Canada imports somewhere in the neighborhood of sixty million dollars' worth of coal in a year, so that the sugestion that the bringing in of | something over two million dollars worth from Russia would somehow disturb the harmony of the spheres does not seem altogether reasonable and isn't it a fact that Russias good will might be vastly more valuable to us than any amount of coal, no matter how badly we might need it. ODD PUSSIES By Daisy M. Moore Pussies clambering up bare branches On a chilly bright March day Never seem to mind the weath- er As the bushes bend and sway. Frisky March harm them ; : Through their silken, silver winds cannot fur; Pussy Willows all are happy But they never never purrl The Sin of Jndas It is rather remarkable how those early disciples of Jesus have retained their hold upon the thought and interest of the world for all these centuries, There have been more Lives of the apostle Paul probably thin of any man that has ever lived, save of Jesus himself, and new ones still continue to come out almost every year. That whole group of men, in no sense remark- | able save that they bore a peculiar relationship to Him whom they called Master, has never ceased to kindle the imagination of Christian people through all these twenty centuries, and the studies and ex- positions and homilies on them could not possibly be enumerated. About one in that littla group very little has been sald, save that he has been help up to universal execration, his deed of treachery in betraying his Master being general.' ly held as'a type of all that was base and diabolical in human char acter. Because Judas' sin was such a monstrous one it has generally not been thought of as having any very close relationship to ordinary human life, same as it presents a tragic and terrible warning of the lengths to which human selfishness and baseness will sometimes lead, By common consent he has been named the arch-traitor of all his. tory, the one man for whow thoughts of mercy and charity are not for a moment to be entertain- ed. But here and there in our own time one sees signs of a questioning of this attitude of universal con- demnation, and a disposition _ to search into the nature of thig sin that has been called the great sin of history. And {t must be admitted that that searchng has brought » sense of disquietude and misgiving. When we look into the true inward. ness of Judas' sin do we not find it to be this: a growing distrust of the methods by which Jesus was seeking to bring in His Kingdom and a growing impatience with Him for refusing to adopt other and more practical and rational {deals We have no reason to think that Judas' discipleship was a mockery from the beginning; it probably had quite as much sincerity in it as bad that of any of the others. But he had come to the place where Jesus' way of patient goodness and endur- ing love seemed futility and foolish- ness, and he determined to try a way of his own. It doesn't look as If Judas' sin was such s terribly unique one after all; what else is any man guilty of when he says that Jesus' gospel of love cannot be made to work in a world such as nurs is, and the beatitudes and the Jolden Rule sentimental nonsense! -The New Outlook. -------------- THAT COLOR LINE A writer in one of the English vapers, an Indian who has been spending some years in study in Lon. don, speaks in very appreciative terms of the general courtesy and friendliness that he has recelved, not- withstanding the fact that the color line is sometimes drawn quite offen- sively in the world's capital, He makes a special point of the fact that that church people never failed in this matter, Canada is a country of great na- tural beauty to which has been add- ed the handiwork of the landscape larfist and the horticulturist, afl || yet there fs much to be done Be- fore the country assumes the ma [ture charm of some of the elder lands. With the progress of time, hiow- ever, tho making of gardens and the embellishment and extension of parks becomes more pronounced, It is necessary only to not the grow. ing importance of the horticultural soclety movement and the increas. ing activities of individuals and communities to see how widespread fs the interest in outdoor beautifi- caflon and improvement. One has only to look about to ob- serve that these improvements re- late not only to the home grounds, but also to industrial environments and to the reclamation of waste places. Offending scenes, also, in many localities are being trans. formed into objects of civic pride. The movement is neither urban or rural; it is both, taking in the country home as well as the town dwelling. Nor is it local or provin- cial, as it embraces the whole Do- minion from coast to coast and ex- tends from the southern boundary to regions in the far north, where even in the Yukon some of the fin- est gardeny are to be found. It 1s to give impetus to this high- ly desirable tendency that the Can~ {| adian Horticultural Council fs set- ting on foot a movement for the greater beautification of Canada, The Ornamental Horticulure Con- [| Ffiittes of this body, under the dis rection of Dr. W, T, Macoun, Do- minion Horticulturist, A has taken L] = provinee, convened or direct fled by the Minister of Agriculture Horti2ulturist, have commtttes formed in | not a pair. "Where is his mate," he asked a Plan To Make Canada A More Beautiful Cour try tawa, it is expected, will carry the work down through the hortieul- tural socleties to even the remotest poiuts that are reached by thelr numerous membership. The work that hag been plan- ned to be carried out will include the improvement not only of the homes, but parks, railways and highways. Special attention will be given to reviving interest in the cleaning up and the suitable orna- mentation of cemeteries. In keeping with modern practice the Council has adopted a suitable slogan "Beautify Your Home Grounds and Help Make Canada More Beautiful." But it has gone further than this and has issued an attractive and very practical hand- book which not nonly lays down the general principles of modern directions for planning and the planting of recommended material, The work that has been under. taken will at once appeal to all who in any degree react to the impulse civic. It is a development worthy of every encouragement that rea- son, idealism and love of country can suggest. Behind it stands the practical wisdom of keen and far. sighted business men who as rafl- way, industrial, and corporation ex- ecutives or as leaders in municipal administration, have proclaimed not only in words but by definite action, the truth of tht slogan t "Beans ty Pays." 4 (Issued by the Director of Pub- lieity, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa). : "While visiting & Zoo in Ireland, an American noticed a solitary ses Hon and wondered why thero was thor. has no mate, sor," was the response.

DISCUSSION OF 4 BYLAWS L (Continued from page 1) other side has ever been presented to the people, I have made an ex: haustive study of the whole busi- ness and have collected much in- teresting data." : In the first place, the speaker contended that if the gas plant was to be sold, the offer of the Canadian Company should he ac cepted in preference to that of Den Tate, representing the Utilities Power and Light Corporation, "A Canadien company," he raid, 'of which the Lt.-Governor of On- tario is one of the principals, has offered the same price for the plant with a cash payment of $20,000 compared to the American com- pany's cash payment of $18,000. The Canadian company offers to spend $150,000 immediately on Improvements to the plant, while the American con cern will only spend $100,000 in one year. The Canadian company has offered to reduce the price ot gas immediately to $1.35 par 1,000 cu. ft.,, while the American com- pany will charge $1.45 until the capacity of the plant is increadsed. The Ben Tate intererts want a fixed assessment, the. Canadian firm wants none. Ben Tate would secure a 50 year franchise, the Canadian Company would be satis- fled with a 30 year franchise." 'First,' Watkinson continued, "there should be but one bylaw to determine whether or not the people want to cell the gas plant. f they want to wefl it, then Jet them choose between the two or- fers." The gas plant here had been ple- tured as a municipal Hability, the speaker claimed. Such was not the case in other éitles of similar size, he sald, and he quoted sta- tistics which he had rocelved. "In Guelph, gas is sold at #1 per 1,000 cubic feet, the plant pro- duces 350,000 feet daily, and last year the plant made profits of $20,- 932, Kitchener, with a plant cap- italized at $729,000, mede §18,- 000 profit, Owen Sound sells gas at $1,12 per 1,000 and made a pro- fit of $4,817," When the city of Alexandria, Virginia, similar in size to Osh- awa, sold its gas plant and fran- chise, it secured $760,000 for fit, Mr, Watkinson claimed. Oshawa was selling its plant and franchise for $214,000, "All this American company wants is a valuable franchise, he sald, "and the public utilities com. mission and city council don't rea- lze it." In conclusion, Mr. Watkinson urged every ratepayer to get out and vote against the bylaw, ' Geo, OC. Alichin Speaking immediately after Mr. Watkinson, Geo, C. Allchin, of the P. U. C, stated that a number of his statements could not be ac- cepted as correct. There was no guarantee, he said that the Can- adien company would spent $150, 000 it it purchased the plant whereas Ben Tate has placed in a local bank a certified cheque for $100,000 which can only be used on improvements to the gas plant and for oxtensions to the system, Mr, Watkinson, he sald, had ne- glected to point out that Kitchener had been forced to make an invest- ment of $690,000 before it could place its gas plant on a profitable basis, He was convinced that Osh- awa ratepayers were not prepared to make any such investment, . Mayor Marks The gas plant, fn its present state, is obsolete and can not le considered an asset to the city, Mayor Marks declared last night in placing himself solidly behing the proposal to sell the system to the Utilities, Power and Light in- terests. The gas business was be- coming so complicated, that to his mind, the city had no right to he in it. Oshawa might spend $200, 000 to fix the plant and then in five years find that {t had become out- moded again. "All government grants on re- Hef work stop on March 31," May- or Marks said, "and 400 men, who have been receiving work through- out the city, will be thrown out of work. If the gas plant has been sold by that time and the company is boginning to extend new mains, I am hopeful that this will take care of much of that labor." "When the company takes the plant over," he continued, "the city will get about $4,000 in taxes, We must sell the gas plant and re- lleve ourselves of an annual de- fielt In its operations." RB. D, Preston Oshawa tried hard to avoid the purchase of the gas plant in the first place, declared ex-Mayor R. D, Preston, who strongly support- ed the proposed sale of the utility to the American company. As mayor of the city Mr. Preston was Calvary Baptist Church Rev. P. aul B. Ww.

"We had to purchase the gas plant in order to gain conmtrot of our electrical distribution system from the hydro," he said. "Several time," when negotiating with, the hydro, we emphatically declared that we would not take over the system if the gas plant were to be included. The hydro told us not to got worrled, that they would sell the gas plant, But they never did, and as a result we were forced to purchase it when we acquirmd the electrical utility." The sale of the gas plant ap- pealed to the ex-mayor as a gnod sound business proposition and he viewed with favor the prospect of having a large coking plant cs- tablished here. Representatives Speak Representatives of the waveral ward ratepayers' associations elso spoke briefly last night. BE. W. Bathe; of the South East Ward Association stressed the value of each ward association making a drive for increased mem- bership. There were many inter esting municipal questions to be discussed, he said, "We are not out to knock the city council but to offer construce tive criticism," Mr, Tierney, vice- president of the North West Ward Association, suggested. He re- garded organized public opinion as the only intelligent way of influen- cing the city council. Mr. Clarke, vice-president of the South West Ward Association urged that every ratepayer should Join the association in his own par- ticular ward. THe South West As- soclation was always glad to wel- come new members, The value of intelligent discus- slon on the great problems which are confronting the world today, was outlined by Robert Stewart, president of the Cedardale Assocl- ation. Mr. Stewart made refer- ence to the present gemera! busi- ness depression and the decline in the price of silver, Introduced as one of the most active presidents of all the ward associations, Oliver 1. Passebols, president of the South Kast Asso. ciation, declared that there was a real need in Oshawa for active ward ratepayers' associations. "It is a movement," he declared, "with a real object, and with a definite aim in view." The fostering of an intelligent citizen interest in civic and muni- cipal affairs was the important function which associations of ward ratepayers could perform. Only having this intelligent, well informed interest on the part of the citizens, could good muni- cipal government be possible, In Oshawa, he said, too often munici- pal affairs are considered last. She was telling her husband the troubles of the day. "You know, Bert," she said, "Mrs, West has a very nasty habit." "What's that, dear " he asked patiently. "She turns round and looks back the' every time" we pass her in street," his wife replied. \ "Really! And how do you know, dear?" he responded softly, All men are good--pood for something, or good for nothing. First Baptist hurc KING 87.
