We do not see how  any self resjiecting person could dc  otherwise.    It seems,  from a careful  [analysis of the, muss of extraneous matter which has been written on the occurence, that the Vatican would grant  the Colonel an audience only on condition   that  he  under  take  not  to  ad  j dress or vlBlt any person or organizations which were not in sympathy with  the Vatican, or 1'h other words Col  Roosevelt hud Hist to acknowledge that  che Papal authorities ��������� were supreme  the lives of all.

This is    without    doubt    the  greatest  problem  facing the  city  tOK  day, or that has been faced for some  time past.   The present council should  be congratulated on their   efforts,  to  clear  this  vexed question  up.    It  is  how   up  to  the  citizens.      And   the  blame of any further delays will rest  on them. We publish in another column  ah able article by Pro.

W'tiat iajteeessary Is a careful  dispassionate review   of   tho   whole  question.    First,   carefully  take   into  consideration all the changed  conditions resulting from the advent, of the  Great Northern and Northern Pacific:  nd from the expressed intention of the'  Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk Paei  flic and  Minneapolis.    St.    Paul    and  others.    Then ask the question,    "lb  this area more valuable as  land for  terminal   railway   purposes   or   as   a  channel to land sand and gravel and  small.freight?"     "It.   is   desirable   to  have  all   our   freight  and   passenger  terminal* ia one locality or scattered  all ove*r the city?   "Would the travet-  4iK public and the merchants get better  service, by having them   together   or  otherwise?" - "If we do not. use this  for railway and industrial sites where  shall we put them?"   These, and other  pertinent questions mttst be answered  by the electorate. We recommend the  most   careful   consideration   of   these  problems  and   let our  decision   be  a  sane one.  Notice of the introduction of a bye-  law to change the name of Westminster avenue to Main street has  been given by Aid. Stevens of Ward  five.  ��������� It has long been felt by many that  the name of this avenue should be  changed. It conflicts with Westminster road and is very confusing to  strangers or visitors, Then again the  name is a very long one and' it is always advisable to have a short and  descriptive name for a prominent  street.  Westminster avenue is destined to  become the chief business street of  the city. It divides the city in two  running north ami south from Burtard  street to the Fraser River in an unbroken line. It is also one of the few  wide streets in the city.  We agree with the Alderman that  'Main Street" is a suitable name for  this thoroughfare and hope the citizens  will support this improvement.

Every citizen of British Columbia  should bend every effort to give as  much publicity as possible to the  needs and possibilities of this Province. Only yesterday au easterner  called at our office and staled that he  could get all the money he wanted at  5 per cent, in Ontario, that he himself  had a lot loaned at that rate, giving  as the reason the fact that the people  there did not really comprehend the  opportunities  offered  by  B.

The following dispatch is copied  from the World of Tuesday last and  we reprint it to show the importance  of this need:  LONDON. April 5.���������(World's Special  Service)���������In reference to the complaint of British Columbian papers that  English investors prefer speculating  in rubber to financing the British Columbia fruit industry, which is more  xeliaWe and equaliy profitable, rhe  Finnacial Press says that the people  if'Great Britain are. as yet. uneducated in the marvelous progress made  by the fruit bell of British Columbia,  but there is no dislike to investment  in. British colonies as has been suggested. ��������� :  Ui. MINING  Perhaps it is safe to say that fifteen  to twenty per cent, of the population  of British Columlla are directly or indirectly engaged in and dependent; upon mining. No other Province of the  Dominion of Canada has made so remarkable progress in this industry, as  has the Pacific province, when time  and population are taken into the account.  There are so many mining districts  and mines of nearly all.the minerals,  that one scarcely knows how to. view  the subject, to advantage. Vancouver  Island; Queen Charlotte Islands. Portland Canal. Oraineca. Cariboo, Lil-  loette. Slocan. Nelson, RoBSland, Bound  ary and other parts of the province  are well known not only .In Canada  and the United States but also in all  other parts of the civilized world.  We who are not engaged In mining  are very apt to fall in our appreciation of the valuable and enterprising  work of the prospectors, miners, and  mine promoters, most of whom aftei  years of hard plodding and self-sacrificing labours, fail in the end and pas*  away from the scene of action, leaving  little more than a memory among their  cQ-labovourers and co-sufferers.  No men in British Columbia are-|  move worthy of recognition, admiration  and honour, than the minings classes.  The brave venterous men who with a  small outfit on their backs, set out on  a long summer's tramp among the  mountains and rocks in: search of  wealth, are truly among; the best and  most heroic of our nation builders. It  is needless to dwell upon the to.il, endurance, hardship, loneliness and con-  stant dangers which accompany and  surround these brave fellows. But it is  a fart that when sucfi hardship and  suffering are expeiienced by our soldiers' in any part of the vfor'd, we.  quickly praise: and honour them without stint. And perhaps the making ot  a country is about as ? important as  protecting a country..HV'ere-.it-not iiiad?  it would . not need protecting. And  well do we know that without tbe prospector and miner Bitish Columbia  would be very much in the raw today.  Therefore let us in our hearts, and  by more visible means show our appreciation of these pioneers of civilization and country conquest.  The syndicator and company promoter are a class by themselves, and  though, like some prospectors and  other men. are not always honest,  still I am free to say that, a large  proportion of these men are as reliable  as the average Canadian business man.  This is saying much, for no nation on  earth has a larger percentage of Te7  liable, honourable, upright, business  men than Canadian can produce. While  we know well of "wild-cat schemes"  and many, cases, of misrepresentation,  yet we do know that honesty and business intergrity have prevailed largely  in the history of mining in this province.  Now for another phase of this matter. This is the economic aspect Lumbering, fishing, farming, railwaying,  shipping, manufacturing and financing  are very important.

But since they are Cod, he asks them to  pay him for making God better. He may take out the word God and put in  his pet word "Infinity."  Read, the following rubbish on page 49: "The whole appalling tale of  cosmic suffering can be compressed luithin'the limits of the individual consciousness which has endured the most." "Cosmic suffering!" What does  he mean by "cosmic suffering?" Humanity has some knowledge of human  and animal suffering, beyond which all is ignorance. No man knows whether  plants, stones, mud-puddles, worlds, suns, meteoric dust and comets' tails  suffer or noL "Cosmic" is good, for it pleases "The City Temple," but  related to suffering it has no known meaning beyond animal suffering. Then  why use cosmic)    Might as well say geometric.  "The whole tale of cosmic suffering can be compressed." etc. Why  compress the "tale?" Tale in this connection means story or account. The  whole account "can be compressed within the limits of the individual consciousness which has endured the most." I suspect he means to say that all  suffering has been, is, and will be experienced, felt and understood;.by,the  individual consciousness which has endured the most. He would then defend  himself by saying: Jesus endured the most and "therefore," as above. But  he would go farther and say Jesus, like Campbell, is God, and therefore He,  God^or "Infinity," can gather;up all the appalling tale of cosmic suffering..  Since all is God, and nothing but God can exist in the universe, therefore God  suffers all cosmic and other pain. But as there is no evil, this suffering is good,  which, when boiled down, means there is no cosmic or other suffering.  Rubbish! ���������  Therefore, le! God 'go ahead and continue to suffer the appalling cosmic  "tale."    But Campbell is God as per his own statement, therefore he carries  the whole cosmic "tale," or tail, of pain, a veritable pain carrier.    His whole  teaching in all the foregoing is Pantheistic in purpose, and stupid folly in fact.  Page 51:    "The life  (of the stag killed by tlie hounds)  returns to  the soul of the universe."    Let soul mean life; then he says the life of the  tag returns to universal  life, and. of course, stag stands for all animals.  Therefore animals die and their lives go out to the universal soul or, life.    As  all is God, the stag is a bit of God. and therefore the stag-God, or God-stag.  dies, and its soul or life merges into and is lost in the universal god-soul.  Pantheism!    Stupid City Templars!    Dullard Londoners!  Page 87: "For the infinite must be that outside of which nothing exists  or can exist!" Of what infinite is he talking? Infinite time? Infinite extension as of a straight line? Infinite area as of the extension of a geometrical  surface? Infinite space? Infinie force? Infinite number? Infinite substance?    Infinite gravitation?    Infinite mind or spirit^ or infinite humbug?  If he, or it, be any of these, or another not mentioned in the above list,  then I ask does the particular "infinite" meant by him preclude the existence  >f��������� any or all the others? Does infinite space preclude infinite time? Of  course not! Does infinite space preclude infinite substance?' Of course not.  Does infinite space preclude infinite spirit or mind? Of course not.  Then wherein does Campbell's infinite preclude all other infinities and  finites)  Does any one of the above infinites preclude finite power/space, time,  substance, extension, area, or other unlimited or limited thins? Of course not!  Now, then, wherein can Campbell make his statement good, or reasonable, even in a superficial way? There is one ponble method. ' He must  make his infinite include all other infinites and finities. H������ infinite roust be  composed of infinite space, time, extension, superficial and lineal, force, substance, spirit and all else.  f3$en;tbii 'n^ley'1f|wji>otti$, complex infinity includes, embraces absolutely all; and then'of such we can fairly reasonably say: "I he infinite is  hat outside of which nothing exists or can exist." If this be his meaning, it  ,s not even original and is expressed in a most hazy manner. It comes to  mean that all that is, is; or there is nothing else than that which is.  Of course, this is his Pantheism, put in language differing horn his many j  other statements to which I have referred.  And to put it in ordinary language he says practically this: Take the  entire universe and all contained and call it infinity; then tht.-c can be nothing  else. A twelve-year-old child could easily say this. He could say of his  iwelve marbles: "I have them all in ray pocket, therefore uoae oi them is out  af my pocket.  However, Campbell is not talking tlie every day talk cf the boy or man.  on the street. He is kite-flying. He is flying higher and striving to float;$fi  realms of ^absolute thought. Hence to make good, even in appean.uce7 hfc  -nust perch on the Pantheistic doctrine in which he makes infinity contain and'  mean all infinities.  Page 87:    "We know, too, that to our experience, the universe is finite  We can measure, weigh and analyse it, an impossible thing, to do with an  nfinite substance\,    How silly!     How incomplete!     How  contradictory a  statement!  We know nothing of the sort. We do not, and cannot measure it. We  lo not know it is finite. Our experience has nothing to do with the infinite  lature of the universe. Now, once more, I shall say for the author what he  ias failed to say for himself.  He means that we. with our finite minJs, can measure, can weigh, can  analyse a very small part of the universe and the part we so measure, weigh  ���������.nd analyse is finite, just this ar.d cthir.g more!

With Campbel'.  hange is imperf'-tioc. Rather odd: It rosy sort the City T'������cple. I wwi''  ay that a universe without change is -'mperfectioc; and would not. could nc  complete universe.

A running world or universe is my idea of a com  ���������let? or perfect world or universe." Campbell must meet the needs of th-  Jity Temple, which is dead.  But I must push the author further here.    He has already told us tha'  here can be nothing but God.    God is all.    Now if so. wherein can the un  erse of change, which is God, be imperfect?   Campbell talks tco much.    Ii  'he universe and .Gcd are synonymous, then wherein can either change or non-  .hange argue imperfection?    If so. then he lands us and himself with an its  erfect and therefore an improvable God.  And the funny part cf his argument is this, that to make God perfect  e should change not, net move; just be like a mud god,"that it to say, he  houid be a dead god.  Yet again!

The evolution of this earth, of all worlds,  ���������>f the universe is a persistent, complex movement totrards perfection. This  :s the doctrine in a nutshell.

This property comprises 20 mineral oil locations,  containing in all 3,080 acres. This ground is near  San Diego, which city affords not only a good local  market for oil products, but also good shipping  facilities, and the property is favorably situated  for the construction of a gravity pipe line to the  harbor at a minimum cost.  On this field, the' geological formations, the seepages and surface indications cannot be excelled in  California, and its value is the more assured by its  being in direct line with producing areas, having  identical formations.  So favorable were the reports on this particular  property, that, after a personal inspection by members of the Directorate, as large an area as possible  was secured, and arrangements made for> the commencement of developmnt work.  THE BEAVER OIL COMPANY, organ:  ized to carry out the work of developing this property, is registered under the laws of California, to  do business hi that State. It is capitalized at  $2,000,000 in ONE DOLLAR shares. There  is no "preferred" or "promotion" stock, and the  Company commences operations with its valuable  property and plant entirely unencumbered.  All charges for prospecting, inspection and ac  quiring of this large acreage, the purchase and installation of an up-to-date steam drilling plant, together with all costs connected with company organization, have been met by the Syndicate Membership. \.  It is proposed to issue to the public small blocks  of stock, as the requirements of the work will warrant. The first of these is for only 50,000 shares,  and, considering the valuable assets of the Company, the price is exceptionally low. These shares  are fully paid up and non-assessable, the management reserving the right to increase the price, without notice, on any shares that are not taken up.  Later issues will be placed at higher figures.  Bim't jRtstakr Us  We are selling thisstock at a low figure with the  object of proving thevaiue of the Company's prop  erty as quickly as possible. When we have  developed the oil in a payingquantity. there will be  no stock issued to the public at any price.  We are convinced that we have in this property  and its development the best opportunity for great  things in the way of business that ever knocked at  our door, and we are backing up this conviction  with our money. If you wish to have a part in  this enterprise and to share the opportunity with us,  now is the time to get in on ground floor prices.  With the advent of our first strike, every acre  of our holding will jumpin value to at least $2,000  per acre. The prices now being paid in Southern  California for semi-developed oil lands are sufficient warrant for the estimate that the Beaver  Oil Company's stock will soon be held at a price far  exceeding its par value.  The Midway oil field in Kern County, is probably the liveliest spot in the United States today,  all on account of the great oil wells recently brought  in there. Lands that were not worth $5 an acre  six months ago are now selling at $2,000 per acre  and upwards. One of the new wells is producing  $6,500 worth of oil every 24 hdurs.  u% (Affinal (6r ultiuiral *rpnrt  refers most favorably to the San Diego district as  an oil area.  G. W. Magwood, Esq., geological expert, is one  of the latest to add testimony to the prospective  richness of this field. After spending several weeks  - -in the-district investigating the oil conditions, he  insists that this point is destined to become one of  the greatest oil producing centres of the West.  Further. "I have given ten years to the geological  study of formation stratas, and anticlinals of the  different oil fieldt of this State, and have been in  ��������� every field that is to any extent developed, and find  that the oil belt is continuous from Monterey to  the Gulf of California." and "where the big producers are, the formation follows the Coast." Referring particularly to the ground between Del Mar  and Otay (in which the Beaver Oil Company's  land is situated), he states that "the oil strata can  be traced in a line approximately the same distance  inland, and the conditions are evidence that there  are great lakes of oil. OF WHICH THE  GREATEST LIES BETWEEN DELMAR  AND OTAY MESA." In this district the expert finds all the favoring conditions, the lime,  shale, oil sand, fossils, gypsum, sulphur and oil  breaking through, to justify the belief of the existence here of the greatest pool of oil in the State  of California.

When  the valley Is worked out, the plant,  buildings, rubbish heaps and Itavings  are worthless to the country.  Tbe gold goes to a land where they  manufacture all sorts of articles of  Sold, including the mint; while Canada  'ets the ten millions go forever and  does without the gold factories, tbe  mint and the the goid coinage.  It is a disgrace to Canada to have  so much gold in her mines and while  this metal is carried into foreign lands  to their immense advantage, to pursue  such a course as to be without ;��������� single  factory, without  a mint and  without  sthictlng approBches thereto, and will  Canadian gold coin  pay ore-half of .the cost of construction  of sucb overhead crossi.ig and ap-  pjjoaches thereto, and will pay one-half  di-the cost of construction of such  overhead crossing and anproches. and  aftw consents to tbe City extending tbe  frf'owing streets by overhead crpsrin?B  t/i 'he outer boundary of tbe Railway's  Company's property, lamely: First  grenue and Carolina street, or'suc-b  Other streets as the t'i*y may select in  lif:i thereof The Railway Company  also consent to tbe extension of Bound-  fry avenue southerly to G'en D.riTe and  to the extension of Fifth avenue west-  ey'y to Boundary avenue.  10.

WILI.M.VI   JAMR*  .ANNANH  Dated this 18th day of February. 1910.  V  No-matter what plan or plans are'  followed by the railways, piivate  owners, and the City of Vancouver^  there is one fundamental proposition  hat should never be overlooked.  This is the providing a channel in  the center of the present waterway,  from Westminster avenue bridge to the  East end. It is irionceivable to me. how.  any body o pibul'elcni;ryf ..Nwoaofs  a knowledge of large sea-port cities,  could for: one moment entertain any  plan looking forwards bulk-heading  False Creek at or near Westminster  avenue, and then filling up that splendid body of water. I have seen most  of tlie world's great cities, and I can recall none with a more valuable water-  gift in the very heart of and center  of population, than Vancouver has in  this large area.  There is plenty of room for railway  yards out-east of the city, south of  the city, and even north of the city,  without spoiling yea even throwing:  away tlii: gieut gift of nature.  Railways yarn, site for industries  axain t-.erators and unlimited ground  for ail sorts of purposes, can be had ad  jacent to Vancouver without destroying a natural harbour, worth many millions to the city now and In the  future.  Scarcely a  larsve city on earth, depend! ;g upon *ii tr privileges, .would  dream of thus acting iu relation to an  assest of a value, present aim prospe  tive, so important.  Vancouver needs this basin, or i.;  least a good part of it for small "water-  craft, such as barges, scows, steamers  for coasting and river freight, and .$11  such vessels as are needed to act as  lighters, carrying cargo.from seagoing  vessels to factoiies and warehouses  such as must be ia the future built it)  large numbers around the east end ol  False Creek.  The populas east of this city, in the  liture as well as now requires small  vater craft to. bring close to Clarke  )rive and the lower ends of all the  -streets running at right angles there:  -������, supplies as are needed.  '  As   it   is   now   all   the   fr< i bt,   all  uiidtis supplies, all express work, and  In fact practically everything needing  elivery  by  man or beast, exact exj.  ��������� ra" charges.   Coal, for instance, cos^s  talf a dollar a ton more because of the  iong haul.  What is needed badly is water cont-  uunication as closely, to tbe east end  s pos:-ihle.   The city council two years  igo acted wisely with this end in view,  and   Alderman   Hepburn   almost  suc-  eeded in having such an ariansement  uade with the property    owners    as  vould have resulted in this wis>> provi  don for the future.  Colonel   Tracey's   plan   formed   th-.  basis of the negoti-Uons, and if some  such plan were followed    now,    thei:  ample provision would be ninde to suit  all the varied interests, and no part o-  i*r.  oity   would   have  cause   to  com]  plain.  i-.i  t    As 1 said at the beginning, and as I  have contended- tor twenty one years."  the basic plan should be to hold *  ) rge, broad aud deep chantei for sraal;  untl medium water craft at least. Tlia-  channel should run from the bridge t<  the east end of the creek.  It is to be hoped that the present  ���������ouncil and people will not fail now  io provide for the future, in harmony  with this splendid gift of nature. \V<  must provide for a population of mi  Ions,   rather   than   for   present   awy  -reedy,   and   insatiable   railway   corporations,   whether   they   be   foreign  i homemade.  that such a thing could happen today is  almost unbelieveable.  It is, however, only an accentuated  case of what we do every day in our  police courts. We condemn men for  being broke and confine theni in a  prison cell and literally and actually  make criinnals of them. We make no  effort'to.remedy tlie cause of the misdemeanor, and ciass all offenders as  criminals, merely graduating the degree of punishment.

Here is one of the spots in the  fruitful area of human guesswork where explorers' and ���������waiters' imaginations  have run wild. So far, with close care and examination, I have neither read  nor heard of anything that approximately satisfies my mind concerning the  ancient dates given by explorers and many writers.  And until some fair proof is found I propose to challenge the above and  simiiar statements by the author and other writers.   ��������� -���������  Page 49. "Jesus was God, but so are we." God is one, is indivisible  and unmodifiable. Jesus and we are separate entities or units, each a definite  ; person. If Jesus and we are God, God is made up of many parts and persons and is therefore changeable and divisible.  But if all things are God, and" there "can be nothing in the universe but  God." we once again arrive at the same old pantheism. In this particular.  Campbell is fairly consistent with h;mself. "Jesus is God. So are we." He  say? Jesus is God. Campbell is God. Why not go one better or further forward and say therefore Campbell is Jesus? This would suit the City. Temple,  begrimed with fog, smoke and noise.  Page 109. "We can rise towards Him by trusting, living and serving  Him: and by so. doing we shall demonstrate thai we too are Christ, the eternal  Son."    Yes, here it is.    Campbell is Jesus.      , <    " The first half of this otiotation is fusible ard is i*������ ha>rno*v with good  "eachin?������. but the latter part is idle talk.    Here is where Campbell brings us:������������������  "Jesus was God:   so are we."  "We too are Chirst. the Eternal Son."  "There can be rothing in the universe bul God." v  How many therefores we might use here.    Let me use one or two: /  Therefore Campbell is God and tb**re is none else. 7  Therefore I am God and Campbell is pon-existent.  Therefore Campbell and, I are one'and I ant that one ad lib el ad nauseam. ' 4     ���������'   ��������� ��������� :>,��������� '  Paqe 109. "Sin is but the failure to ������-������*alize it." It means We^re  Chirst, the External Son. To nut it r.learljr: "Sin is but the failure to realize  'hat w������* are Christ, the Eternal Son."  If this be "sin" then sinners are numerous, and are likelv io.be:    Fur  "her, if this be sin. or rather if "sin be the failure to realize it," then sin is  iot a very bad thing.    A good many think sin is something else and very  ,-HrTerenf.    Some go so far as to assert that "sin is the transgression of law.*'  But I must pull up the City'Temple author with a jerk. If we are  Christ, if Christ is God, if we are God, and if there can be. nothing in the universe but God. wherein is th������������re anv sin, anv trans������res������'on, any "failure to  ���������eahze it"? The City Temple surely must be proud of its pet, of its book-  -naker.    Ah. surely!    Yea, verily!  He owht to know long ere this that pantheism, has no rooirf for sin  Bright City Templars!  Page III. "Of which, will be the ..glorious return and triumphant in  gathering of a redeemed and perfectly unified humanity to God." ,  In this he teaches that all humanity will be saved. In dealing with the  particular phase of speculative theolosry iand intense dogmatism, he for the mof  -nent forgets he is a pantheist. Pantheism says there is no humanity to be re-'  leemed. since there was no humanity lost.  Humanity, beinc God, and humanity Veins: Jesus, His eternal Son, never  was, ror ever can be lost.    Hence redemption is a myth.  However, from the every-day standpoint of ordinary thought and pood  sense. I do pot find fault with the belief that all mankind will, in the end be  ������aved; but do not find this doctrine definitely taught in the scriptures. And  further in Campbell's special brand of monerel pantheism there is no room  for finding <*r 'osinw mankind, here or hereafter.  ,. Page I 40;    "To fulfill the self we must give self to the all."  There cannot be in this vast universe a finite being known as "self," and  at the same time another being known as the "all," if all be used in the ordinary sense.  And we must keep in mind in this connection that Campbell holds that  there cannot be in this universe any being outside of God. And his "all" is  God. bri if better, God is "all." If so, then there is no other, no "self" as  used in the above ^quotation.  -Hence no "self* has just about the same power to "give to the all" as  has zero.  Concerning the "atonement," he says on page 113: "The psychological  should take precedence of the historical."  Yes and no. Sometime one and at other times the other should take  precedence.  But concerning the. atonement, the historical must go first.  The student, critic, philosopher, theologian, psychologist, mental and  moral scientist of today must take the historic first, and after he has secured  his data, real data, data coming by well attested historic evidence, then, and  not till then.is he able to proceed with his psychologic researches and speculations. Campbell has put the horse behind the cart. But-he does so to clear  the ground for his pet ikon, his mental idol, pantheism. And as he makes the  old horse shove the old cart up the hill, the old City Temple bows in dumb  adoration.  Page 153. "Sin itself is a quest for God." In such case sin is a good  leligious step. A man steals his neighbor's pet lamb. Good! Very good!  In this act he is questing, seeking God. A man murders his wife. Excellent!  He quests God. The private life of a man. who in public makes sin a religious, a virtuous act. a quest for God. is well worth examination.  A heavy cloud rests somewhere. There is room for doubt, for strong  suspicion. A man who truly believes such teaching would perjure himself unhesitatingly. On same page���������"Men in their blank atheism, in their foul blasphemies are engaged in this dim blundering quest for God.'*  If Campbell were a dirty Tom Paine, or a filthy Voltaire, or a drunken  atheistic libertine and a bar-room loafing sot, I could read the above "blundering" folly without a chill: but to read such words emanating from the City  Temple oracle is to get a jar, a shock. And again I ask, is the man a fool,  a Hyde-lekyll, juggler, a libertine?  A kind forebearing public may say my language is not Christian, not  kind, not refined.  When I go to the zoological gardens and see a skunk I call it a skunk;  a hyena I call a hyena: a snake a snake; a filthy toad a toad; and in like manner when I meet a featherless biped spitting, spewing, and raving in the human  garden, I give him a name to suit his acts.  And I hereby affirm that I have no knowledge of any religious writer  who spews out more folly, and blasphemous lunacy than the one under con-  ! sideratiory  ! Moreover he and his fiddling followers cannot object to my language,  land call me blasphemous; for I at once answer and say that if "foul blas-  ': phemies" are a sign of a "quest after God." then my very mild statements.  I as above given, must be a sign that on my part the "quest" is about or altogether ended and God is found by me. I must have found Him,, if sin. and  | blasphemy are an index to a auest after a search for God. Hence I say  ; Campbell and his friends should take no exception to my statements.  And then from Campbell's pantheistic standpoint it is utter senselessness  to talk of seeking or-.questing after God, by means of "foul blasphemy"; for  in such a case God is;on a quest after himself. ;:\-  I  City Telephones 514  and 2855  Eburne Telephone 24  kiMMMMMM  Specials at  W.

Factories Must Come to Vancouver  "���������"Ira fiv-e years" is the official announcement of the Vancouver Information and  Tourist Association, "Vancouver should become the greatest manufacturing centre  in Western Canada and in the Lifetime of many now living, one of the foremost on  thi������ ���������������MrtSawynt.  But this will not eoine to pass without .effort. Despite our unrivalled natural  advantages, if the people of this generation want to see here "a forest of tult  chinrn-eys."' in their time, they will have to get busy.  --������������������Other--cities~-are- not sleeping on their opportunities or making a secret--of -then*  advantages. The biggest and most prosperous, as well as the younger, among  them are reaching out for things that wil! do them good���������and are getting them.  Va.Tieoirver should do the same���������and do it now. Delay in this, as in most other  matters, is dangerous. Cities could be named whose phenomenal early progress  obscured the need of such action. But the need existed, none the less, and the  cities in question reaped the harvest of their neglect of it in an abrupt cessation of  groAvtSi and shrinkage of realty values and revenue that had nothing to.justify them  in   what  were  practically  non-producing communities."  This Company, under the. most experienced management possible to obtain, and  hacked by business men of Vancouver of the highest integrity and ability, men  whose lives have been spent in the advancement of our Province, will endeavor to  put into practical operation the aspirations of the citizens in bringing about this  era of commercial and industrial activity. In this space, from time to time, an-  rin;n: ���������encnts .of the organization or reorganization of manufacturing concerns will  be made. Hi'd our representatives will call upon the investing public of the Province, showing in more detail than is possible by .advertisement, the opportunity  which Ihese commercial propositions offer to the conservative investor, giving absolute security and at the same time advancing the interests of our City and Province.  Every proposition', either for Organization er Investment, will be carefully considered, and the sn:all investor will receive the same eourteuas attention as the  capitalist.

Just  why one's daintest and prettiest  clothes should be saved for what is  really a stable is beyond nie. but so  are the stars and the comets. Apropos  of the Horse Show and pretty ;������:lothes.  it might seem in keeping with dressing up tor the several thousand visitors  who will be here, to remove some of  the unsightly bill boards with which oui  streets are adorned. In one of the  eastern cities there has been for  several years' a society for keeping  beautiful gardens. Vacant lots  become flower gardens, rubbish  and trash being kept out of sight.  Tbe children are trained to pick up  papers and pet them in boxes provided  by the city. Prizes are given each  year for the most artistic gardens.  The owners of vacant lots in Vancouver should be compelled to* keep  them tidy. A few pennies in flower  seed of a hardy sort and two hours  a week would send strangers away  with a longing to return. Westminster  avenue will soon be made over and  Westminster avenue can set the pace  in showing an attractive street to tbe  eity, if those living on it all wake up  slightfully.. Slount Pleasant is one of  the prettiest spots in Vancouver and  this spring the time can be no better  employed than in making the streets  clean and interesting. Housekeepsrs  who are hot accustomed to living in a  city are careless about barning refuse. A little practice in remembering  the Are is meant (or trash and system-  actially putting everything burnable in  the stove will help solve the garbage  problem for the city, and the city  fathers might assist by declaring bill  boards and posters a nusicence.'  There is a new white cloth made  from the fibre of pineapple that embroideries easily and laundries beautifully, being shown in the shops. It  wears rather well aud will make de-  ligbt'ul summer blouses.  "Made of broderie Anglaise, with a  flounce of plnmeti's embroidery, lined  with Paisley:borded grasshopper green  Ninon, with a belt of green taffetas."  needs an uptodate Lingursit to decipher. Apueot satin, draped with  chiffon, or white satin draped with silver tissue would probably look as  sweet for evening wear, provided the  girl were pretty. The old Paisley borders are beautiful as triming. and combine well with many materials. Some  of the summer skirts wil be made with  the old fashioned flounce, and others  have a tunic or others drapery. These  draperies are as many as three deep,  and some models consisting of the  satin foundation, chiffon and lace.  The shot silk will need little trimming and well make street gowns for  warmer days. Foulards and Shantings  will" divide honors, white - dots; -and  small checks and small designs wil be  most chic. The United States artists  just now are amusing tliemeslves with  starting American fashions. Paris being  no longer needed to give the American  ladies ideas in dress! The American  woman are clever���������but it takes French  or English women xo design a gown  without the "home made" air, and  endowed art is not good art, they say.  Among the new colors, a golden tan,  or as it is called Chandron, then there  is a lime green, and rose Pommpadour,  a beautiful old rose.  Above all try to plan your clothes so  you will not. always look back upon  this time as the saddest spot in life.
