cated that there is no intention of re-
ducing interest rates on deposits in

authorities may lay clown in connec-
tion with interest rates. At the recent

cial grants continued. In other word's
IGoderich township would dis'tribu'te
all moneys spent:on roads and bridges
among its own taxpayers, and it can-
not be 'bla'med for wanting to do this,
providing efficiency is maintained,
!Whatever may be said for or against
the farmer as a road -builder, certain
it it that the tawns'hip roads, bridges
and culverts have never 'been so good
as since the Government took a 'hand
in their construction. There has been
standardization, simething which nev-
er before prevailed. It is well that
Goderich township added the proviso
that it wished Provincial ,grants con-
tinued, judging from the experience
of Nottawasaga township, in Simcoe
county, near Collingwood. IBy a small
majority this township has said to the
Government .at Toronto, we want
none of youar assistance, 'we will do
our own road work in the oid-trash-
ianed way,we will build all our
bridges without 'financial assistance.

Covenanting blood .coursed 'through
ate veins •01 John Dunmore L'an'g.
After preparing for the ministry at
Glasgow University, he went to Aus-
tralia, which the hoped to make an-
other !Scotland. He did gdod mission-
ary work for his 'Church. !He .estalb-
lis!hhed the S'co'ts National Church in
Sydney, peopled the settlement with
m'issionarie's, p:novided buildings, and.
teachers for the training of the young,.
and paved the way for the first meas-
ure of self-govern''men!t Which was
conferred on the colonists, IThe young
minister from ,Largs was c'h'ar'm'ed'
with Sydney When he arrived in 118213,
butt when he looked round, and be-
came familiar with 'the co'n'dition of
the p'eo'ple, he wondered wlhefher he
could live in sucha community, The
convict tnantslpon'tatio'n system was
turning the Ilarg,e landowners into
aristocrat slave -owners, and a .policy
of subjection, foreign to all 'Se'attish
te'ac'hing, was ene'ourafged by the auth-
orities,
!Thai state of -affairs influenced him
in making up his mind that his work
was the emancipation of' the'cowaic'ts
and [the teaching oIf all his 'fellow -
countrymen to fit (them for the m!ak
i'ng !elf a great n'a'tion.
(What 'superb courage ;he showed,
courage backed, under all the storm
and stress: o'f combat and defeat, by a
genuine mental capacity. :Alt.first he
was a lone fighter, with neither capi-
tal nor caucus, and with immense
forces arrayed against him, but he
survived a Moscow and eluded a ,Wat-
erloo. The Scots were glad' to see him.
They helped 'him to form this congre-
gation. Sir Thomas Brisbane, also a
ergs man, who was then the Govern.
or o'f New 'South Wales, placed the
courthouse at his d'isposal for Church
services, and subscriptions 'were lib-
erally promised towards the 'building
cif a ehurch, the governor [heading the
(list.
'The governor, in consequence of a
quarrel with the young minister, with-
drew his own su!bscription, and re-
fused to have anything to do with the
work. D'r. Lang, undaunted by ' the
want of his offic'ia'l patronage, went
on with' his work, and returned to Bri-
tain 'to lay his complaint before the
[Government. He was favorably re-
ceived and in 41926 went back to Syd-
ney with instructions thatone-third
o'f the cost of the church was to be
met out of the funds of New South
Wales. Not only that, but the State
was to provide £300 a year towards
the minis'ter's salary.
!His travels through the country im-
pressed on him the possibilities of
the,continent. He soon saw that all
that was necessary to make it prosper-
ous was the large immigration of
suitable settlers. That fired him with
the ambition 'to people 'the country
with Scots.
IA journey to Britain had no ter-
rors for him, even though it occup-
ied six months, and comfortable ac-
commodation was impossible in a sail-
ing ship. He arrived back in 1030, and
took out the first batch in the follow-
ing year.
IThe ,Secretary of State for the Col-
onies promised a grant of £'3,500 on
. condition that an equal amount would
r be subscribed by Dr. Lang's support -
Graves' 'Worm Exterminator to drive ers in the scheme. He said .there elected members of the first Represen-
nut the parasites, would be .no difficulty about the guar- tative Council,
antee, and £+1,500 was advanced to
pay the passage of suitable 'Scots
tradesmen.,
ISixty-masons and other tradesmen
were selected, and with their' wives
and families arrived in ,Sydney in the
autumn of .18311. Stores and houses of
a :superior ,type sprang up immedi-
ately,
T'hat group of Scotts made a start
kntawn to -day, Permament buildings
took the place of the shacks which
'had dotted the countryside for half
acentury.
There Iliad been ,only ,two classes in
the colony before that time—the free
inamigranits with their large grants of
land, their flocks, and their convict
servants. The other , class consisted
'oaf +the"'•emancipated' convict la'bourers
end tradesmen, Dr. Lang decided to
form a middle class.
That sdheme was vigo'rously op-
posed. 'The large landowners, who
wanted to keep the power they en-
jaoyed, fought 'hard. They persuaded
some of Dr. Lang's colleagues in the
ministry to object to his interference
in politics. iA' charge was formulated
against him, and he was deposed from
the ministry by the synod of Austra-
lia.
The deposition was conlfirmed by
the church courts in Scotland. Dr:
Lang applied to the 'Court of Ses-
sion in Edinburgh, and bhe judge held
the l.ec'isi,onn was illegal. The Synod
next :tried to oust him froan the church
property, but,after a long course of
litigation, the matter was finally set-
tled in his favour.
He maintained that the waste lands
were not the property of the inlhabi-
tants, but of the people Of the Brit-
ish 'Em'pire,: and ought to be admin-
istered an that .spirit. He did not mince
words when criticising this 'op!pon-
entts. Writs fell on him like leaves
from a tree before an autumn gale,.
On one o'c'casion he was imprisoned
for libel and fine'd-the fine and ex-
penses were defrayed by public sub-
scription.
Imprisonment and fines, . to meet
which he had to sell his .few' belong-
ings, did not mak hint change this
policy. He believed' he was right, and,
undeterred by the terrors of the 'i'a'w,
he continued his campaign with un-
failing vigour.
3t,
is not surprising that after . his
persecution Dr. Lang ,enjoyed great
personal prestige. His sincerity .and
'honesty were unquestionable. He was
singularly we'll-i.n'fonmed, and he was
certainly incorruptible.
He came again to Britain ,in 1036
to take out another batch of immi-
grants. He embarked 250 German
vine dressers for his brother, who
had a slarge, farm in New South
Wales. They were to develop the
wine -growing industry which some
in the young ,colony had started. They
left the ship, however, at Rio 'de
Janiero.
(During that visit Dr, Lang arrang-
ed for the transportation of 4;000
Highland herds, who were taken out
by degrees to the great sheepwalks of
!Bathurst and to the fertile plains of
Victoria,
When, in 1842, the Constitution
Act was passed, Dr. Lang was the
most popular and trusted man in New
South 'Wales. He was one of the

bright and fresh for ever was that by

tain the separation of Victoria from

ing colony.
That proposal was opposed and
defeated by New South Wales. But
again he appealed unto :Caesar. The

Victoria granted the petition, and the
separation was effedted in 1851,

in 1718, and was given a public fun-
