Invariably it is the open door of opportunity Fail- ures are made not because of the lack of opportunity, but because we fail to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. It necessitat- es a spiritual understanding alike of the will of God and the responsibility of man. Sacrifice is not the half-sleepy, i half-reluctant submission to the force The subjoined account of a political Scandal, which appeared in the Globe of Saturday and comes from its corres pondent in Sydney, New South Wales, makes interesting reading at the present juncture, as a contrast with the attitude of the Government in Ontario towards the charges made against one of its members. It will be noticed that in Australia the accused Minister retired pending the investigation, that he was tried and condemned by a Committee upon which his own political friends were in the ascendant, and that his crime, though much Ics's glaring than that with which Mr. Stratton is charged, received no palliation from papers on either side of politics. The Globe cor- respondent says: In my last letterI told how Mr. Mc- Kenzie, Minister for Lands, had retir- ed from the Irvine Government pend- ing the investigation of certain charges against his administration of the de- partment. Mr. McKenzie has long been one of the most prominent and highly honoured public men in Victoria. He is a man of considerable wealth, which he has made in the pastoral in- dustry. Many of his huge estates he has leased from the. Crown after fair and open competition. His intimate knowledge with nearly all the Crown districts was, indeed, one of his chief qualifications for his position as Minis- ter of Lands. There was no doubt about the efficiency of his administra- tion, but grave charges were made a month ago against its fairness. The House and the country were shocked when a member of the Opposition defi- nitely charged the Minister with leasing several large blocks of grazing country to himself and to others acting on his behalf. It was not alleged that the price he paid was inadequate, although it seems that in two instances he gave his own applications unfair considera- tion over those of other competitors. Mr. McKenzie at once admrtted that, as a private citizen, he had leased lands from himSelf, acting as a Mimstt r. He claimed, however, that his action was quite justifiable, and that he had not cheated the State out of a single penny of its fair rental The circumstances, however, had such an ugly look that the Minister at once placed his resigna- tion in the hands of his chief, and a3 Committee of the House was appointed to investigate the charges. The menr bers of that committee were nearly all the personal friends of the accused Minister, and were not likely to treat him at all unfairly. 'l‘heir finding, ‘however, was prompt and (rushing. ‘They acquitted Mr. McKenzie of all dishonest intention, but they agreed unanimously that he had failed to rtal ize his true position as a trustee ofpubâ€" lic wealth. While he was given the benefit of every reasonable doubt in those transactions which admitted of doubt at all, there was no attempt made to excuse his (onduet. livery newspaperin the land, regardless of party, demanded his immediate retire- ment from public life. There was no question of whether he was a free trad- er or a protectionist, a Reformer or a Conservative. Argus and Age, always so sharply opposed to each other in their advocacy of different men- and treasures, now joined hamls against the man who haul brought disgrace upon the fair name of political honour in Victoria. Their tone could not but strike a Canadian as being in pleasing contrast to the whitewanhing operations of so many party papers in the Domin- ion. Mr. McKenzie bowed at once to the public indignation, and resigned, not only his seat in the House, but his place in the honourable Executive Committee. La<t Sunday afternoon, a very large audience assembled in the Presbyterian Church to hear Rev. Mr. Kannawin’s farewell sermon. During the past four years he has labored in this congrega- tion and recently TcCClVCd and acccp ted a call to Woodville. The reverend gentleman chose for his text, John I I : 28, “The Master is come and calleth for thee,” and the: following is a brief outline of his discourse: The call, here presented, came not as a command but as a request; and was to be answered not of compulsmn but of freedom. So was it m the case of the Call of Isaiah “Whom Shall I Send and Who Will Go For Us? " The Prophet heard from the Divine lips of the Dixine need for messengers, and he was immediately full of the mind that he “as the man for tl 6 mission, and of the heart to give him- self to it, and he answered “Here am I, send me." Jesus was returning to the home of Mary and Martha which had recently been bereaved by the death of Lazarus. Martha went out to meet Him and after a brief conversation returned for her Sister with these words, “The Mas ter is come and calleth for thee.” So accustomed had she become to His presence in their home, that she spoke of him quite familiarly. It was a natur- al recognition of His superiority and His authority. Only when we make Him a welcome resident in our lives and homes will we feel His power and recognize His will. FAREWELL SERMON An Australian Scandal. AND HOW IT WAS TREATED. of circumstance or Opinion, but the resolute self-surrender and willing re signation of a free and responsible soul. Too often the idea of “a call” has been associated with the lives of those who have consecrated their gifts to the sacred office of the ministry. This should not he the case. Every occu- I pation is sacred when entered into from : the purest motivesâ€"éwhen We are en- gaged in it for the purpose of making ourselves, our homes, our community} and the world better, wiser and happier. Into every walk of life, men have drif- ted, and are found there simply because it is on the line of least resistance. From such false beginnings rise the spent force, the premature stoppages, the stagnancy, the aimlessncss, the heartlessness, which we too often see in the different occupations. (30d will have no drift-wood for His sacrifice. Self consecration is the beginning of His Service, and a sense of our own freedom and our own responsibility is an indispensable element in the act of self-consecration. When theopportun- ity for a higher and a larger service presents itself we must look upon it as a call from the Master. and weâ€"not Godâ€"have to make the decision. We are not to be dead, but living sacrifices, and everything which renders us less than fully alive, both mars at the time the sincerity of our surrender and re“- acts for evil upon the whole ofour sub- sequent career. To-day we are all call- ed to a deeper consecration and a full- er appreciation of our duty to our God and to our fellow-men In conclusion the speaker said, “The special work of the ministry is to teach and preach the truth as it is in Jesus. Recently an opportunity has presented itself in which I shall havethe privilege of doing double the amount of that special work, that I have been doing during the past four years. To settle the question in the best interests of the cause of Christ to which I have devot- ed my life demanded my most serious thought. Material considerations had to be placed in the back-ground. Even agreeable surroundings, pleasant assoc- iations, and the stronger bond of in- timate friendship, could not be permit ted to rule. And now, into the open door of opportunity, I freely step, and humbly offer myself and any special qualifications, which I may possess, to be used for the advancement of His Kingdom in a wider sphere of labor and of influence. My earnest prayer is that He who is the great Head of the Church may watch over us during the interval of our separation, and again reunite us in the great congregation above where we may continue our service free from such interruptions as may break in up- on us here.” A quiet wedding occurred this after- noon at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. A. 'l‘. Dearborn, in this city. The contracting parties were Harry Cornwall of Eldredge, and Miss julia Dearborn ofJamestown. Only a few of the immediate relatives and friends of the bride and. groom were present. Mr. and Mrs. Cornwall left on the 7 p. in. train on an extended wedding trip. They will go to the Twin Cities and Chicago, afterwards returning to the Twin Cities will take the 800 for a trip to Omemee, 0nt., where the father of the groom, a prom- inent physrcran of that ;art of Canada, resides. Toronto, Niagara Falls, Buf- falo and other points will be visited be- fore returning home. Mr. and Mr". Cornwall will reside at Eldredge on the Cornwall farm The bride is one of the most estimable young ladies of the city, highly esteemed by all who know her for her many graces of person and character. She has taught school in the county for several years. The groom is one of the best known residents of the city and county, and has a fine farm at Eldredge and large business affairs in the city. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Cornwall extend hearty congratulations. We clip the above from the leading paper of the City of jamcstown, North Dakota. U. S. A. Mr. Cornwall and his bride arrived at the homestead about 10 days ago, and were visiting at Dr. Cornwall’s till yesterday, when they returned to their home. Mr. Harry Cornwall’s old friends were delighted to see him back at his old home, and gave him and his charming bride a most hearty welcome. While at the homestead, Mr and Mrs. Cornwall were called upon by many of the best people of Omemee; all were pleased with the heartiness of the welcome they received from Mr Cornwall and the joviality of his manner; as they were captivated by the grace, simplicity and intelligence of "his American bride. Should they ever again return to this village they may be assured of a hearty welcome. Mr. J. H. Delamere has retired from the active business management of the Minden Echo, his time being now fully taken up by other duties. He will con- tinue to give the businegs his oversight. CORNWALL ~DEARBORN. Schedule of Midland Football Assaciatiun. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Thomas J. Wherry nf Manilla, and Miss Emma I). Brown of town, were married at the residence of Mr 135.
