The Property of Character The Peculiar Traits That Jesus Says Constitute "Saltness" and Which Exalt a People. THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. By Francis Tailing, Vancouver, B.C. "Salt, therefore, is good; but if in- | heart, the peacemakers," expressing deed the salt ^ave lost its savor, wherewithal shall it be seasoned ? It is fft- ^-eitb£iL_for the land nor the dunghill; men cast it out."--Luke xiv., 34, 35. • The Great Teacher said that those who accept the Truth, the Word of _God, are the salt of the earth. In the nfe of the world they are -what salt is to material substances. He also said that if we did not intend to be genu- jlle followers of the Lord our God, traits of character that are constructive, constructive, powerful and indispensable to the uplifting of humanity. And then, "Blessed are those that are persecuted persecuted for. righteousness sake," those who are ill treated because they will not forsake duty, the right and God. These are the traits of character that Jesus says constitute "saltness." The True "Preparedness." And lastly, this is the saltness that must be found in those who would then we should not profess a partial, purify, flavor and preserve the world, insincere allegiance to Him and His --" L - -- " '■ " Truth. For, like salt that had lost its savor, we would be fit for nothing but to be cast out. First, then, "Ye are the salt of the earth." We all know what salt is for and what it does. It cures, purifies; purifies; it seasons and it preserves. That is the use of those whose hearts acknowledge acknowledge the true and eternal, who are Godly. They are to cleanse and who are its salt. But if we have lost our "saltness," if wè lack those traits of character, of what use are we? It matters not what other excellencies we may possess or uses we may serve, we are unprofitable in the real sense if we have not this "saltness." It is not because salt is crystalline, or white, or soft that it is of such value to us. Its savor--its saltness--is its virtue.

The Ministry of Finance has presented presented to the Council of Ministers a summary of the economic situation in Russia. The grain harvest for the current year, the summary states, was 512,000,000 poods (a pood equals 36 English pounds), about 350,000,000 bushels above the five-year average. Counting grain carried from the previous previous season, Russia had available for the current year 4,766,000,000 poods of grain and potatoes, equalling equalling about 3,177,000,000 bushels, the excess of the available surplus over 1914 amounting to 789,000,000 poods, equalling, about 526,000,000 bushels. Deducting the probable - consump tion of the country, it is estimated that the jiéw available surplus will be about 887,000,000 bushels. Reports regarding the winter crops are of the most favorable nature. According to the statement, the financial position of the population is shown by the growth of savings bank deposits.. October's figures of tb^se deposits showed the reaching of the high-water mark, with deposits of 74,000,000 roubles, as against 22,000,- 000 roubles in October, 1914. Since the beginning of the war, it was announced, announced, the savings of the people have increased ■ 499,000,000 roubles, and now amount to 2,408,000,000 roubles.
