The word ot God is adapted to the needs of every- da.y life. It has a definite bearing upon ; the daily life. The Levitical law is eine 1 nently practical. It adjusted the rela- tions of man with God, of man wit; I man; it legislated about the treatment of the animal world and the use of the land. There is no question of practice,' living which cannot be solved by the word of God if the heart is honest and dares to accept its conditions. Abbie 0.

CionStantinOple, Nov. 27. -The Sultan to -day issued an irade approving the decision of the Council of Ministers to reject the demands of the powers for International control of the finances of Macedonia. Whether the rejection is absolute or conditional has not yet been definitely ascertained. Vice Jedmiral Husni Pasha has started on a special steamer for the Dardanelles presumably with instruetion,s for the commander of the forts regarding the the latter's conduct in the event of tite appearance of the international fleet. Similar instructions have been semt to the governors of the Turkish islands in the Archipelago. The answer of the Porte as a whole is entirely unsatisfactory, as it does not respond to the demand for the exten- sion of the authority of the financial agents of the powers for two years, and is evasive upon the question of the gen- eral control by the powers of the finan- cial affairs of Macedonia. All the Min- isters except the Minister of War fav- ored yielding to the ultimatum, but pal- ace influences led the Sultan to over rule the favorable attitude of the Porte. These influences are eoneidered to be the outgrowth of Germarteas abstaining from taking an active part in the naval demonstration,. • The Tarkish reply gives a seriotts turn to the negotiations.

Toronto, Nov. 27.-A quarrel begun ou Benning's race track at Washington over a year ago had a fatal ending at the Woodbine last evening. Fred Miller, bet- ter known as "Dutchy," an attendant at the Seagramstable, is dead, and Alex- ander Carter, an employee of Alexander Mackenzie's Kirkfiedl stable, is under ar- rest, charged with murder. Miller was shot in the left breast. Carter declares the shooting was done with the victim's own revolver, which, he says, was accie rising of Mussubrians against the Chris- tian population of Turkey. This is cone sid.ered to be ct threat as it is known that no demonstration of Mussulmans against Christians can. occur unless it has the si- lent accpriescence of the Turkish euthor- Ries. Ten Warships are Assembled. London, Nov. 27. -The combined fleet of the powers, now assembling at Pi- raeus, eonsists of six large and four small vessels, commanded by Admiral Ritter Von Jedina, of the Austrian navy. Great Britain is represented by the armored cruiser Lancaster and the seoutship Sentinel; Austriht by the ar- mored cruised. St. George and the tor- pedo cruiser Szigetvar; Italy by the armored cruiser Guiseppe Garibaldi and the torpedo-boat destroyer Ostro, and France by a cruiser and a gun- boat. Seize the Custom Houses. London, Nov, 27. -The powers are said to have agreed as the first part of their proceedure, on the seizure of the harbors end custom houses of the Island of My- tilene,the Island of Lemnos, in the northern. part of the Aegean Sea, and the Island of Tenedos, on the west coast of Asia Minor. The faet that the session of the Conn. eil of Ministers at 101441 the proposals of the powers were rejected Was a stormy one, and that all the Ministers except the Miuister of 1Var favored yielding to the eltimatum, leads to the belief that the Sultan will yield at the feet show of determination on the part of the powete, after satisfying his people that he is yielding to superior force, This is said to be the view of Count.

The Wingham Advance Important Convention to be OM in Ottawa Shortly, A Forestry convention is to be lield 141 Ottawa on the 10th. Iltii allsi 12.1h of January, ION, to consider the subject of the forests and their relation to the industries of the Dominion, and discuss means for their preservation and repro. duction. The conVenti0/1 Oslo meet 00 JIM call of Sir Wilfrid. Laurier, the Prelnier tit the Dominion, who will be President. It has also the strong SR» port of His Exeolleney the Governor- General and of Mr, R. L. Borden, the leader of the Opposition in the Dominion Parliament. an(1 will therefore be c.titor. oughly national in diameter. in order to appreciate the importance of this convention it is necessary to real. ize the position which Cianada. holds 01 relation to the world's timber supply. and It is well summed up in the foliolv• big paragraph 1 ront a recent writer: "in passing we may note the position of Europe oltIi regard to ivood supplies. The three great Industrial nations, (ler. Pranee and England, have long Ago ceased to 8e0000 their needed supply from home sources, and rely on imports to an extent of 15 per cent., 80 per cent. and 00 per cent. respectively, of their cOnsisinpt ion, The s-ealled. su rpl us eountries on which they draw are MIA- MI,' Sweden and Norway, Anstria, ano the small kilavoniall states, with Canada and the United Stiles lo a limited. ex- tent, With the exception of Russia, tile Slavonian states and Canada, these have undoubtedly overstepped the limit of that forest exploitation \rhea new growth is repining what is being eut. In the case of Sweden at least the dan- ger has been recognized and reetriettve legislation Inks been passed within the year. Russia undoubtedly has still large supplies., but the Siberian forest; area, apoording to all accounts, is not as prom- ising as it has been credited." From this statement and others that might be quoted it will be seen that Canada occupies a favorable position in the eyes of those who are looking tor future sup,plies of timber. The forests of the Dominion are of such great extent that it has become a 'natter of course to Canadians, and a possible end or even scarcity. of the supply has hardly been thought of. Germany was once, how- ever, as fully forest -clad as Canada, al- though she is now importing 15 per cent, • of her timber supplies. Germany is uow making every effort to replace the for- eStS 011 the poor lands from which they n ere stripped, and is -expending large sums every year to purchase lands to ie placed under forest, and to re-eskublish the forest in good condition. Tbe statetnent is sometimes made that even if the timber all disappears, there will be something else foend to take its place. This may be so. If wheat or corn should pass out of existence a substitute might be found, but the agricultural pop- ulation are too wise and too far sighted to kill the goose that lays the golden egg or to permit anybody or anything else to do so, e3ut as a matter of fact, the actual consumption of wood is in- creasing in spite of all the substitutes that are being found therefor. The chief statistician of manufacturers of the United States, commenting on the fig- ures of the last census, made the state- ment that 'the consumption of wood in the industries is increasing at a much more rapid rate 11111.11 the populate!), in spite of the fact that many articles are substited for wood." This is confirmed by the figures relating to wood con- sumption elsewhere, and there is no room for doubt that wood will be re- quired in the future in ever-increasing quantities. '.11tere is also another side to the ques- tion. If the forests .are cleared from the rocky or sandy lands, from the poor soils, the hills, the mountain slopes, to what use can these lands be put, and how will the governments replace the revenues derived therefrom? From such lands the greater part of our best timber is now being taken, and they cannot be put to profitable use tor any other pule pose. If tbey could, svh,y are Germany ana France, and other old world coun- tries, as well as several of the United States-, buying back such lands, whiclt have been left waste and abandoned, with tbe object of placing them again in forest? The pressure of populetion in Canada is not great, as it is in Ger. many, and there is ,co nc;ed to make useless efforts to colonize these lands. As forested lands they will be eseful and revenue prodecing. An effort to make them nnylhing else will result in their beieg left waste and valueless, There would neither be the population nor the means for pronueing the substi- tutes for wood. Another consideretion is the fact that the forested lands dominate the water powers. Their denedaton means the de, struction of sueli powers and the render, ing practically impossible the industrial development of the country, In Canada, water power and electricity lire to be the great forces of industrial development, and their permanency meet be provided for. The calling `of a forestry convention is therefore timely, and its deliberations tete conclusiotie Omuta' he of great value in determining the poliey of administra.
