His Eig.N.ency has been pleased to accept this advice: ,.

"In the interval, until Parliament assembles, it is the intention of the Government to refrain from making appointments beyond such as are es- sential for the proper carrying on of the public business. • "In the present situation there are three possible courses of procedure, each of which has been carefully con- sidered by the Cabinet: "1. That his Excellency be asked to grant an immediate, dissolution of Parliament; "2. That his Excellency be asked to call upon the leader of the Largest political group to form aGovern- ment. "3.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Maintenance of Sheep. Investigational work with sheer, conducted by the Department of Ani- mal Husbandry at the Ontario Agri- cuitur•al College, gave for coat of Maintenance of the farm flock the fol- lowing figures; Winter enol lambs. $4.49 each; winter breeding ewes, ;5,50 each. Investigational work in fattening lambs was continued, and the results showed for last year that it would have paid better- to market the lambs In the autumn than to finish them in the pens, the lambs all allowing a loss when strict account of feed was kept, Maintenance of Swine. In investigational work with swine it was found that in wintering brood sows on- a narrow, nutritive ratio produced largely from concentrated feeds, the cost was fifteen cents per day for mature sows, whereas with 'groups using more roughage the cost was reduced to eight and nine cents per day. An extensive experiment with com- mercial hog feeds versus home-grown (cede showed that under average farm conditions none of the commer- cial hog feeds used was as economical as a well-balanced mixture produced on the fart. Maintenance of Beef Cattle. Coat investigations conducted with beef cattle gave the following inter- esting figures: The average cost of feeding breeding beef cows in the College herd was 15.9 cents per day. The cost of labor per cow per day was 7 cents. The value of the manure per cow per day was 5,8 cents, and the cost of bedding per cow per day was 1.9 cents. The total feed and labor cost per cow per year, atter deducting the value of manure, was ;69.35. The average weight of beet calves born during the year 1922 was 77.33 pounds, Cost of llfaintennnce of Hord Sire. In the cost of mainteance investi- gations conducted with the herd sires, the following figures were obtained: For the. Shorthorn herd sire, $129.60 Per year was required; for the Here- ford, $101.76; for the Angus, $107,88; and for the Jersey, $86.26• The bulls were of different ages and of different weights, so no breed com- parison can be drawn. The figures indicate that it really costs something to maintain a herd sire, and that the man who maintains such an animal for the use of various cow owners Is entitled to a larger fee than be us- ually demands. Cost of Maintenance of Dairy Cattle. The cost of maintenance for dry cows and heifers was shown to be $8,60 per month.

"With respect to the leader of the political party having the largest definite following in the House. of Commons being celled upon to form an Administration, the Cabinet holds the view that responsible self-govern- ment in Canada rests upon the prin- ciple that the majority are entitled to govern, the majority so understood meaning, not the political party or group having the largest number of members, but the majority as deter- mined by the duly elected represent- atives of the people in Parliament.

They said Sunday, Nov. i5. that he was teaching aginst the Jews, Acts 21:17:30. ; and against the law of Moses, and against the temple, which they said Golden Text, he had polluted; all of which was If a man suffer as a Christian, let false.

At Tyre certain Christian disciples, with whom Paul stayed for a week, "said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem" (Acts, 21:4). This expression can hardly mean anything but that the Holy Spirit was speaking to Paul, through these fellow -Christians, ask- ing him to keep away from Jeru- salem. Earlier it had been made known to Paul, by the Holy Spirit,. that bonds and afflictions awaited the result, and the murder of Paul was imminent; (21: 80, 31.) If we live true to Christ, the deadly hatred of the powers of evil will be hurled against us. 3. Military authority interferes, and Paul is officially rescued by the Roman Government. (21: 81-40.) "There is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." (Rom. 18: 1); and God often uses human Governments, even ungodly him in that city (20:23). and at Governments, to protect Hie own Caesarea a prophet predicted that children.

In the Jews own Hebrew tongue, and delivered to the Gentiles. : compelling their interest and respect, It is true that merely the certainty Paul tells the story of his super- natural conversion (every conversion of the persecution was not sufficient is supernatural), and shows forth the reason for keeping away; but if Acts unspeakably great patience, love, 21:4 records a definite prohibition in forgiveness and redemptive power of from God, then Paul was mistaken in Jess Christ, (22: 1-16.) We are al- ilressing on, ways to testify of Christ in language a He also seems to have fallen into that our fellow -men can understand; error by taking a Jewish vow upon land every true Gospel testimony himself, involving a Jewish sacrifice shows, as did Paul's. that "where sin (21:20-26), when his -great and God- aboundeth grace did much more ordained mission was to declare to abound."

However, if Paul indeed mistook ,Paul faithfully declares that Jesus God's guidance, or for some mire-Paul him that the Jerusalem Jews corded reason set his own will overt would not receive His testimony eon - against God's will, his self-sacrifice corning the Lord, and he would have. and devotion to the Lord shine out to be sent unto the Gentiles, A Goss undimmed in this narrative. To those pal testimony, either directily or it - directly, necessarily convicts sinners of their sins. 6. Convicted sinners respond in one of two ways: either they resent it and rebel, or they cry to God for mercy. Paul's hearers were filled again with murderous hatred, and .demanded his death. (22; 22, 23.) 7. Again the Raman Government intervenes in Paul's behalf. As he is about to be scourged and examined, who would deter hon from going to Jerusalem, he cried out, "I am randy not to he bound only, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus" (v. 18). And God did not turn aside from Paul even if Paul slipped up. "If we believe not, yet Ho abideth faithful: Ifo cannot deny Himself." (II. Tim, 2:13), The Jews, in general, could not stand the Gospel ---or rather, would not.

Prior to sailiug on the Canadian Pacific liner, Montclare, from Montreal, he expressed the hope that he would be able to cows to Canada again next spring so that be could give Canadians in the West some idea of what the Imperial Commission is doing in caring for the graves of western youths who perished dur- ing the war. Robert L. Rice, Jr„ itf neaten, and J, Y. Cale, of Ifarvard, tont big chances when they attempted to travel by canoe from Rouyn to An- gliers at the end of Octeb,r. Al- though they started in beautiful In- dian summer weather they ran within a few hours into a bad storm which filled their canoe with half melted snow and almost froze them into unconsciousness. Fortunately they arrived in the nick of time at a fire -ranger's hut where they stayed a few days until the storm abated. They were prospecting in the neighborhood and were none the worse for their perilous trip when. they finally reached Montreal. Bob Shawkey, New York Yankee veteran pitcher, who organized the party of major league baseball play- ers now hunting big game in New Brunswick, shot a moose with antlers spreading 56 inches and having 28 points, according to word received at Fredericton, N.B. Shawkey shot his moose the first day the party spent in the woods. This informa- tion is conveyed by another party of hunters who passed the camp of the ballplayers at Nepisiqui Lakes. In the group are some of the best known players in the American League, Eddie Collins, Babe Ruth and Muddy Ruel being among them. The romance of a world cruise culminated in New York City re- cently when Dorothy Holmes O'Ryan, daughter of Major-General and Mrs. John F. O'Ryan, of New York, married Darwin Curtis, of Chicago. The couple met for the first time a year ago on board the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of France which was then making a tour of the world. It is feared they had no eyes for the world marvels which were unrolled before them on the tour, since it is stated they fell in love at first sight and could only see each other. The marriagewas performed by the Rev. Father Fran- cis P. Duffy, chaplain of the "Fight- ing Sixty-ninth," a regiment com- manded by the bride's father during the war. Good reading for Canadian Paci- fic share7tolders is furnished in the September statement of gross earn- ings, working expenses and net profits. It has been the most fa- vorable month for the company in a long time. The gross earnings were $18,909,071, the greatest shown in any month since October, 1924. Operating expenses were $12,641,- 462 and the difference between the two, the net profits $6,267,619, an Increase of $1,719,978 over the cor- responding month of last year. Net earnings for the first three quar- ters of this year, ending Septem- ber 80th, is $1,190,039 greater than the 1924.figures, despite a decrease fn gross earnings of over four and a half million dollars, This was made possible by the company's policy of rigid economy.
