; 125th Anniversary Of Bfibgociety

mrbienhiai-‘mecting of the Can. adian Bible Society Board was held m Regina, Saskatchewan, on the llth Ind 12th of this month.

Some very lmportantbusixicss was transacted. and this province was re.

~ presented by Rev. H. D. Raymond. of Ol-lerlotbptowlli President of the branch for the Prince Edward is- land Alfllllflfy. Mr. Raymond re- turned houiejon Friday evening.

‘speaking of. this meeting. he grab- ed tbll RIF-Tho attended came away with a stild iarger vision of the world work willchl is being carried on by the Bible Society in the circulation of the Scripture without note or comment in many lands throughout the world.

Th0 fact that one iluridrcd and eleven languages are required ‘for the pPOplG of Canada. impresses readers wit-h the cosmopolitan chaincter of our population and thc nccessitytimt the best influences shall be used in forging this mass of nationalities in. to Canadian citizenship.

Particularly is this true of the West where train loads of? pcople

posited daily to be nbsorbcd by the employment-a Ind opportunities of that land. '

Th: reports oi the ‘Bible Society brought-outthe fact that its circula- tion of Scriptures is ncw~ made in l6l2filahg'u_a.ges and that in thirty- Qlfiiill: different forms of speech Scriptures have been provided in

raised type for the use of the blind.

mlnion by the Society during the past year amounted to 506.807 volum- es. this mini; the largest circulation in the Society's history; '

The great interest in the lncctings of this year wasfound in tQle ‘act that this year, 1929. completes thc fifth century of the life of thc pgrent society, the British and Foreign Bib- le Society. and the twenty-filth year of the Society‘; organization lll Can- ada. .-.

During the month of lifarch. a. Do- minion demonstration to mark this

‘fact was held in Toronto when a

great public meeting was held in. Massey Hell and representatives from] last and West ‘assembled to convey; their greetings to the parent society. ‘

Canada is ‘proposing this year to‘

puke a thank offering of not less ‘than $100.000‘ifor that expansion of bible Society fwork to iiiirlr the pass- Iing of “e0 imptyrtarfi bzlani mark. ' l lhemany 1* of the provinces, the lhare of the gift undertaken is al- ready well in hand and bcfore the cndof the year it Ls anticipated that thégirt 'i'ii"fuli Find probably much more will have been received.

In the agenda for thc Regina meeting. several matters of import- ance came up for consideration.

Warm tributes were paid to the life work of the late Rcv. Dr. W. B. Cooper. former General srcrctnry of the Society and wcll known to Prince Edward Island readers through frequent visits to this province.

A memorial tablet and oil paint- ing of the late Dr. Cooper has been let up in the Bible blouse in Tor- onto. -

Mr. Walter Shaw Ex. plains Importance of Live Stock Clubs At Rotary Meeting.

The following address on "Live

Stock" was delivered by Mr. Walter

Shaw before the Rotary Club yester-

day:

Boys and Girls Livestock Clubs

have become important organizations

in the development oi agricultural

prodliciion of a high standard within

the past few years. an are proving

as well a valuable med um through

which the social and intellectual life

of our rural communities may be lln-

proved. It is only in recent years that

consideration ha; been given to or-

ganizations of this kind. In the past

the expenditure ‘of Government

money through the various agencies

ir. operation fcr agricultural exten-

sion was concerned almost solely with

the ecpnomic salvation of "the esia-

blished farmer. or the older elements

i‘i the rural districts, while a great

measure of good restllted from the

ministrations of agricultural depart-

ments in ihis respect and many were

turned from the elTol‘ of their ways

to wiser systems of production. there

was still too high a precentage of

cases who r/greed with every policy

that was advanced’ but who never

made the slighlest effort. tc put them

in practice. The utmost efforts of

the agricultural agents, presented in

methods that ranged from the high-

est‘ form of suavlty and persuasive-

ness to nearly sirong arm methods,

were met with strong indifference.

The habits of a life time are not easily

changed. It is hard to convince a

man. who has performed his work

in a certain way for nearly a life

time, to change to some other method overnight. I. is a mostdifficult mat- ter to induce a. farmer. who has been producing for years a fine, fat. short. thick. good natured looking hog. to change for the long_ ylcan cut, some- v/hai. thin and more active looking bacon hog required under present day niorket conditions, or io see the necessity of ‘weighing and testing the lnilk oi each individual cow in his herd. in order to, eliminate the boarders; or to pay high prices for guaranteed seed, when just. as good appearing seed may be secured at lcsa ccst. A grown tree can be chang- ed bu‘. little in its shape and ap- pearance. but the sapling may be so trained as to make its form as one desires. '

Tile boy and glr in the pliant Age receives instruction with an open mind and enters upon the work out- lined with enthusiasm. It is no: dif- ficult tn eradicate wrong ideas and principles and supplant the progres- sive and improved standards and methods that are so crssntiai to a productive and profitable syszem of agriculture. Not. only is it. possible to register inlprcvemcnt in those directly under control, but, through them. others in the family and community are reached and respond to the in- flunce that radiates out from each club member. And so those who have had charge oi moulding agricultural policies recognizing these facts, and wishing to build more solidly for the future. have within recent years ap- proprialed through Agricultural De- partments in Canada and the United States large sums of money for the purpose of encouraging the format- ion and virile functioning of Boys and Girls Livestock Clubs. A great measure of success ha; followed the

thousands oi Clubs have been or- ganized. These Cluba take the form of Calf. Heifer, Swine and Poultry Clubs, and up to the present time about 20 have been developed in Prince Edward Island, the majority of which. and we will deal with these particularly to-day. have been oi the two former classifications.

Clubs are formed in any district where 10 members can be organized. A President and Secretary is appoint- ed in each Club. and the members are encouraged to conduct and trans- act and fully discuss their own busi- neaa and other problems relating to their work.

i The Cali Club problem is design- ed to establish a better system of feeding principles among our people.

» Calves. either pure-bred or grade,

are secured by elch member from parents or other PIJHQQ, and undu- the instruction of the livestock pro- moted a careful system of‘ feeding and handling is llld down. The mem- hers are rlquind ‘tto- follow this or any other doll-able system of feeding closely.’ weigh the feeds. practice re- gularity. and make a monthly report
