SUNDAY AFTERNOON
(By Isabel Hamilton, Goderich, Ont.)
',Did ever mourner plead with Thee,
And Thou refuse that mourner's plea,
]Does not the word still fixed remain;
That none shall seek Thy face in
vain?
While place we seek, or place we
shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
°Tis equal joy to go or stay.
Win. Cowper.
PRAYER
We know, our Father, that Thou
art still sending out a call to Thy
curring children to return to the God
of their fathers. Help us to hear
and turn our faces Zionward and ex-
yerienee the joy of being forgiven
eared received into the household of
aith. In Jesus' name we pray.=
Amen.
BEAVERBROOK GAMBLED I:,UY-
INC A NEWSPAPER
An interesting light on the career
of Lord Beaverbrook is given in this
report, republished from the Sutton
and Epsom Herald, England, after the
famous Canadian peer had addressed
a laborers' meeting in the district.
"Lord Beaverbrook said that his
father was a Scotch minister living in
Canada. In Canada the churches did
not pay the ministers very much sti-
pend, and the ministers there all had
very big families. He was one of
twelve children, and his father's sti-
pend was only £200 a year.
"His mother had very good credit.
and she always made use of it for ex-
tended periods, and sometimes as long
as three months would pass without
her making any settlement for her
groceries. Then, when the grocery
bill came in, she would go over the it-
ems in the presence of the whole fam-
ily of twelve, and say, 'Oh, dear! I
can't have had these. The grocer
must redly have sold these goods to
somebody else, and, by mistake,
charged them to us.' But in the end
the grocery bill was always paid.
"After settlement day a period of
economy swept over the household,
and during these periods of economy
he formed the stern, hard, mental res-
olution to make some money, saying
to himself: "This is not good enough.
I am going to have a better time.'
So at last he packed his bag and set
out on his journey to the nearest big
city.
During the few years he Iived in
that city he discovered the art of
making money. When he had enough
for the needs of himself and family
he said to himself that he would go
to England, back to the country his
ancestors come from. And so het set
off for London.
"When he got there he saw the son
of another Scotch minister, who lived
in a village quite close to his own,
and who was brought up under the
same circumstanceis and told !Elm
that he was done with money and with
business, and wanted to take a part
in public life. That man was Mr.
Bonar Lel. He showed the way to
enter at door of politics, and very
quickly he (Lord Beaverbrook) found
himself in 'the House of Commons -
21/ days after he had set foot in
England; very rapid promotin.
"Why he wept to Fleet Street was
that he had a friend who made state-
ments which he was successful in con-
tradicting. One day his friend sud-
denly asked him to lend his newspaper
some money, and then he (Lord Beav-
erbrook) knew for the first time why
he had been so successful in his ser-
ies of eontradictions. He was fool-
ish enough to lend, and got involved
to theaextent of a very considerable
sum.
"He was asked one day to supply
another £35,000 for newsprint. He
maid h ewould do no more. A share-
holder with a great many shares
would do nothing, and he said to that
hareholder, 'If you won't put any
more money in, and I won't, it seems
+o me the paper's career is at an end.'
But he received a letter from this
man saying, will sell all the shares
I have got, and will charge £17,500
for them.'
He drove down to the country and
asked the late Lord Northcliffe his
adviice as to buying the shares. Thi
reply was, 'Young man. •how much
money have you tot?' He told him,
and Lord Northcliffe said. 'If you go
4n you will los,. it all in Fleet Street'
So he went and saw Lord Rothermere
and said. 'I am offered these shares
in the Daily Express for £17.500.'
Lord Rothermere remarked, 'Well, it's
a. great gamble. It is a newspaper
that has got no life in it, that has lost
its energy and needs revivifying. but
yon should try it, and if you fail it
will be an interesting deminiscence.'
"So he went and paid for theshares.
That was 'how he got into journal-
ism."

Lesson Topic-- ezekiah Leads ills
I?eople Pack to Gam.
Lesson Passage -2 Chronicles 30:1-
5, 25-27.
Golden Teat -2 (Chronicles 30:9.
Hezekiah, at the "age of twenty-five
isucceeded his father Ahaz as king of
Judah. He had no sooner ascended
fche throne than he set on foot a re-
formatory movement whereby idola-
oosy worship would be done away and
with and the worship of Jehovah re-
stored. We read in 2 Kings 18:3, 4,
"And he did that which was right in
the sight of the Lord, according to all
that David his father did. He remov-
ed the high places, and brake images
and cut down the groves, and brake
in pieces the brazen serpent that Mos-
es had made; for unto these days the
children of Israel did burn incense to
it." Then followed the preparation
for the observance of the passover, to
Which all the members of the tribes
living in Palestine were invited by
letters sent out by the order of the
!king. According to the word of the
Lord given to Moses, the passever
was to be celebrated on the fourteenth
day of the first month. However, pro-
vision was made for its observance
on the same day of the second month.
Under certain circumstances (Num.
0:10, 11). Thus Hezekiah's setting
that •as the date was not illegal
though unusual.
The invitation as found in verses
6-9 was sent to the ten tribes as well
as to those over Whom Hezekiah was
king. He pressed them to return and
take the opportunity of worshipping
the God from: whom they had strayed
so far away. He pleaded with them
not to be so rebellious and stiff-neck-
ed as their fathers had been. "The
doors of the sanctuary are new open-
ed, and you have liberty to enter; the
temple service is now revived, and
you are welcome to join in it."
For the most part the invitation
was slighted though the King of Is -
free did not interfere with any who
chose to accept. The King of Judah
said, "Come;" the king of Israel did
snot binder their going but only a rem-
nant "humbled themselves and came
to Jerusalem." They joined to the
children of Judah, made a very great
congregation that kept the feast for
ifaiurteen days. "So there was great
joy in Jerusalem; for since the time
of Solomon the was not the like in
1Je,gtealem." The congregation was
at length dismissed with a solemn
Messing by the priests. Matthew
my says: The prayer that Eames
npto heaven i n a cloud of incense,
C`Yal( come down again to this earth in
C oowers of blessings. The priests
prayer, their prayer was heard and
people were blessed (verse 27).

course, Alves!, but equally, of course
it is carrieet on. Nevertheless the
racing asaoiatit,as donot profit from
it. in th'eeeemewhat puritanical reg -
has of former Governor Hughes. a
law was .•passed making the owners
or directors of a race track respon-
sible for any bet made on the track.
This uskase made it impossible that
there should be any racing at all
since it would be a manifest impossi-
bility for the most zealous directors
to supervise .all the spectators. When
this provision was removed from the
law, New York state had men rich
enough and sporting enough to carry
on meetings without betting, an un-
dertaking said to be impossible.
It will probably interest the aver-
age reader to know that the governors
of racing in New York, and the own-
ers of great tracks want nothing so
little as a return of the betting priv-
ileges. The notion that they would
welcome this chance to get rich quick
is illusory. They are content to let
things run as at present. The reason
is that they know if betting were re-
stored the ' attendance at tracks
would double, or even quadeup1e. The
spectacle of perhaps 100,000 people
struggling to get down bets would a-
rouse the reform element and further
r• s.rictions would probably be impos.
ed. In any event. it would excite the
covetous eye of city and state govern-
ment,:.i and a large rake-off would be
taken. It would also stimulate crook-
ed .politicians of all kinds and the
sport would be sure to suffer. As
rnaitrr' stand now, the governors of
racing in New York' charge an ex-
tremely high admission fee, twice as
much as is charged elsewhere. and
with this the present patronage are
able to offer rich purses. They do
net want to make money out of the
sport That may seem extraordinary
lent then the calibre of the men con-
trolling New York is also extraordin-
a The authors call attention to the
useful work that is done by the New
York Jockey Club, which is the chief
authority for all matters pertaining
to the American thoroughbred, in dis-
couraging the custom naming horses
for human beings, an objectionable
system that never flourished in Eng-
land and which has dome much to
rob the light harness horse of his
native dignity and poetry. They would
like to pass a law making this prac-
tice illegal but so far have only pro-
ceeded as far as to insist that the
consent of the person from whom the
horse is named must be obtained. As
a matter of fact, few horses so nam-
ed have ever added distinction to the
human names they have borne. The
jockey club also discourages the
changing of names and makes a
charge of $100 for each chge. It
is pointed out that the names f hors-
es are registered the way t ey are
received from the owner, and his spel-
ling is faithfully followed. If he
does not know how to spell a certain
name that is his bad luck for that
is the name his horse will have. The
club encourages the choosing of
euphonious names which sell give an
indication of the horse's breeding.
Illustrating apt naming, the auth-
ors cite Mother Goose by Broomstick
—Flying Witch; The Bat, by Broom-
stick—Fly by Night; March Hare,
by Mad Hatter—Wendy; and Strol-
ling Player, by Grand Parade—Com-
edienne. We think w'e can give an
even better example in the case of
the colt Call Boy. that won the Eng-
lish Derby. He was by Hurry On—
Comedienne, and to our mind is about
the best named horse of any promin-
ence we ever heard of. If the breed-
er has been a literary man we might
suspect that he made the mating after
he had ,coined the name. The horses
from Idle Hour Farm, owned by E.
R. Bradley, have mimes begifnning
with B, the custom having been es-
tablished by the late Brs. Bradley.
Some fine horses have had these
names, as for instance Black Toney,
Bubbling Over, Black Servant and
Baggenbaggage. But, as the authors
point out, this practice obscures the
name of North Star III, one of Brad-
ley's greatest stallions.
It should be pretty well known by
this time that the great breeding and
racing establishments are operated at
a loss. Mr. Bradley, who owns one of
the greatest plants in the United
States, has borne witness that in only
one year, 1906. when Bubbling Over
and Baggenbaggage ran first and sec-
ond in the Kentucky Derby, and the
second horse went on to win the La-
tonia, did he make a profit. Even in
1921, when he also ran first and sec-
ond, and in 1925, when he won tho
Latonia he lost money on both farm
and racing stable. That the itch for
money is second with these men to
the love of the horse is illustrated by
another incident which occurred in
1905 when the plater Race King ran a
dead ' heat in the Metropalitan with
Sysonby, one of the greatest horses
foaled in the United States. As Race
King. at odds of 20 to 1, came down
bo the'wire lapped with the champion,
a well known horseman turned and
knocked down a stranger who was
cheering for the plater. When called
before the Jockey Club to explain this
outrageous conduct, he remarked:
"I can only repeat what I told the
fellow when I \knocked him down—
any man who would cheer on the de-
feat of a great horse for the sake of
a filthy bet, two dollars to two thous-
and, should be horsewhipped." He
was promptly acquitted by his brother
sportsmen.
that is occupying minds in England
and elsewhere to quite an extent.
This story of a human telephorie (as
Jago calls himself) is very pertin-
ent. Adrian ?Mallard, K.C., Rose
Jaffey, actress, Professor Boyd, and
Wilfred Neal, Mallard's ward, visit
Emery Jago, a medium, at his studio
in Brixton. There Mallard receives
a message from his dearly loved bro-
ther, Ivo. who had passed over dur-
ing the war. Skeptical as he was,
MVlallard's interest in spirits might
have gone no further had he not that
very night, after a heart attack, re-
ceived his death sentence. He feels
he could face this fate calmly if he
knew there was some survival after
death.
To scientifically investigate the
supernatural phenomena they had
witnessed at Jago's, the medium. and
his partner belle are invited to the
country where Mallard, Boyd and
Neal are staying. Rose Jaffrey and
his father occupy a nearby house and
several seances are held.
Although his wife has left him,
Mallard resists declaring his love for
Rose, as he lives always in the sha-
dow of this death sentence—angina
pectoris. For one day that shadow
is removed. Mallard overdoes and
dies suddenly, but not before Rose
knows of his deep and spiritual love
far her. His death had been foretold
in the crystal by Belle, and hence-
forth Rose is easy prey for the un-
scrupulous Jago.
This Emery Jago is an extraordin-
ary person, "highly , strung" (his
mother gloated over those words on
a school report), who goes through
all the stages of abnormal and super-
natural studies. Had learns conjur-
ing tricks, finds he has great luck or
power at table turning and possesses
a strong hypnotic influence, recog-
nizes the clairvoyance of Belle, whom
he makes his partner, realizes he is
a psychic character, having strange
promonitions. All this he does un-
der the guise of a photographer but
obtains quite a clientele as a medium.
At times we are led with Em to won-
der if it is all humbug. Even Pro-
fessor Boyd, Mallard's scientific
friend, admits the strang4ness of
many happenings. but in the end we
are left in no doubt as to Jago's
charlatanism in his treatment of Rose
Jaffrey.
Adrian Mallard, the brilliant law-
yer, is a most absorbing character.
Confirmed and admitted egotist •as he
is, he has so many appealing char-
acteristics that one rejoices when he
is convinced that "love has no death
and spirits meet across the bridge"
as he wanted so desperately to be-
lieve.
Boyd, Belle and young Neal are
steadying influences, and Neal appeals
to Rase, "Don't go in for this sort of
thing. God doesn't want the dead to
come back. If we're immortal—and
that's what I believe—surely we can
wait a few years before we get to-
gether again."

"It Need to be Said" is the rather
didactic title of a book of splendid
essays by Frederick Philip Grove.
The title is of course. true. We do
not need to know that Mr. Grove tells
us, but we are given much more and
given it in a much more charming
way than the title suggests. Truth
it is; but truth in a very pleasant
garb and shot through and through
with Mr. Grove's own vivid and mag-
netic personality.
Most of the chapters were orig-
inally prepared for lectures, so all
who have heard Ma Grove on the
platform will welcome the opportun-
ity of having him by their own fire-
side in this delightful form.
Literary criticism; realism in lit-
erature; the aim of art; the valve of
art; the novel—are titles that give
some idea of the ground covered, but
they do not give any inkling of the
deep and painstaking thought, the
formation of an abiding philosophy,
or the theory of a true judgment of
values that has been worked out and
presented in so scholarly a manner.
One thing Mr. Grove stresses --in
literature, art or nations, the essen-
tials are to -day what they have al-
ways been. Conditions change, but
hymen nature does not.
The least chapter, "Nationhood," is
an address that has been deIfvered to
