Pviueigie 1 Hon. Kidney Eiaber, Minister of Ag-

cline that more recruit.* could have
been obtained in Quebec if the right
appeal had been made to the people.
If this be true. Nr. Fisher, aid The
Montreal Daily Mail pointe out, must
accept a portion of the responsibility.
For thirty years Mr. Fisher has
been one of the representative public
men of Quebec, and he was under as
Meat obligation as anyone else to
stake "the right appeal " to the people
of his Province.—Toronto News.
The News cannot get away with a
statement like that. Mr. Fisher is not
in authority. What has been needed
all along, and is needed right now, is
Nome authoritative statement from
the (iovei•nment as to what is wanted
of the people, not in Quehee alone but
in Ontario also. in Quebec. the Gov-
ernment seemed to be fearful of doing
anything that would offend the Na-

come out as a recruiter there may
be different and a better story to

1917—the year of victory.
"Uneasy lies the heal that wears a
crown."
Well, Canadians will now have to
quit making remarks about Uncle

By the way, aren't there a lot of
things Ontario needs worse than the
proposed Provincial highway from
Windsor to Montreal ?

It is rumored that the United States

be in charge of the gas -throwing corps.
Talking about production, we should
like somebody to put in a word for the
growing of abundance of green peas

peas.

The member of the Legislature who
ridiculed the teaching of art in the
public schools, and thought it more
sensible that the child should be taught
to pull carrots than to make a drawing
of a carrot in flower, perhaps does not

in the schools as he thinks he dobe.

to criticism, but the criticism should

DOINGS AT THE LEGISLATURE.
Toronto, March 31. —All the English
Liberal members voted with the Gov.
rrnment on the latter's bill to appoint
a commission to take the place of the
Ottawa separate. school board, if the
latter neglect, or refuses to obey the
school laws. Five French members
were the only ones to tote against the
measure.
Mr. R 'well said that tbe Privy
Council had rendered its decisions oar

WHERE HURON LAGS BEHIND.
The County Should Have a District Agricultural
Representative, Says Mr. Revell.
A number of years ago the Guerin brace witb their special lines of wort.
Departments ot Agriculture and Edu-
cation selected six graduates from the
Ontario Agricultural College, and. 1t
might almost be saki, foisted thews men
upon the people in certain couutlee as
represe•tatives of the Department of
Agriculture.
The idea then was that tbexe men
should lecture on agricultural subjects in
the bind high schools That idea was
the chief object In the appointments.
These mea were practically lett to their
owa resources as te what other work'
they should attempt in their respective
counties. The wtsaius of these men
was little understood; they were much
leer appreciated, especially by the ,
farmers ill those counties. Their wel-
come was anything but encouraging;
mere each as, 'This 1s the youug wan
who has come down to show us bow to
farm," were not infrequent. Yet while
that idea was very far from the object
of his appointment, it was la tact Irhat
he actually did for many farmers.
True he did not go out and endeavor to
show thele sous of the soil how to bold
a plow, how W drive a horse. or things ,
of that nature that many men expected.
lint he did, and will continue to show
many farmers • great many little points
which are essential to a successful
practice of agriculture. b
He showed them bow to judge live
stock, which many, in spite of the i
year's they had been farming. were
unable to do. He showed them how to I
test seed corn, oats. etc.; be helped
them to organise Farmers' Clubs; he
surveyed their fields for underdrains,
and many other works, for which the
farmera were very grateful.
Just here I might say .bat I secured
• college student to survey Ridgcreet .
Farm a few years ago, for dreluage.
This work was done in a manner stud- i
lar to that done by the representatives.
About that time I was informed that
"Any fool could tell which way the
water ran." Yet these same surveyors
bave found drains so laid that if they
did work, the water would have to run
up hill; they have found five -inch tile
drai*ing into three-inch tile. Yet, "Any
fool can tell which way the water
runs." 'This survey was a needless
expense," and many other such compli-
ments were handed out. In this par-
ticular case the writer had to board one
man for • week, did fouror five days
extra labor, and paid him $1.50 for hie
week's work. For this expanse the
Ontario Agricultural Culleee furnished
• map of the farm showing all the
fences, trees. buildings. the levels every
ne hundred feet, the sizes of tile re-
quired aa3'advfsable location of &mins
etc., etc. Such nonsense ! Ye Oode !
"What is the country coming to'"
Why to Agricultural short courses in
every county.
The writer bas bad the privilege
of visiting a, large number of these
classes in Eastern and Western Ontario.
These classes vary In sage from elx 10
travesty. 1f one may judge from ap-
pearances practically all classes were
most entbualaetio in the work of the
representative. Thane students drive
from as far away as ten miler to these
classes every morning and return at
night to do chores at home. 1 have
personally met cases whero students'
have risen an hour or two earlier in the
morning. and In cold stonily days, n
oilier to accomplish some especially
itrtant task and still gel to the class
for the opening lecture at 9:30. I know
of cases where special lecturers were
scheduled to remain two or three hours
with a plass. but the interest of the
class in the subject In hand compelled
him to remain for • day and a halt.
I know of cases where a lecture was to
be given in forty-five minutes, to close
about noon hour. yet the class asked
questions for another throe quarters of
an hour.
This is indeed a very brief account of
a few details of the work done by the
representative of the Department of
Agriculture. The work has proven so
successful and so popular that the num-
ber of offices in Ontario has increased
from six in 1906 or 1909 W over forty in
1916. Ontario was the first province
to make the experiment. To -day the
"County Agent," as he is called in the
United States. 1s found in many coon -
'
ties in many states of the anion.
Some men say the public like to be
humbugged—a nice compliment to the
majority of the farmers in over forty
counties of Ontario. People liked to
be hun.bugged. It I am not seriously
mistaken the present cat has lasted so
long because certain nations have been
humbugged. But we all know what
is in store for those humbuggers.
There are three or four counties in
Ontario which have not yet asked the
Department of Agriculture for a repre-
sentative and promised the grant to-
ward his maintenance. Who in 0.2 -
tufo is humbugged, the people of
Huron and two or three other counties
or the remaining forty odd
11. K. RE.VELL
As the representative moved about
the country he gradually became more
popular. He soon became a welcome
visitor wherever be went. Later, the
idea was conceived that a local short
course in agriculture bead in some suit-
able place might be profitable. A com-
munity was selected. a prograim map-
ped out covering a period of four to six
weeks of five days each week. The

What we thick muses more fedi-
aeatiosii than what we sad,
During 1915-16 • series of articles in
The London Spectator, written by •
soldier at. the front, attracted much
attention. 1'bey were collected in •
volume entitled "Tbestudent inArm•,'
which has now run through ten edi
ties)-. The article which follows was
tier last to carne from bis pen, being
published in false $pestdor simultan
. ouely with tbe Dews that he had been
killed in a tion on the s irritate. This
article Iles since been reproduced in
pamphlet form and distributed by the
thoueaud t u-ougbuut England and the
army in France.)
This is at present the soldier's favor-
ite chnru. at !be front :
•' W hat'. the use of worrying 1

or prevent a light froom going up just
as you are halfway over the parapet
...so what on earth is the use of
worrying ? It you can't alter things,
you must accept them, and make the
lest of them.
Yet moms, men do worry. and by so
doing, effectually destroy their peace
of mind without doing anyone any
Roo'. Wl a' is worse, it is often the
religious men who worrier. I have
beard it meld that the soldier is so
caielese. realizes his position so little,
is so baud to touch. And, on the
other hard, t have heard the soldier
-sy Gist he did out w int religion, Iw-
ra..ee it would make him worry.
Strange, isn't it. 1f1131tristlaaity means
worry and anxiety, and 11 it N .only
the beathen that is cheerful and fres
from care ? Yet the feeling that this
is so undoubtedly exists, and it must
have some foundation. Perhaps It le
one of the subjects which ought to en -
Kegs the attention of churchmen In
these lay. of "repentance and hope."
Of course, worrying is about as un-
christian as anything can be. "Don't
worry about your life" 1. the Master's
express command. In (act, the call of
Christ is a call to something very like
the cheerfulness of the soldier in the
trenches. It is • call to a life of ex-
ternal turmoil and internal
"I came not to bring penes, ,l ut a
sword," "take up your crow and fol-
low Me," "ye shall he het d," "he that
would .ave his life shall lose it." It is'
a call telt ate risks. to risk poverty. un
popularity, humiliation, death. it is
• call to follow the Way 01 the Uro...
But the way of the Crow is also the
way ot peace. the peace of (i ,d tie, t
passeth understindiog. It is a way
of freedom from all cares and anxi-
eties and fears ; but out a way of es-
cape from them.
Yet worrying is often a feature of
the actual Christian. He is often a
w an whose COnea:ieoC. is an incubus..
He coo do nothing without weighing
motives and calculating results. It
makes him introspective to an extent
that is positively morbid. He is con-
tinually probing himself to discover
whether his motives are [wally pure
and disinterested. continually trying
to decide wbetber he is "worthy" or
"fit" W uudertake this of that respon-
sibility, or to face this or that event-
uality. He is full of suspicion of him-
self, or of self -distrust. In the t reecho'
he is always wondering wbether be is
flt to die, whether be will acquit him-
self worthily in a crisis, whether be
bas done anything that be ought not
to have done, or left undone •oythiog
that he ought to have done. E-pec-
ially if he is an officer, hie responsibil-
ity weighs on him terribly, and I bees
known mere than one good fellow and
conscientiouii Cbristiau wcrry him -
elf into thinking that be was unfit for
his responeihilities as an officer, and
ask to be relieved of them.
There must be something wrong
about the Christianity of such men.
Their overconscientiouaness seems
to create a wholly wrong sense of the
significance of their own actions and
characters which is as far removed as
can he from the child -like humility
which Christ twgbt. The truth
seems to he that we lay far Geo mach
stress on conscience, self-examination,
and personal salvation, end that we
trust the Holy Spirit tar too little.
If we look to the teaching of Chr et, ,
we do not find any recnmeuendation ,
to metirulnus self-analysis, Mit rather ,
we are taught • kind of marque! reck-
lessness., an unquestioning confidence
In what em to be right impulses, i
se
`grid that quite regardless of results.
We are not told to be careful to spend 1
ea, h peony to the fret advantage ;
het we are told that if nur money is
preventing us from entering the Hing -
d •m we had Fetter give it all away.
We sr- not told to set • high value on
our Yves, end to -pond them with care
for the good of yhe Kingdom. On the
contrary we are told to risk our lives
recklessly if we would preserve them.
A sense of anxious responsibility is
di•errrrwged. If our limbs cause us to
offend, we sreedvis d 1, cut ihem ..ff.
The whole teaching of the Gospels i.
that we have got t r find freedom and
peace in trusting ourselves implicitly
to the care of G.od. We have got to
follow what we think to be light quite
recklessly, and leave the Jesup to God -
end in judging betweso right an
wrong we ate only given two rules
for our guidsn^r. Everything which
shows love for God and love for man
is right. and everything which shows
personal ambition and anxiety is
wrong.
What all this means as far as the
trencbee are concerned is extraordin-
arily clear. Tate Christian is advised
not to be too pushing or ambitious.
He is advised to "take the lowest
room." Hut if be is told to move up
lumber, he has got to go. 1f he is
given responsibility, there is no gtreO-
tion of refs-ing it. He has got to do
his best and leave the issue to Ood.
If be does well, be will be given more
responsibility. Batt there Is no need
to worry. The same formula holds
good. Let him do his best and leave
the issue to 00d. It he does badly—
well, it he did his beet, t,h►r, means
that be was not flt for the job, end
he must toe willing to take a bumbler
job, and do his beat at that. As for
persnnsl danger he must not think of
it. If he is killed, that is a sign that
he is no longer indispensable. Per-
haps he is wanted elsewbere. 'Che
enemy can only kill the body, and the
body is mit the important thing about
him. Every man who goes t, war
must, if he is to be happy, give his
body. a living sacrifice, to tied and
his country. It is no longer his. He
need net worry *b sit it. Thef peace
of Goal which paweth all undlrstind-
ing simply comes from not worrying
about results because they are (rod's
business end not ours, and in trusting
implicitly all impolarm that make for
love of God and man. Few of u■
perhaps will ever attain to a full
tneasure of such faith : but at. Imut, we
can make sure that nur "Christianity"
brings us nearer to it.

Directory First!
Wi �1V you call a telephone number from
memory or when you guess ea it you
are apt to be wrong.
The mind has a trick of transposing figures -
instead. of "1263" you are quite likely to say
"1623.'
q And when you thus ask for the wrong
number, you waste your own time, the opera-
tor's. and the time of the person called through
your error.
1 Director, first is a good principle. In the
and it saves tune and temper to Ars consult
the latest issue of the telephone book.
