The Brussels Post, 1890-12-12, Page 6e. ORESTRY. To pilo gattor otTrts von,. Sir,—.•As your paper has frequent. ly done me the service of inserting letters on forestry perhaps yon will allow nie to lay these hoes before your readers. The country is feet awakening to a sense of the fact that we must pre- serve and plant more forest in On- tario than we have been in the habit of doing or else we shall injure the fertility of our country, ae other lands have done. In a number of ourueys through part of Ontario this spring I found that gratifying progress was beiog made, many trees were being planted and portions of woodland preserved. I have not been able to this •summer through illness to complete tilts tour and would be glad if any farmers or others in any neighborhood who take au interest in the matter would send me a letter answering any or all of the following questions :— (1) Whether and to what extent lines of trees for windbreaks or or. Lenient are being planted, and bow those planted are thriving ? (2) Whether plantations of young trees have been set out and how they succeed ? (8) Whether cattle are fenced out of any portions of forest in your neighborhood, and how it answers ? (4) Any difference in climate, rainfall, drifting of snow, and so forth, you may have observed since the clewing of the country ? (5) Vahatihessuro, if any, - would be likely to improve the existing state of affairs ? The Forestry Repgrt, from which these questions are asked, will be sent free to all whp,'repJy. R. W. PHIPPS, 251i Richmond street west. Toronto, Nov. 25. Nen. Booth's Scheme of Reform. Already Gen. Booth has secured sixty thousand ,pounds towards his scheme for relieving the •Wants of London. Among the subscribers are the Prince of Wales, the Em• peror of Germany, Archbishop Far- rar, Cardinal 9iainntng and scores of the most eminent men in Eng. land, And there is now little or no doubt but the one million pounds, which he considers necessary for the full development of his scheme, will in due time t'e forthcoming. Probably the world has never seen a grander illustration of practical union among Christians of all de- nominations than is furnished in this wonderful effort to rescue the perishing and raise the fallen. Catholice and Protestants, high church and low church, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congrega- tionalists are all co-operating in the good work. It is interesting to ob• serve that Gen. Booth's great ex- perience bas led htm to precieely the same conclusions as other social reformers as to the chief cause of Poverty and mime. It is the old story—Drink, Drink. He sari, "Niue -tenths of our poverty, squal- or, vice and crime spring feom this poisonous tap root. I1any of out social evils, which overshadow the land like so many upas trees, would dwindle away and die If they were not constantly watered with strong drink. There is universal agree, went on that point ; in fact, the agreement as to the evils of intern peranee.is ahnoet as universal ag the conviction that politicians will do ix:thing practical to iuterfere with them." The remedy iropcsc:d for the ale. vntic.n ,.f tet r lap ,1 mass' is first cf a.i the lamer of the (.Gospel 10 changing the heart. The proposed ne hod is bii.fly thrasfold : (1) the CO Colony ; ('f) the Farm Colony ; (3) I: Colony over the Sea. We I ear.:, go just now iuto details, Soh' ' it to say that first the bun• giy to be provided with food and shat r f:+r the night ; and then it it per 1.: ad to form a Colony where :suitable work will be peovi;led. The scheme will doubtless appear uto- pia to many, but it is at least nu i oarucst effort in the right die-'etiou, filet the heaute of the benevolent in I Englueld ere being touched as per.

If you would teach seorecy to others begin with yourself, Pride 1s as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy, In order to judge of another's feelings remember your own. By reading you enrich the mind, I by conversation you polish it. Bags robs a man of his reason and makes him a laughing stools. We oannot have two husbands, we must have the world or Christ. When God forgives a man be treats him as if he bad never sinned. There are none of our &perils so bad but what God oan refine them. Mens depravity has been streugtbened by long indulgence in sin. We should be very careful pot to have more organization than in• inspiration. Salvation is a free gift and there to a reward in it ; the reward is in what we do. We aro complete in Christ at sanctification, but Christ is not complete in us. Christ was made perfect through Buffering, and we must be made per. feet in the same way. The people who have an extra opinion of their own wisdom are not apt to seek wisdom from above. When a scandal comes out on any denomination we should feel just as sorrowful as if it was about our own. We should not be narrow- minded, but have lots of charity. Ilow to get trick ROA stay so.
