The people of Berlin vcaed In favor
of changing the startle of the city 'to
Kitchener. The Ontario Government
agreed to the change, and the Post
Office Departraent at Ottawa stated
that the name thus became autemat-

now be addxessed to Kitchener. Some
opPositionists madea fuss about it,
and some Liberal papers made a notse,
but we think the •people of that city
are the only ones who had any right
to feel concerned aver the Matter.
The change will not make them any
less loyal or any more loyal.

high ideals „because of the thre:. meth,
ode employed by setae, namely :-(1)
The lust et flesh; (2) The lust of
the eyes; t3) The lust of pride and
ambition. These three methods are
unchanging and universal from Gene-
sis to. Revelations and satan postpon-
es our acceptation of Christ until
some future date, and when we see
we t have tailed we :feel tonety, un-
• happy and sad. The remedy, or medi-
cine are twofold -(1) Quietness with
God. including solitude and medita-
tion; (2) Confidence ut God. Belief
in God is insufootent-the heathen, gc• .

which it is our bounden duty to, thank

love and forgiving powers; fourth,
His inestimable love in the redemp-
tion of the world by our Lord, Jesus
