Is Jesus alive to -day? , The Jaw
will say, "N'o, the Messiah is still to

would unhesitatingly answer', Yes.
OW belief that He is alive is one of

De we believe He is with rue in all our

message tOIlslisary albeit' He had risen
from the tomb was: "Gte—tell 'others";
and to Simon Peter He gave the coms
mend: "Peed my lamb, feed . my
Sheep." "VVIen thou are copverted,
strengthen the brethren." When Saul
of Tarsus, on his way to Damascus,
was .sericken by the Lord, he cried:
"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to
do?" And the Lord, answered, "Go
into Damascus and there it shall be
told thee whiat. thou must ..do."
An eminent French divine, Vene-
Ion, was once asked what he consid-
ered the teat of a good preacher. "The
test of a preacher," he replied, "is
not that his hearera go away say-
ing, 'Oh, what a beautiful sermon,
but that they go away eayisag, 1 will,
do slemethinge "
God wants action. He never goes
to the lazy, or to the shirkers, when
He needs mien for His service. When
God wants a worker, He calls for a
worker. When He has a 'work to be
done, He goes to these who sare al-
ready at work. When He wants a
great servant, Ile calls a busy man.
Scripture and, .historyattest this
truth. We tifiarik of Moses, Gideon,
David, Elis:ha, Amios, Nehemiah, Pet.
er a.r...1 Andrew. James and John,
Matthew, William Oarey and a host
of others.
"Is God dead?" asked an African
mother in astonishment, as she was
told, there was no room in the hos-
pital to which she had brought her
leper child. "Every one says this
place is like heaven, and surely God
never turned a sick child away from
heaven." Why did she think God
must be dead? Because she could not
conceive of a people who 'believe God
lives, and who are enjoying all the
privileges of the Gospel, neglecting
to sympathize with and panicle for
those less fortunate. It is said there
are enough Christians to -day to ex ,••
anigelize the whole world. if onlysthey
would take their religion seriously
and act as though they believe that
Jesus is alive.
Dr. Jsmathan Gleforth, that veteran
-
Missionary of the Presbyterian church
who has given almost fifty years of
missionary service in Manchuria,
China, says the native :Christiana
there will follow the missionary or
Christian leader, through any dang-ese
trial or sacrifice, se long as they think
his religion is sincere. He says the
_missionaries never have to • ask the
converted Christians for money; they
are giving flax too much alreadly. One
Korean Glaistian in Manchuria, who
seaTcely knows, where her next meal
is to come from, brought to the MiG-
simary a eilver ,dollar, which had
been given to her, and asked him to
send it to keep his home church in
Canada, as she had heard they were
in financial &faculties'. Altogether
the Korean Christians collected and
sent three hundred Mexican dollars,
or about $70 in our money, to help
the Canadian church. Wlhen we 'think
of the hale -hearted! struggles ,of our
Canadian churches to obtain means
for even self-support, not to mention
the tragic deficit, in our own mission-
ary fund, ought we not to blush with
shame, whets we hear of the s,acri-
floes, so cheerfully and willingly made
by those Koreans, in order that
rot -hers may *are in the privileges of
that glorious Gospel, which means eo
mach to them. When the Book of
Final Accounts is opened, and we
shall be juidlged according to the deeds
clime, or left undone, .ia this life, is
there not a grave peobability that
these Koreane will appear in judg-
ment againet us. "Many tat are
first shall be lase, and the last shall
be first," staid Jesus. ,
Ile Jesus alive jai Korea to-rday ? Is
He alive in Canada to -day?. If we
believe that He is, then we must be
willing to place our all—lour time, Our
talents, our Oppentenitiee, ode influ-
en'te, our eervilee, our money, ourlives.

,Oue great need to -clay is "it new
life ethieh will :show itself in an ex-
pancang spiritual peraretr. There is
ton little time in the life of the av-
erage Christian, for the nurturing of
the !spiritual life,,and the result is
that the life of the deur& le affected
by the weakness of its members.
Prayer, is the, forerunner of spiritual
life. God has ordained prayer and
has laid it epee', us as the highest
obligation, and the most precious priv-
ilege in Our levee. If Christ needed
to pray Who are 'we, to say that we
do not? God Wants us to pray, to
ask 'Him for the uttermost in spiri-
tual !blessing that' we can conceive,
and then He wants us to praise Him,
that He is able to do far beyonsithis.
It is ears to bear witness to the pres-
ence and 'the power of the Holy Spir-
et, to recognize that He abides with
us always, definitely to receiee Him
as the helper of our infirmities, Our

operate with Him in His gracious
work, and to prepare the way of the
Lord, it might he for the Clair& of
Christ, thebeginning of days of

er been known.
Jesus is alive to -day in a world
which never needed Him more. His
spirit is ,striving with mankind for
supremacy. His ChUrch is called to
a new repentance and heart-search-
ing. The return of Easter again pre-

The Peace River
(Continued from Page 3)
very soon after_ the snow has disap-
peared.
Little Jenny Ween is here and her
very cheerful musical note is heard
for a short time; but she comes very
late in summer and disappears very
early with her little brood to a warm-
er climate. We have the usual white
snow birds, sometimes in great num-
bers. They disappear with the snow
but where they spend the summer
and hatch their young is unknown,
at least to me. Crews are here but
.not very plentiful and do very little
damage, also black birds and ravens.
The raven is a 'bird just a little larg-
e,r than a crow and' flies just the
same, but can easily be distinguished
from it by the discordant croak.
Wild and tame flowers grow to a
great perfection here but I never saw
a humming bird. The little chic -a -
dee remains all winter and the first
spring bird tp be seen in the spring
is the little slate bird so common in
Ontario. Around sloughs and shal-
low water we find seinesand cur-
lems and during the past two years
we 'have seen an occasional bittern.
English sparrows are plentiful a-
round large ibarns and in. towns. They
stand the winters well; yeei few per-
ishing with thie cold.
Prairie chickens, ruffed grouse and
partridge are plentiful some seasons
but seens to be decreasing in num-
bers. Hungarian partridge imported
into Western Canada and released
near Calgary some years ago, have
not reached here yet, though very
numerous farther south. They are
much smaller than our prairie chick-
en e and inemease very rapidly, as the
female bird lays and hatches fifteen
eggs and 'ever. They are very pug-
natious and driive out the larger
prairie chickens of all kinds when
they become plentiful, so we are not
anxious to see them in Peace River':
As te the native, plants in this dis-
trict they are much the same as on
the prairies, but We have some that
I never saw elsewhere. We have no
wild sunflowers, but we have a plant
very much like them in crowding out
the grain. It is known as fire weed
or wild phlox, as the 'blooms are pink
in color and closely resemble the
tame phlox in our gardens. It is.
perennial and difficult to entirely er-
adicate, but it easily kept down by
good farming. Wihere land has once
been cultivated and allowed to go
back to grass and weeds, the wild
phlox makes a great showing andit's
quite a sight to see the .pinlo blooms
over several acres. When cut in sea-
son it makes ,good hay and farm an.
imals are very fond of it.
(White yarrow is found all over the
Peace River country. It furnishes
good hay andpasture and is net a
bad weed.Gelden rad, the state
fewer of tenses, thrives, here but
does not .grow as tall as inteeme place
es. Dandelierie are rplentiful but are
not native. In the fertile soil here
they grow to great perfection. The
worst weeds that the farmer has to
don -tend with are wild buckwheat, pig
weed or lamb's Teas -bele Shepherd's
purse and in Some places, wild oats.

On sloohltame =weed grew( to a won-
derful leattifeetion. As to mutual sue,
cess in farming I will cite one or two
instances out of Many. Within easy
driving distance from 'here a • good
many years ago there came a home-
steaderfrom the Isle of Man. He
heTnestead/ed in a particularly good
part • of the country. The land was
extra good. and, brush was not as
plentiful as in some parts no fox
from hint. He succeeded so well that
he ,purchased' adjoining farms till he
had a whole section (640 acres). He'
farmed this for a timie, raising wheat
but also .gathered around him a large
band of 'horses.. A short time before
the depression, a stranger, on looking
over his fine farm, offered hime$20,-
000. The Oehler said :he had not been
thinking of selling but replied: "Well
let me have another crop and I will
sell for that =aunt," to which the
stranger agreed. That year the
weather was favorable and prices
fairly high, se I 'presume 'his crop
yielded him $2,000 clear. Then his
sale of farm teachinery and horses
brought him another $2,000. After
the sale he gathered all to:gether and
returned to the dear little Isle from
whence he came.
Nearer here a German woman, with
two or three sons, took up what
they were entitled to. The land
had plenty of brush and: they had
no motive ',power but 'oxen. They
eurely. economized and 'by working
full time and over time, they succeed-
ed in banishing the brush and now
have a fine farm with automobiles
and •a $5,000 dollar hiousee I admit
that these two cases are remarkable
and exceptional, but there may be a
hundred or more other .farmers who
have done one 'half as well.
es my letter is already too long
I must draw to a close, but if any
reader is contemplating a move to
Western Canada don't stop till you
see the Peace River 'District and
what it has to offer. Land' values
are away down to what they were
about fi.ve years ago when an unim-
proved section Of school land sold at
auction for- over $30 an acre. It was
a very desirable farm with • little
brush and ten years to pay. Times
are different now; when an old man
wishing to retire, offers three quar-
ters all adjoining for $7 an acre, im-
provements additional. On the place
there is a splendid house, nearly new
hip-reof barn, good water supply and
well fenced.
Sir Henry Thornton once made a
trip through this part of the country
and was so delighted with it that in
his address at Bennyn, said, using
hei owe words: "If Moses had seen
he Peace River country he never
would have led the Children of Israel
into Canaan."
Respecting inquiries, would say
that persons desiring detailed inform-
ation should enclose some pay as no
one has time to write letters and pay
postage for nothing. A few years
ago I wrote a letter to a Winnipeg
paper and at the end of the letter
stated that I would be willing to an-
swer all inquiries respecting the
Peace Riyer country, when lo and be-
hold! I received nearly 100 letters
and only a very few enclosed even a
stamp. They did •not realize that it
took $3 to pay the postage on 100
letters, One man, however, sent a
dollar, so that helped out .some; then
it took all my spare time for over a
week to d'o the writing, even if my
neighbors helped some.

Reducing Farm Power Costs
Farm power costs may be reduced
by making needed repairs and adjust-
ments on tractors, by using proper
hitches and operating with an optim-
um load. Itbrse labor costs may be
reduced by having harness and em -
?Temente in perfect adjustment, by
using proper hitches and leads, by
econo-mieal feeding and by usi nig most-
ly young horses raised: on the farm.
Henhouse Ventilation
'The removal of moisture is, a major
problem in poultry botises. Poultry
have no sweat glands, but they give
off relatively large amounts of vapor
in respiration and through the skin.
It was found at one experimental sta-
tion that maximum egg production
was obtained when temperatures were
not permitted to fluctuate widely. A
henhouse temperature at 50 degrees
F. is too high to be maintained on
most farms in winter 'without are-
fici•all heart. Hence, a lower tempera-
ture held uniformly would he desir-
able. Increasing numbers of poultry-
men have had success with artificial
heat properly regulated; but failure
has eon-brio/11y restuated when temper-
atures were allowed to. go .boo high er
to fluctuate widely.
LITTLE children, tired wftli
