V. 5, The first four verses are given to the religious duty of .almsgiving;: three verses, 16-18, are devoted to the eecopd -act, of worship; but eleven verses are gieen,to prayer, showing that this last is the most important of la Ulm Outw ltdacts of religion. No person San: keep';lii.s. religious life fresh and strong, who,does notprectice the art` of prayer. Jesus warns then against hypocrisy. If people mance a parade of their prayers in order',to win the'reputation o£ being religious,. then' they may .receive the Toward of. human praise,.: but they do. not get their reward from God, V. 6. The. second warning is. against: unreality. If people repeat a footle without: putting their heart 'dr -soul into it, hoping.that this w':1 be heard,. 'they have a totally wrong -conception of God. Mere repetitions imply that God is a hard, exacting ruler, demand - ling penance, but if God be our Ioving Father, pray u must be a form of communion or 'Min -Venation,' in which eu souls find true delight. V. 8. We do not need to pray in order to inform' God of cur wants. "Prayer is the human -side of inter- conununion with God." We learn to see how ,dependent we are upon Min, and. how blessed it to know him. V. 9. Now begins the best known of all prayers. No sayings of Jesus are more universally used than these, In the Lord's .Prayer we have the mo- tives, the model and the aims of all true prayer. It consists of seven sentences. The fest is the address, while the remaining six fall into two division. Of ':hese the first three con- cern the Father, while the retraining ones leaf with human needs.,,,The ad- dress is of infinite significance. The nature of God determines all religion. How different are the prayers which a worshipper of Moloch would make from those which .arise out of their. assurnnce'that God la our Father! V. 10. The three petitions to he made concerning God are (',) the hal- lowing of his nay , by which the wor- shipper expresses his desire that no- thing be done to bung discredit on the holy name. The opposite of this would be to profane his name. Every wrong action done by a child reacts upon the ,name of the father; (2) The desire that God's kin idom may be extended; and (3) that his will be done on earth. These petitions rife out of a sense of the sovereignty and goodness of God;; and they take for granted that God 15 able to do whatever he feels best, on earth as well as in heaven. These pe. titions show that God's interests must conte first. V. 11, The first petition for our. selves concerns the neede of the body, We cannot live without bread, and we hereby aelcuowledgo God's power and readiness to give us what ve treed. Vs. 12, 13. The two remaining re- quests are spiritual, at.d show that we have continually to ask for forgive- ness, and for protection against the assaults of edi. The prayer concludes with the doxology, 11, LOVING TIM PATBER, vs. 19-21. V, 19. While it is necessary that we shotld have enough to meet the needs of the body, the danger with most people is that they devote too much thought to earthly possessions, and Jesus now warns them that they must not love wealth. Ile uses the metaphor of the bank, and shows hove uncertain are all enrtbfy treasures. The only bank that is absolutely safe is that in heaven, which means that if we love God and do his will we have that permanent possession of; charac- ter and life which cannot be destroyed. To love God`is the truest wealth. III..•91EKING elm HINGDObt, vs. 31-33.. V. 81. Two of the chief concerns of mel are food and clothing, and while Jesus does not say that we should neglect these necessary things, he lays teem his disciples certain duties in this regard. They must not bo so worried over them a to lose all pease o4 hind, V', 32. They trust trust the good will`of their heavenly Father, who is well aware of their needs, and who is willing and able to help, • V. 33, They mat seek, first of all, other things.

Use Carrier Current System The center current system of the Canadian National Telegraph carried the broadcadt from •coast to coast. -Foe the first 'time since the, epeclal dia- mond jubilee broadcast of 1927 there was a continuous chain from Halifax: to Vancouver: From CANS to- CNRV the 8,000 -mile expanse of Canada was tied together by nearly 15,000 miles of wires, enabling -even the farthest north listeners in Canada„ those above. the Arctic Circle to within 800 miles of the North Pole, to bears the opening message of; the London con• ferenoe by Xing George. The line-up of stations to join in this big •chain constitutes the regular Canadian National Railways network ofthirteen stations and those stations which have' fine- time to. time been allied with thla•largest of Canadian neteiorlee. ' The primary stations of the chain tied in Vancouver,, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Saskatoon; Regina, Mani- toba, Winnipeg, Ontario, London, Quebec, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, New Brunswick, Moncton, Nova Sco- tia, Halifax, also Chatham, Hamilton and Waterloo, in Ontario; Yorktown, Saskatchewan and Brandon, in Mani- toba, and others also tied in. The broadcast itself was one of the rare opportunities for Canadians to hear the voice of the ruler of the Bri- tish Empire. It also had special sig- nificance for Colonel the Hon. James L. Ralston, Minister of National De- fence for Canada and the Dominion's chief representative at the confer- ence was the second of tlie Dominion. speakers on the list, his place being seventh on the program. The broadcast going out over the garrier current lines of the Canadian National Telegraphs did not interfere with the handling of commercial messages along those lines, since ten messages can travel at the same time along the wires of this system. Prac- tically, every independent station which desired to joie the network were.. able to do so without leasing special telephone lines, except such as are required with the city to con- nect onnest the station with the telegraph terminal. At the same time telephone communicati"u is possible across the continent for the engineers in check- ing up the volume of the -Broadcast as it is fed out from Montreal. This circuit, incidentally, is the first tele. phone circuit to Gross Canada cpm• pletely within the (Dominion's bonen daries, the telephone lines of the Bell system not spasming the entire 3)o. minion. When the King rose in the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords to open the five -power naval disarmament con- ference, thb monarch had the largest audience of any speaker in the history of the world. The British Broadcast- ing Company's transmitters, the Cana- dian beam service, the trans-Atlantic telephone and the Continental tele- phone services were used.•to carry the royal message of peace into millions of homes throughout she wide world. The leing's speech an.: subsequent addresses 'y representatives of the foreign powers and_ constituents of the British Empire were rebroadcast to France, Germany, Norway, Den- mark, Sweden, Hungary, Austria, Czesitoslovaicia, which were reached via relay by phone from 13ritishBroad- casting Company's headquarters at Savoy Hill to Berlin, the central point, where the European phone systems were linked up for the occa- sion.

' Those oases, however, are usually the limit of exception to the tradition. Lately, however, Socialist Ministers aud.back members have broken the unwritten rule. Miss Margaret Bonfield, the Mines - ter of Labor, read the greater part of her speech introducing the Unemploy- ment Iznsurance Bill from typescript. It was a very clearly stated exposi- tion xposition of the Bill which did the Miele - ter credit, but it was read. Mr. Ar- . a thur Henderson, the Foreign Secre- tary, reads a great deal, but he does it very cleverly. Lately he has done more extempore speaking, and has greatly improved his style. Perhaps the greatest offender of all against the tradition which the older members would enforce was the lady who recently read almost every word of a speech from a sort of loose -loaf ledger—and d1d not conceal. it. Pays Twice for Accident Shanghai.—With the question of much to the lore, the Foreign Com- nrunity of Shanghai is intensely in - toasted la' the experience which A. E, Reisinger, an employee of the Ford Motor Company, had with the Chinese police here, Mr. Reisinger works at the assemb- ling plant in the Chinese city and lives in the International Settlement. Three days ago as he. was coming home in the evening the fender of his oar etraek a beggar who darted out into the road asking alms. Mr, Reis- inger took the man to a hospital In the International Settlement. There were no injuries and the beggar was discharged the next morning with 520 compensation in his pocket. But it happens that Mr. Reisinger le a Gorman citizen and had no ex- traterritorial rights. In order, as he thought, to avoid complications with the Chinese authorities he drove to the Chinese police station on his way. to work add reported the accident and the discharge and compensation of the beggar. When the Chinese police found that. he had no extraterritorial protection they immediately confiscated' his automobile and clapped him into a filthy cell where he was kept for twenty-four hours and was denied the right to communicate with his family his Consul or his attorney. He obtain" ed release only by paying $20 to his captors. Good Memories There are, of course, several excel- • lent extempore speakers on. both sides of the House, and while none can ex- cel xcel the Iate Mr. Bonar Law in mak- ing long speecheswithout reference to notes, there are some who Memel" very neatly to his great skill. Her. Neville Chamberlain,. the ex t Minister of Health, is one. Mr. Wile ston Churohil is another, although it is said that his principal- speeches are. learnt off by heart before he comes' to the House, Mr,'A. M. Samuel, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in the late Government, made more than one intricate ilnauctal speech without a brief. • Mr. William Graham, the President of the Board of Trade, can recite strings of complicated figures without a reference to his notes, and Mr. Ar- ee thur Greenwood, MInister 02 Health, can do much the same thing with knotty legal points and clauses of a' Bill.
