, We have heard many complaints
on the problem of second-hand books;
and they are problems.. 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-

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.

British Columbia Pioneer
Hale At 80
The following appeared in a recent
issue of The Toronto Star. 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.
•

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.

ADDRESS: Rev C. E. Dougal , Ph. D.
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!"

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.
