YOur affectionate son, ; . sad . gloom over our country still hangs. When will we again again enjoy the quiet, peiteeful Christmas as of yore? Oh, this terrible war still goes- on, and homes are saddened almost every day by the disastrous news. When will the nations learn that God rules and Iwill rule until man will yield in sub- snission. This wadat will not be won by -mansstrengthedndependent of God. Neither will man's devices, unless in ,harmony with God's plans, secure the ' desired end. Only as the rulers from nations are in communion prayerfully with God, will true peace be brought 1. about speedily. God intends them as 1 *ell as citizens to be in submission as 1 individuals as communities, aa nations 1 to His Supreme Will. God intends us to learn many lessons,and One strong lesson, : is submission to a Higher Power than man. We are living in perilous times and the world is going i through an -ordeal at present such as 11 it has never before experienced, but God ,willeright the affairs, or rather„ rule -these as may deem His plan cd4, the ages. 1 The conning craftiness and profi- teer:dog eierit are not yet elimikatedi _Vie,goldgki7nie isifeetont -of the militiN of many of our rulers .as well as, orits4 citizens.

I feel, readers, our franchise holders are urged too much how' to use their fran- chise:We have a franchise, let u$ use 11 it as wise independent -of -man beings. 1' Use them not to give profiteeriZ an upper room; not to give lease of poet- er for power's sake, but to the best in- terests of our country and the wel- fare of the poor and needy. It is time labor was given' a More conspicuous place. It is time middlemen's pro- fits were curtailed. It is time the ag- ricultusiest were given their true place.

Murplay.1.... •• FROM GILBERT PLAINS Dear Expeiitor.-It is nearly a year ago, since I wrote your readers a let- ter, hence I deem it wise to write an- other before the year is ended. We have had an excellent summer and fall here, very suitable for grain crops.- I think Gilbert Plains has had as good crops this year as any other place in Manitoba. 'Wheat yielded an average of about 24 bushels to the acre and in many cases the yield was thirty bushels and in a few cases forty bushels. , Oats and barley yields were large, and with prices so fav- orable, farmers here have excellent retarns for their labor. We had a rare occurrence in weather, during October. A ilttle winter raged from October 16th to the end of the month. But November was a beautiful month; farmers had splendid opportunities to get their plowing done, as plowing weather continuediuntil Novehibte 25, which was a rare treat, as it usually freezes up about November 18th., Threshing and fall plowing were completed this fall with better satis- faction 1 than we have had Since our New Meat coming west.
