Tascltereau of Cate. bee,. is quoted as saying that the pre- sent lavish expenditure of public mon- eys for the support of those unable to help themselves must stop or the country would be ruined. He did not however, give an alternative ,,to the present system. In England they have had acute un- employment for a much longer period than we havehad here, and it was said that the "dole" would lead that coun- try to sure bankruptcy. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer in the Bri- tish House of Commons just recently reportedthat the country wound up the business last year with a large surplus. To get such a surplus it was, of course, necessary to raise a great deal of money and this can only be ac- complished by taxation. There is lit- tle use taxing the poor man as he. has little or nothing to offer. Britain realized this and instead of repeated- ly trying to tax the citizen who could not give money went after the very wealthy and: made them bear to a greater extent the cost of government and the payment of war debts. To overtax the average individual is only to lower his' standard of liv- ing, but, to take away unnecessary wealth from rich People - does not harm our social system. It looks as if it is the proper system for today, when the vast minority have gather- ed together pratical'ly all the wealth of the country. * * * UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS This year is the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists in Upper Canada and pro- per recognition of this fact should be noted by the people of Ontario. The best method of bringing this matter forcibly before our people would be through: our schools and other,organi- zations where lectures can be given on this subject. It is our hope that many addresses on the loyalty and perseverance of these people who have helped make history for Canada will be given throughout this district during the year. * * y Cuba has a new President, the fifth in a very short time.

Golden Text: `"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Matt. 5:8.) People who reject orthodox Chris- tianity are often heard to say, "Tare Sermon on the,,Mount is good enough for me." It had better be! For the moral standards of the Sermon on the Mount are hopelessly high, utter- ly impossible for the natural man to live by. Those who reject "the theol- ogy of Paul," as they call it, and the new birth, and the blood atonement of Christ, and talk about living by the Sermon on the Mount, do not seem to realize that it is possible to live by the sermon only after one has re- ceived an entirely new life, a new na- ture, by the new birth from above through faith in Christ as Saviour. This lesson should help to make that plain. The great discourse begins with the. Beatitudes, or the "blesseds." The entire discourse is spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ, with all His divine au- thority. "Blessed are the poor in spirit," He begins, "for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Poor in spirit is contrasted with pride of spirit. The proud pian thinks he has something in himself that is worth, while; the poop in spirit knows that he has not, and is willing and eager to receive all that Christ can give hint. He is humble, teach- able; therefore God can do everything for him. The meek are blessed, "for they shall inherit the earth." Meekness is not' weakness_ Moses was the meek - .est of men—and he had tremendous _strength. of character, forcefulness, power, Jesus Christ was meek beyond all men -and He was omnipotent. Meekness is full surrender to the Mill of God. When Christ comes again to reign over this earth, it is the meek who will literally "inherit the earth." There . is no blessing promised to those who hunger for money, for pro- minence, for power or authority, of fame or reputation. But there is a great blessing promised to those who "hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled." Righteous- ness is the characteristic and charac- ter of God Himself, and only those who are "filled with all the fullness of God" through faith in Christ as Saviour. and. Lord, cart be filled with righ teous. ness. The pure in heart are blessed; "for they shall see God," And the heart • lssIsu.II.■®■/$HIIIsuI i■■rasIIft!■!/■!® • Maitland Creattnery ■ ■ Buyers O ¢ BANKER, KIDIMAPPED'; Edward G.

Peacemakers are blessed, "for they shall be called the children of God." This beatitude has often 'been referr- ed to those who bring about peace, or maintain peace, between warring 'or hostile nations, It would seem to go ;touch deeper than that, and have to do with ?`the peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Phil. 4:7), and that "peace with God" which on- ly those who are "justified by faith .. through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom. 5:1).��°Soul-winners, those who bring rnet to Christ as Saviour, are the true peacemakers. And blessing is promised, to. those who are "persecuted for righteous- ness sake," or, the Lord says, "for My sake." This is martyrdom. This is true witnessing to the • Lord Jesus Christ, even if it means the laying down of life. There is eternal bless- ing promised for that. Then the Lord calls His disciples "the salt of the earth." Men without Christ are "dead in trespasses and sin"; and dead things suffer corrup- tion,' decomposition. In the natural world salt is a preservative, and pre- vents decomposition.

HOME-GROWN GRAINS FOR SHEEP (Experiniental Farms Note) The solution to the problem of ec- onomical sheep feeding in winter rests on the use of good+palatable rough - ages, properly supplemented with grains. The grain part of the ration is us- ually the most expensive; however, with a reasonable supply of home- grown grains such as oats, barley or wheat, the cost is much reduced and very satisfactory results can be ob- tained. Some grain is generally required i for the maintenance of the ewes in lamb. For this purpose oats have no equal. However, if no legume hay is available, wheat bran should be add - :ed ed to the oats in the proportion of one part of the former to two of the 'latter. The amount to be fed will has placed His Church of time be-•ivar - from one-quarter of a pound to lievers on earth as an antidote to the o three-quarters of a pound per head natural corruption and decomposition I daily , according to the ,condition of of humanity with God. 1the animals.

Winter Hog Feeding Winter hog feeding requires differ- ent methods from those ordinarily found successful in summer, Stunting and crippling are common ,during the winter and result largely from an ov- er -supply: of: heavy feeds as well as from a lack of some of the vital elµ etnents. Lack of sttnshine and, exer- cise May also be contributory causes, Control measures to forestall these' winter feeding difficulties' are as fol-: laws:rse L a variety of feeds in the ration including milk or tankage; pro- vide alfalfa I fa or clover bay r roots in t y o small quantities; do not feed too heavily; allow young animals to ex- ercise outdoors in . mild weather; - all. stock should have comfortabie sleep- ing quarters which are dry and free from draughts.
