Wonder- ful isn't it ? But the same car can be smashed almost to smithereens in less than 5 minutes when some enzy Ike at the wheel "speeds'er up" to 5o or 6o miles an hour and jumps a big ditch, runs into the end of a bridge. or takes a head on with another ear. Automobiles may be made of great service to the people, but in careless hands they may easily be made the agency for disaster and death. THE Posr Very heartily commends the good sense shown by Lieut -Governor Coekshutt, of the province of Ontario, in seeking to get better acquainted with the wonderful territory over which be presides by personally visiting various sections of it. No better way to break dow n prejudice, aid in progressive, plans for the future and showing to the world evidences ot true brotherhood and friendship. Too many of our public men are exclusive and make no attempt to ev- idence an interest in the people. They would profit by taking a hint from His Honor. AN innovation to some of the Teach- ers' Conventions has been the introduc- tion of Travel Talks by some of the members. This is a good way to dis- seminate knowledge and also to cause sigbteers to secure reliable date and practical facts. in their jaunts sightse- eing. Travel is a great educator but much time and moue), is spent in which the gleanings are notbroar}easted and consequently their value is transmitted to a comparative small number. The Travel Talk, especially if illustrated, is a splendid method of broadening the scope. CHINA is illustrating the folly of intern- al strife in the terrible war being carried on Thousands of the inhabitants are be- ing killed,cities are being burned orshat- tered by shot and shell that have taken hundreds of years to build and millions of dollars are being worse than wasted. The world has been very ready to bend a listening ear to the Chinese when famine or plague came upon them but their pre- sent suicidal carrying on will not evoke much sympathy or open up the purse strings when a call comes for succour. There are more than the Chinks. have a war lesson to learn. WotrLD it not be a good idea to re• introduce the old fashion ot shaking hands with folk? Ag raceful bow or lifting the bat very politely may serve the purpose when strangers meet but when old friends foregather a warm handclasp seems to fill the program better. Not a cold, fishtail effect but one with grip enough to show that hand- shaking is being done. Somebody says old time friendliness is dying out, and we would not be surprised when so many people dont make any attempt to keep it alive. While some of the old time practices may be dropped without any loss, handshaking is a custom that should be retained and put into practice ro times more than it: is. Are you n neglecter ? Get busy. IN York County the otltei night there wore no less [ban r2 stores, shops, and houses broken into and rifled of cash, jewelry and food. A busy time surely, Now according to the theory of the Mod- eration League, such wilful and active violation of the Statute, instead of the Constablarycalling all the help available to capture the thieves and bring them to book, they should apply to the Govern- ment to repeal the law. What's the good of it if it if broken ? Of course the reason is silly but that's the plea. What should be done ?

A Convention, mucking the first 100 years of MethndietMtssione in Canada, will beheld in ltdaseey Hall, Toronto, from November 4 to 7 next. It appears that in 1824, just a cen- tury ago, the Methodist circuits and districts in Canada were organized in- to a Conference, which proceeded at once to forst a Missionary Society. Gifts of the fleet year amounting, we are told, to 8144 00, made it possible to provide services in destitute settle- ments and among the Indians. First missionaries were sent to places no more remote than the Niagara Pen- insula, Canada has come far since then, and her churches have flung their missions to the fringes of the continent and overseas.

EDITOR,— In ceeponre to an invitation from friends at Roe's Church, tendered by their pastor, to conduct Anniversary services there, it was lay privilege to go back to the spot, where, as junior Pastor, I ministered 46 years ago. The date was October, 12th, the day lovely, and the people of that community a• veiled themselves of the opportunity of worshipping together on the occas- ion of their annual Anniversary. At- tendance was large, both morning and evening, taxing to the limit, the capa- city of the little church near the cor- ner, which by the way, has been brick- ed and otherwise improved since my last visit there over 30 yeare ago. A fine commodious shed is also erected on the lot. The Ethel friends led us in the ser- vice of song at the forenoon service, and the musical friends d f Jamstot e n n v including representatives from the Strachan family, discoursed helpful music in the evening. a The express- ions of appreciation were compliment. ary. For thyself, I felt the spiritual atmosphere was uplifting. I fou td only two families of 1878 retraining, James Pearson, Ethel and Mrs, Rob- ert Peat -son, at whose home I was hospitably entertained. Was cheered to meet the Musgrove, Boeman, Math - era, Shaw and Johnston families pres- ent at the morning service, These were my parishioners 25 yeare ago, Referring to the families who wor- shipped there 48 years ago I distinct- ly recall John Jackson (father of Revs. Thomas and George Jackson). Samuel Atnes (whose son Joseph resides in Ethel), Jos. Reynard, Richard Roe (whose son, Saundets, was present from Brussels), Samuel Bates, Win, Bishop, Ambrose Stephenson, Thomas Heritage, David Maguire, Daniel Mc- Quarrie, Albert Frain. James McOut• cheon and others, making a member- ship of about 50. Enquired concern- ing these and found that they had pas- sed on to the Great Beyond, A chas- teningthought, surely, but they left to their children and successors a val- uable heritage, and it is for them to "Prove title to their heirship vast, By records of a well -Hila past ; A heritage it seems to me, Well worth a life to hold in fee." Well—it is a great joy to meet the friends of former years—renew ac- quaintances and minister to them a- gain in high and holy things.

The Stand- ard Bank has 163 branches of which 116 are in Ontario, 22 in Alberta, 16 in Saskatchewan, and 6 in Manitoba, and one each in British Oolurnbia, New Brunswick and Quebec.

Building, Toronto, MYTHICAL MERITS OF GOVERN- MENT CONTROL A recent advertisement by the Mod- eration League in making, an appeal for financial support, contained the following : More millione, if not in profits at least in sales, are being lost by our manufacturers, wholesalers and job- bers because of increasing tendency of buyers, not merely from the West, but from within Ontario itself, to fav- or avor Montreal I" If this statement be true, then busi- nese should be bigger and better in Montreal than in Toronto. One forceful fact in this conuection is enough. The following table gives a compari- son between the bank clearings of Montreal and Toronto for the years 1920 and 1923 : Montreal, 1920 ; $7,109,189,038 ; Tor- onto, 1920, 85,493,105,775 ; Montreal, 1925, $5,410,214,802 ; Toronto, 1923, $5,591,588,205 Decrease in Montreal, 81 616,083,163 ; increase in Toronto, $181,353,403. The Moderatiou League in their ad- vertisement also complained that : "Still more millions are being lost to our hotels and restaurants, retail stores, theatres, garages, oil stations, etc., by the throngs of automobile tourists from acmes the border—free spenders all of them—whom we don't get, but whom we might get I And the feeding of them, while here, would be a wele omeaddition to the market of:our farmers. Again cold hard facts smash into smithereens the unsupported wail of these booze protagonists, The Government records show the number of automobiles admitted for touring purposes during the year 1922, the last for which figures were avail- able, was a8 follows : Quebec, 62,951, ; Ontario, 882,920.
