5 responsible for ths whoie of st.This hospital hes also & well- furnished pathological laboratory end à staff of three assistants ducing the summer months.It has been aguin considerably improved and added to the addition for the Installation of à new X-ray outfit being the most important.This magnificent instaliation was bought at 26 percent of #s coet, and is the latest, must compact, and powerful outfit.The transformer gives us a current of 150.000 volts, and a beautiful picture with only 8 momentary exposure.It.was installed by my good friend and helper, Stanley Martin, who was acting as wireless on the \u2018Strathoona\u2019 who thereby saved us no little expense.1 was fearful that I coulé not afford the expense of the Marconi on board next year, though owing to the generosity of the company the instruments cost nothing, being loaned free- ty.But three hundred dollars for the salary of the operator was an item, ; even.though Mr.Martin, who, as well as being a first-class certified operator, is & medical student at Queen's University, In preparation for foreign medical mission work.was able to help out with patients.But the matter was complicated by his volunteering to donate his services, which we felt he could not really afford to do, as he must pay his college fees.This year also we had the services of Dr.Fowler, a nose and throat specialist from New York.There have been new nurees this year.Mtas Brown, who has done such good work as head nurse and matron, has left us, and Miss Cannon has taken charge.Our gratitude and goodwill follow these workers as they seek new fields.We constantly hear from old col leagues.many of whom, like Miss Kennedy and Miss MacMahon, have assumed such responsible positions In some of the most important hospitals tn the world.The anti-tubercular work has.been carried on locally at the hospital in the shack donated by the St.John's Ant!l-tubercular Soclety, and In tents, as well as open-air balconies and sunning galleries.This branch of the work, however, has been done far more extensively by Dr.Wakefield, himself a voluntesr.He remained all last winter in St.John's as headquarters, and thence visited all over the laland, lecturing, distributing literature, and generally superintending the teaching of teachers, work which, under the leadership of the Hon.John Harvey, has been doing much of incalculable value for the people.T have had school superintendents.visiting clergy, and others all tell me that they have seen of windows and better sanitary .conditions all around the districts where this work has been done.The numbers of patients, an amaly- vie of their troubles, treatment, and results.will as usual be Iss by Dr.in England after Christmas.Ta) tien 202 Fe St.Anthony\u2014In- ts , out-pe- tients 2.160, total 3,443: Indmn Har- bor\u2014In-patients 43, out-patients 462, total 808: Battle Harbor, about 800: gssihoons.Fortesu, Harrington, about 8 ft à to Dr.John Little\u2019 masterful mind for organizing.a8 well as to his ever- ing reputation as a surgeon, the , increas!

Rah! Rah!\" for them all The efficiency of transportation, and therefore range of action, has been greatly augmented by the gift of the beautiful \u2018Floradel, which now replaces the lost \u2018Andrew J.McCosh.\u2018This has given us heart again for next year, for she arrived a little too late to do much work this fall.The \u2018Pennsyivania\u2019 only got under weigh in September, though sho brought one load of lumber in July, she has earned about $200 working for others.Mr.Louls Fallon, of Pennsylvania, was a host in himseif, and for his heip and work both at St.Anthony and at Battle Harbor we give him grateful thanks.The forty H.P.Miamus engine is a real beauty.It was most generously donated by Mr.Avery, one of the owners and makers.She does credit as well to his ability as to his heart, and will be of increasing value to us as time goes on.Of the \u2018George B.Cluett\u2019 our friends know 80 much that I need only say that she is nobly performing her fune- tion.Except for her engine, which has not yet been a success, she iy everything ve could pessibly have desired, and under Captain Pickels she will do what we outlined for her, as a businesslike method of doing mis- ston work, viz, by renting her.and freighting with her in off-sessons, to enable r to bring all the supplies of the Mission not only direct, and without loss or brea but also free of cost.I should like here to mention that the generous donor has lately re caived his home call, and to all those who had learned to love him as wo had, IT should like to extend our sincerest sympathy, and an sxpreesion of gratitude for a life which has meant so much to us, and of which this beautiful vessel will long be a constant reminder.Our prayer is that she may carry the name as nobly as be did.As for hospitals, Battle Harbor comes next.Dr.Grieve has been very much more alohe than we could have wished.We have been able to pay him visits and to eend excellent student help.With Miss Contes aa matron, and Miss Bechtel, Miss Tompkins, and Miss Metcalfe, as nurses, ho has done plenty of good work as the statistics show.But a qualified medical officer to assist in the summer would enable him ta get about more to visit the sick to the north and soutn, who now cannot well get to him in tho fishing semson.It must be remembered also that most of Dr.Grieves year ia spent in travelling.He covers more coast line with doge in winter than any man in Labrador, and 1s away from his home and hospital for three months at a time.During this time Mrs.Grieve, herself a trained nurse.is able to, and most generously does, afford the help that Îles within her , and with her long experience that help is very real and efficient.The yaw! 'Pomiuk,\u2019 upon which he relies for visiting, has not been In commieston this summer.Some trouble with her cylinders has put her motor hors db combat\u2019 and her sailing powers are very poor.The students here have enabled the new badly needed water supply to be nearly completed.The drainaxs system needs money for completion.- -, (So be continued.) A NEW STATION IN AFRICA.The mission of the American Board in Angola, West Africa, rejoices in the establishment of & new station.This station has been in contemplation for 8 number of years, but its founding had beau deferred on account of financial and other considerutionw.The Canadian Congregational churches having raieed a fund of $10,000 for instituting a new work, the mission was able to proceed.After extensive ea- ploration, a mugnificent site was found at Doundi, which is 6,000 feet above sea level And has an unexampled climate for tropical Africa.The first nigbt after the missionaries er rived water froze to the depth of an inch, very greatly to the astonishment of the natives, who the morsels of ice from hand to hand, watching it melt with great gles.The anhukl meeting of the mission was held on the new site, and during a period of one week only two mosqu- toes were seen, a truly remarksble thing for Africa.Hers will be established, through the generusity of the Canadian churches, the central training Institute for the mission and In fact for the whole of Angole.« district as large as from New York to Chicago and from Lake Erle to the Gulf.The Institute, will combine Industrial, agricuitural, normal and theological courses, the object bang to equip native workers for all departs ments of the work.The Rev.William C.Bell will take charge pending the securing of a permanent principal.Already the mission has made magnificent progress In breaking down paganism and in building up Christian communities.The native chief, Kan- jundu, who has been converted, is & great asset.When this institute is well under way, the Gospel in bound to spread in Angola with great r&- pidity.\u2014delected.CHURCHES STATISTICS OF IN THE UNITED STATES.We find the statistics of the churches of the United States, compiled from year to year by the Rev.H.K.Carrol!, L1.D., of perennial interest This year the figures provided flit three pages In the \u2018Christian Advocate,\u2019 and provide much food for thought.In the United States there are 36,878,537 members of the churches, of whom 12,888,468 are of the Romish persuasion, leaving « large majority of Protestant Christians.All kinds of Methodists combined number 6,905,005.while Bapists of various numen are u close second With G,884.- 232, though Immeesionists (by including 1,407,545 Disciples), number 7,39L- 777.The 177 different denominations have 220,614 churches, which are serv.Unfaltering Faith - 0 Oo And ehall 1 fear 7 Have I not learned From chiidhood's years his tend'rest care?Whereer my wandering footsteps turned, Have 1 not feit his presence there?My Father!

SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHER.(BY THE REV.JOHN |.MARTIN) \u2018And some 4 4 tv, 1, Ideals are indispensable.The Hfe from which they are absent 1s dull and dead, and therefore useless.Ideals are forces.They are not meant to discourage us, but to command and inspire us.The following in an outline on the ideal Bunday Schon] teacher: The ideal Sunday Bchool teacher will have certain characteristics.He will he one in whose eye la à certain light, in whose soul are the fires of God's altar; he 1s one whose life fa not morally common or ordinary.There are distinot marks by which we may know the I Bunday School teacher.First.The Ideal Sunday School teacher is one who Le regular in his habits, and to whom an engagement 18 a strict matter of conscience, a sacred obligation never to be violated.Irregularity of eonduct works confu- slon everywhere, but is nowhere more prolific of baneful results than in the moral Raining of the young.We do a class of boys or girls great moral damage to be late or absent or unprepared without an excuse that will command the sanction of thelr moral nature.An lrregularity must not he lightly passed over.To be negligently lute breeds moral delinquency in pupils.To be inexcusably absent when a clase has every right to expect your presence can only result in the loss of respect und the weakening of confidence.A few breaches of good faith will rob the Bunday Echoo) teacher of what cannot be purchased with gold; it will take the moral edge off the most brilliant work.Good faith is & pre- requlalte of ideal Sunday School work.Second.The Ideal Sunday School teacher is, and always will be, a sanely positive, fully or Christian.I say sanely, because I have known Sunday School teachers who were positively Christian, but not sanely so, persons who have not been morally poised, whose emphasis of truths hus not been symmetrical; and I say fully orbed.because J have known Sunday School teachers who have not possessed any teachers.Eph full rounded conception of Christian | truth, souls In which there are great unknown tracts that have never been brought under the sanctifying quickening of God's Spirit and Knowledge.For instance, 1 have known Sunday School teachers whose sympathies with world evangelization must have been more gratifying to the god of this world than to Christ, and whose attitude toward the church of Christ could be accounted for only by & luck of knowledge concerning New Testament teaching.Again, in more than one country, 1 have known teuchers in Sunday Schools with whom the claims of Christ on thelr lives had never been allowed to reach the point of public confession.The ldeal Bunday School teacher cannot be an indeterminate, inconsequential Christian.The work in which he is does not permit of neutrality m spiritual things: it does not permit of silence; it does not permit of motal callousness and indifference.This work requires and compels personal testimony.The teacher must be a pesitive Christian.He must be a séalour Christian.He must be one who resiacs that the la- sues of llfe without Christ cannot be the same as the fssues of life with Christ, and !s therefore In dead emrnest to bring and keep every pupil under the reign of gruce.Faire, 1 have now infringed on the third mark of the ideal Sunday School teucher.He will be a sanely positive, fully orbed Christian, and he will possess a very living and realizing sense of the importance of his work.He will not be teaching simply \u2018to fill in.\u2019 \u2018to accommodate the superintendent, nor simply because the great majority of the church members have never come to the moral altitude of being interested, and therefore on account of the moral delinquencies of others he will just run down and help keep the thing along.The ideal Sunday School teacher carries no such atmosphere of martyrdom with him.He ls aware of the nature of his work, the restriction it puts upon his personal liberties.the foreclosures It makes upon h'a time, but there is a giory In his face and a chivalrous halo around all his actions, because he is conscious of the greatness of his task.The exhilaration of preaching is denled him, and, the public recognition he gets 1s scant, but he knows that there is no enterprise more promising than the one in wailoh he is engaged.To arouse, inform, direct a forming soul to great and ever-lesting Issues 1s a task which angels are declared to covet.Sensitive to the swiftness with which character is fixed, and aware of the religious peril If the years between fourteen and twenty are allowed to slip by without Christ, the ideal Sunday School teacher will feel himself to he crowned with opportunity and freighted with responeibility,\u2014really along with parents and pastor the man of the hour so far aa the destiny of a group of souls is concerned.Without this sense of the importance of the work it can hardly be expected that interest Will be sustained.A sense of worth precedes sacrifice and intelligent moral service.It is because the majority of our church people are not awake to the strategic dmportance of Sunday School work that they are not actively engaged in it.The urgency of the hour, so far as world evangelization fa concerned.cannot be overstated, but it will not de met 1f the youns are not enlisted for Sort.A fourth mark ot the ideal chool tear! se à coerc

ideal Sunday fichool teacher will ardently and assiduously apply himseif to the of the Btble messauke.He will not be disturbed by any Investigation into the conditions under which the Nterature of the Hible was formed, nor by any new Lgirt that may break in upon its mesmge or forth from ft.His moral intuitions will be always true enough to take him lrect to its religious and ethioal content.And that content he will seek to make cleur and vivid, living and powerful, in the minds of hia pupils.Fifth, A fifth characteristic of the {desl Hunday School teacher is this \u2014 he will be a close observer and stu- demt of the laws of the mind.\u2018Jesus went about to find on what alde human nature was most open to his appeals.The receptivity of his congre- sation wea his first study, rather than the art of setting out those immeasurable reserves of wisdom and knowledge he had brought into human life.Christ's mastery of human nature, equally with his mastery of the message he came to impart, was what made his aim secure and his efforts effectual.The steadiness with which, amid all the moral twists and distortions, he reached the native plet'es of the soul is one of the causes why we call him Master.In this particular.as In others, the ideal Sunday 8chool teacher will imitate his Lord.He will acquaint himself with the best literature on the psychology of teaching, and armed with this knowledge, he will become A close student of his puplis\u2019 bology.as well as their biography.An investigation into the antecedents and enviroument of his scholars will be constantly carried forward hy the ideal Bunday School teacher untll a most sympathetic \u201cunderstanding of their lives has bees, acquired.This will be done unperceived and unsuspected by the puplis or their people.But it must and will be dons Questions like these wiIlt he constantly recurring in the ideal teacher's mind: What 18 his father's mode of life?Is he addicted to vicious habits, and ts he the slave of low motives?Is his mother actuated In her conduct by elevated purposes\u201d?Moral education is largely by atmosphere, How about \u2018the home atmosphere of my scholars?What company do they keep?Few boys or girls by thelr unalded native ability rise above the constant pressure of a foul moral climate.For example, marriage, motherhood, fatherhood.can hardly come to mean a Sacrament to a boy or girl who has hardly Inhaled one holy inspiration on these great subjects.Again, a boy who has a father whose conception of business Is that it [s plunder, and whose idea of citizenship contains no ethical force, may not be expected to elevate business !deals or to raise the social tone of the country.The ideal Sunday School teacher therefore will take studious notice of the moral status of the puplls* homes, their ancestry.their present company, end in treating them this knowledge will be of \u2018n- estimable value.Certain Ingredients and modes of treatment will thus get into his teaching that would never get there otherwise.The ideal Sunday School teacher will divine his pupil's secret purposes, analyze the conditions under which they are moulded and formed.and Intelligently correct them until all things in the pupil's life have been made to correspond with the loftiest ideals.He will compass the whole life of his pupil in his sympathies, aim, and endeavor.Where it is feasible he will co-operate, complement, reinforce the home influence and the influence of every-day life.Where that js impossible because it is ungodly, he will engage the powers of God by prayer.fusting and personal endeavor to work the moral miracle of conversion and & changed environment.He will rejoice that God has given him an opportunity through the child of claiming the home for himself.You will catch my idea.A Bun- day Bchool teacher who stmply meets his class for one hour out of one hundred and sixty-eight, who gives no thought to how the puplis are to be treated, is only on the fringe of his task, and If he ia content with that, his task will never be accomplished.The ideal Sunday School tescher will seek to master the laws of imparting knowledge, and of causing the mind 10 form its own moral judgments and to come to Îta own moral decisions.He will know his pupils, thelr hereditary tendencies, their environment.and will treat them intelligently as well as earnestly.Sixth.The ideal.Sunday School teacher will keep In closest touch with als Church, and aim to bring \u201cis scholars intelligently to the Communion Table.1 have known Sunday Schools that kept up a sort of separate existence, in which the teachers and even the superintendent were but imperfectly attached to the church.The incongruity of this state of affairs Is ominous, and is possible only where imperfect and abnormal knowledge of what the Sunday School is Inatituted to teach and to do leads to & weak, faint conception of the relation of the church to Christ.The time has come when the idea of the church must he recovered in the Sunday School; otherwise the very purpose of the Sunday School ls defeated.A Churchiess Christ is a Christ with no visible re- tation to this world, and a generation not instructed in worship is like à ship without & sky and without a compass, which must (nevitably drift upon the rocks and go down.Reverence is at the bottom of faith and every other virtue, and without it there (a no virtue or pradse.\u2014and reverence is born, nurtured, and kept trong through worship.The ideal Sunday School teacher will be keen to regard this: he will have his class with him In the same church If at all ble, where old and young alike bow In solemn silence and rise in joyful praise before Almighty God.John said, \u2018Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the fruth' What greater joy can come to & Sunday School teacher than to be able to bring a class of toys or girla at the very opening of Nfe to the Lord'a table, knowing

classifies the more than 4- 000 students by religions as follows: Shinto, 8; Buddhist, 50; Christian 60; Atheist, 1,500; Agnostic, 3000, These figures reveal a condition of vast gig- nificance, showing that the educated classes of Japan have practically broken with Shintolsm and Buddhism and are looking aro for gpome better basis for ethies and faith.The issue in Japan is no longer between Christianity and Buddhism, but between Christianity and nothing.rere wiN THRE WILDS OF MINDANAO.Dr.Biblay, of the American Board, has staried & new school among the Mandayens, one of the wild tribes

tried, offered up Isaac.\u2019 THE STORY.In fulfilment of the promises of Jebovah a son had been born to Abraham, and Isasc had grown to man's estate.The story of the test of Abraham's faith te in many respects the greatest In all his history.The hour of his testing was the hour in which God admitted him to u fellowship with Himself such as he had never known before.\u2018The account given in our lesson is very simple and straightforward.It is perfectly true that it bas given rise to many difficulties, and to much controversy, but at the same time it abides as one of the greatest stories in the Old Testament, and one which makes an appeal to the heart of those who live by faith, which is in itself a remarkable proof of its truth.There are certain points that are worthy of especial notice.The first is that of the direct call of God.He arrested the attention of His servant as He spoke to him by name, This direct call was responded to by an equally immediate answer, \u2018Here am 1\u2019 \u2018Then in the most unmistakable terms he was asked to take the son whom he loved, and of course upon whom all his hopes depended, and to offer him for a burnt offering to Jehovah.In the account there is mo suspicion of hesitation on the part of Abraham, but rather en emphasis laid upon the quiet persistence of his obed- fence, as he Immediately started, and never ceased the forward movement until his son was bound upon the altar, and the knife was lifted for the taking of his life.On that pathway of obedience, which must have been one of suffering.his falth found perhaps fis mdpt remarkable expression tn words as, approaching the scene of the sacrifice, he turned to his young men, and said \"Abide ye here with the ass, and | and the lad will go yonder: and we will

and the Jad would worship, and that he and the lad would return again.This fs our warrant for accepting the testimony of the writer of the letter to the Hebrews, that even though Abraham did intend to take the life of his sen in obedience to the Divine command, he was so sure of Gnd that he knew that In order to the fulfilment of His promises, If necessary, his son would be raised from the dead.Further, let it be rememhered that the sacrifice was completed in the volitional and emotinnal lifetof Abraham.In that completion this man entered, even though perhaps he himself did nat understand to the full what he was doing, isto fellowship with the Divine suffering.When presently deliverance was wro , and he received his son from the dead in a figure, he entered into feliowship with the Divine triumph.In princl~ ple at that moment, the founder of the nation entered into fellowship with March 16, 1918, The Test of Abraham's Faith.Gen.=xit., 1-19.Golden Text\u2014I desire

Jehovah, not enly in His purpose ef redemption, but ia his method.Having passed through the experience, Abraham made & new confession us he calied the name of the place Je= hovah-Jireh.It was bis confession of the vindication of his confidence is Jehovah as One Who secs and thers fore Who provides.This confession was answered by & new confession on the part of Jehoval, which set forth his determination te bless and multiply this man, and that in his seed all the nations of the earth should be blessed.THE TEACHING.\u2018There are certain values of this story which are patent, while yet, per- ~ haps they are not easy to realize im the actuality of experience.It is pelf- evident that in the life of faith there must be no halt, but resolute obedience, however severe the demands may appear ta be.It is equally clear that where obedience is unhesitating and complete, the path of suffering leads .to larger life and fellowship with God.« Perhaps one of the things that needa\u2019 to be insisted upon, which yet is often lost sight of, is that such hours of testing must not be sought, by the men of faith.They are God arranged, and save as they come in the Divine programme they are not onty of ne value, they are entirely subversive of the principle of faith.To express this in the terms of the atory itself, had the offering of Isaac been a suggestion on the part of Abraham, it would have partaken of the nature of presumption, rather than of faith.What we need is that habit of readt- ness to respond to the call of God which will enable us to say, whensoever He shall call, \u2018Here am I, and will enable us further persistently to carry out His will, however severe the demands it may make upon us.The story is a wonderful revelation of how such hours as thess are indeed wholly within the Divine covenant, The time was chosen, the place Indicated, and thé whole procedure arranged, by Jehovah.The Divine meaning of such hours is undoubtedly that of the amazing activ- itr of grace, whereby God opens the door hefore the trusting soul, which leads ta the communion with Himself In the very deepest things of his bes ng.lr THE GOLDEN TEXT.The golden text reminds us anew of the principle upon which alone men can enter that open door.The done Itself 1x ever that of sacrifice and suffering.Tt 1s constantly a way of death to all the highest hopes and s2- pirations of tha life, when considered from the standpoint of human sight and human wisdom.Ry sight thers can be no ohedienca.Tn apuse to calculate the probable results of the action will be to refuse obedience: that Is.of cours, when faith In Gnd is not the light within might, and the final argument in calculation.Faith is certainly of God, and an absolute conviction that He must full His envenant even though He do so hy contradicting what men refer te as the natural order.Such confl- dence and such conviction constitute the courage of =oul which enables men to go forward.however dark the day.6.CAMPRELI, MORGAN, DD.(Copyright: McClure Newspaper 8yn.dicate.)

presence of the lute Governor General, had extended its ramifications to the ends of the Dominion\u2019 «as never in existence.It was not, therefore.uscd or given cohesion by those conducting this inquiry.Some months later similar student-groups were formed in other Canadian cities, and the whole orgunization became known as The Round Table Society.The members were \u2018carefully handpicked\u2019 in the sense that representatives of both pul- tticul parties and of all possible opinions were chosen.The story of the American wife is not merely n oh vious absurdity, but gives an impression as to the character of the So- clety which fs the exact opposite of Empire.the truth, far the principle of The Round Table NRocirty as of the Round Table Quarterly is that It should stand

\u2018Witness.\u2018) sir, \u2014 Having noticed several litile skits in your paper recently with refer.ehce to woman's love of dress, 1 would like to ask the man who feels aggriev- od that he must go through life alone because he cannot afford to dress 4 woman as she would want to be dressed, that while he cun dress himself ou $200 à year, she would require $2,000: if such are the facts (7) whom should he blame?Do women dress to please themselves, tu please each other, or, to piease the men\u201d 1 think he will admit that they dress primiarily to attracs the attention wn admiration of men In general before they are married, and then to pleure their husbands afterwards.1s she foolish in trying to make her- seit look pretty that she may catch 4 husband\u201d Has not the decree gme forth that woman's place is in the home, a home over which she presides us mistreas and her hushund an master.Then.if this be the case, inasmuch as it is the pretty butterfly of fashion who attraois the average anclety man, rather than the one who follows Paul's udmonition, It would seem that rhe bas no choice but to meet the demand as far as possible.And if 8 man thinks he can't afford to drese her as she has been accustomed to dress, let him pay less homage to the outward adorning and pay more to the hidden graces of head and heart.ne more thought in this connection.Even after the woman ls married she fs not left to her own discretion in this matter nf dress, but in admon- ixhed that as rhe Won so she must continue if she would hold.I asked a man the other day who waa complaining about the extravagance of women in dress, raying: \u2018A msn of average salary could not afford to marry nowadays.\u2019 if he did not think it was seif- {sh for à man to spend his money on tobacco and liquor?He said he didn't know as he did: If he earned it she had no reason to complain.I happened to know that his wife said she would be glad to save, but he wouldn't, and she thought that the more she could get for the home the better for them all.This leads to ancther thought.The oid idea that a man supports his wife C3 largely to blame for his selfisiness.use he supports hee the earninze are hia, though it may be she has dono the most of the earning.Because hs supports her she should obey him just as though she were a child.It is no inolated case that J have In mind.1 meet it at every turn, and the sad part of it all is that they quote the Bible as authority.Mr.A.W.Anderson\u2019s repudiation of Amy Duncan and woman suffrage In is 8 sample of what 1 hear io often.1 think some of the sisters are foolishly servile in their married rela.tipn.The time has gone by when Gris.elda, one of Chaucor's heroines, is held up a8 & pattern of.wifely submirsion, bécause she wan willing to be

education.Well, T cannot say that | have ever known It tw be so.There are many drawbacks that educatiun cannot cure.First, there is no eight-hour day on the farm; the hired man Is expected to work ten houre and attend tu his team night and morning besides, and More than that in harvest time.The farmer and his wife work early and late an a rule, su does the grown-up son or daughter; and younger ones have to help.The farmer will make very reusonable calculations and have them very badly upset in various ways He runs the risk of wet or dry seasons, rust, frost, blight and vermin; loss or Injury of stock by disease or accident, or want of proper shelter, cure and bedding; tear and wear of costly Im- plementa and machinery with other running expenses; the fluctuation of market prices: the middieman's com- Mmuslon; dinstance from church and school, etc, WHY FARMS ARE BOLD.Just suppose a rather large farmer with a growing family; some of them mare inclined for study than hard labor, while he, 100, may prefer an easier life.Ro he sells his farm for $10,000, gutting $3.000 down and a ruort- Eure for $7,000 hearing b percent interest, while stock, implements, ma- mory, etc, make $2,000 more; total O00.L'oming to Toronto he buys an acre of land outside the city limits, and bLutlda 4 decent house, the whole cout, perhaps, $4,000, leaving him 35,000, 5 percent on which gives $400 a year.With care and ecunomy he can live on (hat and his arre of land, and educate hie family, preserving the principal.LC not, he ets a good wage for eight hours work.It the city takes ia the suburb his property gains In value; If not, he only pays a country tax.The buyer of the farm loses § percent on 83,000 pald, and pays $350 of interest on the $7000 mortgage, total 3500, an enurmous rent In the shape of interest, besides taxea and statute labor; for an ordinary rent is from 3 to 4 percent of the market value.I know of a splendid farm.with fine buildings rented ut 3 percent of its value.The owner moved into town.He worke more or less for wages, but not of necexsity, 1 think.The farm Ia rather far from church and school.T know à man who was working # Curl on shares and wished to buy it.Tf he could have got money on a first mortgage at 4 or 4 1-2 he was safe to do so; he found it would cost him 5 1.2, so he drew back.I know a man who rented a smell farm yearly for about 4 percent of its value, and went to the city.He had saved a good few hundreds which he has safely 1n- vested at 6 percent.du the rental ani the interest he finds that he can live with much more eaxe and comfort in the city than he ever did on the farm, and still preserve the principal.WHAT CHEAP MONEY MIGHT DO, I know of two deserted homesteads (middling good bulidings) on third class farms, one is sold, the other rented, mostly for pasture.Both farms could be made second class with cheap money.If rulers and wise men want people to go from cltics and towns back to the farms, they must in some way provide money at 4 or 4 1-2 percent for the farmer, and reduce the tariff on the many, many things that ve must buy.It scems that busi- neas principles do not secure the great- ent good for the greatest number.In Canada a vast amount of cheap money is borrowed from gibroad to build ships of peace and war\u201drailways, canals, and all sorts of public works in towns and cities, and protéction is given to all sorts of manufactures.In this way multitudes are being drawn to city and town instead of being employed In the country where little or no cheap money I5 being spent for the help and en- ceuragement of agriculture, and where protection is a pretence unless home production becomen less than home consumption, which is just the thing the government should wich to prevent.as it is one principal cause of pressnt bigh prices.ch GETTING BACK TO THE FARM.Can the government do anything then to entice the workers back to the farm?They may do well at other work while borrowed millions are being spent, but it seems to me that where we find great and populous cities and a thinly inhabited country something is wrong.Most farmers cannot afford to send their boys to any agricultural college.It needful information could be given in the common schools it would be much hetter.And thers are many farmers who have money in the banks bearing 3 percent interest.Is there no Way in which the government could handle such money, lending it to poorer farmers at 4 or 4 1-2 percent, and securing the fnvestors against loss or fraud?If not, could à farmer's combine not do something In that way?It looks to me as if the bankers whn buy the use of money for 3 percent, and sell the use of it to farmers for 6 and 7 percent, were the worst kind of middlemen.I may be told that if the government were to borrow money at say 4 percent, and lend it to the farmers at 4 1-2 percent to lift mortgages and improve land, and hold a lien upon the land in some Way til all was repald, it would be an Indirect bonus for agriculture.Well, why not?If it would cost the g vernment nothing, but rather give some profit, would It not be better than bonusing tndustries that do not properly belong to Canada in the nature of things.Has there not been too much done In the way of direct or indirect bonusing, largely at the expense of the farmer?But If there be reasons why the government should not attempt suc scheme, then let ux have a bonus for gnod roads, agricultural education In common schools, etc, and reduce the tariff on implementa, machinery, eto.1 think the farmers might as well have isolated risk, trust and loan companies as isolated risk fire Insurance compan- les.À certain writer said lately that the agricultural vote is near about two.thirds of the whole vote, and If the farmers are divided against themselvns they must blame themselves, or words to that effect.Would he have them to combine in order to control the government?Or create a third psrty?Leave shat n reserve at present and ot us have the parcels post.am in with Mr.Bramley, JAMES C, WHYTE.Toronto, Feb.24.1912, \u2014 Note.\u2014The Government cannot make money cheaper any more than It can make farm produce bring more money.The difficulty about the government lending money on landed credit is not so much that it le wrong to bonus agriculture, which would be at least As right as to bonus industries with the farmers\u2019 money, whether by protection or directly.The difficulty is that land is not a security on which government can rely.In many cases the interest would not be paid, and no government would be wliling to 1e farmer off his land.Indeed, if It did, ft would often find that the land would not bring the forty percent of the ap- pralsed value on whirh the money was lent.Land credits have never been considered either good banking or good government business.The government could, however, give better Interest on saving bank deposits greatly to the encouragement of thrift.A very good

resistance to which Mr, J.E.Mcln- toah takes exception in the \u2018Witness, save me much satisfaction.Mr.Me- Intosh evidently cherishes a Very prevalent idea of Christianity, declaring that the

statements have no force that I can see\u2014.even though he meana that the non- resisters would have been annihilated hy the fighters of mankind: for he must remember that God could not expect men to be subject to Christianity before Christ's time, and that after many ages of preparation Christ came in due time\u2018 when lt was possible for man to live up to His high standard of sel(-sacrifice.and achieve the greatest possible results for righteousness by so doing.Witness: \u201cThe blood of the martyrs, which is the reed of the Church.\u2019 Also all the self-snerifice and noble non.~esistance, even unto death, of the missionaries to the Cannibal Ja- lands and such fields where farce would have been utterly uscliess in winning hearts for Christ, If our churches had more of this spirit of self-sacrificing love to-day their work would count for vastly more than it does, 1 think, for all \u2018Chriu-* tian\u2019 conquest must depend on winning hearts.Christianity is, as taught by its founder, not a warfare, except in a strictly spiritual sense.And T do @t believe Mr McIntosh can produce any Keripture in support of his contention.The Christian {dea in that \u2018they who take the sword whall perixh by the sword,\u2019 and thelr worka perish with them: while those that trust entirely to God's vindication of seif-sacrifticing love shall win endless success and re- ward, Mr.McIntosh says it is either \u2018unnatural or cowardly\u2019 to refuse to strike in defence of those committed to ona's care \u2018Unnatural\u2019 It certainly is\u2014 Christ's law of love fs away above nature\u2014but surely he would not call Christ and his noble band of martyrs \u2018cowards.\u2019 As for \u2018submitting without a struggle to injustice,\u2019 does anyone expect a Christian of any kind to do this?There in plenty of room for atruggle and work and bloody aweat without working physical injury to one\u2019s enemies.As for the matter of presen*-day contribution towards national defence, etc.of course no such thing as a spiritual Christian nation exists, because no nation has a majority of really spiritually Christian people, and government 1s by majority.We here in Canada ought to pay our first debts to the state (as did Christ), and it seems to me a mere matter of chivalry to contribute to the navy that has ail along been defanding our Interests by policing the seas without a hint regarding a contribution.We must deal with the bitter facts as they are, But I have not a doubt that If a nation existed that was thor- oughlv \u2018Christian\u2019 as many historical individuals have been, that mation could lay down its arms and refuse to strike a blow in self-defence and tr).umph ultimately over all foes by the sheer force of its devotion to the aN- conquering law of love as expounded and practised by the Christ.of the whole conference was the repnr\u2019 on co-operation This was presente! by Bishop Lefroy, whose appointm to the Hishopric of

Legge (Small, Maynard & Company).The suthor assumes that not 10 know him is to argué one's seit unknown, though in fact the british \u2018Who's Who' sheds no light upon him.Ho ssems on the internal evidense provided by the book te de à British \u2018so- clety journalist,\u2019 and even for many years conductor of some sort of & British soctety journal, though rather of the tuft humting thas of the scandal mongering variety, which, so far and on the whole, Is undoubtedly to his snd ite credit.Also, he seems to have snjoyed the ncquaintance, he would perhaps prefer to have it said the intimacy, of the Jate King of England not only during the decade of his ac- tug! kingship, but during a good many of the latter years of his princely ap- prentioeship.By these titles, dven if fie does not make them out very clearly, he seems entitled to a hearing.Somewhere along in the earlier part of the volume he assures his readers tnat the pubdlication of M3 work within threes months after the publication, in the sscond supplement of the \u2018Dictionary of National Blography,' of Sir 8id-.ney Lee's article upon the monarch ia question is a mers coincidence.Apparently he means to assure the reader that his Book, such an it is, stands on Its own bottom and has Its own sub- mantive value, such as it is.The reader, it experienced.simply Nes te 1ay in a pinch of salt along with this assurance, For not only is the preface, occupying six pages of fine type, which If amplified into the generous type of the body of the volume would spread out into three or four times as.many, expressly deviied to controverting the very definite article.The chapter \u2018A Relittling Blography.' ostensibly devoted to the same purpose, constitutes about a sixth of the total contents of ta hody of the volume, The two circumstances, when combined.would suffice to justify charsctérising (ne volume as & reply to the article.The conscientious reviewer of the volume finds himuelf forced to resprt to the article at a very early stage of his proceedings.\u2014 L This is not the first time that an terization of ir Biijah Impey.in Ma- cauluy's essky on Warren Hastings elicited tuo thick volumes of viadics- tion from Fitajames Stephen.Though the vindicator was himself an excel- leat writer, he found it as impossible to contend against the pen of Macaulay as, according to Macaulay's account, in the essay in question, Philip Frankis found it to contesd ugainet -that of Mustinge.Such was Mecau- lay's knack in the art of putting things that the vindication fell stillborn from the press, and whoever now recalls the name of Impey at all recalls it in connection with the contemptuous dlsmis- sal of him: \u2018The Chief Justice was sich, quiet and Infamous.\u2019 This in hardly mors than aa obiter dictum in the essay.It is very different with the biography of Bdward VH.This, though professedly onlv an article In a biographical dictionary, ix In effect à book.It is of some 80,000 words, to begin with, and it asemx as welt worthy of separate republication ss the sume author's life of Shakespeare In the same admirable work.The \u2018Shakespeare\u2019 has bocs ever since its publication \u2018standard\u2019 The \u2018Edward the Seventh\u2019 ax distinctly alms at being accepted as such.The \u2018Bhakeupere\u2019 at once upon lle separaty publication made the reputation of its author as a model blug:apher of his kind.It contained whatever is certainly known about its subject and carefully distinguished that from what may be more or less plausibly conjectured.Buch a discussion as that upon the Elizabethan sonnet had enough of novelty to commend it to the scholars best acquainted with the literature of the period.It really destroyed a huge collection of hypotheses which had grown up about the sonnets of Shakespeare, which had come to De accepted as biographical documents of high value.it was a much -impler matter in Shapespeare\u2018s case than in that of Edward VII, to disentangie what was known from what was only guessed, the volume, alike of knowledge and of rumor, being in the latter cass so enormously grester.Bir Bidney Lee took the strictly his.terical view of the case of the mov.ereign as of the case of the poet.That is to say, he treated his subject as Hf he had been dead for gemerations Instead of for à few morths or years, and without attempting to manage the eusoeptibilities of any survivor.It isthe only tenable viet: to take.the only one which will not incur the danger of producing « worthless result.Yet the gravamen of the biographer's offence 1s precisely that he tock it, and that he applied to the biographer Cicero's maxim about the orator, \u2018that he should dere tv say anything that Is true aad that he should not dare to say saything that is feles\u2019 Not that thero te or sould be amy pretemce.that he bas gone ato tattle and scandal mongering.On the contrary, ane finds the dignity and disoretion of the biography on this point quite perfect; sad they are not (mpeached.Indeed,.It may be questioned whether his rètic- ence has not impaired his aarretive A biographer cannot, nor (#8 it pretend.of thet be can, ignore & scandal which has made its way Into @ court of Jie.tee aud of revord, as was thé cas with the Mordaunt scandal in Edward Vite early manhcéé and with the Trandy Croft scandal \u2018n Nes riper years.But the enoyolopaedia biographer handled these things in a strictly historiest *pirit and fa & manner which could give nobody \u2018ust offence.It is because this was his spirit .that & Londen .swepsper madd Keeif article has provoked a book.A charac- | ridiculous by acsusing the biographer of \u2018gaucherie and tactiossness, of vin- lating the respect due to \u2018tha august Majesty of death\u2019 (the King had heen dead two years when the \u2018life\u2019 appesr- ed), and even with supersrogatory silliness compared Miam to (he man who Wordsworth declared \u2018would peep and botanise upon Lis mother's grave.To which 8ir Sidney Lea conteated himself with pointing out that the dietion- ary, of which he was the editor as well as a contributor, was a work of historical reference, which exists to furnish the historical student with carafully tested facts in aa conciw » form an la consistent with completeness.\u2019 n The specific points made against the blography by its present assailant are againet the assertion that King Md- ward was not a studious or intellectual person and that bnoks bored him, the assertion that his Influence upon (he course of political \u2018events, foreign as well as domestic, was at no time important, and the assertion that \u2018The King was never long estranged from his nephew:\" the German Emperor.This third point the apologist really seems to make good.His discussion of it is perhaps the most interesting part of his volume.After Bismarek's fetirament the Prince of Wales that was then ia reported to have said at Herlin: \u2018We put up with a lot trom the old man, hut we shail nat put up with 6 much from his successor,\u201d though It does not appear whether he had in mind the titular successor in the Imperial Chancellery or the successor in the actual government of Prussia and of Uermany.The climax was reached when, after the Tranby Croft business had reached the publicity of « trial, the Kaiser took upon himself to administer dineip Ine to his princely uncle, (A his capacity of honorary \u2018Colonel of Prussian Hussars.\u2019 for becoming \u2018embroiled in a gambling squabble and playing with men young enough to he his sone.\u2019 Flesh and blood, whether .r not royal fiesh and blood, really coul\u201d mnt be expected to stand that.One is got surprised to learn that Queen Vicloris was sven more indignant than her son, the more «0 ns thé facts upon which the Kaiser's \u2018reprimand\u2019 was based could not be dented.The Prince's awn attempt to attenuate them in a letter to the Archbishop of Cant \u201cbury is perhaps the most discreditable thing that la known about him.°I have a horror of gambling, and should glways do my utmost to discourage others who hsve ar in- cilnstion for It, as 1 consider that gambling, like intemperance, Is one of the greatest curses which a country could be afflicted with.There was a gnod deal of hypocrisy and humbug In the attacks om the Prince for doing what everybody among his sssocistes equally did, but thers.was no more hypocrisy and humbug in any of the attacks than ia this amazing defence.The best defince possible was made for him by & newspaper, which remarked: \u2018If we maintain hereditary princedom and give our heir-apparent nothing whatever important or interesting to do, we must not pretend Lu be surpris- cd and shocked if, to adopt lord Coteridre'a cuphemism, the Prince does not spend his whole day ia reading the Bible) Throughout Sir Sidney Lee's bdio- graphy, and even throughout this present volume, It is evident that during his sixty years af apprenticeship to thé trade of king, the Prince was in situation which a more active minded man would have found intolerable.As Bagehot eays in \u2018The English Constitution,\u2019 \u2018All the world and all the glory of ii, whatever is moet attrsc- tive, whatever is most seductive, has always been offered to the Prince of Wales of the day, and always will be; it is not rational to expect the best virtue where temptation is appiled in the most trying form at the frailest time of human life.\u2019 Bagehot saw much promise and potency of good in & constitutional coverelgn who minded his business and came to the throne early.\u2018The case Is worse when he comes to it old or middie aged.He is then unfit to work: he will have spent the whole of youth and the first part of manhood in idieness, and it Is unnstural to expect him to labor.A pleasure loving lounger tn middie life will not begin to, work as George III.worked or as Prince Albert worked.\u2019 The inherent difficulties of the posj- tion were enhanced in the case of Edward VIL.by the extreme jealousy of the Queen, who refused from the be.gining of har widowhood, when he was 20, to admit hin to any share of her political confidence or of.her public counsels.In his blography Sir Sidney Lee very properly emphasizes this important fact, and even retains the Queen's itallcs In the declaration she wrote In those early days of the widowhood: \u2018And no Aüman power will make me swerve from what he decided and wished.I apply this particularly as regards our children\u2014
