsquoted as say- ing. Seema tous that while mouey for church purposes la admittedly bard ta raise becaus, rnany ciiurch-going people have not the true spirit o! giving, it lis a sad mistake for any church ta, resort tô or countenance gamblipg iu any fan ta raise churcb fuudt.

The resources of this country 'are vast and boundless and» tnany are being unearthed daily as wýere neyer h-iown toi exist before.

One of these days tbey will wake up like Rip Van Winkle and lament because they neyer had a chance.

Sweepstakes Breed Gamblera To legalize sweepstakes in Ontario ls just pulling down another bar which al- Iowa more free entry into, the gambling ares. Wben legalized betting by the pari- mnutual systeni at race tracks was Intro. duced in Ontario some years ago the top bar of the gate was torm off and throwji away. The piea then waà that hor-se-racing was on the. way out unlesasanime induce-. mentfor attendance was put- Into thespr ta attract customers. Of coursie the lira- mae Z the Obstacle ? Canada las a railway problem on its handa that- must at some time be solved or it will reach the proportion of putting the countky in auch a financial fix that a real crisis may resuti. Just how serlouis the problem is may flot gener ally be known by the average mari on the street but if he were asked to pay bis àhare of an an- *nual tax to keep the Goverriment railroad lu operation, the wails would be long and loud. lI the leading article in the current is- sue of "Canadian Business," there is this paragraph: "The Government bas the power' and the experts to decide what should bt- don. and consequently it is up to thent.to weigh ail proposed solutions or devise !their own-then take resolute action. And it would apparently be to their advantage to set about the o.Wtth mnoney from tbe potential annual saviings anywbere from $50-to $75 millions ad- initted by both railway mnanagemnents, Ot- tawa could balance its budget, supply more -social services, reduce the debt burden, re- establish the credit of the country and re- store confidence i the nation for renewed Prosperity. It iust be a big obstacle that is preventing the Governrnent froni pluck- ing theze rich pluma.". There was a time wben the presof the Provice would Say vé'ry littIe about the railway -problemn, but more and more thisi voice in becoming insistent and indepen-' dent thought is making itzelf heard. Public opinion là belng formed and may _ ln time chose to lead the Goverument juito, aetion. In other words, the electorate may assume the leadership. Canada needa railway sejrics but when the cons of those services are so badly out of Uine in proportion ta the. population served,. then.there are two things to do,ý either put the systeni on a paying basis'or hand it over ta amsoens who will.> There niay b. complications in the way to maklng the raiiway a self-supportjng Institution, but if a direct tax is necessary to talcs care of the costs, then let that direct tax be' impossd. The. peopie of Canada wouid at least know what they are paying for and how much. and also if they are willing to continue the payluents. tongal Note many shadows-but tters o! some men last only Swash weans off. - » fall off tue top rung o! the one's di.zzy with succesa.
