A Toronto lady, whose summer home is at Co- bonrg writes me: "You conclude your article. "Canadian Soldier Had Six Wives" with the 'query, -'Is there un- other instance in Canadian history of a man who married six times, and buried five of his wives, all dead from natural causes?" "My answer is that just as the New Brunswick quadruplets lost out hy one to the Callender quintuplets, there lost out by that same elusive one a famous old Canadian senator, the late Hon. Ebenezer Peiry, a leading citi zen of Cobourg, who died about 60 years ago, who had five wives and buried four of them; all dead from natural causes the fifth surviving wife died in the United States, The famous old senator has living in Toronto _to- day, a anddaughter, Miss © Annie Perry, aged 97, a daughter of the sen- ator's son, George, one time collector of customs at Cobourg, and of his. wife Madelaine Macdonald, daughter of that most colorful and romantic fig- ure of the North West Company, John Macdonald, of Garth. : "Cobourg is, and always has been anxious "to keep up with the Jones- es' and if any remarkable or spectac- ular event takes place under the sum Cobourg nearly always can' produce some event in its long history equal to, nearly equal to or quite surpassing the achievement of that other place.

These words were pressed by one sitting at the table with Christ, probably in a very superficial way, 'a pious expression not springing from the heart, but from this Phari- see's beatitude. Our Lord takes this opportunity of giving the remarkable | verb means to be left aside--to back oft." There is a great difference be- tween 'a reason and an excuse. "The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must nceds go out and see it;. I pray thee have nie excused." -Both these two scem to imply that they may possibly come later, if the host likes to wait, or the feast lasts 'long enough. . "And another said, Y have married a wife, 'and therefore I cannot come." (See Deut. 24 : 5; I Cor. 7 : 29-33.) There is no positive sin ascribed to the refusing guests; their fault is ence. - "And the servant came, and told hig lord these things. Then the mast- er of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city." The two words combined "stand for the public places of the town in which those who have no comfortable hom-- es are likely to be found. ~~ parable of the great feast. ""But he said unto him, A certain man made a. great supper; and he bade many." The word h re translat- ed supper means the principal meal inthe day, not necessapily the even- ing meal. It was the chief hour for appeasing hunger; it was the chosen time of fellowship and rest. . "And he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready." (For an Old Testament par- allel; sce Prov. 9 : 1-5) The servant here referred to is the one sent to remind the invited guests of the in- vitation which had previously been extended, a custom in those. days in Palestine and one that still prevalis. "And they all with one consent be- -publicans and "And bring 'in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lane." Gener- ally speaking, this would refer to the sinners. The great Giver of the heavealy feast bids to his table the spiritually. sick, the spiritualy needy. ~ "And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. And the lord said un- to the servant, Go out into the high- ways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, tha' may house may be filled. In the idea expressed by the word constrain, there is no thought of compulsion, but rather of persu- asion, "Ior I say unto you, that none of those men that were . bidden ° shall taste of my supper." Since the you is plural, this, verse is probably the gan to make excuse." The Greek language of our Lord . indirectly as- that of pre-occupation and indiffer-.

Mr. Gilmour declares that the library board is.the most interested "body in London in the matier of cen- sorship of public library books, but he doulted whether the board's cen- sorship went far enough, in suggest- ing that supervision migh. be made over' other libraries in the city. R. E, Crouch, chief librarian, says he doesn't know whet all the qiestion- able books are, as the publishers in to the public libraries take care not to include books of a questionable character. The customs department has recently bi.nned several hundred books and 'magazines from entering the country, many of which are pub- lished in the United States. It-is not difficult, however, for individuals who deal. in books of a salacious type. to smuggle them across the border. the type of hooks in circulation at the 'public library.

Jesus came offering to men 'these supremely valuable boons: a divine Father, a kingdom of_-giace, a Christ who was the sinners' friend, and a righteousness possible even for. the most depraved; and he found no appetite for these benefits, no cager- ness to come, to the feast which he hdd discoursed;: men's minds were full of thoughts and beliefs of a wholly diverse character wherewith they were perfectly satisfied."
