We view with disfavor the at- tempt that is being made by some of our .city councils in favor of the bill to change the Criminal Code to per- mit drives for aweepktakes for the benefit of hospitals and universities. \Ve desire to call the attention of this court and of our congregations to the statement issued by the Canadian Hospital Council and issued in print in March, -1938, by the Social Service Council of Canada, Toronto, to the effect that they do not favor this method of raising funds. They con- tend it breaks down the fine spirit of Christian pbilanthrophy and charity. 7t proves in the long run to be an expensive way of raising money for such noble work, inasmuch` as only 20 per ceat of the money raised goes toward the work of the hospitals, and 'thirdly, that the actual cost to the public for mhostpimtal work is much -high- er than it needs to be and the added cost falls oftirnes upon IThose least able to bear it. In view of all this we therefore concur withthe action of the Dominion Board of Evangel- ism and Social Service in expressing as a presbytery our emphatic disap- proval of any attempt to so amend the Criminal Code, We cannot afford to produce unethical and anti -social tendencies in the lives of our people. We as a presbytery stand unitedly behind the Huron Temperance Federa- tion. 3. We deplore the foot that our economic conditions are such that a large number of the youth of our country are standing idle all the day, because nobody bath hired them. Re- alizing as we do the potential wealth of the country in the lives of its youth we see how detrimental this is to them' and to tbe nation. We sym- pathize with them in their discour- agements and While we recognize our inability with the present economic setup to help to relieve the situation, the do welcome any suggestion or ef- fort that will help eo solve the situa- tion and give employment of any kind.

WO Strongly urge our people for the good of their own spiritual life and In Ube interests of society 'both to abstain from all gambling practices and to discourage their use • in their respec- tive espectt'ive communities. We do this be- cause the gambling spirit is a denial of the very essence of Christianity and because we regard 'these gam- bling practices as symptoms of wide- spread and deep seated moral and so- cial ,disease, viz., the acquisitive spit, it. We affirm that it is the' duty .of the Christian Church to give leader- ship in combatting this spirit in every form andarea ef life in which it ap- pears. Therefore, we call upon our ministers and people to act in har- cnony with this conviction. The Woman's Association of the church served dinner in the basement and to those who remained over a supper was served.

Another .note was to her husband. it simply read, "We married for home happiness until death do us part." •`Rev. A. C. Robb, Bluevale United Church, •also told of receiving notes from the accused woman for several daysprevious to the drowning. Sarah Magee, mother-in-law .0g, the accused, was the first of the ten crown witnesses to be called and gave her evidence Tuesday. She said she is a widow living "on the Morris Town- ship farm with her son William, his wife Ruby, the accused, their daugh- ter Mild'red, -and another son, George. The son, William,..was married Dec. 23, 1936. About Sept. 1, 1937, the baby was born. She swore that on July 27, 1938, she heard her daugh- ter-in-law going about in her own arartment, She was asked by her sons to accompany them' to the pota- to patch, and.- she sat in the wagon watching them. The husband of the accused was carrying water from a barrel in the wagon while the other eonm was applying parts green to the potatoes. She saw her daughter-in- law come back to the patch about 4 or 5 o'clock. She called, "Will, I've drove-ned Mildred." The witness said the turned and: saw her daughter-in- law with the child in her arms. Her son jumped the fence and ran to his wife, "0 God, surely you have not drowned the pride of my heart!" She told of the son going for the doctor and that the other son, George, went on spraying the potatoes.

' Mr. Hep- burn, speaking from the platfor'iu, re- plied that he would; if regeeated by 'those ooncierned, submit the question of the validity of the Canada Tem- peranee Act to the Supreme Court of Canada. In accord with this promise, the request that the do so was forwarded to the Goverment from the Temper- ance Executive of each of the three counties. The matter was also brought to his attentadn by the On- tario Temperance Federation and, he expressed his willingness to do so. Delay-hras,, however, intervened and the promise has not yet been imple- mented. A note from the Attorney - General's Department to the Ontario Temperance Federation during the re- cent summer has advised them that a submission is being prepared and it is expected that it will go forward this fall. Quite apart from the legal intrica- cies .of the jurisdiction of the two governments on this matter, the loss that the destruction of the Canada Temperance Act would involve to democratic procedure and progressive social reform would be serious in- deed.' So long as there is adequate law and vigorous enforcement of the same, it is not of great moment Col the citizens generally whether it is under provincial or federal jurisdic- tlone. What ,is of paramount import- ance is that Government should re -1 cognize that the liquor traffic is el social evil of great magnitude and wide ramifications; that it is deeply entrenched and that legislation in the interests of the well-being of our citi- zens Should facilitate the reasonable advance of the developing public opin- bon against such an enemy of society. With the development of modern transportation, municipal local option must prove inadequate to properly' protect dry areas. It is possible fee one municipality, sometimes a com- paratively insignificant one, to estab- lish in its borders what is essentially a .nuisance and a danger, net merely to itself, but to a wide area of ad- joining territory. In these circumstances some such county law is reasonable, \wholly de- sirable and necessary. The Canada Temperance Act, applicable to coun- ties, is such: a law; and until the province provides a like measure on an equally democratic basis, the Can- ada Temperance Act should be main- tained. To attack it while offering no fair and adequate substitute is simply to become the tool of the eon- seienceless liquor interests which so far as it dared would resist and over- throw any law that restricts its jug- gernautic progress.

Several of the young people were at Roy's Church on Tuesday evening where a supper was served and, <1e - bate was part of the program, as well as vocal and instrumental music. The dynamiting of a large elm stump near Ernest Allen's chopping mill created some necessary excite- ment on Monday morning by a warn- ing cry to pedestrians and motorists and then a general stampede, but though the blast went off that deep- ly embedded great old stump seemed little disturbed and will require much greater force to uproot it or break it into a removable state.
