Drunk with liberty which they did not understand, :filled with idealistic no - trans about tibg'equality of mon, ,ncl lacking istd,i'vi d u al e, production in Russia has practicably ceased; ac- cording to the evidences reaching the outside world. Trans,partatloln ttncl I distribution is so 'disorganized that e.veu were. thep,eet saints of the lmn,d producing their usual amount of food stuffs, the peo Ile• in. tlt,e manufactur- ing population 'Mau ed! stilt be without the inecelatsiary food supplies to sus- tain them in safety andcomfort: Jn- lessless the people of Russia steady down and organize themselves, for al- low other authorities eto organize thiein, there ;iN t'he, ',pas:ssbiliity of one of thie most stuipenidwous disasters to a nation and' a great people that ,ever ocurred in history. . Without authority for whom they have, fear and respect the `Russian peasant seems to be without motive or iinietiaitive. Bolsitev ism is sometimequoted in this coun- try as an ideal, worthy of initiation. The 'pass to which Russia has drift- ed is a wannirraig ,that Bolshevism and tnianity are not very far apart Ile nation that will weather the storm ,of this war the best is the nation that organizes most efficiently and discip- lines . itself mast strictly. Production must be carried an to a limit of our power,. Destructive criticism and; net. ty fault-finding are weaknesses tm,nd dangers. Unity of purpose and con- stituted leadership is essential. It is a car -.e of a strong pull, a long null and a pull altogether. Men must be found for the army, for munition mak- ing aid fol food production, Non essential <industries must provide risen foo "essential industries. Women, in this: country must take the places of mere to the limit of their power when called upon: Farmers must recognize ,t1w necessities of war and the public genera,' must unite to save the har- vest of 1918.

T1t,c vides,preard demand for bees this year has increased the risk of the ,preaid' of bee diseases. Two of these, American Foul Brood and European Foul 'Broad' cause a heavy loss to the beekeeping industry ev- ery year•, and wherever they are found thiey 81iould be treateid promptly trued' reported to the rrovincial' apiarist, or. bee inspector. Every beekeeper should know haw to recognize these diseases, and hiaw' to edistinguish them from the less serious Sacbrood.

Austria in undoubtedly on her last legs. Her army � e severe Meas just suffered a ever de- feat. Hunger stalks through the country. Her peopleare crying for peace at almost any price. And there is no prospect sof the Conditions het- terim5. Ru,isia, while of : not use to the Allied cause is of very little use to the enemy. Her producers are destroying the crops to save Them from the Hun, and unless Russia' se- cures vast quantities of food from China her :people; be starving n,ext winter. T1iee quantity of 'food that Germany will secure from Russia will not be great. German'y, .herself, is now held pretty tight on the western front. She has just suffered the loss of a great number of mens on her re- cent offensives, with only a small bit of territory gained. The number of British troops is greater than ever, while United States has now iiiearly a million men, in; France. The U-boats are being destroyed faster than they are being built; and the Allied are building- mare merchant ships than are being sunk by a good margin, The Hun warships are afraid to come .out. a -id the Allied fleets rule -the seas. $DOMINION DAY AT "HURON'S GOLDEN GATE."

How contemptible the pur- poses of men appear in comparison with, shat thtey might be. if we do His work' we are certain{ of His; pres- ence and help. Thie secret is personal effort_ You are tltp build up your- ,sfelf. The principle o;f ptersonal ef- fort is taught all through the Bible, "`Wark taut your own salvatiionf',•etc. Are not repentance and faith neces- sary ,to pardon? Certainly. Are they thie work of sinner Or of Gad? God cannot repent orbelieve for us. God givestsus opportunities, but our per- sonal active co-operation is necessary' to repentance aired belief, and thence to the salvation! of the seat, There is no heritage of piety,, Earnest heed and attention are necessary, 1'ruets of righteousness are never attained without effort. Work, prayer, watchfulness and hope are necessary to Christian life, These I want to leavle with you for the future. Build up yourselvses with these a character like Christ, This character must be butitlt up by us. Our beliefs -are only the foundations. Our character must .'be constantly 'added. to, Strive to gain a character grand in .,its outlines and., cam,plete in itself. We need ala -the graces of the spirit in abundance. We must pray for gracious influences, and, be consccious ,or •dependence on goad. We cannot improve' without prayer. Our duty is to seek by prayer and keep ourselves in the love of God. Our study ' must always be to please God. Look to the Christ for mercy unto 'eternal life. The mercy of Glad is above and 'be yon;d all thought and imagination. We have these pointed out as the only safe and honorable course.
