The thought that my parishion­ ers and other friends wlboi are read­ ers of your newspaper might be in­ terested, prompts me to lines about my trip to Land. Accompanied by my M. A. J. Waters, of First United Church, London, I sailed from New York on July 20th. Incidently, the name of the steamship was the .S. S. Exeter of the American Export Lines. After six days at sea, we made a brief call at quaint Ponta Delgada in the Azores Islands. We did not stop at Gibraltar, but we were close enough to that mighty’ fortress to appreciate its ideal lo­ cation at the entrance to the Medi­ terranean Sea, After a day at Mar­ seilles, we proceeded to ■ Naples, where a twelve .hour’s stop-over gave us an opportunity toi visit ancient Pompeii. The excavations are in­ deed remarkable. One can almost- see the people who were living there when the eruption of Vesuvius cov­ ered the city with lava in August 79 A.D. The seacoast drive from Amalfi to> Sorrento is one of the most beautiful in the world—-wind­ ing around the lofty mountains with the blue sea below. Colorful Egypt was the focus of our attention for two interesting days. Most of that time was spent in 'Cairo where we visited the famous Egyptian Mus­ eum, rode ‘by camel to the Pyramids and sailed on the historic Nile. Landing at Haifa, the most im­ portant port of Palestine, we proce­ eded up the Mediterranean coast to Beirut, passing Acre, Tyre and Sidon en route. Very little is left of their former glory. In fact, the same can be said of nearly all me towns and cities mentioned in the Bible—Dam­ ascus aOdi Jerusalem being the strik­ ing exceptions, One of the most thrilling motor drives that I have ever experienced, was up through the mountains to the famed cedar« O'* Lebanon—-huge been standing for years. , These old descendants of the Solomon in tbe building of Israel’s greatest temple.

Consequently, it is an interesting combination of the ancient and the . modern.

Probably there, more tlhan in any other part of Palestine, one can see the -foot-prints of the Master. It was there that He spent a large pan of His ministry. It was on it’s shore that He called those humble fishermen to follow Him. And it was tiliere that He re-appeared to them after His Resurrection. I could speak at considerable length about Nazareth, Cana, Caes­ area Philippi and other sacred spots, but may I conclude with a few re­ marks about Jerusalem which we have made our headquarters for- the past ten days. From (here, we have made side-trips to Bethlehem, Beer­ sheba, Bethany, Jericho, the Dead' Sea and Mount Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised' Land. But naturally, it is Jerusalem that holds the centre of attention. As Jesus predicted, history has not been kind to the Holy City. It sieged and wrecked since that first Good the Mount of Olives, Golgotha and the Holy sepulchre still hold their hallowed associa­ tions. And while Arabs and Jews both claim this sacred soil, His Spirit is urging all Christians to take up our crosses and follow after i Him.i the Apostle Paul, southward, we got of the River Jordan' Galilee.

Blank Check Books this'Office University Education Is a Great Asset There were nine hundred and twenty - three students attending the University of Western Ontario- Summer Schools for the six weeks ending August 14th. There were two thousand, six hundred and fourteen regular students enrolled * during the academic year which closed on June 30th, 1937. The University of Western Ontario is thus rendering a great service to the community and to the nation. The greatest asset that Canada has is its young' people. These are far more important than all mate­ rial things combined, such as lands,, forests, mines, water powers, manu­ facturing institutions, financial cor­ porations, etc. The future of the Dominion -is in the hands of its young people under twenty-five years of age. It is essential, there­ fore, that they should be given the best possible training and that they should be equipped in every way for their responsibilities as citizens- of this Dominion apd of the British Empire. A college or university cannot supply its students with natural mental equipment, but it can help them to acquire ability to use the equipment they have and to take advantage of their oppor­ tunities and to develop their stand­ ards and ideals so they will con­ form to the best type of citizen­ ship. . - In this perplexing age, there- seems to be a great dearth of leadership of the right kind. There are far too many people who look upon life as an opportunity for per­ sonal aggrandizement or as a means of living selfishly. These are not -the things that help in home or nation building. A univer­ sity course is intended to help to develop leaders in social, profes­ sional and business life, but lead­ ers are needed who have, high standards and high ideals and who- believe in the fundamental princi­ ples on which our civilization is based. They must be capable of working out in practice their con­ ceptions of truth and their respon­ sibilities of life. The public is no longer indifferent to the thoughts and acts of men. Conditions are too serious for that. Sane and: capable leaders are the greatest need today. The University of Western On­ tario 'throughout 'its whole history has been devoted to the special', training of young men and young women for an intelligent discharge of their duties as citizens. A uni­ versity education enables young­ people to enrich their lives intellec­ tually and spiritually. It opens up to them the right kind of vistas of pleasure and achievement and in­ creases their efficiency as workers in all walks of life. The philosophy of civilization teaches that the educated man or woman is not only a better personal worker, and a better neighbour, but a higher type of citizen. In this age, the State feels the need for more and better training of its citizens. The duties *and re­ sponsibilities are so enormous that democracy cannot live, much less thrive, unless we have an in­ creasing number of highly trained, broad-minded, well-informed men and women who van exercise their right judgment and not be misled in dealing with public issues. It is said that less than two per cent of the citizens of the country are procuring a university educa­ tion. This is a great pity. Nations that have world-wide leadership have emphasized the value they attach, in having their boys and girls trained and equipped as far as it is possible for their schools and colleges to do it. Take Scot­ land as an example. There is probably no similar small area on the surface of the globe that has produced so many men of out­ standing ability or men who have contributed so much to the pros­ perity of mankind or to the welfare of civilization. Scotland believes in educating its sons. If Canada- should follow the same pathway* our future would be assured. The people in.each country de­ termine for themselves what type of education they will provide for their youth. ,What the nation honours the schools will teach. Everything depends ’oh who sets the ideals. All educational Systems reflect the ideals of the people they serve. This fixing or determining of the standards, the purposes and the ideals is the privilege of those who write or Speak and express their views from platform, pulpit and press. It is, in brief, the creators of public opinion who say what out Schools shall teach and how the country’s youth shall be trained to meet the problems of the world. The university provides the ma­ chinery to do the work which the public demands. The boy who would ‘live at his best must pro­ cure the best training of which ho is capable.
