T. lT- The regular monthly meeting of the W.C.T.U. was held in James St. Church on Thursday, May 13th. Miss Hogarth conducted the devotional ■period. Several ladies offered pray­ ers. A psalm was read and the Lord’s Prayer repeated in unison. The President Miss Hartnoil presid­ ed far the remainder of the meeting The minutes of the last meeting, were read and approved. The treas­ urer reported $16.74 of a balance on hand. Proceeds from the medal con­ test amounted to $5.85, expenses in this connection being $7.72. The roll call was responded to by ten members. It was moved by Mrs. Beavers and Mrs. Johns that we send $10.00 to the Budget Fund. Carried. Mrs. W. C. Pearce was asked to interview the trustees of Main Street Church re­ garding the holding of the County Convention in that church early in July. It was arranged to hold the June meeting in Main Street Church. Proceeding the study for the af­ ternoon, Mrs. B. W. F. Beavers read in part, the Presidential address of Mrs. F. C. Ward at the Toronto Dis­ trict W. C. T. U. which was held at Willard Hall. Mrs. Ward challeng­ ed the women, who can, by the pow- ' er ot the franchise gain demands, the time has gone for passing res­ olutions, there must ibe persistent effort to uproot the evil of intemper­ ance. There are enough women in this city, Province and Dominion, who by using their franchise could > cbtain any legislation they want. Non-partisan parties are needed in' order to get a beer and wine refer­ endum. Our study followed and was en­ titled “A Christian, View of the Liq­ uor Problem.” The attitude of the Christian to­ ward liquor has been a changing one This change has been rapid during the. last 100 years. In olden days Christian men dealt in rum and slaves, went to church and thanked God they had been instrumental in bringing the tbenighted savages un­ der Christian civilization, but all this has passed. Time, conditions cud a growing understanding of the mind of Jesus has- changed the atti­ tude of the Church from one of ap­ proval and toleration to one ot acute hostility. There is now a con­ sensus o-f conviction in the great Protestant deuomintions that the supreme power of the Church must be pitted against the supreme enemy of the Church. It is also true in the Roman Catholic Church that there are great temperance organizations and great leaders who seek to make an outcast of this age old enemy of the' Church. 100 years ago seven men of Preston, England, signed a pledge, which is supposed to be the first ever “In order and give world o-f pledge to intoxicating quality.” great body of people today with that same ideal. A Christian must also face the social aspect of the liquor problem, he must think of the liquor in re­ lationship to neighbors and homes. The Gospel "knows of no' Christians that are free from social obligations and responsibilities. Jesus has made it clear that He has nothing in com­ mon with any man who does not make common cause with his neigh- bers. Liquor has made many homes to be unhappy, indeed it has chang­ ed many homes to be a power of good into actual hells. The Christian will look upon al­ cohol in relation to the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God must furnish the dynamics that will make any co-untry decent “The nation that feared not God shall die” and friend of Jesus will find it exceedingly dif­ ficult to find any .ground for being a friend of alcohol. Mrs. Chas. Johns gave a reading entitled “In the Shadow of the Churches” which follow in part: In the shadow of the churches, Hour »by hour, anft. day by day; There are fellow-creatures starving, Like the sheep that went astray. Are we right in thus with holding Bread of Life and temporal bread While in cushioned pews we worship Are we thus Divinely led? Think you He accepts such service. From the ones whose sins He bore Call yourselves obedient children And can offer nothing more? Less those fullest consecration Is not worthy of our Lord; He is offering full salvation Let us show it from His word. I I drawn up against alcohol, that I may be at my best my best in building the to-morrow, I sign this abstain from all liquor of There is a LETTER FROM ENGLAND The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hoffman, of Dashwood from their son Harry, who was a member of the Coronation Choir in London, England.

I expect to go to the opera next week “Aida” with Tibbett in it, if I can get seats. They have to be ordered a long time ahead. I don’t know, when I will be leaving, but expect to take an­ other boat anyway. Sir Walfred Davies wants us to sing -for the King and Queen sometime in June if it can be arranged. You have no idea of the color of the decorations and the seating. Some large plate windows of stores were taken out to put in seats. The paper states that in the Abbey there were some 100,000 jewels and how they did sparkle. These with the other colored garments are impos­ sible to describe. I had a full view of the procession in the Abbey, Queen Mary when leaving (how dig­ nified) bowed from side to side. She sure looked lovely.

CROP CONDITIONS The following summary on ther and crop conditions at the be­ ginning of May has been compiled by the Statistics Branch from reports of correspondents. The weather during April was very -unfavorable for spring cultiva­ tion and seeding. Cold wet weather prevented operations on the land and at the end of the month less seeding of oats and barley was completed than in any year since 1922. Only 5 per cent, of the intended oat acre­ age had been planted and 3 per cent, of the barley acreage. Warm dry weather was greatly needed for com­ pletion of the seeding of spring grains and for good .germination. Precipitation in Ontario during the five months, November to March was practically equal to the average received during the past fifty-five years. It became quite excesive in Southwestern Ontario, reaching flood proportions in the London area. The soil is well-supplied with moisture and provided satisfactory growing weather prevails from now on, the yield of spring grains this season may be well up to the average. Winter killing of fall wheat was about the same as in 1936, being less than normal. The acreage seeded last fall was 702,000 acres and win­ ter-killing amounted to 8 per cent, leaving 646,000 acres to be harvest­ ed this summer, as against 509,300 acres a year ago. This increase is due to the stimulus provided by rise in wheat prices. Fall rye suffered less injury with only an estimated 5 per cent of the acreage being win­ ter killed. The cool moist weather has been favorable for the develop­ ment of fall wheat and fall rye and their condition at the beginning o< May was almost normal. With good yields fall wheat will prove one of the best crops in years. The visible supply of wheat in Canada is lowest on record since 1925. we a- Shall Inherit It •Well, Mr. Hop­ like our new cur- Rector's wife; ■kins, I ho-pe you ate.”' Mr, Hopkins: ’ you.

A THRILL! A LAUGH A MINUTE A MAN-SIZED BREAKFAST Brides should promise to do more than love, honor and cherish. They should agree also to provide manful Sunday morning breakfasts for their youthful husbands. Mrs. Joseph Ge- nungj of Horseheads, N.Y., celebrat­ ed her sixtieth wedding anniversary by advising newly wed brides “you should know how to cook.” Her hus­ band is a fiddler. For sixty^years Mrs. Genung has delighted him with a Sunday breakfast to his liking. He is still a fiddler, still married. A nationally popular restaurant man in New York, consulted on the Sunday breakfast question, bangs his fist on a table, shouts with feel­ ing. “Tell these young women who wonder why husbands get restless, that a man wants to feel like a lord in his own castle on -Sunday morning He wants a liesurely breakfast with food he favors, and he doesn’t want the kids tearing through the house when he eats it.” What Husbands Like Assured that the girls of America would de duly informed of his op­ inion, this noted provider of break­ fasts to countless famous men, calms down, discusses -food. “Around this time of the year,’” he confides, “a breakfast planned to a man’s taste would consist of eithex’ fresh or stewed fruit, such as -fresh rhubarb or baked apple. Fifty per cent, of the masculine world prefer ham and eggs or bacon and eggs as a second dish, although such dishes as -picked up’codfish in cream (salt codfish) steamed -finnan haddie, kippered her­ ring, bloater, corned beef hash and egg, and sausages and eggs have their devotees.” This astute observer of husbands believes that a man will eat cereal it it is served tn .him on a“club breakfast,” or if it is a regular part of his usual home breakfast, but that if he sits down to decide for himself^ he will usually omit cereal. “Men like hot cakes,* though,” he adds. “But as they grow older and have to be more careful about what they eat, the popularity of hot cakes sharply declines. Youth and hot- cakes go together. An expanding waistline and gray at the temples had better sigh, and pass them by.” Spring Rhubarb Sauce Use pink rhuibarb. Clean thorough­ ly, Cut into 1-2-inch pieces, place in earthenware or enamel saucepan and sprinkle with sugar, using 2 cups of sugar to every 4 cups rhu­ barb. Stand for at yeast an hour, until the sugar draws out some of the juice. Cook slowly, adding- a little water if there is not enough juice. When tender, mash through a sieve. Serve cold with a pitcher of thick cream. Now you’re* one up on that alLfor liappy-marriage Sunday breakfast question.
