.How • would yea' like to 'work one
of those long day in the hay field
or in the mow, and do it on three
meals?
Or if it turned Cold when the sup
went down, haw would you feel when
you woke up in that twenty day off
morning?
How would the women like to
crowd twenty days baking and house-
work into one? There wouldn't be
very much time for gossip or bridge,
would there?
How would you like one of those
'Venue sdhool dazes, (boys, :or how
many of you men would go to church
oar one of those kind of Sundays?
And. th'e nights. How would you
like to buy and stoke enough wood
or coal to keep the house warm on
one of those' winter nights, and how
would you like to carry out the ash-
es in the morning?
Or if the baby had the colic for
one of those twenty day nights, how
would you feel in the morning?
The field of conjecture is unlimit-
ed, but we think we have pointed out
enough to convince thetaverage per-
son
etson that this old world of ours is not
such a bad place to live in after all.
At least it Haight be worse—very
much worse.
'Iru fact' we are very much inclined
to the opinion of the old lady who
said the world was all right. It was
just the people in it.
Be Careful
- Eleven drownings and three traf-
fic fatalities weee reported over tho
past week end by the daily press,
and the bathing and heavy holiday
traffic season is only con-mencing.
Last year 571 people were kille i
by motor vehicles in Ontario; 341
(people lost their lives by drowning
and there were 204 deaths caused by
falls.
That makes a total of 1,738 lives
that were snuffed out by what might
correctly be called prevtentablc acci-
dents, or what in plain speech would be
called carelessness or recklessness.
What the total will' be this year,
of course, remains in the lap of the
gods, but judging by the fatalities
already reported, it will contain a
greater rather than a lesser number,
unless people hie prepared to give
greater thought and consideration to
this matter.
In a few days the schools will b;
closed for` the holidays and thous-
ands of children will be free, too
mane -of them, to roam at their owe
_.
sweet will. Will anything serious
happen to them?
Surely it will, unless the parent
and older people force into their
minds the absolute necessity of be-
ing careful on the streets, on the
roads, 'at the swimming hole and at
other places dear to the heart of
childhood.

Premie: s and Religion
(By Commander Locker-Lanrpson,
M.P:, in London Evening News.)
I was with Mr. Bonar Law when
he became head of his party, and I
shall not 'readily forget his visit to
the Presbyterian church in Pont St.
the following Sunday in pious pil-
grimage.
I had the privilege of staying with
Arthur Balfour at.. his home in Whi'.-
tingehame, and what . a revelation
was his faithful refusal ever to fail
the. little' kirk on the Sabbath; in
company with his' sister, and four
nieces; and he told me that he was
a communicant in both the parish
church 'and the English one.
I travelled with Lloyd George
But all the fatalities will not fall through Switzerlapd when he, was
among the children, and :very few
will really be !caused by thee,n`: One
earl rest assured of that fact.
What about the man or the wo-
man who drives at thirty or forty
Miles an hour on the streets of a
';:town, or at something approaching
double that speed on the' roads and
highways leading to and from these
towns? Are they trying to ,prevent
accidents'or have they even a thought
of -danger in their niiirds? •
Contrary to a very general belief
it isn't always the other fellow who
. es inviting an • accident. Accidents
"have.a way of happening in all plac-
es, not' just in one, and there is no
one causefor them, but many.
- If taking a little more time and
being a little more careful would
help to reduce this amazing total r_
"preventable accidents, is it not the
duty of every man and every woman
to give this time and care?
And He Was a Cabinet
Minister !
Two years ago the Hon. 1Peter
Heenan was Minister of Labor ,n
the Mackenzie King Government. He
was a Canadian Cabinet Minister.
. But that was two years ago, and
times and Governments have chang-
ed. M. Heenan is no longer a mem •
ber of the Government, and while,
to he sure. he is still a member of
parliament, that is a long way down
the ladder from being a Cabinet Min-
ister.
We hope for a speedy recovery.

the foremost statesman of the world,
a Colossus bestriding Europe. •At
every station crowds collected, and
the mighty of. the land rushed forth
to welcome a portent who just wore

black "tails," and off we would go
to our devotions in the nearest con-
venticle; and "L. G." could repeal
most of the sermon afterwards.
