HE KNEW
We are reminded just now of the remarks of Stanley Baldwin
on one occasion of his accepting the office of Prime Minister.
Friends were congratulating .him of the high position which he had
attained. “I’m not sure but that I am more an object for prayers
rather than of congratulation,” he wisely and feelingly replied.A*******
LET’S NOT FORGET
Over there in Spain they’re killing each other. Little children
are pinched for food as they shiver in the sleet or in the frost and
asked with wide-eyed wonder what is is all about.
Well, all the Wiorld can give them an answer. Spain had .rulers
who gave themselves to speed, to extravagance, to scandal and to flouting the moral law. .She gave herself to politics’rather than
to good government; to pleasure rather than to service and down
right hard work in pursuit of worth while ends. The confectioner

system of auditing for the majority of affairs in .rural Ontario, is
not only largely useless but a positive menace. At last county
authorities are waking up to the truth of our remarks. This wak
ing up is long overdue. We make no reflection, we .have made no
reflection, upon the integrity of the auditors who have allegedly
examined the accounts .of the average municipality or company or
lodge or such concern. We have simply pointed out that these
municipalities and concerns have employed men for a task for
which the employees were not fitted. Men have been assigned
tasks in auditing that in heir very nature make repairing a high
grade watch or a telephone system the merest child’s play by com
parison. Little wonder that serious mistakes have been made. It
takes a whole lot more than good intentions and ability to> add and
subtract and to. do a little reading to make a good job of auditing.

IT’S JUST TOO BAD
All this mess over the King is simply too bad. Never since
Kings were crowned in England did a monarch ascend the throne
amid brighter omens than those that marked the
present monarch. By this time every school boy

eyed men and women are the first to conress that there has been for
the last quarter of a century a decided lack of moral vigour and ig
noring of high Christian ideals. When many leaders in the church
tell you that there is no1 hell for the wicked and no heaven for the
self-denying and the straight-going, anything may ibe looked for.
When the pleasure of the hour becomes the standard of conduct for
a very large proportion of the people we need be neither surprised

that the Most High will by no means clear the guilty, whether the
guilty be king or peasant. iGod still punishes evil and rewards
virtue, whether we admit or not.
As iregards the constitutional aspects of the deplorable situa
tion two things are needed. (First, confidence in the king’s min
