TRUMVIEULL (Editor of Tho Sunday school Times) Obedience to Law (Temperanc Lesson) Sunday, Sept. 19—Leviticus 26. Golden Text Do not drink wine nor stron drink, thou, no thy sons with the (Lev. 19: 9). The man under authority is th strongest man in the world. Th lawless man is the weakest Th law-abiding man is the only one wh knows the meaning of freedom; th lawless man lives in habitual slay ery. It is well for us to keep thes fundamental facts in mind if w would avoid weakness and bondage If ever in the history of the wort people needed to be reminded o them, it is now. Temperance is only another word for sel-control. Not only temper- ance in the matter of intoxicating drinks, but temperance also in the whole realm of living, is self-control Real heart temperance, heart self- control, is supernatural, and only God can bring it to pass in a human life. Therefore we read in Hi Word that "th.) fruit of the Spirit i temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23), and the Revised Version reads, "The fruit at the Spirit is self-control." All law, even human law, rests inti mately on the authority of God and His law. The lesson chapter tells of the promises God made to Israel conditioned to their keeping His law, and the punishments and sufferings that He promised would follow their breaking of His law. Today although as Christians we are living in the age of grace and are not bound by the ceremonial laws that God laid up- on Israel before Christ came, never- theless, we are equally under obliga- tion to keep God's laws as set forth fn the New Testament, and we are under obligation to keep the laws of the Government under which we live, The best Christian is the best citizen. For Paul wrote by inspiration, "Let every soul be subject unto the, high- er powers"—using this term for hu- man rulers, as the context shows. "For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of. God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God." (Rom. 13; 1-2), Israel was told that if she kept God's commandments He would give her great temporal, earthly teles.. -ting is the land that He had given her — that strategic territory at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Ob- edience to law was to mean, for Israel, the needed rain for flourishing erops, sowing and reaping success- fully, plenty to eat, peaceful homes and no oppression by invading na- tions, victory in war, health and hap- piness. We must remember, as we study such Old Testament passages, that God's promises to Israel under the old dispensation were quite different from His promises to the Church in the present dispensation of grace. We tend no such promises to the Church in the New Testament, but, rather,, assurances of persecution ani tem- poral suffering as a result of faith- fulness to God. Israel's blessings in - eluded distinctly earthly and tem- poral prosperity, while the Church's blessings are spiritual and heavenly. Yet Israel, as well as the Church, was promised spiritual blessing ns t\' heart of it a 11, for God says that the /r e crowning result of Israel's keeping. Hie commandments is that "f will walk among you, and will be your :.God, and ye hall be My people." Fellowship with God, with all the g strength a nd joy and freedom that e. this' means, ie the result of law -keep- ' ing, for both the Old Testament e Israelite and the New Testament o Christian. "I have broken the 1 ands e of your yoke,'and made you go up - o right," says God to Israel. e Satan's great work is to deceive - Wren into supposing that their rejee- e tion of law will make then strong e and happy ata! free. The Great Com- . mission Player League of Chicago, d commenting on the: terrible spirit of f lawlessness that is seen everywhere in society today, asks the question: "Is this the age of "that Lawless One'"" referring to II Thessalonians, 2:8. A New York preacher is quot- ed as follows: "One of our most ven- erated and far-seeing citizens recent- ly remarked that in his eighty years of active life, associated with some of the most stirring events in the s Commonwealth, he had never seen s such an orgy of lawlessness as that through which we are living now." This preacher then goes on to say that, as he began thinking ,bout the matter, he "made some interesting discoveries, namely, that I could not recall ever having preached r gonion or obedience; that I could not recall ever having heard a sermon on obed- ience; that when I searched volume after volume of modern addresses and sermons I did not run on any that dealt with respect for encu obed- ience to authority, Ther•.? were plenty on freedom, on the emancipa- tion of the individual, on the out- growing of old restraints, but few, if and, upon the necessity and ;glory of being mastered by what t ightfully masters us." As God promi-ee overwhelming blessings to Israel for keeping His law, so He promises terrible punish• ments for breaking His law, These should be carefully read, in the les - 5011 chapter. The promise i pun- ishments justify the Great Commis- sion Player League in iits concluding word, "Lawlessness is Hell." Only the Spirit -tilled Chi•tsrtan car, know the joy, the strength and the freedom of keeping God's law. And ire rejoices in the word, "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit" (F.ph. 5: )%. EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES. While everhetu•ing ctrawberrioe can hardly be considered a commer- cial 010p for general us., yet such advances have been made with the introduction of newer vmvoties, that they are worth a trial in many plac- es. The fall yi+'ld from the varieties is notch lower than from the June. sorts. This neressitatee a higher price if the returns per acre, are to be comparable. Sone of the best varieties have, at the. Central Expert- mental Farm, yielded at the rate. of 2000 to 2800 boxes per Imre, the first fall, and then have give* a June, crop the following season at the, rate of 4000 to 5000 cox,', with a second fall trop about equal to the first. To obtain the hest- re alts fall planting seems to be :i lri:,able. Py Planting in Septemeer, the plants become well tstabli,li d, and are thus in a position to form a large num, 11.11. of runner's for the next fall's crop. As most varieties of ever - bearers are not rapid runner grow- ers, plant them not more than one font apart in the rows, and if the first fall crop is to a feature stagger them and put in a double row one foot apart, leaving three and at half feet between centres of double rows. In this way n very litter not deer of young plants can be e:tthl ;had by the next autumn. Failing this, very early spring planting of well matured and early plants is ne0e5- eery, As the fruit buds of these fall bearers are formed shortly after the young plants root, an application of a nitrogenous fertilizer, sometime in July, has been found eery help1u1 in promoting. prodtictivcuees in the fall. It is advisable of course to keep the blooms picked oil during the first year until the first of July. After that, however, they- should be per- mitted to fruit at will. We have not been able to obtain result,: from the ,removal of the bloom the s^100(1 spring. At this time, blos:nm remov- al is really impracticable m r cticable ow' „ to the heayy expense involved andthe loss of a good June crop. Of the varieties to be recommend- ed, only two have really been treed at: this Station, viz., Champion and Duluth. These are both improve- ments over Progressive and Superb under our conditions. The two oth- er much advertised varieties, Masto- don and Rockhill, have not fruited here as yet, but the writer bac seen the Rockhill in other places where it appeared to bre the most promising fall bearing sort yet introduced. Canadians must remember that our fells are not as lone ,as further south, which means that finny green berries are frozen on the vines. This necessitates a considerable discount from the fall yields reported from other quarters. ON THE FLYING OF KITES AS A PASTIME On a clear day, when a gentle breeze was blowing, it was a ram mon occurrence to find boys sitting on, the slope of a hill flying their kite_, sometimes quietly ane some- times Working up to a pitch of ex- citement equaled only on the base- ball or the football field. It was a pleasing sight. It had all the ele- ments of an attractive open-air sport and caused grown-ups who chanced to be passing to hesitate in .heir step and watch the kites soar skyward. It. made little difference whether the kite was diagonal or triangula• Sn shape, whether it was made of new pink paper or the castaways of an evening edition. What counted was that it rose to the least wind, and maintained its course to the end of the string. What a picture it made against the clouds! What a grateful poise:! What a silent yet eloquent messen- ger, establishing commun1cation be- tween earth and sky! What signi- ficance in the tug of the string on the hand, as the yite rose and fell lightly 011 the breath of the wind! How re- luctant the flier to coil the string, and how careful to see, after a tri- umphant flight, that the kite should clear the treetops and not become en- tangled in the branches! Kite flying has a thrill that geeps the memory green. It was such a thrill that Dee id Copperfield got when he went with the unforgettable Mr. Dick to fly the big kite which had pasted oh it scraps of the famous memorial out of which it was so difficult to keep the kcal of King Charles I. To David the thoughts of Mr. Dick seemed to soar with the kt e, and how many boys' thoughts have risen un- der similar circumstances? Few are 'unfamiliar with Benjamin Franklin's exploits with a kite on a lake, the assistance it rendered him in pulling him across the surface of the water when he did not care to swim; or the other great use to which he put it when he drew electricity from the clouds, Since then it has been a constant use, in meteorological work es well ars in other branches of acti- vity, and not the least appealing was the use made of it by the steeplejack in preparing for the work of repair- ing a chimney. - Had the thoughts of a kite only come to the men who watched a briek layer build a chimney so high that he ;meld not come down by hie own efforts, a good story might have been Met; for it was the resourcefulness of his wife in telling him to unwind the wool in his stocking and drop that down so that a string might reach him, and later a rope, which. brought about his rescue, and gave him a place in the schoolbooks of a generation ago. So divergent and numerates are the uses of a kite, and so far into the remote and distant Peet does its history reach, that it would be well -night, if not quite im- possible to record them. The days -of kite flying as a aport L, Whaling operations off the coag of British Columbia this year ]raw been very successful, and to the end of July the fleet had caught 182 whales, There are only six steamers operating this year, while last year the number was eight, The weather has been good to date and very little fog has been enc countered. _ _ _ Fire chiefs representing the sta- tions in Montreal and various near- by centres left over the Canadian I Pacific lines about twenty strong for Windsor recently to attend tho annual convention of the Dominion Association of Fire Chiefs, which was held August 24th to 2?th. The Association is made up of over 260 chiefs from all parts of the Do- minion. Here and There The Car Owner's Scrap -Book t (By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench) e Nearly 2,000 racing pigeons, own- ed by pigeon racing devotees in Montreal, were shipped through the Canadian Pacific Express yards at Montreal recently to various points in Quebec and Ontario where they were released by the agents at the pointsto which they were shipped to fly hack to their home roosts in Montreal. Practice races of this nature have been carried on through the summer months, Thomas Meighan arrived in Win- nipeg recently from Chicago prior to beginning work on his next pic- ture, "The Canadian". The wheat fields of the Canadian West will be the background for this picture. The location men and other mem- bers of the troupe passed through Montreal earlier on their way to the west where they were joined by Thomas Meighan, and they are look- ing over the Calgary district for a suitable location. Announcement was made at the headquarters of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway at Toronto recently that, effective September 1st, Robert Niven, theatrical and special business clerk in the passenger de- partment of the Company at Mont- real, has been appointed assistant district passenger agent at Toronto. Mr. Niven is well known to the theatrical fraternity passing through Montreal with whom he came in contact in his business. "I am convinced that Canada offers unlimited possibilities to immigrants from the Old Country," said the Marquis of Salisbury, Chairman of the Empire's Parlia- mentary Association and leader of the Conservatives in the British House of Lords, when interviewed at Vancouver recently. His Lordship sailed recently from Vancouver to Australia to attend the Empire Parliamentary Associa- tion Conference in that Dominion this fall. The first automatic or "remote" control power plant on the North American continent is to be built at the Slave Lake side of the tunnel connecting that body of water with Alouette Lake, The contract has been let by the British Columbia Electric Railway to a Vancouver construction company at a price of $500,000. The total cost of con- structing'a dam across the Alouette River, building a tunnel connecting the lake with Slave Lake and erect- ing a new power house will be ap- proximately $2,800,000, Over 50,000 railway cars whicb if placed end to end would stretch more than 400 miles are now avail- able on the western lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway to handle the fall traffic in grain and live stock, The combined capacity of the 41,310 box cars for the grain crop which will be transported to the head of the lakes, is 670,040 tons. There are capable of carryirg 00,:;30,000 bushels of grain cash trip. ;Estimating that the cars make five trips between the grain fields and the head of the lakes or Vancouver the Canadian Paeille Railway Company is in a position to handle more than 300,000,000 bushels during the four months of the grain rush. seem to be diminishing, Shops which once carried a full stock have relegat- ed kites to dust•, corners. Thorn is little room nowadays for the semi circular top, the diagonal =end the box -shaped kites of the "elite." More complicated diversions are taking their. place, But if other sports are supplanting kite flying, there arc still happy memories of the ,pastime cherished by men who were boys at generation ago.

Getting ,Away "Smoothly" The proper way to xtart a car le to shift to low, give the engine a little gas, and then, while observing the car, let the clutch in very slowly until the ear just begins to move, then the clutch must be held, the "let. tial:- in" stopping altogether, until the car has moved a few feet. Then, and while the car is in motion, t he clutch can slowly be let in the lest of the way. It is this stopping of the rais- ing the clutch pedal, or " holditf th0 clutch," which is the secret of a smooth start. REMOVING BROKEN STUDS If a stud is broken en e sm•ewhole only a thin lubricant, such as para- ffin and light engine oil mixed. In a few hours the lubricant will soak to the bottom and make removal. easy. If from this stage a hole about half the diameter of the stud is drilled with a flat drill, with the cut rever- sed, er "left-handed," the vibration usually will loosen the thread and the drill will turn thel stud instead of cutting its way into the metal, - To Reduce "Gas" Bill To get more miles from each gal- lon of gasoline, every driver should be sure that the timing is 100 per cent. correct on the car and the car- buretor is set for a lean mixture, so that the engine will operate efficient- ly after it becomes warmed up. The danger here, however, is one the` must be carefully watched. It would be futile to set the carburetor so lean that considerable driving would have to be done with the choke extended, for if the choke is pulled out often rad much driving is done, the lubri- cnnt will be diluted Brom the excess gasoline which flows into each cylin- der and runs past the rings. After being certain that timing and car- buretor are set correctly, be sure that the car is thor'oughte lubricated be that it may roll freely on a level street. Spaugs When replacinrkg•Plthe spark plugs in the engine, use the type sperillecl for it.

Use the Hotn Wisely No car should be without a horn. it es absolutely necessary when driv- ing at corners and in emergencies. The horn is especially helpful at cross roads. But de,vcrs should not toot continuously. The. best thing to do is to signal once or twice, then to refrain, and to listen we ,hee thrt•e is any response from any other direc- tion.

N me Famous in Business History Is Merged With That of Great "There is much of el Canadian busi- ness history hid- den behind the recently announc- ed fact that the Dominion Express Company has changed its name to "Canadian Pacific Express Co." During almost half a century of service to Canada w,s.stour and the Canadian. President iof tpheeopoleildtheconmpaenoyt, Puctit Express Co. mhis hada hard upahill fight in those early has come to be a household word days. It is interesting to know that across the country, and it would be the president of a large express com- a regrettable fact that this old name pany in the United States turned should pass were it not for the fart down an opportunity to place his that the institution it represents service on the Canadian Pacific assumes a name even more closely because, in hie opinion, the railway identified with Canadian history and would shortly go under the auction.. more widely representative abroad eer's hammer' of the varied activities of Canadian life. The new express company had not only to move traffic but to help create it. In those days the management was a free agent in naming rates. At that time, it was possible to and the company did make low rates to en- courage the farmer,' the fruit grower and the fisherman without great regard for the cost or the profit of the moment. It was also free from the necessity of extending unprofitable rates to others not requiring them, and had power to withdraw unpro- fitable rates when they had served the world, and the Dominion Express had established a name. in financial and transportation circles that was universally honored. The change was made, Mr. Stout said, in the hope that in other countries where the name and services of the Canadian Pacific are better known and more extensively advertised and where, to a, very large extent, the credit of Canada is one with that of the parent transportation system such good -will as 18 held by the rail and steamship company will reflect to the advantage of the express com- pany. When ie:rt -four ,years ago W. C, Van Horne, later Sir William, then vice-pre,kett of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway, desired to place the express service on the company's lines in the hands of a regular express company, the Dominion Express Company whieh had been incorporated to 1871,• was formed with W. S. Stout, et very young expressman as Superintendent. His job was to give service over Canadian Pacific lines, extending front Rat Portage, now I0enora in the east of Oak Lake in the west, a dis- tance of 445 miles and ho was able to carry on with a horse and second- hand wagon and seven agencies. When the same Mr. Stout, who has for many years been president, announc- ed the change of name a few days ago, that one horse and wagon and seven agencies had increased to over 4700 agencies scat- tered all over Can- ada and to the far e0rner8 of the earth while fleets of motor vehicles bearing the name of the com- pany plied the streets of all the principal eitfes of ailway First general offices of the Dominion Express'. Co. Winnipeg 1882: the purpose f or which they were made. In 1884 operations were extended from Rat Portage to Port Arthur and a traffic route formed• using steamers between Owen Sound and Prince Arthur's Landing as Port Arthur was then called. This arrangement con- tinued until the eastern and western , lines of the company were joined on the north shore of Lake Superior. To develop traffic in advance of the laying of Canadian Pacific rails, the express company went ahead by means of Wagon stage routes some of which served the public for a number of years. Shippers will recall the Ayr - Paris and Brant- ford route which was opehed in 1892 and continued as a stage route until 1908. Other, stage routes in the east continued for twenty-five years and the same thing took place in the west where very frequently lake and river steamers tools the place of the stage, It was in 1896 that the com- pany fleet engaged in the money order business which has developed into a large part of its. 0• activities• 't'he pt8lsnt (genera offices of the company at 'brant 1;,
