FEE a Ei'. PAGE TWO The dancing craze, which is causing so many white people to make fools of themselves, has taken possession of the Walpole Island TIr. dians. "They want to dance all night, anl no one wants to work next day." "'tt's got to be cut out," says Chief Red Knife. If the Chief insists upon the enforcement of his order, his scalp will soon be dangling: at the belt of one of the dusky braves. Nothing can stop either white or red from dancing, once the disease gets into the blood. _ ' to thenvorld. The greatest of these ambassa- dors declared that he determined not to know anything among those to whom he had been sent save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He had a great commission to discharge, a glorious truth to communicate, a wonderful experience to relate, and he would not turn aside to matters of secondary and small importance in the deliv~ ery of his divine message. N _ , .. 7A __c_m,a_Ces., a: tD M, u. my *._er'--_ -__--_" Q There is no.reason for the perpetuation of the pulpit if it has no message for us from God, if we cannot feel that he who speaks from the sacred desk is an abmassador of Christ. If we wish to listen to discussions in philosophy, art, science, or literature, we can be served litter elsewhere. If we want to inform ourgelves on the social or political problems of the day there are books and magazines available/and men to \whom we may go who have made a special study of these subjects. If we are looking for enter- tainment, the church cannot Compete with the opera. The great function of the church is spir- itucil----the mediating of the divine message and the building up of her members in Christian character. The church cannot afford' to take lower ground'than this. To descend from this high platform in order to come into competition with secular attractions would be to suffer the loss of that which constitutes the chief glory of the church. , . _ _ We go to the hOuse of God for worship. 1Ve want to shut out the jarring voices of the world on one day, and to hear what God the Lord will say to our souls, We do not want to listen to speculations or uncertainties, immature theoriz-. ings or semi-political harangues, or even to nice- ly polished moral essays or mere literary pro- ductions. The sermon that has in it no message from the King; of Kings, hat missed its aim and might as well not have been spoken. The min- ister of Christ who brings to as a message, the truth of which he has verified in his own life is sure of a respectful hearing and of a glad re- sponse. He who thus goes forth, bearing pre- cious seed/will doubtless come again bringing his sheaves with him.-Prslyterian. c, , _ ads. not exceeding: six lines; over that So per each ex- tra line.

It were as sad aHiscomfiture of the evo- lutionary processes for the preacher to turn man of the world, or pedant, as for the artist to be- come moralist or prophet. The lavish symbols of sacrifice bequeathed us by the saints have am- ply jystified the narrowing vocation of holiness." The first preachers of the great evangel were men who bore a message of supreme importance bl The preacher, of the Gospel is first and above all else a man with a message-the great- est message ever given to the human race. In a striking article on "The Seven worst sermons," which appeared some years ago in’the Atlantic Monthly,- the writer,- W. A. Snhith, said: "The only reason for the Preacher's encumbering the earth at all is that there is somewhat to tell which God desires told concerning religion; and if we prostitute our lofty office to the, perform- ance of pale intellectual feats and other trivial indulgtnces revelation becomes by so much the 'JBSCRIPTION P.ATEs---$2.tltl per year any address in Canada. $2.50 'pear 1m co United States.

The members of the Livestock Exchange put on a campaign to illustrate by -immediate contrast the commercially good and bad types of cattle, hogs and sheep. Side by side with each pen of desirable stock was a pen of undesirable, poorly- marketable stuff. The plan was explained in the "Market Examiner" as follows: "A notice of'stock breeders explained that the Edmdnton Livestock Exchange were not advo- cating any particular breed of battle, hogs or sheep, but that they were emphasizing the nec- essity of: ," ' , 1. Raising" the highest grade of commercial stock b better breeding methods; w. 251%}etter finishing of stock before marketing to command the top market prices; 3. To prevent flooding the market at any one time by a more even distribution of ship- ments throughout the year. So much has been written about bacon type hogs during the past year that the hog exhibit of the Exchange was even more attractive to the farmer than last year. Two hogs, which were splendidly representative of the best type had been secured, and when the pen in which they were was reached in the progress from the large rough type, the contrast was most striking. Ov- er above this pair was printed: 'Grade select ba- con type. This is the type that produced Wilt- shire bacon sides. In demand for export trade. Will in future ’command 'a premium. Why not raise this class of hog? Select weight from 150 to 220 pounds. Top market price-the kind to raise,,220 pounds it 13c---$28. v The British Treasury Department has issued a statement showing taxation per head in the United Kingdom for the current year is over £17. In the United States taxation this year per head will be $26.12; in. France, 516:6, francs; in Germany, 2,245 marks, excluding the' forced loan, which is to yield 70,000,000,000 marks, or 1,167 per head. Taxation per head in Australia last year was S8.5, and in South Africa, 392.5. Besides these in the next pen were found the light heavy weight hogs from 220 to 250 pounds. The placard above again told the market story that this grade sells at $1.00 per cwt. less. so that a 230 poundhog at $12 would bring $27.50. The next grade-that of medium heavy weight ---is from 250 to 300 pounds. This grade sells at $2.00 per cwt. less than_a 260 pound hog at 11c would bring $28.60. In the next pen was an extra heavy weight hog of 310 and over, which at the present market price would bring 10c, or 3c less per pound than the select. 4 310 pound hog would bring but $31. The pertinent ques- tion printefabove: 'Why" produce the extra weight and get nothing for it ?' goes a long way in convincing the observer that there is no ob- L . . . . . Ject m working for nothing and givmg away the feed into the bargain." N year ue to the community, and transportation of all kinds by this means is certain to increase. .. The widening of streets rendered necessary by motor and street car traffic, and also by the general growth of the city, has frequently cut off the boulevard where formerly children could play in comparative safety. The children have been driven into the streets by an inevitable trend of events, and the city must provide more play- grounds for them. They cannot be cooped up in their homes. For physical and moral reasons they must be given more room to grow. The money spent on additional playgrounds will make them better citizens. It will prove a good investment and save many precious lives every on a charge of wearing her skirts too short. There are 1500 residents of Middletown, and, a Press despatch declares, nearly every family was represented at the preliminary hearing. There were no doubt many skirts quite as short as that worn by Mrs. Slessen, a fact which should in- fluence the judgment of the jury of women who are to try" the case. According to the Hon. Dr. King, Canada is to have a “new immigration policy." It is to be hoped that it will not be of a character to en- courage people to come to Canada who will not be ready to observe the laws of the country and to become Canadians. The oft-repeated story that what Canada requires is greater population is quite true. But the character of the popula- tion is much more important than the number. Provide work for all who are residents of Can- ada now and the news will soon reach the far- thest part of the earth, and desirable people will find their way to/ the Dominion. "A sat- isfied customer is the best advertisement," is fre- quently read. A satisfied and prosperous coun- try will attract the right class of population. _ For years and years fads and freaks have found favor in United States Cities. Middleton, Pa., is furnishing evidence of the distance a love of revenge will take persons of a peculiar type. A neighborhood feud between the Bedgers and Slessers has found its way into: court. Mrs. islvin-iai Slessen is held in E5200 bail for trial at the September session of the Common Pleas Court after she had been arrested and arraigned Hon. Dr. Cody retiarned last Friday from a two-months' visit to the Old Land. Twice he preached in Westminster Abbey, once at the consecration of three bishops, and again at an ordinary service. He also preached before the King and members of the Royal Family at the Chapel at Buckingham Palace, the first Cana- dian clergyman to have had that distinction. Dr. Cody is a great Churchman and a great man, bringing honor to his, city and country and in- spiration to those to whom he ministers so faith- fully in St. Paul's Church, Toronto. 's The jury in the case of a little boy who was run'over and killed by an automobile on one of the city streets recommended greater caution by motor drivers, more supervision of children by parents, and a law to make such supervision more effective. The recommendations are good, as far as they go, but do not touch the real dif- ficulty, says The Globe. Where are children to play nowadays, especially in the poorer parts of the city? The automobile has proved its val- A HINT FOR FALL FAIRS THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Lesson IX, Golden text-The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Jas. 5: 16.

Place-Shut-Fan., Exposition-U. Nehemiah hears of the affliction and reproach of the Remnant, 1-3. N This Week's S. S. Lesson Nehemiah was one of the purest- hearted patriots the world has ever known. Born and reared in a foreign land, himself a high favorite at the foreign court, with everything in the way of wealth and position that heart could desire, still his whole thought was for his people in their misfortune and humiliation, trying to rebuild the city of their fathers. The fact that he himself was greatly prospered did not content him in the least as long as. Jerusalem was in dishonor and his peo- ple in distress. The foundation of his patriotism, as the foundations of all true and lasting patriotism, was reli-. gious. To him came the fulfilment of the promise, "they shall prosper that love Jerusalem" (PS. 122: 6-8). The answer to Nehemiah's eager question was most disheartening (v. 3). But all this was in accordance with prophecies made to the Jews in the daysof their prosperity and pride '11 _Kings‘ 9:7; Jer. 24: 9; 29r18). II. Nehemiah's Prayer 4-11. l "The; sorrow of his, people was his ‘own sorrow. It was no pang of pass- liug sympathy, but an overwhelming lgrief that lasted dor days. What a lesson for us who are saved ourselves [and quite content with that; have no id model prayer. (1) The prayer be-, gins with worship, with adoring Coll- ieinplation of the clraracter,rruajesty and-faithfulness of God. Nehemiah encourages his faith by dwelling upon who and what God is as revealed in His word (Dent. 7:21; Ex. 20:6; cf. Dent. 7:9; cf. Dan. 9A; 1 Kings 8:23); Nowhere idle, thoughtless, taking the namtrof the Deity upon the lips. Note mrc'ttrret'ully the character of God as here set forth and for whomit is He "keep- !eth covenant" (cf. Jno. ll: 13-23; 15: Il). (2) The prayer was persistent, l“day and night" (cf. Lu. 2: 37; 18: 7; 1 Tim. 5:5; 2 Tim. 1:3). (3) It was accompanied with confession of sin (ct. Ea. 9:6, 7; Ps. t32.. 5; Dan. 9: 1, 20, ff; 1 Jno. 1:9). The cordes- sion was definite and Nehemiah in- cluded (himself among the sinners against God (cf. Isa. 6:5; Dan. 9:5, 6). The confession was thorough-go- ing, "very corrupt." When any one sees the real character of his conduct before God he will regard it as "very corrupt." (A) The prayer is built up on God's own word of promise (vs. 8, 9; cf. Lev. 26: 39-42; Dent. Al: 29-31; 30: 2-5; Jer. 31: 10-12, 37; Ezk. 36: PA). The man who would pray with power should study the promises of God and then plead'them in hirpray- ers to God (Jno. 15:7). The word of God concerning the scattering of Is- rael if they transgressed had been fulfilled to the letter (Lev. 26: 33; Deut. l: 25-27; 28:6l), and ’so Nehe- miah might be surethat the word of God concerning their restoration if they repented would be fulfilled to the letter. Nehemiah called upon God to remember His word, that He always does. (5) The prayer appealed to'cthe fact of the relation of the Jews to. Gsscl---"these are _thy servants and thy people" (cf. Ex. 32:11), and to the fact of what God had already done for them, "redeemed" them. In our pray- ers to God we have a right to plead our relationship to Him-we are His children-und our position as redeem- ed in Christ. This we do by praying in the name of Christ. Nehetniah's specific petition was for favor before the king. This prayer was granted (ch. 2:25.) We can always obtain fa- vor before man by appealing to God for it (Prov. 21:1). (6) The prayer was intensely earnest. Note the It- peated, "l beseech thee" (Ac. 12:5, Pc.V.; Lu. 2214; Heb. 5:7). Nehemiah met the conditions of pre- vailing' prayer, be "delighted to fear" Jehovah's "name” (cf. Ps. 37: Ll; 1 Jim. 3:22). ti 9:3, ft). rlis prayer was accompan- ied by fasting. There is no Virtue in merely Yoing without t1ecessurrfood, bat there is power in that downright earnestness in prayer and that huutil- iation of self and realization of one's utter unworthiness before God that leads one to forego even the necessi- ties of life that one may seek God's favor and obtain God’s help (cf. Dan. 9:3; Acts 13: 2; 3: 14-23). Nehemiah was doing the very best thing and what God had hidden them centuries before to do in such an emergency as this (2 Chron. 7:14). The prayer it- self is, worthy of careful study. "It is Sold by Richardson's Drug Ste}; ' IX. August 27, 1922, NEHEMIAH'S PRAYER Pastor, REV. FORBES ROBERTSON Pastor, A. s.
