Let mental culture in-| crease and science spread and deepen; ; let the spirit of man broaden as it! will—the majesty and the morality of} Christianity as it shines forth in ithe} gospels will never be surpassed.’ John W. Goethe. After the lapse of a century unpar- alleled in the volume of its scientific and literary activities, the distin- guished author and philosopher quot- ed, who imparted a fresh intellectual) life to his age and nation, might re- iterate without the variation of a syllable, his tribute to the Sacred Scriptures. Now, as then, the volume towers unapproached by any other in any tongue. Speaking from the chair of English literature in Cam- bridge University, Sir Arthur Quiller- Couch pronounces it “at once the most majestic thing in our literature. and by all odds the most spiritually living thing we inherit.” Verily, it shines an incomparable beacon light in which “Splendor of the thoughts of God For the life of men, Visions of the saints and seers Burn for us again.” The Bible is matchless in what it purports to be, its verifications by experience and his tory, in the var- iety and charm of its construction, message, unversality of application. indestructible character, and in what it has wrought. It asserts itself a! Divinely inspired disclosure of the! will and wisdom of the Supreme Be- ing concerning the origin, moral con- dition, redemption, duty and destiny of mankind. Beyond any reasonable question and testimony of the ages confirms what has been claimed for the Scriptures. Oft-repeated usage , may have dulled the deep significance of the term ‘‘The word of God,” or; the clamor of other voices, for the “moment, fill the ears but its message perennially reasserts {tseff'as the Di- vine afflatus. The vehicle of super- natural knowledge communicated at sundry times, and in divers manners, it also abides for the guidance of each succeeding generation.

As one exegete expresses it, the revel-| ation is progressive, the Old Testa-! ment being preparatory to the advent, of The Redeemer, Who is manifested! in. the gospels, preached and propa-! gated in the Acts, explained in the; Epistles and consummated in the Rev-' elation. In the New Testament there! are said to be over 800 quotations. from, or allusions to the Old, the vellums of which constituted the text book of Christ himself.. From the Psalms, Isaiah and other prophecies. He quoted passages referring expli- city to. Himself. He reaffirmed the law of Moses without disturbing ‘‘one jot or title,”’ but scored the Scribes and Pharisees for odious man-made settlements of people will find life not only endurable but congehial a- North Pole. John Burroughs.—No one _ else looks out upon the world so kindly and charitably as the pedestrian; no one else gives and’ takes so much from the country he passes through.

The Book is ger- minati, The discipies, when sent to preach by the Master,swere taught in explanation of a parable that “The Seed was the Word of God.” Human experience from the cradle to the grave and history attest its re- liability as a guide to faith and prac- tice.

In word or spirit, it pervades all lit- erature worthy the name. The per- manence and circulation of other works when clothed in adequate lit- erary garb, appear to be about in pro- portion as they approach its staud- ards. Its message has proven adapt- able to all languages, times and peo- ples. Six prime ministers of British Dominions in concert could make no appeal for the future strongér than an affirmation of the eternal validity of its teachings. That providential organization, the British and Foreign Bible Society, reports issues for 1919- 20 to the number of 8,515,930, China and India being especially. hungry for “The Word.” Since its inception in 1804 its distribution has reached the total of above 300,000,000 copies in some 525 different languages and dia- lects, a veritable world-wide pente- cant of truth.

Furthermore, the so- ciety mentioned, has never been in debt, and with others similarly en- gaged has proven itself an invaluable co-worker of missionary enterprise. In the research and comment stimu- lated, no other volume is for a mo- ment comparable with the Bible. It remains the inexhaustible source of texts for the pulpits of the entire world. Its crowning achievement has been in the transformation of life and character by bringing men face to face with the Redeemer and Re- storer. Paul's direction to Timothy was to “Preach the Word,” for the all-sufficient reason given in Ephes- ians, that it is the sword or instru- ment whereby the work of the Spirit | ts affected. Illuminated fidelity to the Pauline counsel continues to be the Bauge of fruitful ministry. To a | world parched with a fever of unrest voices are calling ‘‘Lo Here! and Lo There!” but apart from the message that “breathes through the lines Di- vine’’ there is no balm and no speci- fic; and in times like these it is wise to heed the admonition of the distin- guished English philologist, who said it was not enough to explore the sour- ces of rivers, but to drink of them. Our English Letter . (By Sidney Rabbits, British Corres-| pondent of the U.P. Bureau.) | London, November 9.—London’s monument to those who fell in the Great War is nearing completion,| and it will probably be ready for- -the| unveiling ceremony on Armistice} Day. The Cenotaph now being erect-| ed in Whitehall is considered a fine! piece of sculpture, befitting in every | way the awful, but splendid, sacrifice it is meant to perpetuate. “Their name liveth for evermore,’ is the inscription it bears, and any-| thing more perroer take could hardly | have ene chose ' Growth of London xitantnn has been attracted here | to the remarkable development of, London by the unearthing of an old, history, containing some quaint maps| of the days gone by. Can you im-) agine a windmill in the vicinity of its dry ditches? To picture these! things nowadays certainly requires a big effort of the imagination. Yet in one of these old maps of the time, of Queen Elizabeth, Piccadily is. shown as a road leading out of town’ with a few houses at the corner! where the road now known as Re-| gent Street turned off. and a wind-| mill a little to the east of this. What) changes are brought about in the| course of 300 years! Methinks if! the old miller could now walk those’ paths with which he was once so| familiar, he would certainly want! some one to hold his hand. Further-| more, could he see todays price of! flour he would probably want some-| one to hold his hat on, too! i Back From : { Sir Frank and Lady Newnes, who! have just arrived home after an ex-! tended tour in Canada and America, ! were evidently not satisfied with the usual itinerary of the tourist, for in addition to visiting the principal cit- ies in Canada, they spent some time in exploring virgin forests, even sleeping in buts, amidst the magnificent scen- ery. At Washington they were enter- tained by Sir Auckland and Lady Gea- des. and they have happy memories also of an enjoyable time spent in various parts of Canada, where they have many friends. Fall Beauty in England Such a lovély autumn has been ours this year that it seems the trees are only with great reluctance shed- ding their leaves, and thus yielding to the unchangeable-cycle of nature’s laws.

Lights On All Vehicles— At a meeting of the executive of the London Motor Club Saturday ap- proval was given the proposal of the city council traffic committee to re- quire lights on all vehicles. The city council committee, however, is de- manding both head and rear. lights, and the Motor Club would be con- tented if horse-drawn vehicles and bicyeles carried only one light. It is suggested that a lamp with two lens, the frent Iens showing a white light and the rear lens a red light, ‘be carried on the left side of Willliam Jennings Bryan.—The world is weary of war. .If blood is necessary for the remission of sins, enough has been spilled to atone for the wrong done by all who live upon the earth. If sorrow is necessary to repentance and reform, enough tears have been shed to wash away all the crimes of the past. This last plague would seem to have been sufficiént to release the world from bondage to force—if so. mankind is ready to turn over a new leaf and set about the task of finding a way to prevent war. The work will be made easier by the fact that equal suffrage brings woman’s conscience to the aid of man's judg- ment and thus hastens the triumph of every righteous cause.

Of course, the law is not very well en- forced in some places because some public officials are derelict in duty and others are corrupt. The league will keep on guard.

Now workers cannot leave their places of employment if they are discontented with conditions, but must obey the man in charge of the factory. In other words, a revolu- tionary government, calling itself a soviet government and claiming tc represent a dictatorship of the prole- tariat, has been forced within two years to subject this ruling labor class to a system of government which pre- vailed in Russia one hundred years ago. M. P. Boynton, D. D., Chicago pas- tor.—Gambling is an ancient vice. It is one of the sins that has most tempt- ed and oppressed human flesh. The gambler is a disgusting personality. He is the wreck of a man. He is the sum of the loss of all values. He lives in an abnormal world. He is to all intents and purposes insane. He is intoxicated by gold. His yellow streak is all that is left of him. He is the essence of social poison; what- ever he touches dies. He is blind to beauty, deaf to harmony, and dead Ao the really vital things of life.

Opinion Of Canada Held By Bankers’ Trust Co. & Achievement,” is what the Bankers Trust Company, of New York, terms Canada in a study devoted to the resources, the trade, the financial and the physic- al development of the Dominion, which has just been published by “The Land of minion of Canada.” “The characteristic of the Cana- dian people which most impress the observer’ says the Bankers Trust Company,” is that of determination and achievement. “Vision and courage were necess- ary to bring the Canada of 1867 and the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with their combined population of less three million into a confederation. It took courage, in 1870, to bring into the confederation thé almost limitless territory stretching west- ward to the Pacific and northward to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Seas. “It took courage to link together this empire, greater in square miles than our own United States, by rail- roads running into the whtrodden wilderness. For nearly fifty years the men of Canada were busy con- quering the wilderness, and bring- bl adapted to meet ‘the problems of a great dem- ocracy. Then came the great war. Can- ada was ready. Immediately she set about mobilizing man-power. Great armies were transported over the sea and at once they began ‘‘to do things.”” If there was a difficult position to be held, a hard battle to be fought, an important post to be taken the Canadians made good. They had conquered the wilderness. By the use of the same quiet deter- mination, the same habit of achieve- ment, they could and would conquer the enemy. “Not only did they fight for the ‘<mpire, but Canada paid their bills. The war cost Canada nearly sixty thousand lives and over a billion and three-quarters in money. This gift of men and money in defense of the Empire came from a people | of tess than nine million. “Needless to say, continues the Bankers Trust Company’s’§ study, “such a record of achievement as is offered by the history of Canada during the fifty-odd years which have elapsed sinc: “Dominion Day” 1867 is not due to chance. Canada has been fortunate during this period in having in political life and-in busi- ness a group of able, resourceful, were not alone capable in action but morally strong, patriotic men who t | carringes.

Canada interchanges more business with us than with any other nation, not excepting the United Kingdom. “Canada has scarcely begun to grow. Her friendship and her busi- ness will be increasingly worth while. We have nothing to fear from Such development will only increase her need for greater quantities of goods from outside and her ability to pay for them.) “As her nearest and most conven- ient market” declares the Bankers Trust Company” we will have only ourselves to blame if we do not hold our pregent trade merely, but alsag add immeasurably thereto.” | 1 .said, ‘Take my advice and don’t, an NO; I11.—PERT REMARKS The chesty concert singer said to his friend, ‘I am thinking of touring South Africa, next year.” His friend osterich egg weighs two or three pounds you know.”’ What a differ- ence to that most lovable and inter- esting character Chopin, his delicate debarred him from every bodily ex- quisite grace, his physical condition debarred him from every bodilh ex- ertion, He was seriously restricted always by a lack of strength, and died at the age of forty. Listen to what Chopin said of himself, “I am well and in ‘good spirits, why, I do not know, but the people here ( Vien- na) are astonished at me, and I won- der at them for finding anything to wonder at in me. My manner of play- ing pleases the dadies so much, I move in the highest circles and I duo not know how I jgot there, I am in the world like an E string of the violin on a contrabass.” Living during the same period but in the little country of Belgium was de Beriot, a man of different habits. This talented violinist was appointed solo violinist to ‘William I. King of the Netherlands. “De Beriot’’ ‘re- ceived a New Year’s present of a dozen bottles of champagne from a wealthy friend. The violinist con- sumed the wine and returned the em- pty case with his card, on which he had written “encore,” his patron did not resent this, but sent a second lot with his visiting card, on which he had written the word “‘finale.” Joachim was another great violin- ist who is known as the most dis- tinguished teacher and greatest vio- linist of recent times. Joachim in- sulted the Kaiser, for when the Kaiser asked Joachim to teach two of his sons the violin, Joachim re- plied. “Your majesty, I fully appre- after that time Joachim was no long- er a favorite with the Kaiser. Joa- chim was the greatest teacher of his time, he took no pupil at any price who was not already an artist of tal- ent, yet we often think of the words of Jacob Abbott who said, never get out of patience with dullness or stu- pidity,”’ but ‘we are inclined to ques- tion when we read of an examiner asking the following questions and receiving these replies: What is a double sharp?

We have So far ciate the honor of teaching your sons, my time is so taken up with talented students that I find ‘it impossible to accept your majesty’s offer.” Ever but Iam very sorry to say that all! thousands of women who are won- derful singers—thousands of women ; who hold‘their audience for hours at {a time—after which they lay it in a cradle and rock it to sleep. : Stones T hat Grow Like Cabbages (Union Press Bureau Special) Forest, Ont., Nov. 9.—Stones that grow out of the shale shore of Lake Huron, great, round, smooth, mys- terious stones that actually sprout and grow like cabbages, that is the marvellous phenomenon that makes Kettle Point, six miles from the town of Forest, and not far distant from the c arnia, one of the remark- able spots. on the North American continent. When 1 stood on Kettle Point the other day, the November wind was keen, under a dull sky stretching endlessly above the miles of thresh- ing water. The surf curled in white welts about the promontory. But in the trough of the waves these strange stones reared their round backs like grey porpoises—for the water is shal- low about Kettle Point. And here and there, embedded like turnips in the stratified slate that formed the bluff of the cape, these living rocks clung and drew their nourishment. How the Stones Grow This sounds like a fairy story, or the prize contribution of the Ananias Club. But it-is not. Hundreds of tourists who go annually to view these freaks of nature can verify what I say. These stones first ap- pear like alleys—always smooth and round—in the slate rock; but gradu- ally they grow larger till they be- come monstrous foot-balls, splitting asunder the slate clics that confine them, and dropping into the water below. From far and near scientists have come to examine them; min- eralogists carry them off to test them. But they baffle investigation. Hard, rocky mineral in every apparent fea- ture, they still. have this strange quality of the vegetable world: they absorb nourishment and grow, a para- sitical excrescence on the slate shores from which they spring. A Tourist Centre More and more automobiles are making Kettle Point = Mecca for 1 to Kettle Point is a popular one, for | only does it involve a journey through a glorious garden of fruit- lands, but an unique motor thor- oughfare is found in the hard, sandy beach of Lake Huron, running for fifteen miles above Kettle Point. On this natural roadway one may spin along, mile on mile, the lake but a few feet distant on the one side, and on the other the leafy woods and the delightful aia of the sum- mer folk. . ° * * * s © s s s JUST SMILE AND FORGET eevee @ee#eee- > ° LJ J . s e o a .
