DRESSMAKER HAD
TO QUIT-SEWING
Hands Swollen with Rheumatism
Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine-
tenths of her work consists of sew
ing -— and she was not able to sew.
Rheumatism in the hands was her
trouble, and she tried any number of
remedies. But nothingx helped much
— Until she came to Kruschen.
“Three-and-a-half years ago,” she
writes, “I had a violent attack of
rheumatic pains. My feet and hands
were swollen, The pain was terrible.
I was really quite crippled and help
less.
“I tried many remedies without
success. Then I started on Kruschen
Salts, and after one month, I could
stand up again. Then, I walked with
a 'cane. In three months, I was quite
well again. As I am a dressmaker,
you can imagine what it meant to
me not to be able to work my sew
ing machine.. What a treat to be able
to walk, to work, and to be free from
pain.”—(Mrs.) E.S.
The stabbing pains of rheumatism
are often caused by needle-pointed
crystals of uric acid lodging in the
joints. Kruschen brings relief be
cause it helps to dissolve those troub
ling crystals and to expel them from
the system.

Y, P. S. Met( Sunday Evening
The regular meeting of the Y.P.S.
of Knox Presbyterian Church was
held’in the Sunday School room on
Sunday evening, with the vice presi
dent in charge. The Scripture lesson
from Jer. 18th, verses 1 to 10 was
read by Gordon Greig and prayer
was offered by Arnold Lillow. Rev.
J. R. Greig gave the 2nd lesson in
the sutdy course on “The Formation
of the Old Testament/’
"Long Ropes and Strong Stakes”
was the title of the chapter from the
study book, “'Twelve tests of char
acter” and. given by Miss Jean Elliott,
pointing out that if the young people
of today are going to be more ener
getic and active than their forefath
ers, they must have strong principal.
Mr. and, iMrs. P. D. King, who have
spent the summer at their home here,
left recently to spend the winter in
Toronto.
Mr. William Millet, who has spent
some weeks with his sister, Mrs.
Grace Snell and other relatives, has
returned to his home at Sioux Falls,
North Dakota.
Mrs. Thomas Coultes is spending
the winter with her daughter, Miss
Mabie Coultes in Toronto.
Mrs. Susan Morrison is visiting her

Wingham, Ontario, from the hotel
window, on Sunday morning, was
quiet as a settin’ hen. Only four peo
ple were in sight when, I walked up
the long main street. The window
shades of the stores were down to
hide the merchandise and. keep the,
people from seeing and thinking
about wordly goods on Sunday.
Inside the Episcopal church the
new chubby rector introduced him
self.
Down the street a red headed Bap
tist minister thought the United
Church of Canada theologically lax.
As he had millenarian learnings all
religions is bound to be on the down
grade.
On passing good morning to an
elderly Salvation army couple, guess
ed them to be Yorkshire blades.
“Yes sur, we be from Yorkshire.”
The wife said she would pray for me.
Bless her heart, maybe that is why
I had liberty in preaching.
St. Andrew’s church has a green
lawn in front and sits back from the
main street. It has a long history,
galleries all round and 400 members.
An elder told me the attendance was
down in summer. We had 200 at the
morning worship, which in my state
would be a high average any time of
the year for a church of that size.
The choirmaster graciously substi
tuted a psalm for one of the hymns,
and agreed to have nothing but
psalms next Sunday. As the only
poetry the average person ever reads
is in the worship of God, why not
use the best?
Bunyan would have called the mu
sic right “lusty singing”. The con
gregation sang heartily. Make what
you like of it but churches that sing
psalms have the best congregational
singing. Shades of Scotland: some
'of the older people followed the
Scripture reading with their toWn
Bibles. •
Guest preachers should not be flat
tered by the kind things said to them.

awake to see if he will spring any
thing on them, They can trust their
own minister but anyone from over
the border has to be watched. Cus
tom examiners can never stop the
smuggling in of queer religious no
tions into a country; Guest preachers
should do their best and not let the
regular’’minister down.
On the second Sunday I was
cheered and immensely relieved at
the increase in the Sunday night aud
ience. It rose to about 150. In Tor
onto “My lady of the snows” wor
shipped with 1,500 present, A few
churches' in that city have over a
thousand at night, and many run in
to the hundreds.
Perhaps the Scotch in Canada ac
counts for the good church attend
ance. A Vancouver minister assured
me, “The Scotch may like their whis
key, and squeeze their pennies, but
they go to church.”
From St. Andrew’s church I w.as
told union had taken away about a
hundred members. That reduction of
the roll would undoubtedly hurt. In
a small town it would cause talk.
And much talking about the extern
alities, the personnel and organiza
tion, tends to lower the spiritual tem-,
perature. Perhaps it temporarily
crippled its finances. But the spirit,
unity and loyalty appeared strong
and healthy. With no bitterness to
wards the seceders or the united
church that we could notice. No
where did I find much party spirit.
Evidently it has died down, and the
union accepted. Like Mrs. Poyser in
Adam Bede, “What’s to be broken
has been broken.-” The break had
come, so what.
If the Presbyterian church in Can
ada is .a remnant left over from a
great migration, it has nothing of the
defiant “we—may—die—but we will
not surrender” chara'cteristic of rem
nants. A spirit that evokes more pity
than admiration. It is sure it is not
a remnant, but the original body;
very confident, with high hopes, cer
tain of the place and mission in Can
ada. ,
Falling into conversation with a
Scotchman at the fountain in the
Toronto Exposition:
“Did your church go into -the Un
ion?”
“Oh, no.”
“Why?”
“We wer’na gaun to have our
church swallowed up by anither yin.”
The moors of her country has me
mpries of resistance unto blood ag
ainst being swallowed up by an alien
body. Memories and traditions about
persecution have a potent influence
reaching down the generations.
A village woman, 25 miles from
Toronto, assured me the Presbyter
ians swallowed the Methodists. A
town man assured me the Methodists
haci swallowed the Presbyterians,
My knowledge of Canadian Meth
odists is limited but I think I know
Presbyterians. They might be swal
lowed, .but they would be tough to
digest. Swallowing without mastica
tion leads to indigestion, colics and
convulsions follow.
As one witness contradicted the
other their testimony is not sustain
ed, We entertain the larger hope.
There was no swallowing at the un
ion but an attempt at blending, it was
not welding. But I gathered , by list
ening to competent testimony. The
leaders of the movement forget there
was much ’“thrawness” in the Scotch.
Change of climate and scenery has
not changed them much. About their
churches they can be vijsty, very
tltfawii. Where I live they say “mul
ish”
t am only haaardlng an opinion,
not expressing a conviction, Jbut there
was a lack of patience somewhere.
Lloyd George sata the first and last
requisit for a politician is patience.
For churches the grace of patience
should reign supreme in their hearts.
Church union, and I speak from
experience, and observation, is a diff
icult intricate wearisome task. Senti
ment, religious beliefs and property
all play their part. Combined, they
■ are formidable forces to sublimate, A
long courtship is needed before
churches unite. Something went
wrong with the wooing in the Canad
ian church marriage,
The union has taken place. It is
indissoluble. It would be good for
the souls of some Canadian Presby
terians if they forget the past. Den
ny said once, “The only.'fiope of Un
ion is to leave off talking about
words and try whether we can agree
about things and duties.” A whole
some forgetting is a healthy thing.
And I am poignantly aware it takes
grace to forget, and to agree about
things and duties.
Viewed objectively, the union has
stabbed the Presbyterian church ip
Canada broad awake, intensified and
deepened their church,
“Only recently did my father be-1
come clothes conscious,” a girl as-1
sured me.
The union has made Canadian
Presbyterians “church conscious.” If
they are as Christ conscious as they
are church conscious then its a great
day for Canada. As a church it may
have lost its membership. But there
are many encouraging eyents in
church history, where a secession or
division, call rit what you like, has
under God been the saving of both
churches. What John Wesley did for
the Episcopalians, is history. The
free church lost all but recovered all
in two generations. What the disrup
tion of 1843 did. in Scotland for Pres
byterians, the pessimists can read,
learn, understand and rejoice.
Whatever the Presbyterian church
was in the past, it is now a believing
-body with the optimism that goes
with faith. And we are told all
■things are possible by them that be
lieve.
They still sing the Psalms. The
Psalm singing J heard, in Wingham,
Ontario, is a treasured memory. 1
got a new vision when visiting a
"shut-in”. She was worshipping with
the Jews. “Isn’t it wonderful, they
worship (just like us,” she exclaimed.
Then I read a pathetic appeal from,
a Jewish rabbi.
Come sometimes to our synagog
ues and echo back to us our Hebrew
psalm's in the winsome tunes of your
metrical psalms. Teach us to sing.
We have forgotten how to sing
psalms. Sorrow has broken the harp
of David. And we have no language
but a cry.' In strange lands—i.e., in
nearly all the world, we could not
sing the Lord’s song. But where the
British tongue is spoken we do not
feel ourselves in exile. Here, we Jews
feel ourselves in no strange land. Can
we not worship God together? Teach
us your metrical psalms.”

Some Presbyterian choirmaster
should take his choir to a synogogue
and sing “Oh send thy light forth
and thy truth” “All people that on
earth we dwell”. New Israel may say,
might we be of those "things and
duties.” That would protest against
this persecution act as an example
•to the world and rejoice the risen
Lord, who in his day in his flesh was
a Jew.
