Jews everywhere dispersed sowed the seed of sueh a hope. This was uot because tbey were aggressively missionary, but IniiiaiiBii Qentiles were so deeply miserable and despaired of tbeir horeditary faiths. Slightest whisper of hope tiiv.l thoae who ware not wholly dead to hope. Aspiring souls, quit of uonvon- tional forms, putting racial projudiiM aside, were ready to share with He brews thair brilliant Messianic vision. To this order the Magi belonged. Thoy proved their moral earuestncHs by In stautly following tboir load. Oifle In hand were material evidence of spiritual f si tli, Iheir certainty of- finding and .the character nf the object of Ibeir quest. .lurusalem,. capital of dowry, was their natural goal—but Jerusalem in turn was to be the crucible iu whieh llioir faith was to lie furthur tested. I est,nni uf finding a city iu rupture uver the advent, thoy found a popularise sodden as nnt lo know there was te lm any advent, and a hidcuus old tyrant ready tu bathe his hands iu blood uf his im 'ni rival. When pointed lu n straggling Judeau hernial us Ilu.' possible i'l-'. of Iho nativity, nothing ii-umi ul, ili,-;, set out for it. Men whu never dreamed of royalty,separate frum a palace, found lbc object nf Iheir quest in a hut. Instead nf gulden crib and silken ranopy was swaddling clothes. Instead of court, twuAdiililcaii peasants unly. In spile uf Irase tun- ditions until triumphs. They pay the Uuin the homage of a king. . •Tlp'ir gifts lie ruyal.

The Teacher's Lantern The conduct nf the Magi shews thair traits They were seekers fur the universal guild, earnest, persistent. Theirs was no irrational enthusiasm following an ignis faluus. There is a larger sig nificence iu their deed. II is an acted parable lo show lliu reality and desire id, in.-, uf thai which .lesus was and represented.

Mosaic from Oounueiitarles Tradition sayi there were three Magi, Ibat they were king*, represented the Ibree races—(Shea, Ham, Japhulj one was a negro; tbeir names jjisc/jbcl on their tomb in Cologne Cathedral. Traditions grew oul uf dramatic rcpre lentsliuiii to whicii lhe scene lends il self well. Aboul sll wc know of tbe Magi certainly Is thai they were Ocn tiles. Thoy.do not say, "Our King," but "King of the Jews " Kepler's theory that the Star was the natural conjoin imu of Jupiter and Saturn is now discarded. The character ol Her od perfectly agrees wilh Ibe circumstance-one who could kiiriiis own wins would uot scruple tn do away with the infants of a provincial town when fren/ied by suspicion, lie asked if he sarcd tbe hope. Many a good question is put with an ill design. Outward in lificaine of Bethlehem in marked contrast to its spiritual greatness. Her od himself e believer in astrology, and so ashed about tbe star. Magi's gifts signify gold: kingly power, incense, divinity; myrrh—death. Stars thai have been misused cun be used aright. Whether wise men before or not, they certainly became such when they sought Christ.

The vital liiunii'iil of the forest pol icy with reference tu Ilie general pros- perilv uf the province waa strikingly 'portrayed by Mr. A. I'. Plumerfell in ln« address u few days ago before Ilie Canadian Club at Vaueouver. Mr. Plumerfell was a member uf the Poreal Commieeion which mil,milled a report io the provincial government which was declared lu he uf a general excel leiice never exceeded aud sel,lum equalled in Hie annals uf auch cum miaaiona, an,I line likewise made a spe cial atudy uf furest condition* over an extended period. II .- utterances there fore take rank as Ihoae uf a apecialist un this great problem. Mr. Plumerfell stated the poaition in forceful manner in Hie following words: "Hrilish Columbia's whole future hinges upun Hie witoliim of her forest policy I am forcei lu Ihe firm, de liberate conn,Hon thnt lhe surcrss or failure, Hie progress or stagnation, in deed Hie very destiny ut II C. ia sn interlaced with, ami, therefore nisepar able frum our forest policy, that il rests an,! ilependa upon it." Ilia further development uf Ins theme thus staled, shall with the furests as a fumlamenlel neceaaily to provincial welfare, uul only frum the standpoint uf the timber supply, bill alsu becauae uf their eascntial r/utiunsliip tu the preservation and the perpetuation uf Hie water supply. "Tbe Purest," he declared, "is nature's reeervoir, tbe only eourre, except tlio glacier uf regu lar water supply, end it i* the regular ily of supply thai i> the foundation of musl human prosperity in e country such as ours." This regular ami plenli ful water supply was rleerly shown to stand In vital relationship i„ require inenta fur duineatic end civic porposes, to industrial prosperity In providing cheep power etc., tu agrn ullulnl devel upment proNiding means of irrigation fur farm produce, fruit raising end stock, to our liberies by providing the atreema 10 he frequented by salmon fur lhe preservation uf the species end tu olher liilerceta which contribute to the general prosperity ead well being of Ibe people. Viewed in lie eaacntial features aa thus deliaeeted Ihere is ample jiiNhlnaiion for the assertion made above that the very destiny uf J!riTiih Columbia rests and depends upon our forret policy. The grave lni|iortence, therefore, of the forest leglalation Introduced in the house l,y Hun, W. K. lioaa, Minister of Lands, liecumre reedily epparent.

Contrary, to ilie usual practice llic Assessment Notices for 1912 have been sent lo lhe registered owners of properly according lo llic Land Registry records. Up lo the present, purchasers have been in lhe habil of notifying lhe cily authorities lhal lhe property had changed hands so lhal notices of assessment and taxation should nol go astray. I his form of registration of owners has heretofore been deemed sufficient for cily purposes, bul owing lo a recent decision lhe city council is advised by lis solicitors lo recognise these owners only who appear on lhe records of lhe Land Rcgislry Office. Unfortunately a great many never register their deeds or agreements. The Norlli Vancouver Land and Improvemenl Company has received numerous assessment notices for 1912 for properly which it has told and which has since changed hands Iwo or three limes. The Company, therefore, desires lo notify persons who have purchased from it that they should take steps to ensure notices of assessment and taxation being sent lo ihem to that they may Income aware of lhe value at which ihey are being assessed and pay taxes as they fall due.
