The fact has been brought home to
bine that he canuot oppose his wilt

think that the only people in this

After reading, marking -and inward-
ly digesting the Pioneer for many
months, we are unable to decide
whether it is a Temperance Organ or
a Rowell Piano. It gives the Whitney
Administration no credit for law en-
forcement, advanced legislation or
anything else.

—What will the Senate do after
the Naval Bill pasties the Commons?
No doubt, the Senate would like to
throw it out; for partizanship is as
strong in the Senate as in the Com-
mons, but their leaders may have their
doubts as to the advisability of doing
this. They were not very fortunate
last year in the selection of the dame
bills which they threw out. It did
not do the Liberal party any good to
have the Senate throw out the Taaiff
Commission Bill, the Highways' Im-
provement Measure and the subsidy
to the T. & N. 0. Railway, and it will
do the Senate as well as the Liberal
Party infinite injury if the Navy Bill
is thrown.

Rev. 3 A. McDonald was in Ottawa
when the disgraceful row of March
15th took place in the Commons. He
took part in the deraonstration, and
then denied it in his paper. He was
in the gallery when the row of April
Oth took place, but he took no part in
the demonstration, remembering, no
doubt, the warning be had received
from the Deputy -Sergeant -At -Arms.
The peace advocate appears to be able
to make mischief wherever he goes,
but he is still called into council by
his party leaders in time of stress. Eid
gave them such valuable advice when
he steered them into reciprocity, that
his advice is valued. At any rate,
they get it whether tbey watt it or
not.

It has become a habit with Laurier
to talk of Canadian autonomy ae if it
were something which hadto be jest-
ouely gum cled from the attacks cf
those who would fain wrench it from
the Canadian people. rnder the
guise of "retaining our autonomy,"
Laurier is to.day blocking the first
real effort to help the mother land it
'netters of naval defence. The real
View of the case are that Laurier and
his followerhave no wish to conae to
the help of England, and autonomy is
being used as a cloak to hide the real
intent of these men who are willing
that Canada should go on receiving
the protection of England without do-
ing anything in return. That is a fine
healthly, manly policy.
* *
In striking contrast to Laurier's
actions is the firm. patriotic and states:
manlike conduct of Mr. Burdeo before
and since becoming Pti Me Minister.
Rather than adopt some naval policy
dictated by mere political Pxpendieney,
Ma Borden, upon assuming office, at
once proceeded to consult the British
Admiralty as to the best and most
effective manner, in which Canada
might assist the Britieh Navy; On
his return Mr. Borden at mice based
his temporary polity upon the facts
and couditions vvisich were revealed to
hine by the Lords of the Admiralty.
The information received WaR given,
not in a dittorial but entirely impartial
*,td friendly spirit. This manly and
dignified naetbod of deciding upon a
nolley has appealed strongly to all
loyal and patriotie Canadians, and is
the secret of the univereal approval of
tiorden'a present Naval Aid Bill.

WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1913,
THE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN,
By B,ev, Dr. Rutledge.
Wm. Penn exhorted his Quakers to
make it a part of their religion to eee
that their country was well governed.
Sometimes we think it would be well
if Onristian people heeded that ex-
hortation today more than they seem
inclined to do. Whenever an evil
exiete and threatens danger or ruin,
curtailing our rights, or destroying
soule, it is here, because as a people we
are willing thae it should be here.
For whenever the (Arad= people of
Canada say all together that a thing
must be, or must not be, there is not
power enough in the vvhole country to
alter the verdict. We have what we
want, We need only have what we
want. Whatever we have is here be-
cause we accept it with so much tran-
quility that our indifference is a virtu-
al demand.
Since euch things are so, is it not
worth while now and then to eit down
and consider the responsibilities and
duties that belong to us as Christian
Citizens?
In a Christian land such as this, it
might be said with truth that the
duties of the Citizen ate Christian
dutiee. As a matter of fact, all duties
are Christian duties. Whatever a man
ought to do at all, he owes it to God
to do. Religion claims the whole life.
It is a most mischievous delusion that
part of our life belongs to God, and
part of it to any other lord what-
soever. When 1 was a sneall boy 1
read the thrilling Missionary adven-
tures of Dr. Livingstone, and 1 want-
ed to be a miesionary. About the
same time I also read the equally
tirr-
ing adventures of Captain Kidd, the
pirate, and then I wanted to be a
pirate. So for some time I was torn
between the conflicting desires to be a
missionary and to be a pirate; when
finally. I settled the matter to my own
satisfaction at least, by deciding to be
a naissionary on Sunday, and a pirate
the other days 6f the week. It was a
childish ignorance, to be sure; but
since then I have come to know a great
many people—grown up people too;
yes, and Christian people so called,
who settled somewhat similar pro-
blems in a similar way. How many
there are who speak and act as if they
belonged to God on Sunday in a sense
they do not belong to Him on Monday
—aa if they owed Him an allegiance
in the Church from which they are
free in the workshop, in the store, and
at the ballot box, Of course we know
that some things are becoming, on
Sunday which would be out of place
on Monday—that some things would
be right on Monday which would be
wrong on Sunday. We do not forget
that there• are duties pecaliar to the
place ot prayer, and other duties
peculiar to the place of labour. At
the same time it is true, and it cannot
be stated too strongly,,that he who is
truly a Christian ori one day, or in one
place, or in one relation, must be a
Christian on all days, in all places,
and in all relations. .1f any one doubts
the soundness of that view, it
would be easy to quote chapter and
verse for that is surely what St. Paul
meant when he said, "Whether you
eat or drink or whatsover you do, do
all to the glory of God, and 'whatso-
ever ye do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus," and
everywhere the Scriptures teach the
same doctrine.
What then are some of the respon-
sibilities and duties of Christian Citi-
zens? Speaking generally, the Bibledoc-
trine is ; acme duties as citizens are duties
to God. And I am free to say that
most of our social, civil, and political
troubles arise out of our forgetfulness
of that truth, We talk much about
"the voice of the people," but it might
be well to remember that it is the will
of God that gives law its authority
and its sanctions, and that the "voice
of the people" creates no obligation
except as it expresses the "voice of
God. One great part therefore 0
the Churchesbusiness is to secure a
"voice of the people" that faithfully
echoes the "voice of God." Out of
this principle grciws several weighty
truths.
For one thing, we must remember
that the Christian must recognize his
personal responsibility as a citizen.
This doctrine is of the utmost impor-
tance under a system of Government
such as ours. %Then almost every
man has the privilege of a vote, it is
necessary that we should realize our
responsibility as citizens of a country
where the votes of the people deter-
mine the most important questions
that affect our commuulty, or the
whole people. it may be a local ques-
tion, such as pure water, or a proper
system of drainage, or it may be a
matter affecting t he country at large.
In any case, each of us has a responsi-
bility which cannot be escaped, In EO

Nothing is more certain than that
*sales will exist—few things at more
desirable than that they shoold be

has right viewe and right bonvietions
on public qnestions will generally vote
with some party, but not because it is
the party, considered as such, but be4
cause it best interprets what, before
God, be believes to be the need and

A Good School,
We glean the following from the
repent of J. M. Field, 13.A., Ph. Di f

School. "The teachers are all qu inflect

experience. The general dieciplitie of

aod political history that would never
have been written. And the true
Christian. Citizen will not only vote,
he will vote on his own judgment and
conscience, as unto God. Such a man
win, as we say, "vote as he prays."
FIe will "mix his religion with his
politics," just as he does with his buy-
ing and selling. If it is asked, what is
meant by "vote as be praye," it might
be aoswered that it means at least
this Your Christian Citizen pram
"Thy Kingdom come, thy will be
done, as in heaven, so on earth."
Then, if his prayer is worth anything,
he will not go from his knees and vote
against his judgment and against his
conscience, No party exigencies can
justify him in doing so insincere a
thing, and, if he is a free inan, no
party discipline can compel him to do
it, It has been said that, in many
constituencies, purchasable votes hold
the balance of power, However that
may be, may it not be said, if the
Christian citizens of this country would
boldly assert their rights of conscience
in the exercise of their suffrage,
there would be enough conscientious
unpurchasable votes in every consti-
tuency to suttee no party to govern
the country that wae in any degree
urtfriendly to virtue and the best
interests of the people.
This is but one side of a many sided
subject. Christian Citiz,enship means
more than voting right. But for the
present this will suffice. There are
signs everywhere that Christian people
are waking up -that they begin to medi-
tate more and more upon their re-
sponeibilities and duties as Citizens.
When they are fully awake, they will
redeem our splendid courOry from
many of the ills that imperil its life
today.
ADJOURNED INQUEST,
The adjourned inquest in the case of
the little child Glen A, Turvey, who
was killed at the G. T. R. crossing on
the 2nd line of Morris last week was
held in the 0.0.F. Hall, Bluevale, on
Friday evening, Dr. J. P. Kennedy,
cerorter, presiding. After hearing the
evidence of the Conductor, Engineer,
Fireman and a number of other wit-
nesses, the jury brought in the fol-
lowing verdict—
"We your jury convened to enquire
into the cause of the death of Glen A.
Turvey, after personal observation of
the premises where the accident oc-
cured. and from the evidence at hand,
have arrived at the following verdict.
That Glen A. Turvey met his death
at lot No. 2Q in the Second concession
of the Township of Morris, County of
Huron and Province of Oatario by
being struck with the engine of G. T.
R. trahl No. 36 and that death was
purely acuidental and that the crew on
said train are exonerated from any
blame as they did all in their power
to avert the disaster, We find that
Mr. Turvey's crossing gate VMS seven-
teen inches from the ground to the
bottom rail, and that there was a hole
in the woven wire thirteen inches
wide and we believe that the R. R.
company were negligent in not having
this gate in a better state of repair."
The crown was represented by Mr.
D, Holmes, K. C. of Wingham, the
G. T. R. by Mr. D. F. McCraw of
Toronto.
The jury consisted of Thomas
Stewart, foreraan, W. J. Henderson,
Jas. Henderson, John Hall, Fred.

Mathers, W. Garniss, Lewis Jewitt,

To Mrs. W. K. Whaley :—
We, the members of Court Belgra,ve
No. 48, wish to extend to you our deep
sympathy in the loss you have sustained
in the recent death of your husband. For
many years he was well known to many
of us and enjoyed the esteem of all. In
eur court he was one of our most useful
members and for years be filled high and
responsible offices. He was ever ready to
help in any good work connected with the
order, spending himself freely in its wel-
fare. His genial manner made friends
with all and we feel not only, that as being
a useful member of our court, but, that
we have have personally sustained a great
hiss by this death. We will miss him from
the place for his presence has become so
familiar to us. To you we would express
our deep sorrow in the bereavement which
has come to you and our sincere sympathy
to you and your family in this time of
sorrow. We trust that in the days to
come that your pathway may be smooth-
ed by the hand of that Divine Providence
which shapes all lives and that the peace
and comfort of our Heavenly Father may
be ever with you. Signed on behalf of
the order—I. W. Kilpatrick, James Mc-
Callum.

Every line in a newspaper costs
something. If it is for an iticlividual
it should be paid far. It the merchant
were asked to contribute his wares to
oat) abundantly able to pay for them
he would refuse. The proprietor of a
newspaper must pay for the free ad-
vertising if the beneficiary does not
and it is one of the hardest things to
be learned by many that a newspaper
has space in its columns to rent. To
give away for anything leas than liv-
ing rates would be certainly as fatal
as for a landlord to furnish houses
free of rent.
