Tiberius. The tribute was a poll -tax, or

Herodiens. Their question was so framed "The course pursued by the enemies of

hand hint over as a traitor; if he said
that it was lawful he would lose the
favor of the people and his popularity
would. he destroyed. "Their motive now
was not their usual hostility to Rome,
but hatred of Christ. They actually
afterwards accused him of forbidding to
pay tribute (Luke x.xiii. 2); and the chief
priests, from the same hatred of him,
cried out, "We have no king but Caesar"
(John xix. 15. -Schaff. 15. Knowing

10. They brought ite--By requiring
them to bring him the coin, he compels
there to answer, tacitly, their own ques-
tion; for the Jewish rabbis taught that,
"wheresoever the money of any king is
current, there the inhabitants acknowl-
edge that king their lord." -Abbott.

fecteti case of conscience and of those
wbo proposed. it." -Ellicott.
17. Render --The word render implies
the notion of moral duty toward. Caesar
quite as much as toward God.-Godet,
To Caesar -Rather, here, give backto
Caesar. They ask, Is it lawful to give?
He replies, Give back. Since they ac-
cepted in the coinage of Caesar the ben-
efits of his government, they were bound
to give back a recompense in tribute.
So long as the citizen accepts the bene-
fit of a government, he owes it allegi-
ance and obedience. -Abbott. In this
reply our Lord evades the peculiarity of
every party, yet sustains the truth in
question. The Herodians cannot complain
for Caesar's government is not attacked.
The Pharisees canuot complain, for His
decision is in harmony with their own
confession. Our Lord refused to act as
a political patriot or a as a political ar-
biter. Be simply decides as a religious
teacher that government is right and
must receive proper dues.-Whedon, and
to God -Not the temple tribute mere-
ly, but all things. As the acceptance of
Caesar's government involves the duty
of tax -paying to him, so the acceptance
of every good and perfect gift from
above involves the duty of supreme al-
legiance to God. -Abbott. The face of
the penny answered their question. It
did more; it suggested a beautiful anal-
ogy, too forcible to be omitted. As the
penny bore the stamp of Caesar, so
does the human heart bear the stamp of
God. As the fenny should be rendered. to
Caesar, in honest, ungrudging pa.yment,
so should the homage of man's heart be
rendered with willing soul to its makedr
-God.--Cowles. There were many dues
'which God. tequired at their hands, which
they might easily pay, if they were in-
clined. Honor, love, obedience, faith, fear,
prayer, spiritual worship, were payments
to God which they might daily make, and
payments with which the Roman Govern-
ment did not Intel ere. -Ryle. For illus-

at the discovery, for this man was in at •

he would bave ample opportunities cf
hearing his master's opinions expressed
in all the confidence of social intercourse.
One of the punkah -bearers, too, was
found to be quite a well-to-do man. His
position was a most menial one, yet its
duties took bim within sight and hear-
ing of his master nutny times a day.
It was suspected that the Nawab was
making it worth Ms while to submit
to the drudgery of so mean a post" "A
false witness shall not be unpunished."
lf. Be subject to the higher powers.
"Render to Caesar tbe things that, are
Caesar's" (v. 17.) A true Christian takes
pains to be just and conscientious to
every legal obligation. Love never makes
false returns concerning personal prop-
erty to evade the tax. Love pays its
dues. A little English boy about nine
years of age, who went to Sunday school,
one day requested his mother not to al-
low his brother to bring home anything
which was smuggled when he ' went to
sea. "Why not?" asked the mother.
"My cathechism says it is wrong." The
mother answered, "That is only the word
of a man." "Mother,' said the child, "is
it the word of a num which said, 'Render
to Caesar the things that are Caesar's?'"
Tbis reply silenced the mother, but the
father stilt attempted to defend prac-
tise of smuggling. "Father," pleaded the
child, 'which is worse, to rob one or to
rob many?" Both parents were convinc-
ed and the practise of smuggling was dis-
continued. .
III. Learn lessons from the marriage
law. God's thought, in Ms own divine
institution of mini:tem, is only carried
out when a Christian man chooses a
Christian woman anti a Christian woman
gives berself to a Christian man. The
negative command concerning marriage
is, "Be ye not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers (II. Con vi. 14.) The
positvie command is, "Be married ..only
in the Lord" The Christian man who
marries an unsaved woman may wreck
bis life, and the Christian girl who mar
ries an unsaved. man may make a most
fatal mistake. One lady said to another,
"1 bave no heart to go. When Mr. F-1

Bulletin
sale101440atasaioheadeasiaanhlohanaeoaaa:o
The following information concerning
the present condition of .Agricuiture itt
the Prevince bee been blued by the On-
tario Department of Agriculture:
Fall Wheat -The unusually open win-
ter was most trying to fall wheat, but
tee crop picked up wonderfully hi the
spring, and improved steadily until mat-
ting, It Was harvested uuder lavorable
conditious, the strew standing up well,
and the weather being dry and bright.
The quality of the grain, as a rule, is
plump and well up to weight, and the
DOMINION GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
ASSAULTED.
They Went to Break Down Illegal Sal-
mon Barricades Erected by the
Babine River Indians -Request for
a Hundred Militiamen.
Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 3.- Babine
River Indians, whose haunts are near
Otto head waters of the ekeena River,

yield per acre is considerably over the
average. Very little rust was reported.
Spring Wheat -This variety of wheat
isthr stvematueerlin impafratvoorf, mute; e persbpveicni el!er Ain
gloeoivd yield was promised. Several cor-
respondents stated that "Wild Goose"
was i
gtlrloewonyly variety of epring wheat
Barley --A large yield of plump grain,
much of it discolored, but all of it good
for feeding to live stock (which is now
its chief use in Ontario), is the mud of
the barley crop of 1906.
Oats -This crop suffered ra irs then
any other from rain storms.s. Notwith-
standing these drawbacks, there will be
a comparativelylarge yield per acre.
Rye -Only a snatill acrisoe of rve is
now grown in Ontario for the grain.
afost of it is fed green, and in some
cases it is cut for hay. The °rep t: is
season has been a comparre ely Lett
one.
Peas-For about five or six yeera the
depredations of the pea weevil (armee n-
ay called the "bug") were vo great ti
in nearly every section of t he Prole nt.e
the acreage given to peas shrank to
alarmingly email proporel I is. latet oar,
however, the weevil gave bat little trou-
ble to pea growers, and Oho season the
pest is mualy mentiotod to remark its
absence.
Beans -The growing of beans as a
field crop is confined chiefly to Kent aud
aajoining counties, Thte crop was not
fully matured as correepentlents wrote,
but gave promise to more than an aver-
age yield per acre. •
Hay and Clover -Owing to the lack of
snow last -winter, pastures were much
exposed, and considerable -winter-killing
resulted, old fields suffering most. Tim-
othy came through muoh better than
clover, and made a much better growth
relatively during the summer. The yield
per acre is below the record of recent
yearsr
Co -As a Simcoe county correspond-
ent has tersely put it. "This has been a
corn summer.' All things point to a
large yield, both for husking and for
the silo, as the crop is reported to be
caring remarkably well.
Flax -The acreage of :flax is not no
large as in former years, but the general
tone of reports this season is eneourag-
ing.
Tobacco -Reports regarding tobacco
vary. The crop appears to bave had a
rather poor start, the white grub caus-
ing some loss early in the season.
Potatoes -Much difference of opinion
is expressed regarding the present con-
dition and the probable yield of pota-
toes. While there will be some good
yields in every section of the Province,
the presence of the blight will tend to
keep down the average, The Colorado
beete was out in force, as usual, but
while Paris green is used by every far-
mer against this pest, only a few of the
more progressice men spray with Bor-
deaux mixture for the blight .A few
correspondents speak of rot, but no
general complaint has been made.
Roots -The backward spring gave
roots a late start, and in many cases the
seed germinated poorly. The June rains,
however' gave the young .plants a new
lease oflife, and when correspondents
wrote, all classes of field roots were
looking more or less promising. Mange's
and sugar beets have done better than
turnips. The latter, however, have &ut-
tered but little from the turnip aphis, or
louse, which was so general last season.
Correspondents had but little to say of
carrots.
Fruit -Harvest and fall apples will
be plentiful, but standard winter vari-
eties like the Spy and Greening will be
rather scarce. The fruit, however, will
be a better sample than for years, being
much freer front spot. Plums have not
been P.0 light in yield for seevral sea-
sons; fit some districts there will be
hardlyany for sale. There will be a
good yield of peachee. Pears will not be
a full crop; the trees have also suffered
from blight in different localities. Cher-
ries have borne well, but black knot is
still complained of. In some of tate
Lake Erie counties. the Rose beetle did
much injury to grape vines early in the
season, but in the other parts of the
Province the yield of grapes is expected
to be a fair one. There was an overage
supply of berries, strawberries being the
least plentiful.
Pastures and Live Stock -Pastures
were in excellent condition up to the lat-
ter part of July, but were beginning to
show need of rani wheh correspondents
wrote early in August. Live stock gen•
erally are in good form, except that towti
have suffered much front the horn fly,
and bave coneequ.ently lost in milk in
many sections of the Province. No set,
ions eases of disease tonong live stock
are reported.
Bees and Honey -The season has been
a rather poor one for the apiary.
crument fishery officials, who broke
down the illegal minion barricades which
the Indiana erected across the streams.
'Lite authorities have become so alarm-
ed that they have wired asking for a
hundred militiamen to be sent north to
cope with the redskins. While the can-
uers on the ground are urgent in their
requests for help, they assert the In-
dians are encouraged because of the
uon-arrest of two redskin murdeders who
killed an English hunter and guide seine
tines ago.
Failure to capture the culprits makes
the Indians think the white man's power
is email. Ottawa has been communi-
cated with, but has made no move. Many
people here thing a mountain is being
made out of a mole hill.
The report that the New Zealand liner
Polito went ashore last night is denied

Scarcity of Public School Teachers in
This Province Has Become a Serious
Matter' --Teachers Must Be Better
P
Dr. Joan Beetle Superentendout of
Education, speaking of the: ectivcity
of school teechers, Said the chief ca.wie
it -as the insufficient finitude' induce-
ments offered to public school teachers,
maw of whom were not paid any higher
salaries then wise:Weil labor obtained
for work in cities, Consequently a good
many teachers bad gone to the wet,
whore batter ealeries were paid. The
average trustee of a rural school section
was not, willing to pay a salary tom-
meneurate evith the qualifleatione and
abilities of the twitter, but the rarest
change in the law weitid have bite effect
ultimately of bringing truoteee *of this
kind to a realization of the neeessilby el
payiag teachere suitable salaries. In
many rhea' sections in Ontario fairly
good salaries were paid, and in some sec-
rions the brusteees paid tbe tatethere
tnore than they could roally afford, bet
hi the majority of the rural school sec-
tions the tent:hers' pay was entirely in
, -
adequate. This was the case in wealthy
leuniapalities, when there was no ex -
use for it,
Owing to the seriousness of the eittra-
tion the department had decided. that if
competent tettehers could net be pro-
cured the best that coula be obtaine.I
would terve to be engaged. However, no
school board -would be allowed to employ
teachers not fully qualified 'lakes the
boara were paying salaries up to the
lirnits ef their ability. Dr. Smith was
trimmed to state that some high school
boards had advanced teachers' salaries
from 10 to 25 per cent. Other boards
take a sintilar course next year,

Globe Acquires Yonge Street Site From
Cawthra Estate.
Toronto despatch: The Globe Print-
ing Compeller has purchased from the
Cawthra estate, represented during the
negotiations by Mr. George A. Cast, real
estate expert, the land on which The
Globe building stands and two adjacent
properties. The land in question has a
frontage of 52 feet on Yonge street and
56 feet on Jordan street, and extends on
Melinda street from Yonge to Jordan
streets. The northerly 27 feet of this
is now occupied by tbe Globe, the present
buildings having been erected upon it to
replace those destroyed by fire in 1805.
The price paid for the land was
$175,000. The corner is one of the most
valuable on lower Yonge street and the
construction of the huge 'Traders' Bank
building on the opposite corner shows
that the concentration of business in
this quarter is still proceeding. The land
was held on a ten years' lease, renew-
able, seven years of which were still to
run,

please don't do that!" begged Pauline
