emnizing and arresting words: "For,
if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive
you. But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses•, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses." As much
as to say that "the forgiveness of in-
juries will be the very hardest of all
the holy tempers that I shall ever
have to ask of you,"
Verses 30-31. It is not indiscrim-
inate giving tnat is in 'Ohrist's mind
as He utters these commands. He
would not have us give to any suppli-
cant that which would make Him less
of a man. To give money to a beg-
gar who will turn about and spend it
for that which would injure himself
such as liquor instead of food would
be sinful giving. We are to be guid-
ed in our dispe'nsin'g of charity by the
Golden Rule.
Verses 32-35. Here we have the
length, depth, height and width of
true charity and its consequent re-
ward. We are not to love, to do good
or to lend alone to those we find it a
pleasant thing to associate with in
life. Jesus says, "But love ye your
enemies, and do good, and lend, hop-
ing for nothing again; and your re-
ward shall be great; and ye shall be
the children of the Highest; for He
is kind unto the unthankful and to
the evil." We may ask if it is pos-
sible to love our enemies. Those who
have gained the victory did so by
the only available road—prayer. It
was Jesus' way and it must be the
right way and therefore our way.
And the reward is great. It is true
that "a soft answer turneth away
wrath; but grievous words stir up
strife" 'What greater reward is
there to be had than peace? Temporal
rewards are good and it is not wrong
to seek after them but spiritual re-
wards reach a higher altitude: "Ye
shall be children •of the Highest."
From The Sermon Bible we con-
dense the following: "Be ye merci-
ful." These words were spoken to
an age in which mercy was poorly
esteemed. Among the old Raman vir-
tues mercy held an insignificant place.
The savage instinct by which the sick
and feeble are left to perish by the
wayside, while the strong hurry on
unheeding, survived even among the
tender-nearbed Jews. There was a
wounded traveller on many a high
road, and priest and Levite preferred
to let him perish. Hospitals, infirm-
aries, homes for the aged and sick,
were undreamed of by the most en-
lightened. It was the age too, of
slavery. No one can look into the
ghastly history golf [Roman slavelry
without realizing how much Christ's
words have done for men. We some-
times hear it said tnat our age is too
merciful. We must not confuse mer-
cy with lack of moral fibre. The
mercy of God has nothing inconsist-
ent with • the sternest justice. "Judge
not, condemn not." How are we to
understand these words? Does the
Saviour mean that we are to form no
opinion whatever about the character
and conduct of persons with whom
we come in contact? Obviously not.
Me means that when blame and re-
buke have to be made it will be done
witn reluctance and not with satis-
faction—with moderation and not
with exaggeration—with love, and not
with harshness. "Give and it shall
be given unto you." This is true be-
tween man and man. Such as we
are to others, such in the long run
4111 other9' be to us. "Give, and it
shall be given," even in money; but
ie things far beyond money—in love,
trust, hearty and affectionate service.
This is true also, between ourselves
and life. Give your best, and you
shall receive its best. Lose yourself,
forget yourself in healthy work, in
true love, in a noble cause, and you
will find yourself again in a larger,
freer, happier life. Once more the
saying is verified as between our-
selves and God. "With what mea-
sure ye mete." Even He is, in a
sense, to us what we are to Him, Pray
and your prayers shall be heard. Be-
lieve, and God will be real to you.
Trust and obey and you shall know
that you have not trusted in vain.
Shut yourself up from Him, and He
will shut Himself up from you.
For aching hearts would lose their
pain
And earth grow more like heaven,
If only wegaveout again,
Tne blessings to us given.
Anne B. Smith.

Grant 0 God that thy professed fol -
bowers everywhere may experience an

Teacher.
Lesson Passage --Luke 6:27-42.
Golden Text—Luke 6:32.
The only time that it is recorded
of Jesus as being a student of a
great school was the time He was
missed by His parents for three days.
They found Him in Jerusalem sitting
in the midst of the doctors. Yet He
became the world's great teacher, and
it was said of 'Him: "Whence hath
this man this wisdom?" Even His
enemies admitted his wisdom for the
officers sent to apprehend Hili re-
turned to the chief priests and Phari-
sees without Him and gave as the
reason, "Never man spike like this
man."
In verses 27-29 Jesus speaks to His
disciples about the Godlike attribute
of Iove and forgiveness. In this con-
nection Dr, Alexander Whyte says- "I
do not think that there is anything
that our Lord returns on so often as
the forgiveness of injuries. And the
reason of that may (very well be be-
cause our 'lives are so full of injuries,

WHAT 1950 WILL BRING TO US
Business men cannot ignore care-
fully thought-out predictions of ma-
terial and social changes in this coun-
try during the next generation.
And so To -morrow's Business (New
York) published by the Shaw -Walker
Company, .presents twenty definite
prophecies made by the National Ed-
ucational Association.
They are described as forming "in-
teresting reading for any thoughtful
business main, and are worthy of ser-
ious consideration as they touch on
nearly all the major, social and eco-
nomic problems facing ue ,to -day."
And many of them "relate to the busi-
ness for which we must make future
plans"
On the material side, probable a-
chievements by 1950 are listed as fol-
lows:
I. A system of health and safety
that will practically wipe out pre-
ventable accidents and contagious, dis-
eases.
2. A system of ,housing that Will
provide for the masses homes sur-
rounded by beauty, p1~vaicy, quiet, sun,

3. A' fiat telephone rate for tike en-
tire country at moderate cosh.
4. Universal air transportation at

10. The perfection of community,
city and regional planning to make
all surroundings increasingly beauti-
ful and favorable to the good life.
11. The shorter working week and
day, so extended that there will be
work for all.
On the social side the probable a-
chievements are summed up like this:
1. Hospitalization and medical
care will be available for all who
need them.
2. There will be a quickened ap-
preciation of the home as a centre
of personal growth and happiness.
3. Educational service, free or at
small cost, will be available from the
earliest years of childhood through-
out life.
4. The free •public library will
grow in importance, leading the way
toward higher standards of maintain-
ed intelligence.
5. The nation will achieve a stan-
dard of citizenship which means
wholesome community life and clean
government.
6. Crime will be virtually abolish-
ed by transferring to the preventive
processes of the school and education
the problems of conduct which police,
courts and prisons now seek to rem-
edy when it is too late.
7. All vocational activities will be
come richer, leading to nobler com-
panionships and to development of
the creative arts.
8. Ethical standards will rise to
keep pace with new needs in business,
industry and international relations.
9. The religious awakening will
grow in strength until most of our
citizens will appreciate the import-
ance of religion in the well -ordered
daily life.

STORY OF THE TANKS THE
WAR'S ONE NEW IDEA
Sine t}:" invention of the tanks
was practically the only new idea born
of a war whose chief actors spent
most of their time unconsciously
proving that the old ideas which they
disregarded were nevertheless the
foundations of military science, any
time would seem to be a suitable time
to give the history of them. For the
facts were are indebted to B. H. Lid-
deII Hart's great book, "The Real
War," As to the importance of the
tanks, he quotes Ludendorff who call-
ed August
"black s 8, 1918, the day of
the German army in the history of
the war," for it was on this day that
he was confronted with the great
tank surprise. G.eneral Von Zwehl
also said: "It was not the genius of
Marshal Foch that beat us but Gen-
eral Tank." Going no further back
in the history of the war itself, it
may be said that the idea later to
be developed into this monster of
destruction, was suggested by the
Holt tractor, an American device. But
we must mention that in 1911 an in-
genious Notingham •plumtber used the
idea for the sketch of an armored
tank and sent it to the War Office,
where it was duly pigeonholed. Years
later it was exhumed and found to
bear the official notation "The man's
mad."
But the man whose imagination re-
sulted in the tractor being transform-
ed into a weapon of warfare was Col.
Ernest Swinton; a veteran English of-
ficer of high intelligence, who in the
early days of the war was the Offi-
cial Eye -witness in France. He had
already had • experience of the Holt
tractor though not, of course, as a
weapon, and it struck him that here
was the key for the stalemate en the
western front. On a visit to London
he coinmunieated his idea to Col.
Maurice Hankey, secretary of the
Committee of Imperial Defence, an-
other officer of the keenest intelli-
gence and imagination. H.'a.n1cey a-
greed to put the proposal before Kit-
chener while Swinton would approach
headquarters in Praline. In bothplac-
es, the idea was rejected as Vision-
(try. But Hanker bed also told Aa-
quith about it, and hiaf statement to
*ROM came to the attention of
WitngtOtt Cyl►urr.' I who eoema f4a
have had a 'sounds nollitary instinct
than tlAn high'au and in any artny-
The proposal interested him and when
the army fiatiyrefused to have any-
thing to t1,o ^with it, Churchill, in the
navy, +b ?i e-sp'onsor for it. The re-
sult was the creation of a committee
of experts t examine the whole prob-
lem.
By the t me Churchill left the
admiralty;, Mr. Tennyson d'Eyncourt,
director of naval construction, had
become seized of the importance of
the proposals and experiments went
forward more rapidly. The army at
last showed a grudging interest, and
model machines came into existence.
Finally one was approved and orders
were given for mass production, if
one can give such a name to an order
for scores when it should have been
for thousands. Another grave blunder
was in building tanks to conquer
obstacles which existed in 1915, but
which had greatly changed and be-
come much more formidable in -1916'
when the tanks actually came on the
scene. The crews were hastily train-
ed, and the machines themselves not
sufficiently tested to correct technical
weaknesses which had to be revealed
on the field of battle. It was Haig's
decision that the tanks should be thus
prematurely used, and he remained
obdurate in spite of the protests of
Lloyd George.
Thus, as Captain Hart says, the
tanks were pawned for a song. Pro-
perly developed and suddenly launch-
ed in great numbers it is possible
that they might have brought the war
to an end, partly through the element
of surprise. So a theatrical local
success was achieved, something to
make eneouraging newspaper head-
lines and nothing more. In the mean-
time orders for a thousand new tanks
which had been given in England were
ordered cancelled. But Major Albert
Stren, in charge of construction, re-
fused to act on his instructions, went
to Lloyd George who supported him
and then told Sir William Robertson
that the building would proceed. Lat-
er on, when the opportunity present-
ed itself Stern was removed as pun-
ishment for his insubordination, and
the same fate (befell Col. Swinton
when General Headquarters found an
opening. To complete the tale of
army hostility to the tanks it has to
be said that in an effort to discredit
them an official statement was issued
crediting a single German artillery
officer with the destruction of a dozen
in one engagement.
Again in the Passchendaele opera-
tions, which needlessly sacrificed so
many thousands of British lives, the
tanks were used again, but again
under unsuitable conditions. They
were officially pronounced a failure,
despite the fact that the French Gov-
ernment was busily engaged in con-
structing them. It was because of the
insistence of the younger regular
soldiers in the army that the British
army persevered with them. They
were gradually improved technical-
ly. Their crews were better trained.
They were produced in numbers, and
their effectiveness in connection with
infantry support was explored. Fin-
ally, at. C'ambrai, they were given
heir first fair trial, and handsomely
did they vindicate the faith and con-
fidence of those who had been disre-
garded, snubbed, or even reduced in
rank because they fought for the
tank. In 1917 the tank was vindicat-
ed. In 1918 it was crowned in tri-
umph.
DON'T PURSUE HEALTH, JUST
WAIT FOR IT
We worry too much about our
health and permit other people to
worry us too much. We even note
the appearance of what is called a
"medical counsel" to add to the ad-
monitions that have heretofore been
administered by doctors, patent medi-
cine manufacturers and other people
whose chief business seems to be to
Iecture us into conformity with cer-
tain standard's. This is not the opin-
ion merely of a newspaper writer. It
is the considered judgment of Dr.
Robert Hutchison, M.D., F.R.C.P., of
London. Dr. Hutchison addressed the
British and Canadian medical associa-
tions on the subject in Winnipeg and
we remember that his address attract-
ed some attention in the newspapers
at the time. The full text is now be-
fore us in the January issue of the
Canadian Medical Association Journ-
al. It presents an admirable combin-
ation of what purports to be medical
science and what we easily recognize
as common, sense. But more than
that it is comforting, and tends to
confirm us in an easy-going attitude
toward such problems as diet and ex-
ercise which we believe will commend
itself to
thev man.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
WE REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS -4W THE DOMINION BANK:—
That We have examined the above Balance Sheet as at December 31st, 1930, and compared it with the books
and vouchers at Head Office and with the certified returns from the Branches. We have obtained all the information
and explanations that we have required, and in our opinion the transacti ,ns of the Bank which have come under our
notice have been within the powers of the Bank.
In our opinion the Balance Sheet discloses the true condition of the Bank and is as shown by the Books

less likely you are to attain it. He
agrees with Chesterton that "of all
human things the search for health
is the most unhealthy." 'Fussiness
about health increases fear, and im-
pairs the serenity which is the basis
both of health and happiness. Ile
notes that hypochondria is commoner
in men than in women, and is most
likely to occur when a man having
retired from business and being with-
out absorbing hobbies has too much
spare time which he is likely to de-
vote to his own well being. In ex-
treme manifestations this condition
may lead to fixed delusions and ev-
entually to insanity. The diet faddist
Dr. Hutchison finds the most obnox-
ious of these hypochondriacs. He is
obsessed by vitamins and calories, and
he is likely to hold very pronounced
opinions on the subject of roughage.
What does science say about all
diets for the moderately healthy man?
It says that we should eat moderate-
ly of an ordinary mixed diet and not
worry about what is proceeding in-
side us after the food has been swal-
lowed. As regards calories, our ap-
petite was given us to tell how much
food we should eat, and in health is
usually a trustworthy guide. Leave
raw vegetables, excepts salads, to the
herbivorous animals and let the vit-
aminsook afterthemselves. 1 h mselves. There
is little merit in wholemeal as oppos-
ed to white bread, but some of it
should be 'taken for a change. Mulch
roughage is more likely to do harm
than good. The trouble with fruit is
that while it is a pleasant addition to
the diet it is not (very nourishing,
while milk is both bulky apd bilious.
Vegetarianism is harmless enough
though it is likely to fill a man with
wind and self-righteousness. It is
not really a mode of diet at all, and
contrary to general delusions on the
subject, is pa1ticr larly unsuitable for
growing children and sedentary work-
ers. It is well to remember that few
diseases are either caused or cured by
diet. We note in this connection that
Dr. Hubert •Pocock, speaking over the
radio recently, said that there were
only two disease's of the stomach.
Dr. Hutchison thinks that a morbid
dread of microbes is ridiculous and
even dangerous. It becomes perilous
when a mother by the most meticu-
Ions care keeps her children from all
sorts of infection) through their ten-
der years, only to find that they will
have their measles and their whoop-
ing cough at a time of life when it
is more inconvenient and) more dan-
gerous than if they had thein in early
childhood. One cannot always! be kept
from infection; go the mother is set-
ting herself an imposst`hle task. 'Eq-

marked lack of respect for the regu-
lar medical examinations which so
many people undergo. The idea is
that by this means diseases may be
identified in their early stages.
The objection is that most diseases
cannot be detected early, or if they
are little can 'be done to stop them
unless one is willing to give up all
that makes life worth living simply
to live a little longer. (Most of the
defects which a periodic examination
will reveal are defects that the patient
is better to know nothing about. Dr.
Hutchison notes that some time ago
300 New York business men were
critically examined and not one of
them was found to be free from some
defect. The same ratio would have
prevailed had the examiners been ex-
amined. There are no rules which
apply to every man's health. One
man's meat is another man's poison
and one man's rule of health is an-
other man's rule of death. Modera-
tion is the universal secret of health,
but, as Dr. Hutchison says, it is tory
old and too dull to make thrilling
propaganda. Ile quotes with approv-
al the remarks of Sir Thomas Horder,
one of the most distinguished of liv-
ing physicians who said that too many
people regarded the road to health as
a tight rope along which we make a
slow and trepidating progress, the
least bias to one side or the other
plunging us into an abyss. The truth
is that "Health is a broad and well
paved road; Nature is both an ex-
cellent road maker and road mender.
Not only does it require very little
skill, and but a modicum of good for-
tune to keep to it, but the wayfaring
man must .be a fool indeed if he errs
therein." •
PAT BURNS OF CALGARY NEVER
SEEKS PUBLICITY
One of the quietest figures in West-
ern Canada is Pat Burns, the wealthy
meat packer of Calgary. You seldom
hear of 'him. Hardly ever .does his
name appear in the newspapers. He
never makes speeches, He is never
quoted as predicting this or that.
Yet Pat Burns is a powerful and
picturesque figure and there ie no
other man• in the west who better typi-
fies the term "Old-timer.;' For Mr.
Burns has been in 'Western Canada
,almost since the beginning of things
out there. 'Reared in Ontario, he
went west in 1878 and took lip a
homestead near Minne•dosa, Manitoba.
But he was cut out for business and
in 1885 he took on a contract to sup-
ply fresh meat , to the big construc-
tion camps in the vicinity of Regina.
That started hien in. the "meat busi-
ness. Hie folioWed the railways West

was a profitable Wanness and it took
hint to 'Calgary, where be established
himself permanently: 'The little tow.
town hart a population of less than
4,4)00' cit; those 'd :y'a.
Pat Burns, shrewdly foreseeing the
future of the west, built a packing
plant in Calgary and he has been a
meat -packer ever since. He has had
his ups and downs, but he is the sort
of man who stays put and he is not a
plunger.
Rated as a -millionaire, Mr. Burns
is a most unassuming man. He has a
beautiful home in 'Calgary and has so-
cial hours are spent there or at then
famous Ranchers' Club of Calgary,
where he knows everybody. He look;
like a cabinet minister. He has a
kindly smile, a soft voice and a court -
1 eous manner. He is always ready to
help along a good cause with his mon-
ey, but would be genuinely embarrass-
ed if the fact were heralded, for he -
is a shy man who does not wish to•
impress anybody. In short, Pat
Burns of Calgary is very much of a
gentleman.
