The reason for the de- lay is that although cracks in the towers and naves of Lincoln Cathedral are believed by engineers to be due' to the earthquake of seven centuries ago, they were not actually discovered to be serious until just before the wax, Soot t after the armistice an effort was made to collect 250,000 to repair the eathedral.

Though a man's'mind, it was said long ago, may tell him more than seven wise men in a tower, there is a fnystery to us all in the workings of that mind. ' When we say that we have a hard time snaking up our minds, what does it mean? It means we weigh plus and "minus,^pro and con, es Robinson .Crusoe did when he was trying to decide if he was glad or sorry that he; was alive. We admire decision of character; we applaud time() who reach a conclusion, and are prompt to act upon it,'. But thereis nothing admirable in the procedure of those who do not wait to learn the facts before they come to a• conclusion. A prompt decision may be wzong; it does not follow that it is ' correct merelybecause it is instantaneous. What is the use of swift thinking if it is erroneous thinking? Why should a,fnan receive credit for rapid mental processes when the° processes are fundamentally unsound? Itwill pot de to avoid errors of judgment by evading all responsibility and shifting the burden of decision to others forever. Sooner or later we must make up our minds, Life is a series of choices and chances accepted or refused. We look: back and we mourn in vain that at a certain di- viding of the pathway we went to the right instead of the left or vice versa, But if we could go back and, retrace Charlottc%own P:z t to the Ametic an Consniat a h9ye there were ,2,600•<sllver foxes „Shipped; during 1928 from Prince Edward Is- land to Ar eiean points.
