THE GOLDEN
TREASURY
January 31.
God, who commanded the light to
shine out of darkness, hath shined
in our hearts, to give the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God
in 'the face of Jesus 'C'hrist. 2 Cor.
i.v. 6.
,Without this saving knowledge' we
have no God, no Christ, no grave, no
faith, no union with 'Christ, no actual
justification,' pardon of sin, peace, or
eternal life. !But whoever has. found
Christ, the Jewel of : great price,
the hidden Treasure,': has found mat-
ter of great rejoicing; for he was poor
before, and this Treasure enriches
him; he was naked before, but, finding
this treasure, he is gloriously ciothtd;
he ryas 'forced before to feedtpon
husks, ' but now he feeds upon .the
bread of life; he was far in debt be-
fore-, but now he sees that the debt is
paid, that he is justified 'frim all
things, and pardoned !for ever; he was t
a'child of wrath 'before, but now he is
a child of God; he was a captive and
in chains 'before, but now he is set at
Iibe'rty; condemned 'before, but now
there is no condemnation to him, nor.
to any. one that is in 'Christ. Jesus; he
was a fool before, bat now he is made
wise to salvation. 'Reader! canst
thou set thy seal to the truth and
power of such experience? 'Then
thou art wise indeed; if not thou hast
much to leant: apply with speed, and
remember, it is God alone that gives
this light and knowledge.
Father of love and grace,
,Thy light to me impart;

aha!, 1 •mention that? By no meatisk
it is all to be ascribed to thee.' The
goodness of man is all derived from
'God, and should be extended' to his
brethren, That of \fes iali owed its
original to his union with the Div-
inity; and ,promoted the salvation of
those to whom it was communicated,
that is to say, of those who thereby
became `"the saints and excellent
ones in the earth." For their sakes:
obedience- was performed, and propi-
ation made, : by the Son of God,
because he loved them with an ever-
lasting love, and. placed all his de-
light in making them happy, He reef
joiced in `the habitable parts of the

TRANS -CANADA .. TELEPHONE
SYSTiEM OPENED
With the inauguration by His Ex-
cellency, Lord Bessborough, 61 the
i
all-Canad adi. Telephone System con-
'necting A tlantic and ,Pacific ,points by
the of leading cities across the
country, ocean -to -ocean telephone
elks will be routed wholly through-
Canadian territory Moreover, twenty-
two repeater stations where the talk-
ing currents are revived en route, to-
gether with all the modern scientific
aids to voice transmission, will ensure
service of the highest standard, with
direct connection making ffor high
speed, economical service.
All told this trans -Canada telephone
system is an important empire link, a
fresh tie between east and west, a
pathway for business and, social com-
munication which should make for a
more prosperous Dominion, a More
closely united Empire.
.Of course it has been impossible for
many years to carry on satisfactory
telephone conversations between far
eastern and western cities, but calls
have hitherto been routed partly via
Bell lides in the United States. Notvv
telephone talks will keep to Canad-
ian territory—they will be direct and
speedy,and of the highest quality
transmission.
The project represents the co-oper-
ation of the seven major' telephone
systems of Canada—the Maritimes
(Telegraph and Telephone Company,
the British Columbia Telephone Com-
pany, Alberta Government Telephone

History of Project.
The matter of a coast -to -.coast long
distance telephone service 'was first
discussed •iii 1921 at the opening meet-
ing of a new'ly formed organization
nailed the Telephone Association of
!Canada, •co'niposed of repre'sen'tatives
of the seven orgasiz•ation's •mentioned
above. I't- was not until 1928 that the
matter had assumed concrete shape.
IIn• that year the Bell' Telephone Com-
pany was requested 'to proceed with
an engineering study. Work began in
1930 on the basis of each systetn pro-
viding the facilities withiti its own
territory, thus bearing its own share
of the total cost, which was estimated
at approximately 'five million: dollars.

On the Psalms,-Psal''sn XVII.
Analysis.
Upon whatever occasion, • or in
whatever distress, (David might com-
pose this Psalm, we are taught by St.
iPeter and St. Paul, 'Acts ii 25, and
35, to consider him as speaking in
the person of our Lord • Christ, of
whom alone the latter part of the
]Psalm is true.. The contents are, 1,
a prayer for support; 2, 3. a declara-
tion of love to the saints; 4, a pro-
testation against idolators;'5-8. acts of
lave, joy, and confidence in Jehovah;
and 9-11', one of hope its an. approach-
ing resurrection •and•glorification.
•1, (Preserve me, 0 God, for in -thee
do I put my trust.
These words are evidently spoken
by one in great distress, who addres-
ses himself to heaven for support
under his sufferings, pleading his con-
fidence in 'God, still unshaken :r by all
the storms that diad set against it.
This might be the case Of David, and
may be that of. any 'believer. But
since the Psallin is`a_'cootinued s'peeeh
without change' of person,` we may
consider the whole as uttered by him,
who only could utter the concluding
verses, and who in this first ''verse
makes his supplication to' the Father,
for the promised .and expected delivr
eraince.
2 0 my soul, thou has said unto
the Lord, thou art my Cord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;
3, But to the saints that are in the
earth, and to the excellent, in wham
is all my delight.
'In the Ch'aldee and "Syriac, the 'lat-
ter clause of the former of these
two verses is rendered — "My good-
ness' is•'from thee." A writer thinks the
Hebrew •will' bear this 'sense, in the el-
liptical way, thus -'"My • goodness!

CLASS--IFI-ED RATES FOR
FARM FIRE INSURANCE
The recent investigations of the
Provincial Fire Marshall into the
cause of so many barn fires in the
County of Wentworth certainly fur-
niches food for thought on the part
of the farmers of Ontario generally,
and for the directors and ;undemerit-
ere of all insiirdnce companies doing
business in the iProv-ince.
The evidence in nearly every case
is as mystifying as the origin elf the
fire itself. One feature of these in
vestigations, however, stands out
pre-eminently, and that is the neces-
sity of fire underwriters in the future
paying more attention than ever be-
fore to the .persop'al character and.
financial standing' of all applicants for
fire insurance. Men of loose, im-
moral or intemperate habits, will re-
quire 'careftel consideration by all
agents.
Writing fire insurance at classified
rates will also help very materially to
soave the fire insurance problems be-
fore
efore the !farmers of Ontario. There
is no reason in this age of progress.
why buildings of first class construc-
tion, with fire proof roofs, and equip-
ped with lightning rods should be
charged the same rate for fire in-
surance as buildings of , inferior con-
struction, without any lightning or
fire protection whatsoever.
Farm fire insurance at, classified
rates is somewhat mew in Ontario,
although it has been working out
with unqualified success in the West-
ern Provinces for "a number 'of years,
The Wawanesa ..Mutual Insurance
Company, -Canada's largest mutual.
fire insurance cblmpany, is one of the
companies that • have made an out-
standing success of writing 'farm fir.
insurance at classified rates:
About a year ago at the sugges-
tion and upon the recommendation of
the insurance committee Of the Unit-
ed Farmers of Ontario, the Wawan-
esa Mutual opened an office at Tor-
onto and commenced writing farts
fire insurance at classified' rates • in
many section's of Ontario. That the
system has been well received is
amply evidenced by the fact that the
Wawanesa Mutual has already taken
over and re -written the entire busi-
ness of several local fire insurance
mutuals since coning to Ontario,; and
now has upon its books in the Tor-
onto office a substantial share of the
fares fire insurance 'business of ;the
province.

the slaying of Genevieve Nolan, 24 -
year -old police informer, and Archie
1fcDonald, 28, within a ,period of a

warned by telephone they were being
sought by an angry killer wielding
two guns. Miss • Nolan is stated to
have turned over to • efcDonaId letters
concerning her work for the police,

ing has existed between Murdoch and
his £owner subordinate since they
enraged in et fist -Hight last Summer.
Ili court the ex -chief stated only that
his real name was Osborn, not Mur-
doch. Murdoch, 'born to Ayrshire,
'Scotland, spent six years in the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police, it is stat
ed, and three years in the Manitoba
Provincial Police. The coroner's jury
brought in a ,verdict .that "Genevieve
.Nolan came to her death as the result
of gunshot wounds inflicted by a man
he a blue`Ch'inchilla coat and grey
hat;" and "that Archie McDonald
met his death as the result of gun-
shot wounds fired through the kitchen
window by an unknown man• who was
seen leav'in'g the backyard." ?Miss.
Nolan was slain in the rotunda of a
local hotel. Seven 'bullet wounds were
found in her body. Mrs. Irene 'Bleri-
heau,'friend of Miss 'Nolan, who lives
nearby, said that after the shooting
she saw Murdoch, wearing a blue
overcoat and - grey felt' hat, run
out of the hotel. She testified that
Miss Nlolan had confided to her that.
She :was •afraid .Murdoch would kill
her. Before 'the inquest, police report-
ed they found a note in Miss Nolan's
room to the effect that she •feared be-
ing shot by a man with a .45 calibre
gun. The gun with which the shoot-
ing 'was done:has not been found. Fol-
lowing the shootings the town was in
a turmoil as warning was circulated
that T. G. Norris, barrister, and Dr.
B. DeF. Boy'ce,police commissioner,
were in danger. Norris was absent in
Vancouver, and Dr.;Boyce 'Heeded the
telephone warning and did.not appear
