Importation of firearms into Abyssinia from America is greatly hindering peace and the pragress of civilization in that isolated land. These firearms are used, among oth- er things, to promote slave raids on British territory. Dr. Dyce, attach- ed to the British Legation at Adis, Ahaha, says that 10,000 slaves were taken to the slave market at J imma. Many were killed in the raids and hundreds died on the march. If the importation of firearms and ammu- nition could be prevented it would be more easy to put a stop to this trafl‘ic in human beings. European powers have agreed to make arms and ammunition contraband but Am:- erica is not a party to the agreement. It is incongruous that Abyssinia, the only remaining independent state in frica, should he the only home of slavery, and that America should indirectly support slave trade. Mr. Cecil Harmsworth, Under- Secretary of State for Foreign Af- fairs in the House of Commons. stat- ed that many of the slaves in Abyâ€" ssinia are British subjects forcibly seized b1 raiders who crossed into Briish teriitory in the Sudan or in East Africa. “The essential thing to do is to limit the supply of arms and ammu- nition to Abyssinia. Without tire- arms the slavers would be unable to capture and carry 011‘ their victims.” Four Regina young ladies, all of whom served overseas as nurses with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, have taken up work in variâ€" ous Indian settlements in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, under the SUpeI‘ViSiOIl 0f the Department of Indian Affairs. Each carries a com- plete outfit of medicines and simple remedies for first-aid work and other treatment, and each has been allotted a district in which she wfil us“. the homes and schools, with Special aid to Indian women. No one who has had any experi-l ence of it, can for an instant. question‘ the value and efficacy of prayer. but. it is equally true that God never does for us what we ought to do and can do for ourselves. This has been recently put by means of two old, but pertinent, stories: I remember an old story I read when I was a boy, of a priest in Ireland. I think, who was pass- ing from one field to another praying over them in the Spring, when he came to a very unpromâ€" ising patch ‘ot' ground. He sur- veyed it with his spectacles and without them. and then remark- ed: “My children, it is no use praying here. This needs man- ure.” Froude tells a very similar story “of an Australian Bishop who was asked to pray for rain. but answered that the meteoro- logical statistics showed that a sufficiency of rain to supply the needs of the district fell every year, andithat until the peOple made provision for the storage ‘or the rain that fell in the wet season for use in the dry, he refused to do as they desired.” There is no contradiction between prayer and effort. Christ bade His disciples pray, and then sent them out to answer their own prayers. One of thodireciors of the Stand- ard Oil Company, himself a Bible reader, was one day reading the sec- ond chapter of Exodus. it is said.

Following are a few American press Opinions on what is considered one of the greatest motion picture pro- ductions ever staged: New York Times: “To find a play that is equally broad in scope and epoch-(11 in its implications one must go back to the Elizabethansâ€"for ex- ample to Shakespeares Antony and CleOpatra.” New York World: “There can be little question that this cinema pro- duction . . . will be seen by the whole world with a ringing of hearts . . . it is well nigh perfect.” New York Globe:_ “It is a picture to renew your faith in film produc- tion and to make you forget the 1131‘- rors in the screen reproduction of other masterpieces.” roit Journal: ‘The thousands ' ‘ _+ whom The Four Horsemen of The airing of some For TheQ uiet Hour third verse caught his attention. . It reads, “She took for him an ark of hulrushes, and dauhed it with slime and with pitch.” He reasimed that where there was slime (bitumen) and pitch there must be oil, and if there was oil in Moses’ time there must he oil there now. An expert geologist was sent to Egypt, with the result that that wells are now pour- ing oil into the Standard Oil Com- pany. “There are to-day 25,000 American and EurOpean missionaries scattered throughout the world, each one of them a devoted friend to some for- eign tribe or nation or race, demon- strating his friendship by offering his life. . . . . Each mis- sionary life isbut a slender filament, stretched between the nations, but aItOgether they constitute a woven network from which no nation can escape.”--W. H. P. Faunce. The purpose of the Bible is to re- veal. The whole book might be call- ed God’s revelation to man, and its revelations depend upon the way" it is read. ‘Yesterday morning I received a letter from one to VV hom I have givâ€" en my heart and devoted my life. I‘ freely confess to you that I have read that letter five times, not because I did not understand it at the first reading, nor because I expected to commend myself to the' author by frequent reading of his epistle. It was not with me a question of duty, but simply one of pleasure. I read it because I am devoted to the one who wrote it. To read the Bible .with the same motive is to read it dl‘VOHOIlany. and to the one who reads it in that spirit, it is indeed a low-letter.” A young lady, asked by a friend to explain what is meant by the “de- votional reading of the Bible,” made answet as followzs "Repeaters?” "Yes. that is the problem,” said a Juvenile Court otficer: “Fourteen years since this court has been es- tablished, and the number of repeat- ers is as great as ever.” ‘ Knowing that juvenile delinquen- cy occurs mainly among children from broken homes, the Woman‘s Department of the Chicago Church Federation began the work of con- necting these homes with the near- est churches. In eight months 442 homes were permanently under the watchful care of a specific church, and 300 children from these families were taken into Sunday schools. It is significant that from these fam- ilies only five were found to have church connections. There have been no repeaters and no new cases from the families who have thus been placed under lhe watchful care of Christian women, each one of whom undertook to be a “friend” to a family. General Feng’s army in Shensi, China, is practically a Christian army. At a recent service in camp 966 were baptized and 4,604 paI'tOOk of communion. Japan has appointed a Christian as head of the Department of Education and Religion for Korea, who aims at giving a New Testament to every poâ€" licoman in the Province. tune of sacred allegory, made a.

A picture you cannot afford to miss.” Chicago Tribune: “Go and see ‘The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse’ . . . It is worth your time and money.“ Chicago News: “Many pictures you can afford to miss, but not ‘The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” Boston Traveler: “It is avéroat pictur‘e . . .In every way it lives up to its promises . . .

GARRICK WOMAN SUICIDBS Mrs. Theresa Schmitzler of Carâ€". rick Tonnship was found drowned in the water trough at the ham 0: her premises on Wednesday morn- ing of last week and indictaions pointed to suicide. .Coroner Dr. M.

' All IDEAL STOP-DP! Pom With the advent of reduced fares to Alberta and British Columbia pOints, many who have long antici- pated seeing the Canadian Rockies and Pacific Coast will make the jour- ney this year. To them, and to the individual travelling “Across Can- ada,” for purely busness reasons, the “Natonal Way” and the Canadian National Railways’ premier trains, :the “Continental Limited” and the “National” appeal most strongly, the lroute connecting as it does the great iurban centres of Canada, and tra- ’versing regions of outstanding inter- est. The various Canadian National hostelries en route suggest excellent stOpâ€"ofi‘ points and are noted for the excellence of their service. To their number is added this year Jasper Park Lodge on Lac Beauvert. JASPER PARK LODGE Jasper Park, Alberta, in the Cana- dian Rockies, is the largest of Can- ada’s National parks, its area of 4,- 400 square miles offering unlimited holiday possibilities to the tourist and the sporteman. .Dolly Varden trout lurk in the clear, pure moun- tain streams. Beautiful transparent lakes mirror the encircling moun- tains, and a new unspoiled Alpine wonderland of snow-crowned peaks and verdant valleys gladdens the eye. In this delightful setting on Lac Beauvert, three miles from Jasper Station, (with which it is connected by motor car service), is Jasper Park Lodge, operated by the Canadian Na- tional Railways’ Hotels Department, and now open for the reception of guests.

Whistlers Mountain, Col- on Range, Roche Benhomme, are but a few of the mighty peaks that meet the gaze. Riding is of cOurse the popular pastime and ponies are a- vailable for this exhilarating sport. Within easy reach of the Lodge, a- foot or by motor car, are numerous points of interest. Maligne Canon: and Gorge, one of the most interest- ing attractions in the Park, is but six miles distant. Easily accessible streams will tempt the fisherman. The amateur photographer will revel in nature’s bounteousness. Animal, bird and plant life is found in won- derful! vtariety. Seventy different species of birds, seven hundred dif- ferent species of plants and flowers, have been accounted for, and within the confines 0f the park (which is a bird and game preserve), are big- horn mountain sheep and goat: bear, cinnamon, brown and black; caribou and moose, elk, beaver, otter, marten and deer. For those more venturesome, who would explore the more difficult and extended trails, guides, ponies, pack- horses and complete outfits can be obtained at the Lodge, from which point also parties set out on. hunting expeditions beyond the confines of the Park.
