King and Queen to .Visit Canada
-Announcement was made over
'the week -end that King George VI
and Queen Elizabeth, would visit
Canada in the early summer months
of next year and spend three weeks
in this country.
That is news that will please eTr-
ery Canadian, and their Majesties
will be assured of a -loyal and en-
thusiastic
nthusia'stic welcome.
King George, as Prince, has• al-
ready , visited Canada, but this will
be Queen Elizabeth's first visit. This
is the first time that Canada has
been honored key a visit from the
Reigning Sovereign and the occasion
will be made even more momentous
by the presence of the Queen.

.Thanksgiving
For well over sixty years there
has been one day of each year that
Canada called Thanksgiving Day. It
was not always on, the same date,
nor always in the same month, but
always at the same season of the
year—after harvest.
The observance of Thanksgiving
is not a world wide, but rather an
American custom. And, by and
large, the people on the North
American continent, and particular-
ly the Canadian part of it, would be
a queer people if they failed to give
thanks, at least once a year, to the
Creator of all 'things, for the favors
and bounties He has showered ;down
upon the country and the Canadian
people_ •
On Monday last we observed our
Thanksgiving for this year, and no
.day could have beci re fitting to
recall to our min l That a favored.,
people we are, and to whom we owe
¢,hose favors.
No painter could paint, no archi-
tect could plan and no builder could
build a world as beautiful as was the
world that day — our National
Thanksgiving Day.
Sometimes this part of this world
of ours seems hard to us; sometimes
it seems that there is nothing but
hardness in it. But we know that is
not true because we only have to
look such a little distance beyond to
see much harder spots.
We are not all favored alike. Some
seem to have so much of this world's
goods, so many things to be thank-
ful for; some seem to have so little.
But it has been very noticeable down
through time that the most thankful
people are not those who have the
most, but rathel" those who have the
least.
Right in this part of our country
we are neither rich • nor poor. We
are all pretty much alike. For that
alone we should be thankful_ We
have had a good seed time, a good
growing time, a bounteous harvest.
There is food in plenty for man and
beast. For that we should be thank-
ful too. It is not that way all over
Canada, but it so much worse in so
many places beyond, our boundaries.
But' no . matter 'what our status in
life; no matter how hard our lot may
have appeared to us, there is one
cause for thankfulness that has
come to us in the past few weeks,
and that we all have common—we
have escaped war.

Farming Fiftp Years Ago
We were talking to a farmer the
other day and we were a little sur-
prised to -hear hirci say that" farm
conditions and farming fifty years
ago were much more preferable and
l much better paying proposition
an ;they are to -day.
we pointed out that life on
tears -'ago was rather an
ego (e gad laborious exr.
lace with .life' bn a farm
telejihoxie had
ri
nm.
brought his farthest neighbors , and
friends next door to him; that the
j daily paper and the radio had
brought the outside world to his
home; that the automobile had abol-
ished distance and enabled hen to
travel and that modern machinery
and hydro had wonderfully lighten-
ed farm work.
But, he claimed, the telephone, the
radio, the auto and all the rest had'
really taken more out of the farm-
er's life than they had brought to
him. That, in a measure, these
things had robbed him of his iniative
and his independence. Neighbor did
not mean what neighbor .used to
mean. Seeing the outside world, at
first hand, had taught him discon-
tent and even covetousness. The
automobile had. taken him every-
where but over his own farm. And
his own farm was beginning to pine
away from loneliness and from the
need of a strong and friendly guid-
ing hand.
And, looking over the country and
over the number of cars on the con-
cession roads, and the country cars
in the towns and cities, there might
be something in that farmer's con-
tention. A car should be of more
use to a farmer thany any one else,,
unless it be a doctor.
The use of a car has never hurt a
farm or a farmer.- But the abuse of
the car has hurts. far too many of
both. When a rainy summer day, or
a rainy day In the spring or fall,,
brings the choice of the use of a hoe
or a car, the car wins out every time.
At least that is the situation as this
farmer sees it.
And, what about the money end of
the farm. Or is there such a thing
as money end to farming to -day?
This farmer said not. And he 'quot-
ed prices, and to make sure we look-
ed them up in the files of The Expos-
itor of fifty years ago. •
And this was what we found_
Wheat was selling then at $1.18 a
bushel; oats at 35c; barley at 73c,
and hay at $15 per ton. That was
pretty good. And what was still bet-
ter, the farmer claims, there was a
market in that day for all these
things.
When a farmer needed some ready
money all he had to do was to go to --
the barn, load up a, wagon or sleigh
with wheat, oats, barley, or hay, and
take that load into town, where half
a dozen buyers were waiting to wel-
come hire- with the cash.
The situ4tion is different to -day. A
farmer wo ld have to wait some time
in any town before a , buyer ap-
proached him who was willing to buy
a load of any of these things. In
fact a farmer would not know where
to look for such a buyer.
There were many more things
that this farmer told us about the
difference between fifty years ago
and to -day, and one of these was
about credit. And he was honest
about it too. He said the farmer
and no one else was responsible for
the lack of farm credit to -day. -
Fifty years ago a farmer's note
was as good as cash, even an auc-
tion `sale note. A farmer never
bought anything for himself, his
family or his farm that he did not
intend to pay for, if at the time he
did not have the cash to make tl
purchase. Buying always meant an
obligation to pay.
Now, we were told, there are
° farmers, hundreds of them who will
buy anything, anywhere, from any
one who will trust 'them, without
having the remotest intention of ev-
er paying for their purchases. That,
he claims, is where the farmer's
credit has gone, and until there is a
change of heart and a return to the
rugged honesty of pioneer farming ,
days, he does not see much financial
hope for the farmer.
It is not ,a very pleasant picture
for •this so ' called enlightened day,
nor is it one of cur painting, but at
that it might be worth a little study
and attention. -

o, (By Harry J Boyle) o. •
"TREE ROOSTING"
Science has • made great improve-
ments in giving hens and chickens
scientific surroundings, but the chick-
en is a pe;t;verse creature, who per-
sists in patronizing the great out-
doors. No matter how attractive- you
make a chicken house, they seem to
enjoy causing no end of trouble and
worry.
Biddy, our little red hen, is the
most persistent offender. Eacai year
sheraises a brood of chickens and
for some time is faithful in her du-
ties of having them within the con-
fines of the coop. Then, as the sea-
son progresses, and it comes closer. to.
Fall, she begins to yearn once more
for a roost in one of the apple trees
in the orchard. I suppose at that
time she delivers an impassioned
speech on the benefits of outdoor
sleeping and one night w -ben we go
out, it's to find that all are roosting
blissfully in the apple trees.
This goes on for some time, and
little attention is paid to it. Then the
warning goes around that one of the
Lazy Meadows family has seen a
weasel or some other destructive an-
imal with 'a sweet tooth for a chick-
en, and the Missus declares on a par-
ticularly cold and bitter Fall evening
"Phil, either you go out and gather
those chickens in off that 'roost, or
you'll pay me for every one that gets
lost."
Bitterly complaining, boots are pull-
ed on, a sack is found and the lantern
lighted. Then to sally forth in search
of the erring •fowl. You approach the
orchard with gentle footsteps and
muflled bitterness as you trip on a
piece of wire or a half -hidden fallen.
limb. And there in drowsy complac-
ency are the chickens, completely un-
aware of the trouble they are start-
ing and seemingly enjoying the great
outdoors.
The stickler is that they always
seem to be too far from the ground
to reach to with your hand. A chick-
en coop is dragged up, and' so the
contortions start. You may well im-
agine the results when a person trys
to balance on a coop that's slippery
with dew, while balancing a lantern,
a sack and trying valiantly to hang
onto a small swaying limb.
Just as you have bagged the first
chieken the others blink drowsily at
you, and then come to life in a start-
led way. They squawk in, their loud-
est style, the back of your hand comes
in contact with the hot top of the
lantern; your foot slips on the coop
and you drop everything.in a desper-
ate effort to hold your stance.
It's one of -the most harrowing ex-
periences known, this gathering of
truant chickens. Just about the time
you have bagged. six or seven, you
have to drop the bag and several slip
out of the bag, to squat in the grass
in a game of hide and seek. After
you have them all . . . at least
you're sure that's all . . . locked
up in the coop, the Miasus appears
to ask how many you have. Sure as
Fate, you have missed one.
Thus the great chicken hunt is on.
By the flickering rays of the lantern
you try and discern a form that looks
like a straying crhicken, but the
search is hopeless. You cover the or-
chard- with a fine tooth comb and
then at last when you almost give
up in " eseration•, the chicken is
found o higher branch of the same
tree where the others were.
At last they are all safely tucked
into the coop and securely locked up.
You go to bed for a troubled night's
sleep, during which an enormous
chicken is running •you down and
chases you around so much that you
flare worn out the next morning.
At dinnertime' the Missus relates
how the neighbors had chickens
killed last night. You look like a
cherubim as you exclaim.: "I had a
great. idea when I brought those
chickens in last night!" And you
wonder why your wife looks at you
so strangely!

We Have no Right to Peace
® (By B. K. Sandwell in Saturday Night) 9
For the greater -part of the twenty
years whl?h have elapsed since 1918,
the English-speaking democracies all
over the world have been deluding
themselves with the belief that war
was no longer a thing that bad to be
taken into consideration. If they had
at the same time been conducting
their policies, both internal and exter-
nal, upon lines which were calculated
to remove the causes of war, this de-
lusion' would have been less danger-
ous. But as we all know, they—ir;,
eluding Canada — have been doing
nothing of the kind, They have from
time to time, it is true, entered' into
certain pacts for the purpose of pro-
tecting one another's existing bound-
aries, as if that were all that is nec-
essary for the preservation of peace;
and even while entering into theQse
pacts, they have tacitly, and somhe-
times openly, attached reservations to
them which made them valueless. But
they have also maintained extreme
nationalistic policies in regard to
trade and immigration, thus closing
the natural safety -valve which per-
mits of the adjustment of the vary-
ing pressures of poplulation upon dif-
ferent parts of the earth's surface.
When these policies led, to a world-
wide depression they redoubled their
nationalistic efforts in the hope of
throwing as much as possible of the
consequences of that depression upon
one another and upon outside nations.
If it is permissible, without irrever-
ence to speculate concerning the judg-
ments of the Almighty, we may sure-
ly conclude that at this moment the
English speaking' democracies are in
His eyes no more ntitld to th biasing
His eyes no more entitled to the
blessings of peace than the immoral
and aggressive autocracies *hose
growth has been largely the result of
their own actions. At any rate they
can no longer count upon those bless-
ings with any assurance.
Chastening the Nation
The necessity of facing the possi-
bility of •war is on -e of the most chas-
tening influences that can be brought
to bear upon the life of a nation. The
refusal to face that necessity is bound'
to lead to grave moral weaknesses.
In Canada there is already percept-
ible a'distinct strengthening of moral
fibre as; a result of the perilous posi-
tion id -which the whole world has
found itself during recent weeks. And
in this country, the pressure of im-
minent peril is almost negligible com-
pared with what it is in England,
whose people must face, the, practical
certainty of devastating" air raids' ov-
er the Moet • sensitive parts of their
territory., But in 'both countrieso,,tJie
process of moral regeneration has a
long way yet to go. We in Canada
have been reading for ' a week past
the demands of politicians and of
newspapers, op *,sed to the presient
-Orate rntlnent of the I minion for a
etatenieitt of :Malloy froth that Govern-
•4 t
ment, which if it were granted too
soon might easily divide rather than
unify the efforts, of the country. But
we have not yet read any demands
for the organization of the country
for the purpose of achieving those
sacrifices which would tend to make
it more effective whenever it does
have to go to war to carry out its
policy and to defend the common in-
terests of all the democracies.
The British in this respect are far
ahead of us, and even they are not
far advanced enough. The crucial
element in the belligerent situation of
Great Britain is that which relates to
defence against air raids. This is an
element which cannot be left to a
navy, however great and powerful,
nor to a small professional army. The
problem of air raid 'precautions, as
The Round Table expresses it this
month, "puts democracy on trial."
Nothing can be done about it without
the organized, loyal and intelligent
co-operation of the great masses of
the population. It .is only within the
last few months that there has been
e"en a faint hope of securing in Great
Britain have dared to tell the people
the unpalatable truth concerning their
real position and to call upon them
for the sacrifices that are needed. To-
day the truths are being told and
there is fair reason to believe that
the co-operation will be forthcoming;
hut it is clear that even yet Great
Brit in's state of defence is far from
satisfactory, and as a result small na-
tions in many parts of the world,
hieh have been compelled into. dev-
ious policies to keep themselves from
being crushed by one or other of the
great autocracies, can do no' more
than look a year or so into the future
and hope that by that time democracy
as a political system will not be too'
apathetic to n survive in a world of
strife. •
War Not Abolished
It is true that modern war is. a
terrible thing, . It may be true that
it could be abelished, but we have not
yet found out how. The Communists
claim that Communism would abolish
it, if Communism could be made uni-
verlial, and they are, certainly striv-
ing hard enough - to make Communism
universal; but they have already be-
gun to split into different seets over
the question of what sort of Com-
munism should be made universal.
The late President Wilson believed
that war could be abolished by a
League of Nations: and "possibly if a
Leagae of Nations could have been
made universal it might have been
abolis-hed,, but President Wilson could
sot get even his own nation lnto the
•l aague. The Americans who refused
to, follow their,- President into the
League thought that, War could be
abolished by getting nations to sign

Dear 'Sbr:
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
wind's breath, `
And stars -to set -but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
0 Death!
My dear sister wanted me to re-
member all those friends who helped:
her in her last agony, such as' nurses,
doctor and neighbors, with special
mention of cher pastor, Rev. H. V.
Workman, of the United Church, who
strengthened 'her • during her brief
struggle. "Alone, but not alone."
The nurses, Miss Margaret Case
and Mre. Edna Macklam, tenderly
watched over her and soothed her
sorrow. Dr. J. D. Colquhoun, of the
Seaforth Clinic, attended her day and
night, but the spark of life had fled.
Dr. F. J. Burrows called as a familiar
friend. Mr. W. H. Golding, M.P., us-
ed his car and phone freely and drove
to Brussels cemetery and arranged
pallbearers before the funeral. We
wer sorry her dear friend, alts. R.
S. gays, was away from home. Sisl
ter missed her. Bishop Manasseh
Hallman, wife and son Jacob, from
Ma .°:, Beim, near Kitchener — good
friends—were present. Bishop Hall-
man read the Scripture lesson. Also
Milton Weber, Mr. Fred Kraatz and
family, Hilda, Marie, Nelda and Owen
from Kitchener, attended. Cousins'
from Toronto were 'unable to come
through sickness.
The old friends, Geo. A. Sills, F. G.
Neelin, John Walker, John McLellan,
showed their Sympathy. The ladies
gave special help. The neighbors,
Mrs. Henry Hoggarth, Mrs. Golding,
Mrs. Ament, Mrs. Christie, Miss Jean
Ferguson, Miss Jessie Bethune, and
others.
The funeral was largely attended.
'Many were not notified in time to
come from a distance. Rev. H. V'. -
Workman, her pastor, from the Unit-
ed Church, conducted the funeral. Two
beautiful hymns, familiar to the de-
ceased, were suig by a quartette com-
posed of Mr. 'and Mrs. Jas. A. Stew-
art, Miss Ruth Cluff and Mr. E. C.
Chamberlain, "Safe in the Arms of
Jesus" and "Abide With Me." The
remains were laid away in the family
plot, Brussels cemetery. At rest, Miss
Robertson's thoughts, dreams and
work this summer clearly pointed 'o
the fact she would go "Home" soon.
Her sickness began Friday night,
Sept. 30th, and died Wednesday morn-
ing, Oct. 5th.
I hear thee speak of the better land;
Thou call'st its children a happy band,
Sister! Oh where is that radiant
shore?
Shall we not seek it, and weep no
more? •
Is it where the flowers• of the orange
blows?
And the fireflies glance through the
myrtle boughs?
Not there, not there, my child!
Is it far away, in some region old,
There the rivers wander o'er sands
old?
Whereof gthe turnings rays of the ruby
s'h i ne,
And the dyamond lights up the secret
mine, °
And the pearl gleams forth from the
coral strand?
Is it there, sweet sister, that better
land?
Not there, not there, my child!
Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy;
Ear hath not beard its deep songs of
joy—
Dreams cannot picture a world so fair,
Sorrow and death may not enter
there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless
bloom;
Far ,beyond the clouds, and beyond
the tomb—
It is there, it is there, my child!

to purchase relief from war, but only
at the price of giving up on a very
large aeale most of its other sins and
selfishness: Until that time comes,
we have no right to expect that our
own nation, whatever be its geogra-
phical advantage, shall be eternally
exempt front the common sedurge of
humanity; and.. particularly we have
no right to seek tbat exemption at
the price of •a cowardly abandonment
Of 'those who hare aided •us in ' the
pant.. aa,d• who have relied upon us . for
the Mitre.
