The Indians weep easily. Why should we insist upon committing the missionary en- terprise to stoics who have lost nine - tenths of that mobile, flexible sym- pathy that makes a religious mes- sage attractive. Why should not men weep when they tell about •Christ's suffering? Why was it that Methodism swept America? It was not .because of its stoical self-conrtol! We need to learn of the past. "What, then, are the implications of an evangelical missionary enter- prise? They are, first of all, a mes- sage suited to men who are poor and not to men who are rich, to men who are illiterate.. rather than to men who are educated, to men who are dirty rather than to men who are clean, and an emotional rather than a stoi- cal presentation and the (vision of a Church radiant with eternal life, but oriental and different from ourselves. "This is going to take faith on our part and, for those of us who • look forward to the missionary enterprise, it ia going to take preparation of a type different from what is taught in the seminaries. You and I are en- gaged in carrying the Gospel not to the few but to 'every one; we believe in the universality of Christ and we must •become somewhat universal ourselves . . . We must have our deepest interest and our greatest love for those who are poor. If we do that, the missionary enterprise will be different, but it will be according to the mind of Christ and, therefore, it will be better."—From The Mis- sionary Monthly. that had ribw 'Succeeded. He cherish- ed no resentful remembrances against those who had been the instruments of his affliction. His subsequent con- duct shows that he had a most live- ly recollection of his father. Neither had ha ceased to remember the cruel treatment of his brethren; but he ceased to lay it, to heart. To his sec- ,ond son Joseph gave the name of Ephriarn, whioh means faithfulness and, for this he gives the' reason— "For God hath made me fruiful in the land of my affliction." When the famine commenced, Joseph opened the stores, and began to sell the corn, not only to the Egyp- tians, but to such foreigners as carne for it; and that foreigners did, come proves that Joseph was sealing just- ly with the Egyptians and not hold- ing the grain for an exorbitant prico The famine became widespread—ex- tending to all lands. One of the most touching memorials of the fa- mine with which Joseph bad to dea is found in a sepulchral inscription in became known to the chief but1e there --for this, that person and his companion had their dreams, that, by the interpretation of them, Joseph Might impress a fact concerning himself upon the chief butler's mind, • which, .,although for a time forgot- ten, he would not fail to remember • in the important hour, when his roy- al --master should be perplexed by want of an interpreter of his dreams. In that hour he did remember the Hebrew youth, and spoke to his mas- ter of the circumstances which hal occurred in the prison. On hearing this, the king sent in great haste to have Joseph brought from the pris- on. The whole matter of his 'life up :to this time had doubtless been ap- pointed for the hour which had at .11ength arrived'. (From. Sacred His- tory by Dr. Kitts). • Joseph was Prime Minister in the land of 'Egypt, invested with absolute • authority in consequence of his in- terpretation of the king's dreams, and Of the wike counsel which he gave to Pharaoh. -..No time waswasted in setting on foot the plan he had outlined as seen in verses 34-36. At the time when Joseph exchanged prison garb for royal robes and was honored, though a foreigner, before the people by be- ing driven in the king's second char- iot through the streets Pharaoh changed 'Joseph's name and gave him a wife, the daughter of a .prince. We see how completely Joseph fit- ted in to • his new circumstances— burying the past in the present, when he named his first born son Manas- seh—Forgetfulness. This does not mean that the past was obliterated from his memory—for the very act is one of remembrance. "For God, said he, hath made me to forget all my, toil, anikall my father's house."

He .quit the lOttawa district and went into Muskoka. By this tine he had saved quite a little money and undertook Operations on his own 'account. Just when it seemed that he was well on his way to prosperity there tame a business panic which ruined him,and left him and his partner $1,000 in debt. "Happy is the man who meets failure 'in his youth" was an axiom he salvaged from that disaster. He struggled' to his feet again, working harder than ever, and then saw greater oppor- tunities in Michigan. Here he even- tually 'became an important lumber• man, and an American citizens,Latei he moved to the Pacific coast and extended his operations. He went into the shipping business by acci- dent: .He could not get ships to handle his • lumber sand- determined to own his own. Thus when she was past 50 yeass he entered hupon the sphere of activity that was to carry his name around the world. He personally drummed up cargo for his first boats, and therafter took the keenest interest in every detail of their operation. A ship captain who was five minutes late in leaving a port on the other side of the world was certain to have a radio message about it from Dollar next day. His title of captain was a courtesy one, suggestive of the respect and affec- tion which his extraordinary talents and character won from all who knew ° Those .. who have read Peter B. Kyne's Cappy Ricks stories will.know What sort of man the late Robert Dollar was, for the American ship- ping magnate was the 'original of those tales. We do not know how many millions he was worth when he died the other da,- for nobody knows how many millions anybody is orth these days, but his fortune has been estimated at $100,000,000. He was the owner of the •greatest fleet of merchant ships sailing under the American flag, the American flag in this case being appropriately enough the dollar sign. Their ports of call included 'Yokohama, Kobe, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore, Col- ombo, Port Said, Alexandria, Naples, Genoa, °Matseilles, Barcelona, Boston, New York, Havana, the Panama Can- al and Los Angeles. If there were any other "ports where he thought • a cargo could be picked up or discharg- ed his ships would hare put into it. In addition to his shipping interests which were, as we have' said, the most important ever owned by a sin- gle American, he had great sums in- vested in lumberiag. On Burrard Inlet, the headquarters of his Can- adian activities, he built Dollarton, considered a model lumbering town. He was a life-long prohibitionist and when his latest ship was launched, the gruesome sight was seen of Mrs. Hoover breaking a bottle of wates over its beak or prow. However, Robert Dollar, is interest- ing to Canadians not as the Ameri- can citizen who became tremendous- ly wealthy and famous, but as the young Scotch immigrant who' made • his start along the Ottawa River, and there learned the business that be- came the cornerstone of his success. His father was foreman in a lumber yard at Falkirk, but through addic- tion to drink lost his job, and the family Moved to Canada. That was 73 years ago when Robert 'Dollar Dr: Harrison presents to us are ar- resting picture of the powersarid sim- plicity of the Mohammedan religion The whole creed is expressed in:— "There is no God. but Allah." But within that creed there is room for the extremes which are also in the Christian religion—sit one end the philosophic class of the well-to-do and educated; at the other the emotional approach of the illiterate and poor Who will preach the Gospel to these last? Dr. Harrisn writes: "We want some missionaries out in Arabia who can weep when they preach about Christ. That is a type of mission was rather a religious man, and was not personally involved in the disre- putable night life which his paper so graphically portrayed. Sport to him was a 'means rather than an end. `It was his strong dislike of John L. Sullivan that caused hirfi to offer the Police Gazette belt as a trophy for the heavyweight championship, in the hope that somebody would be tempted, to dethrone , the Boston Strong Boy. If we are not mistaken it was -he who backed- Kilrain to beat Sullivan. Also be it said to his credit that there never was a kind- lier landlord. A few years ago at a tiOdeof the housing shortage follow- ing the war *hen rents rocketed, Fox was the only landlord of im- portance in the city" of New York who refileed to raise or gouge his tenants, and they remained on at the old rate, which was about a half or a third What their less fortunate neighbors were paying. Perhapsthe seamiest side ef the Police Gazette was its advertising columns. Naturally reputable mer- chant a could not be induced to use its columns and it had recourse to the .manufacturers a loaded dies, trick playing caras, brass knuckles, erotic Pictures and similar articles which were supposed to make a spe- cial appeal to the small town yokel who was the most faithful reader the paper. One (might also buy a police badge or billy and take a cor- respondenee course in the art and mystery df detective work. But with all its faults the Police Gazette, so far as we are aware, never ventured into, the murky realm of blackmail as did some papers supposed to be more respectable.

Old Police Gazette Has Ceased to Exist -We learn that the financial diffi- culties which beset Judge recently have been composed; but it is said to think that Life and the Outlook, two of the best 'Papers of their separate kind in the United States, have ceas- ed as weeklies and continue as mathlies. Nevertheless they con- tinue. This is more than can be sail of the •Police Gazette, which has col- lapsed. As Weare Holbrook says in the New York Herald Tribune, it is unasual for papers to disappear com- pletely. They may languish and fade and become cheaper and cheaper, and their appearance may be less and less frequent. At worst they are mergei in the end with some other publica- tion. But the Police Gazette has been sunk without leaving, a ts-ace and the reason is that it was a sur- vival of the age of innocence and was unable to compete in these hard- boiled' days, despite the fact that it was at one time considered to be the toughest egg in the basket.' We, have not seen a Police Gazette in years, buil can even at this late date recall the thrills it gave us in our youth. And the id'ea that it was not really, tough but merely pretended to be tough we flatly contradict. We can recall at least one expression in the Police Gazette which we dare not re- peat and which we doubt that even a female novelist discussing sex ques- tions would be (permitted to use. The Police Gazette carried as a sub -title, "The leadilig Illustrated Sporting Journal in America," but it was never a compendium of current sport. It would report dog fights and cock •fights and prize fights, but its and the stage. Its illustrations were pre -occupation was really with crime usually 'garnered from the purlieurs of the theatre, and invariably contain- ed some extreinselY bulging women in tights. These illustrations were supposed to be very daring, and no doubt they shocked the Victorians. Another feature was the off-color story. The nearest thing to, the Police Gazette which continues to flourish to -day, is the News of the World, which has the largest circu- lation of any weekly paper in the world, and the •comparison is not quite fair to „either. They are alike in this that an innocent reader hav- ing access to no other sources of in- formation might conclude that noth- ing had happened in the past week but a few sporting events, a couple of murders, some cases of. (blackmail and offences • against , women, and some spicy divorces. , 'This was the world as the Police Gazette saw it. Richard K. Fox, the young Irishman who built ib up and made himself a millionaire in the process, and James Gordon Bennett, a Scotchman, (were credited by H. K. Mendken a few years ago with hav- ing made greater contributions to modern Almeriea,nt‘journalism any other two men in. history. Their contributions, we believe, were me- chanical rather than intellectual. Fox was 15. The first employment the boy found was in a New. Edinburgh stave mill at a wage of $6.a month. For three years he continued at sim- ilar 'jobs and then was employed by the Hamilton Brothers, piominlent lumbermen, to work in one of their shanties up the river. Here he was made. chore boy to the shanty cook at $10 a month. The next season Robert ...was given promotion and equipped with an axe to cut roads for the ox teams that hauled the logs - to .the water. ' For some years this kind of em- ployment continued, the young man eventually earning $26 a month. At this time his sole ambition was to save enough to buy a farm. In three years he and his brother 'had put aside money to purehase ten acres, andas if to set a crown upon his success he was made chief cook of another lumber camp at the Gati- neau boom. It is casting no reflec- tion upon his gifts as chef to record that in those days black kg or scurvy and another peculiar ailment known as night blindness were rife among lumbermen-. This was be- cause of the diet of salt pork, bread, dried peas and beans that constitut- ed their bill of fare. The sybaritic lumberman who wanted tea was charged $1 a month for it, and, so there were no sybaritic lumbermen. When Dollar was 22' years old he was put in charge of a gang of men and took the first logs over the Chau- diere Falls, an unprecedented feat in river 'driving. But in the course of this exploit he incidentally flooded part of the Eddy match factory. Mr. Eddy came forth and expostulated in true riverman fashion and Dollar was able to repair the damage. Thus there began a friendship which lasted for life. In 1870 Dollar, whose fame as a leader or driver of lumbermen had spread all over' the district, was hired by the old firm of Perley and Pattee, whose head Was the father of Sir George Perley. Hle was paid $44 a month which was tops for the time. He did a lot of work for this firm and in the course of his opera- tions met his future wife in the little town of ,Coulonge. In the meantime, and at odd moments, he and his bro- ther continued to operate their little farm which by that time had grown until it eXtended over 500 acres. Dol- lar steadily iudree.sed his value to his employers. He became a most skil- ful builder, of dams and runways and thus- was able to save largesums of money on the Various operations with whihh he was entrusted. Having but a rudimentary- education he studied at, night, using birch bark in lieu of writing paper, The money his Coni- panions spent on liquor he spent On books, and in this way he soon mattered Freacht, whieh was o hstrisedi- ,•••• si.ihS!!isr•isit;!h.: • s. • (,14,S-shichipsis" At: would he accurate to say that in- stead of their being one Police Gazette, now defunct, there are scores of them in the United States., Its old field where it plowed the lonely furrow has been entered by gang plows which root far deeper into the subsoil of vice and crime and shame..

Immediately the hear - Because even animals cannot locate the place of low sounds, and it was most natural he expected the dog was outside, for he knew there was no dog in the stage. I have tried this experiment with lap dogs in automobiles. Sitting next to a person holding a small dog, I would turn my head from it and bark in a low tone, and it would iVanediately put its little feet on the ledge of the window and look outside for the other dog. It is easy to fool dogs this way. "In the Kingston railway round- house one morning, about 5 o'clock, a rooster began to crow. The men could not locate it, until a locomos tive was backed out of the building and the rooster jumped off the ten- der. Their ears would not tell them the place of the sound, which in the building and muffled became a low a sound. "I could greatly multiply these illustrations, but here is one sn convincing: On the evening of IS1ay 30, 1931, there was a heavy fog over an Ontario city, which is an airport. •Residents all over the city heard an aeroplane flying around in the fog. Fearing the aviator could not see to land, they telephoned the police. A huge -beacon was built on the field, but finally it was discovered that a manufacturing concern was trying out a new gas engine in its plant, and that was what people heard. Why did heople. all over the city make such a mistake? Because of the principle I am trying to prove, that the ear will not tell the location of certain sounds. And this sound resembling the humming of an aelo- plane made -the .people- imagine, an aviator was flying lost in the fog.

"The only thing that is thrown when a ventriloquist. works is tha audience's imagination, "Of course, the .ventriloquist speaks, in a tone different from his regular speaking voice. It is simply an oral illusion." "What about not moving the lips?" I asked. "Of' course," he answered, "a veil— triloquist ,tries to not move his lips, or he may hide the movetnent int some way. There are certain letters if pronounced plainly must have lip movement. They are: B, F, M P, V, W, Y. And here is something else that may interest you: Many people can do ventriloquial work who do not kn W'it. But as with music or other- omplishments, some can do it rich better than others. It is a simple art." Can't Throw Voice Recently I met a professional ven- triloquist, who possessed a theoreti- cal knowledge of his ,art as well' as a clever working or practical grass) of it. I asked, him, "Toll Me how you throw your voice?" to which he re- plied, "The same as you do." I protested I could not throw mine. "Oh, yes, you can and do," he as- sured. Every time you speak to a person you throw your voice. You may be standing Ave, ten or fifteen feet, or even half a block away, there are no wires nor strings con- necting you, but the person to whom you speak hears you. In the hog - calling contests in the southern states it has been claired some ;nen can be heard half a mile distant, surely thatis throwing on'e voice, isn't it?'' !But I explained that was not what I meant. I wanted to know _how ventriloquists throw .their :voiceS into a piano, or upstairs; downcellarand other places at will. Then his reply surprised me when he said, "Vens triloquists don't." I then asked if he really meant a ventriloquist could not throw his voice into vaious places, and he assured me he could not. "If a ventriloquist could throw his voice into any one place, he could talk to one person in the audience and the rest of the people could not hear him. ,It is purely a case of oral illusion, the same as with the eye we have optical illusions. Does it hot -occur to you that if he threw his voice into any object or place that sound would have to go in a -straight lineSound does not lineate, it radiates. That is, it goes out from a point in all directions, not in one straight line to any one object. "It is a scientific fact that your ear will not tell you the location of a low sound. Possibly you may call to mind some time when you were walking along a street and some one whistled. You looked around, but could not tell where the sound came from. Ornithologists tell us that many low -voiced birds are almost impossible to locate in the woods by their songs. "I remember tradelling in North- ern Ontario in a stage.
