THANKSGIVING
Come, ye thankful people, some,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All -is safely ,gathered in,
E'er the winter's snows begin.
—H. Alford.
It would he a very thankless per-
son, surely, who could find nothing
to be thankful for in this land
of bounty. We talk of hard . times,
business depression, • and the like,
But we have had in Canada a bounti.-
ful harvest. _'Me have an embarass-
itxent of riches, indeed, in the burst-
ing elevators with no market for our
surplus wheat. And it does seem
too bad that such should be the case)
while peoples in other lands lack s
sufficient .food, Sometime, let us
hope, a way may be devised of see-
ing:that all the people of the world
are supplied with adequate food for
their comfortable maintenance. Can-
adacould produce millions more
bushels pf wheat if it were necessary
andworkers were available. But
the past couple of years she seems to
have produced more than there was
a' market for.
I do think that the world's great
leaders rnighht have evolved some
plan of distributing some of Canada's'
surplus wheat amongst the people who
lacked; it does not seem to be really
Christian to sit down in the midst of
such plenty while others are starv-
ing.
But, while •Canada has. such an
abundance of food stores, and we in
this quiet country community seem
to be supplied with all..the good
things of •life, there are many even
in this, land of plenty who have all
too little to sustain life.. Indeed, in
this very community there may be
some who are needy. If anyone
knows of such they should report to
the officials of the several churches,
who make provision to assist needy
cases. Thanksgiving time is a good
time to look up and Help any who
need help,

EARLY DIAGNOSIS
Remarkable progress has been
made in the campaign against tub-
eredlosis. In spite of the fact that
no specific means of preventing or
curing this disease has been discov-
ered, nevertheless, year by year, its
ravages are being lessened, This
progress is encouraging and should
serve to stimulate us to even greater
efforts to overcome a disease which
still remains one of the most power-
ful foes against which we have to
contend.
We should never lose sight of the
fact that tuberculosis is preventable
and curable. The majority of per-
sons become infected with the germs
of tuberculosis early in life, but net
all of then develop the disease. In
most cases, the germs lie dormant
because the individual's power of
resistance are maintained at a suf-
ficiently high level to hold the germs
in cheek.
It is when our resistance has been
broken down that the dormant germs
become active and tuberculosis devel-
ops. The disease is always due to
the action of the gerans which get
their opportuirity when, through bad
liviing conditions, worry, over -fatigue
or some debilitating disease, the
resistance of the body is weakened.
If the disease does develop, the
question of cure naturally becomes
the most 'important consideration,
Whether or not the disease will be
cured, and the length of time requir-
ed for cure, depend chiefly upon the
early diagnosis of the disease,
When the disease is diagnosed ear-
ly, there is every chance of its re -
speeding to proper treatment. The
longer the interval between the on-
set of the disease and the beginning
of treatment; the less chance there
is for cure, and the time .required
for treatment is proportionately in-
creased.
A practical consideration is that
it is in the group of persons ..who

The afternoon session was opened
by the ladies of the Ontario -Street,

The speaker of the day was Miss
Gillespie who said she had only
been in Japan for 5 years and she
would tell tis of the work of others
who had worked longer in Japan,
The ideas of Japan are changing
Formerly women were considered in-
ferior and could only serve tea or
arrange flowers. Now there are
many schools for both boys and girls.
Perhaps one reason is that there has
been a change in the industrial
world. Both ]ower and middle clas-
ses labor. Some 1,000,000 girls and
women find occupation in schools,
office, etc., 1,200,000 work in factor-
ies, and 62,000 work under the
ground in mines. Girls are demand-
ing independence. There are 223,-

week by the missionaries in Japan,

These women have received the mis-
sionary vision. In closing she told us
of a Religious Revival which is being
carried on for two years more. All
the missionary workers of Japan
have united in this effort. They
believe greatly in prayer and believe
the prayer life of the people is lack-
ing. She believes that at the end of

prayers for the .'Evangelists, the na-
tive leaders and for the non-Chris-
tians. The Courtesy and Resolution
committees brought in their reports.

given and much enjoyed,

have been exposed to tuberculosis lid
that new cases most frequently de- 1 g
velop. The more intimate and pro-
longed the exposure, especially if in
during childhood, the greater the s
likelihood of tuberculosis.
Any person who has been exposed
to tuberculosis,' and this generally
means anyone ,who has lived in a
home where there has been an active
ease, should be regularly examined
in order that the disease, if it does
occur, may be detected in its earliest
stages Such a person should, of
course, avoid those conditions which
we have mentioned as being likely
tospredispose to the development of
the disease by lowering resistance.
The person who, for Any reason,
suspects that he may have tubercul-
osis should seek an examination
without delay. If there is nothing
wrong, then the mind is set at rest;
if. disease is persent, the sooner this
is known, the better. • Early diag-
nosis is the key which unlocks the
door and admits the hope of cure,

We also have a short missionary pro-
gram, a collection and a lunch. There
being six circles in our Auxiliary,
each circle provides lunch for one
meeting during the year, So far our
sewing has consisted of patching
quilts, the work being previously
prepared by the committee in charge.
We find these metings very helpful
in creating and sustaining interest in
the work of our organization to help
to bring in some who would other-
wise not be interested. Although to
raise money is not the main object of
these meetings, the collections aid
materially in enabling to reach allo-
cation, In regard to finance, pro-
gress is steady. The energetic Sec-
retary of Christian Stewardship and

year, places on the blackboard a

Sir: In these days of indifference

around for tangible proof of the
same. Nothing gives better proof
than the history of the Jews. All
that has befallen them was foretold
by God's Holy Prophets, Their going
into Egypt, their sojourn there, their
being brought out by signs of won-
der, their rebellion against God's
laws, their reception of the Mes-
siah and their final dispersion a-'
