RELIGIOUS WORK The story is told of two prospective travellers who passed out from the railway ticket office, In where the trains were waiting. Having taken seats in the rete ear, 0 trainman told them to move to a forward ear. They replied, that this was good enough for then. "Yes," said he, "but it ain't hitched to anything that will take you anywhere." In this age it is important to have aspirations and to realize that our lives must be direct• ed towards great ends or there is small chance of human betterment and world progress. The Christian churches are facing the fall term of worship and work, The calls to service in both the church and state are urgent and are not unrelated. Religion has a benetic• nal effect upon all life and the useful worker anywhere should realize him- self, a partner with the Great Father of all, who is himself, a working God. The Christian life creates an atti• tude, which wisely, never attempts to show that secular and religious work are ever really separate, and yet there is a work for every person, no matter what his daily task, which should be seen as religious work. Dr. Hugh Black, in his book on "Work," has the following quotation —"There is distinctively religious work—The work of the church, the work of the personal testimony to truth, extending the bounds of the Kingdom of God. We ought to have more of this, a franker and nobler witness of all the member:: of the church and a wide acceptance of duty towards them that are without for the church is committed to u5 put into our hands as representatives of our Master. There is 0 place for each of us, it demand for the service of all."—•H. Y. W.

BLYTH MAN BURNED WHEN CHEMICALS IGNITE While endeavoring to extinguish a ,fire that had set one of this trouser legs ebllaze, George IMcNifl, Sr., of Blyth, 'memiber of a IHu•non oounty tweed spraying unit, diad (both Ihanrl's severely ,and painfully 'burned on Monday.

PICNIC POSTPONED The picnic of St. Thomas' Anglic'aai Church, which was to have been held Wednesday afternoon, was postponed. WANTED: AN EFFICIENCY EXPERT (By S. Snupe) A short time ago the Godericb Lions Clnh pet on 0 two night carn- ival in aid of the needy folks of their town. Twenty-one. hundred cash ens• tamers paid admissions, and despite the fact that dozens of handsome prizes ranging frons bridge sets to bicycles and electric refrigerators were given away, a tidy profit of $1,300 was realized. Last July Stere in Seaforth, the local Lions organization held their annual carnival. Over nine thousand persons attended this affair, yet, ex. traordinarily enough, the club has offered to the public who paid for it the amazing report that only 01,200 was entered on the credit side of the ledger after expenses were paid, This astonishing fiscal statement causes us to wonder. And do some arithmetic. Let's see -9,000 admin sions; perhaps one thousand came fn on Annie Oakleys or over the fence, plus 3000 children free,—total $011.00. 5,000 adults at twenty-five cents. $1,250. Thee dance held within the grounds, despite the amazing noises which came from the "orchestra" probably netted around two or three hundred dollars. The various games including the bingo contest, probably the greatest money retaking enter• prise ever seen around these parts, altogether should have taken in a total of around $2,000. The other concessions likely made a profit of say, $150. Total profits, about 03.300. According to our estimate. about $2,000 went down the drain for Ent. penses, Wonder if the Seaforth Lions club would care to publish in this paper, free of charge, an itemized account of their expenses for that evening in July, 1940.
