TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Tinos) THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Sunday, April 29— Mark 10:17-27; 12: 41-44. Golden Text For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matt. 0:21)• The story'has been told of n loco- motive engineer who was a true Christian man, known and loved for his outspoken faith and consistent life. Ono night the President of the irad was on his train, and there was a `vi.delt:..n„i. nt'2n„t"lle 'r rirI<i'y iiftit tat" ly injured. The President came for- ward from the. Pullman sleeper, where he had bean safe, and leaned over the dying man, who spoke un- troubled words of assurance that he was soon to see his 'Lord. "Jim," said the railroad President, "I would give all I have in the world to have a faith like yours." "That's just what it cost me," said Jim, quietly. And the engineer did not look as though he was sorry he had paid the price. Jim was not only saved bu the knew that he was saved. He was a disciple as well as a believer. His faith was full and unshaken and re- joicing, in the midst of a railroad wreck that was taking his life; and this faith came because he had given the Lord all that he had. He had laid the cost of discipleship; and he received more than he paid. We are not told whether the rich young ruler who came running to the Lord one day and kneeled down, and asked Hini, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" ever did what Jim did. Only God knows whether Jim and that rich young ruler are together today in the presenceof the Lord. Christ asked the young rnan: "Why tallest thou Me good? 'There is none good but one, that is, God." Unitarians use this to prove that Christ is not God, and that He dill not even claim to have the goodness of God. Such an argument is blind to the other utterances of this same Christ, who asserted His sinlessness when He challenged His enemies: "Which of you eonvinceth Me of Sin?" (John 3:46.) He unequivocal ly asserted His deity before the high priest and the Sanhedrin, and de- clared: "Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand cf power, and coming in the clouds of Heaven." (Matt. 26:64.) It was for this "blasphemy" that He was crucified. Ile declared his eternal pre-existence as one with the Father (John 17,5) Therefore, His ques- tion of the young ruler merely in- vited that young man to thoughtful- ness and a confession of faith. After the Lord had cited several of the commandments, and the in- quirer had answered doubtless with T sincerity, "All these have I observed t from my youth," the heart of the •matter was touched by Christ's sc•arebing diagnosis, command and ' invitation "One thing thou lackest; go thy way, cell whatsoever thou East, and give to the poor, and therm shalt have treasure in Heaven,i;' and come, take up the cross, a.,rd follow Me." 'There is no other,,i-8y of disciple- ship. To he 3. disciple means not only that ooss? believes in Christ as Saviour „Slid is saved, but also that one ,;l,.l(s on in full fellowship with ?fie Lord, following Him, learning more of Ilim day by day through un- hindered communion, and walks con- tinually in newness of life (Rom. 6: 4). The condition that Christ names Is given to the Church, in the Epistles, in the call to present our bodies a living sacrifice (Rom. 12:-). Taking up the cross does not mean accepting hardships, as is com- monly supposed. It means recogniz- ing our own hopeless sinfulness, and the fact that there is no hope for us except as we let God put us to death on the cross of Christ, with Him, that we may experience the fullness of resurrection, spiritual life in Christ. Then we are to live day by clay, remembering by faith that we are crucified with Christ. Thus the Christian's cross is not a hardship, but a privilege; it is emancipation from death to the experience of life more abundant. What a tragic mis- take the young Titan made to have been "sad at that saying," as he "went away grieved: for he had great possessions." It was as though a multimillionaire said to a poverty- stricken creature who might have a battered ten -cent piece: "Give up that dime, your tattered clothing, and I will give you all that I have." Would this be a renunciation for the pauper to make this exchange? And yet, as the Lord then went on to show His disciples, earthly riches bland men's eyes to just such an ex- change. Wealth often makes it so impossible for a man to take Christ as Soviour and Lord and thus enter the Kingdom of God. that only God can overcome this impossibility by reaching the man with the Gospel. "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible." The poor widow who cast into the treasury all that she had know the secret. A rich man was asked to make a contribution to a Christian cause. IIe drew his cheque for a moderate amount, and said he would "give the widow's mite." He was reminded that he had better not say that unless he intended to give his millions, for she gave "all that she had." 0 Never place a tire on a bent rim. lie rim should be perfectly straight o prevent damage to the tire. aur,�aar¢ metv,earngarnra ae,.a rico s.,a.curarmaonaaaredmu m fro- a W a�a.aramaara ��.�.�,,-ase. • cult#S.Y t"f, C ,;trt,i s h;a *-4411l! ti4lt:vie' ;.., .

The Firestone Balloon Tread, seen. tifcally designed three years ago, and unchanged today ham the wear -resisting qualities that give thousands of extra miles. This tread mast be placed on a carcass that has the qualifications to withstand terrific HAxing. The Firestone carcass is manic of cords dipped in a rubber solu!.2on which not only saturates and i.nsutates every fibre of every cord, but unifies siclewalls with carcass, elimin- ating any possibility of separation under the extreme flexing of low- pressure tires. The Firestone Dealer in your locality will gladly explain the Gum -Dipping process, the scientifically designed tire tread, and other advantages that only toum-Dipped Tires can give. See him ay.

Dr. William E, Struthers, B. A., M. B., M. R. C. S., chief medical of- ficer of the Workmen's Compensa- tion Board and former chief medical . inspector of the Toronto publae schools, passed away at the Weiles- Iey hospital, Toronto, early Friday in his 60th year. Deceased had been ailing from an internal trouble for some time, and was admitted to the hospital last Wedneseay. Born in Huron county, Dr. Stru- thers received his early education at provincial schools, and on matricu- lating entered Trinity college where he took up medicine. He later stud- ied at Queen's university and on graduating in 1902 finished his med- ical education in Europe where he spent a year. Returning to Toronto he was mar - and continued his practice until ap- pointed as chief medical inspector for the Board of Education in the early part of 1911. 'His first wife had died some time before this, and in 1913 Dr. Struthers married Miss Line Rogers, the world's first school nurse and superintendent of Toron- to school nurses. The marriage caused quite a sen- sation as Miss Rogers was one of the best-known nurses on the con- tinent. In 1914 Dr, Struthers was ap- pointed to the post of chief medical officer of the Workmen's Compen- sation Board, a position ho held un til his death, Deceased also was prominent in Masonic circles, and was at one time the Master of the St. Andrew's Lodge, A. F. & A. M. Ile was also a Past President of the Iluron Old Boys' Association. He had two chil- dren. His only son, Gordon, died of lockjaw at the age of twelve, and his only daughter, Margaret, survives with his widow, a TROUBLE in the STEERING GEAR Looseness in the steering gear may be found due to wear in the king -pin or the bushings. If the bushings are of bronze, as they are some cars, the pin will wear first. Otherwise, the bushings first should be suspected. Replacement of either is not difficult, but frequently the wrong unit is supplanted by a new one and the original trouble remains uncorrected. SPOTS ON UPHOLSTERY' Light spots on cloth upholstery can be removed without much diffi culty. Mild soap and warm — no hot—water rubbed with a woolle cloth. Where the upholstery i deeply spotted with grease, it is bet- tor to leave the work to an expert. It is well to clean the upholstery regul- arly, removing the dust much in the manner of the old-fashioned rug beat ing. Finish off the job with a stiff whisk broom. QUALIFICATIONS OF DRIVER t n s The air cleaner on the car remove:; THE SMOOTH RUNNING ENGINE To obtain smooth running without misfiring in an engine at low speed, the spark must he set so that the cylinders will not fire ton soon as re- tarded spark; the high tension spark coil must be free from short circuits; the battery must be in good condi- tion and well charged; contact points in the timer must be clean, flat and adjusted to the correct spacing; dis- tributor points should be clean and not worn; carburetor should be care- fully adjusted when the engine is warm and there should be good coin - pression in all cylinders, well -seating valves being the most important re- quisite to good compression. It is also necessary to use good spark plugs with points the proper distance apart. Air leaks at cylinder head gasket, spark plugs, valve caps and carburetor manifold where it con- nects to cylinder block will cause missing at low speed. An automobile battery will last a- bout 18 months. Change the oil at regular intervals and prevent undue wear on the en- gine. Improperly fitted chains ruin tires, force the engine to work harder, and can rip holes in the fenders. The standard height of a front bumper is 12 inches and a rear bum- pers 19 inches from the ground. Pay particular attention to rub- ber connections when overhauling the car, These are often neglected, with costly and unpleasant results. The :future of the motoring world depends upon the behavior of the motorist toward the public. A motor car needs a driver who is a skilled mechanic, but it also needs a driver who is skilful in manipulating a ear on the highway. An excellent mech- anic is not necessarily a good driver. What is required in a driver besides a general knowledge of his machine is a knowledge of the rules, customs and courtesies of the road and the habits of traffic; also the possession of the qualities of alertness, fore- sight and a consideration for others. He should have a temperate frame of mend and an abstinence from even moderate drinking. The automobile driver needs to be the best driver on the highway, if he is to drive with- out offense to the public and danger to others and himself, for he lras to conduct a vehicle which is more val- uable than any other and more needy. The complete driver should have a working knowledge of the different materials of which roads re made. of their comparative ten- dency to cause skidding, and of the perils which arise from badly laid treat ear tracks. He must be obser- vant and realize that children hang - ng on rear of wagons are apt to sop of suddenly and ran across his -011. He should also know how to cad a road snap, He must be on the ookout for pedestrians, stupid, sunk or deaf; wagons on the wrong ide of the dangerous corners, and e prepared to finer vehicles in /large of sleepy drivers who will ften do the wrong act on being aroused. A good driver must know the proper way to drive his cur a- ound a corner, both right-handed nd left-handed, and the best way to stead and surmount stoop grades. 7 THE wisdom of more action and less talk is well illustrated in s the matter of the fugitive $5,000,000 in gold bars, which the French Gov- i ernment planned to seise when the d vessel bringing it back to the Soviet p Government touched at Cherbourg r Franco. The wily Russians sent an- I other steamer to meet it in mid -char- d Tier, free of interference, transferred s the gold, and once aboard the lug- b ger the treasure was safe. Next e time I+'ranee will probably seize first o and talk after, Meanwhile the un- happy Fronchmon who invested heavily in Imperial Russian bonds, r repudiated by the Soviet, gnash their a teeth impotently. a dust and dirt before they reach the carburetor. Dust and dirt entering the carburetor soon form on the cy- Iinder wall; and after becoming mix- ed with the lubricating oil act as a dangerous grinding compound.

Mining eitusin Vancouver, Note the women prospectors. 3, A typical mining scene at the.100feet level. The 01d mining days of British Columbia, that were as rich in output as in romance, are be- ing revived. There is a new ro- oord in mineral production in this most highly mineralized ares on the North American conti- nent, In which every conceivable mineral is found. In all phases of taming,—prospecting, devel- opment and production; lode mining, placer -mining, and coal- mining, the current year is witnessing a healthy and vigor- ous activity. The largest increases recorded are in lead and zinc, and the pro- vince polsesses the s000nd great- est lead- line mine in the world. Coppor, too, shelve an increased production, while tiro overt' day P'egress of that great eompany the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company in Trail, B.C., reads more like a wondertul ro- mance than a reality. .A. most significant feature of the present activity in mining is the way in which many partially developed properties and also prospects which have been dying dormant, are now being devel- oped, Substantial progress Stas been made in building main trunk motor roads through the provinces, while material aids are being given in the working of minerat properties by assist- ing in the construction of branch roads to them. New trails are oleo continually being built to open up newly discovered min- eralized areas tor the prospector. The British Celumbla Chamber oe Minos has boon prornotlug the welfare of the mining industry for the last thirtoen years, The Chamber has on exhibition an in• teresting collection of the great. variety of minerals mined; in the province. There is also co-oper- ation with the various )rroapect- ors' associations of British Col - Many towns of .the province have branch ohambers of mines and the classes in rnineraloi;y and geology as well as the min ing lectures have boon largely attended, It is of interest to beam that there are a kw women prospectors 111car ;1i:; those lectures as will be Ston freta the rieture +' 4 1 Research work, too with re„are to mit+e=i^ttl '' deposits is carried on. continu. ously by the devololrmenf 111111) of the Canadian Pacific I1,d,lway. .
