The Twentp-fourth of Map
There is, we believe, some talk in
-public and political circles, of abol-
ishing the twenty-fourth of,, May as
a public holiday, and combining it
with the King's birthday which will
be celebrated on June 23rd.
That may meet with the approval
of some people, but it will be the peo-
ple of the very present and future
generations.
Of course• we are all loyal and ev-
er ready to celebrate the king's birth -
.day, but to the people who were born
a former generation or two ago, the
twenty-fourth of May, the Queen's
Birthday, is not just an ordinary
holiday.
,It is a tradition and pretty nearly
a sacred tradition at that, so they
are not going to have it abolished
without an argument.
It means too much to them for
that. . Associations from earliest
youth to old age have made the 24th
bone of their bone and flesh of their
flesh.
Older generations, would be will-
ing, if necessary-, to part with any
other holiday, or all holidays, but the
24th' of May is the 24th of May, and
there iso Oilier day quite like it.
And it was a beautiful day, was
the Queen's birthday this year. Per-
fect weather and everything green
and growing. One more perfect day
to be added to memory's ever green
store of other Queen's Birthdays.

The Leak in the British Budget
The supposed leak in the British
13udget, whereby a number -of brok-
ers and others are, alleged to have
profited to the extent of many thou-
sands of pounds, has brOught an
abrupt termination to the colorful
career of Hon. James Thomas, as a
statesman.
The leak in the budge(— if there
really was one, if not the first in Bri-
tain, is at least the first one known in
nearly a hundred years, and to the
British, even the hint of such a thing
could not be ignored, or even passed
over lightly.
To his credit, Mr. Thomas asked
himself for a judicial investigation
when rumor pointed in his direction
as the cause of the leak. And while
that investigation failed to bring
anything home to Mr. Thomas, the
mere suspicion of guilt onl his part
was enough to make him resign his
cabinet position of Secretary of the
Colonies, and to have his resigna-
tion accepted by Premier Baldwin.
Mr. Thomas first came into prom-
inence in British politics with the
Labor Government, and he came up
from the ranks of the workers, an
unusual experience f or. British
statesmen, •most, if not practically
all, of whom are educated from early
life with a political career in view.
Lacking the education and back-
• ground of his -fellow Cabinet minis-
: ters,'Mr. Thomas nevertheless had gt
strong following and exercised more
• or less influence in the country, so
_ that it is hard to see how he could.
Or would, even inadyertenly, have
• broken the pledge of secrecy which
- binds all cabinet ministers regarding
the items of the Budget with which
they necessarily must be conversant.
If Mr. Thomas is not guilty, cer-
tainly fatehas paid hint a very shab-
y trick. As public men go in old
'04try politics, ,he is a poor man.

ally established, it will alter his situ-,
ation very' little. The mere fact that
an investigation under such circum-
stances, was believed necessary in
his case, will, it is said, preclude
against his attaining cabinet rank
again. Political business is ser-
ious business in the 'British Isles.

Should' .Desperate Criminals
Be Paroled ?
The tragic happeningover the
week -end when a Sarnia policeman
was shot down in cold blood by •Red
Ryan, a notorious criminal, ' when
with a companion he attempted to
hold up the. Government liquor store
in Sarhia, gives rise to the query as
to whether parole or clemency
should ever be extended to a man,
possessing the . desperate •criminal
tendencies that Ryan had exhibited
since his early life.
Ryan, who was forty years of age
when he met death on Saturday, had
a police record extending back to his
eleventh Year. In 1912he was sen-
tenced to three years in Kingston
penitentiary, a sentence which was,
later reduced. The same year he
was also sentenced to twelve years,
the sentences to 'run concurrently..
In 1921-22 he was again sentenced
to the penitentiary, his last sentence
being twenty-five years, but in 1923
he made a sensational escape from
Kingston and a few days later held
up a Bank of Nova Scotia branch in
Toronto and escaped with over three
thousand dollars.
He was captured the same year in.
Minneapolis, and in 1924 was sen-
tenced to Kingston penitentiary for
life for armed robbery, and was still
serving that sentence in July of last
year, when he was 'paroled.
During his years at Kingston, Ry-
an became known as a model prison -
no trouble to the.He lave
authorities a,nd in the penitentiary
riots of a year or more ago, is said
to have exerted a strong .influence
with other prisoners, on the side of
the authorities, when the prison riots
occurred.
In all probability his., conduct at
that time, coupled with. his good re-
cord, had much to do with his parole
a little less than a year ago. At any
rate he was given his freedom.
What he has done since his free-
dom was given him is not on record,
but certainly he must have given
considerable of his time in plotting
the robbery in Sarnia, and perhaps
others, which have not yet been trac-
• ed to him. •
All of which raises the very pertin-
ont question of whether criminals
with life record of crime behind
them, should be paroled from our
prisons. Is it a fah; or ,a safe thing
for the general public tO' have - these
men turned out to mingle freely with
their fellows?
• There was a great deal of fuss and
• gush in the papers when Ryan was
released froth prison, just last July.
He was almost received with open
arms by public and press alike.' He
was one brand plucked from the
burning, and it was claimed' that
here was one criminal, at least, who
had seen the error of his ways, and
was ready and eager to make a fresh
start -in life.
Even religious organizations made
a great fuss over him- and his ser-
vices were much in demand as a
speaker because his text was always,
"It pays to go straight". He was us-
ed as a personal example to the
young. He was one speaker who
knew *hat he was talking about.
Well, perhaps he did, but he cer-
tainly did not profit by his know-
ledge. Nor did he lack for assistance
to help in rebulding his life. Kindly
disposed persons, members of parlia-
ment, senators and even a' prime
minister and a Minister of Justice
were behind him. He was given
steady work and a good job. All he
had to do was to go straight. -
But did he? Did he ever have any
intention of going straight? Appar-
ently not. Apparently from the very
day of his release he hunted upt his
old companions in crime and com-
menced to plot and plan his further
crime career, a career that ended
abruptly in. Sarnia on Saturday. - -
The Federal Government has re-
cently appointed a Royal CalliTliS-
810/I to go inti) the whole question of
prison manapment and the treat -
merit_ of criminals in our -penal insti-
tutions. A Commission that was

Lesson Topic—The Last Supper.:
Lesson Passagee—Luke 22:7-23.
Golden Text—Luke 22:19. '
The Lard's Supper is a distinctive-
ly Christian ordinance, Yet this re -
'cord -Shaves us that our Lord design-
ed to link it on to an ,observante with.
which His disciples were- already
familiar. Thus we read of His. send-
ing Peter arid JcEhn to make the nec-
essary prep-arations for the observ-
ance .of the Passover feast. The Place
was the guest -chamber of a friend in
Jerusalem. Each evening of that
week HL* and His diseiples had ,gone
out to Bethany for the last ma -al of
the day and then -spent the night on
the Mount of 'Olives', but this last ev-
ening—the last evening of peace and
rest in the company of His disciples
.-they suppe'd together in the upper
room of a friend's hoiuse.
"Then came the day tot unleavened
loiiirlelaeld: when the passever mut .be
"And He- sent Peter and John, say-
ing, do and prepne ve the passover,
that We. may „eat.
"And they said unto Him, Where
wilt Thole that we prepare?
• "And He said unto them, behold
when you areenteredinto 'the city,
there shall a man meet you, beariag-
a 'pitcher of 'water; follow )him into
the'house where he entereth in.
"And ye shall gay unto the good
men of the image, The Master smith

ber, where I shall eat the...passover
with my discipies?
"And he shall show you a large up_
Per robIn, furnished: • there -make
ready.
"And they went, and found' as He
had said, unto them: and they made
ready the passovier.
"And when the hour was come, he
sat down, and the twelve apostle -s
with' hien.
"And He said unto them., With de-
sire I have desired to eat this pass -
over with you before I suffer:
"For I say unto you, I will net any
more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled
in the kingdom of God. •
"And He took the cup, and gelv.e
thanks, and said, Take tihis, and div-
ide it am:ong yourselves:
"For I say unto you, I will not
drink of the fruit- of the vine, until
the kingdom of God shall cerne.
"And He took bread, and gave
thanks, and brake it, and gave unto
them, saying: This is my body -Which
is given for you: this do in remem-
brance of me.
"Likewise also the cup after sup-
per, saying This cup is the new testa-
ment in my blood, which is shed for
-you,
"But, behold the hand of him that
betrayeth Me is with Me on the table.
"And truly the Son of Man goeth,
as it was determined1; but woe unto
that may -by wham he is betra,yed.
'And they began to enquire among
therneelves, whkii-Of them it was that
should go this thing."
Thus did Jesus institute His oWn
memoriat And never since that
areinorable eveninig has; the church

passage makes His metalling plain.

"All ethatwe posses is given to us

he :Possess all, who has God for his

Let in make my p.o.int clear in this
way: When we go back to the direct
commands of (Cihrist and the practice
of the .first diseiplesnit is evident that
this sharing of -perishable po,sseetsions
went on side by side with sharing in
ibte Lord's Supper_ It marked our
Christiana as Christians. Even a
synical worldly-mincied man like Lu-
cian, the writer of satires,.....noticed
this peculiarity among Christians.
Therefore, when we seek to get back
to primitive and aposttolic Christian-
ity, can rwe altotgether push on one
sine this voluntary distribution of
"posses silo ris," ?
