He has gathered: doubtless from his eldest bro- thers, who bring it from the Dubie schools, university and navy, a lot of slag, and has horrified his mother by his_apt use of it. Recently, while motoring with the queen he was rebuked for. his use of slang, and particularly for his use of the!'word "kids," as applied to children. At that he thought the thing was over- done, and pointed out that all boys talk- d about "kids" and "what else would a fellow call them?"

The Vancouver Ships ards are very busy, and are likely to be so for some time. At present a new power schooner for thé Hudfon's Bay Company is being built.

The. British Columbia Govern- ment will hold its first sale of public property in Fort George next May. Some 2,300 lots will be auctioned, and it is expected that $2,000,000 4 will be realized.

Koch, a well-known lumberman, has built a big flume on Robson Creek, which will take six million feet of logs down to the Little Slo¢um River next spring. This will solve the problem of get- ting timber from heretofore inacces- sible sections in the mountains. At a meeting of the B.C. Dairy- men's Association, it was stated that middlemen were making more profit out of milk than either the producer or retailer. In some cases, it was.said, the milk ad- vanced over 100 per cent. in price after it reached the hands of the middlemen. City Analyst Birch, of Victoria, told the British Columbia Dairy- men 's; Association that 95 per cent. of the milk cans coming into Victor-, ia over the railways were unsealed, and the contents were often tam- pered with by parties who had a partiality "for 'cream.

There went with hin The route taken by Jesus from mt pernaum to Jerusalem was a cif- cuitous one. See Luke 13, Dra 11:18. 31; 19. 11, 28. The journey seems to have occupied ceveral months, edding with his triumphal entry. Here, asin cther places, it is. mentioned 'that great multitudés followed him. Some did so from idle curiosity, others with more ar, less interest, but with little under- standing of what discipleship . meant. Believing that they should know what was involved in casting, their lots with him, he turned to' them and delivered the discourse contained in our lesson. 26. If any man . hateth not his own--Jesus here refers to cases in which a choice must be made bé- tween love of kindred and loyalty ta Christ (compare Matt. 6.7243 10. 37). Jesus often thus stated a prin- ciple in a startling way. 27. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross--Bearing the cross! is "mentioned only twice in the New Testament ; here, where it is used figuratively, and in John 19. 17, where it is used literally. Jesus meant that the disciple must be willing to 'suffer martyrdom if ne- cessary. Putting to death by cruei- fixion was so common in Christ's time that his hearers had no doubt often geen men "carrying the cross.' By two illustrations Jesus points out that becoming a disciple is'a serious "matter not to be' entered into thoughtleesly or without' eon- sidering the probable outcome: 28.

A king with a smaller fo might possibly 'win a battle, butt case manifestly calls for careful do- liberation. In the Christian life, power of eadurance. is as important as the building material. 33. Renounceth not all that ho hath--Through all the history of the Christian church there have heen. those who have been called upon to actually renounce all their, pgsses- siohs for the sake of the gospel. All Christians are asked to be ready, to do =o, that is, to subordinate earth" ly "claims to those of Christ i the two are incompatible. 31. Salt--Discipleship, or the spi=, rit of self-sacrifice and service, pe- ferred to in the preceding Verses. Salt which has lest its' eavor is hére the discipleship which has lost the spirit of self-sacrifice and service for Christ's sake. 35, Cast it out---Tasteless 'galt would be absolutely worthless.)
