Many preach- lers fail to impress their text and {subject upon their hearers at the joutset. An eminent Toronto Pres- | byterian divine, who was one of the [oldest and most distinguished gradu- |ates of Queen's University, King- | ston, once sat in a church pew and afterwards remarked that the min- |ister's discourse was spoiled because he did not know how to give out his text. In a Kingston church on Sun- day, a gifted preacher from Halifax announted his text in such an effec [tive and simple manper that it {n= spired this comment. | repeated 50 that many who may have {missed a word would catch it the |second time. The preacher who aims {to get the ear of his congregation {and maintain their interest in his | message from beginning to end will make a study of effective methods {of starting a sermon. The one who {grips his hearers at the start and ' makes them realize that he has a {real message to give them is the effective preacher. Many learned men give dissertations from the pul- | pit, but it is the man with the mes- |sage who will achieve the greater | i TESTING ALBERTA COAL. | The Ottawa Journal, which recent- | {1y secured a carload of Alberta coal [and distributed it among the citize\ {of the capital for experimental pur- | poses, is now publishing a report of |these tests. It {is found that the | coal gives an ideal heat for baking { purposes: the longest life of fire re- ported in nineteen hours, but gen- erally about ten hours. The heat- ling qualities, it is claimed, counter {balance the lasting qualities of an- {thracite. ~ ! | Mr. C. P. Hotchiss, secretary o? {the Dominion Fuel Board, who test- ed a quantity of the coal, reported [as follows: "It is an excellent, clean fuel, easy to handle and in some respects much nore satisfactory than either United | States gnthracite or the unscreened Welsh anthracite. The most strik- ing feature was the very small quan- lity of ash, and these ashes containe ed no partly burned coal such as I I founa in the ashes when burning (both American and Welsh anthracita. The coal arrived in excellent physi- cal condition, and shows no sign of disintegration. It burns out more quickly than anthracite; would con- {sylvania anthracite and would prefer {it on that basis. Would also prefer it to the unscreened Welsh anthra- |cite which I used last winter and | which contained over sixty per cent. of fines, much of which went through my grates unburnt." 1 | -- CONSIDER THE SUN DIAL. } On a famous sundial there is this | {inseription: "I record none but hours | of sunshine." Human life would be | happier and more fruitful if people |could take the sun-dial's message as {a life motto, Nature has made it easy for peo- ple to forget the unlovely past. The | mind of man is not a sponge, hold- ling everything that comes in con- [tact with it. It is an evaporator [that permits the escape of unhappy { memories. A week of rainy weather | § {is usually forgotten in the dawn of {one fair day. A night of toothache is forgotten with the first five min- utes of relief. Whenever rormal they christen -them the '"'gocd old | days." They were not all good, but {the memory of man refuses to live {over agnin the evil that is past. But some are so constituted tha: {they like to revel in the unpleasant {and disagreeable things of life. They {always have some sad story to tell, for some evil foreboding to relate, They talk of afflictions and losses. They seldom mention the bright days and happy experiences. Others are just the reverse. They {talk up pleasant experiences. They | boost their friends. They regard {optimistically their, own adventures. They do not mention their evil days. We love such people because of this characteristic of mind. who has not trained the mind to for- get every experience from which he may derive no advantage. When the lesson of the mistake is learned, for- get: the mistake. The hours of shadow make no record on the sun dial. : . ------------ THE SOCIAL EVIL. The social evil, more commonly known as vice, is attracting great attention in Montreal, and Record- er Geoffriom of that city. has besu the target for reproach because ho uttered some really sensible opin- ions on the question.' The recorder has the right viewpoint. The social evil will not be got rid of by puit- ing people ir jail or by levying fines. Vice has ever been present in the world and the most that can be done is to improve the conditions by reg- viation. Most of the critics on the church side look on the conditions existing in a superficial way and do aot seek deeper for the causes. When sider one and a quarter tons of tais | * x 3 oa 1 nn- dear lady, but it | 1 would equal one ton of Penn | Noone has learned the art of life | THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG |the Golden Rule and the icommard to love one's neighbor oneself are universally obeyed, then | there will be a great lessening of the social evil, and girls and wcmen | Will not drift into vice to gain them the living they now obtain through it.A thorough study of the vice question might revea! the fact that | three-quarters of the frequenters of houses of ili-fame are mem whoes | names are on the membership rolls | ot Christian churches. Hence is it any wonder that the Montreal! re- {corder takes the courageous view of the que<tion and refuses to throw {the women alone into prison? The text was | GERMANY AND WORLD TRADE. Charles M. S8chawb has made a somewhat exhaustive study of in- | dustrial aryl economic conditions in | | Burope. When Mr. Schawb says that | | Germany stands to win the war, as | {far as dollars are concerned, his | | judgment is worth consideration. In | {an address in New York city Mr. chawb told his audience that | 'Germany stands an excellent | | chance, through her efficient and willing labor, to win the fruits of {the war unless the Allied nations are 'able, through co-operation, to bring {vroduction cests down to a mini-| {mum." | When the German mark had drop- ped to one-half the pre-war value, economists naturally predicted that |the government would be wrecked iby the unrestricted inflation of the {currency. The mark is practically {worthless in international circula- | | thon, and the predictions of disaster {have not been realized. Mr. Schawb believes that the United States and | | Great Britain, as the two leading in- | dustrial nations of the world, should | co-operate in a movement that would | | conserve the industrial values which | {have been fostered by these nations, jand he dyolared that he would not {be a party to cut-throat competition | | with Great Britain, which = would | {only result in advantage to Ger- | many. | There are indications that Ger-| {man workers, in thelr loyalty to the { fatherland, are willing to accopt {practically the conditions of the | serf in order to enable Germany to | {command again the markets of the | {world in manufactured products. |1t is for the Alles, including the | | United, States, to say whether or not | this policy shall actually win the | war from an industrial standpoint. | | -- | PRESS COMMENT | Te John or Henry. | Seems Lke one ofthese days it is | {going to be a toss-up whether John | | D Rockefeller sells the country out | {+0 Henry Ford or the other way | {around.--Boston Transcript. | Who Gets It In Neck? | Renfrew retailer cut the price of | |@ certain brand of collars and the |nvakers of that brand refused to sell {him any more, Protest has been | {made before a parliamentary com- | mittee and it remains to be seen | who gets it in the neck. --Ottawa | Journal. | | Our Canadian Question | And Answer Corner | 3 i Q.--What is Ontario's Provincial | Highways mileage? | A--Ontario's Provincial High- | ways Department spent $10,000,000 | {of the 1824 miles of provincial high- | cays. | Q--Who is the Premier of A. | berta? | | A.--The Premier of Alberta is | {Hon.
