proclaiming to everyone that they are religious,

In last year’s election campaign, one party in particular used
this tactic with some success. This year the other three major
parties have suit and r ives of them all are doing

Of course we do believe that our political parties. should uphold

believe as he pleases as far as matters of the spirit are concerned.
By so doing they are assuring’ us that one of our most basic fnee-
doms — freedom of conscience — will not' be taken away if they are
given the reins of the province.

But our politicians now go farther. They are telling us that their
party stands for Faith, Hope and Charity and true Christianity. To

Those who are religious persons, don’t go around the country

The Effects

So engrossed have we become
in impressing one another with
our “sweetness and light” and so
vast and expensive has the fac-
ade become that the art of plain
thought and speech has become
lost. I can't imagine anywhere to-
day, the plain frank speech which
was supposed to have occurred
between D, Webster of dictionary
fame and a young lady sitting
next to'him at a banquet.

“Dr. Webster, you smell.”

“Young woman, will you ever
learn to use correct English? You
smell, I stink.”

Suggestiveness, the half-sister
of prudery, has involved our lit-
erature, shows and newg. stands,
Euphenisms both ‘in the’ artfully

artless ads or. in.. common

.}and particularly. political speech,

have . almost smothered honest
speech and writing. And without
writing or speaking there can be
no thought. Pascal said “Man is
but a reed, the weakest in nature,
but he is a‘'thipking reed.” If we
