SIR WILLIAM VAN HORNEâ€"AN UNHYPHENATED CHARACTER. The persbnal tributes to the late Sir William Van Horne, have ex- hibited a: rare unanimity of praise. Few men in public life can expect to deserve as warm an ap- preciation as is paid him by Sir Thomas Shauglm-essy, who says; “His Was a great mind, a great heart, and a lofty soul.” But one aspect of the Canadian railroad-builder’s character which has been overlooked may-be in- stanced here by reason of its timely force as an example and a contrast. That was his whole- hearted devotion to his adopted country. When he gave up his citizenship in the United States he gave it up entirely and with no string attached to it. He became a British subiect in the full meaning)‘ of the term and with no confused idea of conditional allegiance to the “Fatherland” he had deserted. The quality of his loyalty tO‘Can- ada and Canadian interests was sufficiently demonstrated by his bitter opposition to reciprocity, to which The World has prE’ViOUSLV' called attention. There was no hyphenated sop- histry about Sir 'William Van Horne-’5 Cana’iian citizenship. and the fact entitled him to an added respect from the country he has! abandonedâ€"New YOrk VVOrld- MIGHT NEED THEM “After de sax-mint, t’mor Onizht Brudder Simmons” mid 01d Dea- con \Vhang. “WC-52‘] is gxflnc to have a rousin’ hnsanner moot'm’ an“? burn up yo’ paragraphs. bless 3.: LaWd!” “Burn up which, snh ‘P” I‘Ctm‘n?’1 Goat Simmans, the recently con- vcrtc-d gambling man. in consider- a‘i‘k astonishment. “YO’ gamblin’ Dara-graphs, 5:111- \Vhen a. spo’tin’ man gits con» verted and washed Whiter dam snow, (19y .allus burns up his kyads an" dice an’ sech .sczmlos stuff as dat. mid loud shouts .of praise.

He’s the man that discovered ax cut log ends in Aleut Sam’s fire on Edith island when we knew Sam had no ax with him. He’s the man I owe a lot to." “Me afso,” said Jurgensen venomous- ly as he bowed his head. “Vot you vantâ€"your terms?” he asked at last. Stamford had his answer ready. “My own foxesâ€"that’s restorationâ€"and two of yours by way of interestâ€"that’s ret- ribution.” ‘ “Ant if I say no?” § “You won’t.

There’s a tidy pack comes out on the Lac Nair ice when it’s moonlight.” But the shackles of business are not so easily shaken off. and the spring had already come before another va- cation in the woods had begun to merge into possibility. About this time Linda Petersham rang me up on the telephone and. demanded my pra- ence at lunch. “But I am engaged.” said I. “What is it?” “I will tell you when you come. I want you." I made another effort to explain my position, but Linda had said her last word and rung off. I smiled as I call- ed up the picture or a small Greek head crowned with golden hair. a pair or dark blue‘eyes and a mouth wear- ing a rather imperious expression. The end of it was that I went. for I have known Linda all her life. The Petersham family consists of Linda and her father. and. though in busi- ness relations Mr. Petersham is a pow- er to be reckoned with. at home he ex- ists for the sole apparent purpose of carrying out his charming daughter’s wishes.

Memory Verses. 7. 8â€"Golden Text, Ex. xv, 26â€"Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Steal-n3. In our last lesson we saw the tri- umphant entry into glory. without dy- ing. of the discouraged man who want- ed to die. If we would keep our eyes on the glory which surely awaits us we would not he so easily cost down (Rom. viii. 18). We also saw the Spir- it of God in Elijah so manifestly upon Elisha that others recognized it. SO it should be with us. Elisha longed for a double portion of Elljah's spirit and by his unwavering heholdiug he ob- tained it. The Lord wrought through Elijah six miracles and through Elisha at least twelve. Like Elijah he divid- ed Jordan. restored a boy to life. mul- tiplied bread and oil and did other wonders which Elijah did not. Pre- vious to 1110 lesson of today. besides those just mentioned. there was the healing of the waters at Jericho and of the poisoned pottage and the wa- ters that tilled ditches without wind or rain. The multiplying of the widow‘s oil to pay her debt and save her sons (iv, 1-?) suggests What might be our privilege if we were empty vessels and believed God. The bringing to life of the Shnnammite's son brings us face to face with Him who is the resurrec- tion and the life, who alone doeth Fenders and still liveth. The people in today's lesson are a proud. mighty man. captain of the host of the king of Syria. very selt‘ inmortant. but a leper; a little maid of Israel. who loved to magnify the God of Israel: a man of God. who lived before God and sought nothing from man. and some servants who were wiser than their master. How sad and how suggestive the words concerning this mighty man in valor who had wrought deliverance for Syria. “a leper." an incurable sicl; man with the most loathsome of all diseases. What did his greatness amount to under these circumstances‘: Leprosy is the most remarkable em- blem of sin in the Bible. and all are by nature children of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins. spiritually lepers (Eph. ii. 1-3). What profit was there in the abundance or the riches of the men of Luke xii and xvi when their souls were required of them? What does it profit a man to be great in this world or to have millions of money if he is not a saved man? If he dies out of Christ the fate of the rich man of Luke xvi must be his. the resurrection (Luke x, 42). man of God refused, reminding us of Abram and the king of Sodom (Gen. xiv, 22. 23). There is no salvation for the sinner except by the blood of Je- sus Christ, who went down into the waters of Jordan, or judgment, for us. We cannot recompense Him for salva- tion, but we can ‘serve Him because He saves us. The gift of God cannot be purchased (Actsoviii. 2021" nu-.. ”- .
