" The new Weland ranks with the Panama as one of'the world’s larg­ est canals, indeed in some respects, exceeds the Panama. While the' locks of the latter are a little longer and wider, the total lift up ana down between the two oceans rs only 85 feet, covered by three locks each way, whereas the lift in the new Welland Canal is '3>25 feet, covered* by seven locks of 46 1-2 ft. each, and an eighth grand loch 1,880 feet long,s or 3'00 feet1 longer than the longest ’ Panama Iocs Th^se replace twenty-five locks in the old camp^ The iS. Si Lemeyne was the first boat to pass through the Canal at its official opening, and a statistic­ ian present reckoned that she car­ ried the world’s greatest cargo oi wheat. “She has already carried 571,885,. bushels of wheat at one load,” he said, “and ihe cargo wouia make 12,350,000 two-pound loaves of bread. If you laid these loaves end to end, they would reach 2,|3i50 miles, or the distance from .the- spot where the wheat was produced to the Atlantic. It would take 2T0 farms of 15'0 acres to grow the car­ go and 286 60-ton railroad cars, a rtain 2 1-2 miles long to carry It.

A LITTLE TALK ABOUT FAIR FARM PRICES Hank in St. Thomas Times-Journai It is quit© generally admitted that the farmer isn’t getting what he Is entitled to for his produce; but how many persons are endeavouring to improve conditions on the farm? How many St, Thomas people, with steady and substantial incomes, ar© paying the farmers a little mor© than current prices for quality pro­ duce? _ We know one St. ** Thoma© man who is:’A fariher delivered two bag of potatoes to this man’s- resi­ dence about a Week ago. He asked 50 cents a bag for,them. “Why, you can sell potatoes at that price and clear your costs,” said the St. Thomas man. “I know ’I can’t,” .answered the farmer, “but fifty Gents a bag is all potatoes are bringing.’ “Well, I’m going' to" pay you seventy-five cents a .bag; and I don’t mind saying that those pota­ toes are too cheap at that price,” declared the St. Th-mas man. “They- re the best potatoes we have had at, our house in three years. When we heard about this inci­ dent we sought out and -asked the St. Thomas man why he paid the farmer 25 cents a bag, more than he (demanded for his potatoes. “Why did I do that?” said the St. Thomas man. ’’“I did l;t because I was ashamed to pay the'farmer less than seventy-five cents a bag.’ Unfortunately, one doesn’t en­ counter many persons with such a mental attitude these days .People who are prepared to pay premiums for farm produce that is above the average qre few and far between. Instead customers continue shopping for low prices. If eggs were quot­ ed at five cents a dozen, there would still be people (of affluence) trying to buy them at two and three cents a dozen less. And if they can buy them at lower prices, they are elat­ ed. They boast about it.

Honor stance, and with the first fruits Of All thine increase. (Prov. 3:9.) No one knows what a really good time is until he has learned to give, and give generously and. freely, We may mistakenly think that getting everything we want is the secret of happiness. Getting does not com­ pare with giving tor bringing us happiness.—.and for making others happy as well. So we find that the Bible is a hook of giving; one of the golden notes through all the .harmonies of its music is the word "spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ, ’’Freely you have received, freely give,” The Jews, or Israelites, have the reputation of feeing shrewd and sue- cuessful “getters,” They have de­ monstrated their ability in this line through the centuries, as their pat- triarch Jacoib did. iBut let us be fair and give-the Jews credit for record-breaking giving also. The Bible always tells the truth about its characters; it depicts with re- - - .lentless accuracy the repeated fall- "Whosoever is of a willing heart, ures of Israel; and it also depicts'161 llim :bring it, an offering of the truthfully the splendid succeses ot, Lord, ’ 'This is repeatedly empha> the people .when these occur. This sized throughout the lesson chap- week’s lesson puts a big credit mark , to their account. Valuables of every sort were need­ ed for the building of the Holy tab­ ernacle of God and for equipping it suitably in all its furniture and. fit­ tings and instruments of . worship and priestly clothing, God .sent down manna from Heaven for (the people to eat; but He did not send do'wn silver and gold from Heaven foi’ tne tabernacle; instead. He asked the is delicious M* ■ft . ?IlI-rr. - - tant to God, He told Moses and tne people in great detail just what was to be brought tor the 'building of His tabernacle, and exactly how it was to be built and equipped. This is but one of the many evidences throughout the Scripture that God is not merely a blind force, a First Cause, a cosmic power working in the univeres; but that He is a per­ son, who knows, and loves, ana cares. Some one has well said that ’‘God is not a force, but a Father,” But there was one sharply de­ fined condition attached to the giv­ ing which God asked Israel to do. the no* the the commanded to make. And MoSes gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout camp, saying, let neither mad­ woman make any more work for offering of the sanctuary. So people were restrained from bring­ ing. For the stuff they had. was sufficient for all the work, to make it, and too much.” What would happen in a church today, if after the minister made arc­ appeal for needed gifts, he had to send .word to his people and beg sthem to stop, for they were bringing all that was needed, and ’too much.’ That church would be on the way toward, or in the midst of, a reviv­ al, For God blesses people who give freely to Him. An evangelist once said a true word: “You eftn’t beat God giving.” He challenged any ono to try it! no matter how mucji’any one may give to -God, God will give | more to that one.

God wants no- gift® from un­ willing givers, As Paul wrote many centuries later, we are to give “not grudgingly, or of necessity, for Goa loveth a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor. v, 7).
