When you need a new book, there is always some wretch who appears in the quiet corridors' of our little school with the offer of a second-hand book. Rather, after this manner: .You cone out of the roans .remarking that you must not forget that new book, and.imme diately the rifeketeer slinks up and asks menacingly if'you wouldn't like to buy a 'book second-hand. It was his own; he adds and you :can take it from him as straight goods that, it is as good as new and that you can have • it for half-price: Now at this point, if' you are wise, yoii' will give this 'Al -Capone 'a push in the, face and walk away with the unanswer- able remark "Gnats to you, sir!'. bum if .You are one ofthe uninitiated you :will waver slightly end tell him to bring it to school. to -morrow. At' this he will Iaegh scornfully and say that there's plenty of guys that will be glad to go down to the house to get a ba tgain like this, as which' the inno- cent one gets reckless and pays the 'brigand spot cash, -and walks around to the house to collect the book: When he has gots it jn his. possession and inscribed his name in a prominent .place, he will find that the notes at. the back are missing. In a passion he flings the snitched, thing on• the floor at which the cover cones oft and several pages'faI: out. A,sadder and a wiser man, he determines to smash the dirty chiseller next time he.sees him, but all the time he knows that he would have to get twenty more of his size .ta accomplish the feat, so he wavers between learning some jiusjitsui and avenging himself, or being a Christian and remember- ing the one about loving your enem- ies, The latter course is usually fol-, towed, and the only thing he is rich- er in is esexerience. Don't let these shysters deceive you with their glib tongues; as old old friend• Gordon Sinclair remarks, "Jesse James at least wore a mask." The quality of mercy is not strain- ed," the Second Formers recite. "It droppeth like the 'gents:e rain from heaven.» and so does the water. As a matter of fact, it is the sinks in the Chemistry Lab. trying their hand at a -little smart-alec and it dripped through onto the heads of the suffer- ers. There is a skeleton in every man's closet, they say, and when the cupboards of the lab. were opened there was no, skeleton, only a gentle little trickle f water, which babbled merrily down on Second Form, It is only fair to say that Second Form babbled, merrily too. Does the road wind up -hill all the way? inquires 01N'istina Rosetti. Yes to ,the very end, we answer bitterly, and the places where the snow isn't too deep to wade through are so slip- pery that you can't walk on then, and then they find fault with the school boy because he whines. And as for creeping like a snail is con- cerned, it's the only way to be realty safe. You never heard of a snail taking a nasty tumble and breaking an antenna (if they are antenna?) did .you, now? If you're too proud to imitate the lowly snail, we point otit to you that pride goeth before a Sall, and help you up again. Well, that's all, We' have left something out, but can't think what it is, and besides it's almost eleven o'clock. If you have any complaints, let Us know. The typewriter is get- ting vicious again se that we bid you S'long before it sprains our wrist or anything.

When asked if he would take the job he said, "give me a rifle and a good fast horse and I'll do -it" It was then,that his rifle practice proved mst 'valuable.

The per- son sketched will be remembered by some of the older people hereabouts: Vancouver.—He's been a resident of British Columbia for 00 years and of Vancouver for 44. He was 80 recently , and up until that time never had his dame in the paper. He is Charles McIntyre and just to show thitt his four score years rest lightly. on Itis shoulders, he did a' slumber of lively steps on his birthday. "Pit 80 years young and fit as a fiddle," he said with a laugh., Mr. McIntyre, who resides, with his daughter, is caretaker at a C. C. F. hall in Fairview and the C.C.F.ers gave hint a party. "We had cake and everything," he said. McIntyre is not only a pioneer but also one of the provinces earliest musicians, having been a member or Victoria's first band under Professor Haines. The only other survivor, is Tom Desay, evho played the big drum. He is proud of the fact that he was a member of the band which played for Lord Dufferin when he toured B.C. in 1887. "Lord Dufferin ,refused to go through the rebel arch, on Fort St. on that occasion," he recalled. Born in Goderich, Ont,, Mr, 'Me- Intyreset out for the' west in 1876. He went to Sacramento by way at. Detroit, Chicago, Omaha and Stock• ton, and after waiting there a week he went to ,Victoria on SS Pacific. "The Pacific -went down 90 miles off Cape Flattery on the return trip and only two were saved. Tho vessel. is -reported to have had a million dol- lars in gold on board which she was taking to California Bron 'the Cas- sias gold rush," he said, , He arrived in Victoria on Novem- ber 1, 1875, 'and there ,he plied his trade as a carpenter for four years, building carriages. "We used to whipsaw the lumber and -make the 'carriages by hand in those days," he observed. In 1881 his wanderings took him into the Cariboo, where he lived at Yale and Lillooet. Later he went to Clinton, where. he ' operated a blacksmith shop. There he met Miss Minerva Mc- Lellan. Of New Brunswick, niece. of Stephen Tingle, veteran stage line owner, wheel he married. When news of the Ytnlon gold strike reached' the Cariboo he decide `to try his luck yup north. He arrived in Careross, then Cariboo' Crossing in 190o, and enter- ed 'into partnership with three men btuilding river boats to convey the miners down the river. After the war his partners continued to prospect in the north, and they uncovered a .claim 'n ,which lie still' has faith. ' Mr. McIntyre credits his, good iealth to the fact, he never drinks or smokes. "My mother lived until she was 83, and my father until he was 86 and I have d' good chance to beaL them,": he said. • I ,have in.Christ Jesps our Lord, I die daily, If after the manner of Y e men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantagethit• nie? ,If the dead. are' not raised, let us eat'atid drink, for we die.

But, some man will', say, How. "are the dead raised tip? and with what bbody do they conte? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is "not quickened, except it die. And that which thou sowest, 'thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance' of wheat, or of some other grain : but God giveth it a body, as it hath pleased him, and to every seed Isis own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one kin)l of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the • glory of the celestial is one and the glory of 'the terrestial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and 'another glory, 61 themoon, and another glory of the stars for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resur- rection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in nicer - motion : it is sown in: dishonour;. it is' raised in glory : it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power : it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 'There is a natural body, and there is •a: spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul:. the last Adam was made quiekening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that„ which it natural; and afterwards that which is spiritual The first man is of the' earth, earthy : the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy : and' as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. + And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption, Behold, I'show you a mystery : We. shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead -shall be 'raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible •must put on incorruption. and this mortal must put' on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this moral shall have put on im- mortality;' then shall we brought to .pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 0 death, where is thy sting? 0 r grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth. us the victory through one. Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved •brethren, be ye steadfast, umnoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. PRAYER: t Rev. Major K.

Dr. ,Dougan took for his text tine words: "Be thou faithful Minto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." He spoke of the rejoic- ing all over the Empire last stunner when we celebrated the silver jubilee of the King's reign, of the sorrow and anxiety felt when news came of his illness and how until the end came many had clung to the hope that he might recover. "No monarch ever -received so many tokens of veneration," said the speaker, "nor has the passing of any been so Universally mourned." "Faithful unto death." It is our privilege this morning to re- member such a King—a Ring whotrusted his people and whom his people trusted., He placed himself upon a watch tower to protect his peoples! interests. Whether they harvested crops on the prairies, gathered rice in India or made pottery in Lancashire, he cared for their interests with a fatherly care." He spoke of the King's modesty; of his joy in the love of his- people, so warmly manifested in the jubilee year, his simple, Imes-' sunning earnestness. "He was a plain, unveneered man of solid character, a Man among men, who never posed." He called to mind the surprise of. a German visitor hi Loudon • last summer, when, the people were cheering and lauding the Xing on his jubilee, and they even sang, and he enjoyed hearing them, "For • he's a jolly good fellow." "This is the loveliest thing I ever aew," the German is quoted as saying, "Never, never in Germany dare we sing such songs to our king or ruler!" He spoke of the difficulties of his reign, and how manfully and wisely he met each problem, of his devotion to the Empire during the years of the war, although he was always a man of peace; of his accident, when he was thrown from his horse while in France, when his injuries were much more severe than five at tise time were allowed to know or guess. He spoke of the night a fortnight ago, when the king lay sleep- ing in his palace, with the storm lashing against the windows. The sleeper awakes and stirs. He is speaking and they bend down to listen. What is he saying? The sick than can only whisper but -this is what he says: "How is it with the Empire?" "These memorable words will go down through the Years of history," declared the. preacher.. "Faithful even unto death," "Once more the King has ridden along London's streets, and a-' gain there are throngs to watch .his progress, but they are silent throngs. Heads are bared to the raw winds; strong men and delicate women wipe not the tears which roll down their•. Cheeks, for 'they love ed him who used to ride forth on yonder steed which follows him with stirrups reversed and saddle empty. Their King is dead, but his soul has gone to that place not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. He was 'faithful unto ,death and has received the crown of life.' The King is dead: Long Live the King!" PRAYER—For King :Edward VIII. Rev. K. McGotm. HYMN—Nearer My God to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, • Nearer to Thee! Even though it be a cross '• That raiseth me, Still all my song would. be, 'Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!' Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone clown, Darkness be over me, '.. My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Thera let the way appear Steps unto heaven; Ail that Thou send'st to me, 0BENEDIOTION; 10 mercy given; Angels to beckon Inc Nearer, ny God, to Thee, , Nearer to Thee! Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to 'be Nearer, my .God, to Thee, Nearer •to Thee! Or if, on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and' stars .forgot, .Upwards I fly; Still all my song shall be, 'Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!' Anion. Rev. C. W. D. Cosens, M.A., B.D.
