In fact, we all need faith, and it is something which each and every one can possess. Reading the stories of all those who ever accomplished anything of consequence in the world makes one realize that the possession of faith was the secret of their success. We should, therefore, profit by the example of such persons and endeaVour to cultivate the virtues of men and women who have really and truly possessed an abiding faith in their attitude toward people and events. Faith is needed today in every walk of life. The business man needs faith, and the professional man is in equal need of this great asset. The man who earns his living with his hands is also in need of faith. The church as an organization must possess faith if anything worth while is to be accomplished. A special committee of the House of Commons is in- vestigating the milk industry with a View to ascertaining the costs of providing this necessary commodity to the peoâ€" ple. It has been revealed that there is a considerable ex- pense involved in the giving of an- up-toâ€"date service, and it also develops that those who are the consumers will not have anything else but the most modern equipment in order that the health of everyone is properly safeguarded. Boards of Health all over the country have made the regu- lations regarding the production and distribution of milk much more expensive in recent years. It has been shown that milk distributors have invested large sums in plant and equipment so that milk may be collected from considerable distances in the country sur- rounding centres of population and delivered promptly to customers. Then it must be taken into consideration that heavy losses are sustained by all milk distributors in the breakage and disappearance of bottles, and in this respect the consumer must assume the greater part of the blame. Where there is a surplus supply of milk, as there is in many parts of the country, the price is bound to be low. Milk is like wheat 01‘ any other commodity where the supply ex- ceeds the demand. The buyer bases the price he offers on the relation of the amount available to what he thinks he can sell. ’ Faith will take one far in his journey along the path- way of life, and without faith no one can truly succeed. How can one go forward if he is destitute of faith? How can he help his fellow-men if he does not know the meaning of this great word? Faith is necessary' if one is to believe in himself or God. It is necessary if one is to believe in the immortality of the soul. It is necessary if one is to be of service to those with whom he comes in contact. A community makes progress because there are those who have faith. A city, state or nation progresses for exactly the same reason. The individual, himself, makes progress because he has faith, and because he allows no defeat to keep him down. It is unfortunate for those engaged in mixed farming and dairying that the prices of milk, butter and cheese should prove unprofitable. In former years these products were exceedingly profitable and were the backbone of the agricultural industry, and the man on the farm was assured of a reasonable living because of them. It is highly deâ€" sirable, therefore, that whatever revenue is possible from the dairy industry should be equally distributed between the producers and those who market the products. Evidence which has already been taken at Ottawa shows that there might be reductions made along several lines. There is a hint of too many frills introduced into the processes of production and selling, while at the same time the very nature of the industry is such that the max- imum in hygienic precautions must be exercised, and these are costly. The chief claim is that there is too much of It was faith that enabled Moses to lead the chosen peo- ple out of the wilderness to the very verge of the Promised Land. Faith inspired Joshua to lead the Israelites after Moses had gone to his reward. Faith led Caesar to cross the Rubicon; it led the early Christians to sacrifice their lives in hostile climes, and it enabled the reformers of later days of persevere in the face of the most difficult obstacles. Easter knows both sides of life, the tragic and the triumphant, there was Calvary as well as the Resurrection. In the bright hope and inspiration of Easter there is no such word as failure or despair. “Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” That is the spirit of Easter. Easter confirms the undying faith of human hearts and all nature seems to harmonize with the spiritual sig- nificance of the celebration. Let us enter into the spirit of the Eastertide and with earnest hearts hope and pray that that spirit may permeate the world. Faith is one of the greatest things in all the world. It is faith that is back of every great movement, andthe Good Book says that if one possesses this characteristic he can even move mountains. ’ EASTER proves the mighty reality of idealism. Easâ€" ter is God’s promise and humanity’s hope. Easter is the rainbow reaching from heaven to earth with its heavenly ; romise of better thingsâ€"its promise of eternity. Right and Peace will yet reign supreme. Good will to all men will yet take the place of ill will, and the healing of love will heal the scars of hate. Out of the dark and bloody soil of strife and greed and hatred will surely blossom the pure hhes of brotherhood,peace and progressâ€"â€"because of EASTER. Suggestions are being constantly made throughout the province that the names of those on relief should be published, and also the amounts received by them since December 1st. Others are demanding that the names of a spread between the producer and the c0nSdmerito the detriment of the former, and this is one of the matters under investigation. J.

The late Mr. Stewart was in his 74th year and has resided for a great number of years on the farm on the South West corner of the Townline and the third. A short service was held at the house and then proceeded to the United Church where many friends gathered to pay their last respects. Rev. Davis and Rev.

In nine cases out of ten, frankness is preferable to secrecy in conducting public affairs. For this statement, we could quote innumerable authorities, but we are con- tent to rest our case upon an editorial which appeared a day or two ago in The Christian Science Monitor, an inter- national daily newspaper which has a worldâ€"wide reputation for reportorial accuracy and editorial authority. “Try to keep uncomfortable facts from the people and the effort is often a boomerang,” the Monitor states. “The truism that publicity is the better policy is ten times more applicable where the taxpayers’ money is concerned,” this authority adds. Further down in the same article, occurs the sentence, “If the facts were printed, the evil-tongued rumor-mongers would be stilled, and the confidence which this would reveal to the people would beget confidence.” PublicatiOn of the names of those in arrears for taxes and the amounts, would not help them to raise the required sums. It might, in a few instances, cause some who are banking or investing their money instead of paying their debts, to direct it into the proper channels, but it is likely a large percentage of the arrears is due by people who have not got the money and have no means of getting it. Why then should they be placarded for a condition Which they are unable to avoid? those in arrears for taxes and also the amounts owing by them should be given publicity through the local papers. Both suggestions are open ‘to question. The first would likely produce results and save the town a lot of money in the future, if the open-handed system is to be continued; on the other hand it would humiliate the deserving families and cause them Wholly unnecessary humiliation.

Thanking you for the space in your paper, I am, The present building is unsightly, and is an eyesore which slams you in the face every time you travel down Church Street or go to the park. Moreover, situated as it is and housing as it does all kinds of un~ known and objectionable characters, it is not desirable that women and children should have to pass so close to it. I know that any who are at all inclined to nervousness do not relish passing the building at night. I was very pleased to note that the council was considering the removal of the unsightly lock-up which mars the local park. It is so often said that the work of our legislators is destructive and not constmctive, but here is an opportunity for them to do something which Will be destruc- tive but which will at the same time be constructive. Editor, The Liberal Sirzâ€" ' ' From enquiries I have made, it is apparent that the cost of removal would not be very much and there would seem to be no good argument why the work should not be done.
