"MORE PRAYERS—
LESS PLANNING"
It is noteworthy that, while they
differed widely in many respects,
t h e two distinguished econ-
omists who recently addressed the
Empire Club of Toronto were agreed
otr one point. Both expressed the
opinion that a religious revival was
an essential factor in permanent re-
covery from the worlds present trou-
bles. Prof. Gilbert Jackson expres-
sed regret, coupled with surprise,
that he had been unable to discern
any plomentory signs of such a
movement. But in England, where
the same conviction of the need for
a revival is held, there is a feeling that
the country is on the verge of rl
widespread return to the recognition
of God and of spiritual values as the
very basis of individual and national
life. The London Times devoted its
first leading editorial of the year tc
this topic. Ili the course' of this re-
markable editorial the Times said:
"There are distinct signs today of
a religious revival, a revival the
snore likely to be lasting because it is
unspectacular and is clevel•eping slow-
ly from within. Already its influ-
ence is perceptible in many fields.
The supposed conflict between relig-
ion and science is at an end. The
Churches, which are not to be judged
by their partisan extremists, are re-
gaining lost ground. Whatever man
still be their faults, they are con-
centrating increasingly upon purposes
that really matter. Conspicuous a-
mong these is the necessity of a-
chieving greater utrity among them.
selves.
"The social work of the Churches
has never been done better than it is
done to -day, and the part they have
played in providing for the moral
and physical needs of the unemploy
ed deserves more recognition than i'
has received. Among those, again
who are but loosely attached to any
Church, there are signs of a new
spiritual hunger, of a growing convie.
tion that any interpretation of life
which leaves out God reduces it ,to a
nightmare.
"Frivolity of the imbecile tYpe ie
no longer 'fashionable among the
young; they are studying religious
and social problems with keener at-
tention, and are rediscovering the
supreme interest of the Bible. No
doubt there is still much to be set on
the other side of the account; self-
indulgent folly and indifference tc
the deeper aspects of life remain too
common, and more pernicious ever
than these is the poisonous spirit that
would foment class -hatred and pour
scorn on sacred things. Yet, when
every allowance has been made for
the uglier symptosis, it does seen
true that a widespread return to re-
ligion can in fact be discerned to -day.
A year which witnessed a definite
advance ief this movement would be
a year not lacking the best kind of
happiness."
It certainly is a rather striking
fact that the economists and the
secular press should be seeking di-
ini
di-
vine uthe,olein
aid solution o of the wort e d.
economic problem. It is somewhat
ironical that under these circum-
stances there should be a disposition;
on the part of many religious leader.
to abandon the moral and spiritual
sphere, which is the true domain of
the Church, and to undertake to
cure the sickness which has fallen
upon the world by reason of selfish-
ness and sin by changes in the econ-
omic and social systems. May it not
be that this attitude on the part of
the Church itself is the reason why
the revival tarries? Would not the.
churches accomplish more if there
were more praying and less plan-
ning?—Orillia Packet -Times,

RAILWAYS SHOW IMPROVE-
MENT
In a report made' by Acting Super-
intendent Hungerford and' presented
to Parliament by Silon. Mr. Manion,
minister of railways, a -number of
economics were cited.
The total payroll is 39 per cent be-
low the 1929 figure. The average
number of employees and -amount of,
dompensation they received, for 1929
to 1932 inclusive, is as follows:
Average No. Com.-: .
Year of Employees pensation .
1929 111,383 $1771037,682'
1930 101,046 159,980,994
1931 91,416 139,784,63C
1982 76,616 106,911,608.
"In addition to staff reductions,
all employees of the System were
subjected in 1932 to decreases in
rates of pay. The economy effect-
ed by these decreases in rates of pay
reduced the payroll account by more
than $10,000,000 per. year. The sup-
ervisory payroll elf the Canadian Na-
tional System was considerably re-
duced during 1932 through the con-
solation of operating districts and
divisions; by the abolition of a num-
ber of positions, and by a general re-
adjustment of salaries, so that the
cost of supervision of the Canadian
National System is currently at a
level approximately 35 percent be-
low that of 1929.
"The elimination of a great many
unprofitable passenger services has
been brought about by a severe cur-
tailment of passenger train miles.
Some idea of the extent of these re-
ductions may be gained by realizing
that they are equivalent to wiping
out practically one-third of the pas-
senger train service operated in 1929,
"When the general upturn in busi-
ness comes, the Canadian National
System will show, in increased net
earnings and income, its power of
recovery."
