The International Peace Garden Mrs. Sidney Ransom, of Moun tainside, Man., who visited in this community last summer writes, a interesting letter about the Inter national Peace Garden. Few people are acquainted with this splendid project and Mrs. Ransom tells about it in a way that should be of interest to our readers. The Great War came to an end over fifteen years ago. To the ma jority of us it will always be a hor rible memory; to the younger gen eration it means little more than an epoch in history. The' League of Nations and disarmament -confer ences the desperate fear of war is etill in evidence in Europe, where armies, for land, air and sea are be ing built up and maintained, and in the Orient Japan has made vast en croachments’ on China, while Russia who is endeavouring to keep her own house in order keeps a large army —and a watchful eye on the Japan ese. In South America some years ago Chile and Argentina where at war, but at last peace came. Now, high on a wind swept Andean Mountain pass twelve thousand feet above sea sea level, on the borders of their two countries stands a beautiful figure of Christ with uplifted cross and outstretched hand, blessing the two countries which had come to peaice after years of hatred and. fighting. This Christ of the Andes was cast from the cannon of the two countries, and stands as an emblem -of the adherence of these two na tions to the doctrine of '‘Peace on Earth, good-will towards men.” For one hundred and eighteen years Canada and the United States have been at peace and between the two countries, with a boundary of four thousand miles thebe is not a fort or a cannon for military de fense. In'1922 President Harding dedi cated the dignified Peace Gate on the frontier between British Columbia and Washington to commemorate a century of peace between the two countries. Two years ago the American and Canadian Governments created the Waterton Glaicier Pence Park on the boundary in the Rocky Mountains to -commemorate the peace and good will which has long existed beween them. While attending a meeting of the International Association of Gar deners in the Royal York Hotel in Toronto in August 1929 Mr. Henry J. Moore, of Islington, Ont., propos ed this wonderful plan of a peace garden to be made somewhere along the International boundary between Canada and the United States. Mr. Moore, “a man with a vision” is a graduate of Kew Gardens in London, England, and has organiz ed many of the Horticultural Societ ies in Ontario and of him it has been said, “(Moore puts God into a gar den.” So his plan was enthusias tically endorsed, an International Peace Garden Association was form ed consisting of 215' American and 25 Canadian citizens with Mr. Moore as Secretary and Sir John Aird, of Toronto, as treasurer. In the summer of 1931 a commit tee consitin'g of Mr. Moore and two Americans made an inspection of ail likely sites and brought in a re port favoring the beautiful Turtle Mountains, The Turtle Mountain is one of the few heights of land in the mid west prairies, and lies on the boun dary between Dakota and Manitoba. It consists,—not of mountains, but of a .rolling hilly elevation, a few hun dred feet above the surrounding prairie with an average height of 2-200 feet above sea level, From east to west it extends about forty milee and has a width of twenty-five miles. Fifty years ago this area was covered with poplar, balm, oak, birch ash and willow. Now about two- thirds of it is under cultivation and the remainder is covered with se cond growth timber. There are over one hundred beautiful laikies and wild flowers and fruits are abun dant. Old beaver dams indicate that beavers were former inhabit ants and the mbuldering horns of moose and elk which are frequently found, is an evidence that these an tlered monarchs at one time roam ed in the hills and glens. Graceful jumping deer are numerous and in creasing in number. One -might make a long list of birds from humming birds to eagles in the district and countless number o-f water fowl fre quent the lakes. The Timber reserve on the Cana dian side of the line affords pasture for cattle, hay from its dry sloughs or meadows and as a relief measure this year the government is issuing permits for cutting timber for fire wood. Hopes are entertained that ere long this Reserve will become one of Canada’s National Parks. The site -chosen for the Peace Garden is 64 miles south of Bran don and its location on the boun dary line is almost m-idway between New York and Vancouver. In fact it is about the exact geographical centre of the North American con tinent. It is crossed by the North- iSouth Continental Highway, which is known as the C. to c. (Canal to ’Canada) Highway, which may''even tually run from Churchill down through Canada, United States, Mex ico, Central America and possibly all the way down through, -south Amer ica to the Cape!, The Peace Garden site consisting of three thousands acres of land, one half donated by the Manitoba Government and the other half by Dakota is a natural park which Shrilled landscape gardeners will im- bell-ish into something beautiful. The sum of $50,000 will be re quired as an endowment fund to maintain the garden in perpeuity, $10,00-0' to be raised by Canada and the remainder in the U. S. The amount is to be provided by the small sum of 25c. from every adult and 5 c. from each child in the two countries. Children love gardens and flowers and the schools where our future leaders are trained will have a share in this wonderful movement. Five million seems a large sum but little compared with the enor mous expenditures, on armies, arma ments battleships and bombs and all Iiiiim.i l in 11ii myiiii iWHH iiiy—I n i .........jw.,..m nwgRSB the other terrible war machinery. A German, after hearing Mr. Moore gave an address on the Peace Gar den exclaimed; “How France and Germany hate each other; what a wonderful thing it would be to have a garden like that on our border!” On July 14, 1932 the Internation al Peace Garden dedication ceremony was held with an enormous crowd gof people drawn from all directions It is estimated that from sixty-five to seventy-five thousand people were present and that the automobiles would cover a quarter section of land, American and Canadian police had charge of the traffic and park ing and it was due to their efficient management that not an accident occurred. Half a dozen aeroplones, a program of sports—with a “tug-of- peace” several bands supplying mu sic and a supervised play ground for the kiddies—added to the day’s entertainment and a Movie Co. from New York took films and recorded the day’s events. Two hundred guests occupied, the speakers’ platform, congratulatory messages were read from the Amer ican’president, our Governor-General premier and others. (The Govern ors of N. Dakota and the Canadian Minister of the Interior, other M. P’s and public men including (Mr. Moore gave addresses. A massed choir sang several selections and at the dedication ceremony they sang the National anthems of the two countries and lastly the Internation al anthem. “Two nations by the sea, Two nations great and free; One anthem raise. One race of ancient fame, One faith, one tongue, we claim. One God whose Holy name, We love and praise. The last and most importatn part of the day’s program wag the un veiling of a cairn, by Governor Shaeffer, of N. Dakota and Hon. Mr. Murphy, Minister of the Interior, Ottawa. The religious ceremony was performed by three clergymen, with a guard of honor, -consisting of Girl Guides of Manitoba and Boy (Scouts of both countries. The pledge which is inscribed on a slab was read by the Bishop of Brandon and the large crowd with bare heads repeated; “To God in His Glory we two nations dedicate this Garden, and pledge ourselves that as long as man shall live we will not take up arms against one another." J. W. R. MAIN ST. W. A. The March meeting or the Main Street W. M. S. was- well, attended. Owing to the absence of the Pres., Mrs. Pearce, Mrs. Wickwire presid ed.

Carlson, LillcsVe, Man,, writes:—“Six years ago I Was Very bad with my nerves and became sickly ahd run down, A friend told mo about Mil burn’s II. & N. Pills, so I decided to use them. After taking one box I felt some benefit, so I continued until I had taken five boxes, and I can truthfully say I never felt as good as I do now.

Sunday School Lesson CONFESSING AND FOLWWING CHRIST Sunday, March 25—'Matt, 16:13 to 17:27. Golden Text Thou ar© the Christ, the Son of the Living God. (Matt. 16:16b.) (In order to uee the optional Eas ter lesson next week, the Lesson Committee's suggestion is followed in omitting the review and. using the lesson that would otherwise be taken up April 1.) It is a lesson of sharp contrasts: First, the Lord warned His dis ciples to- “beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees” Matthew explains that He meant their doctrine or teaching. It was the doctrine o-f unbelief; the Sad ducees would not believe even their own Bible, the Old Testament; the Pharisees claimed to believe that, but, like the Sadducees, refused to believe that Jesus was the Christ, their Messiah. Then the Lord took His disciples with Him into the north country and tested their faith. He began' by asking them what view men had of Him, and, after various answers, He asked: “But whom say ye that I am?" Peter spoke for himself and the rest of the apostles: “Thou are the -Christ the Son of the Living God." It was a clean-cut, uncompromis ing, fearless declaration of the diety of Christ. For the apostles knew, as did the Jews, that their Messiah must be divine, of the Godhead. The Lord’s heart rejoiced in this reply of Peter, and he pronounced blessings upon him for it. Further more, He said Peter’s utterance was not a mere human opinion, not the judgment of any man, but God’s own revelance given to Peter. In other words, true faith is not a mere- mental attitude, but something wrought in a man’s heart by God Himself. There is the first of the sharp contrasts in this lesson. Unbelief toward God in a man’s heart is of "f 'll'W! ,fi EDWARDSBURG CROWN BRAND THE CANADA STARCH CO economical and delicious table syrup human origin; real faith toward God comes from God. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourself; it is the gift of God." Now that Christ’s duty had been recognized by the apostles and de clared to- them by Himself, coones another unexpected and startling contrast. The declaration of death follows the declaration of deity. He who is God must die. “From that time forth began Jesus to shew un to His disciples, how that He- must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.” For the .Son of God came from Heaven to earth, and became man, not primarily to die here—in order that all who believe on Him might not die eternally but live. Death and resurrection are in shining contrast also. Not only must Christ “be killed" but also He -must “be raised again the third day." The idea that Christ must die was too much for Peter. Apparently he never hesitated to differ with Christ even after he had recognized and declared that He- was. the Son of God. He actually began to rebuke Him: “Be it far from Thee, Lord; this shall not be unto Thee.” Here is a strange contrast or con tradiction within the apostle to whom God had reveatea the deity of Christ. One moment Peter shows forth a shining and uncompromis ing faith; the next moment he shows shameful unbelief, denial of the faith he had just expressed. Another contrast follows- swiftly. To the apostle upon whom Christ had just pronounced great blessings for his faith He now speaks sternest condemnation. “Get thee behind me, ■Satan." said Christ to Peter; “thou art an offence unto Me.” The Lord told him plainly that he was putting the wisdom of man above the wisdom of God. God’s plan or redemption for lost sinners has been called fool ish, even immoral, by men. But the Holy Spirit says, concerning the cross of Christ, that “the foolishness of God is wiser than man.” If it were not, no man could be saved. Satan, of course, did not want A nourishing sweet for the whole family 'Ct LIMITED, MONTREAL Christ to go to the cross and, dying in man’s stead, become men’s Sav iour. So Peter was the mouthpiece of Satan in trying to dissuade Christ from Calvary. Even a true believer like Peter can make tragic, sinful mistakes unless he trusts Christ to the uttermost. Then the Lord showed the way of ■Christian discipleship. “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me," Peter did this later, and so did all the apostles—except Judas. The great apostle Paul, did so, and gave us the great Scripture: “I am crucified with Christ; never theless I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me.” (Gal. 2:20'.) The Lord now gives another shin ing contrast that was to, come in his own experience. He must suf fer death, but He must also come again to this earth in glory. His- first coming was in humiliation. His second coming will be in glory. He. adds a word that has been misun derstood by some, but the meaning of whiich is very plain as we look at the narrative. “There be some standing here.”,! He said to His apostles, “which shall;, not taste death, till they see the' iSon of man coming in His King dom.” There are no chapter divis ions in the original, and the next' verse (separated in our English' translation by a new chapter head ing) tells us that six days' later the Lord took the inner circle of apostle^ Peter, James and John, up into a’ mountain, “and was transfigured' before them; and His face did shine! as the sun, and His raiment was' white as the light.” Plainly, here was an anticipatary1 revelation of the glorified Christ “coming in His Kingdom," as He shall appear when He comes again. For Peter interprets this- experience in his Second Epistle, saying thaf “we made known unto you the pow er and coming of our Lord Jesu-g Christ,” being “eyewitnesses- of HiS Majesty . . . when we were with1 Him in the holy mount.” (2 Peter1 1:16-18.) The whole passage there -centres in the second coming of Christ, predicted in the Transfigura-' tion and in more than 3 00 passages throughout the New Testament. liar jor DOLLAR PLUS INTEREST __2---- ------ ---------------------------------------------------*----—<• When you deposit your savings in this bank, you know that you will get your money back, dollar for dollar plus interest.
