It was decided that eongregatiots be
given an opportunity( to participate
more freely in the regular Sunday ser-
vices by singing; and responses.
It was agreed to give lay workers to
Mission districts, the rtgh•ts to per-
form marriage ceremonies and ad-
minister the Sacrament where the civil
law allowed this.
Despite a vigorous opposition, Con-
ference decided that young probation-
ers who have been a year on military
duty overseas should not be required
to serve 'out the required ante on the
circait before they can be ordained, 1t
was urged that it would be an injustice
to these soldier -students to make theist
go through the usual routine.
It was not only said to be unfair,
but dishonest for the church to, re-
tain half the money paid In by minis-
ters to the Superannuation Fund, when
such ministers leave the Ministry. It
was carried that all such retiring
preachers should get their stoney back
with 5 per cent. interest.
When the question arose of making
the nomination of Stewards open to
any member of a quarterly official
board, some objected but it was finally
decided to make the nominations open,
which takes the power out of the hands
of the clergy. Minister may still uonti-
tette Wren as Stewards, but he has not
the sole right to do so, as he once had,
11110 Superannuation Committee sub-
mitted a report recommending a sub-
stantial increase in the superannuation
grants to aged and disabled clergy, and
to widows and orphans of the clergy.
This was passed almost unanimously. •
General Conference is asked to in-
vite the other a hurches of Canada to
a National Convocation for the con-
sideration of the problems of recon-
struction.
Conference expresses the Opinion
that for the future safety of civflize-

until Germany is ready to lay down her

entente powers. s

On the opening pf Canada's great

i u dh
l e following ems-
sager:-
To the People of Canada,
The Yietory Loan of 1918 is note
being offered for 'public subscription,
It is an undertaking of most vital
consequence to the nation, and 1 can-
not too earnestly emphasize the duty
and responsibility resting upon all
citizens of Canada to co-operate 10
the.ext
onto
f their available e 1'esourees
in making it an unqualified success,
SIR THcaLIS WHITIS
Minister of Finance under whose
direction the great Victory Loan
drive for $500,000,000 is being
made.
The money to be raised is urgently
required to enable us to continue the
prosecution of the war, now In its
fifth and most crucial year, and for
the maintenance of the prosperity of
tate Dominion in all departments of
productive activity.
Apart from patriotic considerations
which should alone suffice, it Is the
direct, immediate, personai interest
of every individual Canadian citizen 1
that the Loan should not fail of its
objective. The bonds afford absolute
security and yield a most attractive
rate of interest. Undoubtedly, in the
period succeeding the war, they will
show a substantial appreciation in
value.
Ml citizens are earnestly invited
to subscribe. Remember, yon -are ask-
ed not to give but to lend your
money
Y to the state,
subset:lo-
tions from those

Smith vvitl> unusual care, "and should
constitute a standard. 'work . oh' the
subject for many years tq come. Fire
waste in the Dominion, the report says,
constitutes a probleof ,paramount
and far-reaching importance,; Con-
tinuation of the present tremendous:
loss of property and life by fire cannot
but vitally affect the economic future,
of the country.. if with tine cessation,
of the war, Canada is to enter success
folly upon a period of rapid expansion,.,
it 1s imperative that rational conserva-
tion go hand in hand with develop-
ment. it is as necessary to conserve
created wealth as it is to prevent the
waste of natural resources, Nature in
time may restore devastated forest
areas, but only human toil can raise a
new city from the ashes of the old.
Re-creation arrests productive, effort,
and the replacement of values destroy-
ed' by fire absorbs energies that would
otherwise be devoted to industrial and_
economic progress.
LOCAL PREVENTION NECESSARY
Conclusions have been reached its
the report, which show that loss by
fire is chiefly ascribed to; (a) careless-
ness due largely from a sense of
security created by the present system
of fire insurance; (b) faulty building
construction; (c) arson; (d) lack of
adequate fire prevention laws, such
laws as exist being poorly, enforced,. 1t
is also conceived that, although the ag-
gregate loss by ,fire constitutes a
national problem, all fires are local in
origin and are, therefore, locally pre-
ventable and controllable. The only
possible solution of the national tire
waste problem lies in the adoption .,f
compulsory measures which by rnto a 111 1 110111 the tire educ-
ummunitiesa1Ind props ties, willilprs-
vent-

The report also states that every -
community should be provided with 511
adequate water supply and a modern
tire-tighling organization, proportion-
ate to its character, area and popula-
tion, All Building construction and

BANKS WILL LEND, i p
In order to help out small sub- 0

amount of the Investm011,t im ,i3le t'
