MA1 OF OUR ENVIRONMENTS?

There are three things that
are necessary to the making OF
the best character, and the rich
est HE. These are heredity, en-
Nronment. and a right eoncep
ton of God. A character may
exist. and many do exist, with
out the last named qualification,
but he cannot be what he ought
ts. neither can he be truly happy
without it. Give to a person q
favorable heredity, the best pos
ible environments, and a true
conception of the one true and
living God, and ten to one ne will
make.a character of which the
world should be justly proud.
Without these there is but little
hope. IL is just as necessary to
work to develop a right environ
ment for our children. as it is to
furnish them something to eat
and wear. Then. let parents
and citizens labour to give to the
rising generation such environ
ment as Will contribute to the
making of right character, and
tend to safeguard the best inter-
ests Of our country.
Let our motto be: Better
churches, better schools, better
roads and a better environment. F"
It is quite commendable to
know that several people were
present at the church Sunday
morning and evening. notwith-
standing the very cold weather.
Ibelieve that we ought to keep
this practice UP, and go to church
regardless fithe cold iweather.
We can afford to really suffer
for Christ's sake. If it is neces-
ssry. So come back next Sun
day night.
The pastor will preach at
Flynn's Lick next Sunday MORN
ing at eleven and at Gainesboro
Sunday night.

LONDON, Dec. 9. = The first
definite step has been taken to-
ward a permanent settlement Of
the Irish question that may leave
Ireland a self.governing republic
in everything but the name.
Arthur Henderson, who went to
Ireland on a British labor commits
sion OF inquiry, and who hurrtedly
returned with a report to Lloyd
George, has undoubtedly received
support for his proposals for a
peace conference wnere leaders Of
Sim Fein, the irish Labor party
and the Catholic church would
meet representatives OF the British
government.
1t is fair to assume that Hender.
son was virtually an emissary from
the British government - which
would indicate that Britain wants
peace.
On the other hand, the fact that
Cardinal Logue favors the pro.
posed conference is regarded as a
good omen.
What compromise Henderson
has in mind ons can only guess.
But those In the best position to
make a forecast, predict program
like this:
ONE-Ireland, outside Of Ulster,
to get full self.government and to
become in everything except name,
a self.governing republic.
Two-England to receive salts
factory guarantees that Ireland will
never be used as a naval or mill
tary base for any enemy Of Great
Britain.
THREE-Ulster left free to stay
outside OF selfgovernIng ireland.
Four-De Valera to go under
plan Of government thatprovides
for no elected president.
AS a preliminary to any such
program a truce Is planned-in 9TH
or words cessation of Irish raids
and British reprisals.
