_ Will be the final goal of ill. That nothing walks with aimless feet: That not one life shall be destroyed. Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God has made the pile complete. In somewhat the same strain is the groping thought of Cardinal Newman. unable to cope with intellectual wrestling, turning in faith to a Power believed rather than understood: F‘rom too much of living From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives forever; That dead men rise up never: That even the weariest river Winds somewhere to the sea. Then, however, as the wheel of thought voices arise struggling spiritward. Comes tl _ A highly edifying selection of verse has been made by Miss Phyllis Campbell to illustrate the View that in fol- lowing literature down through the centuries one must be impressed with the View that thought revolves in cycles. Miss Campbell explains that one school cries out that there is no spiritual truth, that the material world is real and advocates in the words of Omar Khayyam: Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend. Before we, too, into the dust descend; Dust unto dust, and under dust to lie Sans wine. sans song, sans singer, Andâ€"sans end. World worship. Miss Campbell points out, inevitany brings with it inertia. desolation and a great wearincss. but lush sensuality spent, there arises from it a deadly nihilism: It only goes to Show. to our mind, that here in Rich- mond Hill we never know how the other half of the world is livimr. “A politician also advertises that he will distribute 150_pairs of nylons by dropping them over the city from a plane. How did he happen to be able to obtain 150 pairs of this scarce item? And will it not be interesting to watch the women scramble to the tree tops for a pair of this needed item,? Personally, I would say that the politician would be defeated. He is depriving merchants of the right to that merchandise; he is depriving women who‘ really need those stockings from obtaining them through regular channels." “Instead of selling butter through regular grocery channels you can get all you want at the local gas station if you happen to own a car. Butter takes on the odors of other commodities readily. Gasoline and butter should be a fine mixture. Who is responsible for such distribu- tion of this scarce item supposed to be under government control? Then, however, as the wheel of thought turns, new zoices arise struggling spiritward. Comes the faltering- 'aith of Tennyson who recognized a “larger hope":â€" Oh yet We trust that somehow good "We have price controls and such things in Canada, and there are folks in Richmond Hill who classify them as most unpopular even though necessary interferences with trade. But the Dominion is not having anything like the trouble some of our American cousins ap ar to be having with their system of controls. For example, a gentleman named Chester M. Way writes to the Wall St. Journal from St. Petersburg, Florida, as follows: “A local gas station advertises today that ‘if you buy your gas and oil from us, you can purchase one pound of butter for 55c.’ - And the regrettable thing about it is that no one in Richmond Hill or the surrounding district need fall into any get-rich-quick; trap in as much as one of the largest Canadian banks maintains an office in the village under the direction of a manager who is always Willing to help persons in doubt about investments or enterprises on which they may be asked to embark. “A sensible person wouldn‘t tap his sayings to shoot craps or bet on a horse, or play gin rummy, but as sound investments, craps, horses and cards are no sillier than the current get-rich-quick schemes.” “Right in this district I have met people who listen to soft song men who profess with no pain. no labor and in no time whatever to make them rich. They don't seem torealize that if these cheats had the secret of quick wealth, they wouldn’t be selling questionable propositions for a thin and precarious living. A correspondent of The Liberal asked in a recent issue that something be done to help safeguard the re- turned soldier from racketeers seeking to get the govern- nient allowances given a veteran on his discharge from active service. It was pointed out that a committee of’ the Lions Club of Richmond Hill was formed for that pur- pose and will be glad to help veterans decide the merits of any business proposal put before them. It would seem. however, that not only veterans but many others are also in need of some such service. In this connection. a Rich- mond Hill business man with wide contacts said to The Liberal a few days ago: A Western editor sees the success of the Alberta bill resting on insulating the Albel'tan economy from therest of Canada “by some form of import-export control. or possibly, by something in the nature of exchange control. He expresses the opinion that any plan which “contains within itself the seeds of such balkanization of the Can- adian economy“ must be a matter of concern to every father province. Members of the Alberta legislature acknowledge that they are a bit confused as to just what the bill means. To many of us in Richmond Hill it is reminiscent of the original promises of the late Mr. Aberhart who got the Social Credit Party into power with the rosy assurance that every man, woman and child was entitled to $25 a month in what he called social credit dividends. For example, a bill has been introduced at Edmonton called the “Alberta Bill of Rights Act," which is adver- tised as a plan to assure everyone over the age of 19 a minimum annual income of $600 plus certain other health. security and educational benefits. The business of getting something for nothingr is al- ways attractive. Hundreds. probably thousands of meth- ods of doing it, have been devised, and now even some political groups have taken the subject up and are con- cocting schemes on the hypothesis that Santa Claus and Christmas can be maderevery day occurrences.

V.C.â€"the “Padre X" of Dieppe. Surely no one can sincerely doubt the divine origin of re- ligion when it can, through God’s grace, produce such a man. Rev. John Foote makes one proud to be a Canadian, but above all he makes one humbly thankful to have the opportunity of being a Christian. Padre John F‘oote A Fine Example. “T.N.T. Religion" writes The Liberal as follows in a vein that is genuinely inspirational: Sinâ€"Within recent years there has been an apparent increase in the number and in the strength of the accusa- tions of “decadence” which have been directed toward Christianity. ‘ Many of us who have been nurtured in Christianity realize that today too many so-called Christians fail to ap- preciate the pricelessness of their religious heritage â€" a heritage that has been given to us by men and women who have not counted the cost. but who could say with St. Paul: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed unto us." Lead thou me on; The night is dark and I am far from home. Lead thou me on. . Keep thou my soul; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me.
