Again in verses 8 and 9 he continues the charge,. aeetasing them of dealing cruelly with womeXn, and children and other harmless folk He then tells how they will be hum- bled for such sins by., Him who is the righteous God, that judges between man and man, and is an Avenger on them that do wrong. Their goodly land, Canaan, the Promised Land would be a grievous loss. "Thou shalt have none to cast a cord by lot, in the congregation of the Lord." There would be none to divide inheri- tances, because there shall be no in- heritance to divide; no courts to de- termine controversies about lands or cast lots upon them, for all shall be in the enemies' hand. After these threatenings of wrath the chapter concludes (verse 12, 13) with prom- ises of mercy which were in part ful- filled when the Jews returned from Babylon and accomplished in the days.. 7f the gospel when Christ united both Jews and Gentiles in one fold. In chapter 3, Micah grows very bold in reproving and threatening the great men who were ringleaders in sin. Princes and prophets had be- trayed their trusts and the prophet in the power of the Spirit of the Lord denounced them for leading the people astray. The judgment passed upon them was then foretold. "Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed as a field." This was literally fulfilled when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. The sin of priests and princes is often °the ruin of states and churches. "The kings are' be - maddened, and the people suffer for it." In chapters 4 and 5 is foretold the goodness of God toward the Chris- tian church. Then, after relating the precious promises made towards the Messiah's kingdom, the prophet recounts in chapter 6 the history of God's dealings with his people and then, speaking for God, they are challenged to show what He had done against them, which might have giv- en them occasion to desert Him. (Verses 1-5). The people, on hearing these words, express their wish to be at peace with God upon any terms (v. 6, 7) "Wherewith shall I come before the Lord?" "What shall I give for my transgression, for the sin of my soul ?" They made proposals, but these betrayed their ignorance, though they showed their zeal. "Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil, or with their first born?" Those that are thoroughly convinced of sin, of the malignity of it, and of their misery and danger by reason of it, would give all the world, if they had it, for peace and pardon. God told them plainly what he de- manded and insists upon, from those that w :uid be accepted of Him. (v. 8). "He hath showed thee, .0 man, wi--t, is tread: and what doth the Lord require of thee, hut to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" God, having shown them the necessity for acting, justly in all their dealings, proceeded to point out to them how unjustly they had acted (v. 9-12). Then followed the judgment for such guilty deal- ings. "Thou shalt he made desolate because of thy sins (v. 13) and a de- solation and a hissing." (v. 16). Sin makes a nation desolate; and when a people that have been famous and flourishing, are made desolate, it is the astonishment of some and the triumph of others; some lament it, and others hiss at it. Their enemies, seeing the condition into which they had fallen, would say, "These are the people of the Lord!" In chapter 7 the prophet laments that there were in his day so few gond people to be found, even among those that were called God's people; "The good man is perished out of the earth; and there is none upright among men." Not only does he bemoan the ab- sence of the good people, but he grieves over the multitudes of wick- ed who did all the evil in their power. There was a general lack of faith in each other. The times were indeed had when all sense of natural affec- tion has ceased and when parents had no satisfaction in their families. The prophet crying, "Woe is me!" was in a like mood to that of Elijah when he cried, "I, even I only, am left." -(Condensed from Matthew Henry's Bible). WORLD MISSIONS The Bhil country is much more ac- cessible than formerly, since the ad- vent of the motor car and the im- provement of the roads. Horseback is still much in favor along the bridle paths of the Bhil jungle, but the long-suffering Ford penetrates even to remote points and so Amphat can be reached now in comparative lux- ury. More important than comfort are such matters as strategic centres for the work and a supply of labor- ers for the harvest. "Give us conse- crated earnest missionaries, a n d their support," says the doughty pioneer of this work, "and we can take the Bhil country for Jesus Christ. This is the day of God's vis- itation for the Bhil nation. Shall we go up and possess the land ? "—Rev. G. P. Bryce, Rasalpura: I TOLD YOU SO (By R. J.

All this by the way of pointing out that predic- tions sometimes come true, that chick- ens come 'home to roost—remarkable evidence of wisdom for a mere hen— and that the dire prophesies of ruin made by certain manufacturers are just as far from the naked truth as heaven is above the earth and as the average farmer is from the income tax worries of the millionaire. c"d he t 1 e Is 'c •',dcs1 0 4 r If you shays up Torii', in,..ono place you nu ohove thein up in another and •if ,.people. are s aiaa;polled to parmore for shoes,, they' have, We to Pay for gloves, hats -and coats and the result is that `business' falls off . nd • manufacturers begin to . worry. Having never heard of any other remedy for the evils of bust- n'ess- depression besides high pariffs, they appeal to the Government for ,another bottle of the Elixir of Life to which they have so often gone and when the remedy fella to stimulate they feel they have not received en- ough of it and continue pl'aintiffly to ask for more and still more. , The Shoemakers' Trials. Boot manufacturers came before the Tariff Board some time ago and pleaded their case with eloquence and power. The Tale they told was this: "Boots, especially men's boots, were coming in from Great Britain and be- cause these boots came in from Great Britain they were not made in Can- ada and so Canada was losing the em- ployment that should come to this country and if we had only made our boots at home, heaven for the manu- facturers would be at hand." About this matter they were terribly sad and their faces grew long as a horse and their voices as plaintiff as the voice of a seal. Now they should not have worried. The total imports of boots from Great Britain were approxim- ately $1,000,000 and it was pointed out to the, manufacturers that the best that could be hoped from a tariff would be to keep out one-half of this amount and that a far greater benefit to them would come from improved conditions could not come from high tariffs which lessen purchasing power ana therefore restrict the capacity of the people to buy. The Government is Wise. • Now remember the Government could have granted the prayer of the manufacturers. It could have in- creased the tariff on shoes. That is the plan which Mr. Meighen advocat- ed in the 1925 election as the sov- ereign remedy for all troubles. That is the scheme to which he still stuck in the election of 1926. But it was not done. Another year has rolled around and now we have the report of the Boot and Shoe Industry in the year. 1926. What has happened? The industry is more prosperous than ev- er before. Production is over 4,000,- 000 pairs greater than in those dull days when Mr. Meighen was in charge of the Government in 1921. It is over 2,000,01)0 pairs greater titan 1924. It is almost 2,500,000 pairs greater than in 1925. Last spring the shoe manufacturers were telling the Tariff Board how much more prosperous they would he if they could get the increased volume of business which would come from the restriction of half a million dollars worth of im- ports from England. 1926 production is over $6,000,000 more than it was the year before. How paltry seems the relief which they proposed com- pared to the actual result which fol- lowed the policy of non-interference adopted by the Liberal Government. The manufacturers protested particu- larly against the importation of men's shoes, but last year in the Dominion of Canada we produced over $2,500,- 000 worth more of men's shoes than we did in the previous year.

Now the moral of the whole tale is this: Mr. Meighen's proposed rem- edy in 1925—increated tariffs—was the wrong remedy for Canadian con- ditions at that time. This remedy in 1926 was equally wrong, equally stupid. What Canada‘ needed then was lower tariffs—not higher tariffs. What 'Canada needs now is not high- er, but lower tariffs. Increased pur- chasing power is far more to the ad- vantage of the Canadian Manufactur- er than increased tariffs. If proof were needed it lies in the fact that Canada to -day is more prosperous than any other country in the world— and among its prosperous industries is the -business of manufacturing shoes and the increase in production last •year was greater, barring war years —than in any other equal period of the life of the industry. Trouble Signs For Those Past 40 Bladder Weakness, Nervousness, Head- aches, Frequent, Painful, Scanty ....Urination, Getting -up -Nights The embarrassing annoyance and genuine misery of Bladder Weakness, often brings "discomforts of old age" to those who really ought to be in the very prime of life. Countless thousands, perhaps sev- en out of ten, of folks near middle life are pitiful victims of Headaches, Nervousness, Pains in back and down through groins, frequently but scanty and painful urination—Getting-up- nights. While serious, if neglected—it is ordinarily a simple matter to relieve these troubles by the pleasant home use of Dr. Southworth's URATABS, which have been victorious in thou- sands of cases, after other treatments have failed. No matter how serious or of how long standing your condition may be, you can quickly prove the value of URATABS without risk of cost—for any good druggist will supply you on an absolute guarantee of satisfaction or money back. If URATABS bring you quick and certain comfort, you will be greatly pleased. If they do not fully satisfy, their use will cost you nothing. Try URATABS to -day, and see what a difference they make. ANTI -FREEZE CHICKENS AND CHAMPION DOGS In the mind of the general public the monastic life is usually associat- ed with a complete withdrawal from the world and all mundane interests and activities, whereas the real truth is that most of the large monasteries are miniature industrial 'worlds, pro- ducing not only all they require for their own support and consumption, but often supplying the markets of cities and towns with useful goods. An outstanding example of such a monastery is that of La Trappe, sit- uated four miles from the little vil- lage of Oka, in the Province of Que- bec, and thirty miles from Montreal. The buildings, of which there are sev- eral, stand high above the river, ov- erlooking the beautiful lake of Two Mountains, and directly opposite Como, a ferry connecting the two vil- lages. Como has a good train service to Montreal, and a motor bus runs from that city to Oka, passing the monastery en route. Though the monastery itself is, of course, closed to the public, most of its farming and other features of in- terest, notably the poultry farm and the cheese factory, are. open for in- spection during certain hours, and there is always a brown -serge clad monk to act as cicerone. In addition', to an extensive general farm, poultry and cheese constitute the two main outside industries of the monks—Oka cheese is famed throughout the prov- ince of Quebec, and the factory is on a large scale, many hundreds of pounds being shipped annually to city markets. • Those who followed the course of the recent International Poultry Con- gress at Ottawa know of the Chant- ecler breed of fowls, which is the ex- clusive property of the Oka Trap- pists, and has been brought to its present state of perfection by Bro- ther Wilfrid, who is in charge of the plant, covering twenty-one acres. It is twenty years since the idea of de- veloping a distinctively Canadian breed of poultry, which should be suitable to the severe climatic condi- tions of the Canadian winter, first en- tered the mind of Brother Wilfrid, and from a minute beginning has grown up the highly scientific and flourishing concern that it is now= - thousands of chickens beiltg hatched and reared annually in the Iong, low buildings, with their up-to-date equip. went. The main points which differentiate the Chanteclers from all other breeds of fowls lies in the elimination of .the comb and *rattles, these being the valise of intense suffering to the birds, Ifthey y freeze curio the wrote they fare an absolutel g ey y '�itlre „WJgite geT�» Very eomptlet and neat iii buil incl appearance, - ,SSet. ngti of eggs er dtiy-olcl cidg mr�.p; a *alio •.tduring.:,tbe ;re fI As free from dust as tc season from Brother Wilfrid, and the eggs that are sold for household use are purchasable in Montreal or direct from the monastery. They are free from any taint or germ, the laying hens being fed entirely on a special diet of milk and • sed liver oil treated with violet rays, and are therefore especially suitable for hospital use and for the diet of delicate children and tubercular cases. During the, winter Brother Wilfrid conducts 'short courses of instruction in scientific poultry breeding, and they are always well attended. In the room where these classes are held he has set up complete models of the houses and equipment required for such an industry. Plans forsmall plants to acconunodateieither four hundred or one hundred birds may al- so be obtained from him 'free of charge at the farm. Next to his chickens, Brother Wil- frid loves his dogs. He has been a breeder of Great Danes for twenty- one years, and in his office hangs the skin of the famous Golden Brindle Dane from which he bred his founda- tion stock. This dog was many times prize winner, and his . descendant, Punch TH., has already carried off four first prizes at Montreal shows. He is regarded as the reigning king of the Oka kennels. Brother Wilfrid has also taken honors with smooth fox terriers. The Irish setters in the kennels are bred from the celebrated stock be- longing to Mr. Amedee Trudeau, of Longueil, Quebec. Within the last year Brother Wil- frid has taken up the breeding of po- lice dogs. One of the females has proved a great attraction to visitors of late, and has broken the canine jumping record by clearing a palisade ten feet in height, the world's cham- pion having only succeeded in over- topping eight feet eleven inches. Gamine III. is trained for police and guard work, and follows close at the heels of Brother Wilfrid while he is escorting visitors over) the poultry plant. Flemish giant rabbits are also bred under the care and supervision of Brother Wilfrid, the skins being sent to Quebec to be cured, and are sold for furs. The skin of one rabbit is sufficient for a small collar on a lady's coat, two for a large one. The colors are very delicate. The monks manage a small apiary and also manufacture wine for the community. The latter used to be one of their outside industries, but of late years none has been put on the market. It is, of course, extremely difficult to obtain information as to the in- terior life of any religious commun- ity, but especially so of the Trappists, their rule of silence being only brok- en for special reasons, and relaxed for individual monks engaged in work that necessitates their being brought into contact with the public, such as that with which Brother Wilfrid is identified. There are several monas- teries on this continent belonging to the Trappists, who are themselves a branch of the Cistercian Order, and took their name from the village of La Trappe in France, where they built their first monastery. Their 'rule of life is the most austere; they are non -meat eaters and are only al- lowed two meals in the twenty-four hours. Apart from their - religious life they are noted for their skill as agriculturists the world over, and in the breeding and development,of live stock they excel. Their motto, "La- borare est Orare," ("To Labor is to Pray"), is Gamed out in every phase of their lives, and its efficacy is prov- ed by the success with which their efforts are invariably crowned. A monastery of this order was built some few years ago at Tracadie, Nova Scotia, which is now deserted, owing to the fact that the monks found, after they had developed their industries and brought their land up to a productive state, that they were too far from marketable centres; they therefore moved to Rhode Island, U. S.A., leaving their buildings stripped and for sale. The railway station called "Monastery," is on the C.N.R. on the way to Sydney. When I went over the property five years ago it was in the hands of a caretaker. There were few relics of the original inhab- itants remaining. Some of the wood- en sabots they made for their own use are now decorating the parlors of people who carried them off as tro- phies. The fields were returning tab their virgin state, the machinery,and implements were in the sheds. WOMEN SICKLIER BUT LIVE LONGER Women are sieklier than men,.. ac- cording to a study made by the Unit- ed States public health service, at Hagerstown, Md. This is not true of children, undo ten years of age, but it is true of ,other age -periods. The greatest dis- proportion is in the group, 30 to 35 years of age, where women have a sickness rate that is more than twice that of ,men at the same age period - The disproportion approaches two to one in all age groups 'between 20 and 65. Women have more colds, sore thoats and coughs than men do. Similar studies made in several other places by several other investi- gators have shown the same results. What are the women going to da about it? The illnesses which kept them away from work, from home duties and from school in this study were trivial illnesses in the main. The death rate of women is less than that of men. Their serious illness rate is lower. It is in minor disorders suss as colds, sore throats coughs, head- ache, backache, and disorders of that level', that they make such a bad showing. These can be overcome and their sickness rate from them can be brought to a level below that of men sick from- minor disorders. Women have shown their ability to overcome handicaps. In her "Personal Hygiene for Wo- men," Dr. CleIia Mosher tells us that the stature of women has inceeased several inches in recent years. This is because women lead more active lives, work more, play tennis and golf; ride horseback, hike and swim. By what may be called "taking thought" they have added several cubits to their stature. They eat more and their diet is more substantial. They eat less candy, salads and aandwiehea and' they drink less tea and soda. Theyeat more meat, bread, vegetables and fruit, and they drink more milk.. She also tells us that certain groups of muscles are stronger and better de- veloped in women than in men. Swim- ming instructors tell us that women learn swimming and floating easier than men. If women could accomplish all this in a health way we can expect therm to pull their sickness rate down. THE ONLY MEDICINE BABY HAS HAD Is What Thousands of Mothers Say of Baby's Own Tablets. Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else. Experience teaches her that they are without an equal for re- lieving baby of any of the many minor ailments which afflict him at one time or another. The Tablets never fail to be of benefit—they cannot possibly do harm as they are guaranteed to be free from all i rtjurious drugs. Concerning Baby's Own Tablets Mrs. Russell Hill, Norwood, Ont., says:—"I shall always have a good! word to say for Baby's Own Tablets_ I have given them to our baby girl.. In fact they are the only medicine she has ever had and I am proud to say - that she took second prize at our baby show. She is eleven months, old and weighs 22 pounds. No mother whose child is peevish or ailing will make ib mistake in giving Baby's Own Tab- lets." Baby's ,Own Tablets are sold by- medicine gmedicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
