in S. S. efficiency,
a 10% increase in attendance and one
new project undertaken each year for
three years.
Mrs. Philip Stewart, of Lucknow,
sang a solo “Leave it with Him".
An address was given by Miss
Margaret Mitchell, ofjMolesworth, on
the subject “Primary Work in the
Rural Sabbath School?’ She stated it
was not so much mechanics as dy
namics that was need in S. S. work
today. ‘ She referred to the Seed, the
Sower and the Soil, but dwelt large
ly upon the Soil, this being the child
ren of the school, their physical,
mental and spiritual -development at
various ages. She urged evangelism
for even the very young and gave ex
amples of Bible stories adapted to
various ages. In middle childhood
there was intense activity, physical
and mental. In later childhood, we
have the age of Hero Worship. She
said the S. S. teacher should be a
good story teller but the most im
portant was that the teacher should
be a devout Christian.
In the absence of Dr. Kannawin,
Rev. J. R. Greig, of Bluevale, con
ducted in a very helpful manner the
“Round Table Conference” and
brought out a good discussion on at
tendance at S.S. of today.
The Convention decided to send to
Dr. Kannawin a message of sympa
thy in his illness and1 the expression
of hope for his early recovery.
The Ladies’ Aid of St. Andrew’s
served a dainty lunch at 6 o’clock.
At 7.30 p.m. the evening session
opened with a song service led by
Rec. J. R. Greig and devotions by
Rev. K. MacLean.
The Rev. Samuel Kerr, of Brussels,
then gave an address on The Young
People and the S. S. He advocated
bettei' preparation on the part of the
teacher and stated that some give as
their reason for non-attendance that
there were so few in the class, no fel
lowship, others stated they did not
learn anything when they did come.
Mr, Kerr dwelt seriously with the re
quirements necessary for church
membership. The Church is the Body
of Christ and the Bride of the Lamb
and membership in it is a very sac
red' thing.
Rev. Mr. Kelly, of Listowel, gave
an address on “The Teacher and the
Child”. He showed that it wa's often
the habits of the parents that pre
vented or discouraged S. S. attend
ance. The boy sees Dad without re
ligion or anything mystical or poet
ical in his life and he is going to be
like Dad.
As the convention closed all pres
ent felt that it was a very helpful
one, The Rev. A. Leggett, of Moles-
worth, who is chairman of the Pres
bytery’s Y. P. Committee, presided
over all the meetings.

On Saturday night a car driven by
young men from near Clinton went

SOME BRIEF NOTES
ON THE CANADA
TEMPERANCE ACT
1926 to
of their
of 1935,
Act shall be
with the op-
Temperance
part of On-
No. 4. — The Liquor Control Act
Protected the Situation
The Liquor Control Act of 1929
specifically provided that “Nothing
in this Act shall be construed as in
terfering with the operation of the
Canada Temperance Act applicable
to any part of Ontario and no gov
ernment store shall be established in
a municipality in which the Canada
Temperance Act has been brought in
to force and is still in force.”
The Conservative administrations
in power in Ontario from
1934 observed this provision
own Act.
In the legislative session
the first after his coming to power,
Mr. Hepburn introduced and had .
passed several amendments to the
Liquor Control Act. One of these re
pealed the section as quoted above
and substituted the following: “No
thing contained in this
construed as interfering
eration of the Canada
Act applicable to any
tario, and no government store shall
be established and beer and wine
shall not be sold under the provisions
of this Act and the regulations in
any municipality in which the Can
ada Temperance Act has been
brought into force and is still in
force."
This legislation Mr. Hepburn had
placed on the statute books notwith
standing the fact that he had at that
time invaded the counties of Huron
and Perth, and in part Peel, with
beef authorities. It seems clear that
Mr. Hepburn at this stage sought to
get by with his private interpretation
of’the technical words “and is still
in force”. The question of the de
cision of wish of the people seems
not to have entered his tnind.
In the following year, to straight*
en his position and avoid the accusa
tion of violating his own Act, he re
pealed this Section (Section 68) en
tirely, The new Section 68 is one
that reqtxrics brewers to use properly
embossed corks in marketing their
products. The change is possibly
suggestive of the government’s idea,
of social reform.-Advt. t
