A long ministry in one congrega-
tion has unusual results.. Rev. Dr.
Steele of the First Baptist . Church,
Amherst, N. S., was recently honored
on the anniversary of his fifty-fifth
anniversary of his induction to that
charge. He . has gone considerably
over the eigthieth year in life and has
left his mark both upon the religious
life of the community and the educa-
tional, having been one of the school.
commissioners for fifty years. At the
public reception, where the resident
ministers were present and many of
the -prominent citizens, ,Dr. Steele re-
lated" many interesting 'reininisences.
He had married over a..thousand coup-
les, and more than a thousand had
been converted .under his ministry.
He had been the pastor of six gener-
ations of the same fainly. On the
wall' of the church was placed the fol-
lowing tribute, "They loved him in
1867; we love and honour: him in 1922.
A parseof gold was added to the gifts.
His successor is Rev. Dr, Rose, whom
the congregation presented with a
cheque for $300,00.

St, Peter stood guard et the
Gate,
With a solemn mien and an air sedate,
When iqp to the top el the golden
stair,
Maggie and Jiggs ascending there,
Applied for admission; they came and
stood
Before St. Peter, so great and good;
In hope the city of peace to win,
Grid asked St 'Peter to let therm in.
Maggie was tall and dark and thin,
With a craggly beardlet 'on her chin,
While Jiggs was short and thick and
stout,
And his stomach was built so it
rounded out;
His face was pleasant and all the
while,
He wore a kindly, gentle senile.
The choir in the distance, the echoes
woke, '
And Jiggs kept"still. while Maggie
spoke.
"O thou, who guardest the:gate," said
she,
TW e two come thither beseeching thee
o let us enter the heavenly land,
Our harps to play with the angel band
Of me, St. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from heaven to bar
me out
I've been to meeting 'three times a
week,
And always I'd rise up and speak;
I've told the sinners about the day,
When they'd repent of their evil way;
I've told my neighbors—I've' told 'em
all
'Bout•Adam and Eve and the Permal
Fall;
I've shown them what they'd have to
do,
If they'd pass in with the chosen few;

The Statutes of 1922
I've talked and talked to them loud
and long,
For • my voice is good and "my lungs
are strong;
So, good .St. Peter, you'll clearly see
The gate of heaven is open for. me.
But Jiggs here, I regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow
' way,
He smokes and swears, and grave
faults he's got,
So ' I don't know whether he'll pass or
not.
He,never would pray with an earnest
vim,
Or go to revival, or join our hymn,
While I, the sins of my neighbors bore
He gadded about ,with Dinty Moore,
He made a practice of staying out late,
Which is a sin all women hate,
But, at last, when he did come home,
The rolling -pin went straight to his
dome.
I knew him St. Peter, knew him well,
To escape from me, he would go to
hell;
But, St. Peter, I need him here,
And hope you. can see your way clear,
On earth I bore a. heavy cross,
Give me in heaven still Jiggs to boss;
I've brought my rollingpin, plates and
jars,
To keep him from dodging among the
stars.
"But say St. Peter, it seems to me,
This gate isn't kept as it ought to be,
You ought to stand right by the open-
ing there,
And never sit down in that easy chair.
And say, St. Peter, my sight is dim-
med,
But I don't like the way your whiskers
are trimined;
They're cut too wide, with an outward
toss,
They'd look better narrow and straight
across.
St. Peter sat quiet and stroked his
staff,
And in spite of his office he had to
laugh;
"Who's tending this gate, Maggie, you
or I?"
Then he arose to his stature tall,
And he pressed the button upon the
wall,
And said to the imp who answered
the bell,
"Escort this female around to hell."
Slowly Jiggs turned, by habit bent,
To follow wherever Maggie went,
And St. Peter, standing on duty there,
Saw that the top of his head was bare;
He called the old boy back and said: •
"Jiggs, how long hast thou been wed?"
"Thirty years," (with a weary sigh),
And then he thoughtfully added,
"Why?"
St. Peter was silent, with head bowed
down,
He raised his head and scratched his
crown,
Then, seeming a different thought to
take,
Slowly, to himself, he•spake;
"Thirty years with that woman there!
No wonder the man hasn't any hair!
Swearing is wicked, smoking's not
good;
He smoked and swore -I should think
he would.

The "volume containing the statutes
of Ontario for the present year has
recently been distributed.; This bpok
is rarely seen. by anyone except law-
yers and. others interested:particular-
ly in law, and yet it contains many
must
thingswhichthe average citizen
know.
This year there are over a thousand
pages in this book, but three hundred
of these'contain the Municipal Act
which defines the power of municipal
councils. and other similar bodies. A
great deal of this is not new matter
but a collection of former acts revised
up to . date.
Considerable space is also devoted
to insurance, several acts having been
passed for protection of those who are
insured for varibus things. Another
Iarge act'is that with regard to muni-
cipal' electric radials, which does not
affect this neighborhood—at least, not
yet.
A very important change is the
giving of the municipal vote to mar-
ried women whose husbands have vot-
es. This -'removes a great cause of
complaint and it is up to all married
women to see'that tbey are put on
part 1 of the voters' list next year.
Owners of horses, cattle, swine or
pigs must not allow them to run on
the highway. The penalty is $5.00 for

The city: of Toronto is given power
to buy the' radial from. Lambton to
Guelph.
A husband who has deserted his
wife . or children may be ordered by
the court to pay a certain sum every
week towards their maintenance.
Graduate nurses may register un-
der the 'Provincial Secretary, and
will then have power to, use the title,
"Registered Nurse."
The date' of the municipal nomina-
tion and election may. be changed by
by-law passed. not later than Novem-
ber est., so that the election day will
be the first Monday in December with
the nomination a week ahead of that.
Already several places have adopted
the new dates.
A new form of declaration is to be
signed by ,a candidate for municipal
office. 'This allows anyone who is
owner or tenant of a dwelling or own-
er of land and entered:on the voters'
list, a British subject over 21 years
of age, with taxes paid up and living

Uttder the O. T. A. amendments,
there are heavy penalties for putting
