dents. Later the departmental secre

Windsor, Miss -Bary Thompson of.
Friendship House, London, and Miss
Leonore Armstrong of Korea, Miss
Armstrong then gave a most interest-
ing account of her work. Of the
nineteen million people in that little

she stated. She said that in the mis-
sion hospitals the entire staff are
Christian and no patient leaves there
without having felt the influence of
the Christian atmosphere.

to sit down and see if we are civil-
ized. We make. the discovery that
in many ways we are pagan; we
spend our time in being amused like
fifteen -year -ol'd's, she said. Mrs. Mc-
Intosh said that God had set the
world in the heart of a` woman and
that . her job was not to be at ` the
head of things but rather to change
the atmosphere to one of love, which
e will remove all the things that are
e damaging the homes of. the world.
Too long has our religion been about
Jesus instead of one that is Jesus,
she said.

the afternoon session Mrs. McIntosh
gave a brief message that was a chal-

7 said that it is costly to love but we
nnis't learn that fine art. 1931 is the
most challenging year the world has
ever seen; facts must be faced. There
is no other way, site said, but to turn

House spoke on the work being don

ntong the new Canadian. She stress
ed the fact that only the love o
Christ can ever bring friendship be
tween the people of different nation
alities who in the old land were dead

peal that we teach our boys and girl
to consider these children of foreign
parents, .who are so anxious . to be
real Canarlians, as their, equals.
Ret -,D, N. McLachlan, secretary o
the Board of Evangelism and socia
service, brought a stirring message
He spoke of the troubled times in
which we are living and said that it
was desperation thatmade 'nen com-
munists arta that the great trouble in
the church to -day is ignorance. "A
constructive progratn mast he built
up and more time spent on serious
subjects," he stated, The youth of
the land will rebel against the liquortraffic and existing evils bot it is the
task of the older folk, he said, to give
thein guidance and teach them the
way of Jesus. Several reports from
various secretaries were given Wed-
nesday morning. Mrs. Gould, the
temperance secretary, deplored the
fact that only seventeen:out of over
three hundred and fifty auxiliaries re-
gularly studied temperance. She poin-
ted out that over a million dollars
goes out of the pockets of the Can-
adian people every week for strong
drink, and that there is a permit in
every second home. The plea was
made that every woman keep alive
to the times. The president, Mrs. W.
R. McIntosh, also spoke very earn-
estly on the subject. The action of
many charming women, mothers in
ovely homes, in serving liquor and
ffering cocktails to immature youths
2s deeoly deplored. The false idea
E social prestige has had much to do
kh the development of the liquor
affic, site said. The president urg-
d /everyone present to rrmember the

g with issues. The church has too
more missionaries. The news that
Miss Black of Windsor who , was
about to go on furlough, had broken
dawn because of overwork and is now
ill in St. Thomas, drove the need of
more helpers that those who are now
on the field may not be overdone.

A charming little speech was made
by Machiko Nasu of Tokio who sails
for her home in July after . spending,
,for
years at Alma College.
The fact that Christianity is the
only power equal to meeting the chal-
lenge of communism in the world to-
day was strongly placed by Dr. Batts
of Kobe College, Japan, who address-
ed the capacity audience \tiredne'sdav

was the Kingdom of God Movement
and the consecrated life of Dr. Ka-

An Oil that is Famous. -Though
Canada was not the birthplace of Dir.
Thomas' 'Eclectric Oil, it is the home
of that famous compound. !From
there its good name was spread to
Central and South 'America, the West
Indies, 'Australia and INe'w Zealand.
That is far afield enough to attest its
excellence, for in ail these countries
it is on sale and in demand.
Sow Thistle
'The fact that there is More cleared
land in Ontario than can be properly'
han'dle'd with the available labor, has
played a part in the spreading of sow
thistle and noxious weeds of ail kinds
to the great detriment of grain crops.
Mr, A, R. G. 'Smith, president of
the Field 'Crap Association, after
touring the western part of the pro-
vince' with the seed train and meeting
thousands of people, is led to suggest
that oats be replaced to some extent
with other grain that will help clean
the -land. Thin stands of oats and
late ripening sorts give a ch'an'ce ,for
many weeds, especially sow thistle, to
spread. ITn'apecrors report that it is
now 'found in every township in the
province.
1Mid'sutner plowing checks this weed
if weather conditions are at all favor-
able. !Seeding with buckwheat gives.
a smothering growth that will weak-
en if not kill the roots of the thistle.
It will also give a fairly profitable
return at prices now prevailing.
To Improve L- ivestock
Farmers in Simcoe County pur-
chasing a purebred sire for the firbt
time are to receive a bonus of 20 per
cent. of the purchase :price, and should
a group o'f farmers decide on a similar
purchase, they will receive a bonus
which will not exceed $100, The de-
cision to give this encouragement
was reached at a meeting of the re-
cently formed County Livestock Im-
provement Association. 'Stewart L.
Page, district representative, Stated
that the objective of the movement'
Was to raise the standard of livestock
in the county. 'Better bull campaigns,
will be conducted farmers encour-
aged to use boars of correct bacon
type; educational campaigns promot-
ed
to attain a more uniform type of
market hog, the use of purebred ram's:'
and general improvement of ail live-
stack, including horses. The Depart- i
meat will reimburse the local treasury
for bonus expenditures made to far-
mers for the purchase af high-grade
bulls. 'The intention is not to buy and
sell but to provide a livestock ex-
change where farmers may purchase„.

ance, after the seal of approval and
