Psallm xxtie.,:.'2. Search me, 'O God, and know my theart; and see if there be any wicked way in me, ,and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm cxxxix.'23, 24. Would 'David, the man after 'God's own heart,' not trust himself, but pre- sent 'his re-sen't'his heart, to the Lord, to be tried? Much less .can or ,otight we to trust our hearts; "'For the that trusteth in his own heart," says the wise man, "is a fool." Prov, xxviii. 26. We have more reason to the .afraid df our own hearts than, of all other enemies. It is not necessary for us to know then or by what means the 'Lord searches our hearts; slut' everyone that is *really in a state of grace, and walking in the fear of the ,Lord, .will pray to hint to search the heart, and to deliver hien from every wicked way. The Holy Sipirit ,has various ways of searching the hearts of his people, and makes use of different means with the same person, We are n'ot to limit the mode nor the extent of his operations; but it is our duty to pray, that 'he will in every thing guide us, in bhe path that leadeth to everlas'tiag life. !Sone may be wrought upon, very differently from others; 'bu't the whole administration of these things is under the direction of infinite Wisdelnt, and tends to man- ifest the glory of Divine Grace in our salvation., Lord, search my soul, try ev'ry 'thought; Though my own heart accuse Inc not Of walking in a false disguise, I beg the trial of thine eyes. 1On The Psalms:=Psalm Vit. Analysis— This is the 'first of those Psalms which are styled 'penitential. It con- tains, 1. depreciation of eternal ven- geance; and 2, 3. a petition for garden which is enforced from Ole consid- eration of the penitent's sufferings; 4. from that of the divine mercy; 5. front that the praise and glory of which God would ,fail to receive, .if than were destroyed; 6, 7. from that of the penitent's humiliation and contri- tion; 3?10. the strain changes Into one of joy and triumph upon the success and return of the prayer. • 1. 0 Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten rue in thine hot displeasure„ Let us suppose a sinner awakened to the sense of his condition, and look- ing arouaid him for ,help. Above is an angry God preparing to take veng- eance; .beneath, the fiery gulf within, the gnawing 'work. Thus situated, 0 e begins, in .extreme agony of spirit, "0 Lord, rebuke me not in thine an- ger, neither chasten Inc in thine hot disp'lea'sure." IHe ex'pe'cts that .God w°ill "rebuke" him, but only prays that it may not be in "anger," 'finally to de- stroy hint; he desires to 'be chastened, but chastened in fatherly love, not in bhe "hot displeasure" of an inexorable judge. As often as we are led thus to. express our 'sense of sin, .and dread of punishment, let us reflect on, Him, whose righteous soul, endue*with at sensibility ,peculiar to itself, sustained the sins of :the world, and the dis- pleasure of the Tether. 2, Have Mercy upon me, 0 Lord, for I am weak: 0 Lond, heal me, for my 'bones are made to tremble. The penitent entreats for mercy, first, by representing his pitiable case, under the image of sickness. .He de scribes his soul as deprived of 'alt its health and vigour, as languishing and fainting, by reason of sin, which had eat out the vitals, and shaken all the powers and supporters of the spiritual flame, so that the breath of life seem- ed to be departing. Enough, however, was left to supplicate the beating aid of the God of mercy and comfort. How happy is it .for tis that ova have a physician, who cannot but be touch- ed with a feel'ing of our -infirmities, seeing that he himself once took theist upon him, and suffered for them, even unto the ,death of the cross, under which he fainted and on whioh his bones were vexed, 3. '2 y soul is also sore vexed: but thou, 0 Lord, how long? Another argument is' drawn from the sense whioh 'the penitent hath of this his woful 'condition, and the .con- sternation and anxiety produced ther- eby iii his troubled mind. 'These cause hien to fly for refuge to the hope set before him. — "Hope 'deferred =teeth the heart sick;" he is therefore beautifully represented as crying out, with a fond .and ..Imaging impatience, But thou, 0 Lord, ho'w long? His strength' is supposed to fail shim, and the sentence is left imperfect, What 'blessed Jesse's, were thy troubles when to thy 'companions thou amidst, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto deathl'"By those thy sorrows we be- seech thee to hear the voice of thine afflicted church, crying to thee from the earth, "My soul also is sore troubl- ed; but thou, 0 Lord,. how long?" 4. , !Return, 0 'Lord .deliver nay soul, 0 save me for thy mercy's sake. A third argument is formed ufJo'n the cou•sideration of Godly "mercy"; for the sake of which, as it is 'promis- ed' to penitents, he is requested to return, or to torn Itinasclf towards .the suppliant; to lift up his countenance en the zlespondiug heart; : to deliver it from darkness and the shado'v' o+f death, and to diffuse around it light' and life, salvation, joy. and .gladness, like the sun in the morning, when be revisits the benighted world, and calls up the creation to bless the 'Maker of so glorious a luminary, so bright a representative of redeeming love.. THE GARDEN Sumner is not a dull season in the rock garden, though most plants 'have done their blooming before trite hot weather, There are still 'the campan- ulas to hear from, harebells, bluebells, the bell flo'wtrs its their many 'Torn "l'hunrb farms. There are tulips for August, 'fro'm the Rocky Mountains. There are clever little asters, .both na- tive and alien, for September. In fact, there is something doing in the garden all the way to the blossom- ing o'l Nhe Christmas rose—which is is not a rase, at all, but a hellebore— in November or 'Decem'ber, 'Then the gardener puts her urchins tenderly to bed under blankets of salt hay, Most of them will live and anultiply, and the fresh young crocuses will again rise. The gentle pastime sounds costly, Plants 'froth. Alaska. Iceland. IZam- chatka. Yunnan, Sikkim, IBaltistan, Persia, 'Spain - surely they are not brought ,to these far shores without heavy 'expense. But alpine nurseries here supply the demand, and, too, many a rock garden has a fascinating seed -bed annex, slat -covered, where the rarest of plants may be raised. A packet of seed costs little, even when it must be ,bought on the other side of the globe. Rock gardens are not standardized. The garden next door may have its awn plant personnel. .But all success- ful gardens are alike in that they study to satisfy the particular needs of each individual; one little chap likes its feet wet another does better dry -shod. One wants acid soul, another wants sweet. and a third wants no .soil at all. Most of the alpines can be killed with too much 'kindness in the way of rich food. Give them a 'handful of sand or lime- stone chips to roots in, and they flourish like the green bay tree, when they would perish in loam. Herein lies perhaps the strongest appeal 'of the rock .garden. Here are little friendless living things that need to be mothered, and''mothered under- standingly. 'They 'must be raised by hand. They need the personal touch. Getting it, they smile, and the stony places with no deepness of earth, where plants of old were soon scorch- ed and withered away, now !become beauty spots, sweet, restful oases in the restless •world, and 'bring forth fruit of contentment alt hundredfold. —For the most satisfactory 'results do not attempt to move or divide peonies until 'September. Then, any time during that month take a sharp spade,; and cut the crown into clumps containing at least two buds, aud plant where desired, covering t'he crown not deeper than two inches.. Iris are also best moved at this time. These must be planted very shallow, barely' covering the large bulbous. roosts; otherwise rust.is liable to set in. Oriental poppies can be mover nicely in, August, but care should 'be exer- cised not to disturb the roots any more thaet absolutely necessary. Del- phiniums may be proved by division of the crown in October. Roses and most shrubs can be moved very late in the fall, about 'October or _Novem- ber, and .should be well hilted up with earth, until next spring. —+A little extra work in the garden, before going away for a fortnight's holidays will be amply rewarded by finding things in good shape n'hen one comes home. 'With the exception of the lawn, which may'. be soaked the night before departing, it is well to confine all watering of flower ansa Vegetable gardens to the evening or day 'before. +It is important that +cul- tivating should be the 'la'st jab, Give all beds a real soaking, if this is pos- sible, being careful to avoid the 'foli- age on sweet peas, 'beans, phlox, and its fact most plants if the hosing is done in the evening or at night, and then spend the last evening at home with the 'hoe and small hook cultiva- tor. 'Hoe down the rows of vege- tables, leaving the soil broken up and Ttt as fine a tilth as possible. Dig around the flolevers. Do not leave any ,hand crust on the earth anywhere. Give rases and any other plants liable to be attacked by insects or disease;, a dose of poisoned spray, which: will protect them. If afraid of fungus de- veloping eel these plants, or onthe phloxes or hol'lyhocks, dust with flow- ers of sulphur. If possible 'have some one come iu during the owner's ab- sence to keep the "flowers placed, so the plants will not be going to seed. This is especially necessary with sweet peas. After the holiday, apt the grass very short, and 'water heavily to induce new gro'wt?h fratti the roots, 11 the crop cut has,been heavy it may be well to rake this, off in a couple of clays, :though at .first it will provide sonic protection ,for it, KILLING ANTS. Where assts are troublesome on lawns' and .grass plots, they may be destroyed by the following mix- ture; One pound sugar, one quart water, and 125 grammes arsenate of soda, +Boil together until the soda is dissolved, and ,then ad,d one table- spoon of honey. Soak some excelsior in this mixture. and place in tins with perforated tops. The ants will smell the poison and .crawl into the tins for it. This mixture is poisonous, and care should be used that children and do- mestic animals w=ilt not be tempted to try it. Ants, as a rule, will not injure the flowers. PUBLIC OFINPO'N AND BEAUH'ARNOfS (Financial Post) Iii the contusion of allegations and revelations concerning the Beauhar- nois Power enterprise the essential fact 4s that the public has been amaz- ed by what it has learned. But is has likewise been somewhat bewildered. by the easy juggling with figures and in its bewilderment is not attempting, tomake a nice division between the revelations of what is thor'oughl'y hon- est and legitimate and what is defin- itely scandalous, On most of bhe 'matters that have come 'before the committee, business men will be inclined to reserve judg- ment until the whole story has been told, and, as there is every possibility. that politics may influence the .com- mittee's report or reports, will form their own conclusions from what they seal have learned. Some of the evi- dence ,has not made very pleasant reading hi this time of general stress and unemployment, in this time of general testing and review of the whole basis of modern business. But one may hold a critical opin:ien of the actions of certain individuals without embracing in that adverse judgment alt who have contributed to bringing this mighty undertaking into being. One may franlelydiffer with some methods that (have been pursued with- out condemning absolutely the whole project. Bringing a balanced public judgment to bear upon an affair of this type is most difficult when the pu'blic's feelings have beets outraged by much that is unsavory. From the public standpoint certain facts stand out in the evidence ad- duced to date: One: The Beauharnois group have laid their plans for a much larger en- terprise than could he justified by any rights already confirmed to thein by Ottawa. They have gambled on getting a much larger flow of the riv- er bhan they now enjoy. Their ob- jective is the whole river and a 2,000,- 000 h.p. development. What they have invested on the strength of this hope is pretty touch their owe affair and that Of investors in the enterprise. In this phase of the matter, the signifi- cant thing is the Dominion govern- ment cannot at •the moment do much to approve concessions granted by bhe Quebec government without demand- ing the safeguards that will ensure the people bhat public assets are pro- tected. This was largely an engineer- ing matter until the present investiga- tion created a situation that makes it a matter also of practical politics. Now a complete reorganization of they company and possibly a change of control must precede action by Ot- tawa. ,nois syndicate took long gambles and Two: Men occupying prominent positions iii the state have made large profits out of their investment in the original 'Beauharnois syndicate. To the man in public life there are many occasions when his conscience mast be his guide. The dividing litre bet- ween ,s'hat is wrong and what is right is no's clearly' +fixed. Because 'he is in public lifer a man should not be lebarred from hazarding his personal profits on the ordinary long -shot gambles of business. It is quite an- other natter when he uses his confid- ential position or political influence to tura a gamble into a practical certain- ty. Qu the case of individuals who have been mentioned at Ottawa the extent of the influence used cannot be determined by the evidence as yet submitted, But public opinion is apt to be More definite in its judgment than the committee .can be. When the enquiry is closed and the story has been 'told, the public is almost certain to feel that a member' of retirements from public life are decidedly called for. And if the public come; to this firm conclusion it cannot well fie re- fused its satisfaction. Three: 'Enormous stuns have been paid into party campaign funds by those who were seeking governmen- tal approval of their development plans. There is nothing new in this practice. The body politic is the sum total of the people and enterprises of the country. Every individual and ev- ery !business is constantly influenced by the action the government takes. Governments are the products of el- ections and elections as well as inter election party discipline cosi money, The money is contributed by individ- uals and by business enterprises. Ev- ery plan who pays his annual mem- bership dues in the local party organ- ization in the hope that his party will acquire or retain power and thus pass the laws, impose the taxes and grant the favors that are in accord with his views is doing in a small way exactly. what Beauharnois did in a big way. Again we find no dividing dine sharp- ly drawn between right aand wrong. But the contributions revealed in the present case' have been unconscionably large. They also were too definitely linked up with specific requests under consideration and likely to be under. consideration by bhe political leaders of the country. 'When campalge contributions be- come targe enough and are just time- ly enough they run close to the line of corruption. The important factor in this instance is what the public thinks of the particular contributions made. The public's opinion is not a party one. What difference does it make that the Liberals were chiefly involved? It esems to be rather apparent now that the Conservative Party went into the last election knowing that if they were defeated at the polls they had evidence regarding campaign contri- butions by Beauharnois to the Liber- al iberal Party which would probably result its government de'fea't and force an- other election. The refusal of the $200:000 contri- bution by Ole 'Conservatives and the knowledge they probably had of fin- ancial dealings with Beauharnois on the part o4 protnitient Liberals, W'oul'd seem to have made their return to of- fice, in such an event almost a certain- ty, {From the investor's standpoint two other points stand out in the evidence and bhese are of prime importance: 'Four 'Those who put up the orig- inal 'money to finance the Beauhar- took a chance of losing all. For this reason they, were .entitled to Tong pro- fits if they achieved success. But those pro'frts s+hould not have been ta- ken out, of bhe enterprise as soon as the necessary rights and privileges were obtained and it was possible to flitance on investors' money. For Beaulearnois Power Corporatism to have borrowed 'S30,009,000 from the public and then to have used $4,950,- 000 of this :same .mortgage money to buy out th'e largely intangible assets o? the syndicate on a basis that pro- vided substantial profits to bleose who invested in the syndicate was un- sound financing, It left 110 equity be- hind the bonds whatever. In 'fact it left an impairment of the bond capi- tal, iIt did not take the present inves- tigation to nves-tigation.to bring out the exact amount of these profits for the fac/s• wore published in The Finincial1Pos't a't the time. i Five: Again from the inv'es'tors' standpoint it has. been clearly demon- strated that through a combination of inepitude on bhe p'ar't sef some and mere .greed on the part of others, the Beauharnois enterprise has been dev- eloped eveloped in an atmosphere charged with potential danger. Things were done that the public either would not he able ro understand or would disap- prove of if it learned of :them. Ev- entually, the Pacts had to conte out and the whole future of a great ene- ineering and development project is 11:01r menaced by an understandable public antagonism. No group of pro- moters or financiers has any right to conduct its operations in a way that will not stand the fiercest light of pub lici'ty. It is fairly obvious now that Beauharnois has been put together with a solmewhat reckless disregard for public opinion and from bhe in- vestment standpoint this is most un- fortunate, because odium is thrown not only upon this one undertaking but upon all forms of private busi- ness -and promotion. HOTELS IN PLENTY. If anyone says that t'he Highland of Scotland are not well provided with suitable hotels he must " be speaking without sufficient know- ledge. Houses of public resort are numerous and handsome, and they are to be found, not only in centres which loom largely in the holiday maker's eye but also Me:dace's Which are little heard of. Sir Charles Reade of the 2,dacb'ayn'e firm, speaking in Glasgow laid much stress on the fact that shore accom- modation trust correspond in full measure with the character of the steamers that are being assigned to the West Hlghl'andes and the Heb- rides. It is encouraging to, find that, for the east ten years or more, such dictum has received much recogni- tion throughput the whole .district.

"Knowing how nervous you are, I could hardly believe It." "You may well be surprised, Mrs. Johnston. The fact is Mr. Sheppard and I just did not know what to say when James pleaded so hard to go to camp with the other boys. You'll hardly credit it, but the reason we let him go was because he learned from some of the boys that they had a telephone line into the camp, and he came rushing home with the news, saying that every few days he could call us on long distance. "Mr. Sheppard made arrangements to have the charges made on our account, and I can tell you, Mrs. Johnston,' those talks, short as they are, just take away the worry.".
