"I came not to destroy, but to 'fulfil." Christian- ity is indeed a revolutionary religion, for it finds the world upside down and -.sets it right -side up again; it transforms a man's entire views of life, as the Beatitudes have'just illus- trated. But it does ,this not by abro- gating any divinely given law already existing, but by carrying it on to new insight and nobler accomplishments. "For verily I say unto you Verily is Amen in the Greek, Itwas Christ's commonest means of emphasis, often doubled, 'Verily,' verily' "Till heav- en andearth pass away:'' When; of course, there would be no, more need of laws. "One jot or one title shall in no wise pass .away from the Saw. Jot is a contraction of iota, the name of the smallest letter in the Greek al plaabet, its I. Its Hebrew mate is. yod. In_ Hebrew a tittle is a minute stroke marking the difference between two letters 'others exactly alike, as our.'I is much like our J. "Till all things be accomplished." After these pro- phesies are accomplished, we are no longer to' -look for their fulfilment; e.g,, we are to seek no second Christ. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments." Christ is' speaking of those who• are in His kingdom, but who have slight regard for some of the old -tune laws, regarding them as of little worth in the new order. "And shall teach men so." His teaching may be by his own example of neglect, even if he does not openly inveigh against any of the. laws. "Shall be called least in the. kingdom of heaven." He breaks the least law, he shall be called the least member of the kingdom. "But who-' soever shall do and teach thein, he shall be called great in the' kingdom; of heaven." The greatest thing in God's kingdom is full obedience to God made so attractive by the spirit of love that it leads others to render the same obedience. "For I say unto you." The•jew*s had been under the false leadership of the scribes and Pharisees; the true lead- ership muse come from the disciple of Christ. "That except your right- eousness shall exceed the righteous- ness of the scribes and Pharisees. The righteousness of the scribes and phar- isees was shallow, concerning itself with exteriors, with the formal details of ceremonial religion. Christ's righteousness was of the inner life; based on the indwelling of God in men's hearts. "Ye shall in no wise en- ter into the kingdom of heaven," Christianity isanore than a 'theologi- cal doctrine, more even than a moral and spiritual doctrine, Christianity is a life.

We desire you to know your steadfast- ness to duty and competence in teach- ing have not been overlooked by us. We know you have enjoyed your studies as our leader by the fine spir- it of enthusiasm in which you have met tis every Sabbath morning. We are not able to :fully estimate the good accotitplislaed by such service as you -have rendered to those who have attended your :class; but we desire to assure you that we have gained great inspiration from the lessons Week by week. We certainly know we have been able to meet the com- mon problems and emergencies of life much better as a result of our i splendid fellowship together. We ask you to accept this cane as a token of our esteem hot that we believe the time has come for you to lean heavily ulnen any staff, but that the gift will serve as a continual reminder of the many happy hofu-s of Christian fel- lowship spent in the church.

EDITH ROGERS, M,L.AP Visit Woman to Enter Legislature of Manitoba.- 'pical Canadian Wife and Mother. Mrs. Edith Rogers, M.L,A., the first womanto enter the Legislature of Manitoba,, was born in Manitoba at Norway House, She 'is a typical Canadian wife and mother, having three daughters and one son. Her husband was the late R. A. Rogers, of the ,Crescent Creamery Company. She is publicrspirited, interested In whatever makes for the building up of a high type of Canadian citizen- ship, says the Toronto Star Weekly. The war, more than anything else, changed the direction of Mrs. Rogers' teeming energies. Before that cata- clysmic event she' was a notable so- ciety leader in Winnipeg, contentto hold membership in the "oorrect" women's organizations. Came the war and the call to every serious-minded person to pull his or her full weight. The Central, Council of Battalion Auxiliaries was foniied to systema tize tate support which the women of Winnipeg were giving to the boys "over there."' This work soon became closely linked up with that of the Patriotic Fund, and in 1915 Mrs. Rogers opened an office downtown to heip soldiers' widows. This office is still doing business, still giving wo- manly advice to women in need of a steadying influence, though 'Armag- eddon is eleven years in the back- grcaand, It was as a "glad hand" artiste— and the term is not used in any ex- cept its pure meaning -that Mrs. Rog- ers first felt the call to share the burdens of ;those less fit to solve their own problems. She was tireless iu her work of meeting. trains, welcom- ing war brides and finding accommo- dation for families :eoaning from over- seas. Energetic, resourceful, general- ly admired•and respected, she accom- plished herculean and seemingly im- possible wonders in restoring the do- mestic and economic equilibrium of those whom war had rudely jolted. In sickness she was their help and com- forter; in bereavement their sheet anchor; in waywardness their mentor and friend. Her initiation into polities came in 1920. It was the first time that Win- nipeg City was to elect its candidates• under the multi -member plan. - Mrs. I•togers stood high when the 1ina1 vote was taken and she has gained steadily in popularity ever since, She is a Liberal and has sat in the cham- ber beside such stalwarts as T. C. Norris and .judge Robson. Other wo- men have stood for honors, but they have invariably lost out when the ballots were counted, Ever since her "awakening" dur- ing the war to woman's place in the life of the twentieth century Mrs. Rogers has been an efficient cham- pion of the principle of "sex equal- ity." She •fought and talked on be- half of ' women receiving the full franchise and being received by man as his full partner in the business of living and hewing out a better world for posterity. • PRE -CAMBRIAN BOC'K,l.

From time immemorial the wards "turkey" and "Christmas'' have been inseparably associated in our minds. There are thousands of people who firmly believe that Christmas without a turkey would be rendered null and void. No doubt the day will dawn when Christmas will be celebrated without the fleshy sacrificial Ates at- tendant upon t-Cendant'upon it at present; but the turkey is a Very beautiful and inter- esting bird, because it has never quite settled down to domesticity like the other fowl, but still has wild ways that require a good • deal of understanding, says a writer in• the Humane Pleader, Many people have worn out several flocks of small turkeys . endeavoring to treat them like chickens. Tliey have tried to make their hen turkeys rear their ,docks after the most ap- proved poultry yard methods, with the result that the ,young ones "011 and died on theta," as the. Irish say, in bunches. They will not thrive in confinement, and they cannot stand getting wet, when small, so the am- bitious turkey -raiser finds himself be- tween, Charybdis. Until they get the idea, the owners of "temperamental turkeys" are driven to the verge of suicide by their be- haviour. We remember a friend, some years ago, who was presented with tnree handsome birds, a gobbler and two hens. They were supposed..to fornuthe nucleus of a profitable :flock. Having been warned that turkeys were not domesticated in their tastes, but were given to roamingthe country rather than sitting on the porch and doing embroidery, she gave them their lib- erty and her blessing. They dis- aTrJeared one morning and were not heard of or from for three days. Ther someone phoned to say that three. straugo turkeys had taken up their abode in a pine tree on her lawn, and refused either to come down or pay rent. The Turkey Trotter, as she sub- sequently came to be called, drove furiously to the scene, and claimed her darlings; that is, she acknowl- edged them. To all her blandish 'tints. they turned a cold eye of sustsielise. and—remained id the tree. Finally. it was decided to have tea. then try ^•gain. When they went out .1t i tea, the birds had ,fin ti a. lite,a10T:x' day a.ueiglibor three miles away re ported that they were in her barn- yard, "raising Cain" with the o,1v - fowls.

There one of them raised her brood, and from them' they were brought peeping mourn- fully, on the morning of a garden party. Three of there celebrated the. occasion by dying, and the others ri- valled the garden party as a source of work and worry. They finally con- sented to live, if they could hay. their own way, but they didn't. They peeped along mournfully till sh weeks old; then one was murdered by a weasel, another was picked up by :a hawk, and the other three died of grief presumably. • In the mean- time their idiot's parents were stretching their idiotic necks, and "quirk, quirk, quirking" all over th<< country.
