He would be entirely and absolutely wrong. Op- portunities are multiplying every day, the basic, conditions of success-have not changed in a thow- sand years, and competition is no keener than it sever was. There has never been a time when rmen simply drifted into top places. There were :always obstacles to test courage and fibre as weft "as1s1iil'd up individuality and character. The win- "tlet" has%variabrir demonstrated his capacity and 'his prdfiity. Without integrity and dependability mo man can forge ahead in the race, There are 1110 short roads to true success, and there are Cer- -tainly no crooked ones. That is worth remem- Wsering as the unchangeable foundation of' all things worth while. A highly successful American by adoption, who recently retired with millions of dollars and a splendid reputation-An other words he was "successful". in every way-has marked in his biography something that we believe will be con- firmed by the experience of most successful men. When he started his career as a poor boy, the possibility that he would succeed where so many had failed/that he could forge his way to the front among the horde of workers, seemed re- mote indeed. Yet, looking back now he is inr. pressed. with the smplicity of his advance. Core centrating his efforts on the task in hand, study- ing as an amusement, the task of the man above him and the man beside him, his promotion came asst matter of course and every step forward re- duced the number of his competitors and cleared the way for further advancement. He notes the changes in his training and the points of depar- ture into new and wider spheres, and, perspec- tivelv reviewing the hard work that marked his rise, he is amazed at the ease and the obviousness of it. Let this be an encouragement to the young man. but let him not forget the imperatve need of self-disciplines-Journal. V , Ten of these men who won out had a college education. There is enough in that fact to give it a definite value. Education is never a handi- cap, and is nearly always an incalcuable help ; but it is not enough by itself,) must be supported brstrong individuality, and be accompanied by energy, clearrheadedness, and a great deal of per- spiration. Not one of these men' could be classi- fied as a genius. They attained to places of high authority and responsibility by demonstrating fitness; and the qualities which earned them pro- moton were the product of development rather than native or peculiar skill. Not one of them could be regarded as a-specialist. They are all versatile men, and familiar with the science of raifroadhig,'froni"thie first rung of the ladder up. They owe more to thoroughness' in the work in hand than" to, extraordinary gifts. _ the importance of pertinacity. They started young and stuck to the job. They were not rolr- ing stones. Employers do not like nomadic em- ployees, and few of them get along well. There is always some qualification to this rule; but, speaking broadly, the man who wanders from place to place, lacking anchorage, loses out to the Man who is on the spot and giving satisfac- tion. The quality of patience may easily be over- done,, and make a dray-horse out of a fellow bereft of the spirit of adventure; but, on the other hand, restlessness has its perils. It sug- gets, a want of definite purpose. The emphasis is on the latter verb. They worked. They worked hard. They worker ine telligently, unselfishly and zealously. They wanted to rise. And they did rise. No man in this rough practical world of affairs ever made any headway who set himself to an eight-hour day. No man who works by the clock-ever will. His advancement would be contrary to the laws -'of economics and human nature. An employer naturally gives preference to the young man who is ambitious, loyal and in earnest about his work, who is constantly raising his standard, who every day and in every way tries to do better. The employer does so for his own sake and the young man's sake. I The average age of these 25 men when they l got to the top was 52. The average period of __ their ascent was " years: This plainly tells u§ l To such a young man his chief is not merely "the old man." He is a pattern, a man to please, a judge and a friend. Such a starter on the long march of high place realizes the importance of prospective rather than immediate values. He looks ahead. He does the simple and elementary tasks well. He thinks about his employer's in- ttrests. He sets his own pace, and sees to it that it is not slow. Only, the worker wins. There is such a thing as "pull" " this world; but for one man who advances because of special influ- ences operating in hit behalf, and holds his ad- vancement, a hundred rise on their merits. That puts practically every young man's worldly fate in his own hands. f Twenty-five heads of American railways re- ceive salaries of $50,000 a year and upwards. Such men are counted as successful. They have reached what might be assumed to be their goal. Seventeen of them entered railway service be- fore they were 21 years of age. Two were track laborers when they began, four were messengers or call boys, two were telegraph operators, two were clerks .and five were rodmen. All began in humble positions, and worked their way up. UBSCRIPTION Rp?Es-42.00 per year in advance to any address in Canada. $2.50 pear year in advance . to United States.

W] The paper industry of the United States will this year utilize 2,000,000 tons of waste paper in the manufacture of new paper. The biggest problem of the paper industry is the shortage of waste paper. To save waste paper is to save the forests. Every ton of paper used by the paper mills means just so much of our forest resources saved for the future, Taking good pulp wood as an examp'i'e; it can be said Vthvat use ot six tons of waste paper is equal to saving of one acre of timber; a Customs and excise revenue for the month of January, 1923, shows a satisfactory increase over the same month in 1922. The total revenue from customs imports duties, excise taxes, excise du- ties and sundry collections this month amounted to $22,516,986, as compared wth $17,195,744, in January, 1922. Collections of customs import duties during the month just ended totalled $9,- 825,403/as compared with $9,064,054, in January, 1922. Excise taxes yielded $10,095,446, as against $5,580,616 in 1922. The total realized from ex- cise duties during the present month was (il2,486,- 100, or aboutf‘the same as last year. Sundry col- lections during the month totalled $110,035. The total revenue for the ten months of the fiscal year ending to-day was $229,289,217, as compared with $191,395,250 during the ten-month period last "year. _ A The Provityee _of Ontario" gives the best re- sults, 73 per Cent. of the amount due by Soldier settlers haing-been paid into the board.

For the firsttime in nearly a quarter ora (cpntprpr, the Liberal-Conservatives of Quebec made a good showing in a provincial contest on Monday night of last week. In spite of the fact that the election was sprung in the middle of winter with only three weeks' notice, with the election machinery in the hands of the Liberal" party, and with the full strength of the dominion and; provincial administrations thrown into the contest, the Conservatives, who had only five seats in the last house, came out of the contest with 22, carrying 15 out of the 17 seats in the Montreal district, and two in Quebec city. Among the elected Conservatives are some of the ablest men of the province. Aside from all party considerations it is not good for the country that any province should be continually in the con- trol of one party. If harmony is to prevail in Canada there must be equality of representation and a fair distribution of the responsibility of government. A good day's work for all Canada was done by the-people of Quebec when they elected twenty-two members in opposition to the party which has ruled with such a high hand for so many years. The settlenient figures completed to the end of December last show 22,548 settlers), with loans amounting' to, $93,235,902.

F ussing over "what may happen" is liable to make as many people sick as disease will, and the thing to do if you have a cold or feel indisposed is to exercise common-sense, and, if necessary, call a doctor. _ The Free Press on several occasions recently has referred to the remarkable success of the Soldiers' Settlement Board in locating returned men on the, land. _ Official figures' on the repay- ment of loans for the past year just issued show that the farmer-soldiers have. on the whole, passed through a satisfactory' year and have done astonishingly well in meeting their payments. No bne taking the country as a whole, knows from what sources these taxes are raised, and in what relative amounts.

Jllllrs CHURCH LENTEN SERVIGES Special Preparation Has Been Made for the Various Services During This Season This is the first day of the great Lenten season. It is a time when there is a serious effort put forth by a large number of churchmen to bring them- selves into a closer relationship with the living God. It is not a new plan, but has been the custom for many ages, and is most helpful, and does de- velop those who will, devote themselves to the season's aims. St. John's Church is putting forth a special effort to make this season one of the best that has been held in this church. So- cial services are arranged. A splendid selection of leading men in the city will deliver addresses during the Sunday ‘evening services. The members of the church are to be congratulated upon the men who will be here. All are leaders in their respective spheres. One of the features will be the children's services held every Thursday afternoon. This gives the children the opportuni- ty of learning the true meaning of self-denial and its great benefits to any person. One Sunday morning the vicar is taking a special course of sub- jects.

Mathers, Grif- fith, Brosht and Vareoe, each scoring one. Baldock in goal for the visitors, played a good game, only letting one get by him . One of the most inspiring meetings of, the season, under the direction of the young people of, the Methodist Church was held on Monday evening, and all who braved the elements were well repaid for their efforts. Mr. Geo. Baldock, as chairman, conducted the opening exercises, and introduced the speaker, Rev. Mr. Holmes. Although a stranger to many,, he quickly won the hearts and undivided attention of hi audience, who listened with breath- less interest, as he told of the work being done in Japan, also adding an additional note of interest by his ref- erences to the work carried on by the late Mr. Emberson. Mr. Holmes has spent a number of years in the Orient, and is only enjoying a short furlough before returning to his field of ser- vice. Speaking of his work, he out- lined the beauty, and magnificence of this eastern country. The avenues of trees are verrpicturesque. The blos- somin.g of cherry trees reminded us of a good old Canadian town. The Japanese are very industrious, and silk worms and mulberry trees form a prominent part in Japan: A magnifi- cent hall was built to house tire dele- gates to the World's Sunday School Convention. The decorating df the hall was carried out with very minute care. put while the 'convention was in progress the great building caught The regular sewing tea in connection with the Weston branch of the Gren- fell Mission was held on Thursday at- ternoon last at the home of Mrs. Jno.

Owing to this game deciding the group leadership, much interest was shown, and consequently many spectators were on hand to see the match. The game was fairly fast and yetinteresting, but the Method- ists had the stronger team and won: out by the close score of 1-0. _The score, however, is note good indication of the play, as the Methodist boys had most of the play, and it was only the good work of Beardall, the Arr: glican tletjuardian, that stopped the Methodists .from getting Tore) goals.; The Methodists' had many shots on the, Anglieans' goal, while they oh the other hand had only a few‘on the Methodist citadel, and as these were mostly from outside the defence, Campbell had no difficulty in stopping them., The game ‘was not character- ized by combination, but individual rushes predominated. _ The only goal of the game was scored by Dean Ma-. thers in the last period, it being a fast shot from just past centre.
