I, The Author of ereation. II. The source of life and, light. DI The medium of revelation. I. The author of creation, The doc- trine of the Trinity is a deep mystery. but it ite fundamental in Christianity. The records declare that divinity and humanity united in the person of Jesue. His acknowledged Messieship -is it recog- nition of the pre-existence of Christ, as well as of hie highest dignity. The Word was therefore in existence before time and before creation. The soundest, shortest argument for the being of God is Christ. The world is full of witnesses to the divine Word. Divine attributes are aseribea to him. Divine arorks were wrought by him. Divine worship was demanded by and paid. to him. John speaks of the divine Word, uttering the thought and will of God in the hearing of mankind; of the divine Life, quick- ening the world from spirittial death; of the divine Light, scattering human dorkness and bringing in the morning, of immorta lday. He writes as one who loves and venerates him of whom,. it is his office to inform his fellow -men. He has one great figure to portray, one groat name to exalt, one great heart to unfold, one Savior, who is the eternal God, He reiterates the eternity, the personality, •the oneness af the Word with God. nand Burning hightfula One Cake of Cuticura Soap and Box of Cuticura Ointment Cured, Lower Onslow, N. 8. -"At erst wo thought; my ciale's trouble wail lils teeth.

The source of life and light. The desire of a Saviour had attained ma- turity in the period of universal decline which preceded the advent. In Eden, man saw God face to face. Then follow- ed a long period, during which thelight shone on chosen men, places, institue tions. When the fulness of time came, the Christ, the life and ligiit of men, the word of promise, the substance of all shadows, types and prophecies, the medium of God's communications with the world, was made manifest. He came physically, personally and visibly to his own people, He came to human- ity generally, but through a particular nation. He was in the world as one of its inhabitants, under its laws and necessities, in human nature as the Word made flesh, the most wonderful fact in all history. He did not' gain one perfection more by becoming man, nor could he lose anything of what he possessed as God. The gracious nor- acter of Christ appears from the great design of his dispensation. The pur- pose of his coming was that all men might throngh him enjoy spiritual Illu- mination. Christ is no less the true light because they to whom he came did not acknowledge aim. He is the substantial, the eeeential, the original, 1 Do., ehmee :Fades, cwt.. 12 50 the permanent light, as opposed to the Do., medium, cwt.. .. 11 50 shadowy, derived, teausitory; the com- .

While advocating a policy of conserva- tism and eautiort, be expressed- the opin- ion that the commercial dwell -thou of Cartamla was fundaanentelly sound. In his discussion of the getteral situa- tion Mr. Meredith described the year 1913 as a memorable one. "In Great Bri- tain the -demands for money have been unusually heavy, with the result that the rates were higher than in other years. He.pointed. out thot there were many footers effecting the monetary sit- uation, the most notable being the Bal- kan War, the world-wide trade activ- ity, the rise in prices of commodities, ana the serious dietetrbances in France and Germany. Further, the de- mand for gold_ on the pa.rt of several countries, such as Egypt and India, add- ed to the acuteness of the monetary sit- uatiore Coupled with this was a con- siderable degree of social unrest in Great Britain. *Another disturbing 'factor was the Mexican situation. - In his review of the trade of Canada, Air. 'Meredith was most optanietk, point- ing out that the export trade is now stationary, indicating thereby that Can• ada is paying her bills by the expel:ta- lon of prOduee. • The aggregate foreign trade of Canada for the seven months ending October was M11,000,000, as against $500,000 '0 for the same period a year ago, while the same period the excess of importe 'et exports have been cut doevn from $190,000,000 to $145,000,- 000, Mr. Meredith eetimated the value of the field crops this year, at present prices, at $500,000,000. .IIe then toolc up each province by itself, showing the con- ditions prevailing in each, and summer. izing the trade outlook, closing with the following optimistic summary: "Business as a whole continuea good.

PROPER CARE OF MILK. te The New Mexico College of Agrical. ture says nearly all changes which occur in, milk or its produtte are due to the .action of bacteria. Bacteria are very small mieroscople sit -We -celled plants, which are found almost everywhere in nature. They are most abundant where there is dust and filth; and if subjected to favorable conditions, as warmth, food and moisture, multiply very rapidly, the lesulting progeny of one bacterium of- ten amounting to many million in 24 hours. Milk is an ideal medium in widen" bee teria can grow, and if it is kept wenn they develop very rapidly, feeding on the milk sugar and converting it into laetic acid. The. acid eauses the milk to become sour and eurdles or precipitates the cuml or casein. Buteria grow very slowly or not at all at low temperatures. Since all fresh- ly drawn milk contains bacteria, it is important that it should be cooled quick- ly to 40 or 50 degrees to prevent their development. Or if the milk is eeparat. ed, the ereem should be cooled if it is desired to keep it sweet. Milk in the eow's udder usually contains some bee- teria, but far the larger number. get in- to the milk through dust in the stable, hairs from the cows, an unclean milker, perticles of manure that may fall intc the milk or unclean utensils. To limit the number of bacteria, which get into the milk the cows should be milked in a clean, well -lighted and well -ventilated stable. The cows should be well groom- ed and their flanks and udder dampened before they aro milked. The milker should wear a dean suit and have clean hands. The teats should never be wet while milking. Ta avoid • dust in the stable it es well to sprinkle the floor lightly and feed no hay until after the cows are milked. The milk should be removed from the stable ae quickly as possible to the milk room. This should be light and airy and entirely separate from the stable. If the gravity method of separating the cream le used, the milk should be cooled quickly to 40 to 50 degrees Fehr. There are three different forms of the grav- ity system: The "shallow pans or creek," the "deep setting' 'and the "water dilu- tion." The last-mentioned is not worthy of discussion, as it is wasteful ane non - efficient. . Of the other two methods, the "deep setting" is the more satisfactory. It con- sists of a deep, narrow can, sometimes called a shotgun can, which is set in cold water. When the .cretem rises it ran be .removed with a ladle or dipper. The cream rises in it mere quickly and more thoroughly than in the "shallow pan" system, which eonsists of putting milk into pans or crocks. For a person keeping five or more cows, It is 5c:enemy tO OWR a hand sep- arator. According to the Purdue Ex- periment Station, by using a cream sep- arator there is a saying of $3.50 to $7 per cow per year over the gravity sys- tem. Besides a more thorough skim- ming, the centrifugal separator pro - dimes a better quality of creaw and it more satisfactory thickness, removes many bacteria and other impurities, and produces a skim milk in good condition for feeding. If a separator is used, the milk should be separated while. still warm, as the separator has its greatest efficiency if the milk has a temperature of 90 to 95 degrees Fahr. If the cream ,s to be held foe several days before churniag, it 'should be kept in can with a clean eloth tied over the top to t th daet It should not be bits will be ehown.
