This is not to say that mental hospital staffs are not eternally vigilant, but there are limits 'to human vigilance.

J. Perron, and in which the former is claiming 2110.43 from Perron. Marchand is a merchant in Ville Marie, P.Q., and Perron Carries on business in. Kirkland Lake. According to the state- -ment of claim, Marchand bought from N, L. Martin, bankruptcy trustee, the assets of Albert Marchand, then a bankrupt, the date being April 3 last year. Sub- 7 sequently, from April 21 to No- vember 25, 1930, Perron bought goods from,Omer Marchand to the value of $2110.43, but these had not been paid for.

He not only understood the theory of the Christian life, but was able to demonstrate that theory to the world in its prac- tical form. Hence his life and teaching has revealed Christian- ity to us as a force, greater than that of almost any character known in history. He speaks with human tenderness of human sensibilities and human thoughts, while upon all these is manifest- ed the power that has.taken pos- session of him and transformed him from Saul the Persecutor, to Paul the Apostle. Let us for a few moments look at this testimony of Paul: "For me to live is Christ."". The mean- ing of the words are: the busin- ess of my life is Christ's, my en- ergy, my activity, my occupation, my interests are all Christ's. The words describe a condition wide- ly different from that of most people. Before Paul could say that his outward life was Christ, he must have been able to say it of his inward life. Before Christ can be to anyone his object, his business, his work in life, He must first be his trust and his hope, his known and tried refuge from guilt, from fear, from rest- lessness, from sin. A man must have Christ for the life of his soul, before he can have Christ for the life of his life. 3ut this statement of the Ap- ostle's view of Christianity gath- ers force when we remember the exact position which he was in By Alirle Michaelis =|from superintendents to cooks-- is considered at present a mini- Memory mum requirement.

Suffice it to say, however, that there is no mental hospital in Canada which could not be improved, both in the treatment accorded to patients, and in a definite reduction of fire hazard, if staffs were further in- creased and the number of pa- tients cut down.

He looks along that road and thinks of the possibility of traversing it. Then he looks in the other direction. What if the Emperor should give him his liberty? Then back to Phillipi he will speedo see his children in the Gospel, and on to some new religion to tell the same old story, and live the same life, and win more trophies for Christ. Now th tice has often been asked, why was Paul's life so successful from a Christian standpoint. * find to a question like this many answers could be given. But ta¢ great secret was, his complete}surrender to God. To him Chrig was first and last in all 'rtook .te do. In studying thptife of the Apxstle we find his wjs: t - "A life on Beices In other words it was a continual nour- ishment on the Bread of Life. The spiritual life requires nour- ishment just as much as the body. The garden withers and decays through lack of nourishment. In some of our towns and cities there are many deformed child- ren, made so'as a result of im- proper care. They have failed to receive the attention necessary in their early,life and hence have become deforméd. So with the spiritual life, without nourish- ment, without continually feed- ing on Christ, the Bread of Life, it becomes deformed and is weak when it should be strong, delicate when it should be healthy, and unweaponed jagainst the emer- gencies of life. It was a life with Christ. In the midst of his greatest difficul- ties, Paul did not forget the fact that Christ was with him. As danger and death stared him in the face he could say like David: "Though I walk through the val- ley of the shadow of death I will farewell message to the disciples, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every crea- ture, and lo! I am with you al- ways ,even unto the end of the world." . Young' man, young woman, just starting out in life, take Christ with you as your Friend and Companion. Daniel took God with him wherever he went and what was the result? When a captive in Babylon his enemies tried to pick flaws in his charac- ter, but after they had analyzed it from every standpoint, they were compeled to. acknowledge that they could find no fault with him except it was with his God. Joseph dared to stand true to his God in the face of temptation, and when a man was needed to set over the affairs of Egypt, what was Pharaoh's testimony concerning Joseph? "Can we find syich a one as this one is, a man in whom the spirit of God is." Paul could say: "I know when I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." It wasta Life like Christ. When a child first goes to school it learns by trying to shape the letters after the copy set by the teacher. It is true at first there is very little resemblance be- tween the handwriting of the teacher and the pupil, but day by day the child persists in his ef- forts to imitate the copy until soon the _ similarity becomes greater, and before long*the two are not easily distinguished. Such is the result of the Christ- ian's efforts to imitate the exam- ple of our Saviour. At first we come so far short in our efforts to live like Him, but each day with its duties faithfully per- formed brings us nearer to the ideal until the character bears a strong resemblance to the great 'Teacher Himself. This was the Apostle's idea when he wrote to the glory of the Lord, are chang- ed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of God." And John: "Be- loved now are we the sons of God, and it 'doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when He shall appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And every one hath this hope in him purifieth Himself, even as He is pure." It was a life for Christ. It was a patriotic life. Now patriotism is something we see manifesting itself continually in the world around us. Students are loyal to their college, citizens are loyal to their country, scholars are loyal to their school, politicians are loyal to their party. In fact, in every department of life patriot- ism appears to be an important factor in progress. A few years ago when the Great War broke out, and volunteers were called for to go to the front, thousands of young men in the Dominions, and other British Colonies, offer- ed themselves for service. They were wiling to leave their home and friends and go out and fight and if need be, die for their country, and many gave their lives. We admire patriotism in these capacities. We will not forget the men who counted not their fives dear, but freely gave them up for the cause of Truth and Right. But the world needs today men and women who will be loyal to Christ and His King- dom under every circumstance. It made no difference to Paul where he was called to go, or what he was asked to do, he was loyal to his Master. If he stood alone among a thousand, he re- mained true to his convictions of right. When writing to Timothy he said, "At my first answer no man stood with me ...nothwith- standing the Lord stood with me and strengthened me." God will Stand by you and strengthen you if you resolve to stand up for the right.
