Mr. Bennett's Cabinet Is
Dwindling
When Mr. Stevens was eased out
of Mr. Bennett's Cabinet, it made
the first vacancy.
Now appointments to Senate and
Bench have claimed four more mem-
bers of that same body.
Hon. Alfred Duranleau, Minister
of Marine, has been appointed a
Judge of the Superior Court of the
Province of Quebec.
Hon. Arthur Sauve, Postmaster
General; Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Minis-
ter of Finance, and Hon: J. A. Mac-
donald, Minister without Portfolio,
have been appointed to the Senate.
That makes five Cabinet vacancies,
and although it is generally under-
tood that Mr. Bennett is the Cab-
inet, it will be necessary, for appear-
ances' sake, if nothing else, to fill
thein all before the coming general
election.
A general reorganization • of the
Cabinet is, apparently,
,n the offing.
It is not a very goodsign, perhaps,
but necessity knows no ,,law. Mr.
Bennett must have a Cabinet, whe-
ther he makes use of it or not.
•
Mr. Stevens and the Farmers
Il.on. H. H. Stevens, the leader of
the new Reconstruction Party, has
taken the Canadian farmer under his
wing. "Henceforth he will be their
guide, philosopher and friend.
He will lift them out of the depres-
sion under which, for the past five
years, they have been trying to make
a living, even if they could not make
ends meet.
In his opening address of the cam-
paign delivered in St. Catharines on
Saturday last, the Hon. Gentleman
promised (if returned to power, of
course) that he would give the farm-
er .a `fighting chance."
To give the farmer this fighting
chance, Mr. Stevens promised again
to create a Dominion Agricultural
Board, charged with the duty of see-
ing that the products of the. soil
brought a fair price to their produc-
' ers.
In other words, when the supply
of farming products exceeds thede-
mands, he,,ysirill use the country's tax
money to bolster up the price. He
will bonus the farmer.
It is a fine theory, but in practise,
ilot so good. Under a similar ar-
rangement Canada already has in its
possession some two hundred odd
million bushels of wheat that it does
not know what to do with, and on
which the country stands to lose
some hundred million dollars.
It is very kind of Mr. Stevens to
sympathize with the farmers in their
present plight. They are certainly
entitled to it. Likewise they are en-
titled to some protection—protection
from Mr. Stevens, we mean.
As a Minister of the Government
for the past five years, Mr. Stevens
hasp had quite a bit to do with the
Canadian farmer, and those things
he has done, as well as left undone,
are largely responsible for the plight
of the farmer to -day.
As the highest tariff man of a high
tariff cabinet, he has, in the past five
years, closed every market against
the Canadian farmer in which he
formerly was able to make a living.
But Mr. Stevens does not say any-
. thilrlg about that. Perhaps he has
prgotten it,' or perhaps, he is will-
ing. to let bygones be bygones.
At any rate he is promising to give
"aIers; `llrtrlg ehanee" in
'Uppc r ,. Will that
zl}
l
it
promise b enough for the farmers?
Hardly!
For one! thing, after the existence
the farmers have been struggling for
during the past five years, there is
not a great deal of fight left in them.
As a class they have suffered as no
other class has suffered. Their mem-
ory of Mr. Stevens and his kind is
too fresh in their minds.
His promise is good, but it is only
a promise and an election one at
that. When it is stacked up against
his past record and past perform-
ance, it holds little of assurance, or
hope of realization.
Mr. Stevens will have to try again;
to use another tack, to use other
bait, before the farmers as a whole
will rise to alis lure.
•
Spontaneous Combustion
Much discussion heard in this of-
fice recently would lead one to the
belief that much of the early hay
that went into the barns this season
was . not properly or sufficiently cur-
ed in the open before being stowed
in the mows.
This situation, we are told, arose
from the fact that the hay crop this
year was exceptionally heavy. A
record, in fact.
The hay was sappy and weather
conditions when haying was com-
menced were not favorable to rapid
curing. But the farmers could not
wait. Under the recent hot weather,
not only hay but all crops are ripen-
ing fast.
The grain is pushing the hay and
both are pushing the farmers. Im-
properly cured hay, even when treat-
ed with salt, will heat in the mow.
Every farmer knows that,
But will it heat sufficiently to cause
fire by spontaneous combustion?
That is the question.
Or is spontaneous combustion a
fact or a theory? There are scien-
tists who have proved to their own
satisfaction, as well as to the satis-
faction of others, that fire from
spontaneous combustion is a fact.
On the other hand, there are many
practical .farmers who claim it is a
theory only.
To settle this old and vexed ques-
tion, the farmer editor of the Beacon -
Herald, a. week ago, suggested that
this year, above all others, would be
the time for provincialauthorities to
keep watch and investigate fires
which were said to have been start-
ed by spontaneous combustion.
The suggestion is a good one and
might well be adopted by the Pro-
vincial Government, as there has al-
ways been a large element of doubt
about such fires, and it is a question
well worth settling.
Quite An Adventure
There are adventures which are
pleasant, and others 'which are not,
even when they end happily.
The daily papers on Monday tell
of one of the latter kind experienced
by Crown Attorney Dudley Holmes.
Mr. Holmes was enjoying t h e
peace of his garden, in the evening
until the mosquitoes' began to bother
him, and he decided to return to the
house.
First he called his pet cat to him,
but the cat that answered was not
his. It was a black cat with a white
strip down its back and a, bushy tail,
and it was friendly. It ambled over
to his chair and sat at his feet.
Now the Crown Attorney is a fast
thinker, whether on his feet or off
them. He froze and stayed frozen
until the cat ambled away again, and
then he gained the' house hurriedly.
The end was all right, but, oh!
what possibilities the beginning and
the middle of that' adventure held.
We know a local man who chased
one of those striped cats out of a
garbage barrel with a short stick one
night. And What is more, he got
away with it.
Few are as brave as that, however,
and then only once.

No. 3—The Wild Raspberry Patch
By Mrs. Paul Doig.
It lies at the back [of the farml—
our Wild raspberry patch. It is not
a large patch' as patches go. One
go•o:d industrious berry picker can
cover it fairly well in a day. -If it
were all berry bushes it might pos-
sibly take two days. But it is not
all berry bushes. Ah, no! There are
burdocks in bur berry ,patchigreat,
lusty, upstanding fellows, taller than
a tall man. There are elderberry,
bushes whose blossoms scent the air,
and wild grapeelines that trip up the
wary and the unwary alike.
The berry ,patch is at ,its best in
the eery early morning. Strictly
speaking no berry patch should even
be thought of in the afternoon. Of
Course, the early morning has its
drawlbacks, drawback No. 1 being that
if we are to see the berry patch in
the early morning we must first of
all anise early—a real incionvenience,
we must admit. Then the dews of
eve have an unfortunlate habit of
lingering ion into the morning; the
duller the morning the longer they
linger. And the longer they linger,
.the wetter gets the berry picker.
•
There is only -one suitable garment
for the serious berry picker and that
's sturdy denim overalls. That be-
comdng,heuse dress? All is vanity!
That year before last silk with the
holes •under the arms? To the rag
bag with it! Shorts? Don't make
us laugh! Overalls and a long-sleev-
ed blouse. Turn thy beck on every-
thing else and cling to these.
The next thing to be considered is
the 'water supply. People who don't
drink three glasses of water in a
month develop an overpowering thirst
ae soon as they reach the berry patch.
And no )berry picker can deo gabd'.

S. S. LESSON FOR JULY'`28, 1935
Lesson Topic—Amos (Prophet of So-
cial Justice).
Lesson Passage—Amos 7:7-17.
Golden Text -Amos 5:24.
at was in the reign of Jeroboam II,
the great grandson of Jehu, that the
kingdom of Israel reached the zenith
of its power and splendor. The pre-
dominance of the northern kingdom
was extended over the whole range
of the ancient domains of Solomon.
Jonah had been a prophet in the
earlier days of Jeroboam, perhaps be-
fore success had ended in corruption;
but by bhe time of the manhood of
Amos it .was evident to the eye of
the prophet that wealth had led to
vice, and that vice was the prelude
to decay and destruction. He could
not therefore be deceived by the ease
and •peace and glory which lulled the
'congemsf erary priests and prophets
into a sense of security. He held fast
to the eternal law that sin is weak-
ness, and that doom dogs the heels
of crime. He saw on every side
habitual drunkenness, disgraceful
self-indulgence, and total forgetful-
ness of God's essential requirements.
Amos would have been n'o true pro-
phet i•f he had not clearly seen that
because' right was right, and because
God was God, :such a state of things
could not last. It was the sense that
all Divine and :human laws were be-
ing violated with insolence and im-
punity that sent Ames from his
peaceful peasant occupation of herds-
man and dresser of sycamtore trees
to be a peasant prophet to warn anc-
ient nations and reprove mighty
kings,
When he reached the northern
kingdom he saw around him the
worst signs of national decay. He
saw the per starving in sullen mis-
ery among
"Men full of meat whom most
God's heart abaors."
Stung to wrath by pity, Amos
made the land ring vYibh his asser-
tion of Gods equal Fatherhood and
eternal righteousness. , Just as the
Eniglish poet re•presenits the Druid
consoling the British warrior -queen
with the certainty that
"Rome shall perish: write that word,
On the blood that she has spilt;
Perish, hopeless and abhorred,
Deep in ruin,as in guilt—"
So also Amos declares as he watch-
es the wrongs bf the "sons and daugh-
ters of misery and the multitude
ready to perish," that Israel [ cannot
survive,
It is evident that his prophecies
alarmed the leading authorities. In
the, seventh chapter from which to-
day's lesson is taken, Amos repres-
entseGod as having designed to- send
a plague of locusts, but after they
had eaten every green thing God had
withdrawn the peril at the prophet's
intercession. Again, there was the
thereat of some terrible onslaught by
fire. This, too, was withdrawn at
the prophet's prayer. But, after
that, he saw the Lord standing on a
well-built city wall with a plumbline
in his hand, and God would not any
longer be interceded with, nor pass
by any more the transgreseions of
Israel.
After such a pa'opheey, Amaziah,
the high priest of Bethel, thought it
time to exert his power. He went to
the king and accused the prophet of
treason which was likely to produce
dangerous discontent. Jeroboam did
not trouble himself about the matter
and so the priest took things into his
own hands and ordered Amos back
to his own country. This fired the
prophet and he told Amaziah that the
destruction was now very near, and
that he Would be personally affected.
High as was his pride of place, yet
in the day of Assyrian invasion his
wife should be reduced to a life of
infancy, his sons and daughters would
be. slain by'the•sword., his inheritance
would be divided among aliens and
as Israel should go into captivity, so
the priest himself should die in a pol-
luted land. -.(Condensed from Canon
Farr<4r's Lives of the 'Minor Pro-
phets).

WORLD MISSIONS
Standing in the Church Bread -line
(By J. C. Jackson)
A real estate man once sold me a
house. He took me through it from
cellar to attic, and then got into his
automobile and drove 'around in the
immediate vieinity. He showed me
the nice school building located near-
by; the great state university three
blocks away; the fire station; the
park with its great auditorium Wild-
ing, but finally he pointed out the
church in which I worshipped for
many years thereafter.
These assets made the property
leak good to me, but even more valu-
able to anyone leaking for an invest-
ment.
The deal was clinched and I mous
ed in. As a citizen of 'tie city I
contributed my share to the mainten-
ance of the school; I contributed my
share to the maintenance of the
park; I contributed my share in the
maintenance of the fire department;
but for several months I contributed
nothing to the church.
6 grew ashamed. I said to myself:
"My ,prophecy is a better investment
because the church is nearby,. If
death or trouble.. sholald come to my
home I would net hesitate to call on
the pastor, _and he would never re-
fuse to cortie. I accept all of these
benefits which make my home desir-
able, ,and contribute to them all ex-
cept the church, to which' I am con-
trilbuting nothing,"
'So I grew ashamed • of taking s'o
much and giving nothing at all, of
standing in the church's' bread'aline.
Many Christians would feel as I did
if they ,should think the thing
through. Every community has peo-
ple who are getting something for
nothing at the expense of the church.
