A is BY REV, BYRON H, STAkUFFER Pastor Bond Street Congregational Church, Toro FAILURE AT FIRST; SUCCESS AT LAST "The atone which the builders re- fused Is become the head store of the korner, This Is the Lord's doing; it Is marvellous In our eyes." --Ps. 118: 22, 23, The world's builders are always doing that. They throw aside th, very best corner -stone, and put in negative piece of insignificance in- stead. But while their. backs ar'. turned, 'he great Master -Builder come: and puts in 'the stone really designei for the place, and by that time tin builders' places are taken by more proficient masons, and posterity ex claims: "This is the Lord's doing; 1 is marvellous in our eyes." That is the way history is written That is why biography has such charm. This text springs up at leas four times in Scripture, and it ha stared humanity in the face a thou sand times since the last chapter o: Revelation was written. You cannot keep it down, for it expresses a gree truth of biography, a mighty fact li history and the very key -note of th. gospel record. It makes the ar-nal' of the children of men read like s Cinderella fairy tale. !low we lout to read of King Alfred in hiding scolded for letting cakes burn black and coming out from his retreat tc !reconquer a kingdom. How thrilling to read of Romulus and Remus, cast into the Tiber, thrust upon the shore, suckled by a wolf—to build the eter• nal city of Rome! That woman escap ing through the storm, dressed like a ',spectre, leading a little boy, also in (snow-white garb, is Matilda of Anjou. But the laddie, now fleeing from the 'kingdom with his queenly mother, will come back soon in royalty's pomp to be King Henry II. of England. We like to read of the rejected be- coming the accepted. We like to think of the young fellow in fanny waist- coat, shouted and stamped down when attempting to deliver his maiden speech in Parliament, crying out, "I'll sit down now, but the time will come when you must hear me!" That gives a piquancy to the career of the great Beaconsfield. And that is what gives the life of Christ such a charm. "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." They didn't know that the Son of God was visiting them. But it is not long until we read: "Wherefore God also hath highly ,exalted Him, and given Him a name :which is above every name." This rejecting of its great the world does in various ways. Sometimes the corner -stone is simply ignored. We iare apt not to recognize greatness ;when we meet it. It must have slroulderstraps and brass buttons. It ;must have the badge of office. Some- body must introduce it to us. .'Esop knew the truth of this text twenty- five hundred years ago when he told of the famous clown who imitated the squealing of a little pig so sue. cessfully that his audience demanded that he produce the pig from beneath his blouse. The clown unbuttoned, showed the jacket to be empty, and received an ovation. A countryman arose and announced . that at the next performance 1 e would make the imita- tion even more perfectly than the professional clown had done. The people gathered, and the popular favorite gave his imitation, which the people received with great acclaim. Then the countryman, making as though he had a pig hidden under his coat (which he really had) mount- ed the stage. He hid his mouth with his one hand and pinched the unseen pig with the other, until it gave a vigorous squeal. The audience im- patiently declared the farmer greatly outdone, ordered him off, and called for the clown. The countryman walked to the edge of the stage, held up the little porker and showed the critics their awful blunder. A young broker in Syracuse, N.Y., wrote a book of Yankee humor. He sent the manuscript to a New York publisher, who primptly returned it. A second and a third attempt ended similarly, and then the broker sicken- ed with consumption. A friend took the story to nine more book -houses,. but not one desired to purchase It ever so cheaply. ',But the thirteenth firm saw its merit, bought it and sent a cheque to Edward Noyes Westcott's address the week after his funeral. But the book, "David Harum," made its author famous, even after his death for it was the story of the year, and they sold nearly a million copies! And when Lmbassador Andrew D. White read the story, and found out 'who its author was, and discovered that he had done business with him in Syracuse almost daily, he ex- claimed: "I wish I had known him; I often heard that he was a humorist, but I never supposed he vias really clever." A poor girl came to New York from the West to secure a place on the stage, She was a good girl and be. lieved in herself. She and her mother took a flat and paid the rent two months in advance with their last few dollars, hoping that by the .time it was once more due, the daughter might have a permanent situation. But only cheap, questionable concert hall places were offered her, She re• fused all these, and tried to convince the. ntanagers that she had dramatic ability. Finally, after several had told her that her playing was not what the people wanted, she went tc see Augustin Daly. That discerner of "stare" saw at once that she had merit. He gave her a difficult and ;car -coupler. 'Well, 'a Tluffalo mar: worked over that problem for years 'and finally contrived a plait which he had patented. He showed it to some railroad magnates, but they thought it wouldn't do at all,. As a last re- sort, he todk it to Cornelius Vander- bilt, He liked it and tried it on seine cars. Then he sent fcr the inventor, whose name was Charlie Gould, made a proposition, to4.k him into a com- pany, whiclt they called the Gould Coupler Company, and they started to make the car -couplers fcr the whole world. The great man is often so unique that the mediocre people who do the judging reject them because they are so different from the average run of Parker, That is why Joseph Pa t , ;in his youth, was refused a license ito preach by the little Wesleyan chapel in which he preached a few characteristic sermons, and that is why the good Scotch woman, who had. 'been sitting under a pastor who tallied through his nose, said when she heard Dr. Parker: "He canna' be a great preacher. He doesnal whinny at a'!" But the corner -stone, Jesus Christ, was rejected by the world's antagon- ism. That which will finally be really great comes at first as an intrusion. The ignorant world doesn't like to have anything disturb its mechanical 'arrangements. Society does not like 'to be told to "Move forward, please," any more than do folks in a street car: Angry mobs meet reforms with • clubs and stones. Fulton's steam - 'boat and Stephenson's locomotive aroused the jeers of the world's ignorance. The very people who will be benefited by a reform are apt to join the raging mob against its pro- moters. Oh, foolish Northampton, to reject Jonathan Edwards! Oh, foolish Geneva, to drive out John Calvin! Oh, foolish Mecca, to refuse Mahomet! Oh, foolish Nazareth, to thrust out Jesus! Oh, foolish Jerusalem, to crucify the Lord! For He is to be the head of the corner at last! Wheu? Soon, very soon. To -day? No. To. Morrow? Yes, and a very long to- morrow, a to -morrow that will never encs, for the building in which He is. to be the corner -stone is the House not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The rejected is the accepted of to day. Right around the corner yonder on Bond Street, is an old house with a wee monument, in the form of a block of stone, built in the brick wall. 'rhe inscription reads, "Presented to William Lyon Mackenzie by his friends." Why did they need to give nim a house? Because he wa-S poor. t1.nd why was he poor? Because he Was working for you and me, and we had not yet arrived on the scene when he needed his pay. What was he Working at? Making Canada worth living in! This man- stood up! He was ex- pelled from the legislati,ve assembly for standing up. He rias re-elected by his constituents, and forty sleigh - feeds of them came down Yonge Street with him to see that he got his seat. Of all the processions that have moved -down Toronto's chief thoroughfare, that train of sleighs war the greatest. Expelled twice, elected thrice; expelled thrice, elected four times; expelled four times, elected rive times. Expelled again; elected Mayor of,. Toronto. That was the record of three years. Meanwhile no fiscal reports, eo religious equality, ho constitutional government, no at tention paid to petitions. The yoke became grievous. Tyrany makes re dormers. Long -continued oppression Makes fanatics. Harper's Ferry was the natural outcome of Southern in- solence; Navy Island was the normal fruitage of the Family Compact. That the Canadian rebellion in its narrower scope failed was likely providential That it succeeded in a larger sense is la matter of history. The lonely little Cannon at Niagara echoed to Windsor pestle, and the young Queen anxiously inquired about the welfare of her Canadian subjects. Insolent gover- ihors were recalled; their successors Were given new instructions. Petitions were heeded. Constitutional govern. tnent was granted. Murmurings gave way to contentment, and the doctrines bf the rebels of 1837 are the doctrines retheloyalists of 1910. The rejected comes the accepted. . f'Ever the truth comes uppermost, And ever justice is done, For humanity sweeps . onward; Where to -day the martyr stands, On the morrow crouches Judas, With the silver in his hands. !'Far in front the cross stands ready, And the crackling fagots burn, While the hooting niob of yesterday In silent awe return To glean up the scattered ashes In history's golden urn."

But yet, at the same time, laws are carried out and tegulatione imposed by the Inland Revenue De- partment which enter vitally into the common, every -day life of Canadian citizens. For example, the purity of food MAIM, of butter, bt ead, baking powder, maple syrup and a thousand other every -day commodities, is the constant care of the Inland Revenue Department. leading part, and the haughty actres- see who wondered why they were not assigned the plaeo said: "How data gerous!

And when she rendered her part so clever- ly and emotionally that the crowded house fairly went wild and Balled for her with vociferous applause, even Mr. Daly supposed that another per- former, an erstwhile star, wan wanted, and the audience had to correct the misapprehension by rising as one reran, and shouting, "Clara Morrill Ciara Morris!" Then, some are rejected by the iworld's poor judgment. 1 wonder how Minya Via stay attarieeljgdnve Reeve Wm, R. Elliott cf Stephen, escaped a serious accident on the Main Street crossing of the G. T.

He does not eeek the:glare of publicity, but at the same time is not only carrying out quietly regulations laid down, but he is also -engaged in perfecting the eys- tem of preserving the purity of the food of the people. Of Frenoh•Cana• dian stock, Mr. Nantel has always oc- cupied a high and trusted position in a town o! St. Jerome, in the province of Quebec, where he was born nearly fifty-seven years ago. Possessing the coneervatisrn which is the distinguish- ing characteristic of a French•Caua- dian, he preferred to remain in the village in which he was born rather than to seek the life of the city, with its teeming opportunities. The results of bis career have justified bis early decision. He has had the satisfaction of seeing the village grow into a large and populous center and of knowledge that the progress of the town of Sc. Jerome is in no small measure due to his own energy. He began to take an interest in the municipal politics of S. Jerome as far back as 1894, and for six years previous to bepomiug Minis- ter of Inland Revenue was mayor of the town. He thus secured the confi- dence of the people of St. Jerome, which was a good beginning in obtain- ing a share of the trust of the people of his province and of the country. He represents in the D,iminion Bou:e the county of Terrebonne, to which he was first elected in the year 1908. He was sworn of the Privy Council and appointed Minister of Inland Revenue in Mr. Borden's Cabinet in 1911, and was re-elected by acclama- tion after assuming office. OPPOSED RECIPROCITY. In the general election of 1911 the Hon. Mr. Nantel secured prominence by the manner in which he fought in his native county in opposing the Laurier candidate. He took a decided stand upon the reciprocity question, and; having a thorough knowledge of the conditions and the interests of the French-Canadian farmers, was able to discuss clearly how the passing of the Fielding and Paterson proposals Would have affested the agricultural conditions of the people of the pro- vince of Quebec. His sty 13 of oratory had a good effect upon the farmere. Mr. Nantel speaks in the language of the people. He addresses them as a man of business and as one who ap- preciates the difficulties and the labours of the farmers who are com pelled to eeek a living from the soil in the outlying portions of -the province In the province of Quebec political op- ponents meet in what is known as an "Assemblee Contradictoire," or a meeting in which both opponents make speeches each in his turn reply- ing to the other. Mr. Nantel was singularly effective in his meetings with his rivals, and when the Borden forces were returned to power he was chosen as a good representative of the people of Quebec. G00D LEGISLATION. That the confidence reposed in him in 191I has not been misplaced is shown by the amount of good legisla- tion to the credit of the Minister of In- land Revenue since he carne into power, During the present session he introduced two measures of import- ance, one dealing with the "Dominion Adulteration Act" and the other with the "Weights and Measures Act."

A Six Month's Hoist. During April and May a great many poor cows have been milked, giving iu some cases, only (300 pounds of milk and 17 pounds of fat in the tnonth ; some have contented them. selves with pro.iucing, even less than thir. One wonders if the owners of such cows are contented with records like that, and if the owners of the various factories concerned are content to let their plants be run with such poor support. It is a common ocoutrence to find groups of 50 and 100 cows at a factory giving on the average 300 pounds Of milk more than similar groups supply - in the same factory, y' Supposing a factory Is supported by only 200 Cows it should thus be com- paratively easy to have an extra three thousand six hundred dollars flowing through it in six months to the patrons if they bad better Iowa.

Three grade cows at Cornwall, Ont., averaged 40 pounds of fat, and a five year old grade at Peterboro, Ont., gave 1,000 pounds of milk and 02 pounds of fat. This cow gave more than four times as much fat as man; poor cows in the month, China's Millions. Any figures for the population of China must necessarily be more or less unreliable, inasmuch as the census ratan is not much in evidence in the land of the Celestials. The estimate, which is probably somewhere nedr correct, is 402,700,000. As to whether the mil- lions of China will ever become thor- oughly modernized in the sense that the Japanese are remains to be seen.
