SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1034 THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG BOOKS LIFE BLOOD OF A NATION. fo (Continued from page 1) y until through east and west wlike that trade which is the life-blood 'of a | nation has begun to flow out, and to flow in, -with ever-increasing vigor. Without trade the most fertile valley is shunned and neglected as a To- | leper camp. z ' With trade the barest, bleakest coast is ahum with energy and life, Tyrian purple remains a symbol of the pomp and circumstance. that crowns a nation great in commerce. Drake's drum was more than a rattle of martial melody; it was the conquering note of England's commerce. Francis Drake sailed round the globe, not for victories over Spanish galleons, but for trade. ; Fin the greqt days of Oid England, to the great days of New Eng- and, trade was essentially a matter of barter, of interchange of products. The motive was to take something forth, and just as truly to bring some- thing home. - No spot could be more foreboding than New England's bleak and rocky shore. But the Yankee who came there was a trader. What that inhospitable soil could not provide, he made up for by interchange with the West Indies. Back and forth like a weaver"s shuttle went his ships and cargoes, taking fish and lumber, bringing rum and spice and sugar. : 1783, and a door, more terrible than any Fordney Tariff, was banged in the Yankee's face. Gone, the West Indian markets! Gone, the trade which was the pourishiment of all New England! 8 Starvation might have faced a tamer people. But the Yankee had the imagination to leap across the cbstacles that hemmed him. Barred from the West Indies, he sent his clippers round the Horn, with trinkets and beads and blankets and gums, for Oregon, thence with furs for China, thence home with teas and silks as ciscumnavigators of the globe. A hundred years ago down the St. Lawrence came the canoes of freighted furs. To-day in place of the canoe, it is the mighty oil burner laden with wheat and iron. This constant movement, whether of ancient batteaux or of modern liner bespeaks the coursing blood of commerce. Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver, the story of the rise and growth of every city is the story of its waxing trade. We are treated to infinite discussions on enconomics, all of which may bring illumination. But right now What we are needing most of all is the man who fills freight cars, rather than he who merely fills white paper. More than tariffs, or the lack of tariffs, the energy and resources of the trader is the source of a nation's greatness. A boom in trade means production increasing, prosperity for farm and factory, unemployment ceased, railroads working to the iimit, ports crowded, cargoes crying out for shipping. } Sunday Services in Churches Seats free. and visitors No remedy can cure all aile ments of the hue _ man body, but an immense number of peo- He suffer from es, and dis- eases when their real trouble is lack of iron fn the blood.

The full appreciation of Irish supernatural literature has always, from the time of Ossian onward, de- manded a certaln surrender of the realistic faculties which comes hard to many non-Celtic readers, The two fairy-tales which make up this volume are narrated with great po- etic skill, and with a racy confidence that greatly helps their effect; but they leave an impression that they have been too fantastic to be worth while. "The fairy way of writing" is, as Addison reminds us, a very difficult way, Fairies must not talk like people of our own species, the sense of their conversation, and in- deed of their actions, ought to be "a little discolored." Ome felt con- cerning Mr, Stephens' early Irish fantasies, notable "The Crock of Gold," in which the element of hu- mor was so strong, that the sense of his supernatural beings was just enough "discolored" and not too much. But it is dificult to detect any sense, discolored or mot, in the talk and acts of the beings in these tales, whose extravagance recalls strongly that of the Ossianic sagas. Without the restraining power of humor, the Irish fairy tale is apt to get out of hand, . rs a-- W. H. HUDSON: AN ANTHOLOGY. By Edward Garnett. Dent, Toronto, $2.50.

This remarkable story bears upon Jesus Transfigured i the surface its great suggestions and teachings. It reminds us of the profound need of visions that lift us above the day's tasks and the humdrum and common- place round of life and give us faith and strength to go on. Few men attain to great service without some enriching, uplifting ex- perience in life. Even the Master must be transfigured before us to give us conviction in the hour of temptation, trial and doubt. Peter had already acknowledged his Lord.

All are cordially invited to the services and to make use of the fession he had meant it with all his heart, but even after this experience on the Mount of Transfiguration he denied his Lord. But in that very moment of denial he must have recalled the glory on the Mount. That is the quality and pur- pose 'of these unusual experiences--to prepare us for the hours when there is no vision, to supply for us the reserves of faith. Why did not all the disciples have this experience? Why was it for only Peter, James and John? We geannot know. Possibly the 'vision came only to those who had the power to see. Possibly the safety and strength of the others depended upon the example of fidelity and sureness in these three, who seemed to be.the natural leaders among the twelve. What happened on*the Mount? Was DA "ROCK OF AGES." An illiterate man may be instrumen- tal in leading a scholar from doubt to | faith. This was exemplified in the ex- perience of Augustus Montague Top- lady, the author of this famous hymn, "Rock of 'Ages." His father, Major was killed at the seige: of speaker and writer, but about his deep | piety there can be no question. What- ever the followers of Wesley 'might had no hesitation whatever in acknow- f fit sEi% 4] f 7 I 11 a.m., "The Mys- think about Toplady's theology, they arise some doubt or questioning? Were they right, after all, in leaving home and friends? Was not the old religion, the religion of those round about them, all that was necessary? Might not this new prophet be no pro. phet after all? Here was*the answer. Jesus was the true successor of Moses and Elijah. And then came also that voice of auth- ority, "This is my beloved Son; hear Him." And then, how sudden was the tran- sition] The voice was past, and they were alone with Jesus, They came down from the Mount with silence in their hearts. The ac- count in Matthew says that Jesus told them to keep silent concerning their experience until after the Resurrection. The account in the lesson does not say this, but in any case it was a deep, treasured experience. Note, also, that its purpose was not only to strengthen the general faith of the disciples, but to prepare them spe- cifically for the trying days of Christ's passion and crusifixion. These, indeed, could not have been clearly foreseen or understood by the disciples at the time. But with what clearness when the trying hour came, or at least when light was emerging out of darkness; would they recall the scene and the words spoken concern: ing the decease of Jesus! What strengthening of faith, and consciousness of fellowship, would that memory bring! The Mount of Transfiguration has its place, but it is not the normal place. he disciples came down from the un- uual experience to take up regular tasks Life's transfiguration experien- ces are tested by the inspiration they impart for daily life and service. -------------- Loss Is $5,000.

McClel- and & Stewart, Toronto, Temperamental people? Yes, they are quite that, are the heroes and heroines of Mrs. Rinehart's collec- tion of short stories in this volume. Most of them, of course, are artists. There is a notion abroad among American readers that great works of art are produced by persons who are the slaves of this thing tempera- ment--a notion which is sedulously fostered by the third-rate artists, be- cause they all know how to exhibit 'temperament, and they put it for- ward as evidence of their genius; some of them even have press-agents to do the putting forward. Mrs. Rinehart is at times an artist of better than the third-rate herself, and must know perfectly well that really fine art is never produced under the influence of the kind of temperament she here depicts -- the temperamnt of weak, flabby, gelf-indulged, incompetent people. We doubt if the author is greatly interested in them herself, At any rate the stories are very loosely written. ~ DREAM TAPESTRIES. By Louise Morey Bowman. Macmil- lan, Toronto, $1.75. Mrs. Bowman is distinctly the most accomplished . practitioner in Canada of the mew type of poetry which is represented in the United States by Amy Lowell and in Eng- land perhaps best by Sascheverell Sitwell. It is a strange kind of thing, and one does not guite know what it will amount to fifty years trom now; but it is undeniably no- vel, and undeniably it produces an effect. That effect seems to consist in the evocation of extremely sub- tle moods, in which memories ra- ther subconscious than conscious are vibrated to chords of a dim but pleasant poignaney. Much of the latest music, in which half-vanishing overtones are exploited with delicate and. dexterous ,hand, produces simi iar results in the hearer. It is for instance obvious that the tion, alike by land and by sea. the product for trade is worthless. of the development of a nation, the commerce of a continent. world-wide system. would soon go bankrupt. which she works, the compression of the limits she sets herself, With the more obvious material, such as is capable of direct and unsubtle presentation, she achieves no such magic. This book should be read by all who are interested in finding out how the limits of poetry are being extepded, even in Canada; it will not suit those who have no love for frontiers. SONGS OF SERVICE AND "SACRIFICE. A Study in XL-LV. By W. G. Jordan. James Olarke & Co, London, Few writers have done more to develop the new spiritual values ex- tractible from the works of the Old Testament as the result of modern scientific examination than Dr. Jof- dan, of this city. The importance of his work is not in the least di- minished by the fact that it is not addressed to a wide public. "The popular preacher and the social re- former have their place, but the quiet thoughtful teacher must maintain his position in the Church to preserve its vital connection with the classic sources of our faith, and to keep alive our communion with the saints of the past." It is to these "quiet thoughtful teachers" that Dr. Jordan addresses himself, and many people will feel that he is working for the most important of the many forces in the life of the Church. There is of course no passage in the The first essential to a boom in trade is cheap and easy transporta- It it is impossible to get goods out of the valley in which produced, To paraphrase an argument from Mr. Clarence W.

Everywhere in my ears was the song of trade, the song of the miles on miles of freight trains thundering on behind their compound engines, the song of the harbor with its endless chorus of syren, derrick, grate and tackle. A mammoth funnel is ths city, in and out of which is passing half Yesterday Montreal was a trading post, to-day it is a trading centre, through which is flowing increasingly the life blood of our stalwart young dominion, J , To listen tothe song of trade, as it comes up from the port of Montreal, is to be reminded anew that we are part and parcel of a "Burope can go hang," says the hick town grocer, his nose in a back- shop ledger. But without the European market our own North-West To be truly efficacious the life blood of a nation must be flowin treely both ways, with imports, no less than with exports. Let it be repeated, all trade is merely barter. truly in earnest in quest of foreign markets, we must give the other fellow a chance to pay for our goods with his goods. ; Therefore, if we are Bible in whose interpretation such thinkers are more interested than the great "Servant of Jehovah" po- etry in the book entitled Isaiah, and in a series of chapters Dr. Jordan presents a view of the "Election of Israel" which makes it not a dry abstract doctrine but a vital and universal truth of the relation be- tween a faithful people and the Be- ing in whom {ts faith is reposed; a demonstration of the close relation between redemption and service; an organic explanation. of the impas- sioned declaration about the sul- ferings and sacrifices of the Ser- vant as being both a growth from the past and a prophecy of the fu- ture. Dr. Jordan's knowledge of othar primitive and tribal literatures enables him to understand the full richness of poetical quality in many figures and phrases which have be. come worn down in modern usage, and we cannot imagine anyone reads ing this book without acquiring & much deeper sense of the moral truths which it expounds--truths so profound as to be incapable of com- munication by any other means than poetry. ree gre Mayor F.
