The Americsan immigrant, who is
nearly always a farmer, is given the
cpe crtunity of .seeax.ing, at a much
lower price, a more substantial aere-
age than he has been accustnned to;
he can expand his holdings without
limitation, which extension is preclud-
ed when hemmed in with high pricee
lands. The eoon is even -greater in
tbe case of the Bret imenigrant, to
whom the possibility of ever owning

In the marketing of his produce.
Whilet, for instance, wheat prices at
the Canadian markets are frequently
as high as on the American markets,
the farmer in the Prairie Provinces is
alle to get his crop to the marketing
points or ship it to the lake terminals
at a much lower rate than that paidl
by his farming brother to the south.
There is another decided advantage;
to Canadian farming often overlooked.1

Another prophet who was mission-

the book of Jonah. So much so that
Cornill in 'The Prophets of Israel says
that this is one of the grandest and
deepest books ever written in spite of
its apparent triviality. Jonah is cha-
grined because Nineveh had not been
destroyed according to his prophet4e
word. He notes not that Nineveh has
repented and that God has forgiven
and spared. In Jonah 4: 10, 11, the
narrow sectarian is rebuked and the
wideness of God's mercy, -wide
enough to take in Gentiles and their
cattel,-is vindicated. He is God, of
Gentile, as well as Jew.
In Micah 4: 1-3 we have a glorioue
vision of the latter days. The best is

The next time-saver I got hold of
was avoiding the accumulation of
mail, papers and so forth. By form-
ing a habit of looking over and dis-
posing immediately of all not to be
kept for reference or passing on, I
eliminated the trouble of a second in-
spection, which would have been nec-
essary if the things had been laid
away and forgotten. Especially do I
