More than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices - The scribe gathers up in his reply some 01 the great utterances of the pro- phets which prove tite superiority. of . love to (led and man over all mere cereufonial observances (1 Sam. 16; 22; Pea 51; Hoe. 6;6; Micah 6;6-8).

There Is no re- cord that he evet. entered the king- dom. No man after that durst ask him -Our Lord had shown Himself easily superior to all His opposers, and, since they had been 'worsted in every effort to entrap Him, they re- frained from farther similar attacks. II. Our Lord's question (vs. 35-37). Those who had asked Jesus questions had been confused and amazed at his replies, and Jesus himself became the questioner. By the question, "How say the -scribes that Christ is the on of David?" Jesus undertook to draw forth from the Pharisees an expres- sion of their belief concerning the Messiah, giving them still an oppor- tunity of accepting; hirriself as the Christ. . Jesus quoted froin Psa. 110, vilich has constantly been ackilowl- edged to me a :Messianic psalm, and declared that David wrote it under divine ieepiration. The, cetclusion was clearly reached that as man, Icsue, was a descendant of David, but as divine, he wee David's Lord. The ematnott people were far from being prdudiced against Jesus, for they "heard him gladly." liT. Warning againet ineineerity fva. 8-40.)

PRACTICAL SURVIela Topic. -The Approach to Truth. I, According to principle. 11. Accordiug to doctrine. H. According to praetice. I, Accoreing to principle. The re - Mated questions which Jesus bad tri- umphantly anewered to the confusion and shame of his adversaries coneern- ing his authority, conceroing political obligations and concerning doetrine led to another question concerning the commandments, in which the Jews made many distinctions. ,Ageprding to their estimate therefore some com- mandment must be the greatest. Jesus met thie eraestion by; weighty words from the law withoat estimating the comparative importance of the com- mandments, Tie simplified the State- ment pf moral duty into e, single prin. eiple, and that, principle itself was expressedin the word "love." Ho stated upen the highest authority what Cod 'requires of man and what man owes to. God and his fellow men. He gave a sublime view of the great pur- 'Poses of man's- spiritual being. It etood as a summons to a spiritual, a self-denying and benevolent life. It was a becoming inquiry on the part of the scribe and worthy of the con- sideration and judgment .01 the .Mas- ter. Jesus never trifled with the per- plexities of men. • This question. evi- denced a desire to do what was right and to gli e precedence to what should be acknowledged best. Love is rem-, sented as the sum eif the el;ine, cone- mandtuents and implies, personal' knowledge. The personality of God Is here assumed, his unity asserted,, his claims implied and the relationship between God. and man is assumed. Love embraces all virtues, fulfils all righteousness. All that is good in morals, pure in nspiration, beneficent in action flows,.from the fountain of love. IL According to doctrine. There was a vigor and directness, an unsparing boldness and a fidelity in Christ'S ministry at Jerusalem during the last week of His life. This enraged His enemies, though it .silenced their rea- sonings. All their' efforts from what- ever quarter and howeeer conducted proved vain. Christ's wisdom was per- fect, His authority irresistible. In the discourse of .Test's (vs. 35-40) He pro- tested against the general teaching and character of His adversaries. He censared their loud profeesicin of -sanctity, and their ostentatious devo- tions. The bereaved and defenseless were their victims. Jesus designed to instruct them with respect to His true character and person: They had no spiritual appeetension et -their long desired MessiahJesus transmuted ihe Partial truth of the scribes into a doc- trine full of spiritual significance and dignity. He showed .the peeembi- ence• assigned to the Messiah above His illustrious ancestor David,. He gave the highest interpretation to the Old Testament propheciee. of the Christ. He was David's Lord by virtue of His divine Sonehip. He was not onlY royal, but divine. If the Pharisees had ventured a reply, they Must have ad- knowiedged Christ' t claim as the Son of God. Their ignoranceof the pao- Phecies was one source of their capti- ousness. 111.

Creelman, a commander of the 21st Battery, of eloatreal. An iron rail had been placed across the track, but the engine of the special fortun- ately swept the obstruction into the ditch. The train was travelling at about 40 miles an hour at this parti- cular point. Very few troops arrived at the carnp this morning, but two or three thou- sand more will be here within a day or two, making the camp strength ap- proximately 30,000. The coming of the artillery has caused fresh activity in the damp, and the heavy work of mobilization is now practically over. Col, Sam Hughes remained in his special car over night, and was out on the training grounds early this morning, watching the company and battalion drill of several thousand soldiers, He also visited tee rifle rang- es, where two battalions were being drilled in skirmishing and shooting. The arrival' of artillery has made more work for the two field hospitals, riders being kicked and stepped on by horses, but there were no serious ace eidents reported. Many troops are still wearing civil - Ian's clothes, the service uniforms hav- ing not all been distributed. However, the ordnance department bas been do- ing splendid *work, considering the heavy strain, and most of the out- -nes will be given out within a very short time. This was another dark day in camp, black clouds hanging over the Lauren- tians. FREE FOR TRADE British Vessels Are Clearing Daily From San Francisco. San Francisco, Aug. 31. -That op- erations of British vessels to and from this port have not been seriously af- fected by the war is shown by the fact that four British steamers have peps - ed the Golden Gate within the past two days, and that the Harrison Line will resume °pentacles next Wednes- day.

Professor Thomas Shaw says another way is to defer sowing the seecis to the early spring, and then to sow such ciov- ers and grasses as flourish in the local- ity and over thef with a harrow. 'Un- der proper eonditions the harrowing will help the rye. There may be sons on which the early grazing of the rye would ity and cover them with a. harrow. Un - miler soils, however, such grazing will be • helpful to them, rather than harm- ful. Where this method succeeas it en- ables the farmer to get pasture quickly when this may be necessary. When rye is sown, in the antuum for Pasture, it Is usually sown after some other crop has been grown for, the sea - ion eiany yie of tame land. Thus, it may come ft the other cereale. When grazed flown in the spring there Is still Stine to follow it with other crops. These include field roots, rape, miliet and cow - peas. Excellent crops of these are fre- quently grown after rye pasture. All Itinas of quadrupeds, including pout - try, kept- on the farm may be grazed on ryo, Its highest use probably Is found in grazing ewes in the early spring that are nursing their lambs, or in grazing Weaned lambs In the autumn in the ab- sence of better grazing. thlder some con- ditions it is a great aid in furnishing pas- ture to swine.

CROP Otifillic FOR CANADA Recent Repdrt Shows a Drop in ; Western Prospects.- 4 Following Great Heat and Drought in the West. The usual monthly bulletin of the Census and Statistics Office on field crops in Canada was recently issued. The reports made by correspondents on July 31st show that the condition of grain crepe has undergone a mark- ed change eince the last reports for June 30th, due to excessive heat and continuous drought during the month of July, especially in the Northwest Provinces, where the bulk of the grain crops is produced. Measured by a standard of 100 re-. presenting the promise of a full crop, the average condition for the whole of Canada is returned for fall wheat as 71.5, compared with 78 on June 30 and' 77.7 On July 31, 1913, for spring wheat at 77.4 against 86.3 last month and 87.6 a year ago, for oats as 77.9 against 87.3 last month and 87.3 last month and 87.4 in 1913, for barley as 77.4 against 86.2 last month and 87.5 Islet Year and for rye as 78.5 against 84.7 and 85. In the Maritime Provences con- ditions show excellent, and in Quebec and Ontario, though drought is report- ed as having shortened the straw, the grain was said to be filling well and the figures of condition, which for most of the grain crops exceed or ap- proach 90, are not greatly driferent from those of a month ago. For spring' wheat in fh Manitoba e conditions is 68.2, against 82.4 a month ago, for oats it is 62 against 87.6, for barley 62 against 82.4 a month ago, for oats it is 62 against 87.6, for barley 62 against 79.8 and for rye 68.5 against 100. In Saskatehewan the figures are on July 31 for spring wheat 66 against 90 on June SO, for oats 57.8 against 88.9, for barley 59.6 against 89.4 and for rye 74.4 against 92. In Alberta, thq condi- tion is represented by 63 for fill wheat against 73 last month, 75.4 for 13ritish Columbia, amounting to 973,- 300 acres, the estimated total yield is 20,394,000 bushels as compared with 22,592,000 bushels, the final estimate of 1913.

The esti- mated total yield is 9,206,000 tons as spring wheat against 84.3, 71.5 for oats against 85, 71.5 for barley against 85.0 and 77 for rye against 83.7. In some cases western correspondents state that there was 'still time for rains tp effect an improvement before har- vest. whish would begin about the end of the first week in August, Crops after summer fellows are dIstinctly superior to those prepared by fall or spring plowing. Converting the figures of the standard eondition at July 3/. into those of a -scale wherein 100 re- presents the average condition at July 31 for the six years, 1908 to 1913 the condition for fall wheat is 90, for snring witeat 93, for oats 39, for bar- ley ee and for rye 94. That is to say the yield pee acre this year is ex- pected to be for fall wheat 10, for spring wheat 7, for oats 11, for berley 8 and for rtre 6 P.C. below the, six-year average. Potatoes lo the Maritime Provieces give an excellent promise, 'with fig- ures of conditioa ranging trent 93 to 96.

It was found that the grain ration costs 51.05 to prodtto 100 ponds of Milk, and when silage was sub- stituted in that same ration for line., half of the grain it reduced the cost to 60 emits per 100 pounds, a difference of 37 cents.
