To the above question, every per son has his or her answer. Numbers of people could give au eresting land edifying answer. Pleclominaling numblors do take the clrureh, and what the church stands for, seriously. For this one is truly thankful. In the early Christian centuries the Church stood for. Christ's interests. Apostles, evangelists, deacons and laymen were united in a common goal. viz., to nuke Christ known. At the centre of the church, in the minds and affections of the people was the consciousness of a King -•- a Redeemer -- a Saviour who could save from sin. It was this inborn conviction regarding the reality of Christ's life and death, regarding His resurrection, ascension, and the sub- sequent descent of the Holy Spirit, this conviction that filled them to overflowing and sent them forth as dress stated he could conceive of no higher office than that of allowing men to engage in humanitarian effort, and concluded with the hope, "May you continue_ to be a blessing to your day and generation."

J. T. Phair, of the Ontario De - pertinent of Health, advised that serious consideration would be given to the suggestion by Huron county council that penicillin be ad- ministered gratuitously. He pointed out that "at the moment, as you are no doubt aware, penicillin is very limited in its availability. . .
