True it is that the roads they must travel may be long and tortuous with death and danger lurking at every turn. The going may be slow and tough but, with steady though heavy step, our men will trudge every mile with grim determination, yet with inspired en- thusiasm—for Victory is in sight. To make easier and shorter the way for these, our gallant fighting men, is the part and privilege granted those who remain behind. That we may encourage them and lighten their task by our unstinted efforts to speed the needed equipment. That we may by our self- denial make available the monies needed to assure their superiority in air, sea and land. Thus shall we make smoother the ways, and shorten the days, towards the triumphal entry of our fighting men into Rome, Berlin and Tokyo.

Go early to church—not only to be punctual, but be in your place be- fore the hour announced for service to begin. 2. Go in a reverent spirit. On the way, remember whither you go. Avoid lightness of manner and conversation on worldly topics. 3. Before you enter, or as you en- ter, breathe a silent prayer of invo- cation for the presence of the Holy Spirit. 4. As you. take your place, bow your head reverently in prayer, for yourself, and all others who enter the sanctuary. 5. Resolve that you will foster no thought, fix your eyes on no object utter no word that will tend to divert your mind from the holy purpose for which you should come into this place. 6. As the minister enters the pulpit offer an earnest, silent prayer in his behalf. 7. In all the services, take an active part as a worshipper. 8. At the close of the service, after a moment of prayerful silence, greet with cheerfulness and goodwill all whom you meet, remembering Christ- ian fellowship is a part of Clrristiaa worship " —,Bishop Vincent, v Soybeans produced in Manitoba and Alberta under somewhat drier condi- tions appear to have a tendency for' slightly higher protein and lower oil content than soybeans produced in otherprovinceswhere the moisture supply is normally more abundant.
