He says, how wat it possible to maintain institutions -:are for the poor and needy and pro- vide for the upkeep of a hundred and jne different philanthropic enterpris- es in the days before there was a uingo every night and raffle ticket sellers on e' - ery street cor:;or? How ha? it come about that the ,>ublic have been so largk-y educated to give towards many good causes only when there is a chance of gett- ing back many times the value of their gifts? There was a timu when people gave or the love of giving, not for tli '"o of gutting. Those were the da\ when men and women were r.iade o the stiffer stuff when they nan little higher regard for the moralit- ies thun they have today, when th> church counted more in the commun ity and its teacher was sterner and more generally observed. Sins were denounced in particular as well as sin in the abstract. It was in that period that Canada's parliament en ":<<! laws against lotteries and ii"iws and attempted to enforce them. The growth of gambling h as paral- led the decline of attendance in Protestant churchos. What inter- elationshi.i there may be is diffi- cult to appraise. Certain it is how- vcr, that to the extent that the churches have failed to emphasize the great truth that "the Lord loveth a cheerful giver," and pussy-footed on tlm moral issues involved 'n gambling, the churches have gone hack while games of chance, lotteries :ind draws have multiplied.

Wiarton Echo. WEEDS HAVE ENEMIES In recent years, natural causes have led to at least a temporary duction of weed infestation. In places, the prevalence of grasshop- pers has esulted in a marked de- crease in .he growth and vigour of sow thistle. A succession of dry sea sons has been followed by les trouble with wild oats. Canada thistle, pos- sibly because of combined insect damage and dry seaons, has practic- ally disappeared from areas where it was a major pest a few years ago. liowever, the opportunity for re-in- . citation through u change in condi- tions is a factor that has to be guarded against.
