When asked the reason for Ida de- sire to have a part in the furnisi.?ng of the house of prayer he replied, 9 have been watching closely the life you all live here and; the work that is being done. II will remain a Hindu as long as 1 live but II will be a better Hindu by reason of what 1 have learned here. And Y wish to assist as far as Y can in letting others know the same truth." There he stands. A. good rnan in so many ways as we know him. A better Hindu he says because of his contact with Christians. But "I will remain a Hindu all my life." How is one to deal with such a man? He evidences almost greater rever• ence for the outer courts of God's house than do many who go there to worship yet he never attends public worship in that church. -From The Central India Torch.

LESSON FOR DECEMBEP: 15th Lesson Topic -The Christian Spirit in Industry. Lesson Passage -Deuteronomy 25: 14, 15; Ephesians 6:5-9; 1 Timothy li:17-19. Golden Text -Luke 6:31. In these verses from Deuteronomy masters are commanded to be just to their servants. They must not op- press them, either by overloading them w.Lh work, giving them undue and unreasonable rebukes, or with- holding from them proper mainten- ance. Fork "thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee hence; therefore, I command thee to do this thing." In the 6th chapter of Paul's epistle to the Ephesians he sets forth the duties of servants and masters; and his exhortation would apply to those who were slaves as well as voluntary servants. It was not the de -sign of the Chris- tian religion to produce a rude sund- ering of the ties which bound man to man, hut to teach all to perforin their duties aright in the relations in which (hristianity found them, and gradually modify the customs of so- ciety. The spread of Christianity did do away with slavery in the Roman Empire and wherever it goes in its jpowe'r end purity the slave receives his liberty. Paul in writing to professed Chris- tians and he exhorts them to be obed- ient to their masters, performing their duties with a willing mind, feel- ing that by so doing they would in fact be serving the Lord, and there- fore, doing that which would be well - pleasing to him. A Christian may as acceptably serve the Lord Jesus in Che condition of a servant, as if he were a minister of the gospel, or a king en a throne. God requires industry, fidelity, con- reientiousness, submission and obed- ience it every rank in life. In his exhortation to masters Paul's object was to secure for servants a proper treatment. He showed them their duty towards those who were under em. They were to extend to them the same spirit which they required aes+velit i to bear toward them -the Brame kindness, fidelity and respect for the will of God. Paul in his epistle to Timothy sets forth, among ether things, the duty of those who were rieh (6:17-19). They are not to be proud; nor to trust it their riches so as to forget their dependence in God. They are to do good with their property, and Coo make their wealth the means of reeuring eternal life. - (Condensed from Berates' Commentary).

The information sought is in nine out of ten casco for the purpose -of recommending, if nec- essary, an increase in the allowance. There is no attempt in any case to deprive or decrease the allovrenco en- eept in very undeserving cases. There are in this matter as in any other similar method of rendering aid to those in need, degrees of excellence or of undeserving, but on the whole the mothers of Huron receiving the allowance are very deserving and ap- preciative. It is no easy matter, ev- en when plenty abounds, to rear e family of from two to seven or ei '.t children, and the task becomes all the greeter when the mo •,er has to shoulder that burden alone, hence the meed of the exercise of great sym- pathy towards those so unfortunate- ly situated. Sometimes some very un- kind things are said regarding those so situated, criticising, when criticism is very unfair and unkind. For, these reasons we bespeak, in this report, kindly consideration for all those w are deserving end needy. Frequently attempts, especially in the cities or centres of dense pope' tion, to lower the qualification to one ,child instead of two, but this would impose a very great financial burden upon the people of the Province and upon the counties. ]Besides, it is generally regarded that a mother with one child can receive empleymmemt, leaving that one child is the care of some kind friend or a mother to look after. it has not so • far been con- sidered such a great bar as to be thought a sufficient reason to impose such a heavy tax burden on so many poor people in very straitened cir- cumstances, who would have to con- tribute their mite to the maintenance of young, able-bodied mothers. I am still of the opinion that a certain amount of cash or money on hand of about $500 or less, should not be the limit allowed. That sum might well be increased so long as that money were invested and the mother could only have the interest to spend, so long as she received the allowance. After the children ceased to be claim- ants, owing to the age limit, when the mothers earning capacity, through advanced years, become very small, then that little sum invested would furnish splendid assistanee to the mother, when the grants from this al- lowance had ceased. Mothers' Allowance. ,Report of Clerk, re Mothers' Allow- ance: During the past year the average payments to the mothers under the Act was $860 by the Province, $860 by the County, or $1,720 per month. The average number of mothers per month was 62. The last payment was $1,735 and the number on the roll was 55, show- ing an increase over the average num- ber and the average monthly pay- ment. The lowest monthly payment was $20 and the highest $55. There were two receiving $20 per month; 8 getting $25; 17 at $30; 9 at $35; 11 at $40; 3 at $45, and one receives $55. The County of Huron stands about the same as the County of Middlesex in number of mothers receiving bene- fits and the payments made. These several recipients are inspect- ed regularly by a Government ap- pointed inspector, who reports to headquarters the circumstances or conditions of each family and makes recommendations from time to time regarding the care of each mother as to the facts ascertained on these vis- its. Some not very bright mothers fool- ishly look argon this as an imposi- Good Roads Commission. The Good Roads Commission report- ed as follows: The program of works and expendi- tures as outlined at the June session,. has not been carried out entirely, due to the necessity of confining the ex- penditures within the amount of rev- enue provided. However, the expen- ditures have been kept within these limits by reason of eliminating cer- tain items of construction work, and the purchase of the proposed gravel plant, as well as lower costs than NICf t l.4 mane nceos oft fka Ing tagt61s 1065ce21 any conndlit tomta 2equaoa, conab.ZQira1bli e knowrllcedlgce off finen.

Our dragging costs this year will be about $5,000 less than in, 1928, due to the increased use of power grad- ers, and when more machines are in use, and the organization improved, these costs ni.,on1d be low, ... consid- erably.

The plain fact is that the increase in trade in some of our food exports to the old country is not keeping p::1 ce with the growth of demand. i-•ritain's markets are wide open to Canada. 1:'ecause of the exhibitions of Canadian products, the :. ctivity off our Trade Commissioners, and the effects of our advertising, the is ritish consumer is more familiar with these products than ever before, and consequently more inclined to buy. Good will in Great Britain towards Canadian product@ never has been ata higher point than now. Ali the facilities of transportation for classes of products from Canada to Great ritain have been provided. Shall we CAnadians overlook or negflect the oppor- tunities for increased export trade which are thus laid before us? Just becauoe domestic markets are good, shall we asi producers be so short sighted as to fail to satisfy so large a market which i9 more favourably inclined towards our pro- ducts than ever before? Net yet is there among our producers an adequate realisation of the opportunities for increased production which present conditions in the l: ritish markets afford. )If you are a producer or dealer in foodstuffs, you can assist to your own profit in gaining a larger share of this market. Almost every community in this country stands to benefit. The res;+it can be attained by: T. Producing more of the kind of products the 1 ristish consumler wants. 2. Keeping up a constant supply. 3. BE ,intaining quality standards. Through its Commercial Intelligence Service, this Department will render valuable assistance to any exporter. Our Trade Commissioners' Offices in :ritain are especially well-equipped and strategically placed to handle any export problem on behalf of Canadian exporters. Enquiries re- garding I.•ritish Trade receive prompt attention. Write to the Commercial Intelligence Service, Ottawa. E DEPARTMENT OF TRADE A1 HON.
