iy Canada Has Had 11 Premiers Since 1867 Conservative; : King's 13 Years in Office Are Exceeded Only by Sir John A. MacDonald's = 19 jer's 15 Years as Prime Min. ister YY The celebration of Prime Minis: ter Mackenzie King's 20th anni. versary as leader of the Federal Liberals, has caused W. L. Clarke, a feature writer on the Windsor Star, to review the facts about Canada's party leaders and those who have become head of the Government. He recalls that only four men have been official lead. ers of the Dominion Liberals since Confederation. They have been Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, Ed- ward Blake, Sir Wilfred Laurier . and Mr. King. Sir John A's Record Mr. King would have to win two more elections to equal the record of Sir John A. Macdonald, who served '19 years as Prime Minister of Canada. Mr. King has been Prime. Minister during 13 years. . 4 While Sir John A. holds the re- "cord for total service as Prime Minister, Sir Wilfred Laurier's 16 'years in office constitute th rec- ord for continuous service. Since 1867 there have been 11 Prime Ministers heading 16 ad- ministrations. Here is. where Mr, Kin holds a record; as ht is the only man ever to be Prime Min- ister three different times. John A. Macdonald, Sir Robert Borden" and Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen were all Prime Ministers twice, although Sir Robert's ser- vice was continuous, he having - transferred enroute from leading a Conservative to a Union Gov- ernment. 7 Three Are Still Living .

Real Ones Will Give Them A Sense of Responsibility There are many little things children may do around the house that will give them a sense of co- operation and responsibility and train them to use their hands and heads. It is not wise to "make work" for children, for this has an artificial effect, but one can plan authentic, satisfying short jobs that need to be done, then see that the children do them gare- fully and well.

Sunday School Lesson . . LESSON XII MICAR: A MESSENGER OF SOCIAL JUSTICE Micah 3:1-12; 6:6-8 Golden Text -- What doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, "land to love kindness, "and to walk humbly with thy God? Mic. 6:8. THE LESSON IN: ITS SETTING Time -- Micah prophesied from "about 735 to 715 B.C. , Micah, the sixth of the twelve minor prophets, was , a native" of the country, born about twenty miles southwest 'of Jerusaleiii. He was pre-eminently a prophet of the poor and a friend of the oppressed. Jerusalem In his time had become a hotbed of actions and intrigue. " The custodians of tho law abused thelr power; , nobles fleeced the poor; priests taught for hire, Com- merciallsm and materialism wero supplanting the ethical and the spiritual, Then Micah appeared, a. prophet of the people. Sins of the Rulers 1. And.I sald, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know. justice? 2, Ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck - off their skin from oft them, and thelr tlesh from off their bones; 3. who also eat the flesh of my peo- ple, and flay their skin from oft them, and break their bones, and chop them In pleces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the édldron. The people are likened to sheep who are-devoured 'by. the -shep- herds who should protect them. People are being similarly oppres- sed fn many parts of the world to- day, in Germany for Instance. 4. Then shall they cry unto Jo- hovah, but he _will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face trom them at that time, according as 'they have wrought ¢vil in their False Prophets Condemned Thus saith Jehovah concerning "the prophets that make my people to--err., Micah now turns to those who are in high spiritual places, the -prophets and priests of. the land that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace. And whoso putteth not into thelr mouths, they even pre- pare war against him, 6. Therefore it shall be night untd -you, that ye shall have ho vision; and It shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divide; and the sun shall go down upon the prophbts, and the day be black over them, 7. And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for 'there {8 no answer of God. These men will be more accountable in the day of judgment for what they have done, knowing better, thar will' those whom they have led astray, who knBw no-botter. "Div. {ners™ used incantations and other unlawful means of drawing men to God. : 8. But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment and' of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgres- slon, and to Israel his sin, ° Judgment<To Come 9. Hear this, I pray you, yo heads of the house -of Jacob, and rulers of the house of. Israel, that abhor - 4ustice, and pervert all equity, 10. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity, "With blood"means by cruel extortions, by graft, 11. The heads thereof to judge for reward, and the priests thereof teagh for hire, and the . | . wa . pro. ets there," divine for money; yet they lean -upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us. The - ecclesiastical and religious leaders of the people followed er- ror (thelr own desires) and led others after them, 12. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as & field, and Jerusalem shall be- come heaps, and the moduntain of the house as tho high places off a forest. The prophecy came 'rue, first 'at the capture by Nebuchad- nezzar. Judged By the Heart Mic. 6:6. Wherewith shall 1 come before Jehovah, and bow my- soll before the high God? Shall 1 como before him with burnt-offer , ings, with calves a year old? = 7. Will Jehovah be pleased with thou- sands of rams, or with ten thous- ands of rivers of oil? Shall 1 give . my first-born for my transgression, - the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? The prophet overthrows the _outward means of reconcilia- tion" with God, sacrifices and such, -reminding- the people of the nioral demands of the law. 8. He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; - and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do' justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?

She had just rac- ed off, tossing a rather flip remark over her shoulder. The other girls could have sald the same thing and provoked nothing but cracks back, but there was nothing but cold silence, till one girl said ifi a surprisingly ugly tone, 'She makes me sick--sho think's she's so very good!" "The girl under fire was axed to take up one of the popular sports this summer. To her delight she is quite good and tho older people, especially the men, are taking quite an interest in her on account of fit.

There are hundreds of legends about the rose in all lands where it grows, It is sald that the origin. al rose was white, and many stor- {es are toll to account for the red rose.
