McIvor was open for any sideline in
dishonesty that gave promise of lu-
crative returns and his agent, Weiler,
had been very busy in Toronto recent-
ly. Somebody had tipped J. C. Nickle-
.
a.stic.ally he preachgtl, neither his
ministers nor his little congrega-
tions' would_ do the things he urged.
Then came leis great opportunity.
On the last day of May. 1792, Carey
preached the great historic sermon
that has proved such a hleseing for
alt heathen lands. I -le spoke at Not-
tingham, England, and chose as his
text„ "Lengthen thy cords an.d. trength-
on thy stakes, for thou shalt break ;
forth on the right hand and on the
left; and thy seed shall inherit the t
CeLiles and make the desolate cities
to be inhabited." In Inc sermon, he
used two ringing phrases: "Expect
great things front God" anal "Attempt
great things for God."
"If all the people had lifted up their
voices and wept," says Dr. -Ryland, re-
ferring to the sermon, "I should not
have -wondered ^at the- effect, so clearly
did Mr. Carey prove itow criminal is
our supineness in the cause of God."
But the people didgnot weep', they
did not even wait; they arose to leave
a,s usual. That was too much for the
preadher. Stepping- down from the
pulpit, he caught hold. of tire hand of
the apostle of the miesions, Andrew
Fuller, and wrung It in an agony of Lift Off wilt Fingc-r
' .
diStr " Are we not going to clo
som ething ?" e cried. "0 Fuller, call
them back; call them back! We dare
not separate without doing aalything!"
reeponso to so passionate an en-
treaty Faller called the people back,
and the great, result of itnwas that
they formed the first missionary
society, and Carey became the first
misaiottary- of it, Let him that beareth

The rendering o/ so much of the
Canadian wheat crop into dour before
it leaves the country makes for great-
ly. increased industrial activity and
empleyment as well as greater eroll
revenue, phases which are also reflect.
ed in the export Of the, finished pro- •
duct, It is stated that at the present
time only about one-tenth of the Cana-
dian wheat crop is groencl into flour
in the Doaniniong-Whi&I suggests at
once the possibilities of the expan-
sion .of the industry.
Judged by the value of production,
the flour milliug intlustry ran.ks hest
among Canada's manufacturing aetty
ties though' it assumes artily seventh .
place in the amount, of capital inveat.
ed. At the industrial census of 1919,
it was discovered that there were in
Canada 1,255 flour mills tvith a daily
capacity of 141,283 barrels. The total
amoutit of capital invested thes
plants was $76,411,423; 7,371 persons
found employment in their activities

The Domestic and Export Market,

Though the annual capacitgleet, Cane-
,dian flotif mine. is about Zie,000,000
barrels of freer of all kinds, the, y
mestic market consumes only abo it
8,000,000 barrels. The renrain,der
ia-
avaiable for export and annually finds
its way to. almost without exception,
every country of the globe. The ex. ,
port trifle iu wheat flour is eonsicler,
a,bly augmented at the present time.
by reason of the wide favor it obtained
daring the war, period, and though the
exceedingly high demands of the
ye.a,rs of hostilities have largely' fallen
off, expert figures remain in great ex-
cess over pre-war figures anal the ex-,
pectation of exporters is that further
increases -will be noted in the future,
In the year 1909, exponts of wheat
flour from. Canada totalled 1,788,038
barrels. In the fallowing year they
were 3,064.028 and steadily increased
thereatter)until reaching a, total of 4,-

was abnorrna.1 ,during the years of the
war, trenching Ian aggregate of 9,931,-
