They want something better suited to the new power which they feel resurgent within themselves. We do outgrow tasks and books and lead- ers.

Also, in fairness it should be added, 1 have advanced because of it and others like it: we may not! forget our early helpers, in books and | work and friends. | The two Galilean fishermen about whom the Sunday schools are study- | ing this week outgrew their life by 'the lake, and sought the. best lead- ership into a larger satisfaction they | could find. Then, in time, they out- | grew John the Baptist--though ' he | saw it before they did, and pointed | them to a Leader who can neyer be| outgrown: who is today as far in ad vance of the greatest explorer into | twentieth century time as he was in| advance of Peter and Johh. This is! the secret of intellectual and spirit- ual strength: follow the best you | know until you find a better. Go with | any prophet of light as far as he can lead you--and then go on to the greater. It is the glory of the teacher that he sets a few of his pupils to| travelling farther than he himself! can journey. , | enl swher : where AVE not go back tol Where the Jordan Rolls. 1 have lately seen the Jordan River, where it tumbles joyously out of the Lake of Galilee, over rocks and amid beautiful oleanders, and alse by/ Jericho where it flows sluggishly. amid the nodding reeds, stained | brown by the soil through which it| has come, into the Dead Sea.

Humanity wants ething, it is not certain what, Its] desires are countless: its need is one. Men think that it is more money or less labor or greater ease or filler power that will bring satisfaction: on the contrary, it is only peace of soul and forgiveness of sin that will bring rest to this weary world. All who seek need to hear the Baptizer's word, | spoken 1 the Jordan to the two Seekers were his followers: "Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh | away the sin of the world."

Jesus is the Man of {the Hour, the hope of the race. In nobody else is thére any prom-! ise of relief. As in Jerusalem on the day of the crucifixion," it is either Christ or the Barabbas of Bolshevism' love or unbrotherliness; life or ruin The other historic teachers of the race --Buddha, Zoroaster, Confucius, Mo- hammed, are local in both time and place: they offer no universal leader- ship.

These disfiguring blemishes do not origin- ate in the skin---their birth in every case goes further back, to the blood, which must be cleansed of humors . before the pimples depart for good. A physician who has made a care- ful study of such cases, says that the quickest cure comes from a blood building medicine like Ferrozone, The minute Ferrozone strikes the blood its good work begins. Poisons ind foul matter are expelled, Every race of humor is driven out, and the whole life current is supplied witn Mtriment and health giving gquali- des. .

The years of War that deprived Canada of so many of her bravest sons, have given her greater self-reliance and wider vision. The world has come to expect great things of Canada. Our army has set us the highest example -- to persevere and to succeed. Canada has the fundamentals of success -- strong, virile men, reso- lute and devoted women, and unbounded resources. In the readjust- ment of Canada's affairs, as in the affairs of the world, money plays a leading part. ; The transition from War to Peace is long, tedious, costly; it takes money, time and effort to teat swords into plowshares, Men cannot drop their arms and return immediately to their former occupations. War has left Canada a heritage of obligations. War has left Canada--and the world--face to face with problems that are new and gigantic. Money is required to discharge these obligations and to solve these problems. Canada therefore is about to ask her citizens once more to lend their money to enable her to fulfil her obligations to her soldiers and to maintain the country in prosperity. . " Canada can, if Canada will, march straight on to her glorious destiny.
