after long years Of service, pass
on all too soon because of the
lack of adequate provision for
their welfare. He pointed to the
thoughtfulness of the vestry and
congregation of a church in
full of the forty years Of service
rendered by their minister, voted
that he should occupy the rec
tory of the church as long as he
lives, which spared him from
having to look for new living
quarters and start all over again
in the twilight Of his life. The
thoughtfulness of that congrega-
ton sets a pattern for other
churches in their regard for the
welfare Of retiring cIergymen.
After the service, the Mission
airy Society of the Church pre-
pared and served dinner to the
guests, many of whom responded
with words of greetings and best
wishes to Father Moore Browne
and his family.

out that standard Ku Kux Khan practice to blame vo-

egmately fire back broadside at those northerners
who announce with satisfaction that the Peekski mob
has shown the country the to kick out the commies

resented this keenly. In some

fought a magnificent battle for
India's freedom from colonial

parting British saw to it that the
country was split This condi-
ton will be remedied in time.
But it cost India Gandhi and
material losses. She does need
help.
THE COLONIAL propaganda
has always been that the people
of Ireland, India, China, Africa,
etc, were TOO DIVIDED among
themselves to be capable Of
SELF-RULE. Too many travel

this damaging dogma, although
