On many points, the Labourite Right and Left Wings do not see eye to eye, but, fortunately for the Gov- ernment, the coal mines issue is not one of them; whilst the Con- servatives are decidedly split just now on the fiscal question. To revert to Thursday's House of Commons debate, it is probably all for the best that the Government did not suffer defeat. At the present moment, when the Naval Conference is in progress, a huge responsibility would rest on any Party which threw the Labourities out of office.

WHO WAS.

ST. CRISPIN?

In the early history of the Christian church its priests and teachers frequently practised some trade or craft, by which they supported themselves while preaching the Gospel.

St. Paul was a tent-maker, so the New Testament tells us, and according to tradition, St. Crispin the patron saint of: shoe-makers was himself a

shoe-maker

Crispin and his brother Crispian were born in Rome in the third century. Being con- verted to Christianity, and feeling a call to apostolic work they journeyed through Italy and France, preaching and finally settling at Soissons. The written annals of those days are few and scanty, and it has Been pointed out that since the Greek and Latin words for s

shoc, "crepis" and "credpida," bear a marked resemblance to the saint's name, it is possible. that Crispin, is a fictitious per sonage. W
