Thie was a call•to toil, service, work. Jesus said, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Thus were these humble fy„sjrermen summonsed to surrender 01 things. "Leave your ship, leave your friends and follow me." When God calls men to follow Him it always involves less, When Moses was called, he counted it greater - honor to follow God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season and to enrich him- self with all the riches of Egypt. When Hadad astounded Pharaoh by saying he wanted to go back to Edom Pharaoh said, "What hast thou lack- ed?" and the young•man said, "Noth- ing, howbeit in any wise let me go." The Lord had stirred up the heart of Hadad, and Hadad went from Egypt to poor Edom, from rest to battle, from assured and continued. prosper- ity to all the perils and 'adventures of hazardous war. We observe fur- ther, from this incident of pie call- ing of these fishermen, that' Christ's calls are always to something high- er. They were fishers in the ordin- ary sense of the term. Jesus came to them and said, "I will make you fishers •of men." From this we learn that our secular positions in life' are types and hints of the call which Christ is addressing to our souls. Whatever we are, we will succeed in it only in proportion as we have been called to it. Some men and women are in wrong positions because of being turned into them by providen- ces over which they had no control. But making the best of the positions, they are cheered by the knowledge that God who audits the account of life is an all-knowing and merciful Father. These fishermen immedia- tely responded to the call and enter- ed upon training for life -service. We read in verses 23 and 24 what a world it was that Jesus came into. And he knew it before he carne. If the world had been less sin -inflicted he need not have come. In these verses we have a picture of the real state of humanity as Jesus Christ found it. Tell us where the lepers are, where divers' diseases and tor- ments dwell, and where those live who are possessed with devils and few of us will want to look them up; but what are horrors to us were at- tractions to the infinite heart. The description given here is the real condition of the world in every age and the only price that will redeem it is blood. There are those who ob- ject to the expression, "The blood of Christ." They have refined it into the Love, the Example or the Sweet Influence of Christ. No; redemption is always by blood and Jesus spent his life healing all manner of sick- ness and all mermen of disease among the people; and at the last He laid down His life for sinners. To this service He is still saying, "Follow Me," SUNDAY AFTERNOON (By Isabel Hamilton, Goderich, Ont.)

Lesson Passage—Matthew 4:17-25. Golden Text—Matthew 4:17. We are not to understand that this event took place immediately after eur Lord's temptation. He had been exercising something like an eight months' ministry in Judea, when he heard that John wascast into prison. "Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast` into prison he depart- ed into Galilee" And there beside the lake of Tiberias he came into tench with certain fishermen. We are not to understand that these men never saw Jesus Christ until that day. They knew him well and al ready sustained the relation of a kind of nominal" discipleship to him; but the time was now ready for them to take over a more definite service. It was not a call to piety, to religious Topic—Jesus Begins His Arthur Brisbane or James Branch Oabell? George M. Cohan or Rudy Vallee? Calvin Coolidge or Al Smith or Jack ,Dempsey or Irving Berlin? Even Charles Chaplin? We are in- clined to think not. He was a happy and unique combination or James Whitcomb Riley, Will Rogers and Fontaine Fox. As an ingenious wit and humorist he was inferior to Fox who probably scores a higher percent- age of amusing cartoons than any other American comic artist. He lacked the power and Gargantuan laughter of Darling but he made a wider human appeal. He never preached. There were few solemni- ties in his drawings. There was no vulgarity. These was just human nature. The fun, that he depicted was not his fun`but the fun :n the everyday folks whom he drew. It arose out of the characters themselves and 'was not a brilliant addition by the author. His contribution was the eye that perceived it, and the sure and kindly hand that could draw it. His genius could only have welled 'up out of a delightful personality, and Toronto men who knew him well, like Lou Skuce and Arthur Miller, testify that he was of the very salt of the earth. From time to time The Mail and Empire has presented Briggs' car- toons, specimens from some of his most famous series such as "When a Feller Needs a Friend," Kelly Pool," "Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feel - in'," 'The Days of Real Sport" and "Close Harmony." For years the Star Weekly has been presenting his "Mr. and Mrs." a full page series, which to our mind, is in a class by itself. Our own favorite was "Kelly Pool," drawn in the old days before national prohibition arrived, and later discontinued. ProbalbIy the \palm would have to be awarded to i'The Days of Real Sport," which brought back memories of childhood to mil- lions with "Skinnay" being hailed to "Union over" and the trailing infant brother having trouble with his nose and being instructed in the use of a handkerchief; the embarrassment of the juvenile sweethearts, and the rude buying of their companions; and the dog at once full of delight and at the seine time displaying a shade of wary wistfulness, maybe expressing the subconscious memory of an occasional kick in the slats, or of a can once ties: to his tail. We think Mr. Briggs earned every dollar of his annual salary of $100,- 000 which was the amount he receiv- ed when he Ieft the Chicago Tribune to go to the New York Tribune, with which paper he remained until his death. In addition he made a large income from advertising work and other sources. As a bonus for sign- ing this contract he was given a Rolls- Royce car, and this contract, includ- ing the Rolls-Royce car was given Sidney Smith, creator of "The Gumps," when he went to the Chicago Tribune later on. Six weeks ago Mr. Briggs entered a New York hospital to .be treated for an affliction which threatened the sight of one of his eyes. He did not make the quick recovery confidently expected by the surgeons and soon was fighting for his life. He seemed to be winning in the fight too, but had a relapse. Then there was an operation on the brain to discover whether a tumor was re- tarding his recovery. This was de- scribed as "merely exploratory" and nothing of the kind was found. Pneu- monia, the,scourge'of hospitals, final- ly carried him off. Mr. Briggs was 54 years old. He was born in Wisconsin, and spent some of his boyhood years in Illinois. He early showed some aptness with pen and pencil. His first newspaper job was with the St. Louis Democrat where he earned $10 a week as a sketch artist, He was a good man at the job but soon the photo -engraving process was to make newspaper sketch artists somewhat of a drug on the market, and in this period Briggs becalm.. a sign painter and catalogue illustrator. There was a time when he went from one newspaper to an- other in New York vainly looking for a job. The fault did not lie with the blindness of art editors, but with Mr. Briggs himself who had not yet dis- covered the fact that he was a natural Porn cartoonist of the purest ray serene. The discovery was made for him by the night editor of the New York Journal whose name ought to be held in reverence, and would be here- with saluted if we happened to know it. He got his job on the Journal through the friendship of William J. Kinsley, a handwriting expert, who was convinced that the young man had unusual talent. The doctor had a friend on the paper and sent Briggs to him, armed with a letter. He was given his chance, and sent to make some sketches at a sensational trial. When he returned with thew the night editor glanced them over and said: "You're no sketch artist. You're a cartoonist." He thereupon gave a half page to the sketches and within a few weeks William Randolph Hearst sent Briggs to Chicago where his work appeared for the next half dozen years in the Herald and Examiner. In 1907 he went to the Chicago Tribune and in 1914 to the New York Tribune which at that time had probably the most brilliant staff of special writers and feature artists ever any news- paper had. It included, besides Mr. Briggs, Jay Darling, the outstanding figure in modern American journal- ism; F. P. Adams, Heywood Broun, Deems Taylor, Grantland Rice, Bill McGeehan and' half a• dozen others who have since become celebrated. Of these Rice, McGeehan and Darling re- main, WORLD MISSIONS In a statistical table recently pre - ed in the- offices of the Interna- onal Missidnary Council, the' aggre- gate annual income of foreign mis- sionary societies in different coun- tries reveals a total of sixty millions of dollars spent annually on foreign missions around the world. The churches of the United •States and Canada lead with an annual expendi- ture of, thirty-five millions. Great Britain spends eleven milions each year, while the Protestant churches of Germany, Norway and Sweden each average slightly over a million.' The Protestant churches of South Africa are giving an average of half a million annually to the extension of the Christian faith in the hinterlands of that great continent. CLARE BRIGGS, CARTOONIST WAS UNIQUE GENIUS Since hearing the sad news of Clare Briggs' death we have been wonder- ing what other American could so ill be spared, what one touched so many people so happily and tenderly as this great cartoonist.

Some who hear „hini will no doubt he struck by the 'reflection that it seems but a short time ago when Smuts if he had been discovered in Canada would have been lynched unless the pollee reached him first to put hint in jail. That was the time of the South African war when Canada Sleeted With patriotic fury against the eta. Smote was one of til: THE 'AMON ' 1SITOR ANGIER'S EMULSION increases appetite.. ,aids digestion ...and helps to rebuild healthy tissue. Pleasant to Take- 4 3It Ilelpa bigestion most distinguished of the Boer leaders and emerged frim,that -struggle with an international reputation as a tact- ician. His millitary reputation was increased in the World War when with Botha he led the Royal Afrikanders against brother Af, ;ikanders who un- der De Wet and Byei-s-had seized the opportunity to try to wrest absolute independence from Great Britain. There were also some German colon- ies to be sterilized from a millitary point of view and these campaigns were as neatly and swiftly executed as any operations in the whole course of the struggle. Smuts may well be recognized as one of the most bril- liant of the military leaders In the war. But that is not the reputation he most values nor is it the reputation which gives him the distinctive qual- ities which all Canadians ,will recog- nize and admire in him. He is a constructive statesman, one of the greatest individual forces for inter- national peace in the world to -day. The first elaborate draft of the League of Nations was drawn un by him, and it was Smuts who, on behalf of South Africa, signed the treaty of Versailles. Here, too, the man stood out, for he added a reser- vation protesting in the name of his country against the savage repara- tions exacted of Germany. In Smuts the statesman was never submerged by the soldier. He fought with ter- rific energy but always without hate, and as soon as the fighting was over his mind instinctively turned to the future, dismissing thoughts of re- venge. Indeed Smuts had a -philoso- phical background such as was pos- sessed by few of the men who were chiefly responsible for the terms of peace. In that respect he was much more like Woodrow Wilson than he was like Clemenceau or Lloyd George though as a practising politician he resembles the latter. Jan Christian Smuts was born in South Africa where his father was a wealthy burgher. After exhausting the educational facilities of his native land he went to Cambridge where he distinguished himself by taking a double first in law. Later on he be- came a bencher of the Middle Tem- ple. He returned to South Africa and following in his father's footsteps adopted politics as a career, and be- came.a suppofLer of Kruger. It was not long before the South African war broke out, Smuts hated war as any civilized man must hate it, In pol- itics he was a Liberal of the Glad stonian school, and he had ties and roots in England. But he felt that theoers' cause was just and that the principle of states rights was be- ing invaded by the British govern- ment, so he did not hesitate but mounted his horse and started for the nearest front. His services in the struggle brought him so far to the front that he was one of the Boer representatives at Vereeniging where the peace treaty was signed. It is recalled that his safe conduct through the British lines on this occasion was signed by a British officer who then wrote his name "D. Haig." Smuts agreed to terms, of peace which he felt to be unjust and op- pressive, but he felt confident that they would be revised. Here was Campbell -Bannerman rolling up the greatest British majority ever given a prime minister, and he had denounc- ed the South African war as barbar- ous. Smuts thought he knew British Liberalism well enough to be confi- dent that the treaty would be revis- ed, and revised it was some years later, giving the Boers as generous terms as ever were offered a brave but beaten foe. Indeed it was the fairness with which the ancient grudge was settled that made it pos- sible for Botha and Smuts when the great war broke out to carry their party and their people into the strug- gle on the side of the empire. At the time the treaty was revised there were those who thought that it was opening the door°for South Africa to walk out of the British family of na- tions. It is too early to prophesy con - Husband and Wife Both Find Them Beneficial ONTARIO LADY STRONGLY RE- COMMENDS DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS Mrs. N.

Madoc, Ont., Jan. 16th.. --)(Special) —"Having obtained great relief, from Lumbago by the use of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills, I would never be without them," writes Mrs. N. Beauderie, R. P. No, 3, Madoc, Ont. "I always keep two or three boxes in the house My husband takes them for Rheumatism. He says there is nothing helps hint like Dodd's Kidney Pills. 'We trust that these few lines may be the means of helping others." The natural way to treat Rheuma- tism and Lumbago is to treat the Kid- neys and the natural way to treat the Kidneys is to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Rhpnmatism is caused by the presence of uric acid in tine blood. If the Kid- neys are doing their duty they will strain all the uric acid out of the blood and there can be no more Rheumatism. Therefore, put the Kid- neys in shape to de their duty Witt- ing ynthing llodd's Kidney fidently on that point. But we know at least that if South Africa walks out Smuts will remain. There is no more loyal British subject than this Boer. Smuts is no longer premier of South Africa, that post being filled at the present moment by an old school- mate of his a few years . his senior, to wit General Hertzog. Smuts leads the most powerful opposition party and it is quite on the cards that once more he will be premier. Hertzog leans toward complete independence. Smuts favors the present arrange- ments. They differ as to what course should be taken should another great war break out, but this is a merely academic matter in the opinion of General Smuts who believes that there will not be another great war in the preient century. The two men differ, also, in their attitude toward the natives. 'Hartzog favors drawing the color. line. Smuts believes that the black man has the same right to vote as the white. In office Smuts showed the iron hand on occasion and when he deported strike leaders on the Rand he alienated the support of the labor party and probably never will regain it. As intimated earlier, he has in him a streak of "slimness" that is the admiration of his support- ers and the despair of his opponents, Once he was asked how much South Africa had spent on military re- mounts, On inquiry he learned that it would take a staff of clerks four months to work out the answer. But the next day in the house the prime minister announced and gravely re- ported that the amount spent was £80,169,000 lOs 6d. When asked how he had the harihood to make this re- ply he said that he knew it would take a month for anyone to prove him wrong. SPELL OF TERROR STILL BINDS D USS'ELDORF Some short time ago we gave an account of the extraordinary series of crimes committed in Dusseldorf by a German "Jack the Ripper." Up to the present time 20 murders have been definitely traced to this murderer, and scores of arrests have been made-• Yet the slayer remains at large, and Self- ridge Hannagan, a special corres pondent of the New York World, says that the best police in Germany are thoroughly baffled. After visiting the city he reports that probably more that one murderer is involved and that the crimes have been committed by a club of sexual perverts. The victims have been women and child- ren, but at least one man was mur- dered, presumably by the Ripper, and the theory is that he was despatched to prevent his giving information to the police. Behind this there looms something sinister. There are hints that the murderer or murderers, if not a member of the police force him- self, has at least allies there. Facts which are supposed to be known only to those actively engaged in' hunting the criminal, become speedily known to the hunted and almost as speedily to the newspapers for the assassin either telephones the news or sends postcards containing it. Mr. Hannagan was taken to the spot 'where the body of one of the (victims, Maria Hahn, was dug up, following directions given to the news- papers by the murderer. It was on a farm near a summer resort outside of Dusseldorf, and less than a quar- ter of a mile from farm buildings. Said his guide, "Look at it. This hole is five feet deep, six feet long and four feet wide. It is dug in clay soil, in winter and within sight of the farm house. How long do you think it would take a man to dig such a hole? How could anyone have done so undetected? , Where did he get the spades and picks? How would he explain the clay that would be all over his clothes when he went home? To -day in Dusseldorf every man watches his neighbor, and if anyone deviates in the least from a normal course of life he is denounced to the police." This stolid German observ- ed that Germany was one of the best policed countries in the world and he added, "It is not luck alone that per- mits a man to commit 20 murderous attacks in a great city and escape un- detected." Dusseldorf, by the way, is about the size of Toronto, but the po- lice there do not patrol the street They wait, apparently, for a crime to be committed before they appear, and we might inquire now what are they waiting for•? , All ordinary police methods have failed. As' remarked, numerous ar- rests halve been made, but the num- ber of discharges precisely equals the numlber of arrests. If the murderer has already been in the hands. of the police he has been able to convince them of his innocence and is again at large. Star detectives from Berlin and famed criminologists from Bonn have gone to Dusseldorf and extraordinary methods have been experimented with. For example there was recently pre- sented a peculiarly neurotic play—at the suggestion of the police, it is be- lieved. At every performance detec- tives swarmed through the house scrutinizing every face. It was ex- pected that the neurosis that the mur- derer is undoubtedly afflicted with would attract him to that play and that he might have given some sign. But he did not do so. Did he, per- chance, write the play, or was he the chief actor in it? At the exhumation of one of the 'victims only the police were present and the utmost precau- tions were -taken that no news of the discovery should leak out. Twenty- minutes wentyminutes later somebody telephoned to a newspaper giving the whole story. One thing peculiar to all the crimes is that the victims are invariably buried either in vacant land in the city itself or in the suburbs. Mr. Hannagan reports that throughout the night figures with lanterns are to be seen prowling over likely stretch- es of unoccupied ground with spades and picks, digging in places which look as though they had recently been disturbed. There is a reward for the discovery of` any new ° bodies, and• since in a city like Dusseldorf people are frequently being reported as miss-, ing the fear is that the Vampire may have murdered more than he is of- ficially credited with. But in opposi- tion .to this theory is the apparent fact that- the murderer it only too anxiousta,-�;eport to trig' ''wepapets where a 9sody may be found.

The people are panic stricken. Some of them, otherwise sound -headed, believe that the"'Devil has returned to earth and is punishing Dusseldorf for its I sins. Few walk alone' at night. The children going to school are assembl- ed in guarded places and conveyed in -motor vans. How desperate the detectives are in their search for a single clue is in- dicated by an incident that occurred at Flingern, an artisan suburb, The World .correspondent and a compan- ion went to a place where in a huge hall dancing was going on to the con- sumption of beer and sausages. The orchestra was playing Germany's con- tribution to current music, "I Kiss Your Hand, Mada :1." Suddenly the orchestra stopped playing and three men appeared in the middle of the dance floor bearing a box which look- ed like a coffin. There was a fanfare of trumpets and the glass front of the casket was 'whisked off, revealing a life-size wax model of one of the Ripper's victims. One of the detec- tives then addressed the awe-stricken audience and explained who the vic- tim was and asked anyone who had known her in life to come forward. Then the grim box was paraded round the• hall confronting every person present while the hawk-eyed detec- tives sought to read every counten- ance that looked upon the shocking simulacrum. It seems time for Dus- seldorf to send for Philo Vance or Dr. Thorndyke or perhaps both of them in addition to Messieurs Han- aud and Poirot. MANY SHOPS IN OLD LONDON CATER TO WITCHCRAFT TRADE Many people in this country are without being aware of it, practising various forms of witchcraft. There are others—not a few—who pin their faith consciously to charms, amulets, talismans, and "magic potions" as af- fording them protection from ill -for- tune, illness, death, the malevolence of witches and the evil eye! Even in London there are girls who use love potions, mothers who hang holed stones at the head of children's beds in the belief that they have pow- er to ward off nightmare, and strong men who wear necklets of amber beads beneath their clothing to pro- mote good health. Most of the mas- cots carried to -day have their origin in age-old superstitions. In the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum one •of the most complete collections in the world of objects con- nected with withcraft has been form- ed. In it are to be found a remark- ably large number of queer things still used •by superstitious people in all parts of the kingdom. In a section devoted to the survival of witchcraft in London all manner of modern (yet really very ancient) amulets and talismans may be seen. They are to be bought at little shops in the meanest streets of the metro- polis - There are tooth -shaped btones which the credulous believe will pre- vent toothache; pieces of cork such as are carried about by some people as 'a remedy for cramp; "dragon's blood" and tormenting rddt, of which many a girl secretly compounds a po- tion wherewith she hopes' to win back the love of a cooling sweetheart; beads worn by - men and women to save them from 'colds and attacks of bronchitis—heads similar to those worn by African natives to secure them immunity' from the attention -df evil spirits!—crystal balls into which girls gaze at night, seeking knowledge of their prospects in love and mar- riage and future fortune. In a general section there are, lit- tle 'medals which are carried by sail- ors in the conviction that so long as they keep them they will not be ship- wrecked and drowned; dried frogs, aa`ied in cloth bags by the stlper- atitious to 'prevent fits; glass "walk- ing sticks" filled with the tiny pink and White sweets called "hundreds and thousands," and hung on cottage � 51 doors to protect the occupants withiD- against witches. The idea is that a night -calling witch will pause to count the "hun– dreds and thousands," and as it wilt be impossible for her to count theme all before dawn •breaks she will haves to scuttle back to her boiled over caul– dron, sped by her fear of the light! Then there are specimens of dried moles that in Devon are hung up int. bags to banish any and every dis- ease; necklaces of red silk worn in various parts of the country to pre- vents nose bleeding; the skin of as l:ingfisher which, nailed to the mast= of a sailing vessel, is' supposed to - bring fair weather, and the toad -- stone, which for centuries has beeale regarded as an infallible antidote for - poisons, and to give warning of their - presence by becoming exceedingly hot._ The so-called "toad -stones" arty; to- day merely stones, but in Shake-- speare's time there was a popular be— lief that they were to be found ii>a, the heads of toads. Among the most interesting facts: revealed in the witchcraft collectiorn is the origin of the custom of em bellishing umbrella handles with silk- en tassels shaped like acorns, speci- mens of which are shown. Acorns amulets have been used for many cen— turies because it was • held that the': oak -tree was sacred to the thunder - god, •and it was believed that the amulets would avert Lightning. Hence their use as umbrella tas- sels. OMEN of all ages, vv all over the world, are funding new health in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
