serious results.

IIEPRVRN'S 'MISTAKE
T'rerdier
ISTAKE
Premier 'M.itdhell ' 'Hepburn has
made a serious 'in!stake'in'lffs attitude
towards the 'Lieutenant'Governor's
reception for the opening o'f'the "Leg-.
lslature. Admittedly Treader 'llep
burn made the abolition of Chorley
Park one of the :plan1 s'in 'his election'
platform, but the refusal of the
Premier and 'his cabinet to attend the
reception seems to urs to smack of
bad manners.
Premier Hepburn and his
'
Govern-
ment were elected on a policy
of ec-
'onomy. - We believe there should In?
to carry out that policy but we think
it a mistake to try to belittle the
status of the Ring's representative in
this province. When everything is
considered the unkeep expenses of
the residence of the Lieutenant -Gov-
ernor are not a serious matter. Can
ada and Ontario are proud of their
Imperial connection. The Ontario
Government would, in our opinion,
better serve the people of Ontario by
'regarding the position of Lieutenant-
.:Governor as one of which the people
are proud and cease the constant ef-
fort tomake the position as uncom-
fortable as possible for the inaum-
cent.--•+Kincardine Review -Reporter. •

Dancing at the Altar
To. The Editor, Clinton News Record:
Pray do not think the above title is
a mistake, it is the caption of an ar-
ticle that appeared in a recent issue
of a Toronto newspaper. Believing
that many, of your readers will 'be in-
terested in the substance of this 'ar-
ticle, I will, -with your permission,
quote a ,few excerpts from it, with
added comments..
The writer says, 'Puritan Boston
is going in for prayer -dancing and a
dance priestess on ,Sunday evenings.
I recently sat through a bare -fool;
dance service staged •by Eleanor
Schiemer in Union 'Congrega+tional
Church, a landmark in the South end
of Boston/',
"The setting with the choir in their
black gowns, mortar -board hats;.
White surplices, huge pipe, organ, the
severely gown -clad nrini.stee, gave no.
hint of the ,pantonine sermon in six
dances to, come."
"The slimauburn-haired+ young
claneer, with her unusual green eyes
shining in the •daa:kened ehurch, in-
terpreted verses by reremiah and a
scene from ,S'ophoeles in. Swaying
Parts on the candle -lighted chancel
floor, et times she swept down into
the aisles of the ehurch itself .."
What did the minister of this old
church expect'as the outcome of this
service? He is quoted as saying:
."I believe Miss Schiomer's inter-
pretation of religion in terms of the
dance will form a beattuiful and in-
spiring experience to the congrega-
tion." Apparently the outcome was
somewhat, different according to the
reporter who writes, "there was ap-
parent bewilderment plainly shown
on the faces of the older people,
while apparent smirks were evident
on the countenances of some of the
younger attendants."
The minister, knowing the value of
lighibing effects, added to the pro-
eeedings by the changing of lights.
First the centre lights were suddenly
entinguished, then the side ones.
Finally the huge electric candieabra
hanging over the chaneel was dim -
Med, then eliminated. Yellow side-
lights shone on the scene, while can-
dles spluttered their red wax oh the
carpet.
In the last of the six dances in the
darkened teatecept, "the g'owin slit
tii .the.:'knee with the dancer's white
leg shoeviag every now and. then, the
loosely flowing robes of yards and
yards of White clinging silks, the
long train hanging loosely from the,
shoulders, Miss Schiomer showed
plenty of ability in handling herself
and t'he yards of gown as she twisted,
and turned, and romped up 'and down
the ebaricel steps and out in the aisles
and across the front of the church?'
"The service ended ne benediction.
.—and the congregatiwn, made up of
many curious people .who wanted to
see a prayer dance, left the church,
A neighboring congregation, not to
be •outdone, engaged a Miss Thirney
'to give expression 'to 'their spiritual
emotions through the dance. 'This
young woman is endowed 'by nature
with willowy grate, anil•h'as the ideal
figure for interpretive dancing," ac-
centing to the news reporter. She
took up church -dancing some months
ago in- Chicago, where ihe was well
received by some far ionable church,
Your readers will•be interested in
the expression of some Toronto die
vines concerning this form ofchurch
service. The Rev. Dr. Dickson of the
Metropolitan United. Church is re-
ported as having said, "I am inclined
to think that our problems are so.
close to those 'of the United States
churches, that danding.might come to
Canada, as it has come to Boston. If
'it comes,' it will' coma to the larger
centres. I am out to fill my church,
churches are mantle be 'filled, while
my mind isopen 'to the prayer -dance
question, I am net ready to introduce
it.
'The Rev. Dr. 'Hardy Andrews,. of
Queen -Street, Beet, 'Presbyterian
church 'is quoted assaying, "People
nowadays want to go to church to
'be entertained, The peofile want ac-
tion. it 'is up to the dhurch'to find a
way to give it to them, if they want
the pews to be filled:"
When the Rev. Father Cline of
Holy 'Name Church was -invited '• to ex-
press his opinion on the question, he
replied, "A. ehureh :nefieh has re -
sores to stage dancing as a form of
religious servitee is itself in a state
of moral collapse, and is more named
of an oxygen tank than worshippers:"
Continuing lie said, "I feel that Cana-
dian church goers generally would be
greatly shocked et the intrusion of
the music hall into divine service.
Christianity is to be -a rule of life
and a plan of worship rather thana
stimulant of the five, senses, and an
annex of'Ma.mmen's playhouse.."
I am sure no reader need ask why
the introduction of the dance -prayer
service in the Western States, and
now being introduced to the Eastern
States, while in Toronto one leading
divine says hie has an open mind on
the subject, and it may come to Can-
ada, but he will not introduce it into
his church. However, let some one
else introduce it, and as it is his job
to fill the pews, he will see to the
dance question later. Another church;
leader says, the people, , wantto be
entertained if,we are to fill the pews.
He practically says, he is- not„oppose$
to the introduction of the dance ser-
vice into the ,church., In short, the

YOUR WORLD AND
by JOHN C. KIRKWOOD
(Copyright)
Among the books which you may
have read or which you plan to read
is "The Way of All Flesh, by Sam-
uel Butler. I have just finished read-
ing it. " I have'seen it i.'econunended
a- hundred times or more, and had
formed the impression that it was a
"naughty" book. It' is anything but
that, It is about an English'Chur•cli
clergyman, and in particular, -about
his son. The father is a despicable
creature. He paraded his virtues,
which very decidedly were not vir-
tues_. He was severe, mean, cruel,
and a prig. One thing which stop-
ped me to reflect, was the observa-
tion that preachers are in their own
homes mere than are other men in
employment. The great majority of
men go away from their homes to
their work. -Preachers—except in
the case of large institutional chur-
ches-have their "study" in their own
home. I 'think that the author de-
clared that this eireumstanee is apt
to be bad for all concerned --the wife
and mother, the children, and the
preacher himself. it is something
that I am not going to ponder over.
'ih'*4!
Wlhat has led me to refer to But-
ler's' very famous book and to the
clergyman about whom it tells is the
presence on my table of another book,
bearing the title, "The Making of a
Man—Letters from An Old Parson to
His Sons." The book has a foreword
by Beverley Nichols, and it was this
widely read, anther's foreword which
made me interested in the Old Par-
son's book. What sot of counsels
dens this old parson give to his sons?'
Is he a better father than the one of
whorl Butler wrote?
You see; I air a father, with a son
—not sons: I have written letters to
my son—letters of counsel. And' far.
,more than to my son S have written
letters to young men giving them ad-
Vice. So I am curious to see what
sort of advice is given to young men
by one whose letters have been made
into a .book and have been deemed
good enough by Beverley Nichols to
have his 'recommendation.
I am 'not very sure that young men
like to be preached at and to, and
to be told how to live. In my own
case, I used todevour advice, I sat
at the feet --figuratively speaking-
of a great lover and counsellor of
youth—Dr. H. Clay Trumbull, who in
'the 8q's and 90's of last century was
the peerless editor of the "Sunday
School Times." I wrote letters to
Dr. Trumbull and had letters—prized
ones from him. I have a set of
books of his authorship, some of
whose titles' are "Oharacter-Shaping
and Character -Making," "Practical.
Paradoxes," ' "Seeing and Being,"
"Aspirations and Influences."' These
books are precious to me. I became
their possessor 45 years ago, and I
Iike still to go to them for their coup-
sels.
And there as published in the 90's
of las centur Elbert a
'
t
);bo Hubb ids "A
Message to Gareia."--a counsel, to
young men. This Message has been
made into booklets in many countries.
and literally many millions of copies
have, been bought by young Hien who;
have feI't the need of stimulation,

MINE
son says about friendship:
Certainly no one knows the
best of life who hasn't known
real friendship. Besides the
happiness which it gives, its the
only school in which to learn hu-
man nature and to cultivate the
qualities by which the can have
the right relations with our fel-
lowmen. . , Don't confuse • ac-
quaintance with friendship. ,
Friendship begins when the char-
acter of the person becomes more
important to you than his pleas-
ant gifts—when above all our
attachment to the person makes
ns want to give rather than to
get in our relation to, him;.
Acquaintance can be selfish, but
love must he unselfish.
The finest treatise on friendship is
"Friendship, the Master Passion," by
13. Clay Trumbull -e, rather unknown
book. I got a eopy when it was pub
lished and I cling to it as I have not
+clung to gold. Friendships are the
solace and jay of advancing. age. I
counsel young people to . cultivate
their present friendships. The happy
thing is thattas we grow older our
capacity for friendship enlarges and
that we can form new friendships
which are fine and enduring.
I continue to believe that youth
wants guidance—that for every head-
strong, wayward, haughty, self-willed
youth Who despises and rejects good
counsel, there are ten who are of
humble spirit, willing to learn, eager
to be guided, and hungry for the right
sot of counsel. So let us look at the
book, "The Making of a Man,' '
I see that its writer praises highly
"John Halifax, Gentleman,” a book
that gave ..me great delight and in-
spiration when I read it in youthful
years --a book' rather old-fashioned
now, but still a book worth, reading
and absorbing by lads in their teens.
The old parson, as you might ex-
pect—thinks that old ways and old
times were just about perfect. Thus
is
he says:
The old standards had their
good points. They produced ad-
mirable public men and a stand-
ard of public +life whose purity
won the admiration of the world.
But the best thing they ingrained
in us was the idea, that we
could not respectourselves un-
less we did our job, whatever it
might be, or whatever class we
might belong to, as well as we
'knew how. 1t is the loss of this •
Which has left yen so <muehat
sea,
The parson's sons were good
writers, and so he :bids them,—
Prepare yourselves to write by
learning to think. Train your
mind to rythm .by reading. Cor-
rect faults, but 'write and write
and write, freely and naturally,
and a style will come. No one
but a pedant wants correct style
according to pattern.
I suppose that many of nay readers
have the writer's itch, and possibly
some of nilly. `readers are still appren-
tices as writers. They, may find in
the above advice; something"helpful
- find myself liking what the par-
* * ali
Whether or not the parson's book
"The Master of a Man," will make
you praise it is net very important.
Wihat is important is the idea,con-
tained in the book's title. Each of'
us is forever making himself. And. I
suppose, too, that each of us helps
to make others. The other day I
had to pass a man who stood too close
to the door to permit my passing him
without brushing up against him. I
stumbled over his foot. I 'said, "I'm
sorry" using the conventional Eng-
lish. expression. I was astonished
when he broke out with—"J-<—e
O ---s! Can't you see where you are
going?" This man's face was coarse.
He had a bitter nature. IIe carried
a ship on his shoulder. Hewas a
badly made man—and it is possible
that he was made badly and bad by
others, and he may have been a very
willing contributor to his faulty mak-
ing.
Whether or not ethers are percep-
tive of what we are doing or what we
have accomplished in the making of
ourselves doesn't matter' a great deal.
What does matter is that we make
ourselves truly fine in thought, 'man-
ners, ideals, purpose, character. Be-
cause of our fleshly nature, we have
to fight and subdue and train the ani-
mal in us. If we can shape ourselves
in all our attributes and ways, in
conformity with perfedt examples, we
do well,
I close this contribution to The
News -Record by directing my: readers
to look up the story in Hawthor ne's
Tales bearing title "The Great Stone
Face." This story -very .beautiful
will surely be an incentive to its read-
ers to live nobly. It tells how one
pure -minded aspiring youth, and man
made himself kingly -by thinking
and striving always IoftiIy,

Don t Forget Snapshots at Night ti
A few inexpensive photoflood Iampe are all you need for Indoor pictured
at night. Diagram (right) .shows' proper placing of lamps for picture.
'(left). Diaphragm opening, f 6.3; shutter speed 1/25 of a second.
A LTHO UGH you may not be oho
Li of those lovers of the great out-
doors and prefer the warmth of the
old fireplace or furnace these cold,
damp wintry evenings, there is no
reason why you should not enioy
your camera, forit is always ready
for action in or outdoors—an all-
weather friend. •
Time passes quickly and before
we realize where the days and weeks
have gone the air begins to get a
little balmy and we are thinking of
the garden, the yard or those pleas•
ant drives in the car after dinner,
The next three months, however,
are ideal for snapshots at night in
the house and if you have not al-
ready experienced the pleasure of
this fascinating pastime you have
certainly missed a lot of fun and
failed to "follow through", on your
amateur photographic knowledge.
The "heyhey-hi-de-ho" days of
youth are the ones we always re-
member and as snapshots at night
are so easy to take why not start in
right now and make picture records
of the many happy winter evenings
at home, All you need are three or
four photoflood lamps for brilliant
illumination and a camera with an
1.6.3 dens, or faster. Photoflood lamps
cost only twenty ftve cents each and
as they are good for two hours of
picture taking, the cost per picture
is negligible. For the best results
you should use the modern super
sensitive panchromatic film. It is
availabde in all standard sizes.
Let's suppose that Mary and you
are entertaining Betty and Jack and
everybody is as happy as the four-
some above seem to be. Let's make
a snapshot at night of your party.
The diagram indicates the relative
placing of the subject, lights and
camera for this particular group.
For a different setting you can place
the lamps accordingly.
After you have Iocated the group
in the finder and the camera is set,
place an ordinary door lamp, with.
the shade tilted upward, at position:
"A" as close to the subject as poser
sable but out of the range of your,'
finder. Lamp' "A" should have flock-•
eta for three photoflood lamps. Two
will do if you can have the lamp•
within three or four feet of your sub-
ject. (The light intensity increases.
as you place the lights closer to the'
subject and decreases when farther-
away.) Two photoflood lamps should:
be placed in lamp "B." Where shades.
on home lamps cannot be tipped for.
directing light on the subject, re-
move the shade. In such eases, some
sort of reflector bade of the lamps.
will throw more light forward. A
white cardboard, a pillow case, or
even a bright dishpan held directly
behind the lights will help.
Set the diaphragm at1.6.3, If your
camera is equipped with a self -timer,.
set the strutter speed at 1/25th of a.
second, turn on your photoflood
lamps, take your position in the
group and--click—it has made a
snapshot at night for yoU.
If you have a box camera you had
better use a photoflash lamp (not to
be confused with photoflood lamps).
Here's what you do. Place the floor
lamp slightly back of and a little to
the right or left of the camera. Re-
move the shade and screw the photo*
flash lamp into one of the sockets --
and be sure the current is "off." As-
suming you have located the group.
or subject, in the finder, open the
shutter its you would for a time ex-
posure and immediately turn on the
photoflash lamp and after the flash
of the lamp close the shutter at
once.
Simple enough, isn't it?
The possibilities for indoor picture
taking are endless and you are miss-
ing a lot of fun—and fascinating pic-
tures—until you try it.

ter quoted ,652," ran an item• in a
weekly letter sent out by W'. A.
Meeks, manager of the Typbthetae of
Philadelphia. Inc. "The buyer asked:
'Can you make a profit at that figure ?'
The printer answered: `No, I can't
make my .actual cost at that figure.'
Tho buyer said: 'Whiff, make t'he prize
$01..50." The printer almost fainted.
This was something new.
"The buyer continued: 'I am firm-
ly convinced that busienss will never
be tivhat it should be until every, le-
gitimate firm is making a profit on
its sales. I have made up my nmind
that I will do no more 'chiseling.' If
the other fellow makes a profit in his
business he can afford to buy more
goods from me --and pay for them;
!From now on I expect those frons
1 whom I buy to make •a profit, That
is my way of helping to bring back
prosperity."
This experience actually happened
;to one of the members of the Typo-
thetae of Philadelphia, says The Sal-
mon Aran Observer. The only thing
that has been changedis -the e figures,
but the difference in the prices quot-
ed is exactly the same percentage of
difference as in the original figure*
is this man sane. Is his thinking
right? • You can buy and sell at cow-
er than cost prices, but even then
the buyer can hope for only a 'tele-
porary gain. Eventually his act will
come back to him, because somehow..
"chickens come home to roost." �.
