MINORS AND. FIRE ARMS

The Provincial police wish to draw
attention to the fact that ininors
(yeung children). ave not supposed to
cnryy Fire arms, and parents or adults
are mot supposed to leave fire arms
where childen can -get at them, espec-
ially if the children ure not inclined to
ls abedient. Whether you like it or
not. that is the. Inw, and that law is a
common law,and that means it applies
to you as well as to the other fellow,
whether you like that or not. For a

long time, in fact for years, small
boys have heen given fire arms by

their parents and those saine parents
hive supplied’ amunition for those
sims, and the small hoys have ‘been
allowed ta zo out hunting alone, or in
eolnpany with other small boys, That
ny serions aecident has. happened be-
fore is not the fault of the parents

= The Best Loved Hymn

One huidred years-ago John Henry
Newman, a lonely and bewildered
young nan of thirty-three, gave to the
World a hymn which has been the com
fort and. consolation of millions of per-
Dlexed and stricken hearts in: English
speaking Christendom throughout the
century. ee

“Lead KindlyLight” was first puh-
lishedin 188-4.

“Today its nessage af hope and cou-
fidence rings as cleirly as it did in an
England shaken to its foundations by.
the. spiritual and moral turmoil of .the
industrial revolution and the awnken-
ing: of a democracy.

Men and women love it hocause it
is the perfect expression of real relig
ion. The central truth of Christianity
—Love—standsout with extraordinary
elavity. Ata recent conference in
Chicago the sacred music of the world
wus ransacked for a hymn that eold
be sung without offense to the dele-
gates of any of the religions represent-
ed. “Lead Kindly Light” was chosen
and accepted by Catholic and Jew and
Mahommedian and: Tindu,- as a com-
plete expression of the trust which the
Almighty dempnds from all humanity.

wie stpply guns and amunition, The
police take this appertaunityte draw,
the attention’ of parents to the posi-
tion they put. themselves in, as well as:
the danger to. their children and ‘the
childven of others.

Of conrse accidents. happen, even in
eases of adults handling firearms and
accidents will continne to happen be-
eimse there are many adults handling
suus who have no more right to be do-
ing so that a small boy.

When the Price Sprend and Moss
Iinying Commission gets through it,
will be found that.most of the trouble
with business has been due to that
species known as the fficieney xpert.
—the arch tempter of many good men.

Here is the beautiful story of the
hitth of the hymi. When Newnan
wrote it he was “already oa popular
young prencher oat the University
Church of St. Mury’s. Oxford. In a
diction’ of alniost. childlike siinplicity
he thought he brought his listeners
the greatest lore story in history-—the
story of Jesus Christ.

Newnun, one bundred years age
was the cutural pivot of England's

intellectual life: There is no prefer-
ment in the Church of England that
