MISSIONARY SPOKE-
AT UNITED CHURCH
Mrs. George Bryce, Ph. D., Told of
India
. If. India is to be chirtsianized the
peoples of that country must be
tought to read, Mrs. Dr. George Bryce
said when she addressed the congre-
gation at the United Church on Sun-
day. Mrs, Bryce is qualified to talk
of India as she and her husband spent
30 years there as missionaries. She
said that only 2 out of every 100 wo-
men cotild read and that the same
could be said of 14 pe.r cent of the
population. ,
' There are about 8,000,000 christians
in India out of a population of 400,-
000,000. The country 'was divided
three ways, racial, religious and econ-
omic. When the war is over and India
starts to govern herself it will take
a big adjustment to straighten out
these matters.
Mrs. Bryce who is at present teach-
ing at the University of Toronto, im-
pressed her hearers with the necessity
of greater education for the peoples
of India. She spoke of the strife be-
tween Hindus, Moslems and other re-
ligions. There are the very rich and
the very Nor in that country and she
said that Communism has made great
headway during the past few years.
India is taking part in this war in
a great way. The Indian army of 2,-
000,000 is the largest volunteer army
in the world. She said that the
Christian religion was the only thing
that could save India and urged that
every possible help be given that the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ may reach to
all peoples' of that vast country.

pear in our next issue.
Every municipality ih this end of

couple of townships in the South of
the County may not reach their ob-
jective, but on the whole the County
will be well over the top. Wingham
has a total of $e91,650 and the object-
ive here was $187,000,

"The Wingham C.C.F. club had as
guests on Saturday Mr. E. B.
M.P.P., Ontario C.C,F, leader;
and B. E. Leavens, M.P.P. Mr. Jol-
liffe spoke twice while here, both times
in the evening. His first address was,
oyer CKNX and later he addressed a
„meeting in the Town 'Hall, •
Mr, Jolliffe said spokesmen for the
Ontario Government, including Prem-
ier Drew have been pretending that
.there was only one change in the Civil
Service as a, result of the change of
government last summer, This is just
.an example of Tory hypocrisy, he said,
There may have been few changes at
Toronto„ but large numbers of pro-
vincial employees throughout the
province have been fired just because
they were branded Liberals and have
been replaced by Conservatives.
Before the session one of the Tory
members of the Legislature, Dr. R.
Hobbs Taylor of Huron, boasted that
Ids riding the Tory organization, had
asked for nine changes and'already had
obtained eight. We invited Premier
Drew to repudiate this blushing dec-
laration of petty patronage but Prem-
ier Drew has never done so. I do.
think he will because his party lives
ly patronage handouts at the bottom
and high finance at the top.
