"Whether we like it or not," he said, "if we are going to pay off that huge debt we must get over to the positive side of immigration As soon as possible. That opens up a serious problem as to where we are to get people who will be acceptable to this country, and who will be easily ass_imilated into our national life" Surg O . Lfy _ 100C P UV WREre we are to get people who will be acceptable to this country, and who will be easily assimilated into our national life," Among those who have given thought to the resumption of immiâ€" gration is Brigadierâ€"General M. L. Hornby, of the Hornby Farms, Lethâ€" bridge, Alberta. After 30 years of Empire service he came to Canada in 1924 to farm, develop and settle his properties. Rut he has found that the majority of those around him are not British. In Southern Alberta, where some of his properties lie, Central Europeans have constituted the bu‘k of the immigrants. New British setâ€" tlers have been comparatively few, "Let me make it quite clear," he says, "that I am not out to knock the ‘forâ€" cign‘ settlers. Far from itâ€"I admire them as workers and colonizers; I can see how much they are doing to deâ€" v lop this Western country. Nor have I anything againsc the Government of Canada for admitting them, for I know that the Gover:rnent has alway s offered every possible inducement and advantage to British migrants from England to come in and settle on her vacant lands. But the cold fact is that England has been too slow to take adâ€" vantage of Canada‘s invitation and offers, whereas ‘foreigners‘ have been quick to step in, and have eagerly acâ€" qired the good linds open to them." Plan For British Community General Hornby puts forward the following scheme of immigration: (a) The settlement of new British immiâ€" grants in Canada should be confined to the already developed and proven mixedâ€"farm districts.

InTRopuctionâ€"The book of Genesis opens with stories of the beginnings of mankind as a whole, but quickly narrows its interest to the family springing from Noah‘s son, Shem, of whom Abram was regarded as a lincal descendant. It treats history geneal» ogically. When Abram is reached, the story expands to considerable leneth because he was regarded not only as the firs* patriarch of the nation, but as the ideal Israclite. His faith in God, his ready obedience to God‘s will, April 17. Lesson I!Iâ€"The Call of Abramâ€"Genesis 12: 19. Golden Textâ€"Thou shalt be a blessing.â€" Genesis 12; 2. his generosity, his love of peace and his noble bearing under trying cir-‘ cumstancesâ€"all this fitted him to beâ€"| come a bright and shining light to reâ€"‘ mote generations. He has been callca "the ‘ather of the Faithful." A pionâ€" eer in the exercise of faith, he taught men by living example how to practice it. There are many New Testament re"rences to Abram. He is honored‘ bâ€" ‘ows, Mohammedans and Chrisâ€"‘ tians. 1. to® CaALL, vs. 1â€"3. At the outset of his career Abram lived among people who neither know nor worshipped the true God, and he was himself, perhaps, little better than his neighbors. How God‘s call came to him we do not know, but come it did with a heavy demand. He was required to leave his native Ur (15: 7) in southern Babylonia, with its sure prosperity and advanced civilitaâ€" tion, and to break the ties that heid him to his kindred. We, in our ordler- ed society, can scarcely realize whas th‘s meant for him. In his turbulent age, to separate oneself from one‘s clan was to expose oneself to hostile tribes and to be without protection in a warâ€"like world. Further, God called him away from home without ‘ndicatâ€" in@c at first his destination. He had merely the promise of divine guidance ANALYSIS. » Minister Settlements in Canada a mistake. England has a direct rsâ€" sponsibility for the settlement of her migrants in new homes overseas. She must shoulder this responsibility diâ€" rectly. (c) Migration and settlement should be carried out by Old Country communitiesâ€"counties and townsâ€" with the object of bringing into play the very strong county and town spirit, which exists through the Unâ€" ited Kingdomâ€"the "team spirit," which has stood us in good stead in important national and Empire causes in former days, and which is exactiy what is needed to help new settlers over the first and most difficult years of their new life. (d) The communiâ€" ties, or the community organizations, sending out new settiers should be also responsible for establishing them T priony diss s mt iani c ~ tw i0 Lc 0 the land and for their "afterâ€"care ‘ â€"that is to say for their agricultural supervision and financial support, if necessary, for the first two or three years, until they are thoroughly on their feet. (e) The new settlers should b established by their Old Country communities on these farms and small holdings, as tenants, not as owners. After having made good as tenants, the new settlers should be encouraged uand assisted to move off and acquire farms of their ownâ€"thus making room for further relays of new setâ€" tlers from the same Old Country comâ€" murity to occupy the vacated tenantsâ€" farms. In this way a continuous and automatic flow of new settlers will take place. (f) New settlers who fail to "make good" must be returned to the Old Country county or town which sent them out. It will thereâ€" fore be in the interests of the Old Country town or county to send out to Canada only those who are likely to succeed. â€""I will shew thee." It required great faith to obey so difficult a call. Now faith is never aimless; it does not operate in a vacuum. It serves a parâ€" pose, and the greater the faith the loftier the purpose. God‘s purposei with Abram was to isolate him from his old, idolatrous environment in order, through him, to found a new orderâ€"a nation great, because it would be the bearer of the divine reve lation. This sounds like national ego tism, but its offensive feature is offâ€" set by a wide universalism. Through Abram and his descendants the blessâ€" ing of God would flow out to all the nations of the earth. At any rate, the severity of God‘s command is more than compensated for by the promise of vrich ward for the obedience of faith. II. THE CALL OBEYED, vs. 4â€"6. General Hornby thinks that the apâ€" proach of the Imperial Economic Conâ€" ference is an appropriate time to inâ€" vite attention to the unsatisfactory state of British settlement in Canada and to urge an imrovement in it.â€"The Mail & Empire, Toroito. Without question or complaint Abram responded to God‘s call. At the age of seventyâ€"five most men wou‘d wish to settle down comfortably, but here was one willing to pioneer! Such faith is infectious; it draws others into its companyv. It is not surprisâ€" ing, therefore, that a considerable number, chieflv of relatives, followed Abram out of Ur. Nothing is told us of the long and hazardous journey across the desert which stretches beâ€" een Babylonia and the land of Canâ€" aan, but in estimating Abram‘s obeâ€" dience this should not be forgotten. (On the way to Canaan a stop seems to have been made for some time at Haran, in the northâ€"west of Mesopoâ€" tamia, which probably formed a regnâ€" lar restineâ€"place for caravans on the great trade route. III. WANDERING AND WORSHIPPINS, vs. 6â€"9. Abrar did not come to an unocenâ€" pied country. It had long been irâ€" habited by a people known as Canaanâ€" ites, who had attained a fairly high civilization, but were, of course, worâ€" shippers of strange gods. Abram traâ€" versed the country, remaining for some time in the two important towns, Shechem and Bethel. He had not left his home in Ur for worldly gain, and hence he did not seek it in Canaan. What he sought was the opportunity to worship God. This opportunity he seized at Shechem and Bethel, both of which had long been shrines for Canâ€" aanitic worship. The higher faith of Abram was thus to displace eventually the lower faith of the Canaanites at places which from ancient times had had sacred associations. Not until he had arrived in Canaan did he know that this was the promised land (v. 7) but it was not yet his. His iife in Canaan was wellâ€"rounded. In v. 8 we learn that he pitched his tent, thus setting up family life; he had Bethel on the west and Hai on the east, and so entered into sociai relations; he builded an altar, nurturing his reli« gious life. The family, the communâ€" ity and the Church were all benefited by hi _ . _ . & "The danger in going away into a strange life does not have to do with geography. It is not that a man is in danger in a different land. It is that he is in danger of becoming a differâ€" ent man. A good deal which we conâ€" sider a part of our deepest life is just the reflection of our surroundings. When we change our surroundings it is startling and disconcerting to watch the change in ourselves, We can be stronger than any strange environâ€" ment if we build an altar to God wherever the sun rise in the morning and wherever the sun sets at night." It was at an orchestrsl concert, and after gazing for some time at the bass fiddle player a man in the stalls mutâ€" «red, "He‘ll never do it; he‘ll never d it."

This was too much for a man in the row in front, and eventually he turned and said, angrily, "Confound you and your mutterings, sir!" "Well, he can‘t do it, I tell you.

The only opening was a tiny slit in the ceiling through which could blink the eye of the waiting camera. To overcome the darkness, the strongest lights imaginable must be sed; then a worse problem presents itself. The silver catches reflections of all the lights, of the paraphernalia around, even of the photographer‘s countenance. The photographer pulled all his tricks, experimenting for days. Finâ€" ally he hit upon the idea of "dry ice." It was alternated, in layers, with ice cream in a sherbet glass, and wrapped in a towel for an hour, thereâ€" by freezing as solid as marble and notwithstanding the 212 degree Fahâ€" renheit temperature of the lights for the few seconds necessary to have its features photographed for posterity.
