Now, in most communities, it IS. a reality. Indeed, in the rapid industrial and residential expansion of Canada it is a necessity. Some cities and towns have 'been alert to the need for regulated growth, while others have allowed their expansion to proceed along haphazard lines. The former are pleasant, progress- ive communities; the latter are full of headaches for themselves and everybody else. Every. community regardless of its size, has a pattern, which is the result of the social, economic and physical forces which first molded it and are acting upon it. Some of the forces are obvious and measurable. Others may still need study. A town plan cannot change the natural forâ€" ces, but it can guide them, control the rate of change and smooth out difficulties. The character of a village or town is determined to a large extent by the princi- - pal resources which led to its development. A mining town is different \from a market â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"' Wâ€" ednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday â€"-- June 10, 11, 12, 13 town. A summer resort may spread along a shore line, while a town whose industry is directly concerned with imports and ex- ports clings to the harbor area which itself set the original pattern in settlement and industrial growth. The pattern of a town is also a result of its site. Geological situation, hills, riv- ers, coastlines govern its Shape and the uses of its land reources. Land subject to flood or incapable of being well drained may be developed into park areas: fiat dry stretches invite industry; hillier land may become a fine residential area. In this way a town is divided by geography into areas. The manner in which the areas are developed should be the result of careful study and regulation if the town is to be something more than a haphazard. badly organized collection of houses and factory buildings. Town Planning, therefore, is simply a realistic attempt to study the growth of cities, towns and villages, and to prevent unhealthy and inefficient devel- opment. Its aim is to provide better living conditions within a community.

Lackie made things lively for a while. When the driver alighted from his \vaggon in front of Mr. Hall‘s store. the horses became frighten- ed and bolted. In their frenzy they tore up the lawn of the Methodist church breaking two young maple trees and spoiling another. After breaking loose from the waggon, they started north and were finally caught near the 2nd con. of Mark- ham. Jimmy Lackie was handled pretty roughly at the beginning of the episode and now goes around \\'Ilh a short step and a long one. APRIL 25. 1907 A warm discussion took place in Parliament on Monday when a bill was before the house asking that the radial railway company be alâ€" lowed into the heart of the city of Toronto. The prize lists for the annual Fair are printed and will be put into circulation in a day or so. A few years ago_ people scar- ccly knew whether to accept or re- fuse a piece of silver money with a hole in it or a piece that had been plugged. Such pieces are now refused by all banks. Workmen have been at work. inside and out. completing the re- novations on the Methodist Church.

About the length of sermons the request for brevity is underâ€" standable. I have s‘eldom known anyone who enjoyed long ser- mons. When a growing boy my favorite preachers were the short-winded kind and I haven't changed. If. in my own preach- ing I have ever been guilty of long-windedness I here humbly and abjectly apologize. The second requestâ€"about making funeral services comfort- ing, even cheerful, is slightly surâ€" prising. And. yet, why should it be? I think it is natural. espec- ially in the case of those who have lived a full life, that the attention of mourners should be directed to a wider and deeper view of the occasion. One of the most gifted. women of the last century was Harriett Martineau. She was a disting- uished journalist and author. whose counsel was sought by the leading parliamentarians of her generation.

She wrote: “I find re- ligious people often just as wor- ried and unhappy as those who are irreligious. It seems to me that if I believed what these people say they believed. I would never worry about any- thing. Even death, instead of being something to‘ mourn about, should be an occasion for deep joy-n I have always felt that Miss Martineau had a strong case. Her brother James, was a distinc'iish- ed clergyman but she said that his friends were all too serious; lacking in cheerfulness. In non-Christian lands death is invariably marked by what are often ostentatious displays of grief which must have had a de- pressing, almost unhealthy affect upon the bereaved and their friends. However, we are not thinking of such people but of devout church members who are completely crushed to the ground when bereavement comes. Apart from anything else it must make onlookers feel that religious be- lief is‘inot a potent factor with such people. All visitors to Rome are terested in the catacombs; the burying places of the Romans. It is still possible to see the epi- taphs written before and after the advent of Christianity.

Shutâ€"in's Day is meant to remind us of those of our fellow citizens who, because of age or disability or illness. are not able to lead the nor- mal type of active and busy life, and to suggest that we do something to help make them feel as they should, that they are part of our com- munity. that they also have a contribution to make to the general well-being of us all.

To the early Christians the place of interment was no longer I tomb but a sleeping place. lic- pealcdly the glorious. dcaihlcs hope is expressed: “Laid to rest in the sure and certain hope of a glorious resurrection." In liter- ally hundreds of cases the note of hope was triumphant. [believe the tone of funeral services has vastly improved dur- ing recent years. I have often been deeply touched by the tend- erness and wisdom of officiating clergymen. They have endeavâ€" oured to comfort and heal and that is all to the good. When John Wesley was dying he said: “The best of all is, God IS with us." He was in his eigh- ty-eighth year when he passed on but when his friends gathered around his bed he led them in a clear voice in a favourite hymn: I'll praise my Maker while I've breath. And when my voice is lost in death. Praise shall powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past. Whille life and thought and being ast, or immortality endures. employ my nobler t JOHN B. COULTER.

CANCER THROUGH THE AGES Cancer. a disease probably as old as mankind. is still much of a mystery to medical science. It is known. however. that some forms are curable and that others may be controlled. The essential thing is to have diagnosis and treatment as early as possible before the disâ€" ease becomes established. There- fore, anyone who has any suspic- ious symptoms should seek medi- cal attention immcdiately. There is a good chance of cure if cancer is treated early enough â€"â€" but time is the important factor. A medical examination is wise if there is any suspicion of the disease; if there is no cancer, the doctor’s report will set the mind at ease. Saturdays & Holidays â€" 6 pm.
