Isn't it a good thing the new year
comes around once in a while with its.
manuscript of 365 days, all untried
clean sheets? Somehow we feel we,
can start over then for Father Time
seems to be handing us another
chance to make good.
One of the yearly puzzles that keeps
growing more and more perplexing to
many people is the money question.
Things that were considered luxuries
are now necessities andit is hard to
keep track of where the money goes.
The following suggestion might help
to solve this problem.
First subtract from the annual
salary 10 per cent. for savings and in-
come tax payments, Then divide the
remainder into aye equal parts for—
let, food; 2nd, shelter; 3rd, clothing;
4th; household expenses (which in -
eludes electricity, fuel, water, maid
service, repairs and refurnishing); 5th
development (which : includes church
and club dues, vacation funds, benevo-
lences, medical bilis, automobile up-
keep, personal expenses, entertain-
ment, education and recreation). •
Then lay aside these sums every
pay `.day over the year and keep with-
in
ithin them every week. It works out
fairly well.
Window Cleaning
Occasionally wipe the windows off
with clean paper, 'Tissue paper is best
if you have' R. It keeps the dust and
dirt from accumulating and reduces
the number of real window washings.
The amount of black dirt collected on
the paper,also the ease with which
• they can be cleaned is a surprise and
clean, shining -windows for another
weekor so is the result.
Three-year-old, Beatrice was eating
her porridge slower and slower. Her
mother knew she wanted her toast
and honey waiting on her plate, so she
said: 'Eat all your porridge now,
dear." But there was no answer. Af-
ter a while a violent coughing took
place. "Why, what Is the matter,
what are you doing that for?" Still
no answer, but the coughing kept op,
a noticeably ,forced cough. "Listen,
Beatrice, why do you do that?" At last
the muffled auswar came: "I coughing
'cause I don't want my porridge."

Mamma Hen thoughtshe would see if:
it was a nice day outside. Of course
wheu she went outall the four little
chicks went too. It did look nice out-
side for the sun was shining, but
just as they got outside ot the door-
swish came the wind, and it was suck
a cold wind. It was so cold that the
little chicks came running back and
wanted to get under their Mamma
again, But just think, Mamma. Hen
wouldn't sit down on them as she did
before, so they could get warm under
her wings, A11 she did was hunt
around for something to eat for her-
self, and besides that, she ss?alked so
fast they could -hardly keep up with
Iter. I really believe she is going to
be a bad Mamma, and the chicks look-
ed so' cute, too. I clout see how she
could act that way, do you? Well, she
just got worse and worse and even
got quite cross because they- followed
her, and all at once she ran real fast
away from them and left them all
alone. Wasn't that a dreadful Sittig
to do? And there were four little
chickies without a Mamma. She went
off . and left them just like some bad
mammas leave their little boys and
girls sometimes. It is a good thing it
isn't often that there are bad Mammas
but once in a while that is what hap-
pens. We should be so glad we have
dear kind mammas who always take
such good care of us, shouldn't we? I
tell you there is nothing, no, nothing
in the world so good and nice as a
good mamma, is there? So you must
always remember to loveher and help
her just all you can and when bed
time conies, it pleases her if you har-
ry up and get into your warm little
beds, then turn out the lights: too, so
you can feel the soft dark that makes
eyes sleepy. .What that little verse
again? Perhaps you can say it from
memory.
The dark is kind and coey,
The dark is soft and deep,
The dark will pat my pillow,'
And love me as I sleep.
God made the dark so daytime
Could close its tired eyes,
And sleep awhile in comfort
Beneath the starry skies.

Hey -Day
Come and go a -berrying,
Would you wiser be!
Come and learn that everything
Younger is than we—
We who almost dared to think
in our wearying
There were no more springs to drink,
No more pails to swing!
We were dusty with our books,
Come and let us go
Out among the lyric' brooks,
Where the verses grow,
Where the world is one delight
Made of many a song
Lasting till the nod of night,
Lovely all day long.
Till the smallest glimmering nook
Holds the moon in glory;
And the heavens are the book
And the stars the story!
There the peaceful earth is sweet,
Either way it lies-
Hader unacquainted feet
Or in tired eyes.

Canadian Coal Industry
The last three years in the Canadian
coal Industry have shown a larger out-
put than
ut-put'than any similar period in the his-
tory of mining in the Dominion. Two
of the three years have seen new re-
cords established. The year 1929
showed a slight decline, but the output,
even in that year was nearly 12 per
cent. higher than the average produc-
tion of the past five years. Within the
five-year period the increase in output
has been nearly 30 per cent, Canadian
mines last year supplied approximate-
ly one-half of the coal consumed in the
country. Imports came largely from
the United States, while there were
similar quantities from the United
Kingdom.
The Canadian fuel problem is geo-
graphical in character. The Dominion
Possesses abundant supplies of coal,
but these are situated at the extreme
ends of the country. The two central
Provinces of Ontario and Quebec are
'without local coal supplies, though at
present certain deposits are under in-
vestigation In the northern part of On-
tario. As a result of the distribution
of coal within the Dominion, there are
large imports into Quebec and Ontario
from the conveniently situated mines
in the United States.

Through a Glass Darkly
If I could be as sure of life
As I am sure of death,
It would be easier by far
To draw this constant' breath.
If I could see the gates of life
Swing wide on such delights
As swing the gallant gates of death,
I should sleep well o' nights.
But lite is such a twisted thing,
And death it goes so straight
Between the stars and through the
moon.
Oh, I must not be late—
And I must not be hesitant,
But step with valiance out
Beyond the Tittle lanes of life
To learn what death's about.

-try of John the Baptist—Luke 3:
7-17. _ Golden Text -Bring forth
therefore fruits worthy of repen-
tance.—Luke 3:,6.
V. 15. We are told that many peo-
ple wondered whether John the Bap-
tist Plight not be Christ. The word
"Christ" is of Greek origin and means
anointea. It thus corresponds exactly.
with the Hebrew term "1Vlessiah." sIn
the Old Testament "Messiah" hardly
occurs as a title, but many people are
thought of as anointed" in a special
way. Thus kings or Jiigh priests, or
even foreigners, such ass Cyrus (Isa.
45: 1), m g t he spoken of as "mine
anointed." -
In the time of Jesus the terns had
conte to have a technical meaning. For
long centuries now the Jews had been
subjected to ono ,,reat heathen empire'
after another; et this time they were
a part of the Roman Empire; they
were allowed certain special privi-
leges in it and almost• complete reli-
gious freedom; but they had nothing
like the liberty and independence of
"Dominion- status," They were held
down by military force, and felt that
in spite of religious liberty their na-
tional I:fe was thwarted and spoilt by
the heathen oppression. They were
perhaps the proudest and bravest *ace
iu the. Empire, and they dreamed of
freedom. God, as many' of them
thought, must raise up for then a
Deliverer, a great king in their midst,
as David had been who should restore
and increase the ancient, glories of
their nation. This Deliverer, for
whose 'reign they hoped, they called
"Messiah.'
This hope and widespread expecta-
tion was much more than political.
The world, as they saw it, was given
over to evil; the best of them were
much concerned for the triumph of
righteousness and the spread of true
religion than they were for their own
national aggrandizement. Surely, they
felt, the world had suffered the rule
of Satan and of the heathen long
enough; surely God must soon over-
throw sin and evil. and establish his
glorious kingdom of righteousness and
peace and true religion! The expecta-
tion of Messiah was widespread, but
not, it'seems, universal; many thought
that the Messiah would be an earthly
king and deliverer like David; others
thought of a mysterious, angelic Be-
ing wile should appear on the clouds
of heaven. It was not unnatural that
in the excitement of John's "Revival"
some should wonder whether he might
not be the expected Messiah.
V. 16. But this was not John's func-
tion. He was like the outrider who
precedes the royal carriage, or like
the servant who cuts a way through
the thick brush that his master may
follow. He was tate herald, the fore-
runner of the Messiah, not the Mes-
siah himself. John had baptized with
water, immersing his disciples in the
Jordan, but there would follow him
"the stronger Oae"—apparently he
meant Messiah who should baptise
men "with the holy Spirit, and with
fire."
This phrase combines two very dif-
ferent ideas. What is meant by"fire"
the following verses show. John pro-
claimed the near advent of the fiery
Judgment In the Day of Judgment
the worthless chaff would be given to
the flames and burnt. Hence, the fu-
ture baptism would be a baptism of
"fire," " It would not, however, be
quite true to say that John the Bap-
tist preached "hell fire," for his mean-
ing is that the wicked, the chaff, will
be destroyed, not that they will be
eternally punished. We ought not to
expect to -find in his teaching a real-
ization of God ss the Father of infi-
nite mercy as the divine Shepherd who
seeks for the, lost sheep "until he
find." It is not very clear how John
could have spoken of a baptism of fire
and of the holy Spirit at the same
time,, and it is possible, though not
certain, that the swords, and with the
l.oly' Spirit," were added by the Chris-
tians to correspond better with the
real facts, for though the coining of
Jesus was in a real sense a Judgment
(see John 3: 19), yet, actually, Chris-
tian baptism was a baptism of the
Spirit.
"Denunciation is an ineffective
method. It is very doubtful if scolding,
ever does any good. Righteous in-
dignation may sometimes be needed,
but it is not enough. Rebuke for fail-
ure in duty will only aggravate, unless
the better way can be shown. Human-
ity need not despair, but hope. The
gospel is positive, not a mere negation
of evil, but the overcoming of evil
with good. Herein is its glory. Duty
can be achieved, and conscience can
be void of offence, and righteousness
can, . and presently will, cover the
earth like a garment." '

wells in the section around 'Snyder,
has been heightened by the bringing
in ot another well of enormous com-
pressed air flow in. a new locality five
miles from the other wells. The latest
discovery was made in a test for oil
that. was being drilled by. Seifert,
Dibble ee Blackburn,
The air stratum was encountered at
a depth of 1,171 feet. The air rushed
out of the hole with a tremendous roar
and quickly covered the derrick with
frozen moisture. The flow etas
brought under control and prepara-
tions are being made to harness it for
use in boilers in industries of nearby
communities, -
The first of these strange wells was
completed near Snyder" about five
Years ago. The air was below the zero
mark in temperature and 'during the
hot summer days, when the surface
temperature was 90 to 100 degrees,
the freezing air from the well was
used for refrigerating vegetables and
other products. Later it was turned
into hollers of industrial plants and
the power used . as a substitute for
steam. Since the original discovery
two other' similar wells have been
brought in here and are furnishing
power for boilers. Many geologists
of note have visited the freak wells,
but none of them has been able to
explain the phenomena. For a time it
was thought that the product of the
wells might be non -inflammable het-
ium'gas, but au analysis showed that
it was pure oxygen.
In Acts 19: 2 we read of a company
of disciples in Ephesus who knew of
John's..aptism, but knew nothing of a
pouring out of the holy Spirit. It was
this new "Spirit," given to Christians
which chiefly distinguished John's
baptism from that of Jesus., The re-
ceiving of the holy Spirit, which was
the seal and proof that a man was a
Christian, was associated with bap-
tism, sometimes because it was given
in baptism,. sometimes because it im-
mediately preceded baptism. When
we think of baptism by the holy Spirit
we , should not have in mind the
strange "speaking with tongues," so
much as the new power and hope and
tiancharacte

John is here represented as looking
forward to the coming of Messiah
(though the name is not used) whose
shoe -lace he felt himself. unworthy to
untie. - -
Bad Patches
Have you noticed how disappoint-
ments come in waves? The explana-
tion is hard to find. It puzzles us why,
at certain periods, all kinds of troubles
should seem to concentrate upon us.
It is really stupid to allow ourselves
to be intimidated by a continuous run
of bad luck. If we were wise enough,
we should probably discover just why
these things happen. We may be suf-
fering these set -backs through a force
of circumstances over which, apparent-
ly, we have no control. On the other
hand, they may be the final result of
some perpetual wrongdoing of our
own, Much of the trouble can be elim-
inated if we Iook- into the reasons
honestly and without fear of finding
unbleasaut facts about ourselves.
"I'm feeling blue and bad-tempered,"
we say. Immediately the face •becomes
more certain. In nine cases out of
ten, these bad patches are of our owe
making, and they continue with us be-
cause it is too much trouble for us to
get rid of them. -G. 71. G.

Stuff To Give 'Em
Farmer Jenkins believed in giving
his workers a real Christmas meal.
This year he ordered the feast to
start with soup, to be followed by
goose, roast beef, and unlimited sup-
plies of plum -pudding,.
The workers, having fasted all day
in order to be in good trim for the
Christmas meal, were prepared to
make the supplies look foolish. Roast
goose and strong ale were all they
expected.
"'Ere, what's this?" said a disap-
pointed guest, when a plate of soup
was placed before him. "You've for-
gotten the goose and stumn'. 1 don't
want any gravy,"

Report Good Year
Outstanding Increase is in
Salmon Pack on Pacific
Coast .
Although prices were lower, Can-
ada's catch of sea fish and shell fish
in the first nine months of the past
year was larger by soiue 30,000;000
-;pounds than. the catch in the corres-
ponding period of 1929. The out-
standing increase was in the 'salmon
pack on the Pacific coast, in which
it is aleeady clear there will be a
new, record established for the year.
The combined catch of all varieties
of :sea fish and shell fish in the nine
months' period was approximately
818,570,000 pounds, compared with
788,201,700 pounds in the first three-
quarters of 1929.
, Increase on Pacific Coast
The sea fisheries for the month of
September -showed an increase on
Me Atlantic. For thee two coasts
together there was a drop et 32,900,-
000
2,900;000 pounds in the catch. On the At-
lantic coast decreases were fairly gen-
eral in nearly all the principal Nsh
cries, although Quebec and Nova
Scotia both fared better as regards
mackerel than they hail done in 1929,
and therewas an increased catch in
Nova Scotia halibut. The major
lobster fishing for the month was in
New Brunswick, and the -catch 'there
was nearly 1,997,000 pounds compar-
ed with 1,311,400 pounds in Septem-
ber, 1929. The total catch of lobsters
on the coast as a whole since the be-
ginning of the late season of 1929
was 40,105,200 pounds, while in the
preceding corresponding period land-
ings totalled only 36,498,900 pounds.
On :the Pacific coast, salmon and
pilchard landings for September were
both well ahead' of the totals for the
same month of 1929, though is each
case the value was less than a year
ago. The salmon catch amounted
to about 33,643,000 pounds, a gain of
over 600,000 pounds, The pilchard
catch was 58,240,000 pounds, against
50,826,200 pounds in September last.
year. The month's halibut fishery
was much less productive than the
halibut ` operations la September,
1929. In September of the present
year the catch was 2,874,000 pounds,
compared with 3,493,800 poulicls in
September, 1929.
For the British Columbia Salmon
peek figures are now available up to
Oct. 11, at which date it had reach-
ed 1,910,509 cases, or more than 590,-
000 cases above the pack total for
the full year 1929, and only 74,689
cases less tltatn the record quantity
put up in 192G. There have been
large increases this year in the pack
of all varieties of salmon in British.
Columbia except echoes.. The sock-
eye pack increased by over 187,000
cases. Pink production has more
than doubled as has also the proems -
tion of springs, There have been
substantial gains in the case of
chums, bluebacks and steelheads, al-
though the pack of the last-named is
never large. There is little question
but that the pack for the full year
will set a new record for the British
Columbia canned salmon industry.

have done much to prove his theories,
The observatory, conducted by the

six telesc"pes,'ranging in size from a
six-inch refracting type, to the 60 and
100 -inch reflecting instruments. Work
already is under way . on a 200-iticb
telescope, which, when added to the
equipment, will be of invaluable aid
in exploring that part of the unit

Those three noted astronomers first
Pointed the largest telescope into the
heavens and undertook a study of
the spectra of the stars many mil-
lions of light years away. In fact,
so far away are these stars that it
was necessary to expose a photo-
graphic plate a week before suffici-
ent light could be captured on the
filar to prove their presence,
It was these men who fleet became
fully convinced that Einstein was
right when he said that the universe
was full of curves and had a limit,
They were able, during a total
eclipse of the sun, to photograph a
star which; at that moment, was be-
hind the sun, by its own bent rays,
a positive confirmation they said of
his curve structure of space theory.
Time Element Probed
While this group largely has been
investigating the truth of Einstein's
iopace theory stiil others at California
Institute of Technology, have been
Probing the time element of the
sante theory.
Two of these physicists, Dr. Roy J.
Kennedy and Dr. Edward 1,1, Thorn -
dyke, figurately placed time under a
microscope, measured it, watched its
varying positions and photographed
it. Results of these experiments
have not yet .been announced, but
there is reason to believe that some-
thing definite may be made public
before Prot: Eiitstein'a return to Ger-
many.
The Mt. Wilson staff has decided
that everything which moves, except-
ing light, changes as its velocity in-
creases. For example, it is pointed
ont that an ()bled travelling at the
.tremendous speed of 90,000 miles .a
second Would flatten into an ellipsoid.
and upon reaching the speed of light,
186,000 miles per second, would be- '
come so fiat as to lose one dimension
—and -time would stand still for, it.
The truth of this theory is being
determined by Dr. Kennedy.
Other Scientists
Among the other scientists who
are gathered at Mt. Wilson are Dr.
Charles E. St. John, who contributed
to Einstein's theory, with the argu-
ment tliat atomic vibrations in light -
giving vapors are slower inthe
strong gravitational field of the sun
than in our own atmosphere; Sir
James Jeans of England, who is at-
tempting'
ttempting'. to show that, according to
Einstein's original conception, the
dimensions of space are determined
by the amount of matter it contains'
—the more matter, the less space.
It was at Mt. WIlson that Dr.
Humason made photographs of mile
tea 300,000,000,000,000,000,000, light
years away. In other words, the
light which struck the photographic
plate, left the nebula that many years
ago at the rate of 186,000 miles per
second :and only recently arrived;
here.
Some idea of this huge distance
can be gained from the fact that the
light by which you read your morn.'
ing paper lett our sun only a little
more than seven minutes ago.
Success
The ordinary man thinks be cangel
what he wants out of lite if he has
but the price to pay for it, and to get
tliat price without success. Yet there
aro others, nota few, who know that
success quite as often lies in the re-
linquishing of wealth as in its ac-
cumulation; who find it in the putting
aside 01 fame and poverty rather than
in grasping them. There are many
"ordinary" people, or those whom the.
world calls such, who 'have learned
that a true manhood or womanhood is
the finest success. earth has to offer, ma_
whatever its surroundings may be.
Great Desires
The ideal of .life is in our blood and
never will be lost. Sad will be the
day for, anyman when he. becomes
contented with the thoughts he is
thiuktng and the deeds he is doing
where there is not forever' beating at
the doors of his soul -some great desire
to do something larger, which he
knows that he was meant and made
to do. -Phillips ;Brooks,
