Sunday morning was well attended: The pastor spoke from the text, "Do this in remembrance of me". Intheserefreshinge s fellowships we recall the days that have di-omeed into the sunset, we remember the ser- vant of God who led us to dedicate our lives to God. We seem to see about us the people who used to sit in the pews; avid the minister who once stood in the pulpit. We remem- ber, too the periods of soul awaken- ing. It is a wondrous communion for the christian to" sit tender the spell of these sacred memories. But we must see that the Master calls us to re- member Him, "In remembrance of me", He is supreme in the christtan fellowship: He :claims' our attention. He seems to say, "be absorbed in me". He must always come first, for He is to us "the•chiefest among ten`thous- and." It is devotion to Jesus which will shape the verdict at last. And when we render whole hearted ser- vice for members of the fold of God, we keep in remembrance "Ye did it unto Me," May we readjust our lives at the Lord's table this morning: The choir sang "The glorious cross, the cross on which Jesus died."

Perhaps the idea is ta have the cattle eat the mustard and thus produce a specially flavored beef for the British market. If ,this scheme can be ,carriedout, it may yet prove,as great a boon as the Garnet wheat to the people of the West. Winnipeg is a wonderful city for its age, and the citizens admit it them- selves, as someone has said about the Americans and their country. The writer was in Winnipeg more than forty years ago just think of the chance he missed by not staying there. There is nothing like getting in on the ground floor. A man in Winnipeg today, who reached the city by Red River boat, before the C. P. R. was built, has himself fixeel now with a nice easy job for the balance of his life, selling papers on the cor- ner of Main St. and Portage Ave. So much for an early start. From Winnipeg to Brandon there is a lot more broken land than I re- membered there being. I am not sure that the whole farming district throu- ghout the West is worth much more in actual value than it was forty years ago. The overrunning of the count- ry ountry with)weeds, would nearly, or quite, overbalance anyimprovements that have been made. Brandon is probably the prettiest town in the West. Starting with a fine site on the banks of the A,ssini- boine, but without tree or shrub, the people have planted hedges and trees until every street is well shaded, There are also handsome parks and flowers. The city is not growing, however, and has loaded itself with a street railway that, I am told, never has been able to show what politics ians call 'a balanced budget', up to the present time. As a residential. city it is unsurpassed, even in the but is not m'akinp rowth,' East, a any g What memories are stirred by re- visiting any place after an absence of years! 1 ulany . In Brandon I only saw two buildings that I recognized as ha- vin been there in 3883, one being an old 'frame place where I boarded, linin a wall. of Carberrybrought to d , fifteen miles from. 'there in winter time, with an attraction at the end of the journey of course. Elkhorn re- called a weary trip from Birtle to that place, through muddy roads, with a payment of $4,00 for helping to push the wagon in which we were suppos- ed to ride. Moosomin brought back several trips from there to Fort Ellice and beyond, mostly on foot and of a long dreary, night, spent on the prai- rie after having lost the trail in a bliz- zard. In the Weed Hills the writer bagged the first and only rabbit he ever shot at in his life. This being a hundred per cent average he has allowed it to remain at that ever sin- ce. These incidents now .almost for- gotten, and many others crowd the memory as the feet: tread the paths of earlier years. Rye and barley are ripening all a- long the line, some fields being al- ready cut at this date, July 26. No one scents' to be expecting more than a fair average yield of grain this year; a btYnaper crop is not expected. It is interesting to take ,note of the zones of the different newspapers. The Toronto dailies just about stop at the head of the lakes, and when we reach Fort Frances and Rainy River the Winnipeg Free Press and. Tribune meet us. These hold sway as fat: west as .Broadview, or further, before the Regina papers take tip the work of enlightening the public. the politicalpot seems to be So far 1 er boiling rather slowly out here, as the people are more interested in the wheat crop than in politico. it is; thought that Robert Porke will be tik of a huge still cap turningable of out twenty' -five gallons of liquor per day, with thirteen barrels of mash, acre-en- tity "quan-tity of home-made whiskey, andtins of alcohol.
