send-
iug out accounts. We appreciate
prompt payment. It encourages us
in our worlc, and we can stand a lot
of encouragement of this kind. Ex-
penses of publication today are high,
and conditions such as make it neces-
sary for us to insist on payment
strictly in. advance, or otherwise en-

and are striving to get every last one
in the paid in advance class. These
give us no trouble, no worry, occas-
ion no extra expense: They are our
favorities-and it fortunate we have
a lot of them, for the collection of
small amounts for arrearages on
subscription, from hundreds of sub-
scribers, scattered all over tbeDomin-
ion, would be a l3ear'tless task. So
please be sure you are in the favorite
class.

Apples'
No other 'leafy plant to me seems
friendly as ate tapple arta` 'Where its'
great arms are spread' abroad I love•
to lie upon the sod. I love .its ,trunk
and leaves and shoots, i. -love its bods
and flowers and fruits. I'd rather
pluck such ponies as these than those
that da,nglect from the trees in Homer's
old Hesperides. A. homely freckled,
big -eared kid, how often would T doff
my lid and stretch myself within the
shade same pasture, natural fruit had
made. If I' could" beat the bossies to it
I'd lie beneath and gaze up through it,
I'd' loaf and watch the white _clouds
float, each one a. cotton batting boat.
With grateful tongue I' sing the praise
of apples in those good old days. With
summer wind the leaves were rippled,
by summer suns" -the 'milts were stip-
pled. When I saw one that suited me,
I- threw a stick or shook the tree, but
every year .the first to redden were
those some lively worm had fed in
had crawled about and made a bed in.
How carefully I chewed 'round one
way until I almost reached his run-
way, 'and then, reversing, chewed an
back clear to the border of his track.
I know at . pressing time in fall we
drink sweet cider worms and all, but
other tunes I hate Iike sin' to bite in
where a worm has been, Yea, I am
' wrought. `up even more to find the
worm still in the boreand most par -
I ticularly blue whene'er. I bite him
square in two. Yet often now in city
streets, amid the dust and noise and
I heats,a vision rises in my soul, I see
a col, shaded pastures roll, anfeign
would check my hurrying pace, chase
off some cow and take her . place to
doze on grass that tree shade dapples
and eat a lot- of wormy apples.

Tell Us The News
Once again we have been eritized
by subscribers for omitting -news,
which : they have since learned of.
How can any editor get ail the 'news
if it is not told to him?, A couple
were married, the bride and the groom
are both good' friends of the editor
of The Advance, but they were quiet-
ly married at the manse and just as
quietly settled down in . the groom's
-home. We would again remind our
friends and subscribers we need your
help.
Breathes There a Man -
, ' With soul so dead who never to
himselfhas said, "My, trade of late
is getting bad. I'll try another ten -
inch ad.'s If such there be go mark
him well for him no bank account
shall swell; No angels watch the gold-
en stair, to welcome home a million-
aire. The man who never asks for
trade by local line or ad. displayed,
cares more for rest than worldly gain,
patronage but gives him, pain. Tread
lightly let no rude sound disturb his
solitude profound; here let him live
in calm, repose unsought except by
men he owes, and when he dies go
plant him deep that naught may dis-
pel the quiet that he loved so well;
and that the world may know its loss
place on his . grave a wreath of moss;
and on the stone above "Here lies
a chump who wouldn't advertise."

IHAD been told to expect a transfbimation; that -a
new . order: et things was being born in Southern
Alberta; that a' new system of farming was taking the
place of the old. I was told that the days of "scratching
in" and of "soil ,mining" were gone days, Nevertheless,
1' was not prepared for what I saw.
Fifteen years before, I had travelled .through: this.
country and had seen: only a few scattered farmsteads
set out on the "bald-headed" prairie, four square to all
the winds that • blew. There were no trees, only a
.stretching expanse .of prairie that Merged into white -
topped on the west and meeting.the sky 8n
topped!nioun anus
the east in an unbroken horizon; A hew homesteaders
were straggling in. Old cattlemen, trying to says their:
great range, were spreading stories that fanning eould
never be a success in Southern Alberta.
But the homesteader* came. Then later the big
farmers arrived •with their tractors and ushered in the
era of the thousand acre :.w1 stat ranch. A series of "wet
years" made. Southern k.1bRta• famous. Nowhere had
;such crops ever previously been heard of. The Noble
Foundation, one sf the largest fanning corporations in
trap world, brought in a crop of,wheat from one thousand
sores that threshed 54,000 buShelsi The country was•.
thick with elevators. In 1915 and 1916, Southern Al -
berth, reached the peak of trroaperity.' A series of un-
productive nate followed when. rainfall was scant.
'4;• Seine farms were abandoned, but, mostly, men. Held on,
buoyed up by the wonder harvests of other years.
The 'Problem was purely one of moisture,'aaul the
t;vovernrneitts of the .I>ominion and the )province set
about to study it. The soil was of the greatest fer-
tility, the climatewas right. Something to sttplrlorrtent
tJto natural rainfall 'vas wanted, , The Canadian pacific
Railway and other corporations had already develroped
trpets>of land by irrigation, It was no experiment, and
so.a eonstruative' policy of iriigatiou'was commenced'
backed by both Governments.
I't is in the train of 'irrigation that the new order
of: things is coming in Southern Alberta. Teeny as you
drive over the prairie, through the irrigated tracts of
Strathmore and Brooks, south through the Bow River
Project and on into Ta,bee. and Lethbridge, the flatness
is broken cm all sides by farmsteads that nestle among
trees -young trees growing taller and taller every year,
Hedges are growing : where once was barbed wire.
Shrubbery is luxuriant. In the baekground are fields of
Alfalfa, Indian Corn and Wheat. • Dairy cows are seen
on green }pastures. The farms are small, but they are
real farms, and the homes are smiling homes of con-
tented people.. There is no "scratching in" or "soil
mining," These are permanent homes on the threshold
of a future bright with promise. -
In the City of Lethbridge,' around which rachet of the
new irrigation development le proceeding, are . bound
tree -lined streatd, beautiful homes set in hedge enclosed
lawns, and one of the finest little parks that Canada
ear( boast. The city has been thoughtfully planned and
Symbolizes in its setting the spirit of a ;mettle pledged
to periirapteney..
roc those whit knew Sotlthern Alberta, inits infamy,
there is a pleasant surprise waiting,, Wherever irx'ige,
tion has touched, It is 'truly a touutry trans±ttrsned.

ALL THE CHURCHES AT ONCE
Modern • scholars are not going to
submit meekly to the thumb -screw
methods of Conference or Assembly.
One of the latest developments is
the organization of the Tyson Lec-
ture ship. It gets its name from Rev.
Stuart D. Tyson, honorary vicar of
the cathedral of St, John the Divine
New York, who has been appointed
chief lecturer and treasurer of the,
movement. It had its origin in a
gathering of scholars and their friends
in the office of Mr. J. P. Morgan and
the object is to "Make accessible to
all •.men and women of the church the
results of modern scholarship." Dr.
Tyson will tour the country and is
reported to be an eloquent speaker.
The recent vote in the Canadian
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of 426 to t29 in favor of apply-
ing to Parliament for an act to legal-
ize the Union with the Methodist and
Congregational Churches is a step
which places them in the limelight' of
advanced Church Union. In Europe -
and America the farthest gone on this
road is the re -union of branches of the
same denomination like those of the
Presbyterians in Scotland. In Aus-
tralia and New Zealand negotiations
are in progress to unite sister denom-
inations but they are still „quite a dis-
tance away from...consunimation. In
Canada there is a stiff .opposition
which. will impair the complete 'suc-
cess of the effort.
Southerrh.Baptists have just held a
very successful convention, They
have some finahcial difficulties.' due to
the stringency of the money market
but they have increased largely in
numbers and work among the young.
They give as one reason for this hap-
py state of affairs that they have
avoided entanglements with other de-
nominations and kept aloof from
modernism • in theology.
A minister who has for many years
held an honored place in the Christian
Church has lately passed away. It is
Rev. Alexander Smellie, who spent the
whole of his ministerial life in the
quiet charge of Carluke, Scotland. He
belonged- to the strictest sect of Pres-
byterians yet he was beloved by all
evangelical Christians for his books
and other writtings. - He was a lead-
ing speaker at the Keswick convent-
ions and a writer in the Sunday School
Times.
The fourth conclave of the Catholic
Students' Mission Crusade is to be
held in August at Notre Dame Uni-
versity, Notre Dame, Ind. The slo-
gan will be, "In Defence of the
Cross," and by a great rally of the.
young to the cause of Christ and the
Church. 13y keeping prominent the
idea and setting of the Crusades
where the mediaeval clerical orders
and their picturesque garbs will be
represented, there will be a strong ap-
peal both to -the imagination and senti-
ment of the public. All the American
dioceses except nine are already in
the conclave.
At the recent meeting of the Free
Church General Assembly in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, a touching incident
occured. The premier of the nation,
Boner 'Law. who is the son of a Cana-
dian Presbyterian minister and a mem-
ber and office -bearer of that church,
had just -been forced to resign through
ill -health. That circumstance touched
that venerable body and a resolution
of sympathy was passed. It referred
to the esteem in which he was held
by all parties, to his noble character
and inspiring service and in the war
he gave his sons, thus suffering like
the rest of the nation.
The "total abstinence pledge" pass-
ed at the last meeting of the General
Assembly at Indianapolis., is receiving
considerable ridicule and is being in-
terpreted in different ways. A Uni-
tarian editor says that it places Pres-
byterians in the position of people
evtio take a pledge to abstain from be-
ing criminals, since the moment pro-
hibition became the law of the land,
all good citizens were expected •to
keep At is they . were to pay the in-
come tax or avoid setting fire to build-
ings. Because some take it to be an
order of the church, Moderator Wis-
hart hastens to explain'that it is Sot
a mandate but a timely recommenda-
tion.
Prominent churchmen who believe
hi the principle of evolution deny that
it involves the Belief in human descent
from apes, They explain that "man-
and apes are probablyfrom a common'
ancestry," quoting a recent authority,
Professor Klaatsch who points mit: the
difference. "Apes" he states "are to
be regarded as unsuccessful attempts
to compass the.road to rnanlcincl."
