EDITORAL NOTES.
Two or three men meet. An invita-
tion to have a drink follows, and they
line up before the bar. Each gets what
he orders, but the law steps in to say
that one must not pay for the others.
Therefore, with mutual consent, each
pays for his own drink, or drinks, in-
stead of each "standing treat,” and
thus equally dividing the expense. The
solitary drinker is not molested. The
prohibition of treating will not prevent
-two or three friends, or half a dozen
from passing an evening in the bar to-
gether, or sitting clown for a jamboree.
All that is imposed is that each man
must bear his own expenses. In the
majority of cases the expense end will
work very much the same as if there
were no anti -treating law. - Peterboro
Review, Con.
Mr. Bennett, of Calgary, says that
the Canadian West is largely peopled
by American farmers, who have been
taught to hate Wall street and the
East, and who think that the Canadian
West may be similarly dominated by
"big interests" in the East. Mr. Ben-
nett and the journals which support
him think that the remedy lies in stern-
ly suppressing all talk about big inter-
ests. Our opinion is that the remedy
lies in sternly restraining the big inter-
ests, and not allowing them to domin-
ate either East or West. If the big
interests are not abusing their powers,
more talk will do no harm. If the big
interests are abusing their powers, the
sound policy is to attack the abuse, not
to say "hush" to everybody who com-
plains of it. For our part, we welcome
the sturdy American farmers, who are
thoroughly imbued with the idea of
asserting their rights against Wall
street, and every institution that cop-
ies Wall Street methods. — Toronto

Wild Oats and False Wild Oats.
According to a bulletin recently is-
sued by the Seed Branch of the De-
partment of Agriculture at Ottawa,
there is a type of more or less harmless
Wild Oat that is frequently confused
with the true Wild Oat which is recog-
nized as being one of the worst of
weeds. This publication, prepared by
Mr. Norman Criddle, describes field ex-
periments with these two plants and
explains by means of charte and des-
criptive matter their distinguishing
characteristics. According to this
authority, it is a comparatively simple
matter to distinguish the two sorts in
growing stage as the false variety
shows the same manner of growth as
the cultivated oat while the true Wild
Oat exhibits a different habit. In the
seed form, the difficulty of telling them
apart is greater more especially in so
far as some of the smaller varieties of
the False Wild Oats are concerned.
With the larger sorts, the difficulty of
distinguishing them is more easy as an
experienced eye will at once detect the
False Wild Oat by its larger size and
and its usual close resemblance to the
cultivated variety in which it is found.
Generally speaking too, the outer seed
coat is more open in front with culti-
vated forms and False Wild Oats so
that the inner coat is broadly visible,
whereas in Wild Oats, the edges of
the outer coat almost meet. Readers
,interested in distinguishing Wild Oats
from False Wild Oats would do well to
write to the Publications Branch, Dept.
of Agriculture, Ottawa, for a copy of
Bulletin No. S, 7.

ed about than ignored,

solve the glue by soaking it well until
sc,ftened,then hang it over a slow fire
in a kettle immersed in a larger kettle
containing boiling water, until dis-
solved, before adding it to the lime.
Stir this well, and add five gallons of
hot water, stirring until thoroughly

as the lime destroys the color, and the
color has a bad effect on the white-
wash making it crack and peel. This
amount is for a large surface, but by
keeping the proportions, a larger or
smaller amount may be made. It is
claimed that this will last twelve to
twenty years.
ATTACKING THE CLERGY.
There has been too much slobber over
John Jacob Astor, merely because he
was a millionaire. The London Free
Press even goes out of its way to attack
the clergy on his account, in this rankly
unjust paragraph;
"Hardly could a cleryman be found
who would consent to perform the
marriage of the millionaire because his
course did not conform to their ideas of
what was right and what was wrong,
but now that he has died a pathetic
death he is suddenly revealed as a man
of great courage, an author, an inventor,
a philanthropist, and a general human
benefactor. From Astor the American
pulpit and press has turned to Ismay,
upon whom they empty without mercy
and apparently without justice, the
vials of their wrath."
This is equivalent to saying that the
clergymen who denounced or refused to
re -marry Mr. Astor were narrow-minded
sensation -mongers. Look at the facts.
The divorce was granted to Mrs. Astor
because of her husbands breach of the
moral law. It is the rule of more than
one church that none of its ministers
shall re -marry the guilty person in div-
orce suit. Those clergymen who re-
fused to perform the ceremony for Mr.
Astor obeyed their church ordinances
and honored the cloth.
Col. Gracie, one of the survivers of
the Titanic says that Mr. Aster asked
to be allowed to accompany Mrs. Aster
on a life boat but was refused by a ship
officer.. After that, from all accounts,
Astor helped women and children into
the lifeboats and made himself useful.
No doubt he met death bravely at the
last moment, but no more bravely, so
far as the world knows, than 1,600
other persons, that he should be singled
out for special praise is merely a symp-
tom of money worship and flunkeyism.

WHERE DO YOU SHOP?
Advertising brushes away cobwebs
and dust, smartens shop windows and
quickens the intelligence of salesmen.
Advertising makes the merchant
think of yotf—of your wants and needs;
makes him anxious to serve to your
liking and advantage.
Advertising keeps stock from having
birthdays.
Advertising acquaints you with new
things, and so brightens your home,
your life, your person.
Advertising keeps a business from
growing lazy and stupid. Advertising
injects good red blood into the arteries
of a business, and keeps it healthful
and active.
Shop where your wants and needs
are uppermost in the mind of the mer-
chant. Shop in the store which reflects
you, where you dominate. Shop where
your money returns to you in better
goods, better values, better service.
Shun the shop that is dumb and dark
and dreary; kee; away from the shop
that never speaks to you, never smiles
at you, Stever bothers about you.
Reward by your custom the merch-
ant who lives to serve you, and who is
doing his utmost to build up this com-
munity, who takes you into his confid-
ence by means of advertifiements in
your local newspaper.
They are candid with you. The most
progressive business men in any town
are those who talk to the public
through the newspapers.
Lame baek is nsually caused by rheum-
atism of the mspeles of the back for
which you wil find nothing better than

The topic of this lesson is "Love,"
and the pattern is "the love of God.'
At first sight the teaching is mos
extraordinary and tate practice seem-
ingly impossible and beyond all reason.
(Great grace might enable us to love our
euetuies, do good to those who bate ua,
bless those who curse us and pray for
Buell as despitefully use us, but when it
comes to lending without hoping for a
return, giving to every one that asks
and letting the 1511111 that takes your
cloak have your coat also it sloes look
like a gond time for tramps, impostors,
thieves and robbers. We know that
the righteous Lord loveth righteous-
ness, 0 a anything unrighteous Ho
would not do nor risk us to do, so we
must prayerfully wait upon IIim for
clearer light upon this teaching. Ac-
cording to verse 35 and Matt. v, 45,
the object is that we may be mani-
festly "the children of the Highest,"
"the children of our Fattier which le
in heaven." It is therefore not a
matter of what is expedient or ac-
cording to reason, but how can we
as the children of God make people to
know our Father, God. lie was teach-
ing Ills disciples (verse 20i, those who
had received IIim as the Christ, the
Son of Uod, and had left all to follow
111m, those whom Ole was to leave in
the world in Ills stead, that because
of them the world might believe and
know the only living and true God
and Jesus Christ, whore He sent int*
the world to manifest Him (John xvii,
3, 11, 21, 23h It Is truly a higt., holy,
heavenly calling to represent God and
Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit
and be so alive to their interests that
we shall be wholly dead to our own.
The love of God and of Jesus Christ
is the greatest thing we ever heard of,
and there are no more wonderful state,
ments concerning it than John ill, 16;
I John I11, 16.
Put with these "God cominendeth His
love toward us in that while we were
yet sinners Christ died for us." "In
this was manifested the love of God
toward ns because that God sent His
only begotten Son into the world that
we might live through Him." "Ho
spared not His own Son, but delivered
IIim up for us all." "Christ loved the
church 'and gave Himself for it."
"The church of God which He bath
purchased with His own blood." "The
Son of God loved me and gave Him-
self for fine" (Rom. v, 8; rill, 32; 1
John iv, 9, 10; Eph. v, 25; Acts xx,
28; Gal. fl, 30). In the light of such
tremendous statements cousider the
treatment that He received when here
in humiliation and even as 11e taught
our lesson of today. He was in the
world which He had made, but it
knew Him not; He came unto His own
special people Israel, but they received.
IMim not. Their rulers had no kind
words or thoughts for Him. They
said that He had a devil and was mad
and that He deceived the people, and
in their hatred they finally killed Etna,
accusing Him falsely and giving Him
no semblance of a fair trial (John 1, 10,
11; vii, 12, 20; vill, 52; x. 20). Yet He
bore it all patiently and did not talk
back nor strike back, though He might
have swept them off the earth with a
look or a word, as He will do at His
coming in glory to set up His king-
dom and share it with His own re-
deemed ones (isa. xi, 4; II•Thess. 11, 8;
Col. Hi, 4; Rev. lel, 21).
Now, considering that by such love
and by the sacrifice of Himself He
has at such infinite cost and by such
suffering, bearing our sins in His own
body, made all who receive Him chil-
dren of God and joint heirs with aim -
kelt, partakers of His kingdom and
glory, does it not look h good bit
easier to love, to bless, to help others
for His sake, to give, to lend, to do
good, hoping for nothing again, to
serve those who cannot nerve us in re-
turn? Do we not feel like saying RS
Mephibosheth said of Ziba, "Yea, let
him take all, forasmuch as my Lord
the King is come again" (II Sam. =ix,
80).
Our Lord never encouraged wrong-
doing, and°we may be sure that He
would not have us do anything to en-
courage injustice and oppressfion, theft
or robbery or idleness or anything
of the spirit that would wrongfully
take the property of another. But He
would have us show in our daily life
that we have such treasure in Himself
and in His kingdom that we are ready
to ase all present things for the good
of others if only we tnay win them tot;
Him, bearing meekly any Ines or erose,
for His sake. The love of Christ eon -r
straineth us to live no longer unto our-
selves, but unto Him who died for us
