Increased Production Urged.
.A call has gone out for increased pro-
duction in 191.7, and townspeople are
urged to cultivate every acre oft waste
land. if everybody who can will do his
' bit in this way it will help keep down
the cost of living and the exerciseitself
will add to the general health of those
who employ their spare hour's in cultiv-
aUiig a garden or in raising poultry or
in any other way that produces food-
stuffs. Look about you now and see if
youcannot help others by helping your-
s'elf, Self-help is more blessed than
self-denial, •
Get Ready For The Ciean-up.
Now the lawn begins to appear. So
does the back yard. The latter will
not present as good an appearance as
1 the former, even though you hive de-
livered all your garbage in one place.
Get ready to put the lawn in beieer
shape as soon as it is fit, also the back
yard, which will require the application
of a'spade, then a hoe, and a rake, next
sone seeds and plants. Do not forget
the potatoes unless you have another
lot in view for them..

must be suers as to oak-, into account
at least five een.ideratieus.
The first is that the Nev.' Testament
is in its entire spirit and oatitnl: on
the side of futon, I defy any one to
read the Cos; els and rise from the
reading with any other convietion
than that ,Terns was on the Fide o"
•L)nion,'I challenge any one to read
the letters of Paul to the Geanthian
Charter and not be impressed by the
horror with which ho regards the tem
deney to break up into "'sects. It
startles him as if q Ore avere about tb
break forth or a nest of snakes to be
hatched.'
The second is that the stature judg-
ment of the world is behind the prin-
ciple that 'strength lies in unity.
"United we stand, divided we fall," is
a maxim that has its roots striking
down into generation's of experience,
The third is that negotiations have
been carried far forward; have in-
volved patient labor' and large ex-
pense, and at two pivotal points re-
ceived their determining impulse
from Presbyterian leaders;' Prinelpa l
Patr•iek of Winnipeg, whose words
lead the impartiality of • a . newly -
arrived but well diet:lpliuod mind, and
Principal Caven of Toronto, whose
utterance had the weight'l of a life-
long experience in Canada. 'J'hey
assume no light responslbillty who
seek to render futile all title mass of
thought, effort and prayer.
In the fourth place there is n very
serious practical problem in vol yeti,
That probiern was inadvertently in-
trodueed by :one of the speakers al a
recent meeting of the ant) -union party,
la Montreal. IIe was referring In the
next General Assembly, which le to
meet tn,,Mon•treal, and 110 pe.eenlhe•

the significant taring, the West is

lost cause on the other side of the

you may do it in one place by the
Methodists becoming Presbyterians

men of the West say Why have this
partial and ineffective method? Why
not unite in every community? Why
not find what the Methodists, Presby-

with other aspects of the question,
0, M. Bowman, Chief Liberal Whip,
led a debate in the Rouse deprecating
the unnecessary multiplication of
Government officials during the past
twelve years, whereby there are prate
tteally two officials in the inside Ser-
vice to -day for every one in the year
5004. Mr, Bowman also contended
that owing to the prevailing war con-
ditions, the time was tnopportune for
the general increase being made by
the Government inthe salaries of
those employed in the public service,
especially of those already In receipt
of substantial salaries of $2,000 per
year and upwards,
The Government voted down his
reaolntton that the cost of civil gov-
ernment should not be' further in-
creased at this time except where
eseentiai to ensure its efficiency, and
that no permanent increases in salar-
ies of $2,000 and upwards should be
made at this time,
Mr. Dewart, during the debate, re-
ferred particularly to the case, of the
Deputy Registrar -General, who is re-
ceiving an increase of $S00 or 50 per
cent, of his present 'salary. This of-
ficial, Mr. Dewart said, was the
brother-in-law of the Assistant Pro-
vincial Secretary, and from another
brother-in-law of the same officer in
Sarnia, the drugs for Government in-
stitutions all over the province had
been purchased.

Wigle, member for South 19esex, who
brought the matter before the house.
He objected particularly to tho estab-
lishment last year of two more race
tracks in the vicinity of 'Windsor,
which makes a total of three, in that
city alone, operating 42 days 1n the
year. "In this time of war," said Mr.
Wigle, "we need every bit of our
energy and strength for the success-
ful prosecution of the war," He
thought that the allowing of race
track gambling was a crying shame.
Professional gamblers and crooks,
driven out from the States, were find-
ing a place to carry out their designs
in Ontario.
Sam Carter, M.P.P. for South Wel-
lington, thought that race track
gambling in Ontario was an out.,
rageous scandal. Men sitting in high
places were making fortunes through
their connection with race tracks. Mr.
McGarry declared that the Govern-.
ment could not keep these tracks`out'
and that all they had done was to
license them to obtain a revenue. Mr:
Carter, however, felt that the Govern-
ment could have prevented this state
of affairs by placing the license fee at
a prohibitive • rate. Mr. McGarry
thought that such a proceeding might
be declared illegal.
NOTES FROM THE HOME
Sir Adam Back made a slashing
attack against Mackenzie & Mann and
other big railway interests and claim-
ed that water power had been stolen
from the people, Mr. Rowell said that
the people of Canada hadn't received
the transportation facillties they were
entitled to and believed they would
not be satisfied with the consolidation
of the railways under private owner-
ship. The whole system of lines would
have to be operated for tate benefit
of the public,
Sam Carter's motion for adequate
treatment by the Government of the
urgent. and serious problem of the
feeble-minded in Ontario *1114 rejected
as in past years: "It stakes, your
blood 1s.11," said Alan Studhollp.o, Ilr-
dependent Labor member of East
Hamilton, "when you. see how thin
problem is being allowed to drift bi
the Government."

in Pe. xxvii, 13—I believed to see. The

but the Christian believes lu order to
see. Jesus tallied 0 moment with elis
Father and then criedwith a loud voice,
"Lazarus, come forth!" Instantly he
was at the mouth of the tomb, alive
and well, but still bound baud and foot,
with the graveelothes and his face
bound about with the napkin. The
same word that gave him life brought
him also to the mouth of the cave
Some day that same voice will bring
forth all the dead, the righteous et the
beginning of the thousand years and
the unjust at the clbso of that period
(chapter v, 28, 29).
It probably gave fear and trembling
to some to see a dead man stand up
with the graveclotlles still on him, but
Jesus said, "Loose hien and let him go,"
and soon he Is freed from the habili-
ments of death. Oh, the wonder work-
ing Christ; truly a man, for He wept;
truly God, for He can raise the dead,
and He is ever "this Sumo Jesus."
Many who have eomo to life from be-
ing dead in sins have not been fully
freed from their greveclothes, the
things they did in their former clays
when they were of this present evil
age, but Ile who gave life is able to set
free from all bondage and make free
iudee(1 to serve Him. If you,are tree
by His 'word and Spirit, Iib will use you
to set some one else free if you will.
