TRIyMBULL (Editor of Tho Sunday Boucot Timesy THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: DUTIES TO MAN Sunday, Aug. 29.—Excelus 20:12- 21. Golden Text: Thou shalt love thy neignhor as thyself. (Lev, 19:181. It is impossilbe for any human be- ing to keep the Ten Cormdandarents unless he has been 'born again, and thereby has received the life ail the supernatural power of God. Tins is true of commandments studied Fast week: our duties to Gorl.; and those of this week: duties to man. Toward God, for example, we cannot "have no other gods before" Him, ti;'lc•r:; He supernaturally enable,' ue to nut Him always first. Only n child of God can truly worship and love Him, and take His name worthily. I:0,.p- iag the Commandments 1; living a miracle life; and that is exactly the life that God offers us in Christ. Even in Mose: day, fifteen ceann'i'. be- foreChrist first advent on earth, the "true Israelites" lived by faith in God, and knew that they iambi not keep His law except by trusting' Him for life and power. •Six Commandments set forth dut- ies of man to fellow -man. It is sig- nificant that every one of thew is found reiterate] in the Now Testa- ment, as obligations of those who are living. under grace. And it is significant also that the habitual breaking of these six commandments their violation in the meet 1 Iiiterate, contemptuous, and extreme ways, seems to be acutely chararteristie of to -day, when "self-expression" is the popular euphemism for lawlesni•ss. Di'. Gresham Machin of Princeton recently said that he believed the reason why so few people are being saved to -day under the preaching in our churches is that tht law is not being preached as it should he, He pointed out that D. L. Moody, in his great evangelistic missions, never lea genby preaching the grace of (sod. He began by declaring the law of God so powerfully that his hearers were convicted of their sins; then they saw their need of God's grace, ami were ready to accept it. Only those who put God first in their lives, and thus have flim as their Heavenly Father, can honor their earthly father and mother, IN He commands. Our earthly parents are meant to be God's representatives to us; we honor them because we! ewe to them our human life. And ' t even when children have parents who , de not truly represent God, but are disloyal to Him, they are, to honor and obey those, parents, to -o far as s this vines not call for actual sin. TheNew Testament gives the Ironer of this Commandment: "Chi)i.h' , ehey t c your parents in th Lord; for this `- right." (Elite 6:1 The tragedy of to -day is that so math children con- temptuously laugh et this Command- ment,turd fulfil the prophecy: "'Fhb. know else, that in the last days peri- lous tines shall come.

The recent appointment of the Rt. Hon. Reginald McKenna, former Chancellor of the Exchequer of the British Government, and E. R. Pea. cock, a director of the famous Bank of Baring Brothers, to the director- ate of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, has caused very favorable comment in Canadian and English financial circles. The annual across -Canada educa- tional tour carried out under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific Railway, terminated recently at To- ronto and Professor Sinclair Laird, Dean of Macdonald College, who was in charge of the party of over 1UU teachers, students and professional nen, stated that their entire trip Had been art unqualified success. Over 3,000 tickets were sold re- cently for the annual picnic and out- ing of the Angus Shops"in Montreal to Ste. Ruse, which proved the most successful ever held. Prominent officials who took part in the day's outing were: Mr. Grant Hall, vice- president of the Canadian Pacific Railway; John Burns, works man- ager at the Angus shops; J. D. Muir, assistant works manager, and W. Peterson, shop engineer.

Is Simply a Large, Somewhat Apo- cbtdized Water -Spaniel. Considerable obscurity surrounds the origin of this Newfoundland dog —one of the handsomest, most in- telligent and romantically- celebrated of all breeds, yet now an10lig the varieties of the dog -world. One thing in certain, thin dog is not a native, p1'ts-discovery, Newl'oundland- er. The dog of tins lloothuk Indians, who Inhabited the island when 11,be- gan to receive visits front European fishermen and adtun!urers in the six- teenth century, were of the Eskimo type, showing node or the points of the breed we are dlecuseIng; they we1•e sledgedngs - provided with a thick coating of under -fur through which protruded the lung hairs nt the outer coat. As the Indians and their dogs diminished and settlers came to replace them, the latter brought with them European dogs, among which, no doubt, were scute of the bigger sorts, mastiffs, blood- hounds and especially', it is said, some of a ferocious breed of pointers thea common In Spain, whence most of the earlier cad -Esher's came. "These crossed miscellaneously with the Indian dogs, but," as we are told, "tire pointer especially seems to have introduced into the double: coated na- tive his color, size, Intelligence and green scent—all qualities well mark- ed in the Newfoundland as he carte into European knowledge at the end of the eighteenth century." This is a theory advanced long ago by a serious writer; but I am not dis- posed to accept it, says a writer in the Montreal Weekly Star, except in part, rejecting especially the theory that the Spanish -Portuguese pointer is the most influential ancestor of the breed. I believe, with Jewett, the author of statadard works on do- mestic dogs and horses, supported more recently by Lydekker, a dis- tinguished English naturalist, that the . Newfoundland dog is simply a large, somewhat specialized water - Spaniel, derived possibly from a conr- bination of the Lash water -spaniel and the (originally French) Colum- bia Spaniel. Both those were Targe water -loving dogs, weighing from 50 to 65 pounds and both would be like• ly to be among the earliest European dogs to be acclimated in the island. All the characteristics et the present dog point to descent from such span- iels, rather than from anything else; and I doubt whether mixture with the native Indian dog had mucin, if anything, to do with it. I think the accompanying illustration bears out my interpretation of the origin. So highly esteemed was the New- foundland dog a century or a century and a half ago, for his wonderful swinuuing and retrieving powers, that he was almost entirely exported in ex- change for high prices, so that by 1890 a survey showed none left ex- cept in a few outlying islands. REPUIBLIC OB VENEZUELA. South American State Assumes New Importance as a Market. Owing to the important develop- ments which have taken place in the oil fields of the Republic of Vene- zuela during the last few years, and the consequent increased purchasing power of the country, that South American state has assumed a new importance as a market. From a scant half -million barrels in 1920, the production of petroleum had increased to over 20,0.00,000 lu 1925, and the limit has not yet ueen reached. Venezuela now holds fifth place as a producer 01,oil, and with further developmeut she may take a yet ]nigher .position, Exports from Canada to the re- public rose from $271,641 in 1991 to 51,065,258 in 1924, and 'to $1,433,- 233 in the fiscal year 1926. These mounting figures are largely account- ed for by larger shipments o1 dour, but as far as other Canadian products are concerned the market is practi- cally untouched, despite the fact that the condition's obtaining warrant the closest attention from We exporters of foodstuffs and many tnattu(actured artteles, Venezuela, in the most northern part of South America, 11as an area of 394000 square mile's, which is only 13,000 square miles less than the arca J the Province of Ontario, It has an estimated population of 111141e millions. 01 this number about 10 per cent. are white of European de- scent, but possibly 75 per cent, are mixed race of white blood and In- dian, There are also pure Indians and negroes. Largely due to the developtne+nt of the oil fields there is a large and growing market for such Canadian Products as flab, canned butter, all varieties of Canned fruits and vege- tables, potatoes, llour, It tuber, ce- ment, the various steel products, and many kinds of manufactured articles, The city of Maracaibo may be said to be the most important single mar- ket In the country, Canada has re- cently beets brought into prominence In. the city through the purchase of two electric light and power plants from a Montreal corporation, The wealth of Venezuela lies in hor abundant natural resources, whichare largely undeveloped, and in 'her pastoral and agricultural in- dustries.

They protect food from absorbing the taste and odor of other food, and prevent spoilage. BLOOD STAINS Blood stains should be washed out first with cold water and white soap.

A cavalcade of 250 horsemen, the ;a Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, whose long rides and ex- ploits over the twisted trails of "The Top of the World" have become classic, returned: recently to Lake Louise from,thsic annus .ride, thus adding another romantic page to the history of this organization in the West. )„Their return was strangely silent and different in fact than one might, ,without thinking, expect. No undue ceremonies or song, terminated the mountain journey of these.•p en and women from all parts of America and Europe, for being true nature lovers they had„ in their eomminnion with the eilences of theemountains found the solace therein. The spirit 'of their order, was, they knew, "0, reverence for the majesty and beauty of nature" !'Their homage had been paid and their journey ended. They would revel in the nremdry of it silently, for they had learned, as someone has put it, that "reat joys like great griefs are silent.'' But the spirits of the Riders on the trail at all times ran high, While ,the on the fiat heights of Pt, Maven Pass a rodeo was held with ,no enI1 of local western color. Harry ,Knight, Canadian bucking hoose ehampton, Guy Weadick of Calgary Stampede fame, 13111 Bugby, Chief Buffalo Child Lon Lance, and irnany other well known figures in the west aeeo tplished the Trail Sliders, This rodeo was carried on at an altitude of 8,000 feet and brought about an important discovery amongst the scientists of the party. It was found that a horse that bucked four feet into the. air at the Calgary Stampede was only capable of a two - foot leap at this high altitude. Guy Weaclick was in charge of this novel stampede above the clouds. Thegreat Pow -Wow which took place in the Ptarmigan Valley on August 14th, combined the Riders of two parties which had set out from Banff and Lake Louise with plans to meet at this point. The two parties met on the second day near Baker Lake. A picturesque scene they madetheir with h bright scarves fluttering as the long line of horses cantered down the trails.
