Dec." 19, 1934 STEADY IMPROVEMENT Those who read the classics and compare conditions as outlined therein with the conditions obtaining today will note lhat While there is in the world today the same sort of kifldllness and the same Wickedness, people today are not generally as bad as they wereand there is more of a spirit of helpfulness everywhere. There is at least a pleasant Veneer as a result of civilization. Today it is more fashionable to be kind than it was and this spirit of kindliness is spreading into every walk of life including business ahd industry. The Ottawa inquiry shows that there are plenty of men and women who are willing to take advantage of the con ditioivof their less fortunate neighbors to make profits out of them under most Undesirable conditionsThfe interest taken iri the inquiry and the hostility shown to those who are not doing the fair thing With their employees indicate that there is a general improvement in the moral sense of the people Public opinion is against wrong-doing and, as a general rule, strongly With those who wish to do the right thing. The difficulty is that the public is easily deceived and is apt to be changeable. . , .

The result is that managers and foremen and others carry out lines of policy which under ordinary circumstances would prove abhorrent. They have to live, they say, and for that reason they yield to the pressure from ttbove and blaiiie everything on the system. DUTY OF Til STATU In vjew of the rapacity of some, it becomes necessarv .

Bushfield was Inducted Into his pastoral charge by Rev. R. J. Love for the Presbytery of Prince Rupert. Dr. Osterhout gave the charge to the minister and Mr. Love the charge to the congregation.
