(Often there is only a fluttering sensation, or an "all gone" gold ngfeeling; or again, there may be a most violent beating, with flushings of the skin and visable pulsa- tions of the arteries. The person may ex- perienee a smothering sensation, gasp for breath and feet as though about to die. In such eases the action `mf Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills in quieting the heart, restoring its normal beat and im- parting toile to the nerve centres, is, bc;yon� all question, marvellous. They give such prompt relief that no tine need suffer. Mrs. Arthur Mason, Marlbank, Ont., writes:—" Just a fen lines to let you know what Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills ' have done for me. I have been troubled with weakness and palpitation of 'the heart, would have severe choking spells and could scarcely lie down at all. I tried many remedies but got none to answer my case like your pills did. I can recommend them highly to all with heart or nerve trouble."

NOTES AND COMMENTS Thrift and industry are indispensable handmaidens of Prosperity in the field of egr'ioalture at least. Business ability and scientific training cannot wholly aubatitute them. Large ideas without thrift have been the ruination of many an ambitious young farmer. Large ideas with thrift are essential to a broad -gauge success. Bradstret is returns of business fail- ures for nine months, 1908 and 1909 show that Canada is returning to an era of property. In the whole of Can- ada for this period there ware 1,201 business failures, with assets amounting to $4,697,855, and Iiabilities of $9,555,- 707. In a sunnier period of the pre- ceding year there ware 1,227 failures, with assets of $6,401,947, and liabilities of $74 394,248. Ontario shows the most decided advance, with only 386 failures this year against 481 last year. The western provinces, too, show a consider- ably improved condition in this regard, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, together only report 139 failures against 232 of last year. In Quebec, the Maria time Provinces and British Columbia there is a tendency towards retrogrea. slot. The Globe, of Toronto, editorially has the following wise observation relating to taxation; — "Taxation may be so levied as to encourage and almost force industry and enterprise. It may on the other hand, be so levied as to obstruct, retard and even destroy the source from which the revenue meet be drawn. The French window tax led to the closing of many windows and a proportionate Less. ening of the value and usefulness of buildings. The Egyptian tax on date trees led to the cutting down of many trees. Larger amounts might have been raised by methods which would encour- age the best and fullest use of the pro- perty from which the revenues were drawn. Similar influences can be die. oerned in theineidenoe of business tax- ation according to the value of build- ings " To obviate the tendency to dis- courage energy and improvement is exactly the intent of the prcposed change in the Aes"asment Act, granting powers to municipalities to fix a Iower rate upon the business and improvement values than upon land values. Over 200 muni. ciaalilies have already returned it fav- orably.

Of this $91,999,421 was business taken during the year. THE VALUE OF OPTIMISM. Stress is laid on the value of op- timism by the Galt Reformer in an article in reference to the advance- ment made by the Little Manobester daring the past pear. The Reformer says:— Contained in the large increase whioh Galt's population shows during the twelve months just cloned, is a Iesson or two for all those engaged in promoting the growth and prosperity of the town, This partionlar lesson teaches the value of optimism when the clouds hang heavy and things seem to be going wrong for even the hopeful man and the cheerful munioipality. When the depression of 1907 set in Galt faced a large increase in the tax rate, made necessary by civic undertakings calling for an expenditure of over $400,- 000, People were hardly prepared for short hours in our industries, a lower scale of wages and lank of work for men able and anxious to work. But the native courage of the community asserted itself and the town really grew stronger under the strain put upon it, by a condition of things not of its own making. Galtonlans stu0k to it man- fully when business was at its worst. With the breaking of the clouds they were at ft planning for the future, reckoning that by so doing they would comp out of the depression almost un- scathed. This individual energy was applied to sack good purpose that new industries were established during the days when bankers looked aakanco at propositions for loans to any lint the most substantial of merchants and menufaeterers. No wonder Galt is now able to show a"larger increase in its population for the year jest closed than either Stratford, Brantford or l-A�alnilton. The lesson of it all is that optimism. yields good return to the inlx.iv ::t afl awl the cemmtanity where then is nothing radically wrong with Glair r. having mainmilt ;gratifying pro. while t!13 wlaF.�Ic ccugtr;� was t t vrf.,r is> � weather whet may Galt t a a311 when tisb6 m io on from laziest I;:iv�aw(1 Inrald to elle Pc;tfi ry f On this solid foundation we build the Mason and Risch piano.

PAUL A PRISONER BEFORE FESTUS AND AGRIPPA.—Ants 25:6-12; Chap. 26. Golden Text.—I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that whioh I have com- mitted unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 1:12. Verse 6. --Who is this Festus referred to in this verse? From the preceding five verses what had the Jews requested Festus to do? Verse 7.—On what principle can you explain the bitter hatred which the Jews had for Pani? Will a religious bigot, who is full of hatred as these Jews were, stop abort of swearing to a lie to accomplish his purpose? Should any Christian believe or oir- cniate a charge against any person that he has not got ample proof of? Verse 8 —Aa a matter of fact had Paul, in any sense, broken any Jewish law? Which, at this time, were really in the most unenviable situation, Paul or his aocusers, and why? Verses 9 12 — Whoa a judge or a magistrate favors the proseoution and makes harsh remarks ageless the prison- er during the taking of the evidence, thus prejudicing the jury, is such a man fit for a jadieial position? When a Ohristiian is accused of wrong doing, and is innocent, shoald he insist upon hia innocence or be patient and silent, and wait for the facts to speak? Paul was no doubt wise is refaeing to go to Jerusalem hut was he equally wise in not insisting that his trial be finished at Caesarea, and in his appeal to Caesar? If you were n minister to be triad for heresy', whioh tribunal would you rather select, a prejudiced Conference or Synod, ozGau• ara! Assembly, or Con- vention, or a committe3 of secular High Court Judges? Chap. 26:1.11.—Who was this Agrip pa and what had brought him to Oaesarea? If a man's cause is just, will a know- ledge of all the ratite always help him? What are the leading points here out. lined, of Paul's defence before King Agrippa? "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead"? v8. Was Paul any better when he perset stated and caused Christians to be put to death, than the Jews were then in want- ing to put him to death? How do you estimate Paul's eharaoter before his conversion? Verses 12-18.—What points of re. semblance are there between Paul's Dont version and that of a sinner's to -day? Why did Paul 8o frequently desoribe his conversion? What was God's object as here des- cribed in Paul's conversion, and what is God's objeot in every conversion? Verses 1923.—Is it possible that some sinners get a oali from God fully as marked as Paul's and yes refuse to com- ply and go on in th'eir sins. What difference is there between a man before and after he turns to God? (This question must be an. swered in writing by members of the Club Verses 24 32 --Why dad Patna inter- rupt Paul and say ho was mad? Why dM not Festus and Agrippa both tarn to God. seeing that they were clearly convinced of the troth of Ohrie- tianicy and their need of salvation? Why are not all persons Ohriatians who have heard the voice of God call- ing them to repentance? Lesson for Sunday. October 31st, 1909. Paul a Pttsonor.---The Voyage.
