In the Expositor's Bible on Acts we read the following: The conver- sations and intercourse between our Lord and His apostles during the forty days which elapsed from the resurreeticea to the ascension must have be of inter se interest, yet, like so iamb that we should esteem interesting concerning the heroes of Scripture and their lives, these things are wrapped round with thickest darkness. We get a glimpse of the risen Christ here and there. We are told (verse 3): He was conversing with is disciples touching the things concerning the kingdom of God. The Apostles shared the na- tional aspirations of the Jews at that time; what they expected was no spiritual institution, it was simply an earthly scene of material glory, where the Jews would once again he exalted above all surrounding na- tions, and the hated invader expelled from the fair plains of Israel. We can scarcely realize or understand the force and naturalness of this question: "Dost Theu at this time re- store the kingdom to Israel?" as put by these Galilean peasants till one takes up Archbishop Lawrence's translation of the book of Enoch, and sees how this eager expectation dom- inated every other feeling in the Jew- ish mind of that period, and was burned with the very secrets of their existence by the tyranny of Roman rule. In Christ's answer we see Him re- fusing to minister to mere human curiosity. He left men uncertain as to the time of His return that they might be fruitful workers in the great field of life. He promised them power and commissioned them to witness for Him both at home and abroad. 2 Cor. 8:1-9. In the last verse of the preceding chapter Paul expressed his entire confidence in the ready obedience of the Corinthians to his commands and wishes; all that had ever been asked of them had been done so now he pro- ceeds to excite them to diligence in completing the collection which they had begun for the poor and afflicted saints of Judea. This chapter is of importance in leading Christians at all times to consider liberal giving to good causes. In the first place Paul appeals to the very liberal example of the churches of Macedonia, where though they were exceedingly poor, they bad contributed with great cheerfulness and liberality to the ob- ject (verses 1-5). From their example he had been induced to desire Titus to lay the sub- ject before the church at Corinth and to finish the collection which he had begun (verse 6). He directs them to abound in this. not as a matter of commandment but excited by the example of others. (verses 7, 8). He appeals to them by the love of the Saviour; reminds them that though he was rich yet he became poor, and that they were bound to imitate his example (verse 9).— (Barnes' Commentary). Isealing aprings to repair the ravages made in their constitutiortsa by the arduous business of being kicked a- round by Republicans. In time it became not oply natural but impera- tive. Taggart was not able to pry Indiana out of the Republican column at presi- dential elections, but he achieved no mean feat when 411 1888 he kept Mar- ion county, in which Indianapolis is situated, from voting Republican though Benjamin Harrison, the Re- publican candidate, lived there. For a man who is elected president or ev- en for a man who is a candidate for the office to fail to carry his own polling booth was an extraordinary feat, and the Harrison rebuff early marked Tom Taggart as an extraord- inary man. He did not make the original discovery that the main thing of United Effort w. eat yowl wise hi elections was not platforms, may ments or speeches, but to get out the vote, but his whole plan of cam- paign was founded on this often -neg- lected principle. Taggart got out every vote that was available, and many of them were votes given be- cause he vsanted them given. Had he suddenly become Republican there is no doubt that he would have carried with him a lot of votes which he us- ed to deliver to the Democrats. The chief qualities which he brought to politics were his ability to remem- ber names and faces, a quality which Canadians will remember was develop- ed to an extraordinary degree by Sir John Macdonald; and a somewhat higher quality, a loyalty that forbade him ever to go back on a friend. This latteT was illustrated in one of the few unpleasant political incidents of Taggart's career. In 1915, with scores of other Democrats, he was ar- rested on a charge of election fraud. It was an easy matter for him to get bail but many of those accused with him were held in prohibitive sums. Taggart refused to accept his own liberty until he had arranged for bail for all. The charges were eventual- ly dropped for lack of sustaining evi- dence. His loyalty to Indiana was shown in his successful effort to have Thomas Marshall placed upon the Democratic ticket for the vice-presi dency along with Woodrow Wilson though two year§ earlier Marshal had beaten him in ,a bitter state fight He supported Smith in 1928 and i 1924, after his own nominee, an In dian man, had been defeated. I 1924 he came within an ace of win ning the nomination for Senator Ral The convention was deadlocked be tween Smith and MacAdoo and 47 votes had been cast for Ralston.

The perfect medicine for little ones is found in Baby's Own Tablets. They are a gentle but thorough lax- ative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach; drive out con- stipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fever and promote healthful and refreshing sleep. It is impossible for Baby's Own Tabltes to harm even the new-born babe as they are absolutely guaranteed free from opiates or any other injurious drugs. Concerning them Mrs. Earl Taylor, Owen Sound, Ont., writes:— "I have four children and have al- ways used Baby's Own Tablets. I am never without the Tablets in the house as they are the best medicine that I know' of for little ones." Baby's Qpgnr Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The motor car manufacturers are just as anxious as the motor ear owners that the expense of motoring shall not be increased and this applies -with dou- ble force to the manufacturers of small cars. The man who drives a Rolls Royce will not worry, but for three who have this luxurious vehicle of transportation there are a hundred who drive the little "baby" cars man- ufactured by Sir Herbert Austin and Sir W, R. Morris. Canadians who see specimens of these care are like- ly to be puzzled by them.

John Netram returned to India af- ter fourteen years' absence from the country and went straight home to his people. Needless to say there was great rejoicing in the home, as during the fourteen years he had had no communications -with his people and they had given him up for dead, his wife having performed the death ceremony of her husband; but, alas! the rejoicing only lasted for two days, for at the end of the two days he told his people about the Saviour he had found and asked them to ac- cept Him as theif Lord and Saviour. This of course was a great shock to the whole family; their face had been blackened, the wrath of the gods in- vited and the process of births and rebirths incalculably lengthened. "Hush, no one knows what you did across the seas; we can feed the Brahmans and have _you purified and you can still be the head of this fam- ily. Look at your wife, your widows ed ntother, the younger brothers, this land, this property." But John Net - ram had found the One Pearl for which he had already paid the price and he would not be dissuaded from making Christ known. His people's coaxing turned into threatening, his life began to be in danger and he had to leave his home quietly one dark night to take refuge on tne Barclay Mission Compound fourteen Miles away from his home. Though he waited a long time his wife never came, nor did any other member of his family; he was disinherited, and started into life again as a poor Methodist preacher. He married a Christian woman and they together gave 40 years to the work of the Christian ministry in the Methodist Episcopal church in India, their last few! years, i however, having been spent in the bounds of the Canadian Mission in Central India.

This comnaittes fixes also the price of roadside in- stallation. One extraordinary fact which has been brought to light, le that the Anglo -Persian company, in which the British government is a large shareholder, recommends anal installs an American-made pump which costs a fifth more than if there were free and open competition among the manufacturers. Two Tep- resentatives of the British govern- ment sit on the board of the Anglo - Persian, and the electors will want to know what this company means to do for the motorist. as he might fit his foot into a shoe. The occupants seem to bulge over the sides of the car. Why not, says the Canadian, spend a few pounds more and buy a Ford, which is at least roomier? The point they for- get is that these cars are specially designed to circumvent the horse- power and petrol taxes. They are built with an eye on upkeep. One of these odd little cars, con- taining the owner and his wife and two children, and developing seven - horse power, can speed over the fine roads of England at a speed of fifty miles an hour, and at the end of that time will have consumed but a gallon of gas. Of course, motor cars in England are by no means in such gen- eral use as they are in Canada and the United States, but the business of making cheap cars has made great progress since the war. The manufac- turers have devised ears, which they believe, will make them attractive to pex:sons of very modest means, per- sons Who, before the advent of the motor, never aspired to drive a cob, or even a goat. But even with these small specially -designed cars, the English motorist has to pay an an- nual fee of $5 for every unit of horsepower. A year ago gas was not taxed and was sold in England at 26 cents a gallon. Since then a govern- ment tax of seven cents has been add- ed, and now comes the five -cent in- crease of the oil peaple. Gasoline is now 39 cents a gallon, a price suf- ficient to curtail motoring. Tae in- crease in the price of gas has caus- ed the British motor industry to halt for the first time since the war. It affects not only the manufacturers of cars and motor cycles and the own- ers of them, but also the owners of the buses which have, in the past year or two, opened up a profitable new business for themselves by cheap tours to the seaside and other points which seem glamorous in the _eyes o those seeking summer holidays. Tens of thousands, perhaps indeed hundreds of thousands of young women have had these trips on their meagre savings as clerks and shop girls, apd many more have been look- ing forward to them. These young ladies, or a great percentage of them, will vote in the next election, and they will want to know how it is that their holiday expenses are go- ing to be increased, or perhaps their plans for the holiday ruined. The gasoline manufacturers are also fac- ed with another opposition, namely that provided by a substitute fuel. We learn frorn a London despatch to the New York Times that recent tests have ben made with a gasoline pro- duced from. coal. It has been found suitabla, when used in the delicate machinery of airplanes, and equally satisfactory, but for a slight smell, when used in motor cars. It is be- lieved that it can be pinged of this and there is a prospect that it may soon be produced at a price where it can co-mpete with gasoline. Every- body knews what has happened in the production of artificial silk and there are those who believe the same thing will occur hi the gasoline industry. Npbody knows to -day where tb.e gasoline combine begins or ends, but it is known that While not half of the hundreds of millions of gallons sold m Englana was ever in the United States, the price is regulated from New York. London newspapers have been trying to investigate the matter and the Daily News says that a sub - TAGGART OF INDIANA NOTED POLITICAL BOSS An Irishman Who was born in Wa- terford, remained a Protestant, and 'became one of the most important political leaders in the United States is, we submit, worth a columa, even if he is dead. Mae refer to Tom Tag- gart, Democratic political boss of the Republican state of Indiana for many years. He belonged to the company of Roger Sullivan, Charles Murphy and James Guffey, men who used to meet at French Lick %few months before the national Democratic party held its conventions and pretty well decided what would happen. 'French Lick Springs was Taggart's stamping grounds. He owned the great hotel there from wisich, it is reported, he accumulated an estate of a couple of million dollars.

He was Mayor of Indianapolis and was appointed by his friend, Governor Ralston, to fill ap unexpired term as governor. He was defeated when he ran for re-election. The best political job he ever held was his first. In 1886 he ran for a county auditorship, a position that paid $50,000 a year. He secured the nomination because no other Democrat thought that he had a chance against the Republican. But, bearing in mind the principle that what wins elections is to get out the vote, Taggart was successful. Then 'four years later he defied the tradition that euch a rich office should be passed around, be- came a candidate for re-election and received a larger vote than ever. It is said that Taggart walked a hundred miles to get his first jab which was at a railway lunch counter in Indian- apolis. !His Irish wit, his ready smile and his willingness to take pains brought him attention and 'promotion, and his subsequent career was singu- larly free from checks, though his de- feat for re-election to the senate and his failure to carry the 1924 conven- tion for Ralston were reverses that marked him. 11111111111111 11_11111111111 priiiii+91471,427MASIMUYINIRISSYNIMan N.

HORRORS OF PEACE ASSAIL BRrrisn MOTORIST What has been called a war between Russian and Anglo-American oil in- terests ended in a truce the other day and the world was invited to rejoice to see such strife banished from the earth. But the British motorist in the past two or three days has had it suppressed upon him that there are worse things than war, and that as far as he is concerned peace is far less desirable. The end of hostili- ties has meant the end of rivalry, and the end of competition. Each group of producers, apparently, has been al- lotted its own field. In England gaso- line has gone up five cents a gallon. It may prove to have been bad policy for the rivais to end their war. or rather to make the announcement of its teemination, just as England is about eo engage in a political cam- paiga, for we may be sure that the price of gasoline will be one of tbe queetioes upon which every maid te will have to satisfy hecklers.
