THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, SEPT. 22. Lesson XII. --The feeding of the fife thousand, Mark 6. 30-44. Golden text, John 6. 35. Verse N. The apostles -The lit- eral meaning of the word "apostle" is "one Bent with orders." The name is applied to the twelve whom Jesus selected from among his numerous disciples. It is de- scriptive of their official work ra- ther than of their discipleship. The names of the twelve are recorded by Luise (6. 12-16) and Matthew, (10. 2-4). Gather themselvei together unto Jesus -After they returned from their missionary tour described in Mark 6. 7-13. 31. Corn° ye , . and rest, a while -The necessity for rest is partially shown in the next clause. This is hardly the full reason, however, ae Jesus sought intervals of quiet fel- lowship with the twelve in which he might more carefully prepare them for their future work. Mat- thew gives an additional reason, namely, the profound grief which overcame Jesus when he heard of the death of John the Baptist (14. 13). 32. A desert place -Not a sandy waste, but simply an uninhabited region. The place inentioned was probably back froin the northeist- ern, hore of the Lake of Galilee, not far froin Bethsaicla (Luke 9. 10). Their point of departure was probably Capernaum. 33. On foot -Or by land. Outwerit them -The multitude ar- rived before Jesus and the twelve. The distance around the northwest- ern shore was little farther than the course across and perhaps even shorter than thal followed by the small sailing boat. 34. He came forth -Out of the boat. John's account differs, how- ever, stating that Jesus had spent tonne time in 'the mountaii before emerging into the presence of the waiting multitude (John 6. 3-5). As sheep not having a shepherd -This unusually strong 'figure makes clear the hapless condition of the people. Likesheep, they were dependent upon the guidance of shepherds. The scribes and Pharisees, who were the religious leaders, were themselves blind to spiritual tenth, so that the people were left to wander aimlessly with- out spiritual guidance. 35. The day was now far spent - It was lite in the afternoon of the same day on which they had arriv- ed at the desert place. We need not, therefore, think 'of his dis- course to the multitude on this oc- casion as having been an unusually long one. 36. Somewhat to eat -Le their haste to follow Jesus they gave lit- tle thought as to where their quest would lead them, so that they had neglected to provide food, 37. Two hundred shillings' worth -The reference is to the silver de- natius, a Roman coin' which was more nearly eqt uivalento the Eng- lish shilling than any coin with which we are familiar. Its actual value was between sixteen and sev- enteen cents. It represented a day's wages in the time of Christ, so that its purchasing power was much greater. The question repre- sents the impossibility of provid- ing for such a multitude, as so large an amount was beyond the meager purse of the twelve. 38. Five, and two fishes -An amount sufficient for about one person. 39. Sit down by cornpanies-Or recline "in parterres," a term used for flower beds of many colors, per- haps suggested to the writer -by the colored clothing of the different groups. Green grass -This realistic toueh of Mark's story indicates his habit of close observation and love of the pictorial. It also makes known to us the season of the year, which was spring, about the time ofthe passover (John 6. 4), since in Pales- tine the grass is green for only a short period following the winter rains. 40. In ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties-Fferein as suggested the or- derly arrangement of the people to render convenient the distribution of the food. Gereach describes the formation as follows: "Two long rows of one hundred, and a sh.,rter one of fifty persons. The fourth side remained -after the manner of the table of the ancients -empty and open." • 43. Twelve basketfuls -Ordinary Oriental traveling bags. Inasmuch as we are led to believe that Jesus and the twelve carried as litle '`Iuggage" as possible on their tours (Matt. 10. 9, 10), we may sup- pose that these bags were secured from among the people, many of whom were on their way to Jerusa- lem to attend he feast of the pass - over (John 6. 4). There was -one "basket" for each apostle. 44. Five thousand men --Not in- cluding women and children (Matt. 14. 21). Don't attempt to light your path through, life by burning the candle at both ends. When one is inclined to worry the remark of an old lady should be recalled :-"Yes, dcaries ; I'd have had an aaviel heap of trouble in my time if rnest of it had hap- pened." 'You say you are in love with Mies Baggs ?' "I'm sure I am.'' But I can's see anything attrac- tive about her."

SILVER CAMPS REVIVING.. All the hews from the northland serves to ethengthen the optimism that has been developing during recent years. The known agricultural area is widening. In- stead of 16,000,000 acres in the °lee belt the figure has now risen to 20,000,000 aores. Settlement is ,low, but the point is rap- idly being reached when it -will be °heal:. er to clear New Ontario farina then it 'will be to buy prairie lands. Then it ought to be eaey to divert the westward stream of imtnigation to the nortii. The mining industry is making programs. The news from Porcupine continues to be en- couraging in a zaoderate way. One mine le understood to have produced a quarter of a million dollars of gold up to the first of September. But the feature of the summer's work has been the revival of the silver camps. In Cobalt twenty- three properties have been reopened. And in Elk Lake and Goveganda operations -are under way in teventy-two camps. And, doubtlese, there will be a freoh crop of wild eats for the unwary. ' naive UNIONS IN ONTARIO. The annual meeting in Guelph of the Dominion Trades and Labor Council, held in Ontario for the first time in several Years, hail served to call attention to the Progreso and nresent strength of the Trades Union movement in this province. While the organization ie strong numert. °ally and has secured in some trades an almost masterful position it is not with- out its weaknesses. Tt would be more exact to say that it bas not yet taken advantage of its opportunitiee for the improving of the condition of the great body of workers. Up to the Present in Canada, the great objective of the trades unions has been to increase wages, And the one weapon they have used for this minim bas been Sloe crude and ofteadangerous and cruel form of warfare known as the strike. In innumerable 0EI805 strikes or threats of strikes have been suceeseful, and it would be impossible to estimate the ad- vances in wages the unions have to their Credit by this means. Possibly in many trades they have doubled the rate of pay they would be receiving if there were no unions. In other trades they have felled, and the curious fact hi that in the strong- ly unionized city of Toronto many of the largest industries are absolutely non-un- ion, or open ehops. The employers in some of these industries have no obieetion to high wages, and voluntarily pay the union scale or higher, but it le also unfortu- nately the case thet soma of the °there .08.9 absolutely inadequate wagee. There are many competent workmen in Toronto to -day, working 10 Ileum,' a day, receiving not more than $10.00 a week, If there is a family of any size, with no other wage earners in it. thie means, with rent' and the cost of clothing and provisions what they are, that these people are on the ragged edge of penury. Compare such WattOB With thOSO that prevail in such a trade as the printers, who are at present negotiating a new scale and have refueed to accept a minimum rate of $21.00 a week for an eight-hour day. WORKINGMEN POOR POLITICIANS. • Some Of the labor leaders are coming to realize that the question ot wages, while of vital importance, is but one of mane things which are 'of the 'utmost Importance to the working classes' ma - tonal condition. The • question -.of land values in its relation to rent is one of these. So is the question of public, owner - able of natural monopolies. So is the question of taxation, including that most 'powerful and all embracing ougine of taxation, the tariff. These things affect the earning power of the workers just as much as the rate of wages he receives. But the strike ip 'melees as a weapon to grapple with them. And so far the labor unions of Canada, knowing only the strike ae a weapon, have done preetioally no- -thing toward grappling with them prob. lame. The labor man needs a neW wea- pon, He scarcely knows Yet what it is. He realizes clearly only that there is need of something, that conditions are rssidly etratifying into a form which does not bode best for the classes goner. ally. Some day he will see that what he needs is political organization. But at present the efforts".in the Province to or- ganize a Workihgraan's political party have fallen flat. That party's. dependable strength in the city of Toronto is pro- bably not more than a few huudred vot, 800. HIER HARDIE SCENTS TRODBLE, Kier Hardie, the powerful but somewhat intemperate Scoteh esociallet labor leader, O former collier, but the match in mental equipmettt for political leaders anywhere, has been telling his Canadian brothers some plain facts along these Him. He deelared that in some respects privilege has already become entrenched in Oan- ada in a Way that it Neill take genera - tine to rectify, if it eau ever be real - lied. No doubt one reason organized labor has been slow to agitatee in political (plea tions is that well organized labor hae been Ao suceessful in keeping its wages up to a good standard, that it, has thought the other mattere were of trivia,' import - MOOS. Besides, an some of the xnost im- portant i8BOOB labor men 8,re by no means united in their opieMn. A good example is the tariff question. At the moment some of the most forceful men in the un- ions in Toronto are free traders, o41 at least, low tariff men. But while the union men of the city would follow theee leaders over a precipice if a strike were involved' It is doubtful if more than a small frac- tion. would follow them 1,1 a free Made camnaign, audging by concrete results the, labor men of Toronto arei strongly IwOnteuetrie°snilt of- the Canadian labor men's large attention to the question of wages has been to arouse against him sOme re- sentinent on the part of the great army of other workers and salaried people gen. erally who are disposed to accept the statement that much of the highcost of living numb be charged to the unione with their unending demands for higher WOO'S.

THE ORIENT AND OCCIDENT The Eternal Fatherland of 06d and the Universal Brotherhood of Man I have on my desk one of the bells from the temple of heaven taken from the Orient, to which I hope it will be returned some day. I often feel that it is not out of tune with the other bells of that other heaven in the occidental mind and called Christian. Indeed I arn euro that the full °horded music of the real Temple of Heaven will never come until we have the tones of the bells of faith which spun(' in the oriental mind. All great religions have been born in the East and they must be inter- preted in the air of their birthplace. Christianity has suffered very much from the chill and superlative ac- tivity, the overworking passion for exploit in the western mind. Chris- tianity is a gift from the Orient to the Oecident; and we will never un- derstand some of its finest passages until it is once more seen and heard in the atmosphere OUT OF WHIOII IT CAME. - You have to take a pearl sometimes back into an ocean cave, or at least to a pool at the edge of the sea out of which it came, in order to re- vitalize it, and then the iridescence etertles into glorious life to the eye. ' At the World's Congress of Re- ligions representatives oftheir re- ligion and of ours joined together in the only prayer in which we could all join, and that is our Lord's Prayer, v.hich begins when we say "Our Faiher." We see no peace either for Me mind of the in- dividual or for aur nations except in the realization of this vision. There must be a supreme Father- hood above us all, and this is its logical result, namely, a universal human 'brotherhood on the earth. Men of the Orient know that Jesus has their secret, He begins his re- forms first with ideas, with think- ing and not with things. As WO need their atmosphere and point of view to understand this oriental Christ, in his method.of progress, so they need his mastery and guid- ance to take what is the result of their breeding and contemplation and the conclusion of any noble pursuit after the Absolute and make it real. The order of progress, in the mind of Jesus, was first, "the new heavens," and then "the new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness." First a dream, then a duty, and then a cleed ; first the far -away vis- ion, then a conviction to be obeyed; then the consecpient and blessed reality. First a true idea of Goa, and ultimately the working out of that, A TRUE IDEA OF MAN, Al] beneficeet revolutions which have enlarged and strengthened the privileges and opportanities of hu- manity have come and succeeded and left their unvanishing blessiege because of the invincible power of this principle. It has overturned thrones of boastful privilege' and it has created constitutionalgov- ernments upon the ruins of tyran- nies. It has crowned the wrecks of old autocue:cies by forms of civilize - tion, young and self -respectful. There is not a single throne on earth forgetful' 61 the printiple of the eternal fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of mad, which will not speeelily be dissolv- ed in the morning time and the sure triumph of this idea. • The mere forms of republican institutions,' the gigantic experiments of demo- cracy, will fail as surely and pass away as enchanting dreams, if we neglect to put into.legislation, into our commerce, into our edueation, and into our temples of politics and religion the sovereign idea that God is the Father of all, and that all men are brethren. -Rev.

Prices LOWOP than for Many Years-Like- Ilhbod el Further Reduction in Opinion of Experts Is Remote -Many Bargains on Market. The articles contributed by "Diveritor" ere for tbe sole purpose of guiding 'pros. peetive inveetore, and, it poesible, of eav, ing them from losing motley through plaeing it In "wild.cat" enterprises, The impartial and reliable character el the information may be relied upon. The writer of them articles and the publisher ot this paper have no intermits to serve in connection with this matter other thats those of the reader. (By Investor.) The apathy of the London market for Canadian munieipal debentures has con - Untied all slimmer, and now with the be- ginning of autumn there appeare to be no improvement M the situation. The result has been that such municipalities as have recently wine on the market with bonds have been forced to sell them at abnormally oheap prices or have had to seek temporary relief through financing by mettus of short-term -notes or treasury bills. Investors, therefore, start Ude fahI season with numeroue opportunities for purchasing cheap municipal debentures or occasional chances to purchase seouri- ties maturing from six to twelve months ef fairly high yield, but secured by the asseta of excellent municipalities. Just this week, for example, one house is of- fering one year notes of n. suburb of Van- couver at a price to return the inveetor live and one-half per cent, on his MoneY. Many of the larger elides of the middle West are now returning from 45-4 to 51-4 Per tent. -a fact that has not taken place since the bad year of 1907. The question that many investore are asking is not whether debentures are cheap at present, but whether or net they may not become even cheaper. Tbie question le not easy to answer and I can only express an opinion based on the *Pinions of reanY of the Most expert bond men in Canada. But while their opinions aro well worth having they are unfortunately hampered by not being gifted with prophetie powers and their knowledge of the hitt= 3B only that besed upon probabilities. What, tbey think 14 this: The inarket has now reached POillt where debentures are returning as high a rate of income its they have within the past fifteen years or morc. General conditions are excellent, and prices are unquestionably • attractive. Therefore, although London may not again come in- to the market for some time to ,conie the absorbtive power of Canada and the Statem will prove eufficient to keep the market from • going any lower. Tide, coupled with the Met that municipaliiiee will considerably moderate their financi- al requirements for the next few months will probehly keep prices at about the Present level. Any resumption of buying on the part of London, however, will soon exhaust the present supply of securities and, the result will be a beginning to an upward movement that will tend to replace prices somewhere near the levels of a Year or eighteen months ago. It cannot be staid that Ode feeling was general a few months ago, but so fax as I can learn the above reflects pretty well the general opinion now Municipal de- bentures are cheap and there is ,a fair demand for the bargains. Should the de. mend follow the unual tenure and come up to the average enquiry of October and November there should be no queation of the stability of the present level of pria es and possibly even 5,41 advance in same 00800. At all events, if one has th 19. yes; at the pr -' e -et ti.ee thee ere many tinqueetionable bargain:1 in municipal de- benturee, and the likelihood of thene bar- gaies telling further in price le remote. As one hard-headed inveator remarked the other day:- "It is only a beginner who meets always to buy at the bottom and se)] at. the top and thle is near enough the bottom to suit me.
