This truth God patiently sought to teach his people by such commands as the one given to Moses liter in the presence of the people near this same mountain: "And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, Take heed • to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it" (Exod. 19. 19).

The spread of -gambling among the English people, both men and women, is causing eerious and growing eoncern. No measures yet have been devised to stop the ha- bit, which rapidly is becoming more and more of a, menace. On all big races practically everybody, from the newsboy on the street to the peer in his motor, has something on his fa-voreite, horse, and ov.en on the everyday .. race an humense amount in the aggregate is wager- ed. Latterly it. has been disclosed that, women working in offices tenel resbaura.nte in the city have be-. conee as inveterate gambleas as the men and boys. Nowadays both Elea and women, eluting the after- noon hours, are distracted from their work by their anxiety over the results of the races, and employers complain in vain. The Rouse of Commons, with a view of curbing this increase in the betting habit, paesed a law prohibi- ting oorn.miseion agents from ac- cepting money on it bet, but this was easily evaded by the agents carrying wagers on a. credit system, settling once is week, As the sys- tem works to -day any boy with a shilling to bet on it horse can go to ahniast any newspaper s.eller and get his money down. Another mea- sure to overcome this condition was met by op,p,otsition from the woelt- ingniata, who claimed for himeelf the !same privileges and oppertuni- tees accorded hes wealthy 'neighbor, who ean wager as freeey as he likes by either going to the track or tele- phoning his commieseren agent. The complaint is made elect that gambling is spoiling golf. At most .of the big clubs' to -day members will 'not play melees mowed of a good side bet on the result,. It started with ha..1.f a dollar a round, but ab some clubs it game is seldom played for less elven $25, $50, OT even $100 Found. The profession- al, too, who gets Inc fee for taking it novice around, no0 wants a wa- ger on the result. Even if he gives the novice all he deserves, the pro- fe.ssional generally can win. • JZIN 0' THE FLY. - A Nartm•alert Made Two Blue Bottles Save Ilion "There is nothing so abominable as a blue bottle fly," said a natur- alist, "yet even blue bottles may be utilized.

IDEAL OF THE MORAL LIFE Its Very Esscnee IS Love, Which is the Most Posi- tive Force In All the World "Behold,these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and xfiiti7ii. none.ur.ber Cuthteit elgrooveunn,d• why Lelialkthe Here'is the cone/usion of one oi the most significant of the parablee of Jesue. •According 'to the story, a certain man had a fig: tree planted in his -vineyard," and year after year' 'he came seeking fruit thereon.':. Each year, however, he had the same disappointing exper- ience of finding none, and at last, disgusted with the tree, he ordered his vine dressers to "cut it down." "W by, " he asked, 'doth it cumber the groured7" Now, it is to be noticed that there is nothing said in this parable ebout the fig tree not being a per- fectly good tree. It was not poist onous or noxious. It was mot with- ere,d, er gnarled, or undersized. Indeed, if we, are to. trust the story, it was BO excellent a specimen, so far as its attributes as a tree weee concerned, that each year he own- er expectesl to see its branches lad- en with figs. There was nothing at all that was actually bad about the 'tracsth tree, thatetroubwaslewas thab there vi Positively Good. - It failed in its one specific emission of bringing forth fruit, Its room was more valuable than its pres- enee. Now, here do we have a striking illuetration of one of the most orig- inal characteristics. of the teaching of Jesus -namely, its emphasis up - ,on the positive character of good - nese. All too frequently is good- ness interpreted in 'purely negative terms, asthe act of avoiding tier - 'rain things which the ,world has agreed te regard ae evil. The good, ,man is the man who does not steal, lie, , kill, commit adultery, covet, and so on ehrough all the melan- choly eatelogue of "Then shalt nets." To avoid these sins, we have been told, is to attain to the ideal of the moral life. Hence is the world crowded with men and -Women who regard thettlSelVeft SS wholly good simply becanse they. have never done anything that wate, had. 'Like the rich yoeng man, they can boast that they have kept, all the commandments frorn their youth up, and thezefore they think themselves • Entitled to Eternal Lite. Not so, however, if we are to trust the teaching of the Nazarene! Jesus' standard is positive, and not negative at all. To His min4. it is not enough that a man should merely keep the commandraents di- rected against ,moral offences of Mee kind and another. Beycinel the "Thou shalt not" in the greater commandment, "Thou shalt." Goodness, therefore, le a posi- tive thing. In telling the story of the vineyard Jesus was only illus- trating 'fire familiar statement in the Sermon on the 3tIount---"Every good tree bringeth forth good fruit . . . Every tree that beareth not good fruit is hewn down and cast into the Are." --Rev. John Haynes Holmes. MIL ARTHUR MEIGIIEN, Canada's New Solicitor -General Is Earnest arid Strenuous. Arthur Meighen, the new Solici- tor -General, was one of the few earnete young men on the Govern- ment side -who lied a chance to dis- tinguish themeelves at the lase strenuous Pa,rlia,mentary session. Born in 1876, the new Solicitor- Gleneetel is only 37, years old. In appearance he looks almost absurd- ly young when pitting his legal knowledge and power of argument against the veteran.s of Parliarnene.

Mr. Meighen is a barrister, and his lanai training leas developed a naturally keen, analytical mind.

LEA1tN TO THINK.. Most of Us Are Asleep as to a Large Part of Our Ability. • A fatale with most 01 us is that we never learn to think. Thousands of men, lacking a goo( education, practically throw • away precious hours because they never learn to . think. Systematic thinking is the _ beet possible discipline. Happy is ehe youth that has &ranee" the fixed habit of self-improvement, that is always trying to make .himeele little better prepared foy his op- portunity when it comes. Tell me how a young man uses his little ragged edges of time after his day's work is, done, and what he is re- volving in his mind at every oppor- tunity, and I will tell you whet thee young man's futere will be, eays writer. Thousands of persons have, in their spare moments, through sys- tematic courses of reading and .ethely furnished by some of our splendid correspondence schools obtained is better education than have many that have gone through college.' The trouble with young people is not that they do not possess success qualities, but that in most of them the , qualities are latent, inactive. There is now and then oi, man that gets thoroughly aroused. We de- velop only a small percentage of ourselves -just enough to solve the bread end butter question. , The besh locomotive ever beilt would not move a train an inch without the energy of the coal, the oil, or the electricity to propel it.
