Ix, on linear—The Bible is every - whole and always en the side of good ;govt/:nment, the kited of government that restrains evil doors and. promotes -and guards the welfare of the people. 'tA wise king seattereth the wicked, "A Icing that altteth on the throne of judgment Scatteroth away all evil with his :yea." '"Mercy and truth preserve Lo king: And his throne is upholdeit by mercy." Take away the wicked f:o"' before the king; And his throne shall be established :n righteousness." , In such passages as the above the wise man in Proverbs declares the benefits of a just and merciful . ule; 'The state is but the enlarged family. Just as parents exorcise authority in the home, so must the appointed ruler, or rulers, in the state. The great prob- lem is to find and establish the best rulers with the best and most effective kind of 1 government.. And equally great and difficult is the problem of how to get rid of bad or incompetent rulers. "Efficiency in government," nays a recant writer, "is an indispensable tool for social progress. But it must be another kind of efficiency than is com- monly admired. It must be efficiency in caring for all the interests of all the people, in giving expression to the common vital desides •of the whole vommunity. Sucha government is the people doing together in all justice and brotherhood the things they can- not do apart." Such n government the good citizen will respect asd obey. 1. DUTY TO CHUROH AND 5TATE, Mark 12: 1347; Rom. 13: 1-7; 1 Peter 2: 13-17, The Pharisees and the Herodians sought to entangle Jesus in their fi ":ce party strife. Tho Pharisees and their followers were Jewish nationalists Alto disliked 'Roman rule- and were unwilling to pay the Roman tax which was forced upon thein. 'Extremists of that party would have gone to war rather than pay. The Herodians sup- ported Herod Antipas, who was de- pendent upon, the favor of Rome for his throne and kingdom, and would therefore have regarded refusal to pay the tribute money as treason to be punished by death. If Jesus said yes to their question (12: 14), the Fhar- isees would denounce him to the people as a friend of their oppressors, If he said no, the Herodians would accuse him before the authorities. Jesus knew their hypocrisy, and, as so often in the controversies which his oppon- ents raised, he lifted the whole matter to the much higher plane of duty. Let Caesar have his due; let Cod have his. What you rightfully owe the Roman government,'; ay. What you rightfully owe to God, pay that also. The very fact that they handled Ro- man coins indicated a relationship and an obligation. But the duty to God was, and is, always supreme., The thirteenth chapter of Romans contains a series of lessons in good citizenship. Paul, himself a Roman citizen (Acts 22: 27), writing to Ro- man Christians,, counsels submission to their rulers. Governments in their origin are ordained of God. It would not be correct to interpret what Paul says here as establishing the divine right of any government, good or bad, or as condemning resistance to an evil and unjust rule. But he does say that a recognized and accepted gov- ernment ought to be obeyed.. For rulers are not a terror to good works,, but to bhe evil, Paul had himself been protected from harm more than once by the Roman authorities. The ruler, he says, is the minister of God. The king, or judge, or magistrate, who recognizes this fact and all that it implies, will surely seek God's guidance that he may be ,. true min- ister. As for the subject it is better that he should obey for conscience sake rather than for fear of his wrath. Paul's counsel is like that of Jesus: Render therefore to all their dues (compare Titus 3: 1). The teaching of the apostle Peter is practically the same (1 Peter 2:. 13-17). ' The highest motive of obedi- ence is for the Lord's sake, that we may the better serve and honor him who is our Lord and Master. TT TEE .['CLPiLLINC o1' '1111.7 LAW, Rom, 1.31 8.1.4, The debt which no man can mope is the debt of love, We owe tido love to God first of all for his great love and abundant goodne•is. Cod would have us pay in land to our fellow .nen. IIe that loveth another, Paul says, hath fulfilled the law. Of this ae.schenbusch writes, "The Law mall- ei for love for OAP's neighbors; the ribe>" had added the permission to hobo one's enemies. Jesus raises the standards of good will. Tho law of love applies to all. There :s nothing great en loving those who love us. Anybody can do that, Heroic love be- gins where no love comes to meet it. Those who can win that triumph shoal the ue family likeness of god," To pity, to love, and to redoenY the un- lovely, unwholesorne, and depraved is to be indeed godlike. Love will, of eours- do no harm bo those upon whom it is poured out. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor, Love is the law of light. Out of the deadly sleep of selfishness and indif- ference to the needs and sorrows of, those about us Paul exhorts men to awake. IIe believes that Christ's great day of triumph is approaching. The day is at hand, the day of salva- tion. The works of darkness are self- ishness and -hatred. The armor of light is love. Moffatt renders, "No revelry •or bouts of drinking, no debauchery or sensuality, no quarreling or jealousy. No, put on the character of the Lord Jesus Christ," vs. 13, 14. It was these words of Paul that Augustine read when his conscier-se had been awaken- ed regarding his former manner of life. • It was these words, as one has said, that "nailed him once for all to. the Cross." Ss Australia Has Big Dried Fruit Year Canberra, Australia Fcr the year ended June 30, 1929, the quantity of dried fruits produced in Australia was . a record. The fifth annual re- port of the Dried Fruits Control Board said that the estimated produ0tion for the year 1928-29 was 70,000 tens, as compared with 31,850 tons for 1927-28, when the yield was material- ly reduced in consequence of dam- age done by frost. 'She sales of Australian sultanas in London for 1927-28 showed a mark- ed decline on the figures for the pre- vicus year -11,097 tons, as compar- ed with 2,815 tons. There was also a reduction in the average prices realized, but this was largely due to the inferior quality of the frdit in consequence of the frost damage. For the 1928.29 harvest it is expected that exports to Great Britain will repel 50,000 tons, which will establish a new record 3a exports. The quantity shipped up to June 30, 1929, was 38,- 159 tons. Only 580 tons of currants were shipped to Great Britain for the year, also on account of frost damage. To preserve the trade that bas been built up with Canada in the last few years the beard deemed itexpsdi- ent to send the major portion of the exportable surplus of currants to that Dominion. It is confidently expect- ed that, as a result of the appoint- ment of R. A. Haynes as commercial representative in Canada, every ef- fort will be made,to exploit this mar- ket to its utmost capacity, in order' to dispose of the record surplus that will be available this year,—Christian Science Monitor. taas May—"Sweetheart, for me?"

HKing:., �v i : �Y3erge Saved W;.t rshup Story 'of Torpedo Boat 79 Told by Sir George Arthur How the ,Ring, as a young naval lieutenant, saved a disabled warship from being dashed oa the rocks on the, Irish -coast is revealed by Sir George Arthur in his book, "King George V.; a Sketch of a Great Ruler." The occasion was tate naval maw oeuvres -of 1889, Prince George (as the King was then) was in command of torpedo-boat No. 79. Hewas only 24, and it was Itis first independent command. Torpedo•boat No. 79, with two other torpedo -boats, had to make Rath/nal- lea, on Lough Swilly, for a rendezv- ous with a senior officer. No, 79 turned up at daylight one morning, and her commander report- ed that one of has consorts had brok- en down, and was anchored on a lee shore, not far from t1je rocks. He had tried to tow her off, but had carried away his only hawser, and nothing could ie done but leave her there, with the third boat stand• ing by, while he Dame in for fresh ropes, The position was so fraught with peril that the senior officer's .itnpulse was to proceed himself to the' scene and superintend the salvage. Prince George, however, begged to be allowed to try again, and, supplied With a new hawser, he took his ship out again in the teeth of a heavy gale and high seas. Prince George and hie crew had been up all the previous „night, grap piing with a tough job in rough wea- ther; but by bold initiative, nerves •of steel and skilful seamanship, he was able - to salve his sister -ship and tow her to •her harbor mooring. Sir George tells -a ourlous story of the Russian Soviet Delegation which was established in London, He gives it as an instance of the King remaining rigid in his control in his own social province. Sir George states that the Foreign Office informed the department of the Master of 'the Ceremonies that as the. Russians had "come into line" the re- presentatives of the Russian Govern- ment were eligible for an invitation to the Royal garden party. Presuming that the Foreign Office had first communicated with tate King, the usual formal notice of the party was sent to the Soviet Embassy. .The King, it is stated, qu Bearing of what had happened, said very plainly that the garden party was his private concern, that, no invitation was to be sent to Chesham House, and that. the officials who bad blundered must make the best job they could of the bungle, FINEST THINGS Life's finest things, the things titan last, Are ours, but never fettered fast.

The speed of the recent flight was over 70 miles per.. hour, with only three engines out of five running and the throttles less than three-fourths open. It is hoped therefore that 85 utiles per hour will be reached later.

These striking facts are revealed in the 37th annual report of the re- partment. of .trade and commerce, compiled by F. C. T. O'Hara, deputy minister. The report reveals a de- cided trend towards increasing, direct trade with foreign countries rather than through the United States or the United Kingdom as formerly; in- creased percentage of exports of fully or semi -manufactured goods and in- creased utilization of Canadian ports for both incoming and outgoing trade, Wifie—"I eupose Aft have been with that friend of yours all evening, helping him nary his load" Hubby—"Not I must say I never saw a man carry his load better than he did to -night." resistance to its travel. It is to keep this high tension current from jump- ing at any place except the points that the insulator is employed in. the spark plug. Water and carbon - are two fairly good conductors of this current, and if water gets on the insulator outside of the cylinder the current may travel thruogh it to the metal of the cylinder and not jump the points in theplug at all Likewise, is carbon collects on the part of the insulator which projects into the cylinder, the current may pass through itinstead of jump- ing the gap. It it does not jump the gap no spark. will occur. When splashing through puddles of water or in a very beavy ram water will sometimes pass through the radia- tor and get on the porcelains in sufficient quantity to cause the engine to skip. The heat of the engine, however, will generally evaporate the water and quickly clear up this trou- ble. When the engine is run with a very rich nuxtnre, a poor grade of lubricating 011 ,and when too much oil Is being used, due to worn engine parts or improper feeding, carbon is deposited in the cylinders. This gets on the insulator and forms a path over which the ourrent can pass with- out jumping the gap. This carbon may be removed by soaking the ping in denatured alcohol, cleaning the insulator with a small stiff brush and a piece of cloth. Care should be taken not to scratch the insulator with a knife cr sandpaper, as this will open up the pores, with the result that carbon will then col- lect more quickly. PAYMENT Let every man consider this: One must pay for the best the world has to offer whether one gets what is paid for or not. Success is had only at a price. But all of us alike must pay. IP you do nob pay for it with the post - the forces and values that will bring it to you then you pay with the nega- tive qualities that not only defeat but also bring a train of unhappiness, misery and regret.
