It is difficult to compare great meet of different lands and tines so as to do them full justice. Each is the roan for his own time and place and serves his own age: Each has his cwn dis tinetive work to da. • But in each and eeery case the criterion of true great- ness is service. No man is great who does not serve, Christ is our model and our example, In Him we see greatness -in service and greatness through servicer "I ani among 'you," He said, "as one who serves." ,,.7uging by- this criterion Samuel ,e_.,-ee itled to -be called great. He served the people of his time through - .cut a long Iife unselfishly and well. As .servant in Eli's house, in training fit lie priesthood; as priest, and prth list, and judge of Israel; as unifier of the divided nation; as maker and counsellor of kings; in all these ea-. pacities he 'proved himself an honor- able and fearless nian and a true servant of the people. The .boy who an aeeed so readily in the night to' what he .supposed to be the voice of hie aged master, Eli, as a man ans- t el•cd just a;; readily to the• call of the nation, in which he learned to hear the voice of God. Let us consider some of his notable deeds: While still a boy, and much against his will, he declared the judg- ment of Gocl upon the house of the old priest Eli, .who had allowed' his t.ons to commit gross abuses and ,runes at the Sanctuary, and to bring the worship of the Sanctuary into ^cntcmpt (I 'Sam. 3). In later years he endeavored to us -Ate all the people of the widely scattered independent tribes of Israel in the pure worship of Iehovali, to the exclusion of all false gods and of all idolatry. For this pdrpase he called to Mizpeh, and again to Remain a first, second, and possibly a third assembly of repre- sentative men• of the tribes •for coun- :.el and for prayer. He believed that. a unity of spirit, and especially the unity of a commonworship, would be more effective and perthancnt than a militer,- or political organization. His ewn commanding, personality, and the great influence of his name and of his blameless character, were strong forces making for union. Then came the startling and disquieting demand that he find a king to lead Israel's armies, He had thought they needed no king but Jehovah only (chaps. -7-8). „When the Ming wag 'chosen and -the attempt was made to begin kingly Taking Stock on Canada's Afty=Third Birthday Anniversaries, in general, are use ful occasions on which to review the past, take stock of the present and toform resolutions for the future ie the light of experience. On this, the 53rd anniversary. of Confederation, let us take ani observation of our position, write our log -.bock up to date and shape 'our course to avoid the dangers ahead, that the good .ship "Canada" may have as, smooth and prosperous. a voyage as human fore - eight can assure; her. • We have weathered an awful temp- est. We have been somewhat battered and the watchers,on the bridge have had many anxious moments beta. on the whole, we have emerged safety and well, The storm has not entirely subsided, but the clouds are breaking and we can see blue sky ahead. We have every reason to congratulate 'ourselves on the planner in which our staunch little frigate has weathered. the hurricane in which several proud- er vessels,: and particularly the "Ger- mania," foundered and sank. The war, over, are we buckling down as we should to the problems of peace? It is to be feared that we are not doing our utmost to puts things again to rights. We are all more or less fatigued, no doubt, with our- effort; our nerves are somewhat on edge and we are too much disposed to wrangle over the job. But it j e high time that we were getting ovex this phase and settling• down once more into our regular routine. The greatest problem of the day is undoubtedly the scarcity of most com- modities, .with resultant --high prices and dear living.The salient fact to recognize in this connection is that this' condition is only partially a legacy of the war. It did not have its origin in the wear, for the •cost of living had been rising steadily since the last years of the 19th century right up to the outbreak of the con- flict. The conclusion is that the war merely intensified and accelerated a tendency already existiizg. Cause of Present Scarcity. Undoubtedly, one contributing cause of the present scarcity is extrava- gance. By this term, we mean not merely 'individual thriftlessness and ' ostentation ,which, to be sure, in its accumulative effect, is very: important -but also waste on a large scale. North America has handled its re- sources in an especially reckless man- ner. Canada, for instance, has the biggest per capita fire loss of any country in the wealth That; is to say, we are using up our plant and equip- ment faster than any other people, and a greater proportion of our new construction is mere replacement and notsethe creation of fresh wealth. Not only have our manufactured products been thus dissipated but, what is even more serious, the natural resources on which our industries depend have been seriously depleted. Canada started on her career in 1867 with a niagnificeot dower of .unexploited natural wealth. It was so vast that the dangerous word "inexhaustible" Vas often applied to it. In those days they could not get the trees out of the way fast enough; now it is a ques- tion where to find trees to keep the lumber mills busy.. Then, the waters teemed with fish; to -day, the Fraser River sockeye, the Great Lakes white- fish, the Atlantic shad, to mention only a few examples, . are threatened with absolute extinction. No less serious is the exhaustion- of soil fere tility. On the western plains, the. "soil -mining" .methods of the pioneer are showing their baneful results to- day in decreased yields and weed - choked farms. Thus, the economic problems of the older lands have over- taken thisuntra centur . .co half Y y in The remedy foe, this state of affairs is CONSERVATION.

It is quite possible --except in the case of minerals ---so to exploit our natural wealth that it shall never diminish, but shall even increase, We can cut down trees without destroying the forest; we can grow erops and leave the soil as fer- tile as. ever; we can gather a rich harvest from the finny tribes and from the furred and feathered .World without depleting the parental stock. As regards minerals, though, of course, one used they can never be replaced, we can, with care, indefin- itely postpone the evil day of scarcity and exhaustion. Let us consider'in a little greater detail how these desir- able ends may be attained. Forestry Practice. As regards the forest, our own men- tal attitude towards it is largely to blame. We have inherited from pioneer days a disposition to regard. it as something to be cut down to make'room for settlement. .We must assimilate the idea that the forest is a crop and is to be cultivated as such. Perhaps it will not be necessary for us to prepare the ground and plant trees; if natural reproduction is'suffi- cient, so much the better. But we must give natural reproduction a chance to .aet. In the first place, it is quite in order to tackle the virgin. forest and cut down the bigger trees. Conservation does not mean mere preservation. A virgin forest has attained its maximum growth; it is a ripe crop and needs harvesting. By taking out the larger trees, we give the younger ones a chance to develop. After such selective cutting, the growth will more than balance the decay and we are distinctly the gain- ers by the process. It should not be assumed, however, that proper selection can be attained by the simple rule -of -thumb method of imposing a diameter limit, below which trees cannot be cut. Every tree in the forest competes with its fellows for light, air, moisture and soil food. It follows that all unsound. trees should be removed, whether ma- ture or not. Further, the spacing -of the trees that are left must be con- sidered. Each must have room to grow. Hence, what is needed is in- telligent selection directed by trained men.. A 'further consideration which enters into this problem is that the whole character of a forest can be changed by removing certain species and leaving' others. This prooess is actually going on in the pulpwood areas of Eastern Canada. The coni- ferous trees, especially spruce and balsam, are being cut down, while less valuable hardwoods . are being left because it does not pay tore-' move them. Consequently, these hard- woods now dominate the cut -over areas and retard or prevent the 'growth of a second crop of pulpwood. The best solution of this problem would be the development of some economic use for these hardwood trees. Intelligently to cultivate the for- est, it is necessary to know how long the crop takes to mature. This is not accurately known at present but growth studies, now being uncles: - taken by the Commission of Conser- vation, are expected to answer the question. It will take- three or four years, however, before the results'can be determined. The practice of forestry is useless without proper fire protection. Since Confederation, it is safe to say that more merchantable timber has been burned than cut. The principal dam- age to -day,- however, is to the young growth, for the fires are mostly in cut -over areas. res . An efficient fire-pa- trolling ire-pa-trolling force must be provided. But, as an ounce of prevention is worth a poundeof cure, proper .slash disposal is most important. All the debris rule, Samuel did two very important things. He chose and set apart the king in such a way, by anointing with holy oil, as to impress upon him the fact of the supreme lordship of Je- hovah, and Of the authority of His prophet. And he wrote in a book the manner of the kingdom. That is to say, lie wrote the ancient lawn which guaranteed freedom and justice and the. rights of the men of Israel as against any usurpation of them, -or exercise of arbitrary power,, on the part of the king. And so he made the recognition of Jehovah a fundamental part of the constitution of the new kingdom, and he gave to king and kingdom an ideal character, as the earthly representatives of the person and rule of the heavenly King, an. ideal toward which the prophets of subsequent tines continually directed the hope and ambition of Israel (10: 25). Two great disappointments and sorrows canto to aSnnuel, The first was the misconduct of his own sons (8; 1-5) The second was the stub- born and childish petulance and wil- fulness of Saul, who refused to bo guided by the prophet's counsel (chaps, 13 and 15), and who for this reason was rejected from being king and another chosen to take his place, Saul, in becaking with Samuel, sep- arated himself from one who would always have been the wisest• and most disinterested of counsellors, who had a very strong hold upon the hearts of the people, and whose faith would have been a constant source of strength and courage. Saul was a good soldier, but anis alone cannot make a nation great. Saul with Samuel might have wrought great things. Some of the sayings of Samuel have been often repeated and are well worth memorizing. For example: "Prepare your hearts unto the Lord and serve him only" (7:3). "Hitherto. hath the Lord helped us" (1: 12). "For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake" (12: 22). "Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacri- fices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold,. to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rains (15: 22). "For nien 1poketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord-looketh on the heart" (16: 7), Samuel's greatness lay in service. Ile was a man of his own time, with the limitations of his age and time, but he was wholly disinterested and. unselfish, He sought ne wealth;' worldly honor or advantage.

(Concluded next week). Our Emblem By OWEN STAPLES. As early as 1700 the maple was looked upon as a fit emblem for, Canada. In 1812 the British and Can -1 adieus, when fighting in the woods, concealed their scarlet uniforms 'byt cutting slits in the breasts of their tunics and inserting leaves of maple.I Miss. Carnahan notes that the Royal Canadian Society at Grimsby designed] andpainted on it were large l a bannerb autumn maple leaves, which was car- ried in procession October 13, 1853. In 1859 the maple leaf was placed on the regimental colors of the 100th Regiment. As the floral emblem of Canada the maple leaf dates from 1860, when Edward VII., then Prince of Wales, visited this country. Sir Daniel Wilson, late president of the Toronto University, relates a most interesting Indian legend. The Chippawas believed the mother of their tribe was a great Manitou made out of a tree. She had three sons at a birth. .The first became a beaver, who built his lodge by the river; the second, a fish, who swam swiftly down the river and was lost in the great lake, and the third be- came the father of the Chippawas. One day while out hunting, the third son was mei by the Great Spirit, who told him to shoot the first living thing he saw, and he would never want for food thereafter. He hunted several days, but saw nothing, and returned home to his lodge. His mother came to meet hive, quickly told him he had not obeyed the Great Spirit, and then fled. Suddenly remembering she was the first living thing he had seen, he raised his bow and shot her. Imme- -diately she turned into a sugar maple tree. When the Indian withdrew his arrow from the tree trunk the sap flowed bait and he quenched his thirst and gave of it to his brother the Beaver. The Coat of Arms of Quebec grant- ed by Royal Warrant, May, •1868, shows a sprig -of three green Maple leaves on a gold background compris- ing the lower third of the entire; shield. Barlow Cumberland (History of; the Union Jack), says "the Maple is! heraldically recognized as the emblem, of Canada, but has no definite place on the coat of arni"s•of the Dominion. It merely appears on two of the four provincial shields." The Government sanctioned in 1870 a green garland of Maple leaves on the Dominion arms. Ordinary civil usage has given our emblem a larger freedom—on our coins, postage; stamps, Northwest and Canada serv- ice medals and in our poetry and song. There is an English superstition respecting the Maple—that long life will be conferred upon the children who are passed through its 'branches. Its beauty and strength have not escaped the poet's eye. Such men as Roberts, Ascher, -Campbell, McColl and Kirby, Sangster, Lovell, Emerson and Muir have not failed to grasp its true emblematic meaning. And what to t g j could be More significant to -day than the words of' the poet Johnson? "And when its leaves all crimson Droop silently and fall, Like drops of life blodd welling From a warrior brave and tall; It tells how fast and freely Would her children's' blood. be shed, E'er the soil of our faith and freedom Should echo a foeman's tread."

The paid-up capital of the Bank was enlarged during that period by $1,400,000, representing an increase of 20%, Not only did the now capital immediately justify itself, so far as earnings were concerned, hut it was accompanied by a growth in the total volume of business which was suf- ficient to keep the ratio of capital to assets unchangod for the year. The assets of the Bank are 18.40% great- er than they were at the beginning of the year, having increased from $166,- 725,404,95 to $197,387,855,14. Of this growth $24,900,000 is accounted for by the remarkable expansion in deposits which largely represent the savings of the clients of the Bank and which are now over $163,000,000; The Bach was able to'malntaln a strong liquid position throughout the year. Quick assets at the end of April were ovctr $72,697,546,36, and were at a ratio of 40.S1% to the total public liabilities, mounting to $179,- 988,920.94. The Bank's share in the task of financing the commercial and industrial business of ,the, Dominion was well attended to, the sum of $113,- 198,913 being devoted to current loans and discounts in Canada. The sum of $3,587,491.69 ,was loaned to Cana- dian cities, town's, municipalities -'and school districts, and $1,117,268.51 loaned otherwise than in Canada. The shareholders benefited largely by the prosperity of the institution. The annual distribution of profits was increased by the addition of 1% bonus to the 12% dividend regularly in „force, while the shareholders also enjoyed the -privilege of acquiring a large is- sue of new stock at much less than its market value. The distribution of profits was, how- ever, moderate in comparison with the earnings, which were at the rate of 20.43% on capital stock, or 10.64% on the actual investment of the share- holders, when the Rest Fund is taken into consideration. Of the remaining profits $100,000 was written off the Premises Account, and $700,000 added to the Rest bund, but a portion of the latter amount was derived from the profits of previous years, as the Profits carried forward now stand at $260,774.
