There are those who take the stand that some of the Provinces should be allowed to default, but Premier Bennett is at the helm and he holds the directly oppo- d ie view. More Budget Blunders The Government got into real bot water over its proposal in the budget to suspend all war pensions of civil servants and they have announced a modidiestlon of this etas, though the latest details have not been released yet.

Mr. Stev- ens wee very careful not to glee the Hoses any figures at all, though hes stated that conceivably the Govern - went may get out without the loss of a single dollar on its operations in that connection.

Dr. Motherwell feared that the Govern- ment's latest plan. regarding agricul- ture would not prove any more bene- ficial to agriculture in the last analy- sts than its five cents per bushel wheat bonus and its "backdoor, star chamber wheat hedging deals." Senator Riley, In the Senate, pro- posed that an enquiry be started in that body as to the advisability of setting up a national marketing board, and this may be done. The Commons advanced through their early stages the Government bill to greatly restrict the sale and carry- ing' of firearms and adding two years to the maximum aestence for robbery with arms, and also the bill to take away from the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission 'the ap- pointment of all ineniwre of the peni- tentiary staffs throughout the coun- try.

Watts; owing to Moms. was unable to - take part In the meekest, and at morning worship Mr. J. 1'. Hume on behalf of minister and congregation extended a cordial welcome to Dr. Hunter, and intro- duced him to the congregation. Dr. Hunter said he was glad to he with the congregation of Nob street church, which was recognine8 as one of the eutatanding charebes of Oa London Conference. He was sorry that his friend, Rev. Mr. Watts, had been laid aside by Illness and prayed that he might soon be restored to his wonted health and strength. Tim. Hunter said he had been looking et the pictures In the vestry of past min- isters fristers of the church, and be congratu- lated North street on the number et able preachers who from Uwe to Elms had been pastor of the congregatloa. Dr. Hunter'. theme for his mora- ine orn-ing sermon was The Value of Re- ligion," the text being, "Godliness le profitable unto u,il things" (1 Tim. 4: 8). Religion is a great help, aald the speaker, in every phase of life if It is that religion what has for its es. pression the life of the Lord Jesus Christ living in these difficult times, we must hold on to religion. This world has become so wonderful, so complex, our knowsldge d the great, universe has become so wide, that it is dim ult to believe that the mighty God Who created and set in motion numberless worlds can really be Ir terested In at, Inalgniticaut an atom as man. As we learn to know God through His Son, Jesus, the Christ, we not only believe 1n His power sad His greatness, but we believe also V His love for'men tCa Individuals. This belief in God Iles at the foundation of religion.

This-qua)Ity of cod which we call religion enables man to meet the crises which are always occurring In his career, and if his re- ligion is real and vital the decisions he must make will be right and true. r;+. Religion Is a help, too, In the long. ? level stretches of life. The hardestAi thing one can do la to live sweetly and contentedly in monotony, wheth- er it be the monotony of the bun - netts omee, -of the teacher's desk, of the shepherd's watch, or of the house- - wife's daily round.

The Evening Service At the evening service Dr. Hunter took as his subject "The Value of • l'nrptete." direst Ink Iris remarks chiefly towards the young people. The text was from 1 Kings 19,1;1 -"And It was so, when Elijah beard 1t, that he wrapped his fate In his mantle, ami went out, and stood In the Pe- tering in of the care. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, 1 and said, what. &deet thou here, Elijah?" "A pure oee," mid Dr. Hunter, "la the primary element of true living.
