LESSON FOR OCTOBER 6th Lesson Topic — Recogmmzing our Debt to Others. Lesson Passage--PUlark 12 : 28-34 ; Jas. 2:14-17. Golden Text—Philippians 2:9. In Dr. Joseph "'•.,rker's exposition on this portion of the gospel of Mark he says: This incident shows that indirect influence may be exerted by Christian teaching. Even if the scribe had not proposed this inquiry he would have received advantage from the answer which Jesus Christ returned to the Sadducees. Re was evidently impressed with the wisdom, self-control, and hi g h spiritual claims of Jesus Christ. The Scribe was evidently clear -minded and more earnest than either the Herod- ians or the Saducees. They propos- ed political and speculative questions; but the scribe made a spiritual in- quiry, "which is the first command- ment of all"? This is the kind of question which is worthy of the most anxious consideration. Life should not be spent in paltry disputes about tribute money, or in studying ques- tions of barren speculation, but in r .A.1- . - � ? moi, '1,!i��,? i .....A amaa (IIilII(lllll)IlfjiillIall1 IIIIIIullatalliffnl'l .1 W GALVANIZED • GILE6S for the Rae til tine IifF�affm �, Memo other. epic, 301110 SHEET S'II"IEIEI., CEILINGS IFelr Schools, HWEs0 &tt&ic Latham, otc.

The words of the commalzndments, as pronounced by Jesus Christ are sirup- ly majestic. Without exposition or en- largement he repeated ,the words of eternal life; he pronounced them with the authority of the Lawgineer. Mian needs two commandments be- cause his life has teas aspects. The one aspect is upwards towards God, the other aspect is lateral towards society. ° Both commandments have the common root of love. We may reverence God withgaat loving Him. For our neighbor we may have ad- miration without affection. T h e divine requirement is more than rev- erence • or admiration. It is love. The answer which the Scribe re- turned to Jesus Christ shows that in the heart of man there is a voice which confirms the claim of God. "Well, Master, thou hast said the truth.'° We should speak so as to compel those who hear us to acknow- ledge that our word is true. We can do this by our tone as well as by our reasoning. Jesus Christ recognizes every part- icle of good that is in a man. He told the scribe that he was s+ot far from the 'kingdom of God. Jesus Christ recognized good directions and tendencies, as well as succeesful results. Wle should never be afraid to tell others of the good we see in them encouragement is as good to the soul. .Dames 2 : 14-17. The Apostle declares here that faith which does not produce good works, or which would not produce holy living if fairly acted out, will save no man, for it ie not genuine faith. In proof of this he instances the case of one who was hungry or nak- ed wanting not good wishes or kind words merely; but the acts to which good wishes and kind words prompt. Religion is not designed to be a cold abstraction; it is to be a living and vivifying principle. There is a great deal of that kind- ness and charity in the world which is expressed by mere good wishes. If we really have not the means or relieving the poor and the needy, then the expression of a kind wisn may be in itself an alleviation to their sorrow, for even sympathy in such a case is of value, and it is much to us to know that others fcel for us; but if we have the means, and the object is a worthy one, then such expressions are mere mockery, and aggravate rather than soothe the feel- ings of the sufferer. — (Condensed from Barne's Commentary). ni r - WORLD MISSIONS A Problem. A missionary was once visiting in British Columbia. A fellow minister was commiserating with him cn the difficulties of his work or rather the difficulty for to the minister it seem- ed that there was only one great ob- stacle in the way of bringing the people of India to Christ and that was that one had to express himself in a foreign language which of course made it difficult for missionary and hearer to understand each other. If it were not for that barrier the Gos- pel of Christ, he felt would simply sweep over India. The missionary demurred to this reading of the sit- uation and when his friend held to his point took him down to an In- dian quarter in B. C. and introduced him to an Indian who spoke English perfectly. The result was not what had been expected and on the way home the ministerial friend admit- ted that even speaking in English to a man who perfectly understood him he had made no headway at all in his effort to present the gospel So in India we have many difficul- ties besides the language. And often- times a missionary is completely at a loss as to how to advance in any particular case.—(From the Central India Torch). ONCE A RUSSIAN PRINCE, NOW )EINE RAISES MUSKRATS Alberta has added one more to her list of titled ranchers. This time it is a Russian prince, remotely related to the defunct royal family through an alliance in the days of Peter the Great, but of recent years more or less a wanderer on the face of the earth in a search for a happy home where Bolsheviks cease from troubl- ing and princelings are at rest. Prince Leo Galitzine, twenty-five years old and married just about a year, is this latest royal rancher. He has bought over 400 acres of land on the McLeod River, five miles south of Edson, right in the heart of the big game country, and there he is going to raise—muskrats. On the land there is a lake which covers 150 acres, and this is to be the habitat of the colony of muskrats the prince plans to develop. There are already a few hundred furry rodents on the place, but a much larger num- ber will have to be introduced to make the ranch a paying proposition. The lake is to be enclosed with three miles of wire fencing at a cost of $2,000. 'Much of the farm work is to be done by the prince himself, though be will have a manager and a few helpers. He has studied fur farming intensive- ly and has a number of theories that he intends to put to the teat of prac- tice, these having been endorsed by the professors of agriculture of Lou- vain University, where be studied fore some years. It is not expected, how- ever, that the rat ranch will pay div- idends until about 1982. Prince 1alitzine has come through the usual experiences of the !: usnlan nobleman, but was lucky enough to escape utter ruin in the revolution. a was bon dm Christina Day, 1904, in Central Russia, but from infancy until 1918 his family lived in Prance, Italy and 5,itzra;claudi, his 2stlier re - Wieling toVEu.bt- Ia in that year and dying shortly atirrittl s.

The Prince made an incursion into the moving picture field in France, but his eyes failed under the glare of the studio lights and he had to give up his ambition to be an actor. He bears a striking resemblence to the late czarevitch and in earlier and hap- pier days was frequently mistaken for the heir to the Russian throne. On one occasion he even had to be guarded by detectives to frustrate a plot to kidnap him by misguided ad- herents of the ancient regime who be- lieved thatis impersonation of the czarevitch, racked by a plausible story of a miraculous escape from the Reds when the other members of the royal family were murdered, would surely restore the monarchy. Now he is raising muskrats in Al- berta. GOOD IN EVIERY WAY Baby's Own Tablets I::anish Babyhood and Childhood Ailments. A medicine that all mothers praise --one good in every way—one that will quickly 'banish the minor ills of babyhood and childhood is the medi- cine to keep in the medicine chest; to always have on hand in case of emergency. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets—they are help- ful at all times. They are a mild but thorough laxative which by re- gulating the bowels and stomach banish colds and simple fevers; cor- rect constipation and indigestion; re- lieve colic and diarrhoea and make the cutting of teeth easy. Thousands of mothers use no other medicine for their little ones. Among them is Mrs. J. 11. Bromley, West- meath, Ont., who writes:—"I have four children and whenever any of them are ill I always use Baby's Oen Tablets 1 and have found them •--o-1 in evr.ry way. 'I would not be without the Tablets and would also Iike your little booklet 'Care of the Baby in Health and Sickness.'" Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A PROFESSIONAL PATRIOT WHO WROUGHT DISCORD A. week ago William B. Shearer was as unknown to fame as was the late Dr. Crippen before the remains of Belle Elmore were discovered. Now he enjoys some such celebrity as was accorded Crippen after the remnants were found under a London cellar. History is full of such instances and if we couple Shearer with Crippen for illustrative purpos- es it is because the former is credited and probably credits himself, with a kind of murder, namely the murder of the Geneva conferences in 1926 and 1927 which would have expedited naval accord between Great Britain and the United States. Fortunately this was no permanent murder. The two nations seem well on the way to a complete understanding. But Mr. Shearer deserves no credit for this. Indeed, it may be on account of the extremely cordial conversations that are now being exchanged that Mr. Shearer has found an unwelcome puce in the limelight. While Mr. Shearer was pretty well known in American naval circles he was without international celebrity. Those who knew anything about his public activities considered him either a kind of nut or a feverish patriot. The American navy was his hobby. In one way or another he produced a vast amount of propaganda in favor of the navy and against any proposal which might reduce its efficiency. Particularly did he fear that the Am- erican navy . might become . inferior to the British navy. Incidentally he produced a lot of anti-British propa• FoT Lum ago and Sciatica At the firer in .';cation of nagging pain in the act or sciatic nerve, applly Abmon-bine, Jr. Relief will be prompt bemuse this powerful liniment provides the necessary rr rmth which atunulatea the circulation and- breaks up the con- eastiion.

Shearer. But this suggestion is false. We do ziot suppose that really Mr. Shearer is any more anti-British than he is anti -Republican, anti-Democra- tis, anti -Protestant or anti-Catholic though certain of his utterances might be cited in support of any of these suppositions. The truth seems to be 'that Mr. Shearer is just pro -,Shearer. The fact has come to light that he, has been handsomely paid for all his patriotic efforts. 'It was Mr. Shearer who turn- ed the spotlight on himself when he entered suit against the Bethlehem Shipping corporation, the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock com- pany and the American Brown Boveri Electric Corporation for services •be- tween December, 1926, and March, 1929, for stimulating their .business. He asked for something more than a quarter of a million dollars and said that he had been alre;,iy paid more than $50,000 for past services. The companies refused to settle, and Mr. Shearer was obliged to give some de- tails of the services rendered. It was then that it appeared that he had helped burk a naval agreement between Great Britain and the Unit- ed States in the interest of these companies, all of which would have lost money had the American naval programme been curtailed. Mr. Shearer might be regarded as merely a rather high-grade propagan- dist with the general moral eense of other propagandists if it were not for the fact that in the course of his work he sowed suspicion and enmity between the British and American people. Nobody can doubt that the failure of the Geneva conference had this result for the time being. The general idea held in the United States was that the failure to reach an agreement was due to the combined stupidity and insolence of British nav- al experts and the determination of the British people that they would keep ahead of the United States in the armament race. It was Mr. Shear- er's work to promote this idea in the United States, and over the radio and by phamphlets which he issued he sought to achieve this result. One of these pamphlets, "The Cloak of Benedict Arnold," was a vicious at- tack upon the world court, in which he suggested that all Americans who favored it were either conscious trai- tors or deluded imbeciles, and this, despite the fact that the world court had the approval of President Cool- idge, Charles E. Hughes and Elihu Root among others. 'Here is one passage from it: "Thc crucible that once produced red blood and sturdy hearts will surely give us a leader, a Paul Revere, sounding the alarm and riding like hell over these Babylonion architects who would take us from the sea, and who are spread- ing the cloak of Benedict Arnold over the younger generations and driving seditious nails in the cross of nation- al crucifixion." He found all relig ions and both political parties in the United States implicated in the hor- rible plot, for he wrote, "In the Church of England and the Protest- ant pulpit there is a faction which has reached out beyond spiritual in- fluences in America. This is strongly reflected in the Republican party. Likewise in the Church of Rome an ever-growing influence has exerted its power in the political destiny of the United States; this through the Dem- ocratic party. And their bartering with internationalists of instinct or profession gives integration, - and Americanism dies the victim of a battle of the ages." One of the few things about Mr. Shearer which we have pleasure in recording is the fact that this summer when he applied for permission to visit England he was told by the present British govern- ment that he was an undesirable and refused entry. istOWS stoiewitte a bast. 1 Flies are dangerous.

C'IITIZIENS REVOLT AT I:;OSTON'S CENSORSHIP Some support of the idea that the best way to bring about the repeal of a bad law is to enforce it rigidly comes from Boston where the people are said to be up in arms over the banning of 'Eugene O'Neill's play, "Strange Interlude." Intellectuals of the city to the number of 10,000 are said to have signed a petition 'de- nouncing the mayor who refused to permit the play, and it seems possible that before the incident closes Boston may have a censorship more in line with those of other large cities. The Springfield Republican notes that the play was permitted in London where the, lord chamberlain is supposed to embody a t least some of the old standards and tastes of the Victorian era, and thinks on this ground it might have been safe to let the people of Boston see what has been hailed by some important critics as the most valuable contribution which an American has ever made to the liter- ature iterature of the stage. It might be pointed out that there is no law in Boston eempelling people to attend the theatre. 'l hole who fear they would be shocked or genet- By un- hinged would have been permitted to remain at home. '• .

It was in 1911 when John F. Fitzgerald was mayor that censorship first began to attract at- tention. Mayor Fitzgerald banned Eugene Walter's play "The Easiest Way." This p' : y was shown several times in Toronto and there is no re- cord of any protest having been made against it. The Boston papers, to do them justice, protested and one of them used the phrase which has since been a thousand times applied to the Boston lcensorship "the city is being made ridiculous." But how ridiculous it was to be made the indignant writer had no idea. Two years later the same mayor de- manded alterations in "Get Rich Quick Wallingford." In Boston, the mayor in the play became "a prom- inent citizen," and the shady senator "a prominent lobbyist." The negro citizens in the city protested against the film "The Birth of a Nation," and in consequence of the hullabaloo they created, Governor Wlalsh appointed a board of censors, to be composed of the mayor, the police commissioner and the justice of the municipal court. Shortly afterward the mayor barred the play "Maternity" and warned away the Belasco production "Marie-Odile." In 1915 he addressed a gathering of theatre owners and managers and told them that he ex- pected them to abide by his new moral code, which seems to have been conveyed to him in some such man- ner as Moses received the Twelve Commandments. Thereafter, no sug- gestive songs or jokes, "especially parodies"; no muscle or coochy danc- es, no one-piece costumes which dis- tinctly revealed the figure were to be seen or heard on a Boston stage. There were to be no portrayals of moral perverts or drug -takers and no mingling of women performers with the audience, except in legerdemain acts. At the same meeting, Rev. Dr. Raymond A. Calkins, who was later to become president of the Watch/ and Ward Society, en- livened the gathering by reading a collection of salacious jokes which he had gathered from the Boston stage. "Read it yourself," said the mayor. "It's too filthy for me," and he snickered, at several pests which had horrified the preacher. In 1924 the mayor barred from the stage such ex- pressions as "hell," "damn," "My God" and "Dear -God." In the mean- time, the censorship of books had been 'very laxly attended to, but an agreement was reached between the booksellers and the Watch and Wad Society whereby if a select committee reported unfavorably on a book la - would be withdrawnrom the shelve of the booksellers. Magazines were censored by an unofficial committee which, if it found a magazine of- fending in three successive numbers, would advise that it be banned. So far as is known, this committee banned only one magazine, whose cover offended, and then lapsed into unconsciousness. Suddenly the book censorship was galvanized into ac- tivity by a patriotic alderman, who found that several books which had been used in the schools for years were pro -British. "School History of the United States," by Albert Bush- nell Hart, one of the most distin- guished of contemporary American historians, was denounced, and so was Mussey's "American History." Even Burke's speech on conciliation, a classic for a century and a half, was held to be unfit. The next scandall was created when the American Mer cury published "Hatrack," a story that caused the magazine to be pro- hibited in Boston. The most recent victim, before O'Neill, was Scribner's magazine, because it contained to story of Ernest Hemingway's, en. titled "Farewell to Arms."
