TFIE LA.s'! GENERAL BOOTH.
The late Rev. William Booth, D. C.
L., General and Commander-in-chief
of the Salvation army, and director
of its social institutions for destitute,
vicious and criminal classes, was for-
merly a minister of the New ('on-
• vection Church. He was born at Not.
tingbom en April 10, 1829. In 188
I •-�
he married Catherine Mumford, who
died in 1890. The late Salvationist
.leader received his education at Not-
tingham, by a private tutor of the
Methodist New Connection Church,
London, being converted at the age
I of 15 to that belief. Immediately af-
ter his conversion he began to preach
in the open air at Nottingham. In
1852 he entered the ministry and af-
ter being a travelling evangelist for
some time, he was required to settle
to the ordinary circuit work of the
church. To this he submitted for some
I years, but eventually, in 1861, he re-
` signed his charge to give himself to
evangilistie work.
While travelling through the ccun-
try he came to London and was struck
by the destitute condition of the' east-
ern portion of the population, and
commenced on the 5th of July, 1865,
special efforts on their behalf. This
effort was at first styled the Christian
Mission, but developed in 1878 into the
Salvation Army, which has grown until
it has corps, circles and societies in 54
countries and colonies, with over 20,-
000 officers and emloyees. In cennec-
with this he has organized a great
system for the benefit of the submerged,
starving, vicious add criminal classes,
which now has about 900 social insti-
tutions. Over 6,000,000 beds and 10,-
000,000 meals have been supplied dur-
ing twelve months.
He was the author of "Orders and
Regulations for Officers and Soldiers,"
"Letters to My Soldier," "Religion
for Every Day," "Salvation Soldiery
Visions," "In Darkest England and the
Way out" (propounding Gen. Booth's
scheme for the abolition of the pau-
per and dangerous glasses of England)
and numerous other books and pamph-
lets. He also edited the following
publications: ',War Cry, Young Soldier,
Social Gazette and Bandsman and
Songster. with a joint weekly circulat-
ion of nearly a million copies in 21
languages; monthlies with a circulation
of 140,000; musical monthlies for use of
arm's musicians. All the profits of
publications go to support the Army's
various operations. He took no recrea-
tion unless he be said to find recreation
travelling, although he worked as hard
on sea 'as he did on land. He has five
times visited United States and Canada,
three times Australasia and South
Africa, twice India, once Japan and
several times almost every country in
Europe.
Statistics compiled from Government
reports show that in comparison to.
population Alberta has more automo-
biles than any other Province in the
Dominion of Canada, there being 3,0C4
ears or one to every 124 persons esti-
mating the population at 374,663.
Manitoba is second, having one car to
every 152 persons of its population of
445,614, while British Columbia bas
third place, reporting one auto for
every 165 persons of a population of
392,480.
Saskatchewan is fourth. It has 2,537
cars, or one for each 194 persons of its
population of 492,432. Ontario has the
largest number of cars, reporting 7,338,
or one for each 344 of a population of
2,523,208. Nova Scotia has the small-
est number of .automobiles, there being
one to each 852 of its population, which
is placed at 492,338. New Brunswick
with a population of 351,889 has 594
autos, while the province of Quebec,
with 2,002,711 population, reports 801
cars.
Prince Edwaed Island is the only pro-
vince in the Dominion which prohibits
the use of motor vehicles on its high-
ways and in public places. The penalty
for violating this law, which was
thought to be necessary to public in-
terest and for the safety of the travel-
ling public, is a fine of $500 or six
months in jail.
It is estimated that fully 25 per cent.
of the automobiles exported by manu-
facturers in the United States are
shipped to Canada. Thirty-two hun-
dred and seven machines were bought
in the States in 1911, and it is expected
that more than 5,000 will come in this
year. The average value of Gars ship•
ped into the Dominion by American
manufacturers was $1,887. English
manufacturers sbipped 240 ears, of an
average value of $1,309, to Canada last
yea. The fore -going figures do not in-
clude tires and accessories. Canadian
manufacturers and American builders
assembling cars in Canada also report
increases in business, saying they have
no difficulty in disposing of any vehicle
that comes up to the mark,
ABOLISHING HELL.
When the "International Bible Assoc-
iation," in convention assembled in the
city of Washington. solemnly asserted
that there was nesuch a place as hell
and called upon the ministers of Christian
churches throughout the countr3 to unite
with them in destroying the "myth" that
there was, there were a number of people
apparently, who worked themselves up
into quite a state of excitement. But
though the incident got wide publicity
through the daily press, we are glad to
say that the majority of the religious
papers refused to bite at the apparently
tempting morsel. For one reason some
religious editors were aware of the fact
that the aforesaid nice -sounding assoc-
iation 'was none other the followers of
Pastor Russell, of Millenial Dawn fame
whose headquarters are are said to be
in Brooklyn and London who takes a trip
around the world occasionally enlighten-
ing us all, whose sermons appear in our
daily papers at so much per, and whose
pet aversion is any kind of doctrine of
the punishment of sin. Knowing what
the "International BibleStudents Assoc-
iation" stood for made its pronounce-
ment on this burning question hardly
seem important enough to be discussed.
This is our answer to our correspondent
who thougbt we should have got excited
'over the incident. - Guardian.

WOMEN PARLIAMENTARIANS
IN FINLAND.
While women in Great Britain are
taking militant means to secure woman
suffrage, by methods akin to the work
of the Apaches of Paris, their sisters
in Finland have secured equality in vot-
ing rights by actively working along
more sober, but evidently more fruitful
lines. Finland, renowned for its op-
presions by Russia, and thought by
many, if thought of at all, as a barbar-
ic country, bound in by everlasting ice,
led the way in granting emancipation
to women, this being done in 1946,
when they were first admitted to the
Finnish Diet. So seriously did they
regard their new-found rights that the
following year sixty of them went to
the poll. Only Norway has as yet fol-
lowed Finland's example, though Cali-
fornia and other states in the neigh-
boring republic have given many privi-
leges to the gentler sex.
The wotnen members of the Finnish.
parliament have not been inactive since
they secured their seats. Up till the
beginning of last year, they brought
in twenty-nine bills, of which the fol-
lowing were passed: -
1. The establishment of laws for
child protection againstill{treatment.
2 The complete freeing of the wife
from the legal guardianship of her hus-
band.
3. The raising of the marriage age
from 15 to 18 years.
4. The organization of colonies for
youthful criminals.
5. The right of women to assist in
the department of publie medicine.
6. The abolition of poliee observa-
tion over prostitutes.
Among others which they now have
on the order paper, awaiting for the
decision of the majority, are the follow-
ing bills: ---
To separate the highest roust of law
from the Senate, making it an indepen-
dent institution.
To give Jews equal rights with Chris-
tians.
For universal adult suffrage.
To regulate the relations between
workers, servants and employers.
To increase the punishment for
treatment of animals.
To grant free meals to school child-
ren.

widwi ves.
For giving a wife the right to dispose
of her children (formerly the husband
had this right exclusively.)
For the appointment of domestic
economy schools.
For the appointment of women as
factory inspectors.
For enabling women to serve in pub -
lie institutions on equal terms with
men.
The women deputies have served on
all committees, even on the grand com-
mittee, which is elected by the House
proportionately, and gives its decisions
on the most important question of leg-
islation and taxation,
That they have taken an active and
intelligent interest in the affairs of the
country cannot be denied, but their
efforts have chiefly been toward the
amelioration of the ills under which
women, children and animals suffer.
DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.
Retiring from one's work is one of
the most serious steps that a man can
take. Especially is this true of the
farmer, Usually it means moving to
town. Life in town is entirely adiffer-
ent from life on the farm. One ac-
customed to farm life can hardly adapt
himself or herself to town life at that
period of life. This results in being
out of touch with one's environment,
in the 'absence of activities to keep one
occupied. From being an important
factor in the farm community one often
becomes a negligible one in towns or
even worse -a knocker.
Why move to town? The reasons
given for moving to town are many --
educating the children, modern conven-
iences in the home, Iess work, etc., etc.
The schools in towns are as a rule bet-
ter than those in the country, but the
reasons they are better is that the
town people tax themselves so as to
have the money necessary to maintain
a good school. By consolidating the
schools and putting up the school tax
as high in the eountry' as in the city
just as good schools can be provided in
the country as in the town.
The modern conveniences can be had
in the country now as well as in the
town and usually at a less cost. Less
work in town -less work of some kinds
- but after all no one can be happy and
healthy unless the mind is occupied.
The one who is used to active, muscu-
lar work for a good many years will
not remain healthy without some exer-
cise.
A good way for a farmer to retire is
to select a lot of five to fifteen acres on
the old farm and build on it the modern
house, a small barn, also with modern
eonveniences, and a poultry house.
Here one can live the life one is used
to in the way that has become second
nature ' to one. Here there will be
something to hold one's attention and
to supply some work to take the place
of the aecustomed activity. The school
problem can be solved by consolidating
the schools. In this way as good
schools can be had in the rural district
as in town. In fact it will be a better
school as it will be in closer touch and
harmony with the farm and farm life.
In most cases it is a sad mistake for
the farmer to retire to town, and es-
pecially so when the things that he
moves to town for can be had on the
farm and with all the advantages of
this country in the bargain.

of the greatest of all questions. We

pie: In Ise. tzill. 1, in connection with
Ilis coming iv judgment; in Luke v,
21, to connection with Ills forgiving
sins, and In Luke vel, 49, also; in
Matt. xxi, 10, as He entered Jerusalem
on the ass' colt. Blessed indeed are
all who know Elim, not only as Israel's
Messtuh and the great head of the
church and the Ding of kings and
Lord of lords, but as their own per-
sonal Saviour, who became surety for
theta, bore their sins in His own body
and has assured them of the forgive-
ness of their sins. Apart from this

who loved me and gave Himself for
me (Gal. 11, 20), all else Is as nothing
The record goes on to tell us why
Herod had Mete John. Fie had taken
Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, to
be his wife, and John bad told him
ttat it was not lawful to do this.
Therefore Herodias had an inward
grudge against J2hn and world have
killed him if she could (verse 19, mar.
gins. But Herod, knowing John to be
n just and holy man, heard him glad.
ly and did ninny things and kept and
saved him (verse 20, margin). Thus
things went on, Elerod knowing and
admiring the right. yet doing the
wroug, and Herodias a sort of Jezebel
t0 help him in the wrong, and the
devil controlling all, What 'e picture
of real life It is. for the devil is still
the god of this world, and the world
ileth In the wicked ane!
Now we have an account of one of
the devil's supreme occasions-Her-
od's birthday and a supper for hie
lords, high captains and eblef estates
of Galilee. It mnst have been a great
gathering of the notable people of the
land, to which multitudes would con•
aider it an honor to be invited -a kind
of Belshazzar's feast on a smaller
stale, but with the same spirit of•lm-
piety end disregard of God. Oh, how
much there is of it today and even
among ,those who are called Chris-
tlans! But the world is ever the slime,
whether the ungodly or the rellglous
world. and "all that Is In the *Odd,
the lust of the flesh and the lust of
the eyes and the pride of life, Is. not
of the Father, but is off the world."
"The friendship of the wOrld Is enmity
with God" (1 John it, 15-17; Jae. iv, 4).
There would no doubt be royal wine
In abundance, according to the state
of the king, and the eating and drink-
ing would be according to every man's
pleasure •(Est. 1, 7, '8). • There Vail
some special dancing also, and the
daughter of Herodias danced so well
that the king sald unto her 'with aq
