PRAYER
,'"God is Love," In this was mani-
ested the loVe of 'God toward us, be-
cauee that God "sent his only begot-
ten Son int e the world, that we
might live through Ilina"--1. John,
4:8-9. The following is condensed
from that address:
Love is impossible of definition. Yet
you all know what love is. John tells
us again and again that love is to be
seen and known only in what it does.
The first and simplest thing to say
about love is that it is a social pas-
sion. There cannot be love without
two, a lover and a beloved. If God
he love, He must have loved from all
eternity. There was love between
the Father and the Son, and between
the Father and the Spirit, before time
began to be. When the Son emptied
Himself of His glory, the most costly
sacrifice was not that He took our
flesh and was found in fashion as a
man. This was the supreme loss and
the heaviest sorrow, that, as one
passes out of the love and commun-
ion of a home, into a hard and alien
world, so Christ passed out from the
Father into the scorn of Nazareth.
In His high priestly prayer (John
17:24) He recalls the love wherewith
"thou lovedst me before the founda-
tion of the world." The second thing
to say about love is this -love is cre-
ation. When next you ponder the
things of your spirit, your faculties
of love and joy and hope; when you
fear, and sorrow and pray; when you
hunger and thirst for more than this
world can give; you shall realize with
a strengthening joy that God created
you with your spiritual capacity to
respond to Him, because He is love.
The third simple thing to say about
love is this -that love is providence.
Love cannot be content with creation.
It must pass on to care, and God's
care is His Providence. And so God
did not create the universe, and make
all things beautiful in their season
and set His spirit in man and then
turn His back and vanish into silence.
"Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face."
The fourth thing and the greatest
thing to say about love is this -love
is grace. The unknown sacrifices of
many a reticent man and silent wo-
man are those which are made, day
after day, to win dear ones back to
purity and truth. What can God,
who is love, do for the sinner but pour
Himself out in costly sacrifice to re-
deem him. "God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believth in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life"
(John 3:16).
God has this message for you which
meets all the breath of your man-
hood's thought, and all the depth of
your manhood's need; that He is love
eternal, love that creates, love that
provides, love that redeems, love that

S. S. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 20
Lesson Topic -The Supreme Gift of
Love (Christmas Lesson).
Lesson Passage -1 John 4:7-19.
Golden Text -1 John 4:11.
Professor Henry Drummond gave an
address on "Love' as found in the
13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, at the
country home of Lord Aberdeen. Lis-
tening to him was the great evangel-
ist, D. L. Moody, who afterwards in-
vited him to repeat it at the North-
field Conference. It was printed in
different publications in United States.
Later on it was published in Britain
and the British Weekly described it
as "one of the most exquisite and
perfect things Professor Drummond
has ever written, and full of the spir-
it of Christ." Since then it has been
printed in many languages under the
title of "The Greatest Thing in the
World." To -day's lesson is on that
same topic based' on the words of St.
John, the evangelist.
In a series of addresses delivered
in Glasgow, Rev. Dr. Clow gave one

disciplines, love that waits to bid us
welcome to the Father's horne at last:
"God loves to be longed for, He longs
to be sought,
For He sought us Himself with such
longing and love,
He died for desire of us, marvellous
thought!
And He yearns for us now to be with
Him above."
WORLD MISSIONS
The Woman Who Went Eight Times
Over Instead of Once Only.
As the embers of the Presbytery
ttarne out of the meeting, Mrs. Mof-
fett faced them in the vestibule. Tears
Were in her eyes and determination
was in her heart. "You will not let
Me go," she said, "but I'll send every
child I have." A great peace filled
her heart. She had prayed earnestly
that God would not let her miss His
will for her life. It had been bard
to understand why, again and again,
the door had been closed before her
eager feet, but now the answer was
clear. "The door is not closed. You
are to go -not in person, but through
your children."
She not only gave her ehildren b,at
she trained them for lives of service.
There was no long -faced Christianity
in her life. Her piety was deep and
genuine but she entered into the
sports and pleasures of her children
as if she were as young as they.
About twenty-five years she spent
in getting ready to go, not as one
missionary, but as eight missionaries
-through her eight children. - The
Missionary Review.
About fifty years ago, Carrie Lena
Crawford, a high spirited, popular
girl of old Kentucky, faced many
doors that opened before her inVit-
ingly. She was full of fun and a
rollickingly good humor. When she
studied the Westminster Catechism
she learned not only the first phrase
of the answer to the question: "What
is the chief end of man?" "To glor-
ify God" -but also the second phrase
-"And to enjoy Him forever." She
"enjoyed" her Lord so thoroughly she
wanted to share her joy with the
whole world.
'Before the Student Volunteer Move-
ment was organized, she offered her-
self to the Foreign Mission Board of
the Presbyterian Church. "Too
Young" was the reply. "It is not
advisable to send such a very young
and inexperienced girl."
Miss Crawford became Mrs. Alex-
ander Stuart Moffett and she and Dr.
Moffett both volunteered for foreign
mission service but again the Mission
Board said "Not advisable."
Years passed but the missionary
purpose did not pass from their
hearts. When Dr. Moffett was pastor
at Midway, Kentucky and he was 50
years old and his wife forty-five, they
offered themselves once more. They
had six children, and planned to place
the older ones in school in America.
At last they were accepted. Their
outfit was prepared and they were
ready to sail to Brazil. At a meeting
of the Presbytery called in the church
in Midway, the question was again op-
ened and by a small majority it was
voted that after all it was too ex-
pensive to send a family to the field.
so that their commission was recall-
ed -even before they had sailed.

We all know that the best way to wish a friend a Merry
Christmas is to say it yourself - especially in the case of
out-of-town friends who appreciate your voice more
than any other form of greeting.
BUT - if everybody waits until ChristmAs Day to make
these calls there are bound to be crowded lines and
delays.
• We telephone operators all wish to avoid that sort of
thing. We want to put your Christmas calls through
promptly and pleasantly. We therefore suggest that
you place your calls as many days before Christmas
as you can.
A Christmas greeting is just as timely and appreciated
before Christmas as on the day itself; it is spoiled only
when it is late. So please be early this year and let us
show yc(u how quick and courteous our service can be.
FARM NOTES
after his retir ment not half a dozen
people in 'Ca ado knew the part he
had played at the time of the Fenian
raids. And it was only then that an
old political 'secret was revealed, and
a great Canadian patriot vindicated.
Dr. A. H. I.J.leolquhoun, deputy Min-
ister of Education, recalls that three
years after the second Fenian invas-
ion in 1870, the Government of Sir
John Macdonald was suddenly dis-
placed over the Pacific scandal. On
assuming _office the Liberal Govern-
ment discovered that the sum of
$25,000 had been drawn from the
secret service fund by Sir John per-
sonally. He was asked for an explana-
tion which he refused to give and a
special committee of the House of
Commons was appointed to investi-
gate without fruitful result, although
Sir John gave an account of all but
the sum of $6;600.
Even after his death his bio-
graphers made no reference •to the
matter. Dr. Colquhoun says that in
private conversation with Goldvvin
Smith in ,Toronto Sir John said, "I
cannot Make any explanation be-
cause men's lives are at stake."
Smith told him not to worry because
in England expenditures on secret
service are never explained. Nor, in
Canada, is it usual to give any details
about them. It was the fact that Sir
John had drawn the money person-
ally that caused the row. Incidentally.
it might be remarked that in Parlia-
ment his only Liberal defender was
his namesake, John Macdonald for
Centre Toronto, who received fitting
acknowledgment when Sir John re-
turned to office and made him a
senator. But the publication of Le
Caron's memoirs left no doubt in
'anyone's mind that he had been paid
by the 'Canadian Government with
which he was in constant communi-
cation for years concerning the Fen-
ian activities. 'Nor could there be any
doubt in the mind of anyone reading
these memoirs that for every dollar
Le Caron received he gave the Canad-
ian people a thousand dollars' worth
of protection.
Overseas Apple Market.
With moderate trans-Atlantic ship-
ments early in November, the demand
for apples in the United Kingdom has
been steady with prices slightly firm-
er, report Andrew Fulton, Ontario
growers' representative. Mr. Fulton
states that he has received some ap-
ples in recent shipments which were
poorly packed and he points out that
the shippers cannot expect to receive
top prices. He advises that Green-
ings be packed with all sizes mixed
in the one barrel. Baldwins from On-
tario are running to large sizes this
season and are therefore more dif-
ficult to sell. Many of them, how-
ever, are beautifully colored and fin-
ished. 'Mr. Fulton also refers to the
excellent exhibit of Ontario apples at
the Imperial Fruit Show in Manches-
ter, which was highly commended by
everyone„
Will Hold Conference
Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy has an-
nounced that with a view to devel-
oping new solutions to general
farm problems, lowering farm taxes
and securing better financial terms
for the farmers, he is calling at an
early date a conference at Queen's
Park with representatives from
every county council in the older
part of Ontario. Notices have gone
out to the clerks of all these coun-
cils, inviting suggestions on the pro-
posed conference. Colonel Kennedy
points out that in every county coun-
cil there is an agricultural committee
which with the co-operation the De-
partment is ready to offer, should be
able to play an important part in
bringing the farming industry back
to the status it once enjoyed.

Reduce Fertilizes Brands
The list of 76 brand, of fertilizers
registered for sale in Canada was re-
duced to 28 for Ontario at a recent
conference in Toronto. This move is
the outcome of the co-operative dem-
onstration work carried on by 0.A.C.
and the fertilizer industry for three
years, which has illustrated the ef-
fectiveness of properly chosen fer-
tilizers in increasing yields and im-
pt oving ouality. Not only will the
reduction in number of analyses great-
ly simplify the situation for buyers,
but it will have a definite effect in
reducing registration and manufactur-
ing costs, thus keeping the price of
fertilizers at a reasonable point. The
objective is to still further reduce the
number of fertilizer formulas at a
later date. Canadian manufacturers
svill offer in 1932 only those analyses
which were catalogued at the confer-
ence.
Ferlians Were Foiled
By An English Spy
Sergeant Leopold's exploit in worm-
ing himself into the confidences of the
Canadian Communist organization and
for years reporting its activities to
the, Government has aroused memor-
ies of the most famous spy Cana
ian history, to wit, Major ,Hlen
Caron. It was he who for many eats
held high office in the Fenians as an
agent of the British Government and
furnished information which enabled
the Canadian Government easily to
repel the two invasions of Canada.
With the second -fiasco the Fenian or-
ganization gradually dwindled and
died out, the militant Irish-Am-ericans
finding new spiritual homes in various
other brotherhoods founded on hatred
of England, the most notable being
the Clan-na-Gael, Major Le Caron
was also an influential and esteemed
member of this gang, and provided
the Government with facts which re-
sulted in the arrest of American
gangsters who went to England for
the purpose of carrying out a dyn-
amiting campaign. For 25 years Le
Caron was , under -cover British
agent, never suspected. He came to
light in the end when he was wanted
as a witness in the campaign against
Parnell, his testimony going to show
that Parnell was really a party to a
plan of (violence promoted in the Unit-
ed States.
But until Le Caron wroto his book
One of the most interesting things
we found in Le Caron's memoirs was
the account of the accidental way
in which he became a secret service
man and the casualness with which
he was permitted to drift into the
counsels of these various anti-
British organizations. His real name
was Thomas Beach and he was born
in England in 1841. He had some
instruction as a medical student
and then drifted to France for no
particular reason except a love of
change. When the American Civil
War broke out he found many of his
friends departing for the United
States and he threw his lot in with
them, and enlisted in the Northern
army. He had thought that his per-
iod of service would be short, but in
order not to alarm his parents he
told them nothing about his step and
chose at haphazard a French name
further to conceal his identity. Un-
der this name he served with honor
through the war and reached the rank
of major.
It was after, their discharge that
some of his former comrades of
Irish extraction found an outlet for
their ' turbulence in the Fenian
brotherhood. They talked freely in
front of Le Caron, supposing him to
be a Frenchman, and therefore a
traditional enemy of Great Britain.
In the course of his letters to his
father, he mentioned the warlike
) avings of the Fenians, which the
father perhaps assayed more acutely
than the son. In any event he took
the letters to a member of parlia-
ment, who in turn communicated the
substance of them to the British Gov-
ernment. In a short time through his
father, Le Caron received a proposal
from the government that he should
join the Fenians and learn what was
to be learned. This he did, and
throughout the remainder of his car-
eer as detective, no British enemy ev-
er had the slightest notion that he
was other than he seemed, although
on a couple of occasions he was near-
ly betrayed by accident. His reports
to the Canadian Government all went
