Why is it that when a number of ministers •gather together and after talking ov- er some moral issue and decide to present their petition to the Govern- ment of the Province or of our Do- minion that they are considered a "bunch of "old fogies?." We all know what a. small amount of influence the ministers or members ••of the church have with the govern- ment of our land. In the majority of instances they might just as well not talk at all—they are just a bunch of "old fogies." Although the address wag direct- ed chiefly to ministers this article is not, but is meant for all those who Knave taken their vows to be a fol- lower of Christ. We can look back to our young days when the minister or elder, stately day. The vast majortiy of them are now in the Glory Land but the mem- ory of them will never die. It is not the right of those who are not in the active ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ to criticize •those who have taken vows to be under Shepherds of the Great Shepherd, but we as church members must beware lest we should be classed as "old fogies." In olden times when parents wish- ed to have their children baptised they looked well into the matter to see if they were qualified to become Christian Guardians of their child. They talked with the minister and re- ceived a list of the question to be answered. They studied over those questions and prayed over them and knew their responsibility when they presented their child to God, It was seldom that there was an unbaptis- ed child in 'the congregation.„ The would not speak to if they met them in civilian clothes. The men have the advantage in this but there is their side to it too. They are marrying in such a hurry that they do not even know one another. When the war is over and they have the opportunity of becoming acquainted there will be no home life for them. They will find that' they have made a terrible mis- take. Dc, not be in a hurry: The length of the war in all probabilty will be short in comparison to the life of the husband or wife. Jesus Cllrist .and his marriage laws are having a very small place in the marriage preparations of to -day. Fol- lowing a wedding recently at the din- ner which was served in one -of the city hotels, the father of the bride. who was a minister said. "Let us re- member that we have come from a sacred service. I would ask that ev- eryone refrain:from smoking or any- thing which is not in keeping with the solemn occasion." So many times today the religious part of the service is forgotten en- tirely. Can we expect Christ to be a guest in our home if we do not even ask Him to be present at our wedding. Why should we who are church members be called "fogies". A young man said to his mother not long ago we have in our business a man who is a church elder and mother he does many things whicli are not in keeping with his office at all. He is not only crooked in his dealings but he says many things which are not Christ like. Some of the men are saying "If that is Christianity I want none of it." What do you think of their stand? "Well, said his Christian mother. The elder is alone responsible for his ac- tions and the men cannot hide behind what he does. God will judge them by what they do themselves. There are many men and women holding office in our churches who are day after day cruicifying Christ men of God, called at our home. They symbol of infant baptism is beautiful afresh.

V Poultry Comfort Has Wide Meaning Whether the poultry house is per- manent or temporary, comfort for poultry is necessary at all times in order that the highest egg production may be obtained. So far as poultry are concerned, the meaning of the word comfort has a wide application and includes many essentials such as housing, insulation, ventilation, feed- ing, warmth, and the avoidance o3 overcrowding. In the matter of hous- ing the first principals are insulation and ventilation—insulation to con- serve the natural heat from the birds and ventilation to insure pure air and the removal •of excess moisture. A cold house is apt to be a damp house and poultry particularly require et degree of warmth in order to do well. The birds have a high body temper- ature of— 106 degrees— and an ac- companying rapid respiration. Much of the water they .drink—and clean fresh water is an important item —is exhaled from the lungs. Overcrowding is a common danger, and in the arrangement of the poultry house yearlings and pullets of differ- ent ages should be penned separately, While any room or outbuilding that is dry, tight -walled, and well -lighted can be adapted for poultry, the same care •has to be exercised as in any specially designed house. Windows of the house should face south. Pens of good depth are preferable, whether the house is of the two or three storey type or not. ClheSNAPSNOT GUILD INFORMAL PORTRAITS 21 for was used tobrighten reflector h A rb r ss ; Infsrmai Ln 'O G�NAPPTr�fG informal portraits Is i•- the of the most interesting and satisfying phases of photography. It is within range of the humblest camera. And for outdoor picture taking of this type, spring and sum- mer are ideal seasons. There are two requirements for an informal portrait. First, the person or persons pieturod must bb Season- ably large in the pictue. Second,. such subjects should not appear stiffly posed. Many amateurs' !rictuses violate both these rules. This is especially noticeable when the Motive shows two or more persons. Stiffness is quite unnecessary, be; cause it eau be promptly eliminated if you cooperate with your subjeets and give them something to do. Take OUT illustration as an example. It is posed, end yet not stiff at all. The photographer simply picked a 'suit- able spot,. hall his subject stand where he indicated, then asked the' man to look this way—and snapped his picture as soon as the,subject tweed his head. The picture is noteworthy also on a >!y• s fine a tills the shadow portions of two other points—viewpoint and lighting. By choosing a low' angle view- point the photographer was able with little or no tilting of the camera to obtain a sky background, the simplest and hest of all outdoor backgrounds. And, by using a me- dium yellow filter when he snapped the picture, be rendered this back- ground in a pleasing middle -gray tone, The lighting Is noteworthy be- cause it illustrates the advantage of using a refractor. A sheet of white cardboard was held just outside the 'camera range, so that light was re- flected up tinder the hat brim and into the shadows on the subject's face. If that had not been done, the 1 undoubtedly shadowsadotvs won d have been much darker, and the general effect far less pleasing. To summarize --if you want to make good informal outdoor por- •traits, work close' to your subject, 'avoid stiff poses, choose a simple background, and use' a reflector to brighten the shadow areas.
