EDITORAL NOTES.
IL F. Gadsby, who is touring the
West for the Toronto Star, says he
finds the settlers from the United
States make good Canadians and are
proud of their Canadian citizenship.
He writes:
Succession duties received by the
Provincial Treasurer for the month of
April amount to $SS.615, as compared
with $135,387 for the same month last
year. For the six months ending April
3 t, the succession duties received are
8356,675. This amount is also less than
that covering the same period of the
previous fiscal year, which was 8524,-
207, but even with that the receipts
are over the sum estimated. The Pro-
vincial Treasurer is expecting $701,000
during the year from this source, so up
to the present the estimate has been
exceeded slightly.
Eighty per cent. of the citizens of
the Canadian West are American -born.
That may have been one reason why
the West was so strong for reciprocity.
It is no reason whatever for saying
that the West favors annexation to the
United States. All the Canadianized
Americans I talked to in clubs, hotel
lobbies, smoking cars, on the street,
on their farms, in their houses, were
satisfied that Canada is a better coun-
try to live in and die in than the United
States, and have taken out papers to
that effect. They like our respect for
law, our regard for marriage, our
sound morals, our well -reasoned institu-
tions, our sane living, our wholesome
thinking, our comparatively honest
politics, and last, but not least, our
Government, which is much more of,
by and for the people than the one
they left behind. Once in a while a
visiting American may rise on his hind
legs and bray when the orchestra in
the Alexandra hotel plays Yankee Dood-
le or Dixie, but that's only cocktails
and hot air, and could be cured if the
orchestra would play Rule Britannia or
the Maple Leaf immediately aferwards
and give the native-born something to
cheer for. But the real sentiment of
the American who has made his home
in the Canadian West is not like that.
He is proud of his adopted country. He
is a better Canadian for having once
been a good American, and makes no
bones of acknowledging it.
Greens.
The pampered gourmet wishes for
fancy kinds of dishes, kinds fit for
kings and queens; but to the humble
diner there's naught on earth that's
finer than good old-fashioned greens.
For months my soul was sighin' for
spivach, dandelion, and other whole-
some yarbs; they are the sign and
token that winter's back is broken -
the harbinger that herbs. Oh, greens!
There's nothing beats 'em! The man
who daily eats 'em has better grub, by
jing, to still his stomach's groanin'
than ever yet was known in the palace
of a king! Oh, greens! Our mothers
stewed 'em, our fathers gladly chewed
'em, and hence those rugged sires who
cleared the woods and prairie and
scrapped with wild beasts hairy to
guard their cottage fires. Note all
those famous creatures whose proud
and handsome features appear in maga-
zines; if you but knew their story,
you'd find they rose to glory through
having eaten greens. All garden sass
is splendid, and never may be ended the
fame of peas and beans; may naught
decrease the numbers of squashes and
cowcurnbers-but best of all are greens!

HEADACHE
Seems To Be Habitual
With Many People.
Some are seldom, if ever, free front it,
suffering continually and wondering why
they eau get no relief.
Headaches are generally caused by
so tie derangement of the stomach or
bowels, or both.
Burdock Blood Bitters removes acidity
It the stomach, improves digestion, acgu-
1,1 the constipated boatels, and pro-
mv.'; a perfect circulation of pure blood
t 1 til portions of the body, thereby curing
;ie,adathcs by rtntoving the cause.

Many years ago a boy left home to
seek his fortune. All that he had was
tied up in a bundle which he carried in
his hand. As he trudged along he met
an old neighbor, the captain of a canal
boat.
'Well, William, where are you going?'
a,ked his friend.
'I don't know,' William answered;
'father is too poor to keep me at home
any longer, and says I must now snake
a living for myself.'
'There's no trouble about that,' said
the captain. 'Be sure you start right,
and you'll get along finely.'
William told his friend that the only
trade he knew anything about was
soap making and candle -making, at
which he had helped his father while
at home.
'Well,' said the old man, 'let me pray
with you once more, and give you a
little advice, and then 1 will let you
go.'
They both knelt upon the tow -path
-the path along which the horses
which drew the canal boat walked.
The dear old man prayed earnestly for
William, and then gave him this advice:
'Some one will soon be the leading soap
maker in New York. It can be you as
well as any one. I hope it may be.
Be a good man; give your heart to
Christ; give the Lord all that belongs
to him of every dollar you earn; make
an honest soap, give a full pound, and
I am certain you will yet be a prosper-
ous and rich man.'
When the boy reached the city he
found it hard to get work. Lonesome
and far away from home, he remem-
bered his mother's words and the last
words of the canal boat captain. He
was then led to 'seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness,' and unit-
ed with the church. He remembered
his promise to the old captain, and the
first dollar he earned brought up the
question of the Lord's part. In the
Bible he found that the Jews were com-
manded to give one-tenth, so he said:
'If the Lord will take one-tenth, I will
give that.' And he did; and ten cents
of every dollar were sacred to the
Lord.
Having regular employment and be-
ing faithful and interested, he soon be-
came a partner. After a few years his
partner died, and William became the
sole owner of the business.
He now resolved to keep the rest of
his promises to the old captain. He
made an honest soap, gave a full
pound, and instructed his book-keeper
to open an account with the Lord, and
carry one-tenth of all his income to
that account. He prospered; his busi-
ness grew; his family was blessed; his
soap sold, and he grew richer than he
had hoped. He then gave the Lord
two-tenths, and prospered more than
ever; then he gave three -tenths, then
four -tenths, then five -tenths.
He educated his children, settled all
his plans for life, and then devoted all
his income to the Lord. He prospered
more than ever.
This is the story of Mr. William
Colgate, of Colgate and Co., who has
given millions of dollars to the Lord's
cause, and left a name that will never
die. -[In the Pittsburg 'Christian Ad-
ocate.'

"For the thirteen months I was so
bad with chronic indigestion that 1
could not go out of doors. Nerves were
unstrung, the heart bad, and smother-
ing feelings came on till I thought I
would choke. Doctors failed me so I
began the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney -
Liver Pills, which I thank for my pres-
ent good health. I am now doing my
housework and have a family of ten."
Man's Ingratitude.
The calendar of the Bruce County
House of Refuge is a standing adver-
tisement of the ingratitude of the chil-
dren of Bruce. The building it is true
was erected from charitable funds but
the inmates arge generally contributed
from uncharitable homes. A burial
some time ago from that institution
brought stylish people here from
various cities in Canada and as they
covered the casket with costly flowers
and copious tears, the onlookers were
surprised to learn that the mourners
were none other than the children of
the deceased who had deferred until
death the gratitude they owed their
parent in life. How often one sees a
father toiling and slaving to send his
boy to eollege and the son no sooner
gets to the city than he forgets the
"Old Man" and even later goes so far
as to look down upon his benefactor as
a 'way -back hayseed', who cannot ex-
press himself in refined slang. The
sin of ingratitude is not a new evil in
the world, the scriptures showing that
of ten lepers healed, only one returned
to give thanks, which proves that by
nature it is ten to one if we be thank-
ful. --Herald and Times.
It would surprise you to know of the
great good that is being done by Cham-
berlain's Tablets. Darius Downey, of

CONNAUGFIT AND KERR JOIN IN
MOVEMENT FOR GOOD ROADS.
Moved by the same high public spirit
and tate single purpose of bringing the
roads of Canada up to the standard that
will be a credit to the nation, and an
example to the world at large, His
Royal Hi,ghnea the Duke of Con-
naught, and/W. J. Kerr hold the two
highest positions in the gift of the
Canadian Highway Association, that
of patron and president respectively.
The Canadian Highway will be an
accomplished fact within the next few
years, and the outside world will then
know that in this broad Dominion there
is a road more than 3,000 miles long
over which' an automobile can travel
from coast to coast in safety and with
comfort. The country that offers the
wealthy tourist the splendid roads that
Canada will have, the magnificent
scenery and exceptional opportunities
of investment, will reap alarge harvest
from its visitors.
This association was formed in New
Westminster, B.C. last November, and
it was at this meeting that Mr. Kerr, a
weathy resident of the coast and the
principal mover in the convention that
resulted in the formation of the associa-
tion, was elected president. Some time
later the Governor-General of Canada,
whose activity in the cause of good
roads, is well known to those interest-
ed in this work, was approached and
requested to permit his name to be us-
ed as that of Patron, the following res-
olution being forwarded to him after a
meeting of the executive of the asso-
ciaton: -
Moved by President W. J. Kerr,
Seconded by Vice -Pres. A. E. Todd,
"His Royal Highness the Duke of
Connaught, Governor-General of Can-
ada, having in many ways shown his
interest in good roads and more partic-
ularly by his speech from the throne
at the last formal opening of parlia-
ment, be it therefore
"Resolved, that the secretary extend
to His Royal Highness the thanks of
the officers of the Canadian Highway
Association for lending his influence to
the cause of roads improvement, and
further,
"That the secretary respectfully in-
form His Royal Highness that it is the
earnest desire of the members of this
association that His Royal Highness
should consent to become Patron of the
Canadian Highway Association."
The following reply was received a
few days ago by P. W. Luce, secretary
of the Association: -
Government House, Ottawa.
Dear Sir, -I am desired by the Gov-
ernor-General to a'lacknowledge receipt
of your letter and to inform you in reply
that His Royal Highness will be pleas-
ed to become Patron of the Canadian
Highway Association as requested by
your Executive Committee.
His Royal Highness is much interest-
ed in the subject of good roar's, and
wishes your association every success.
I am, Yours faithfully,
Arthur F. Sladen,
Private Secretary.
The Duke of Connaught has long
been interested in good roads and has
shown in many ways that he is strong-
ly in sympathy with any movement
that will tend to better the transporta-
tion facilities of this or any other coun-
try. Travelled man as he is, and train-
ed in observations of things that make
for the public weal, His Royal High-
ness has put to practical use the know-
ledge gained in Canada, England, on
the continent, and in foreign countries,
and he believes he has acted wisely in
allowing his name to become associat-
ed With the enterprise fathered by the
Canadian Highway Association.
"Good roads are a social and eco-
nomic necessity, and good roads we
will have all over Canada before I am
ready to acknowledge that the work of
the Canadian Highway Association is
finished," says President W. J. Kerr.
And he means every word of it.

story of how he bought a silver mine
at Cobalt. He tested the ground, be-

out to be frost; but he made the dis-

Rom. xiii, 8, R. V. -Commentary' Pre-
pared by Eiov. D. M. Stearns.
The gospel by Matthew is in a spe-
clnl sense the ,gospel of the kingdom,
and the key word of the kingdom In
righteousness. absolutely perfect ac-
cording to the interpretation of the .
commandments here given by our.
Lord, from which we learn that a sin-
ful took breaks a command as much
as nil act, and from Jas. ii, 10, we
learn that "whosoever shall keep the
whole law Lind yet offend in one point
is guilty of nil." It crust be en Inward
rig eleonsness of the heart, not like
that of the Pharisees, of whom our
Lord said that. although they appeared
righteous outwardly to men, they were
within full of hypocrisy and iniquity,
outwardly whited sepulchers, Inward-
ly all uncleanness (Matt. xxiii, '25-28).
In our lesson Fie says that In no ease
cam such righteousness enter the king-
dom (verse 20t, and in Isa. Ixiv, 6, we
fire told that all ear righteousnesses
are as filthy rags. Concerning the
Rind that God requires we are told,
"There is none righteous -no not one,"
and when we are brought face to face
with the law every mouth is stopped
and all the world guilty before God
(Rom. 111. 10, 191. Men have many
standards. God has but one, called
"the righteousness of God" (Rom. 111,
5. 22; 3, 3; 11 Cur v, 21). in verse 17
or our lesson He said that He came to
fulfill the law and the prophets, and
to John the Baptist 13e said, "It be -
cometh us to fulfill. all righteousness"
(iii, 15,. '!'here was neither tiaw nor
failure lu Ells righteousness He could
truthfully say, "1 do always those
things that please the (rather," and
the Gather testified concerning Him,
"This is tity beloved Son. in whom 1
am well pleased' (John viii, '29; Matt.
IR, 17; xvii, 5). Be wns the Lamb with-
out blemish and without spot. He did

harmless. undefiled and separate from .
sinners (I Pet. 1. 19; ii. 22; II Cor. v.
'21: Heb. vit. 201. Elis was righteous-
ness indeed, and nothing short of His
perfect righteousness can enable any
one to appear before God acceptably.
The case ou our side is therefore utter-
ly hopeless as far as any efforts of
ours are concerned. for "by the deeds
of the law there shall no flesh be justi-
fied in Ills sight" (Rom, tit. 20). The
very hest that the very best man can
do comes far short or His perfect
righteousness. \Vhat a gloomy out-
look it world be if IIe had not devis-
ed means whereby we need not be
driven away from Him 111 Sam. xiv,
141. Not only did the Son of God give
in His life a sample of the perfect
righteousness which God requires; but,
having no sin of His own. IIe bare our
sins In His own body on the tree.
There was laid on Ilim the iniquity of
us all. He was made a sin offering
for us. and when we plead guilty and
receive Him we become accepted 10
Him and He is accepted for us, as'it
Is written in the law concerning the
guilty man and bis perfect offering,
"It shall be accepted for blm" (Lel'. 1,
4). The priest had no need to examine
the man -be pleaded guilty -but he
did examine the sacrifice, and if it
was without blemish, according to the
law, the guilty man identifying him-
self with his perfect sacrifice by laying
bis hand upon it was accepted because
of his sacrifice. and the blood was
shed, the itfe laid down, for it' 1s the
blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul (Lev. xvii, 11; Heb. ix, 22).
What a wonderful redemption it is,
and wholly of the 'Lord. He took my
place as a guilty one and suffered in
my stead, making an end of my sins,
that 1 might take His place before
God, clothed with His righteousness.
How wonderfully beautifully are such
words as "justified freely by His
grace;' "made unto us wisdom, right-
eousness,
ighteousness, sanctification, redemption;'
"In whom we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins."
Yet there are multitudes in so called
Christian lands, churchgoers and
church members. who, being Ignorant
of God's righteousness and going about
to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves to the
righteousness of Cod, not understand
fag that Christ is the end of the hi
for righteousness to every one that
bebleveth (Rom. r, 3, 4; Ili. 24; I Cur 1,
30; 11 Cor. v, 21; Epb. 1, 0. 7.. If our
