THE GOLDEN TREASURY December 6. Draw nigh, to Gocl, and he will draw nigh to you. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James iv. 7, 8. The effectual fervent prayer of a righlte'otrs man availeth much. l'amas 10 my loud, draw nigh to God in prayer, and he will draw nigh to thee; be instant in it, and the devil cannot stand against thee;. for prayer will drive away sin and Satan, as the wind drives' the senboke before it; it works w^onderfully' great things, and will Make easy w'ha't seems impossible. If God has . given thee some , spir•!itual blessings already-, this is an edcour- egetnent to hope also for that which thou lacke'st yet; therefore only pray confidently, and thou shalt receive ev- ermore. Nothin'g litlt unbelief can ex- clude us 'from the enjoyment of many blessings in this would, and all bless- ings in the world to co'm'e. My God I bow before thy feet; 1Wh,ea shall ley soul get near thy seat? When shall 1 see thy .glorious face, Ansi ail thy ni'ajesty and grace ? H'ow should I love thee and adore, With hopes and joys_unkn•own before!: And bid this trifling world •begone, Nor tempt my heart so near thy. throne, l+ My s'ou1 should pour out all her cares, In flowing words, or flowing tears; Thy smiles Should case my sharpest p'a'int Nor should 3 seek my God in vain. On the IPsalms,--,Psalm X'IN. 3. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I` arise, saifh the Lord, I will set him in safety 'from him that puffeth at him.' For the consolation of the afflicted and poor in spirit, Je'h'ovah is here in- troduced promising, out of compas- sion to their sufferings, to "anise and set them in safety," or plaoe them in a state of "salvation." Such ell along has been his promise to the church, who by looking back to the deliver- ances wrought of old for the servants of God, and, above al't, to that wrought for the Son of God, is now encouraged to ,look forward, and' ex- p+ect her final redemption' from the scorn and insolence of.infidelity. 6, The words df the Lord are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace, or crucible of earth, purified seven tines. 'The church rejoices in thele promises of God her Saviour, because they are such as she:oau,confide in., His words are not lilee those of deceithtl .boasting than, but true and righ'teouts-altogether, Often have they been put ta the test, in the trials of ,the faithful, like sileer com5mitted to the furnace, in an earth- en crucible; but like silver in its anos't refined and exalted purity, found to contain no dross, no alloy in them. The •words of Jeh'ova'h are holy in his precepts, just in his laws, gracious in his institutions, true in ,lois narration's, and in his predictions. What are the thousandls of gold and silver compared to the :treasures of the sacred page. 7. Thou shalt keep them, 0 Lord, thou shalt -preserve them from this generation for •ever. As if it had been said, Yes, blessed Lord, what thou ,hast promised s'hal'l surely he performed, since there is w^illi Rhee no variableness, nor s'ha'dow of turning:' thou suiiit keep thy poor and lowly servants, as thou hast pro- mised, from being circumventer!' by treachery, or crushed by polwer; thou wilt preserve them undefiled amidst an evil and adulterousgeuer- a'tion; thou wilt be dvi'bh thy church. to the end of the world, and then ad- mit her to be with thee for e'ver. 8. 'The wicked walk on every sicle,, when the vilest men ace exalted. While the faithful repose, as they ought to do, an unlimited 'confidence in God's promise's, they have, in the mean, time, but too much reason to mourn the prevalence of wickedness, stalking, like its author, to and fro, and up and down is the earth, uttcoa- trolled by those who bear,the sword, but 31110 either blunt its edge, or turn it the w=rong tray. Such is often, the state of things here below; and a re- flection, autade upon the subject by our Lord, When his enemies drew near to appreleeed hint, May- satisfy- us how it, Comes to be so;—"I•55 is your hour, attd the power of darkness." ,l3ut that hour will quiclely'pass with us, es it did with hint, .and the power of darkness be oteltnrown; the Lord wai11 be our everfasiutg light, and the days of our mourning abel'1 be ended.

The new scale of motor car and truck i•icenses eliminates the old sys- tem' of taxing on a horsepower basis and replaces it with a Cylinder basis. Alt classes of cars are affected, the increase ranging from $2 to $20, The schedule comes into force with the purchase of 1932 license plates. For four cylinder cars the fee will be $7, formerly $5; for six cylinder cars, $12, formerly $9; eight cylinders, $20,. formerly $10; 12 cylinders, $30, form- erly $1I3; 16 cylinders, $40, formerly $20; electric. and steam cares, $20. Hon. Mr. Macaulay stated that' the, fees for commercial .motor vehicles had been increased, it being generally recognized that these vehicles had not in the past been paying their proper share for the use of the highways. The fees for commercial motor ve- hicle's equipped with pneumatic tires will range from $2 to $1'95 as against the present schedule ranges from $9 to $1130. Trailer fees under the new schedule range. from $3 to $195 as against the old schedule of $3 to $120, I\Vhiie it has always been the practice to reduce registration fees to one-half the amutal rate alter Sept. 1, in ad- dition to this reduction in 1932, a far- ther reduction will be made in fees for commercial vehicles and trailers registered after Nov. 1. The fees after this date will be but one-quarter of the annual fee. Despite the increase in auto taxes, the fees charged in On- tario will still be considerably lower than those charged in any of the other provinces of Canada, Mr. Macaulay said. In Ontario, under the new scale, the fee for a four cylinder car is $7 and in Prince Edward Island . it is $19.58; in Nova Scotia, $45174; in New Brunswick, $25.90; in Quebec, $117.25;. in Manitoba, $111.50; in ,Saskatchewan, $117.10; in Alberta, $10.50; and ht Bri- tish Columbia, $g2.25. The cost of auto taxes for the other classifications is also higher in the other provinces than it is in Ontario, A $12 tax in On- tario costs• :$52.1.5 in • Nova Scotia, 1$218:33 in New Bruns,wick and $1925 in Quebec, The minister of highways stated that heretofore it :had been the practice in Ontario to base the fees for such vehicles of their horsepower as developed by a formula used by the American Society of Automobile Ent- gineers and the Royal Automobile Club of England. While this same i•torntul'a was still being ,:used in a num- ber of states jt was recognized as be- ing obsolete and not one which showed the actual horsepower of gas- PAGE SEVEN oline engines. This formula had re- sulted in recent years in. six and eight cylinder cars being registered at the same fee as four: cylinder carrs, al- though, in every case, the manufact- urers of the six and night cylinder cars advertised a muolt greater horse- power than that possessed by any of the four cylinder automobiles, "The government, therefore, decided' to addpt a schedule of fees for passenger cars based on the number of cylinders in the engine," said Mr, l\4acaulay, ''It has been found that this method more accurately sub -divides passenger cars according to weight, manufacturer's advertised horsepower and value than the system which has been used in Ontario' and most of the systems in Ilse in other jurisdictions."

They meet this inspiring pat- riotism in a page devoted to mottoes adopted by the various tropical col- onies. Though the Latin therein dis- played is somewhat overpowering, translations are given. It is not sur- prising that Barbados, often called "little England" and often described as more 'English" than. England her- self, should have the most British and the most ambitious motto of all, 7Barbadol has a slogan which' reeds: 'E't pen'tius toto regnantes orbe Bri- tannos,' Which, being translated, reads: "And, the Britons ruling abso- lutely over the whole world." The Bahamas' motto, translated, reads: "Pirates expelled, trade restored." The island of Dominica declares itself "Ready with our sou'l's and wealth," Jamaica proposes thus: "Let each of the two Indies be of service to one end." Trin'id'ad and Tobago (the latter reputed to be Robinson Crusoe's is- land) took to Virgil, as did Barbados, and decided thus: "He approves the union of the peoples and a common 'treaty." Grenada is brief and simple; "Brighter out of darkness." St, Lucia calls itself: "A safe anchorage for ships." St, Vincent is all for: "Peace .and Justice." Tobago. not content with sharing one motto with Trini- dad, has this lovely sentiment all to itself: "She 'emerges more beautiful." British Guiana is very practical: "W'e give and take:" British Honduras is more picturesque: "Beneath the shade I flourish."
