It is very noticeable how ^ ninny/ buildingS have been trans- fosined with coats of paint, of late, in town and country. We have often thought .that Ontario could be made a thing of beauty and a joy for ever if we could keep brightly painted our numerous buildings in urban and•rural parts. 0 One remembers a long drive in a North of England valley, in ascross- ceuntry bps, where the road rah miles hy a lordly estate, and where on 'so zuaisy fa mos that stood back on the hillsides and in thelower tt1Ieys build- ings were all showing themselves in seemly coats of whitewash.

Our concessions, and sideroads will smile back at us when the heuses and barns and other buildings are dressed up in color and -when eyesores of unpainted dwellings and unsightly weather-beaten farm -buildings are treated to a new beauty scheme by some magic hand showing what a few ga lions , of paint can do. Some -writer' has said that, if we could somehow be transperted back in history to a sight of the old countries of Enrope as they appeared 'some four or five hundred years ago, what would strike us most as we travelled through provinces and counties would be new vast white -stone ecclesiastical struc- lases, cathedrals and abbeys, which rose majestically and gloriously from their great foundations in that sacred- buildingera. Happily„ those stone teMples :aciruire a lovely grey aspect in their venerable age. But our simple frame dc'vellings and the 'wooden parts of our homes and barns.do not beautify under winter's storms and 'summer's heat, and all the wear and tear of climate.

By that Archbishop's voice -we are. linked with our chiefest_shrine and share in the religious romance.of the ages. • Meditating, on what an 'archbishop looks like, and how he bears himself and works up to that qualifying stand- ard for so exalted an office, we thought of a 'Pett Ridge 'stpry, of a curate in the East End of old London whe one night saw a hefty s Man suddenly punch a .woman on the Camberwell Road.

If you preach as well as you hit, you oughtbte be the Archbishop of Canter- bury." There are men who can never be happy in kt world which presents no opportunity for punching heads; but I am not sure -that this applies to -the .Archbishop. of Canterbury, the great churchman of obr time. • At our church the collection was left QU Sunday, envelopes and all,. and lo and behold: it was all there the neit Sabbath when we returned to the sacrect—trrilding tbats-has no locked doers, There is still a lot of honesty - in this country of juvenile delinquency and adult crime.- Of course a treas- urer or whoever is responsible should not be so forgetful and _careless. &it it is sa. good sign when open meneys are undisturbed and valuable things are left untouched.

It may be ,that the hen egg will become oils national emblem, competing with the maple leaf. I don't suppose Quebec would consent to e have that egg ,,on a national flag. The children, at the schools know all the lore of chicken -raising and feeding of hens before they get far into the grades: Oue youngster at one of the schools had had some experiences. re- cently with lousy coops and buildings; for one day, 'only a week or so ago, the teacher, wanting him to work up a descriptive essay on the general subject of fowl, asked the Child what hens were covered with.
