Many Happy Returns On Monday of this week, Right `Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in the Dominion Parliament, celebrated T• the sixtieth anniversary of his birth, he having been .born on December 17, 1874. • Sixty years is a long time to look back over, but sixty years is not old, scarcely is it middle aged, when the life of a prominent Canadian poli- tician is under consideration., And for thirty years or more. Mr. King has been a prominent Canadian and a prominent Canadian politician. In fact there are few men in Can- adian history who sprang into prom- inence in our national affairs at such an early an age as Mr. King, who were able to maintain that promin- ence over such a span of years as he has done. • He does not hold Canada in the hollow of his hand by any means, but at the same time, a man who has been three times Premier, and stands an excellent chance of filling that posi- tion a fourth time, at the age of sixty years, must possess some ability, some quality above that of a mere politician, to maintain not only the loyalty of his political followers, but the confidence of the Canadian peo- ple. Mr. King has done just that to a remarkable degree and we believe that the people of Canada, irrespec- tive of their political leanings, will wholeheartedly wish him many hap- py returns of his 'sixtieth birthday. • Time Will Correct His Speed The Stratford Beacon -Herald says that a man from London, Ontario, was doing fifty-five miles an hour and an officer stopped him. The court heard he was just starting on his honeymoon trip and cut the fine in two. He will move more slowly af- ter he deals with the landlord, the grocer, the coal man, the ice man, the milk man, the baker, and so on. Exactly. And, no doubt, in the course of years, there will be many times when his only desire to travel at fifty-five miles an hour will be to travel backwards. He won't get out of bed on a cold winter's night at the rate of fifty-five tines an hour, when one of the chil- dren cries. And he won't hurry home at the rate of fifty-five miles to Iook after the family while the wife goes bridg- ing, either. Neither will he cut the grass, nor dig the garden, nor wash the dishes, nor turn the mangle at fifty-five miles an hour. In fact, about the only time that young man will crave for speed will be on occasions when he has been sit- ting up late with a sick friend, or , something similar. He would beat fifty-five miles an hour getting home then, if he could. But he can't. , Following all honeymoons, how- ever, there comes a time when speed is the only thing that can save a man. Times when the only Use a man has for the ground is to push himself over it. If he can break fifty-five or even iaixty miles an , hour then—well-he's lucky. • The Hog has been a Good Friend Pigs._ are only pigs. We know that. But at the same time the lowly hog Baas been a good friend to the farmer dough these; years of depression. face the hog has been about the 41, , yt J 1 Z � Ali d1i I r ,.'''`41.12. a Y r °tail's 1J t4ti), I,:trrN: i� •., �f c•. ,AA ')r4112,„ 2i only t;ling on the farm that has held Ins own. He has had his ups and downs of course, but generally his price has ruled steady, with, perhaps, more ups than downs. And well it has been so. With pota- toes at twenty-five cents a bag and cattle prices where they have been for several years; raising the money to. pay the farm taxes is not the sim- ple matter that many outsiders be- lieve it to be. The prices of grain and hay have helped this fall, but without the hogs the farmers would be even in a wore plight than they are to-day—if that were possible. The prices of some farm commodi- ties are going up, but until all the others swing into line, the farmers are not going to get out from under, not to mention making a living or a little money. And until the farmer gets into that condition, the rest of us can whistle for good times, and take it out in whistling at that. Good and all as the hog has been in these times of depression, he can't do it all himself. Canadian prosper- ity can onlycome from the land anti until commodities step up to the hog, politicians can raise tariffs and boost other industries to the limit of their powers without making any impres- sion on the times, as far as prosperity is concerned. • Fare, Please The editor of the ° Clinton News - Record in its last issue says: "They found a nasty little snake in.. a bunch of bananas in Stratford the other day. We would advise that the editor of The Seaforth Expositor go down to Stratford, call for the edi- tor. of the Stratford Beacon -Herald, and together they go (they would thus keep each other's courage up) and try and make friends with it, and so get over their childish fear of snakes. We understand, of ,course, that the reptile is safely confined in a cage." Why should The Expositor pay any attention to a nasty little insinuation of cowardice just to make friends with a nasty little snake. That is what the Clinton editor called it any- way. And then there is the question of travel and the expense. We under- stand the Beacon -Herald editor is something of a traveller. At least he was up in Seaforth the . other day. But the . editor of The Expositor is not. Being the editor of a country weekly he can't afford to travel, and being Scotch, he would hate to waste , the money. If the editor of the Clinton paper is so anxious for us to make friends with that nasty little Stratford snake why doesn't she go down and bring it up here. And while she is at it, why not bring up a case or two of snake -bite preventative also. We will do our best to get on friendly terms with both. But if the Clinton editor wants us - to travel, especially on such an er- rand, there is only one inducement that would budge us—Fare, Please ! WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY. Only Two Left (PChristian'Science ;Monitor) Lord Chief Justice Holt of England was, as a youngster, a member of a club of rather m'is- chieavous fellows. Later in Iife most of this gang got into difficulties ,with the law. One day, when his lordship was presiding at a session of Old Bailey, he recognized a man who had been arrested on a charge of highway rob- bery as one of his boyhood companions. Think- ing that the prisoner had not recognized him, he began questioning him regarding some of his "'old associates,. The prisoner made 'a low bow. "Ah, my lord," he said with a deep sigh, "they are all hanged except your lordship and me." • Rural Philosophy ' (Trenton Courier-+Adrvoeate ) There is a wealth of wisdom, in same of the sayings of country people. A young lady, with a bit. of petticoat showing, was passing up a street when a 'lady remarked in our hearing: "That girl's father think more of her than her mother,' " A young man of our acquaintance told a young lady that times Were too hard .just now for their mtarriPatge. The girl promniptly minded hlio that "a hen can scratch as well d is roaster." "Throw your Matches in, the middle' of the floor," advised a friend, "and non will never set fixe to a !building."

(Dr. Thomas Guthrie in his book, "The Angel's Song," beautifully de- scribes' the scene in to -day's lesson. Hie 'says: "The birth of an heir to the throne is usually accompanied by circumstances !befitting so great an event. No place is deem -ad worthy of it but a royal place; and there, at the approach of the expected hour, high nobles and the great officers of state assemble, while the whole coun- try, big with hope, waits to welcome a successor to its long line of kings. Cannons announce the event; sea- ward, landward; guns flash and' roar from floating +batteries and rocky bat- tlements: bonfires 'blaze on hill -tops; steeples ring out the news in mterry, peals, the nation holds holiday, giv- ing itself to banqueting and enjoy- ments, 'while public prayers and thanksgiving, rise t5 Hilni .by whom kings reign and princes decree jus- tice.''' With such pomp and parade do the heirs of earthly thrones enter on the stage of fife! So came not He who is .the King of kings and Lord of lords. On the eve of His birth the world went on its usual round. None were moved for His coming; nor was there any preparation for the eluent—a chamber, or anything else. The very tokens by which the shepherds were taught to recognize Him were rept the 'majesty but the extreme aneanness of his condition. "This shall be a sign unto you; ye 'shall find the babe wrapped in swad- dling clothes Lying in a manger." In flet, the Lord of heaven was to be recognized by his Phulmiiliation, as its heirs are by thneir humility.. Omen of coming events, the world received its King in sullen silence. But 'the heaven's declared His glory, the skies sent out a sound—there were light, music, and angel forms. All these were in perfect keeping with .the One whose (birth they proclaimed—the silent night—the shining stare—the dews glistening on the< grass --snowy flocks safely pasturing—.and the she.p- iherds themselves, to whom the an- nunciation was made: men who whe- ther going before their eharge, or carrying the laimibst in their arms, or s tending bravely between their flocks' and the roaring lion, were the -chole= st emblems and types of Him who, dung to save ups, -gave His life for he sheep. To therm there suddenly ppeared a multitude of the heeavlern y host, turning night into day, and heading on the soft hills around a right but gentle radiance.

Ephesians 6:1-4.—The following ex- tract is takin from a Christmas ser- mon by Drr. Joseph Parker: "In the spirit of the Cross would I soleinnize and celebrate Christmas Day. Let there be no family quarrels after this morning. It is useless to boast of your Christian aspiration and Chris- tian' feeling, if you do not prepare to associate on terms of affection and confidlence with all ;persons within your awn house who are willing to reciprocate such feelings. Is it pos- sible that ,meneebers of one family inlay be living in enmity (fathers, pro- voke not your children to wrath). Let this .be ,the moment of the cessation of hostilities, and let each erri ulate the other in it spirit of forgiveness). Is it possible ebhet any son has run away from his father's house and is afraid to return? Let him' this day resolae that he will knock at the door of the old home, confess his sin, and ask to be taken once more into the bosom and love of the family. Are there differences between the old and the young? Let each consider how he can most earnestly fulfill tihe law of Christ; lest hili) indeed try to in- vent opportunities of reconciliation. If we really want to be reconciled' there can be no difficulty about the matter. If we will act in this way, this Christmas will be the brightest day in a life that must .of necessity have known much change, felt the coldness of much shadow, and seen the uncertainty of the richest treas- ures that !belong only to time. Lees pray for one another. With the dy- iivg year let us bury all our dtffer- eneces. Christianity came into the world to unite the human family. This is the burden of the music of -Christ's, heart. He always goes out after that which is lost until he finds it. (May the • spirit of prayer as set down in the following hytmm be the Ctlerisrtmas spirit in every home this season: "Breathe on me, Breath of God, Hell nie with Iife anew, That I may love what Thou dost love, Aad do what Thou wouldst do."
