111. The order,
1, The field. "The field is the
world." Chrietianity is a oniverzai
religion, and contemplates a world-
wicle ,evangelism. pecessity and prov-
sion are commensurate, and both are
universal. Invitatione are race -wide,
and as varied as the longinas of hu
01.421 heart. Christ's last commas -
seen ,excepts no man. "This gospel
of the kingdom shall be preached in
all the world der a witnees unto all
nations." Chriet was "the true Light,
which lighteth every man that cene-
eth unto the world,' and the foreor-
cleated provisions of the "everlasting
cerement"' are universally available.
The world must be won, "He that
winneth souls is wieo," both in aim
and enethod. No task so enlists the
energies or demands keenness of per-
ception, and readiness of adaptation,
aa does effle'.ent evangelism. Repel-
lant sererity ,and undue sympathy are
equally fatal. Coercion is both im-
rentable and worthless. "Knowing
therefore the terror of the Lord, we
persuade men." As "ambassadors
for Christ," Ne beseech men to be "re
conelled to God."
If, The agents. "The good seed
are the children of the kingdom."
Christianity is the basis of true broth-
erhood, and obliterating disinctions
nation or condition, makes men "one
In Christ Jesus." Christian love, like
that of its author, embraces the world,
A. heart in fellowship with Christ can
not be indifferent. The reaponsibil-
ties are immense. Jesus said to His
disciples, "Ye are the salt," the pre-
sereing-element, "of the earth." The
world C•wes more to the presence and
prayer., of , Christians than it real-
izes. Ten righteous men woilld have
turned aside judgment from the cities
-
of the plain. "Holding, forth the
word of life," declares the apostle,
Christianity embraces all, and the on-
ly effective element of human uplift.
Paul declared himself to be "debtor
bah to Greekii, and to the Barbar-
ians; both to thawise and to the un -

It 'Was eminently fitting that the first
triumphs of the -gospel should be won
in the dOomed etty of repeated rejec-
tions. Judea ,shared the benediction&
of its eivic.and religious centre. Sa-
maria was the scene of Philip's evan-
gelism, and Paul 'e burning raissionary
,zeal carried the message and the mes-
senger to distantelands. The home is
:dna basis of neighborhood and na-

A TRAVELLED GENTLEMAN.
No other plant in the entire range
of the vegetable kingdom has travelled
as far or met with such universal fe-
ver as this apple of the earth. To -day
North. America, produces more than
half a billion bushels of potatoes,
while Europe produces approximately
ten times as much as this continent,
Britain has set tlee pace in the use
of potatoes as a war -time substitute
in the baking ot bread. The Ministry
of Food has proved that excellent
bread can be made by the addition of
15, 20 and even 50 per cent of pota-
toes, Furthermore, it has been advo-
cating the use of potato butter as a
substitute for the dairy product.
Canadian bakers are at present ex-
perimenting with potatoes on an ex-
tensive scale, and in Nova Scotia girls
aro being employed in the bakeshops
expressly to peel and prepare the po-
tatoes so that they will be ready for
the men when they come on for their
night work. This is purely a war -time
innevation, The tradesmen who have
tried it out declare that their bread
Is greatly improved in color, flavor
and keeping quality as a result of the
use they are making of potatoes in
mixing it, The Canada Food Board Is
supplying the hotels with recipes, so
that within a short space at time the
public is likely to become familiar
with potato bread,
CONSERVATIVE MUST LEARN.
To many wonien this is no new pro-
position, but the great majority who
bake their own bread are conservative
about venturing forth, on, a new and
untried field. Many of the women in
, the Okanagan Valley, Erlash Colurn
bia:, have been using a large propor-
tion of potatoes in -their bread for
seine time past with excellent results.
There are certain things to be re-
membered in its preparation, The

engaged in a battle an inferior force

at least one of his own went down
behiud his own lines. Early in the
evening a flight or enetnY Planee
swept low down over part of our nor-

A gallant story is tord et two sig-

which has fought since the battle
of the Ypres salient in 1916 through
the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Lens, Hill
70, Passchendaele and the recent
battle. They are chums, one coining
from London, England, and the other
from Winnipeg. It was ' just before
tile opening of a very Important'
sbow, when it was vitally important
that telephone connection between
the battery and brigade headquar-
ters should be maintained at all
costs. They discovered that the line
was down, and, though me enemy
was btrafing with a very deadly shell-
fire, they methodically went to work
to find and repair the break. This
done, they diseovered that other bat-
teriee on the line were cut off and
they proceeded te repair the whole

TALES OF HEROISM LEGION,
Tales of individual heroism are

than the gallantry of the eolottel
of a .Canadian Scottish battalion who,
when his unit was in a very tjght

our line, owing to its flank being irt
the air for lack of support, pereonale
ly allied it to the Litman, leading
hie front rank by a hundred yetede

ing victory from what seemed ,a die -
