comes a twentieth century "eultiva-
toe; "guard" beeomes "polieeznatt";
"lunacy" beeoines "epilepsy," and "tri-
bute becerees "poll tax;"
in the famous letter to the Cor
inthiaus, 13th, by Sb. Paul, on charity
,end leve, Dr. Goodspeed's yeesio:
reads; If I can speak the tau cages
of mon and an;;els but have no love,
I am ettly a noisy gong or 0 clashing
cymbal,' and if I have such perfect
faith that I can move mountains; but
have no love, I am nothing. Even if
I give away. everythieg I own, null
giveup my self, but do it in pride, not
love, it does me no good,` Lova is pa,
tient and kind.` Love is not envious
or boastful. It does not put oe aivs;
It is not rude. It does not insist on
its rights. It does- not Become angry:
It is not "resentful. It is not happy
over injustice, it is only happy with
truth, It will bear ,anything, believe
in anything, bope for anything, en
dare`_ anything. Love will never die
out. If there is inspb ed,preaching,, it
will ,pass away. If there is ecstatic
speaking, it will , cease, " If there
knowledge, it .will pass "away. When
I`eean.a child, I talked like a child, I
reasoned -like a ehtlel "W-1ren.I. became
men ; I put way n>_y chi.idish ways:
For -now we are looking at a dam -le -
flection in a mirror, but then we shall
see face to.face. Now "my knowledge
is -imperfect, but then I shall know
as fully as God knows me. So faith,
hope and love endure. These are the
great three, and the greatest of them
is love."
His translation of the miracle of
feeding the multitude expressed in
simple, direct English, follows
The, disciples said to him
• Where can we get bread enough in
this solitude to feed such crowds?
-Jesus said to them
How many loaves have you?
They said,
Seven, and a few small fish, •
Then He ortlexed the people to take
their places on -the ground, and gave
thanks and gave them to His disciples,
and the disciples gave them to the
people. .And they all ate and 'satisfied
their..hunger, and the pieces that they
left that were picked up filled 'seven
baskets. There ;.were four thousand;
men that were•fed;besides women and

Flying Boats to, Shorten
Transatlantic Journey
A despatch from Loudon says:—
Crossing of the Atlantic will be short-
ened by eight hours about one week

dized service of• -luxuriously fitted fly-
ing boats will start operating between
Southampton and Cherbourg, to con-
nect af the French port with incoming

Passengers anxious for la short-cut'
voyage to London from New. York or
desiring to pick up at Cherbourg the
liner missed at Southampton will, have

nel from a cabin built out at the fore-
part of the airship.
The service will be subsidized by
the government' at the rate of $60,000

Democracy on Trial.
BY DR.'1. G. $1-1EAR) II;
In our former article we emphasised
the necessity far' a high standard in
mind and morale on the part of the
citizens generally if democracy is to
prove .in practice an efficient form of
government.
One of the points at which demo-
cracy is tested and in dan-
ger ie at the ballot box: The secret
ballot 'is a -safeguard of:honesty and
freedom in'this' exjlression01 political
manhood arid; Womanhood. It makes
possible an honest vote. It is not sue-
ficient''toatemeantee-.ii.,,a. There are
sinister influences at work. One -`of
these is the purchasing of votes. The
-effort undoubtedly is too frequently
made in keen party contests, In many
cases it is succesefui.' An honored
member' of the House of Commons is
authority' for the statement in my
possession—a signed' statement -that
in his constituency, --a rural one in
Eastern Canada, '70 per cent., of the
electors were open to receive whiskey
or, money br both, and 50. per. cent.
Would. importune 'candidates or• -work-
ers for money or liquor or both. There
aro cases on,public record where pro-
fessing Christian men were the agents
for distribution of corrupt funds :and
liquor. _ Tt would seere that many who
are honest in .business have no con-
ception of honesty in politics. • The
president of one, of our old universities
tells that .when he went to vote inc a
certaingeneral election be enet
official of a rural church of the de-
nomination to which he belonged and
in ,conversation was informed that
that man> had two sonsvoting for the
first time at this election and that' he
the father had thought well to give,
them 'advice about their duty in -the
.exercise ;of `their new power of man-
hood and had said, "Boys, take all the
money the Tories will give you. and
take all the money the Grits will give
you—but, .voto your conscience!"
What did this man mean by. "voting
your 'conscience"? Simply "vote your
party ticket."' `
But aside from cases of rigid party
electors who will take money but not
sell their votes the party system. lends,
itself -bo the buying of seats in Par-
liament, -Legislature or municipal
council. In each 1,000 electors in a
close,'constituency there may be 400 of
one party, 400, of the other, 100 inde-
pendents and 100 purchasable voters,
The keen election leaderswillconcen-
trate on the 200, half of: whom can be
bought, and the other half must•' be
persuaded, A purchasable ten per
cent. may decide an election in a large
number of ,constituencies, Here Bee'a
very strong temptation to unscrupu-
lous candidates and. party leaders,
The history of practical politics in
Canada'provides all too clear and un-
savoey.evidence that in a certain'ntrm-
ber of constituencies the temptation
has been yielded to and, the will of
the people defeated, Democracy has in
that case and to that extent failed,
• Practical politicians not infrequent-
ly, speak of politics he "the greatest
game on ,earth." If it is merely a
strenuous struggle between two teams
for the victory—and-gior;'—if not the.
spoils, there it practical certainty
that the welfare of the people ,will be.
a secondary consideration if con-
sideration at all. Politics ought to be
the "sr;en"ce of soeiolwelfare ;.' this
only, this always. ^•All else is second-
ssy and coinparatively unimportant.
Tho growth of a spirit of inde-
pendence bnrong electors and the con-
sequent readinees.to vote against the
party of their preference is hopeful

peudenee of the electorate in Great
Britain is well known. The average
