GLORY TO GOD IN1 THE HIGHEST.
Sweet peace the Wonderful gift of
God _
Has come to our world again
Aad Victory o'er the oppressor's rod
Resounds over hill and plain.
Neverhefore since the seraphs sang
Of the Sinless Child from Heaven
And its courts with Hallelujahs rang
Has such glorious news been given'
The crosses gleam with a holy light
In that land so scarred and torn
For Right has triumphen o'er ruthless
Might- ;
And a larger hope is born.
I see- the warriors who trod the wrath
Of the wine press red and deep
And never flinched from the fiery path
Like giants awake from sleep
To praise the King of the Crown and
Rood
The Ruler of land and sea .
Whose royal vesture was dipped in
blood
That was shed to set men free.
From out the depths of the restless
sea
Whose _murmurings never cease
There rises 'a shout of liberty
That tells of the glad release.

FROM MANITOBA
Dear Expositor, -It might he well
before taking up the details of Live
Stock industry of Manitoba to say a
word on the conditions that a etate of -
war was largely instrumental in cree
ating- for there is no denying the fact.
that Hite stock production.. in Mani-
toba has labored under severalehandi-
caps. The scarcity of labor is one of
these, and the high price of grain is
another, ' These have operated . to
somewhat lessen the numbers of stodk
prepared for market or bred to in-
crease. But notwithstanding these
handieaps the,gross receipts from live
stock have been Very satisfactory.
Broadly speaking there has been a
slight decrease in number of hogs
ratsed, but an increase -in the number
of cattle and sheep, and for horses

cause of a realization of the need
of live stock on farms, and that such
stock . are fed largely upon straw,
grass and hay, which are inexpensive
compared to ttte high prices of all
coarse grain. 'Ohs branch of cattle -
raising has been adversely affected,
that of number of dairy cows. The
labor question and high price of grain
have made it, increasingly difficult, to
operate the dairy herds have been re-
duced slightly in number but it is
gratifying to note, have largely gone
to farmers who are not specializing
to a iarked extent, so that ultimate-
ly th re may not be as great a de-
- crease as at first appears in the total
number of cows being milked and I
think it was really a marvel how so
many were milked the last two years,
owing to help, for many Manitojta
farms Were sty reducedInhelp that I
know personally, some young ladies
whose brothers were away to the war,
after handling the ribbons (not silk
ones) over a four horse team all day
on a binder; and probably cutting 20
acres of golden grain, in the day.,
would have to milk a number of eows
after dark, and I can assure you that
our longest days, dark does not come
till ten o'clock. With such a combin-
ation of pluck, courage, loyalty and•
ability -our young Canadian woman-
hood stands on a pedestal as high as
our khaki boys. One feature of the.
live sock industry that augurs well
for the province, is the increasing
tiade in stockers and feeders for use
on Manitoba farms, and the steady
increase in sheep stocks. There are
two distinct features of the industry
and will make for the improvement
of general agriculture, which is evi-
dent on every hand, for many farmers
who are farming only a half section
are planning to keep a flock of sheep
in the nem future, for outside of the
fine profits in lambs and well, they've
seen what they have done for their
neighbors' farms in the way . of clear-
ing up -weeds Even what we call
Frenchweed or stink weed is cropped
so close to the ground arid so often
that it is killed outright and I predict
in a short time, that every half see -
ti oc, of farm we) h a . re it s (1 e nta of
sheep and such mutton our smacient
prairie grali produces. How the il-
lusions of the pioneer days have van-
ished like a mist -that this was no
country for sheep. The Wise sages
of those days said we had a porcu-
pine grass that would work into the Fel
wool and into the body of sheep, eie
entually killing them. I need hardly E

might be expected it was horse talk to

among other ailments:- he -mentioned
"FOR evil" At thet'faourek" of that
word Poll evil, the oia darkey sprang
to his feet and exeaih*ed: "excuse me,
gentlemen, but this Is -"tee question dear

I would like to tell Yhtt whit A heap

The wool clipped from •?11 sheep in the

sheep raising has, comparatively
speaking, only just started and the . . .
in-
terest in the enterprise is growing
; by- leaps • and bounds and I am- pleas-
ed to take note of that.' for after all
there is no stock so easily handled as
sheep. If I was 4. young man again
I would copy Lot's example ,only not
in its entirety. It would be fine to
see the plains of Abraham' teeming
with sheep, but not the picture in the
background Of -the typical' shepherd
with his crook but A crook at the wheel

raised to -day and we can again at-
tend ,and probably we will more fully
appreciate the good of an open church
door. What darkness must have pre-
vailed in the past centuries when they
did not enjoy these great privileges,
and how much better would it ' have
been now, if Germany had won. Great
as the sacrifice has-been, it was worth

hi connection with the following re, -
port it should be Teo e in mind that,
on account of the school being closed
for five weeks the tests, by which the
standing of die pupils was determin-
ed, were considerably- less difficult
than would have been given under
ordinary circumstances at this time
of the year. Ways and means are be.
ing devised, however, and a strong
effort put forth to speed up instruc-
tion in all of the rooms in order to
'make up as far as is peasible for the
time lost. Parents should therefore,
see that,- except in case of illness their
children do not lose one 'half day, and
that they give their studies sufficient
attention at home. Otherwise they
will require another year to cover the

-The Brusels Pest of last week,
says: "There were forty poles downed
ed by Tuesday's wind and sleet storm
of last week North of Brussels and
27 or more south, The poles that were
not brokeh, in some cases, were hoisted
from their nositions although im-
bedded five feet in the ground. Some
48 wires were carried on the cross -
arms and when coated with ice each
wire was aearly the size of a' man's
thumb. The poles were replaced
8outhward Monday afternoon of this
week and the wires are being set to
rights. Northward the refitting can-
not be done until the arrival of a cable
into which the wires will be placed:
Weather conditions will have much to
do with the time necessary to complete
the contract. It will be a heavy bill
of expense but the Company intended
making the change anyhow but under
more propitious condition& Work will
be pushed along as quickly as possible
-so that the service will be at the dis-
posal of the numerous. patrons. Peo-
ple only began to find out what a ser-
viceable utility the telephone is by its
dislocation for a time. Most of the
part -v lines are working as well as
usual.
