"It I were an atheistâ€"and I am not-«l should say. 'Do not inter- fere with the Christian religion. Look at the civilization it has pro- «.luced.‘ It is the Christian reli- gion that. has made the world what it is. The British workman may not read the Bible, but behind the British workmen there is the Bible. and in all our legislation which we make in Parliament there is the Bible. You cannot el- iminate it. from the life of this na- tion or the world. Wherever the Christian religion is, no matter what its difficulties are. it tri- umphs because it is true." ' If for nothing else than the civili- zing influence it has exercised on the world. the Bible should be in the hands of all nations. It. is everlast- ingly true that “the entrance of Thy word giveth light" and “where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.” Addressing the members of the British and Foreign Bible Society. at. their recent annual meeting in London. England. the Chairman, Sir Gilbert Parker, in a notable speech, called attention to the great civiliz- ing influence that the Bible had exerted on the nations of the world. Over the whole world. the speaker said. he had travelled and had opâ€" portunity to see. the work of the Society. As a result of his Observa- tion he had this to say: Seltishness is at the root. of trifling.

'l‘he forty-first international con- vention of the, Y. M. C. AIS Of North America will be held at Young‘s Mil- lion Dollar Pier, Atlantic City. N.J.. November 14-19. Unexampled growth in membership and activities since the last triennial meeting in 1919 are pointed out in the call for the con- vention. signed by Alfred E. Marlin", chairman, and Dr. John R. Mott. "en- eral secretary. "Probably never be- fore." says the call. "have we been called together to counsel about more varied or more important issues.” At these triennial conventions the International Committee, composed of 200 business and professional men from all States and Canadian Prov- inces, is elected by the several thou- sands of delegates, and instructions are formulated to guide the Commit- tee’s course as general agent at home and abroad of the 2,200 North Amer- ican associations. The regular Baptists in Russia hear the name of Baptist Evangelical Christians. ~'l‘here is another body called Evangelical Christians that is iaptist in faith though not in‘ name. and negotiations are now under way to unite these two bodies. Dr. Ev- erette Gill, EuI‘Opean representative of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist ('2<_ni\'eiitir)11. says: “If Russian Baptists continue to show the same ctiarz‘icteristics that have distinguishecgl them during the last hall-century, I predict that after union with the Evangelical Christ- ians, which would probably put them in the second place numeric-al- ly amongpthe Baptists of the world, there will arise in Russia one of the most \‘iri‘le, wellâ€"organized, apostol- ic. self-sacrificing. selfâ€"propagating, enthusiastic, soul-winning and vic- torious bodies of Baptists to be found in all the world.” ' Recial feeling in Palestine is strong. The market place of Jeru- salem is neutral ground, where all the inhabitants may meet safely,‘but the rest of the city is divided into Mohammedan. Jewish and Christian quarters. and the dwellers in one district are not expected to. invade another. Addressing the recent gathering of the General Assembly of the Ifnited Free Church of Scotland, Dr. Donald Fraser, Moderator of the Assembly, told the story of an African convert to illustrate the power of Christ to change the life of the worst. of men. He said: "I knew a man whose hands were red with blood from boyhood, whose manhod was famous for deeds of bravery and wild passion- ate cruelty. To him God came and the whole current of his life was changed. He became a gentle hus- band, a tender father, he was known throughout the land for his hospitality and courtesy, respect- ed by Government for his progres- sive activity. loved by black and white. alike. He was an ardent evangelist. and was ready for or- dination when God took him. I saw him die. He lay in the lap of his faithful wife, and sang with her in his own language. “Nearer my God. to 'l‘hee. nearer to 'liheef and while he was still singing he slept and passed across the river into the glory. Ask his children to-day what changed their father. and they will answer, The Cross of , Christ." I Special Privileges. The western grain growm‘ loves to expatiate on the freedom of his par- ty and policy from “Special privil- ege.” Never was there a“ greater tight made for “special mfivileges" than by the prairie pt‘ttigi'essives last session and that "special I‘li‘iw’ilege" at the expense~of the farmers of On- tario. Quebec, British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces. When they demanded and secured the special privilege of thespecial grain rates in the Crow‘s Nest Pass Agreement, they imposed an additional burden of millions of dollars on the farmers of other provinces. Wheat transporta- tion below normal rates means that, other agricultural products had to be tranSported at above normal rates to balance the railway revenue. This was done and the farmers of Eastern Canada are being taxed to give Mr. Crerar and his grain growers the benefit. This could only be accomâ€" plished by the coâ€"operation of the Ontario Prograssives, who blindly followed Mr. Crerar and sacrificed the interests of the Ontario farmers. In 1921 the value of the farm pro- ducts in Canada was $396,233,000 and of this the three prairie prov- inces produced $477,240,000 as iagainst $818,993,000 in the other :provinces. The grain rates on the Crow’s Nest. Pass Agreement being adepted, to the transportation of 3818993000 agricultural products of J the Eastern Provinces and British Columbia is added ten million dolâ€" lars at least and this amount is taken from the. tranSportation charge on the 5477240000 of prairie farm pro- ducts. In the province of Ontario alone there was produced; on the farm products of the value of $441,- 418,000 or almost as much as in three prairie provinces. Every Progres- sive member from Ontario voted to relieve the western farmer of mil- lions of' fair freight charges and have the Ontario farmer pay high rates and in addition the millions that the western farmer does not have to pay. The Ontarior'Progressives sacrificed their own people at .the dictation of Messrs. King and Crerar. What‘ do the Ontario farmers think of' the King-Crerar-Drury policy or “pro- vincial rights” and “no special priv- ileges” as exemplified by the notor- ious freight rate deal? SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO WESTERN FARMERS Riordan business profits’ taxes re- main unpaidfi The Liberal Govern- ment has been in power for seven months and no effort has been made to collect the half million dollars owed by Riordans to the federal treasury. It will be remembered that during the last election campaign one of the charges against the gov- ernment was accepting a note in- stead of forcing payment from this company at the time in grave diffiâ€" culties. The great. Riordan concern, the largest of its kind in Canada, found itself in serious financial dif- ficulties early in 1921. An appeal was made to the t’ederafiovernment for an extension of time . r payment of its business profits tax of the 'previous year. It was pointed out that if payment was forced there would be a complete collapse of this fit'ty million d011ar pulp, paper and lumber corporation. Further repreâ€" sentations showed that other similar industries would be seriously af- fected if there were such a collapse. It. was a period of unexampled busiâ€" ness depression and unemployment. After serious consideration the gov- ernment decided that a deferred ob- ligation was better than a commer- cial crisis and intensified unemployâ€" ment and the payment was deferred. Throughout the whole Dominion it was charged by Liberals and Proâ€" gressives that the government. was the creature of the Big Interests in doing this. In vain was it shown that the same consideration had been shown farmers. merchants, news-‘ papers and others in arrears suffer-f ing from the business depression and ‘ uncertainty. It was promised by the (mpoiieiits ot' the gtgn'tu‘nnieiit. that a change, in government. would be followed by the immediate colâ€" lection ot‘ the Riordan arrearages. 'l‘here -came a change of government seven months ago and the tax arrear- ages remain uncollected. Wthy‘.’ Wflflmfi I OUR OTTAWA LETTER iii“?

As a matter of fact, the Canadian made shoes are built for wear as well as comfort, while the American article is short-lived, though stylish.

He was charged with wife desertion and eloping with an 18-year-old affinity. He says his first wife ate with her knife and was no inspiration. Incidentally. while he was living with the one who could not inSpire him, nine children were born. We wonder that the poor creature had even time to eat with.a knife and doll up a weak- minded critter of his. calibre. A liberal dose of the lash would he a darn good inspiration to help Culp to do the right thing. we presume this will be an excellent. opportunity to those who always point to the ministry and condemn them when one goes astray. Every walk of life has- its hypocrites and the ministry is not immune. However, this should not leave the fine. Godly men, who are doing their duty, open to innuendo and slander.' An Americn gallon is somewhat. smaller than an imperial measure. five American gallons being the e- quivalent of four Canadian gallons. Toronto and Western Ontario pa.â€" pers have also been featuring the wide divergcncy in the price of gas- oline on the Canadian and American side of the river at Niagara Falls. One explnation given is that the Ca- nadian retailers along the border sell so little gasoline as compared with US. competitors that the former have to charg a larger profit than American stations, which operate on a margin as low as a centand a half a gallon. Neither wholesale 0r retail'dealers have been able to Offer any satisfac- tor-y explanation for the spread be- tween the prices on the American and Canadian sides of the St. Clair. as i; is 0V er and aboxe customs dut- ies. The difference in price between the Canadian gallon measure and a like quantity of gosoiine purchased on. the American side is now boosted from 8 to 10 cents. and the already large number of local cars crossing to the American side on the last half gallon and returning with a full tank and some to spare, is expected to increase. unless there is a corres- ponding reduction in Sarnia.
