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.

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 W. M. S. Conference The W.

The sneaker gave us that verse on "Others" as a motto: Lord help me live, from day to day lir such a self forgetful way That even when I kneel to pray My prayer shall be for—Others. Miss Jean Murray spoke on Tem- perance and Mrs. Conner on Asso- ciate Helpers' Work. Mrs, Forster closed the • morning session with prayer, The afternoon session was opened by the ladies of the Ontario -Street, Clinton, leading in devotions. 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.

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 .- the three years there will be a 1, etronger church and she asked for prayers for the .'Evangelists, the na- tive leaders and for the non-Chris- tians. The Courtesy and Resolution committees brought in their reports. The exercise given by. the Con- stance Mission Band was delightfully given and much enjoyed, Mrs. Lane in a few beautiful words exhorting us to "Thank God and take courage" brought to a close a help- ful meeting.

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, Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personaliy by letter.

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.

Jewish History A Proof of Scripture Editor, News -Record: Sir: In these days of indifference and avowed unbelief in the truth of scripture, will it be amiss to look around for tangible proof of the same. Nothing gives better proof than the history of the Jews.
