This time the trouble has been with his Electrical Development Co., wliieh is supposed to bring Niagara power to 'Toronto to runthe street railway and all the factories which have notgone over to the.

It is a rood thing that ''R. J." carries hie troubles lightly. He tells a character Iitio story on himself. One evening he was driving home alone "up the hill" to his oomfortable residence beyond :the city liniit0; and therefore beyond the city tax. gatherer.. His big +touring motor oar caught up to a lady pedestrian labors. ously 'oldmhing the incline. Neighbor -like he asked her to take "lift," She accept- ed, and explained that she had been un- able . to • find room in a street car. 'If there's one man in Toronto°I de- test," she said vehemently. "it's that. man Fleming. Doyou know him?" The general manager confessed that he did. • "Do you know any good about 'him?" she netted. "No," said Mr. Fleming. dubiously, "not much." FLEMING'S ABILITY, There has always been - an impression that Sir William Mackenzie chose Flem- ing because of his "city ball influence," but this is doing the manager an injus• tic,. Doubtless the real reason of the choice was that Mr. Fleming in a manof groat executive capacity. such as the street railway really needed. Mr. Fleming is a product of Toronto - of the more or less despised east end. A, a burefoot lad he played on the muddy banks of the Don. Later he was care• taker of Parliament street Methodist church, and recently told of getting no at 4 o'clock on Sunday mornings to light the fires. When he grew up he started a coal and wood yard and then went in- to real estate. He took to municipal politica as a duck tnkea to water. He was elected Alderman, and did good work on the assessment committee. When it was announced he was to run for Mayor people thought it a joke. But he ran and was elected. That was in 1891, when he vanquished E. B. Osler, now Sir Edmund. Five times afterwards he was elected, and left the Mayor's chair to become Aseese- mont Oommissioner, thence to the street railway. Mr. Fleming has had reverses: he in- vitee them by hie energv and hie daring. He was caught financially in the land boom in the nineties, and he has suffered defeat at the polls: But he has a philo- sophical totaperament. The scars of 'the land smash are now being wiped out. for his salary le said to be in the neigh- borhood of 520,000 a year, with an occa- sional 910,000 bonus thrown in. THE BASEBALL PROSPECTS. When the Toronto. Baseball Club struck third plane in the Eastern League the croakers said theyhad reached their lim- it, Indeed, before the season opened bete at even money were made that the Leafe would not finish one, two, three. During the losing streaks some of tho criticism was directed at Manager "Joe" Kelly. They said he did not maintain discipline, and that he did not stipp)y the inspira- tion necessary to make hie team of all eters get together. But he may fool the critics properly by' the end of the season. When the team loses at home after a winning streak on the road the players' excuse is that the Island grounds, where they not only play, but Drenthe) and live, are damp and sive tlieni rheumatism. There is a growing feeling that profes- elone] baseball in the last few years hart been taken too seriously by the mows. =pare, and through them by the public. Baseball is all right. but after all it is chiefly a commercial proposition, based on human optimism. And it is rather too niucli to expect every one of eight teams to be a pennantwinner every year. A TAXPAYING MONTH, The last week of July is interesting to the Toronto taxpayer became he is then required to pay the first instalment of the year's tuxes. The other instalments fall due in September and November re- sneetively. A system of penalties ensures prompt payments, And for the last few days before tho final date the approach- es to the City Treasurer's- office are thronged with a stern and unenthusias- tic crowd of thrifty ratepayers. Financing. Toronto has become a seri- ous matter. The expenditure this year willrun well over 89,000,000,' a stun 'much beyond the requirements for tho ordin- ary activities of the government for the entire -Province of Ontario.

In Connectionwith this matter other than these of the reader. (By "Investor.") The market for municipal bonds has been pretty nuiet during the past few menthe.

Eng- land has been gobbling up everything that hasofferedfor a long time past, and. is now quietly eu,ioying a rest, while the proems of aselmilation proceede. In Canada there'. is no great slackening in the demands for municipals, although there are, of crowed, quiet spells, The quietness in England has resulted hi a lowering of prices in many ea,ies, and consequently there are many municipal bonds on the market at present.. selling considerably below the prices' of -even a year ago. It is quite possible that if the London market remains quiet Lora toeg period these prices may shade a• bit fur- ther. Happily, however, the probability of a long period of quiet in England is not likely, and as a natural corollary Prices are not likely to depress further. Probably after a period'of quletne0e the• prices will begin to move upward, for there is observable at present a tendency for money to cheapen, and with cheaper money bonds oannot fail to respond with an advance in price. Indeed. it appears quite likely that within the next two years some of the prices quoted at pre - do eentnowiwll appear as low as those of 4907 Many people do not like municipal bonds as investmcnte because they are not exciting and their ,yield is small. All of which is quite true. But the average man when he puts away his savings in a bank is not going to complain because there is no run on the institution in which he deposits his mosey, though, good. ness knows, it is exciting enough when it happens. He may complain, however, that the rate is too low, and in that he has his own remedy in his own hands -he can buy bonds. IL he buys industrial bonds he takes a certain amount of risk" varying in pro- position to the certain or uncertain char- acter of the business. Bonds of compan- ies supplying the necessaries of life, such ae the bonds of the large packing com- panies, flour mills, etc,. are, usually tweak - in" safe enough for the average man. To repay him for his slightly greater -risk those bonds pay a considerably better rate of interest. It he wants to take a lesser rick than the more speculative industrial bonds, but hesitates over buying the more sd.able ' industrials, he can purchase the debentures of western towns, which are by no means gilt-edged, yet are safe enough abort of a national calamity. But if he wants a high degree of safety Ca- nadian city debentures, railroad equip- ment bonds and bonds of most public ser- vice companies would answer his purpose. Indeed, if he were to buy municipals at the present time he would, as elo^osted above, stand a very . -cod chance of mak• MY a modest profit through an increase in the market value, of his holdings.

How may we define religion but as that which cloth Lind us, even as ligaments bind our hones, to the real thing, which is God 2 Only when we rea- lize that we are sons of God bound by tender yet strong ties of '`love divine all love excelling" have we ambition to live, undefiled, un- spotted lives. The undefiled are they that have kept from real evil. The.unspotted are those whose spi- ritual robes of utter whiteness are not .splashed with the mud and mire of actual sin. We see daily in others, and sometimes, thank God, if we, look at ourselves; a vision of wonderful holiness in the eye that beholds THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY; • we recognize the nobility, uncon- scious of itself, of those who have kept themselves innocent of the great offence of physical evil: Purity is more than avoiding im- purity—it is the vision of righteous- ness made one's own. To be unde- filed is to have a definite standard of personal responsibility which loves to express the very heart and mind of God. To keep unspotted is to have washed one's robes in the Precious Blood, that they may be representative of the grace and tender mercy of God, in giving,ex- terns] whitt;aiess of personal adorn- ment as ,013 outward and visible sign of the soul's horror of evil; and all this constitutes the attitude of self-respect, whichifirst of all, God -respect and then the apprecia- tion of respect of iself' as a .son of God. Faith` in God as a person is extended to faith in personality as of God anti 'reverence for person- alityevcrywhere, a s' divine,: yet hu- man; human, althouglydivine. Self- respect expresses itself in quiet dignity of carriage,- in fearless. glance of soul to soul; of glorious reverence for courage, TENDERNESS AND TRUTH. I't is the splendid assertion of ,a manhood of complete sincerity, con- scious of ability, by the power of God, to conform through free will to the will of God in the "glorious liberty of the children of God," and from all this follows the perfect sympathy which comes from realiz- ing the brotherhood of humanity in God and its weakness, instability and uncertainty apart from God, Yes, religion is the real thingin life when men who attempt to ex- pu'c&s ±3 are just sincere, pure and true, having "Holiness as an invin- cible shield." Service is the real expression of religion when it has in it the love of God to bring peace, pardon and power to others. Many, very many. hanger and thirst after the righteousness which, if we pos- sess, we may bring as a wonderful benediction to the weary and heavy laden, HENRY W. R. STAFFORD. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIOI1'AL LESSON, AUGUST 4. Lesson V. The worth of the King- dom. Matt. 13. 4.1--553. Golden Text, Matt. 6.33. Verse 44. Kingdom of heaven— The nature and importance of the Kingdom are emphasized in the fol- lowing parables which are recorded by Matthew 'only, rather than the method of its 'propagation as in the previous lessons. For fuller dis- cussions of the Kingdom of Heaven see Lesson Text Studies for June 2 and 9. Hidden in the field—Modern con- veniences, such as hanks and safety vaults, were unknown in that day. Treasures were buried for safe keeping. This finder of 'the trea- sure hid it again until he could arrange 'for the purchase of the field. In his joy --Or, for the joy there- of. Because of his discovery and appreciation of its value. All he hath—The discovered trea- sure was of more value than all his possessions, illustrating the super- lative worth of the Christian reli- gion as a personal possession. The blessings of the Kingdon are of vastly greater consequence than all that the world affords. Buyetll that field—It is not to be understood that every phase of the parable is worthy of imitation. There is scarcely any figure or illus- tration in which the analogy can bo successfully carried out in full de- tail. Only that part of the parable which has a direct bearing upon the truth to be taught is to be consid- ered. The transaction alluded to here eras itself' contrary to the ethi- cal teachings of Jesus, as the man who sold the field was not aware that it contained the treasure. It nevertheless -serves to teach the eagerness' with which one should seek to ,possess the Kingdom.. 46. -One Pearl—A single pearl, in comparison with which all others were of little worth. Having sold all he purchased the one. The seeker after spiritual truth must be willing to sacrifice every unworthy aim to that end. 47, A net—A dragnet. This par-; tittles kind of net was employed near the shore. It was of an oblong. .a•nd oftle length. Weights shape . great W g tt of lead were attached to the lower edge while the upper edge was sup- ported by corks. Reaching as it dict from the bottom of the lake to the surface, when drawn toward the shore, - it, gathered every fish. which happened to be in its path, Every kind—Good and bad, and every, sort of each, illestrating, as does the.parable of the tares,verses 24-43, that the church on earth in- cludes all classes. 49. End of the world --Or,' the consummation of the :age. Com- pare Dan. 12. 13; B.eb, 9. 26, Since' the Kingdom is eternal, the ending of one period would mean the be- ginning of. another. Even 'in the event of the literal destruction of the, there would he a "new, earth" (Rev. 21. 1), The significant point is that it shall . he a time of judgment. Sever—Separate. This is to be done by angels. not men. the infer- ence being that the separation shall he lust aaid'complete . 50. 'Furnace of fire —Compare verse 40. Gnashing of teeth -An indication of disappointment and rage. .52, Every scribe—Used in the sense of a religious teacher. Scribes - were' also copyists of the Scrip tures: Disciple to the kingdom --The. Kingdom of heaven is here personi- fied asa teacher- Whoever would teach the principles of the King- dom must adopt those peseserlos and imbibe their spirit: The true Christian readier is to be charge- tcrized by the method and spirit of Jesus. - A householder --One who main- tains a well -kept house, .' faithful housekeeper, because of frugality and thrift, 70 prepared to serve an unexpected guest with lav- ish supply, so the true. Christian teacher is ever prepared both to present the fundamental principles of the Kingdom and to apply the same as need might suggest. 53.

A despatch from Vancouver says 1 Two robbers, one a short and the other a tall man, held up the Northern Crown Bank at Central Park, six miles out of Vancouver, at 10 o'clock on Thursday evening. They had been loitering in the vici- nity for half an hour, having come there with a horse and rig. They covered Manager C. C.
