HEART and NERVES
WERE SO BAD
Mr. John R. Novecosky, Humboldt]
Sask,, writes;-—”1 suffered with my
heart and nerves and was so bad X
could not sleep for the dizziness in my
head. My head was in a whirl, and I
was so nervous, at times, X did not
know what to do.
,fI was worried over my work, which
was neglected because I could not do
it, and this together with the pains
made me worse every-day,
“I tried all sorts of medicine, but of
no avail, so I consulted a physician,
but was just as bad as ever.
” Finally I received one of your
almanacs and read how
had relieved so many people of the
same trouble, so I, immediately sent
for some, and I was really surprised to
see how rapidly I regained my health.”

Compares to Panama Canal,
Says Massachusetts Man
That the St. Lawrence waterway
project, the making of a ship-way
from the Great Lakes to the sea, be
carried out at once was advocated by
Orra L. Stone, general manager of
the Associated Industries, at Boston
recently. “Once the project becomes
an actuality I venture the opinion that
tho economists and historians of the
future will marvel that in the year
1927 there were iconoclasts so obtuse
as to fail to realize what this out
standing development of the St. Law
rence meant as an economic asset. I
surmise the results will be compar
able to those that followed the open
ing of the Panama Canal.”
Tlie Decay of Agriculture
London Daily Mail (Ind. Cons.)'.
No great nation has ever yet lived
without a rural population. The
health and stamina of the race must
deteriorate if a people is entirely di
voi’cetl from, the villages and the
fields, and if the great swarming mod
ern cities cannot draw fresh blood
into their veins from those whole
some sources. An England whollj
made up of the "street-bred people"
seems unthinkable. Yet we may have
to think of it if the decay of agricul
ture is not arrested.

emphasis upon righteousness and jus

1:10-17; Jer. 7:1-15; Hus. 6:fi; Micah

to imply that such forms of worship;
were not used in the wilderness per

The intention seems to be to intro- ’
duce a comparison between the simp

priest’s opposition, chap. 7.
Introduction—Like the true pro
phets of Israel in every age, Amos
held that the mere formalities of
religion were not in themselves pleas
ing to God. He saw in Israel, at the
sanctuary of Bethel, multitudes who
offered their sacrifices at the altars
and paid their tithes, and who were
cai'eful to observe the ancient forms,
but to him it was not worship, but
rather transgression against God. He
knew the lives which these people
lived, their many acts of injustice,
theix* cruel conduct toward the poor,
their greed, their self-indulgence,
their deeds of violence, and their dis
loyalty to Jehovah in the recognition ■
and worship of other gods. He saw'
doom coming upon a wicked nation
and declared that Jehovah would not
turn it away. He reminds the people
of the warnings which they have had,
drought and famine, blight and locust
swarm, plague and a recent earth
quake, yet they have not repented.. Jn
the greater calamity that is cornin'/
upon them they will meet an offended
God whose laws of justice and human
kindness they have not obeyed.

means his anger against them may be

Jehovah is to be sought, he declares,
not in the gorgeous and corrupt ritual
of the great sanctuaries at Bethel,
Gilgal and Beersheba, but in just and
upright .dealing, by putting away
their manifold transgressions and
their weighty sins (v. 12), by loving
and doing good and not evil. For Je
hovah is not only the great God, the
Lord, maker of the starry heavens and
ruler of light and darkness, of sea
and land, but he is able to read the
innermost thoughts of men’s hearts,
and he is the defender of the spoiled
against the strong (vs. 8-9, compare
4:13).
The Gate was both the entrance to
a walled city and the broad square

ORDERS MOTHS
Ottawa.—The Montreal airport,
construction of which is now begin
ning, will, according to plans ap
proved by the government, be much
more than a mooring station for
transatlantic aerial navigation. ,
Montreal is to be used as a general
base for all airways in this part of the
country. Recently, between St.. Lam
bert and St. Bruno, 715 acres were
purchased as a site for a mooring
mast, and the initial outlays are now
authorized. About $90,000 is to be
spent on the site this fall in prelimin
ary preparations for the maBt, and
also for the larger base. The property
is to be levelled and graded, and a
variety of smaller works carried on.
To encourage flying clubs in Can
ada, the Government has just placed
an initial order for ten "Moth” aero
planes to be purchased from the De
Haviland Corporation of England.
The contract price is $51,000.
By the policy recently enunciated,
the National Defence Department
agreed to supply one extra aeroplane
wherever a local club purchased an
other, and it is to prepare for this de
velopment ..that the 10 planes have
just been ordered. They will be sup
plemented later.
The Government has also decided to
convert the old Rockliffe Rifle Ranges
at Ottawa into a central aerodrome
and'seaplane station for carrying on
experimental flying by air and over
water, and also to explore the possi
bilities of winter flying. With that
object in view the site is to be en
larged by the addition of 21 acres.

Capital and Labor
Edinburgh Scotsman (Cons.):
tween capital and Libor in the
stract, as used by the economist,
there is and always must be a fun
damental identity of interest. Each,
is necessary to the other, and the pro
duct of both, in harmonious and ac
tive co-qperation, is essential .to the
well-being of the whole—namely, the
community. The divorce of the lab
orer from the ownership of his tools
and instruments .of production, com
bined with the divorce of economics
as a study from philosophy and the
humanities, have caused this great
truth to be overlain or forgotten, to
the great hurt of industry and the na
tion. The change has produced in
the mind of the workman distrust,
suspicion and rancour, ’while it has
