We recognize that other min- 1ebeis• and church members, esually sincere, differ from us and feel l.1 duty bound to participate in it. We take our stand upon the decision of our own General Council in 1893 'that was Is contrary to the mind of Obest' and 'we positively reject war because war rejects love, defies the will of Cludet and denies the work of man.' " 'Ilirere was a meeting of the"auh- executibe of the General Council of the United Church called to con- sider the matter,but none of the ministers who signed the deceive - don has been asked to attend. The wisdom of such a course is open to question because it indicates that a riot has taken place and suer matters do not readily heal them- selves'. The Past is as certain' as can be that Canadians generally would gladly subscribe to the statement regarding their abhorrence of war. The nays of war have not been our wary& of living. dt one were to sleet p'cstrtive evidence of that in otltecial records et could be really found in our general unpt'epared- nees for war. It eves so in 1914. We were not ready; we had very !title an *hitch to sitaajt; Ave had Lew trained men and we were short o7 supplies, When war came in 1959 we were in a position which was better oniy by degrees,. We had the advantage of the ereperieece gained in the last war, and we knew better how to go about the work in hand and avoid the blunders whien we previously made and paid) for, The point where most people fled it necesehrp to leprve the state. menet subscribed to by. the '15 mfhfs- tees: its that we are facing a definite situation which will not beard this way or that accord4t g to our desire els,' The central relate in the situ z. tt as a principle that whether a man should enlist tor active service is a matter he should: decide for himself. It is between him and his con- science. Of tonne, if a law is passed taking the decision out of his hands, that is a different matter. But we do not look for conscription. "Iaacicinlg that, tilse•e ought to be no awarding of white feathers to indicate cowardice, There was quite an epidemic of this cruel sport in the early days of the Great, War, Per'hsps the fact that a play called The Four Feathers has re• eesrtly been revived on the screen will have its influence upon the public, It is not necessary to es' surae that because a man does not want to be a soldier he is a coward. Ars a matter of fait, it requires no particular bravery to do what' every one else is doing, "The men who enlist are entitled to our respect and the best support we car give them, But no pres- sure should be put on those who do net go, as long its our iaws' permit them to remain, ,They should not be taunted or ostracized or other- wise ,made to feel 'that they are un- worthy cif the name 'Canadian, or even the designation of human be- ing.

The contest is a year long and the best individual record was madeby a Barred Rock hen from Paris, Out., witlh. 312 eggs, All the hens which are en'tererl in this contest seem to have but one purpose in life—laying ' egga, They are victims of the age in whirh we live where utility has run riot with comfort and Where the free and easy existence of a hen is something for writers of past hts- toey to record. It was not like that on, the Tenth Concession; not on Lot Four or any other place. Every farm kept chickens, white, speckled, brown, block and, several shades in be- tween, Nor was there ever any suggestion .that any of them be shipped to the Experimental Farm at Ottawa to show how many egg's they could produce.
