NOTES AND COMMENTS &ties Emma Magoon Post, though blind, suweeesrully manages the tele- phone exchange it North English, Iowa. The exchange serves over 300 snbscrib• ers, AU of the bell signals have been made to differ in tone, and she is able to distinguish each of the forty-five bells by its peonliar tone and the voices of men. women and children whom the serves. Oace again has Premier McBride swept British Colombia, and his victor,' may be styled a triumphant one. In Vancouver and Victoria the straight tickets were elected. T1r. John Oliver, the Liberal leader, has been defeated in beth Delta and Victoria, and Mr. Stew- art. Henderson has fallen in Yale before the Premier, who aleo ran in that oon- atituenoy. The following good edition is from an exchange: -"Why should Christmas be mutilated to 'Xmas' any more than Christine to 'Klan' or Oh_istianity to 'Xianity'? Yet there are Iarge nnmbers of people who will do it during the next few weeks. There is nothing to be said in its favor except brevity and this is secured at the expense of reverence. Write the word Christmas in full even if it takes a second or two longer to do In fifteen years the annual value of Ontario's field crops has been advanced from $102,000,000 to $156,000,000, the annual value of live stook marketed and slaughtered from $34,000,000 to $63,000,- 000, and the valve of the live stock left on the farm from $116,000,000 to $186,- 000,000. This has been accomplished in face of the exodus to the cities and to the West, and in spite of the shortage of agricultural laborers. No account is here taken of the growing output of our orchards and daisies. These splendid results have been attained with a gospel which au yet has. reached effectively only a comparatively small minority of 1 oar farmsre. It is only reasonable to expect that, as the work is extended to ever -widening circles, the rural Ontario may be greatly augmented, in which growing benefits the urban communities cannot help but share. --Toronto News.

It is not etesoKay's fault that the Government is so strong and the Opposition se weak," THE POSTAL- SERVICE Recently we heard a gentleman com- plaining about the fine new post of ee Kincardine had. The complainer seem- ed to think that it was an extravagance on the part of the Liberal government. We would point out that there were very few such complaints made while the Conservatives were in power, for they didn't seem to have the proper idea of conducting that branch of the govern- ment snooessfully. Canada's pastmast- er•geueral year after year had to report a deficit and that deficit averaged $800 - 000 per annum as long as the Conserva- tives were in power. In 1896 the net revenne of the department was $1,971,- 093 and the expenditure $3,752,805, Sir Velum Blalock was the first postmast- er general ander the Lanrieradminietra- tion and he began to look into the causes of the deficit. Ia the third yearot his ad- ministration the deficit was almost wiped oat, but then came the reduction of Canadian and imperial letter poetaee from three to two cents. This had been rejeoted by the Conservative govern- ment as a fiaanoiel imp aeibility, How- ever Sir Wm. Unlock was a business man and the metiirods he adopted showed the soundness of his judgment as the following table will show. Deficit Surplus 1896 $781,102.19 1897 586,539 92 1898 47,602 30 1899 398,917 69 1900 461,661 87 1901 416,183.99 1902 $ 5,109.14 1903 , - 395,268.11 1904 304,783 90 1905 490,844 89 19071906 1,011,765 31 1,082,801.59 1908 I,101,826.24 1909 809,637.53 These figures are given in the report of Postmaster General Lemieux, for the year ending Maroh 31st, just issued. During the year poet ofiioes increased in number 656, postal note offices' 680, money order offices 196, and savings bank offices 18. Besides these inereases 2,034 miles were added to the extent of the system over which mails are carried by railway while the number of miles whtoh mails have been carried by rail- way and water routes and ordinary land routes is greater by 1.312,073 miles than for the previous year. The estimated increase in the number of lettere and postcards sent during the year is 19,805,- 000 or 4 per cent more than in 1908. This growth has entailed an increase of $586456 66 in expenditure as compar. ed with 1908, but in spite of tide and the faet that in August of Iast year the rate on drop letters in cities was reduced on half, there was a surplus trent the oper. ation of the service amennting to $809,. 257,53 Free delivery was extended daring the year to eight cities, five of which are in Ontario. Ontario leads all the provinces in the number of post offices aid the amount Of bnsinese done. There are now 3,694 post offices in operation in this province, the number of letters posted last year being 187,043,000, of pettoarde 26.005,- 000, of registered letters 4 085,000, and t free letters 9 068,000.

II Cor. viii:l-15. Golden Text -Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts xx:35. Are these words in the Golden Text quoted from Jesus, hyper- bolical, that is, a rhetorical over- statement, or is it literally true, that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and if so, why? (This question must be answered in writ- ing by members of the club ) Verses 1 6 -Is it according to ani- mal nature, or to average human nee tura, to give to othere ontaide of kith and king Is giving Iiberaily, intelligently and systematically, to religion and charity, always a "grace," that is, an inellnation Divinely imparted? What is the relation between giving and loving? If we are in need or "affliotion" our- selves, will the grace of giving Mill operate in us, if our hearts are right? May' "deep poverty," great "joy" and ri0h "liberality" be in the same life, and it each a combination menial or euperiiatural? Tbere was great poverty and suf- fering arnong the Chrietiatis at Jeru- salem, and the liberality of the poor churches at 4lacedonte to relieve their need is what Paul here refers to; eono tract the evil at Jerusalem, with the resultant good grace of giving developed at Macedonia, end say which is the greater; that is, did the result do as- much smuch good, ar exceed the evil dorso by the cause? , Titus, it womb eppsar, was appointed 10 present to the Oorintblanb the need of the Jerusalem Christians, to take ups collection and to develop in them 284,569.41 in 1908 The balance to the credit 01 depositors in the 1,102 post office savings X» haum ! last year decreased a 12,278,600 07 at compered wit'! the year preceding, 'being e44.100,484,21.

Verses 7, 8 -Paul apparently as- sumes that a person may abound "in faith and utterance, and knowledge, * * * * and in * * * * love," and not abound in the grace of giving; but is he right, for how can enoh a thing be possible? Paul states that he did not nrge the j grace of giving by "commandment" is it therefore any less the duty, and privilege of every Christian, rich and poor, to abound in this grace? Verse 9 -What should be the supreme motive, and what is the greatest induce- ment to give liberally? What is the chief grape in the re- splendent character of Jesus? Did the giving of Jeans of himself, and all he had for as, imply permanent poverty for him, or was it the surest way to all that great wealth is supposed to stand for? Why does giving of all kinds finally result In getting more of that whioh we give, than would be possible if we keep it? (think of money, love, knowledge, experience, en0ouragement, eto.) Verses 10, II ---What is the differ- ence in promising a enbsoription to religion or benevolence and not paying it, and not paying your grocer or baker? Verses 12 14 -What is the proportion of one income whioh the Bible de- mands of ns, as a minimum? What are some of the many advant- ages of the tithing system?
