definition. Unfortunately some mortgages
o cannot be coneidered investmente. nor yet
sorne shares cannot be accurately de-
r scribed as speculations. However, it is a
fairly accurate definition, and pretty well
on the safe side.
Take such a seourity as Oonsumerie One
Company of Toronto ehares.. These are
used 943 an illustration because the Com-
Pany is so situated that the hypothetical
oases which I shall suggest cannot take
place in connection therewith. I make
this statement to reassure any holders of
Consumers' Gas *mit, who might other-
gwei4eionfeBel uneasy at reading these sug.
Now, Consumers' Gas stock is ae nearly
a true investment as it 1,3 possible for a
stock to be. It has no speculative side.
Its returns are limited by law to 10 per
cent, on the par value, whieh represents
about 51-4 per cent on the present mar-
ket price of the [Mares. Its earnings have
been steadily growing. and it ie ivell
managed. It commands a ready market
with very few fluctuations in price. Its
assets are substantial and valuable, An.
Dithently it is a pure quibble to say it is
not an investment.
Suppose,' however, the recent annexe -
Moue to the City of Toronto required at
sudden expansion in the 'company's sys-
tem of mains and in its plant. A less
substantial company would find it neces-
sary to iesue securities more attractive
than ordinary stock to raise the moneY,
and conceivably the Consumers' Gee
Company during some such period of
etrese aa occurred in 1892, 1902 or 1907
might find it necessary to sell bonds to
raise MS money. These bonds would, of
course, come ahead of the common etock,
and that stook would, by the issue of
bonds, become less satisfactory as an in-
vestment. Indeed, it might happen that
as earnings are limited to a sum Bala.
ent to nay 10 per cent,. on the common
stock, that in order to pay the bond in-
terest it would be necessary to cut the
return on the junior security.
Or, suppose,. under stress of a coal
strike or some other unforseen , contin.
eency, the Companyai earnings tell be-
low the 10 per cent. mark. It would he
necessary to cut the dividend in order
to keep within the earnings. But a bond
in a similar noeition couldn't be denied
ite interest. In a period of stress such
a company could raise by means of a
loan from ite bank enough money to
take care of such a temporary contiue
gency. But the law and the ordinary
principles of good business would pre-
vent the direetors taking eimilar steps in
oonnection with the dividend in •auch a

That ie why a stock should not be called
an investment. Many people will find
fault with Gila attitude, but when we come
right down to teeth nothing can be de.
vised which will come ahead of a mort-
gage -and therefore of bond, which is
secured by mortgage: but If a contin-
gency arises it is a very simple matter

North York is one of those constituencies
whioh shows more loyalty to men than
to parties. This is illustrated by the feet
that it is nearly the same riding that
now gives Lennox a thousand of a nut-
jority that used to give Sir William Mu -
lock a four -figured majority nearly every
election. "Bill" had hie own ways of
keeping in totieh with his conetituents,
the Menlo is "Herb's" way -one of them.
It also elves him an opportunity to show
a lot of hie city friends the beauties of
Lake Simcoe. The farmers and their
families come in thousands. There is

a vote of the electors February 24,
the mammath mill of the Lake Su-
perior Pulp & Paper Company was
placed in operation on Thursday
afternoon, and the 154 -inch paper
machine is now working on what is
practically a test run.' Providing
the output of the mill is satisfac-
tory on the initiel run, paper will
be placed on the market immediate-
ly, or rather will be shipped to
consumers whe already have orders
booked: The expectation is to turn
out some 200 tons of paper per day,

it appear that the machines will
have to work overtime for some
months at least.

Verse 24. Another parable -One
of a group of eight parables men-
tioned in the introductory notes to
our last lesson, which compare.
Verse 25. While men slept -- At
night. It should be noted that no
particular men are designated, it
being the stealthiness of the en-
emy, rather than any negligence on
the part of the men who slept,
which this part of the parable em-
phacizes.
26. When the blade sprang up -
When it grew tall and brought
forth fruit. Resemblance to the
grain was so close that it was not
detected until the time when the
ears of grain began to form.
27. Servants -Literally, bond -ser-
vants.
28. An enemy -Literally, a man
that is an enemy.
Wilt thou then that we go -eag-
erness of men to judge their fellows
is a common hunian trait which
even Christians do not escape.
29. Haply-Perchanee.
Root up the wheat with them -
The similarity between the wheat
and the three noted above made
this a real danger, but added to
this the roots of the plants Would
be intertwined in the soil, and thus
it would be almost impossible to re-
move the one without uprooting the
.9t3}1r.0e.Gather. up first the tares -This
would be impossible in actual prac-
tice'in harvest fields with which we
arefamiliar. In ancient times, how-
ever when the grain was all cut
with a small hand aidele, and liar-
vesting.was not so complicated or
extensive it process as now, and
especially aiming people with whom
time counted for little, this separ-
aitbuionit,yo.f the tares from the wheat
at harvest timen
was ot an impos-
536. In verses 31-35, which inter
veno, are recorded two other par-
ables which Jesus spoke in connec-
tion with the one under considera-
tion. It was not until after he had
finished speaking 'that he left the
multitudes, and went into the
house, the house referred' tobeing
probably that of Peter, at Caper-
naum
, 37, The Son of man -A title- used
by Jesus frequently in referring to
himself.
38. The field is the world--Proir
ably Jesue intended with the term
world to designate actually the
whole world, though some haye
thought that the interpretation of
the parable requires a limitation of
the word th that part of the world
included in the kingdom which he
was to eetablieh. Such a limitation,
however! BMUS wholly unwarrant
ed. In interpreting the parable we
must remember that it is not intend-
ed that the details of any of Ohrist's
parables amulet be forced further
than Jesus himseli carried the in,
terpretation. Each parable emphe.
&leen one main thought or teaeerng
and any encte a ,71.11' to in e rprvt ' I e •
tails of the figurative language leads
into difficulty.
The sons of tae kingdom -All be-
lieving dieciple,s.
39. The end of the world -Margin,
the consummation of the age.
41. All things that cause stumb-
ling, and them that do iniquity -
Not persons (ally, but things also
that are evil and a hindrance to
the final consummation of God's
plans shall be removed.
43. The righteous shine forth SS
the sum -Jesus doubtless had in
mind the prophec,y of Daniel : "Anel
they that arc wiee shall shine as
the brightness of the finthadnent;
, and they that turn many to righthe
-
•ousness, as the stars for ever auct
