Co operation versus competition in Christian justice
In a May address Rev. J K Archer compares co operation and competition through Christian ethics. He argues competition wounds virtue while co operation embodies Christ like service, cites Owen and Rochdale, and notes the Napier Co operative Bakery pledge as a test of true coop spirit. He offers no answer, urging listeners to decide by Jesus law and the golden rule.

Forests and woodlands supply squeeze fuels afforestation need
Dr John Nisbet argues in the new edition of Forests and Woodlands that Britain's 1907 imports of hewn pit wood and wood pulp totaled about £6.86 million, with demand rising and forests dwindling.
