Each induction and reception passed off very pleasantly and there was no such embarrassing unpleasantness or grievous mistake made, as far as we could learn, as in one instance in old Methodist days. The storyis that in a rural church this initiation and re- ception came, as -it had always come, at the end of • the 'regular three-year pastorate.

Whoe causes the majority 'of road aecidents? ' Aceording to Arthur Rowan, in chatrge Of the. =Wilt - recording division cif, the Ontario De- partment of Ilighways, "mo.tbrists'who consider themselves good drivers, be- (antie they have 'lever had a t accident c. and assuthe they neer vssa a,ve one, contlyibute greatly to the ume of higfiwaY traffic aceideins." 'Mr. Rowan pointed out that fortun- ately., {len' Were ma fly good drivers who had deveZoped and- regularly prac- tisedsafe driving--habiM Many of these .had never had an accideut. But there was a group of drbvers who did not practise safe habits and ' who creditOd their ability rather than luck for keeping them out of trouble: - Referring to interviews he had had with hundreds of motorists involved ht accidents, Mr. Rwan said that pravtically all considered pemselves good drivers. They to • "talha eir c- 11# cidents happened wifely, ,,,,were driv- ing.in the •s.ante manner-. S they had time and time again without mishap. But . investigation Proved that they not oWerving the rules of safe iving. 'Sooner or later, said Mr. Rowan, the motorist who considered hithself a good driver simply because he had never had. an accident, would have one, unless he practised the ordinuy rules of safe dril'ing.* .-. Mailer' than "carelessness," which he said was a catch-all ,term, Mr. -Rowan attributed the -basic cause of most car accidents .to inattention, poor j u dgm en t. ' - and 'lack „, of .0 ad e rs ta ndin g of the requ1remen44- saf4" driving And safe walking, Ile thOught.that one of the most im- ortant. rules of safe driving was to anticipate danger in time ,to be -pre - aired for ft. For instance, it . was a safe practice, he e9xp1ained; to slow down before reaching an intersection, by taking the - foot . off the gas and placing it in position - on the brake pedal. This redueed the • 's'reaction time", in event of an emergency. Ile also advised adopting the habit of slowing down when passing parked cars,- aA Many accidents were caused by pedestrians stepping Without -warn- ing into the path of a Moving vehicle. in the street. But that figure was the minister, who -Was of the build of her spouse., It did not -enter her mind that she might be mistaken. -Running up to his side and catching ber arm in his', she abruptly cried out to hint, "How do you think we are going to,;put up with that dry old stick the -next three years?" . What the minister said has not yet been reported. So my story ends there.. Is there any place so Wing as a waiting -room, say in it dOcttIT's office or a dentist's set-up? Lately, I hav.e had experience of both, waiting, watch- ing the minutes and the hours go by, fidgety, wondering how much longer before one's name is -calledia.perhaps half wishing the name' slang!! not be called, and half decidinguto get up and ran 'away..

The organist didn't huprove the occasion or her feelings when he changed from his classic con- tributions to the old sacred song, where is my wandering boy :tonight?" as he sensed the nasty trick a man had played on A ready and waiting girl. A long, long wait in a waiting -room is not one of life's chiefest joys. There is a great opportunity to discipline our- selves in such waiting places, to grow a lovely patience, to feed good hope and .confidence.
