"The human race," he said, 'for a hundred years has been living on its capital. In' the midst of wealth it has grown poorer. It is now beginning to find the limits of its boasted poveer over nature in the exhaustion of nature itself. The adoption of a proper pol- icy of conservation needs the\stimula • tion of public' opinion." • QUEBEC PUTS SEAPLANES TO WORK • The Quebec Forest Service has made effective use of seaplanes to inspect forest conditions on the wa- Orsheli_ of.: the Nateshcouan river. In seven horde, the observer, Mr. Meth- ot,`F,E., was able to make a sketch of the present situation of nearly '3,000 .miles of forests. At the same time, a land party was examing the same area and when they were back, two months later, the .reports pre- sented by. both parties were compar- ed and found to be practically identi- cal. This system will be continued hereafter as there are numerous see - tions of the Province,on which the' 'Government has repots, which are twenty and thirty years old and must be brqught to date since fires; insect plagues and windfalls may have 'brought changes in the interval, BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SPRING The Spring is a time of, anxiety to mothers who have little ones in the home.

The Ku Klux Klan is sus- pected of having first tortured and then murdered two men named Daniel and Richards, whose .1—Jetties, (months after they had disappeared, were found in a lake,- The Klan is more than suspected; it is known; that $iansmen committed the crime. It seems doubtful; if any indictments will be returned unless the State is able DTI have a change 'of venue. In the local- ity where the murders were commit- ted it would be impossible to draw a jury that was not made up largely of klansmen. From an' Aiti#16 in the Nation we gather that the' story of the murder begins twenty-five years Wham! erbaps,had lta source in the .r valmbetween, two neighbori g mir>te,'thatt, Of ,Mer" Rouge and Bas. trap, At that• title' dile%pf4ncipal di- vision of 'what is now • the 'Missouri- Paclfc•Railsead was;surveyed through t e te: Pt wn rieb. f fitwas trop proatete. thrthiounggh oo ery wan ready for construction work to begin, when there was suddenly an- nounced a change of plans, The line was to be built through Mer Rouge instead. It appears that Captain Davenport, head of the mopt influential family in Mer Rouge, had carried on secret negotiations with the directors of the railroad, and had brought about the change. This was a great Move to Bastrop. There was a general col- lapse of real estate 'values, but a steady increasing ,hatred of the more fortunate Mer Rouge. Capt. Daven- port gloated over his successful di- plomacy, and did bis gloating in his weekly newspaper. Ile said that the time had come when Mer Rouge, in- stead of Bastrop, -should/ become the parish seat, and in his vainglory he set aside a square in Mer Rouge for the new court house. Bastrop was thoroughly alarmed. Its own weekly paper, edited byjs, man named Mc - Means, who had a keen wit and a power of ridicule, attacked thea bom- bastic 1Davenport to such good pur- pose that Davenport issued a chal- lenge for a duel. McMeana. continu- ed to ridicule him, and eventually the project of transferring the parish seat was dropped. The enmity be- tween the' two hamlets then smo6ld- ered for a time, hutbroilout sud- denly in 1914. The Board of County Supervisors, called in Louisiana a police jury, de- cided to build a new courthouse. There were two ways of raising the funds, one by a bond issue to• be voted on by all the electors of the parish, and the other by a mill tax imposed arbitrarily by the police jury. Since the court house was to be erect- ed in Bastrop, it was feared that in a general vote the Mer Rouge malcon- tents might defeat the project, so the police jury imposed a tax, and con- tracts had been issued before Mer Rouge knew what was happening. It was furious, and started a lawsuit which went to the Supreme Court be- fore the rights of the police jury were finally confirmed. Now at the bottom of the hostility. between the two little town's lies the fact that they are com- posed of a different class of pee , e. Tn Mer Rouge one sees the renal of the old Southern aristocracy. The residents are educated people as a zule, people of leisure and sufficient means. In Bastrop the people work for their living. They are of the in- dustrial type, especially of late years since the discovery' oft gas and oil resources has given the town a boom. Om type despises the other, and the vletims.of the Klan were of the Mer Rouge faction, ' , The Bastrop people strongly sus- pect the Mer Rogge people of being immoral. They were able to lay in a stock'of liquor before the place went -dry, and they continue to play poker, at least the younger men do, ane they are accused by the Bas- trop censors of eyeing with approval pretty girls of whatever color. They hold the .len liluitelcian in contempt, but in Bastrop .the Klan is popular. It is believed to centre in the Bap - that church, the clergymen of which is supposed to be a klansman. The local Keagle is Captain Skipwith, and he is a member of the church. The local Judge is the Sunday School superintendent. 'Sheriff 'Carpenter, a klansman, and the• district attorney, suspected of membership also attend the church. It is supposed that the reason 'Bastrop joined the Klan was because it saw in Mer Rouge another Sodom ready to be destroyed, and the Klan pretends to stand for morality and Americanism, especially for that sort of morality whose violation does not expose the violators to the ordin- ary law. The Bastrop klan, therefore began to regulate Mer Rouge to the best of ,its ability. But ignoranty intolerant and jealous though the leaders of the Klan in Bastrop may be, one hardly visualizes them as murderers. Probably they were not the actual slayers pf Daniel and Richards. The rear -slayers were probably members of the Klan who drifted into the neighborhood of Bas- trop after the discovery of the gas and oil resources. In the clearings through the woods great carbon plants were built up here and there, and workmen came from other districts to operate them. Manx of these work- men wereyoung men.- They had nothing to do in the evening. There were no movies in the woods, and moonshine liquor .was scarce. Time hung heavy on their hands. They joined, the Klan as an escape from boredom, and thought it fine fun to garb themselvet in the uniform and speed abt. through the darkness im- posing the moral law upon defence- less people. They yielded implicit obedience to the orders of Skipwith, • Send for free boot giving fun part]*. wars of 'French's world-famous rep - Y Horns roo4t;Itkn tue statim for Epilepsy No IIoi 11S war Ftaatsos r,' ,': _ and Fits—simple U 11111 o o, s p unoatr home treatment, doorstops horns. ones pieeuyn., Over a0406ee el000i, sare,Taahnonfalx from oi,00t B dodo it, spelt or.,t otola ret any. of tae wort over MOO n mise,-, Write at once to: chi. coo. etnin ro.tpp�aeo fit rent Tstsnott'S REMEDIES LIMITED dwton, FLEMIae anew. + 2807 et.Jamegoaambers,70adetaideSbE. 420 WeWngton W.

MAPPING TIMBER FROM THE AIR Important progress has been made dpring the past year in the develop- ment of forest type mapping from the air. In British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec much work of this nature has been done from the Air Force Stations. Topographical detail not shown on existing maps is first- sketched in from the air on the map and the for- est types are then added. The importance of this work cannot be over-estimated as it enables those responsible for the forests to gain reliable information regarding dis- tricts of which practically nothing is known to -day. The value of the timber can be estimated quickly and easily, and lumbering operations are greatly facilitated by means of the additional informatibn made avail- able. SUNDAY AFTERNOON (By Isabel Hamilton, Goderich, Ont.) "Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say; Hell to -day is vanquished; Heaven is won to -day; Lo! the Dead is living, God for ever- more! Him, their true Creator, all - His ' works adore; "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. Earth with joy confesses, clothing her for spring, All geed gifts return with her return- ing King; Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough, Speak His sorrows ended, hail His triumph now: Hell to -day is vanquished! Heaven is won to -day! (Venautius Fortunetus). Prayer. O God, the King of Glory, who on this day didst raise Thy Son Christ Jesus from the dead, giving him vic- tory over fear and sin and sorrow, we beseech Thee to, make us partak- ers of His Glorious Resurrection to- day. Lift us above the fear of this world. 'Strengthen us, that we may trample upon our besetting sins. Redeem us from all the power of things dying and corruptible, and raise us up together with Christ, that we also may walk in newness of life. O Thou who hast brought immortal- ity to Iight in Thy gospel, we give - Thee thanks for the certainty of the 4orld, to come. We bless Thy holy name for all Thy servants departed this life in,Thy faith and fear. Keep us in everlasting fellowships with our brothers and sisters who have enter- ed already into the joy of their Lord. And give us grace that we too may finish our course faithfully, and con- tinue in Thy love even to the end. Amen. W. Robertson Nicoll. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON -FOR APRIL 1st, 1923 Lesson Title—The . Walk to Em - manus. Leeson Passage—Luke 24 : 13-31. Golden Text—Luke 24 • 5. 6. One of the fundamentals of the Christian Church is belief in the re- surrection of Christ. In the gospels there are recorded ten appearances of the Saviour after his resurrection. There was something strange about His risen body that prevented instant recognition. It was only when Mary heard the tender tones of His voice that she knew Him for her Master; before that, He had been to her just the gardener. In the interview re- corded in this lesson, neither face nor voice was recognized by the two to whom He appeared. This is the fourth occasion of' His appearing. First of all it was Mary Magdalene who saw Him, then others of the women, afterwards Peter, and now the two, one only being named—Cleo- pas. All of these appearances were on the day He rose from the grave, now called "the first day of the week eiUx oh, ' Mop' t tier t was, tllvo clppe r t, agtefr 'l ave tri oticegnsp t rn talldrig l y y themaelve 'this is what ,bey,for in verse l4 15 we , red, " -t ` y talked tar getber of alethe s; .which ha bappened;, ands o F . , olnmuned,.'to- gether ape reasoae : y'' The use the worth) • lifu,, nd reason.'d shows ow �p t'"� concerned C o, ho cern they. were about tli� `outcome of the events of the past dela, These were indeed- crucial threes ; and required that reason .be not' dethroned. Just here, as it ever is,' Christ drew near and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not, know Him (verse 16).: To them He was merely a stranger who, unob- served by them, so deep were they immersed in their own 'thoughts and words, had slipped up 'beside them. Then too, in Mark 16.12 we read, "Af- ter that He appeared to another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country." Beside this, not really belieting that he had risen, they were not expecting to meet Him.

The mind of the populace, it is said, was neverl so ready as to -day to listen to the message of a gospel which bids a than come not to church or priest but to a saving and Divine Lord. (The Continent). "And He said unto them; What manner of communications are these that we have one to another, as ye walk and are sad?" (verse 17). He was an observant stranger, for He saw that they were deep in conver- sation op some subject that made them sad, and He couldn't help re- marking upon it We them, so it would appear. They were startled. and one of them voiced their amazement by asking him a question; Could it be possible that there was even one stranger, at the Passover, who had failed to note the strange things that had happened, and about which there had been much talk? He confirmed this opinion in them by'asking, "What things?" A lengthy answer is giv- en in verse 19 in which they speak of Jesus, not as the Messiah, but as Jesus of Nazareth. His death had ed them to doubt His being the Mes- siah; but they knew His history and Ilis works, so it was the things,, they actually knew that they told. No doubt could be cast upon His being a wonderful prophet, powerful in word and deed. "Never man spake like his man." The marvellous miracles done by Him could not be disputed; o they talked freely to Him about 11 these things. Then they proceed - d to tell the mournful story of His etrayal and crucifixion, tenderly add - ng, "But we trusted that it had been He which should have redeemed Is- nel• and beside all this, to -day is the hird day since these things were one." (Verse „21). By their very oice, as well as words, tite'y"eonvey- d to Him their disappointment and heir now hopeless outlook on life. However they did not overlook the ay of hope in' the news brought by he women who had paid a very early visit to the sepulchre. They gays Him the details of that message and ow it was 'confirmed by certain of he- disciples, but ended, with, "but Him they saw not" (verse 24). The stranger listened without in- terrupting their story, and when they ad ended He said unto them= -"O ools." If they had not looked criti- ally at Him before, they certainly ould on hearing themaejes thus ddressed. In Matt; 3,22 , we read esus' own words—"Whosoever shall ay 'Thou fool' shall be in..{anger of ell fire." Fool here is 'a, •different cord• from the one Jesus used in peaking to the two. The' one im- lies contempt, the other weakness ✓ thoughtlessness. He wished to ouse them up to see that they had een slow in realizing the truth of he things foretold of the Messiah. hey listened to a wonderful old Tes- ament story, giving step by step, an nterpretation of the Messiah as seen herein. The most striking passages n the writings of Moses arid the pro- hets, foretelling the character and ufferings of Christ, which he would ost likely refer to, in order to con - ince them that though He was cru- ified yet He was the Christ, are the ollowing: Gen. 3.11; Deut. 18.16 ; en, 49,10; Num. 21.8.9; Isa. 53; Dan. .25-27; Isa. 9. 6. 7 ; Ps, 90. 1-22; al. •42.6. He made as though He would have one further (verse 2S). He kept on s if it was not His intention to stop; nd no doubt He would have gone on they had not urged Him to tarry. But they constrained Him, saying, bide with us." They gave Him a r•esaing invitation to remain with hem at the place where they were oing to stop for the night. They ad been impressed with His conver- ation and were unwilling to part ompany so soon, with this most in - resting stranger, so they said.— Abide with us." The table was soon pread and He sat down with then-, nd at once took His place as Master 1 the feast. This no doubt attract - <I their attention, and recalled to ind the feast in the upper room, here "He took the bread and bless - d it and break, and gave to them" as e was now doing. It may have een, as He did this, that they saw o print of the nails in His hands. t any rate "their eyes were opened nd they knew Him." With that He anished odt of their sight; slipped *nee as they looked at each other in edeerfecd."t amazement that he is "Risen We learn from this narrative: (1) That when two hold converse gether about the things of Christ, e comes and makes a third and joins their fellowship—"Where two or ree are gathered together in my me, there am I in the midst of em."
