"MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY", ,
That expression had considerable
vogue in England some years ago. We
never' knew just whin it meant; but
we have here in Lucknow an example
of something along that line. We
understand that the two local Metho-
dist ministers have gone into part-
. nership for the purpose of getting
out a supply of wood. That does not
mean that they are asking the neigh-
bors to do it. Nothing so soft as
that. My. II, Mathers happened' to
remark to one of them that he had
plenty of timber but it was impos-
sible to get anyone to cut it. So this
parson communicated with his neigh-
bor and they decided at once that
they should do the: cutting themselves:
So equipped with axes and a cross-
cut saw they have been in the woods
every spare half day. The timber is
mostly cut into long pieces; Mr.
Mathers will haul it to town, and
some day a buzz saw will be at work
back of the parsonage and a fine lot
of wood will be piled up. That is
the way in which muscular Christian-
ity is manifesting itself in Lucknow.
It reminds us of the fable in the old
school reader, about the farmer who
had a field of ripe grain to reap.
Twice he invited -the neighbors to
cone and reap it, but finding they
did not respond, he and his son un-
dertook the work and they were sur-
prised at how quickly and well it
was done -Lucknow Sentinel.
Recovers Testament Lost in Germany.
Mr. Harry Laird, of Blenheim, a
returned prisoner of war, is the hold-
er of a unique war souvenir which
carte into his possession last Satur-
day. He was taken prisoner at Sanc-
tuary Wood on June 2, 1916, and im-
inediately on passing into the hands
of the enemy he was searched and
his belongings taken from him.
These included a small pocket testa-
ment presented to him by the Pres-
byterian Young People here, on the
fly leaf of which was written his name
and address, and in which were two
small photographs of his father and
mother. On Saturday morning the
book, with photographs intact, came
back to hint by mail, accompanied by
a letter from a gentleman in Peter-
borough, in which it was stated that
his son, Capt. Barry G. Rogers, of
Cooksville, formerly of the 5th C. M.
R., had picked .it -up while he was a
prisoner of war and kept it secure
until his return to Canada. Inscribed
in the book is a German -officer's
naive: Dr. Oskar Weisenbohler,
Lieutenant, Taubenheimstr 73, Can -
Stott Wurttemberg.
Quality in Live Stock
"We must establish our name for
quality in live stock as we have done
for quality in grain. Quality must
be our slogan if we are to success-
fully compete with the Argentine"
says the Tion, S. F. Tolmie, Canada's
Minister of Agriculture, in The Ag-
ricultural Gazette -for November, "It
is better sires, better feeding, and
better finishing that we can obtain
a position second to none in the live
stock world. The scrub sire is doomed
and is now being prepared for the
block. An accredited herd system is
being established with a view to
stamping out disease and insuring
health in our herds. In whatever di-
rection our trade develops it is our
duty to: see that only first class stock,
free fiton disease of any kind, is ex-
ported."
The eleven -year-old son of All?ert
Bierworth of Faraday township was
fatally shot by the' accidental dis-
charge of a gun in the hands of his
father.
