Stewart Bros., Seaforth 1 PARLIAMETABY tETTER • Ottawa, April alst.•—Most of them feeling fat and ready for the hard work which awaits them, the ;members- are - back from their Easter Yanationa and the .halls 'oi Parliaenent have once more taken on an appearance of ac- tivity. The ,Progressive members came back to something of a shock w.hlth .they found that the legal opin- ion seas to the effect that reconsti- tution of the Canada Wheat Board with compulsory powers, as asked by the Canadian Council Association, went against them. The decision did not come as a general 'surprise, for there, had been very great questions, even in the minds of some of the Progressive :members themselves, whether or not the government had any legal night 'to appoint such a board. The former Board had been appointed in war time and under :the War Measures Act, which is long Mince dead, and now that the veer time and the acts passed thea,, were equaliy ended, appointments of a!wheat board with its consequent interitererce with the private rights of :bade, was a 'much bigger ,question than it had been formerly. The matter will be threshed out again, of Course, when the findings of the law officers co.me before Parliament for debate, as they undoubtedly will do, and while the outcome of it all is somewhat uncer. tain, it is expected that the next step will be a demand for submission of a stated case to the 'Supreme Court, or a search for an alternative plan, coupled perhaps with a demand for amendment of the British North America Act to allow the Parliament in future whatever powers were nec- essary. That Act, however, could not be amended in time for the appointment of a board under it, as it would seem at this juncture as though the :gov- ernment must take other steps if it would meet the call of •the western grain growers for a body capable of handling the 1922 crop. • • • Chief interest at the present mom- ent centres in the coming statement of Hon. W. C. Kennedy anent the Canadian Government Merchant Mar- ine and its losses. In the former Parliament, it will be remembered, this annual statement was made by Hon. C. C. Ballantyne whose brain- child, the seemingly ill-fated collec- tion of steamers was, but it was sim- ply a case of Mr. Eallantyne doing the honors of a department which W11,8 really not his own. The C. G. M. M. vessels are handled really by the directorate of the .OP adian Na- tional Railways, and when .the new government came into power Hon. Etleest Lapointe, who succeeded Hon. Mr. Ballantyne, was quite willing that the honors of the department should rest in their proper places, namely on the shoulders of the Min- ister of Railways. As a result Of this, it will be for Mr. Kennedy to tell the House how mush the ships have loot during the last year, What the figures will be is uncertain; but, undoubtedly, it will be large, singe many of .item have been tied up at various wharves and at the same titre eating up money in the wages crews who have been kept on the job. Last year Mr. Ballantyne show- ed aeort of paper profit on the ships, but this year it would seem that not even a paper profit could be declared. Within a few days now the country will know the worst and will also know what the government ,proposes in the way of policy for continuance of its shipping ventures. The shipping situation is something like the railways, in that the govern- ment has the ships stn its hands and could not dispose of them at the pres- ent time. At the same. time, while the conditions of trade have notvm- proved to any appreciable extent, it is noticeable that on the other side of the Atlantic the British shipyards are more active than they have been for a long time, and British shipping interreatn are apparently •making a bid to retain the supremacy of their merchant marine.

Fielding's budget Spee, -h. Just when that will come is also indefinite, but it will not be long now before the veteran M.inieter of Finance is able to place his taxation proposals in fairly cam.plete form before bus cab- inet colleagues. Mr. fielding has al- saving comes into effect on April 301 ready given his customary warning and :the betting is dollars to dough. , And He will not say, No. And in any to all who wish to make representa- nuts that Parliament will fall in lines wonderfulhe we works? Andt Hene willr not say, No. But He will say, "Then I will profess unto them I never knew brass and you can only see crit of the little end of the horn. How very inadequate is the tender- est sympathies, and the most gushing .mouth service in timws like these; how, far short of the Christ epizit teaching and practice. "Lord, when saw we Thee 'hungry and fed Thee;. thirsty and gave Thee drink; .a strangler and took Thee in; 'sick or in prisors and came undo Thee. And the King shall answer and say, Verily I say unto you, in as much as you have done it unto one of these, the least of my brethren, you have done it unto Me." Be, who was rich, became :poor that He might make the poorest rich. He who was the Master of all became the servant of all, that all aright learn to serve. As the neater He went about doing good, teaching. preaching, healing every sickness and every disease among the people with- out price, and yet they forgot 'Him when His days' work was done. It was He who had compassion on the famished multitudes and fed them to the full. He healed all who had need of healing as a free gift of His love, with His word and touch. But they forgot Him or were -indif- ferent to His needs. They went to their own comfortable homes, rested for the night in their downy beds, but the Healing Hand went alone to the mountain to pray. Be slept on .the leaves, .perhaps with a atone for His pillow; the sky for His covering from the dew and the rain, and the twinkling of the stars for His candle light. Is there not something radically wrong with the working gear of our religious life and practice? Do we not lack in our .ministry the real help- fulness of the Christ and Christian- ity? We raise millions for the conversion of the heathen. We equip and endow homes of hope for the rescue of the fallen, outcast and the menace of society. We take them in, feed, clothe, house and tenderly care for them and nurse them back to health and strength, free of cost to them, in the uncertain hope that we may send them forth to fight the battle of right against wrong; when we know that the majority fail and the money is wasted. But what of the Missionaries who have given their best and their all for the uplifting of sin -stricken, disease -smitten humanity in the Muster's stead? When his strength is gone and sickness overtakes him, or his companion in the ♦arfare, or the children are ill, and famine, even in a land of plenty, has enthroned it- self in the kitchen cupboard? When his fianances are exhausted? When he can no longer hold up his end of the. yoke, in his labor of love, where is the open door for him and his? Who comes out on the street and tenderly and lovingly takes him by the arm, saying, "Come home with me and I will give you and yours food, rest and shelter free of charge? Who gives him the free hand and open paler and warn welcome that is given to the profligate, the drunk- ard and the harlot, who, not infre- quently, only.accept the hospitality to recuperate, to renew their carnal aesires as soon as they have recover- ed from their debauch? What a farce to go into the home of the needy and simply read a pass- age of Scripture, and generally pray an unbelieving prayer for the sick; to offer words of condolence in be- reavement and sorrow to the living; to pass resolutions of sympathy for the' bereaved ones; to spend money for a beautifully engraved card to hang on the wall, and never ask the direct question, Is the rent paid up for the week? Have you bread in the cupboard for the day? Is there opal in the cellar? Is the gas bill for the past month paid? 0, the shame of 'misplaced Human Sympathy. The want of Christ -like- ness is eating the heart out of the church and embittering the world, and all together ere being driven to despair, destruction and damnation. It is not the "sayers" but the "doers" who shall inheeit the King- dom of God. Hear the words of the Master: "Not every one who saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who doeth the will of My Father who is in, Heaven." Many will say unto Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name?" And He will not. say, "No." And in Thy name have we not. cast out demons?" ed in any part of Canada. !Frank Cahill (Pontiac), that a spe- cial committee be named to consider immigration and emigration and re- port on the beet means of securing good immigrants.

Most of the rural members objected to daylight saving and some of the members from prban constituencies, while they were not madly in faygor, did not, want to pass a law prohibiting anyone from doing anything. The interesting fea- ture of it is that in Ottawa daylight ,you, depart from Me ye that work iniquity"; that is, you towhee ends. you w 411 not show your love to Me by caring for the levet of My disciples an their time of need, We should not do less for the un- forbunMies, la* we should also do mom tri s 'practical 'way for those who have given their beet for the general good We show our kris, faith stud featly to Jesus CMOs whose servants we preforms to be, by our works harmonising with our • words, all according to His revealed will and way.

'The binder was purchased on the 19th of April, 1884, cutting that season's crop and the crop on three and four hundred acres for nine years. Then after a Battle overhauling it cut the crop on one hundred acres for six years. The little drive pinion in the gear broke in two just as it , misted cutting the crap of 1898. That made fifteen years for the old wood -frame binder, which certainly would be equal to twenty-one years at the very• least on an ordinary 100 -acre farm, and it tied equal ko the gond steel binders of to -day and a good deal better than some of them for the last six years.. I doubt if there has been an old wood frame binder that can beat this record in the County of Harron. THOMAS CANN, London, Ont.
