So far June has favoured us with a good
brand of weather of crop production. The days
have not been intensely hot but they have been
warm enough to promote growth. We are earn
estly hoping that we have a season of steady
weather with moderate wrarmth, occasional
showers and lots of sunshine. Earners believe
that such conditions will mean a good harvest,
in spite of the late season, At any rate, "hope

One need not seek for the reason of this serious

that has considerably lowerd the vitality of the

We Can Give The Reason
Even editors sometimes go to church. The
statement may surprise our readers, but it is
largely true. Especially do we like to attend
those anniversary services that now occupy so
large a place in the activities of the country
churches. There being nothing commanding
about our personal appearance, we escape no
tice and have for that reason all the better op
portunity of noting what is going on. Well, this
year we have rural choirs. There have been a
number of young ladies who lead the service
of praise with perfect taste and acceptability
but the young men are not there. These young
fellows are away under His Majesty’s colours.
And that’s that. Further, we have noticed the
shoulders of a great many people are stooping
more than one would look for at the time of
life of the bearers of those shoulders. The ab
sence of the young men explains that fact.
Those shoulders, particularly the shoulders of
the mothers, are carrying too heavy a load, and
the more’s the pity. Further, we have noticed
the absence of the lines on the faces of those
fine people that should be there telling the
;story of happiness and joy in living. We do
not wonder. The war is no friend of happiness.
'While all this is true, there is an expression of
joy on those fine faces that tells of the pride
those country people have in making an offer
ing so precious that freedom may not perish
from the earth.

We understand that the Presbyterian Church
in Canada has in contemplation some arrange

into theological cooperation with the United
Church of Canada and the Anglican church. The
proposal under contemplation is that the Uni

Presbyterian church two professors and the An-
lican church two professors for a theological
faculty foi’ Me Gill University in Montreal. We
like the idea of theology’s being a faculty in a
university. We like, too, the idea of all branch

Not Enforced
Our attention has been called to the failure
to enforce the non-strike laws of this fair land.
Well, editors must judge affairs by events. We
were not practically aware of anti-strike laws,
as far as Canada is concerned. You see, we are
a party ridden country. Before anyone takes
action in the way of enforcement of anti-strike
laws he does well to look at the ballot box.
Those'who neglect this step may as well pre
pare for a sound political licking, and that
would be altogether too bad. Unfortunately, w'e

fair land, of passing a law about this or that

from the victory is the necessity for a great
increase in our armaments. Where we have one
of those fighting machines, we require a hund

we fight an unscrupulous foe. Reports tell us
that our forces landed on this island with the
enemy flying a flag of truce. Nevertheless when
our men got on shore they were obliged to fight
a stiff battle for possession of the field. We can
take no chances with an enemy who does not
respect his own flag of truce. We can go for

orchards that have long since seen their days
