It was proper that such acts should be resented.

Again a portion of the president's statement or letter has been used for the purpose of chamging the meaning of his position. This in his letter to made public in cerning reciprecity, he said, “Mean- while the amount of the American products they would take would pro- duce a current of business between western Canada and the United States that would make Canada only an ad- Junct of the United States.” It is on this being “an adjunct of the United States,” which was, of course, sald in reference to the gen- eral concourse of business, that Can- ada and the motlier country have be- come excited and feel so proud that they were wise enough to throw down reciprocity. They carry the idea by twisting about the statement that Canada was being pulled into a trap, but such was Reosevelt whieh he as far from the truth as anything could be.

Anything that will_sink in a tub of water will sink to the deepest depths, or 31,200 feet— a hole big enough to drop the world's highest mountain in and then have 2,000 feet of free water above it. This hole is near the island Guam in the Pacific ocean. The deeper the sea- water the less life there is in it, the | stronger it is with salt, and bodies sinking to these depths never rise— never deca; but remain there em- balmed forever. It is specific gravity which has to do with any sinking ob- jeet, not the atmospheric pressure up- on the water, which at the deepest point of the ocean is 10,000 pounds to the square inch. There is little mo- tion, and the temperature is often be- low zero. To sink to the bottom of the sea where the Titanic was wreck- ed is to forever remain there. No diver ever worked in more than 160 feet of water, so there is no such thing as recovering the treasures in the Titanic which are now resting more than 10,- 000 feet below the surface of the ocean, We have been deeply impressed from youth of the sin of taking God's name in vain; and we have always cast our frowns toward the profane man as the chief of sinners in this respect; but now it seems to us that many more people than we think take the name of God in vain. Just think of the peo- ple who attribute to the Lord every sort of affiction which they through their own acts bring upon themselves. He has fixed the laws of our being, and it is up to us to honor them, or suffer. 1t makes no difference whether we dishonor them from ignorance or we bring upon ourselves affliction comsequent upon our conduct. Isn't it taking God's name in vain to be reconciled to the afflic- tions he puts upon us when Wwe are putting them upon ourselves. As free choosers, it is we Who make a mess of life for ourselyes, when the Lord has willed that it should be otherwise. Tsn't it using the Lord's name in vain to charge him with acts of which we ourselves are guilty? Here is a little bit of advice which “Receive | is worthy of consideration vour thoughts as guests; but treat your s as children.” It is not ccomplishment, for it calls for _conirol which few people jossess. Nevertheless, this very self- control they lack is the real thing the world is in need of. It is no easy mat- to treat our desires as children; they were treated as over-indul- parents treat chileren, we should undone. This is one way of telling us to be “the captains of our fate and the masters of our soul” It is preaching the gospel of restraint,which is sadly needed. Mastery over self is ime attainment; and it counts for ev good thing. No one can be great without it; and it is the thing which will make a man strong in the face of every trial easy The reason it is worth while to have xed in life bhecause purpose s those who do mot have vacillate and invite moods of despair. What one always so can adapt himself to is not clear: but his purpose may be to do well whatever he undertakes—to 80 conduct himself that he may go from what he is engaged in to something better.

An ample inheritance from his father was so carefully protected | © and secured that Herbert could spend | only its income. A generous fortune had also come to him from his mother | and her family. This being unre- | stricted had slipped through his | fingers, bit by bit, till only a mall" part remained.

All glory be giv- en to his noble wife, who encouraged him to live up to his highest standards, though it meant hard work for her, and for a time real privation for his family.

In the hour of his proposed departure for his own land, Moses pleaded mightily with him to remain. The pa- ch's first argument looked to the self-interest. “Come thou with | us and we will do thee good,” he urged. The advantages of sharing the faith and fellowship of the chosen people were clearly set forth. He might win | peace, happiness and salvation; more- | ove take in the promised land of | milk and honey should be his. But | Hobab flatly declined the offer. Then Moses put forth another argu- ment.
