He had expressed. the wish to formally revive a framed cpi>y of the Declaration in the last week of December, so that he might comment on .it pub- Jicly as the Centennial year was about to begin.. Unfortunately, this event, had to be postponed. Thus it was that he received Mr. Becker, John Fisher, Father John Keating, Rev. Keith Wool­ lard, Father Jean Brunelle and Mrs. Eye Gilstorf on February 15. He wias- -deeply moved by the' fact that ail of1 the 34 faiths in Canada had been able tp find a basis for co-operation. He eonsidared ft an„ historic, event, for only. Canada had suc­ ceeded in such an effort. He was delighted to see the publication of an Anthology of Prayer in the .two languages native to him and expressive of common religious concepts. But, above. all, he thrilled, to the 180 simple words of the Declara­ tion, for they reflected the ■most important concepts of Canada which lie held dear, “spiritual and moral founda­ tions”/ “free to fulfill their des­ tiny under God”, “many ori­ gins; sharing a common coun­ try”; mon pursuit of righteousness’ “we shall think not of ourselves alone, but of all the people of the world”. Small, wonder, then, that he and * Madame Vanier were pleased to act as Patrons of the Canadian Interfaith Conference and that they were so Whole­ hearted in allowing their names, indeed their signatures, to be attached to this beautiful and meaningful Declaration. In tribute to him, and as con-., sitant reminder of his great human qualities, Canadian fa­ milies will each Wish to have a copy of this Declaration, 'in their homes. In .either 11” x| 8” or the larger 11” x‘16”, it can be purchased from the Can­ adian Interfaith Conference, 227 Laurier Ave. West.

A Century of usefulness This collection of very old china is in the possession of Mr. and. Mrs, Fred Weston, Bayfield. The dishes were the property of the Stonehouse, fapiily early in the 1800’s and are still being used today. They have no markings at all, an indication of their age we are told. Notice the change which' has taken place over the years in'the style of sugar and cream servers. The sugar bowl pictur­ ed here is more like a basin while the creamer is bigger still,! We wonder if the deep saucer, more like today’s cereal dish, was designed like that to make it easier to sip tea from it?
