The New Federal Cabinet
The new Federal Cabinet I-, as been
chosen, sworn in and has now got
down to the business of superintend-
ing the government of Canada for
tyle next four or five years.
The, personnel of the. new Cabinet,
which .will consist of fifteen mem-
bers, besides the Premier, reads:
Hon. Ian Mackenzie, British Co-
lumbia, Minister of National De-
fence.
Hon: J. L. Isley, Nova Scotia, Min-
ister of National Revenue.
Hon. Ernest :Lapointe, _ Quebec,.
Minister of Justice.
Hon. Fernand Rinfret,' Quebec,
Secretary of State.
Hon. C. G. Power, Quebec, Minis-
' ter of Pensions and National Health.
Hon. T. A. Crerar, Manitoba, Min-
ister of Interior, Mines and Immigra-
tion. '
Hon. C. A. Dunning, Quebec, Min-
ister of Finance.
Hon. Clarence D. Howe, Ontario,
Minister of Communications, Rail-
ways and Marine.
Hon. James G. Gardiner, Saskat-
chewan, Minister of Agriculture.
Hon. J. C. Elliott, K.C., Ontario,
Postmaster -General.
Hon. J. E. Michand, K.C., New
Brunswick, Minister of Fisheries.
Hon. W. D. Euler, Minister of
Trade and Commerce.
Hon. P. J. Arthur, Cardin, Minis-
ter of Public Works.
Hon. Norman McL: Rogers, On-
tario, Minister of Labor.
Senator Dandurand, Quebec, Min-
ister Without Portfolio.
Premier King's selection® forms a
Cabinet of outstanding men; out-
standing not only in politics but in
the business, professional and agri-
cultural life of Canada, and has met
with very general approval across
- Canada.
Of the Cabinet, five members:
Messrs. Lapointe, Dunning, Macken-
zie, Elliott and Euler, were members
of the King Cabinet previous to 1930.
Mr. Crerar is also a former Cabinet
Minister, and Senator Dandurand
A has . had wide experience in political
life.
The other new Ministers are not as
• generally well known, but most of
them have had parliamentary experi-
ence, and in their own districts are
said to be men of exceeding promise.
One of these, Hon. Jas. G. Gardiner,
has twice been Premier of Saskat-
chewan.
Most of the Cabinet Members,
while long in experience, are young
in years, as ministers go, which in
itself is much in their favor. They
will bring into their work enthusi-
asm "and fire, and backed by the ex-
perience of older heads, the combin-
ation will provide a progressive, but
at the same time, a stable govern-
ment, something that Canada very
greatly needs in the next few years,
if it is to find its way out of depres-
sion and into prosperity again.
With such a Cabinet personnel and
with a following in the House of
Commons of something over a hun-
dred and seventy members, Premier
King will have a free hand, some-
thing he has never had before as a
P:r, tinier, to implement such legisla-
tion as he judges best for the coun-
try's good .and advancement. It is
hid golden opportunity, and we be-
lievd, as, well as the county generally,
i11 use it wisely and well.
Just Fiftp Years Ago
It is just fifty years ago, or to be
exact, on November 7th of this year,
it will be fifty years since the com-
pletion of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way.
On that date the track layers
working east and the track layers
working west, met in British Colum-
bia, and the last spike was driven in
Canada's first transcontinental rail-
way, the C.P.R.
The present generation, and even
an older one, look upon the C.P.R.
as having existed from the begin-
ning of time.' And even an older
generation still, can scarcely look
upon the life of that railway as only
one-half century
Perhaps it is the changes and the
rapidity of them that makes the C.
P.R. seem so much older than it
really is. And what changes there
have been.
Fifty years ago a trip across Can-
ada was not the lightly -considered
journey that it is to -day. To -day the
Ontario traveller steps on a C.P.R.
train with the assurance that his
western destination is only a matter
of days, and very few days at that.
And while on that train he or she
will live in comfort, not to say lux-
ury, equal to that of the modern ho-
tel, and• superior far to that of the
average home. Every attention will
be given; sumptuous meals will be
served; newspapers, magazines and
a library will provide daily diversion;
the radio will bring the world news
and at night the traveller retires to
a comfortable bed, in a private room,
if desired. And when that traveller
gets to the destination, in all pro-
bability there will be a complaint if
the train is a few minutes late.
It was not that way fifty years
ago. Then a Western journey was
an adventure—an adventure always
accompanied by discomfort; often by
hardship. The West was not popu-
lated then. There were no Western
Provinces; a few trading posts, but
no western towns and no western
cities.
The traveller then coild still vis-
ualize the immensity of the under-
taking in building such a road; the
dangers it involved; the courage of
the promoters, whom people said
were dreaming dreams, and the cour-
age of the men who laid that ribbon
of steel, over which we glide so
swiftly and ,comfortably without
giving a thought to the time, the
place, or the condition of its origin.
The C.P.R. and Canada, perhaps
largely because of it, have travelled
far in just fifty years.
•
We Did Not See A np Of It
In an editorial the other day, ex-
plaining to its satisfaction, at least,
the cause of the Conservative de-
feat, the Toronto Mail and Empire
said: "Everybody knows that the
Liberal leaders are surrounded by
millionaires, and that they did not
suffer for want of money in the late
contest."
Well, perhaps. But we did not see
any of that pa6ney during the recent
contest, and we thought we were a
pretty good Liberal. too.
Neither did the constituency in
which we vote, nor the county in
which we live; nor the adjoining
counties either. Can it be that The
Mail was exaggerating?
And again The Mail said: "The -
fact is that in the election which
terminated a week ago, there was
such a confusion of cries on the part
of various oppositionist parties that
the people were confused."
Well, again perhaps. But consid-
ering the result, to the average ob-
server, there would appear to have
been a singular lack of confusion in
the minds of the voters on election '
day.
On the contrary, it would appear
that a very large percentage of the
Canadian people had early and de-
finitely made up their minds as to
what they Would do on election day,
and when long last that day came,
they did it almost unanimously. But
there was no confusion. None what.
ever.

IDid you ever know that the seal in
use by the 'County of Huron has an
official background and that it was
granted in 1841?
The 'Misses Lizars, in that inter-
esting book. of early 'Harron history,
"In the Days of the 'Canada Com-
pany," tell of the Huron seal and ex-
plain it as follows,:
"The Seal of the County of Huron
displays an armorial "achievement"
technically descrithect as follows:—
Azure, a garib!, Orel& Orea chief of the
last, a plough proper;, crest, a duster
arm embolwed, oouped at the shoul-
der, nested above the elbow, wield-
ing an axe, all 'proper; 'accosted by a
wreath of laurel and another of oak
leaves; the Whole surrounded by the
legend, "The 'County of Huron, 1841."
The parts of such description not in-
telligible to those not learned in
(heraldry may be described shortly as
a shield of which the lower two-
thirds part 'is ,.blue and has in it a
sheaf of golde grain, and the upper
part is gold, h vdng on it a plough
.with a wreath of laurel on one side
and oak leavesi on the other; the re-
mainder does nob, require further ex-
planation.
"In Biome copies of the Seal the
plough appears to be standing upon
ground), 'bub as ,this is unlheraldic,
and spoils what is otherwlise a cor-
rect heraldic composition it is omit-
ted from the description. It may be
questioned whether the Arm of a
County should include a crest, which
is properly a military adjunct to the
Arm`s; but as the Counties of Upper
Canada had, in the early part of the
present century, a distinctly military
charadter, which practically still con-
tinues under the existing militia or-
ganization, a crest does not seem in-
appropriate."
It will be seen from this descrip-
tion that •some changes have occur-
red in the Seal at present in use,
The present seal tis oval, while the
one described here is circular. The
present seal too shows two wreaths
of laurel, rather than one of laure.
and one of oak.
JUST A SMILE OR TWO
A distinguished bishop, not long
ago, while making a journey by rail,
was unable to find his ticket when
the conductor• asked for it.
"Never mind, Bishop," said the
conductor, who knew him well, "I'll
get it on my second round."
However, when the conductor pass-
ed through 'the car again the ticket
was still missing.
"Oh, well, Bishop, it will be all
right fi you never find it," the con-
ductor assured him.
"No, it won't;" contradicted the
bishop, "I've got to find that ticket.
I want to know where I'm going."
Slowly the hands of the dock crept
around to the hour, and at the first
chime the slow procession commence

S. S. LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 3
Lesson Topic—Judah Taken Captive.
Lesson Passage—II Kings 25:1-12.
Golden Text ---Proverbs 14:34.
In chapter 24 weesee things ripen-
ing for, and hastening towards the
utter destruction of Jerusalem. It is
here that Nebuchadnezzar, king of
Babylon, comes into the history of
Judah. He was a powerful prince
and a terror to the neighboring na-
tions; and yet his name had not been
known in sacred history and if it
hacl not been employed in the destruc-
tion of Jerusalem, and the captivity
of the Jews. Jehoiakim was king of
Judah at the time Nebuchadnezzar
began to reign in Babylon and in
the eighth year of his reign he
brought the king of Judah into sub-
jection to him. Three years after-
wards, depending an the king • of
Egypt for help, the king of Judah re-
belled. If he had been content with
his servitude and true to his word
(he had promised fidelity), his condi-
tion had been no worse, but rebell-
ing against the king of Babylon, he
plunged himself into more trouble.
We read in verse 3: "Surely at the
comm'andmemt• of the Lord came this
upon Judah, to remove them out of
his sight for the sins of Manasseh."
God had waited long to see repent-
ance in the life of the nation; but
now he visited upon the third and
fourth generations the sin of the
shedding of innocent blood—the blood
of God's witnesses. They were made
to see that "time will not wear out
the guilt of sin•," and that reprieves
are not pardons.
Jehoiakim, seeing his Country laid
waste, and himself abort to fall into
his enemy's hand, died of a broken
heart. He was succeeded by his son
Jehoiaohin, who was but eighteen
years of age when he began to reign.
It was a case,of a change but no im-
protvement, for he too did "that which
was evil in the sight of the Lord."
Three months after he ascended the
throne the king of Babylon besieged
Jerusalem and 'carried off the royal
family, all the treasures of the pal-
ace and of the temple, and all but
the poorest sort of the people of the
land. Had Jehoiachin feared God as
much as he feared his formidable en-
emy, he might have been a success-
ful ruler in Judah, even though a
subject king. The king of Babylon
mad'e Maltaniah, the son !of Josiah,
king,'bsrt, to let the world know he
was his creature, he changed his name
to Zedekiah. He was no better than
his predecessor and soon he began
to contrive and endeavor to shake off
the foreign yoke. In to=day's lesson
we have an account of the fatal con-
sequences of that attempt.
The king of Babylon's army laid
siege to Jerusal'e'm and for two years
it continued to molest the inhabitants
having resolved not to quit the city
till they had conquered it. Famine
became their a1ly. The king refused
to listen to Jeremiah, who pleaded
with him to .surrendercl. At length
the besiegers made a breach in the,
Wall and forced thelir way in. The
king, his family, and- an his great
men made their escape in the night
by sone secret passage. But they
were soon missed, pursued and over-
taken and a terrible fate awaited him.
He was taken before the king of
Babylon, tried by La council of war,
and punished by being deprived of
his eyesight, but not before he was
made to witness the putting to death
of all the royal children. His chief
officers too were slain. The king was
bound in fetters of brass and taken to
Babylon, having for company the
memory of a wicked life, unrelieved
with a single ray of -the sun's light,
and the consciou'eness ever with him
that had he served God things would
have been very different. The city
of Jerusalem was burnt, the walls
broken down and all but the poorest
of the land carried to Babylon. Some-
times poverty, as in this case, is a
protection, The rich Jews were pris-
oners in an enemy's country, while
the poor, wham they had desplised and
oppressed, had liberty and now peace
in their own country. They were
left to be the wine -dressers and hus-
bandmen of the land. One of them-
selves was appointed to be. their ov-
erseer. He was a good man and he
had the help of Jeremiah to counsel
him. Yet this hopeful settlement is
dashed to pieces, for the utter ex-
tirpation of the Jews for the present
was determined, and therefore it is
in vain for' them to think of taking
root again. "Behold, that which I
have built will I break down, and
that which 'I have planted' I will
pluck up, even this whole land" (Jer.
45:4). The remnant left Judah and
went to Egypt, where, it is probable
they mixed with the Egyptians by
degrees, and were never heard of
more as Israelites. This were they
deprived of their promised land by
their own folly and disobedience and
Egypt had the last of them.
(Henry's Bible).

WORLD MISSIONS
The King As Worker
One• of the busiest men in London
remarked to a journalist at the close
of the war: "I have seen the King
at work, and, I should not like his
job. He accepts the day's routine as
a great duty, and puts his heart into
all he does." Mr. Lloyd George said,
at a public meeting: "There is one
man who works as hard as the most
strenuous toiler in the country, and
that man is the sovereign of these
realms." During the war years the
King was at his desk by '9.30 each
morning, working with his secretar-
ies over despatch boxes, official docu-
ments and letters. He kept "a clean
desk." Each day's business was punc-
tually cleared off, and no details were
allowed to 'accumulate. In the inter-
vals of work a stroll wee. taken in
the garden. This was often the only
recreation the King allowed himself.
The motto on his writing table was
",Do, it now." Many hours of His
Majesty's week are occupied with
personal interviews. 'In the war
years alone 'he conferred over 15,000
decorations, and in each case he had
made himself acquainted before-
hand with the special services of in-
dividuals..
l 'Writing of the ''Xing as "a good
sportsman, a hard worker, and a
thoroughly good man," Mr. 'Somer-
vell mentions a rhymester whose
simple verse is said to have given
much pleasure So Queen Mary. There
was an old lampoon on "The Four
Georges" which had ended with the
couplet:
"When 'George IV from earth de-
• scended,
Then, Heaven be thanked, the Georges
ended." '
'The rhymester added four more
lines:
"Say not so, my ancient friend,
Tames may change and threes may
mend;
rn George. the Fifth at length you see
How good a Itin'g a ;Oso may he"
