(Rom. 12:21.) (verses 9-16); those without the chapter is of Christ, who are holy by Christ’s work in their behalf, and who are accepted by God because of the Son. Christian service is thus seen to be no little thing; its conditions are sharply defined; they are tremen dous such service is an unspeakable privilege. The second verse tells us we are to “be not conformed to the world.” Christians are in the world, but not of it. (John 17:11-16.) Living in Rome, we are not to do as the Ro-, mans do. the next clause of that verse, “but J be worth bo ye transformed by the removing f same, of your mind.” With the new life given to us in Christ, God gives us a new mind. We are new creatures new mentions (II Cor., 5:17.). And it is a striking fact that the Greek word used here for “transformed” which every Christian is called upon to be, is the word for “transfigure 1“ in Matthew 17:2. where the Lord Jesus was “transfigured” before the disciples. Thus the normal and serviceable Christian is saved, surrendered and separated. He is saved by having re ceived the gift of God. He is sur rendered by having given himself the In 1926 Canada spent on her roads, in building and improvement, about $45,000,000. And there are still some which need a little more attention. The three Canadian Wheat Pools are now operating 942 country ele vators, with a capacity of 30,000,- 000 bushels. They are also build ing about 305 new country eleva tors and 2 large terminal ones.

Peace and good will among men are possible only by God’s supernatural and redemption work through Christ as man's Sav iour and Lord. Therefore only those vho are members of the body of Christ—children of God. born again into His family by faith in Christ as Saviour —can manifest real peace and good will among mtn. The les son tolls us how. The chapter is divided by the Sco field Reference Bible into four sec tions; 1. Consecration (verses 1, 2); 2. Service (verses 3-S); The Chris tian and those within 4, The Christian and (verses 17-21.) The first verse of one of the* great verses of the Bible. It is God's clear command and in fallible recipe for right living and'to God. effective service. God this It the whom he is writing, “Beloved of God called to be Saints” (Rom. 1:7), that they have been saved by God’s (the first two verses of Because of what God has chapter. 1 Normal Christians never put them selves forward; they have no exalt ed opinion of themselves (v. 3.)

Christians ougUit to command them selves by the way they live, even to the unsaved persons about them. Such “practical” counsel, for ex ample, as “provide things honest in the sight of men,’ is virtually im portant for all Christians, and is sometimes overlooked. God’s people should be scrupulously careful re cords and rendering strict of all moneys entrusted to the Lord’s work. There are “impossible” ments in this lesson, such ing those who persecute us, never avenging ourselves, caring lovingly for our enemies, and overcoming ev il with good.

Only because of what Christ has done for us. Holy means sanctified, separated. We are, ’made holy by His shed blood; He is our sanctification (I Cor. 1:- 30.) He tells us that this sacrifical gift of our lives is “acceptable to God.” How can that be? Only be cause of what Christ has done for us; we are “accepted in the belov ed.” (Eph. 1:6.) And we are told that this is our “reasonable service”—-that is, it is the logical thing to do. That cer tainly cannot be denied.

The battleship Nelson, which was completed for the British Govern ment last year, cost them just about $35,000,000, and the firm that built it reported’a loss for the year of $2- 5 00,000, part of which they claimed was due to the building of this most modern vessel of war.

The Lord Ntdson, but recently opened, has a ehafm fjot usually associated With a modern institution of its kind and a decided nautical touch. The grill, for instance, is named theJ'Ward Doom,” and as one sees the sailor suited waitresses moving about the tables one half expects to hear the “Ship Ahoy,” or “Light on the starb’d bow, sir.” Lanterns help to foster the ship-hoard illusion, and, one of these lanthorns, pictured above, has very close asso ciations with the sea.

In the main dining- room, too, a very fine oil shows the admiral on deck and his men running up a signal of victory. The Lord Nelson, is, however, a little more than an art centre. It is a very modern hotel of 200 rooms facing the Halifax Public Gardens. Its public and convention rooms are exceptionally well planned and appointed. The design is Georgian, simple and beautiful. While it has been built as the result of a ' community effort, the Lord Nelson is operated by the hotel department of thU Canadian Pacific, Railway, which company ha© considerable interest in it. It will, therefore, compare very favorably in service and all eq?ontials with the great Chateaus and other, hotels of the company. v J At a meeting of the quarterly board of the Methodist church, Exe ter, the following stewards were appointed: Messrs.

DON GLOVES EAKLY THIS MILL (By Josephine Huddleston) With fall days upon us and win ter close by, kid gloves have become an important article in our ward robe. Anil kid gloves can cause a lot of grief to the girl whose hands perspire. Perspiring hand's are usually the result of a nervous disposition that should be corrected. For outside application a solution made of one ounce alcohol and one- half ounce of tincture of belladonna will prove beneficial, be used1 frequently before putting! on lowing enough time to thoroughly dry. Frequent applications of witch hazel also prove beneficial is case of perspiring hands. Begin, wearing your gloves now if you want 'to prevent early chapping and rednesis. Both conditions disfiguring to hand beauty.

Saskatchewan. It was the longest and heaviest grain train in history, consisting of 135 loaded grain cars, each approximately 40 feet in length, a water car, a caboose and engine.

Skating, skiing and to bogganing will be in full swing as usual; the dog1 •’derby will most cer tainly take place; and the ice car nivals and storming of the citadel will probably be featured again he said. Mr. Strathdee mentioned, the splendid co-operation given the winter activities at the Chateau Frontenac by the Quebec Winter Sports Association. the hands thoroughly before going out and massage a hand, lotion that dries quickly into the skin. This not only gives a soft finish to the hands, but serves as a protection | from the cold winds. At night, af-, ter thoroughly washing, rinsing and drying the hands,, massage a hand lotion, which contains a goodly per centage of almond oil into the hands so that they can soften and bleach during sleep. A cuticle molder or '.tome sort of oil such as olive oil or oil of sweet almonds should he massaged into the cuticle each night before apply ing the hand lotion. This will keep the skin around the nails soft anl pliant.’ Nothing mars - the beauty of the hands more than dry, ragged cuticle, and the only way in which this can be prevented or corrected is to put back into t’he cuticle, the oils that are washed out during the frequent daily clean sings. You all know Hmi iemon juice is splendid for removing fruit and vegetable stains, so we won’t go in to a lengthy discussion on that. Callous spots on the palms of the hands or on the lingers can -be tsuc- cessfully remove .1 by rubbing a, raw pumice stone over them each time the hands are washed. After soak ing t’he hands for a few moments just rub the callous spots gently with tlie pumice stone and they will disappear after a week or two.

England will have enough Can- adiah apples shortly to keep the doctor away for the next year, if there is any truth in the proverb, as ships sailing for the old country this autumn are carrying many boxes of souvenir apples shipped by Canadians to their friends over seas.
