It cost South Vancouver $50. Councillor Winram had agreed with the owner of a 25 foot lot to rough clear same, and pay besides $50 for an easement through said lot for a box drain. Councillor Thomas brought ;his knowledge of municipal law to beai^ upon,this case, and objected on the ground that it".was" not legal for the council to clear that lot. Councillor Gold sustained Councillor Thomas, but agreed to pay $100". for an easement without any condition as to rough clearing. " ^ . The owner was tickled to death at the pro- posaFbf the Old War Horse, and the Babe, because it was just $50 more into his pocket. It transpires that on account of one large stump,' covering the whole width of the lot* the council will have to rough clear the lot anyhow, and pay $100 instead of $50 for easement besides. Thereupon Reeve Dickie suggested that when a municipal solicitor was appointed the legal mind of Councillor Thomas would gain a much needed rest. . v ' / - Councillor Thomas - replied that the .voters had put him there because of his superior legal acumen. Upon which Reeve, Dickie w%s kind enough' to remark that '"he was beginning to thing the ratepayers of Ward Three had made a mistake." - \��������� '>���������;.;/. This is one little incident that shows the"way the time of the council i*; being -wasted and money fittered away. |< ��������� . ; , ; Reeve Dickie has declared tbat V$ie copy, of -���������evidence given-at-'the-Crehau^nvefrtnifntioft, so ardently desired, by Councillor Gold, < will* be $150' worth of uselessness." ��������� - The Western Call, agrees with Reeve Dickie,, and desires once again! to point out that three months have now passed since the election and not one of all the outrageous charges made by Mr. Gold and others on the election platform have been sustained; and more serious still.that work in the municipality���������that but for the flagitious opposition of Mr. Gold would have been in steady progress, giving "much needed employment to 600 men has been and is still held- up. Nothing whatever has been gained or can be gained'by a continuance of the "fool" policy that had at first blush such an appearance of wisdom. Vulgar rudeness is not business smartness,' and the Reeve is right when he demands decency and self respect on the council. The folly of the "two-handed sword" policy of Councillor Gold is being exemplified every week. The Qbinese -laundry- dilemma -caused by the granting' of a building permit by the new Building Inspector, without consulting the council, is but one instance of the failure of the Gold policy. The dismissal of efficient officials and clerks in the different departments and the replacing of them by men unfamiliar with the work will cost the municipality dear to say nothing of the ugly precedent laid down.

There were and are many difficulties attached to the cleaning up of Mexico, but difficulties are no sufficient reason for neglect of duty. The chief difficulty���������and the one that' has perhaps chiefly retarded action in this instance is "What to do with Mexico after she has been conquered?" - .. To add a population of from 15 to 18, millions in contiguous territory to the United States is to bring about a vote problem there that may well call for hesitation.- Spaniards, Indians, Greasers (half-breeds), all more or less under the domination of Rome and capable of being combined with the present Ronton vote in U- S. ������^nd holding completely the balance of power there, just as, Rome, through Irish Nationalism, holds the balance of power today in Britain. This is a consummation that United* States has long dreaded, and which really wrought the overthrow of "The Plumed Knight,"' (James G. Blaine)', when he posed before the American people as the advocate of a United North: America. ��������� But no matter what the difficulties in sight��������� "the United4jjates should long ago have shouldered "The White Man's Burden," and set Mexico in order/',;-'. V Now, with Hawaia, Porto Rico, Cuba, the Phillipines and Mexico���������the young, strong, able Republic in America takes her place alongside the weary Titon in the Island Kingdom in bringing decency and peace to countries that have long known neither. '"���������"Peace if we have to fight for it," has long been Britain's motto. America has now taken her place fully among the. nations of the earth, and because she is of our:V,blood and genius she will take-up the cry, nor be deterred by those in her midst who think that cowardice is holiness, and fighting in a just cause, sin. President Wilson by his very goodness of disposition and character has been led to delay too long, but will, we believe; do the work more thoroughly now that he has begun- The military task of subduing Mexico wilL not be easy, and may be tremendously complicated by the Central and South American Republics mak ing common cause with Mexico. When the dogs of war are unleashed it is never safe to say where they may run. But the U. S. has been-quietly preparing for the task for many months, and has doubtless, through diplomatic channels secured the assent of the Powers interested so that the area of conflict will be restricted. "������ The real task will be the pacifying of the conquered people, and will present some intensely interesting problems for solution. Mexican War Affects Senate Washington, April 23. One result of the outbreak of the Mexican war and the energetic action of President Wilson will be the passing of the repeal bill on canal tolls by the Senate with an^ overwhelming majority. A majority of 16 seemed to be assured in any case, but what has taken place in Mexico has convinced the Senate, and the House as well, that the President was justified in recommending the repeal. The heart of the President's message to. Congress on the tolls was: "I ask this of you in support of the foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know how to. deal with other matters of even greater delicacy, and nearer consequences if you do not grant it to me-in ungrudging measure." , Patriotism has now supplanted partisanship- With the outbreak of war with' Mexico it is imperative that the United States should be on such terms with other powers as to prevent any of them taking advantage of our pre-occupation. Great Britain is evidently the key to the situation. If Britain shall frown on any European combine against the United States or upon any atempt of Japan to force our hands with respect to alien lan^d laws, we will not be disturbed in our thankless task of restoring peace and order in Mexico. It is imperative that the United States should have the confidence and good will of. the civilized world at the present juncture. There can be no question that the entire civilized world has been against us in the matter of Canal Tolls. The speedy passing of the Repeal Bill by the Senate will do more to re-establish us in the good will of the nations than any action that could now be taken. ' PUTT AGAINST ULSTER The zone of intense excitement hta changed V- once again.' Little is heard from Ulster,'bat, the,.; battle waxes hotter at Westminster. Passionate^/ charges and counter charges are being hurled' ' back and forth, and Bonnar Law, the leader of t the opposition, has deliberately/and pointedly ac- / cused the premier of making false statements. "*- ,>,_' It is exceedingly difficult, at tflis distance* to-* form any distinct opinion as to the right and ;_ wrong of the parliamentary situation, but from \' the White paper issued by the Government this > week it is quite apparent that orders were given * for the despatch of His Majesty's forces without ; the consent or knowledge of Premier Asquith," and that when he became aware of such orders he : suggested that they be countermanded, winch suggestion was as we all know carried out by' -wireless. The alleged "Plot against Ulster" is stated' and re-stated time and again with such accom- . panying detail of incident that the refusal to ap-* point a judicial commission- of enquiry to take ~~ evidence under oath will convince those favoring Ulster's cause that these accusations are true. In the meantime expressions of sympathy for Ulster crowd one another from every corner of-/ the Empire, and it becomes abundantly evident/' that any attempt to coerce Ulster will cause a' revolt that will shake the Empire to its foundations. /^rC/_ ' ^TS* ���������-*��������� ' . i - Whatever'else is done then we can feel sure" i that this will be avoided. And with this the,out- ���������,- sider must rest content for it looks as if even those at the heart of things scarcely know what a ' day may bring forth-' _ ' ��������� ^ '' _ * The incident at Winnipeg last week may be taken as a gauge-of the kind of loyalty-to King and Empire we could expect from Ireland; under Home Rule. At a great Romanist banquet tbe / toast to the Pope was put ahead of that of tbe King. The Lieutenant-Governor and many other dignitaries refused to go���������amongst them Mr. . Deacon, Mayor of Winnipeg. Aa a compromise', it-was agreed that "God Save the King" should be sung at the beginning of the banquet, then the toast to the Pope, and the toast to the King omitted altogether. Mayor Deacon, according to press reports, accepted this compromise. The incident, of course, is a puerile one, and absolutely unimportant of itself. We admire the tenacity of the Romanist in sticking out for a long ago; exploded idea of the over lordship of the Pope. As :to Mayor Deacon we refrain from expressing our opinion. The"whole incident, however, gives the reason why Ulster prefers to face all that the present British Government can hurl against it rather than yield ������n iota in the constitutional _battle_she is waging for the preservation of the Union. ' 4 Ls if ������| . Vl 'The Rev. D. S. Phelan, Roman priest at St.������ Louis, Mo., said in a sermon preached there and printed in the Western Watchman June 27, 1912: Tell us we are Catholics first and Americans or Englishmen afterwards; of course we are- Tell us, in the conflict between the church and. the civil government we take the side of the church; of course we do. Why, if the government of the United States were at war with the church, we would say tomorrow, To bell with tbe government of the United States; and if the church and all the governments of the world were at war, we would say, To bell with all tbe governments of tbe world. . . . Why is it that in this country, where we have only seven per cent, of the population/the Catholic Church is so much feared? She is loved by all her children, and feared by everybody. Why is it the Pope has such tremendous power? Why, the Pope is the ruler of the world. All the emperors, all the kings, all the princes, all the presidents of the. world, are as these altar boys of mine. The Pope is the ruler of the world. Now, we admire Phelan in his courageous utterance���������just asFwe despise Deacon for his cowardice, but with such expressions which are being constantly reiterated, and such incidents, as at Winnipeg, which are of constant occurrence, one exactly similar happening quite recently in Ytk- couver���������can anyone blame Ulster for standing up for her rights as guaranteed inthe Act of Union.

NOTARY PUBLIC Dow, Fraser 1 Co. LIMITED 317-321 Cambie Street 2313 Main Street Between 7th and 8th Aves. McKay Station, Burnaby "Why We Are Protestants" Mr. Chairman, Brethren, and Fellow Citizens: I hail the presence of so many ministers of different Protestant churches and so many leading members of different Protestant churches in this vast audience as an evidence that the pressure of the conflict with Rome is drawing us closer together (Applause.) We are finding out, I venture to say, that the things in which we agree are more important by far than the things in which we differ. (Applause.) A Word of Explanation Now, sir, no apology is necessary at any time for setting forth the reasons why we occupy the , position we do; but, as you have already intimated, Mr. Chairman, the time is opportune for this exposition of tbe Protestant faith, 'because of the Mission to "non-Catholics," as they offensively call us, recently held in St. Patrick's church, for 'the express purpose of proselyting our Protestant people. Why,' my friends and brethren, so eager were the Paulist Fathers to let us know all about it that some of them, or one of them, or some representative of theirs, came into the vestibule of my church and tacked the notice of the lectures on my bulletin! Well, I took notice 1 (Applause.) In the Mission, the doctrines of Protestantism have been assailed, as usual, and every argument known to those skillful controversialists has been' employed to seduce Protestants from their allegiance. In these notices and in the public press, Protestants have, as I have said, been dominated "non-Catholics." Now we resent that nomenclature. We Protestants are "catholics" in the true sense of the word.- In-our creed we say, "I believe in the Holy Catholic church," and we do. On tne other hand, we refuse to yield to the, church of Rome the name "Catholic." It is the greatest arrogance for that church to appropriate that great and venerable term. I know of no church upon earth that has so little claim to be called Catholic as the church of Rome. vUnder the circumstances now described, it has been felt by the ministers at whose invitation I am here, that the time is opportune for a definition and a defense of the Protestant faith.- Now, I am not here to attack the Roman, church, but to defend Protestantism from the attacks which have been leveled against it. But in repelling these attacks, it will -become necessary to expose some of the contradictions and absurdities and inconsistencies that are involved in the doctrines of that church. .1, however,,am not responsible for that; but those who by assailing our faith, and doing everything in their power to draw our people from their allegiance, have made ~it necessary for us to expose what we believe to be tho unreasonableness of the faith of the Roman church. Protestantism Not a Series of Negations. Now, first of all, and before entering particularly upon exhibition, of the grounds upon which we protest against-the doctrine and practice of the Church of Rome, I desire to make two brief preliminary remarks. The first is that Protest- ism is not, as commonly represented, a mere series of negations,���������denying error rather than affirming truth; repudiating false doctrine rather than proclaiming the true. No; we write the word Protestant on our escutcheon in its full etymological significance. A Protestant is one that bears witness for any person or thing; and a Protestant church is one that bears witness for Christ and his gospel in the world. It is a name not ,to. be ashamed of, in either its origin or its history. When our Lord Jesus Christ stood-bef ore-Pilate, he said to himself, "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." Humbly treading in the footsteps of ker divine Lord,-the Protestant church goes forth into the world having tbis as her aim, that she may "bear witness unto tbe truth." Lot was a Protestant when he stood alone for God in the midst of wicked Sodom. The Jewish nation was Protestant, standing among the nations of the earth, a witness for the unity of God, the supremacy of conscience, and the sancity of the moral law. And, supreme instance! let it never be forgotten that Christ and his apostles were Protestants in their day. They were Protestants for the truth of God, against the traditions and corruptions of the Jewish hierarchy, the established church of that day. And they not only bore witness for the revelation made in the incarnation of the Son of God, but they bore witness against the false doctrines of the scribes and Pharisees, the chief priests and elders of the church. In like manner and in fulfillment of the injunction of the great Head of the church, our Protestant churches bear witness among men today, not only positively, for "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," but negatively, against the manifold corruptions of that faith for which the Church of Rome is responsible. And, therefore, they bear on their escutcheon the glorious word Protestant,���������the witness bearers. Protestants Are Not Heretics Nor Separatists The other introductory remark I have to make is that though we are Protestants, we are not heretics nor separatists. (Applause.) In 1868 the late Pope Pius IX. addressed letters "to Protestants and other non-Catholics," inviting them to return to the bosom of the Holy Mother Church, as the only means of insuring their salvation. ��������� '-"V Now, we deny that we have ever separated from the Catholic Church. One of the articles of our faith is, "I believe in the Holy Catholic Church," and in this we claim and enjoy full membership, by the same Spirit which joins in one communion and fellowship "the blessed company of ail faithful people." In fact, thVPope and his adherents are the innovators and heretics who have departed from "the faith once delivered," who have corrupted the Christian creed; and not the Protestants, who have rejected Rome's novelties and returned to the creed and the practice of the primitive ages of Christianity. Yes, it is the Church of Rome, and not the Protestant churches, which, by her errors and usurpations has separated herself from the Catholic Church of Christ. When she departed from the primitive faith, she became heretical; and when, she made the acl knowledgment of her erroneous and strange doctrines a condition of membership within her com- nfunion, she then forced upon men the alternative of separating from her or of abandoning the faith which they were bound to "contend for." Luther and Melanchthon, Calvin and Beza, Cran- mer and Ridley and Latimer,���������all that noble band of reformers in the sixteenth century, chose the former alternative. They decided to obey God rather than men. Were they therefore heretics? Was it heresy to obey Christ and Christ's unchangeable truth rather than abandon these for the sake of union with a Church which had apostatized from the faith and required all her members to acquiesce in her apostasy?���������INay, was not she the1 heretic who, abandoning the Holy Scrip'tures as her guide, taught for doctrines the commandments of men? Let it be remembered, also, that as far as the Church of England was concerned, 'the reformation was a rebellion against a foreign yoke, and the restoration of the original ecclesiastical authority. The British church had existed for centuries in entire independence of Rome. It had produced martyrs to .the faith in the reign of Diocletian. It had sent bishops to the Councils of Aries (A.D. 314), Sar- .dica (A.D. 347), and Ariminum (A.D. 359). It had held numerous synods of its own. As to its orthodoxy, St. Jerome and St. Chrysostom had both borne testimony to it. But it was not until the seventh century that the Church of Rome gained a footing on the island. Her pretensions to exercise authority over the British church were resisted. The bishops of the native church refused to yield their customs or to receive Augus- . tine as their archbishop. They resisted for more than a, century the attempt of Rome to bring them into subjection. In short, the Church of England of that day became Romanised only after an ineffectual protest and a prolonged resistance on the part of the native episcopate. ' Scripture Versus Tradition Now, my friends, I come to the substantive part of my address this afternoon. Why are we Protestants,? I reply, First of all, we are Protestants because we build our faith and hope on the impregnable,jfock of Holy'Scripture, and not on the shifting sands of ecclesiastical tradition. The Bible, and the Bible alone, is the basis of the. religion of Protestants; but-tradition, interpreting the Bible, and often superseding it and contradicting it, is the basis of the religion of Romanists. (Now when I use the term Romanist, I beg you to observe that I am using a term which has for authority, no less a person than John H. Newman himself, for be published a book called "Lectures on Romanism and Popular Protestantism." Therefore, if instead of calling that church the Catholic church, I speak of it as Romanism, % am' simply adopting the language of John H. Newman.) We follow the teachings of Jesus Christy and his-apostles in building our faith only on the revelation of truth contained in the Bible- "Search the Scriptures/' Christ said. The Scripture cannot be broken.1 The Church of Rome, on the contrary, builds her doctrines upon a double basis,���������tbe Bible and _ tradition; but by_ making.tradition the authoritative interpreter of the Bible, she really rests, not upon the teaching of the Bible, but upon the teaching of tradition. Now, that is a serious charge. I wish to prove it. The creed of Pope Pius IV., which was published in A.D. 1564, and has ever since been the universal symbol of doctrine in the Roman Church, declares as follows: 1. "I most firmly admit and embrace the apostolical and ecclesiastical traditions, and all other observances and constitutions of the said church. 2. I admit also Holy Scripture, according to that sense which. Holy Mother Church, to whom it appertains to judge of the true meaning and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, hath holden and still holds." / Now compare with this the language of the Council ofTrent: "The Holy Ecumenical and General Council of Trent . . . receives and venerates'with equal affection of piety and reverence all the books of the Old and the New Testament, ... as also the said .traditions, as well those pertaining to faith as to morals, . . preserved in the Catholic Church by a continuous succession." A Fundamental Error Here, then, is the first, as it is the fundamental, error against which we protest,���������the making tradition, i. e., the alleged oral teaching of the apostles, handed down from their times, of equal authority with the written word of God.; and the declaration that the Sacred Scriptures are to be admitted only in the sense in which the Roman Church explains them. The sixth article of the Church of England declares, on the contrary, that "Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to'salvation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor majf be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article of faith." When this is denied, the very foundations pf the faith are sapped. Our feet no longer stand on the rock of God's written Word, but upon the uncertain and shifting sands of tradition. No wonder that the Church of Rome has been "carried about by every wind of doctrine," since she has cast anehpr upon Mich treacherous ground. For, mark you, as if it were not a sufficient impiety to declare the traditions - (Continued on Page 3) V Terminal City Press, Ltd. 203=207 Kingsway COMMERCIAL PRINTING Your Printing Orders will receive prompt and careful attention.

" ^ ' The False Decretals . Let me give you an example to show how far the traditions to which the Church of Borne appeals are to be depended on. In the ninth century a 'tremendous forgery arose, under the name pf the Isidorian decretals,, consisting of nearly'one hundred letters, written in the names of earlier bishops of Borne, together with certain spurious writings of oth&* cliarch dignitaries, and acts of hitherto unknown councils. These documents were eagerly seized upon by Nicholas I., who was Pope at that time, and by him and his successors were made the instrument of completely revolutionizing the constitution of the church, and developing the papal power, from a mere primacy, into an absolute ecclesiastical despotism. For centuries these false decretals were accepted as genuine; but for over three hundred years their true character has been known, and they have been on all hands admitted to be a forgery, and a very clumsy forgery at'that. Even the most extreme partisans of Rome now admit this,���indeed, the popes themselves have admitted it, yet the radical changes which they were the instruments of introducing, remain. Now, one cannot help asking, What dependence is to be placed on the traditions which the Church of Borne professes to have preserved since the time of the apostles,/ if she thus accepted for so many centuries this gross forgery, and made it the support and foundation of doctrines and usages she has insisted on as vital to the true constitution of the church? And this is only one of numerous examples in which the infallible Church of Rome has accepted and magnified the authority" of documents ~ which have- subsequently- been proved and admitted to be forgeries. But if she is thus incapable of distinguishing the true from the false in the writings and documents of her own bishops and synods, how are we to trust her when she presents us with alleged traditions handed down from the age of the apostles? And how can we do otherwise than protest against her impiety when we see the plainest declarations of the Sacred Scriptures made void by her pretended traditions? In our Saviour's time the Pharisees appealed to tradition, but our Lord made his appeal ever to the Scriptures. He changed them with transgressing the commandments of God by their traditions. His words to them are most applicable today to the Church1 of Rome: "Thus have,ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." Matt. 15:6. "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Verse 9: He said to the Jews, "Search the Scriptures." He never said, Search your traditions. There are the words, and there is the authority, of our Lord and Saviour Jesus $hrist against the method which the Church of Rome adopts in asking us to accept her traditions as the basis of doctrine. " - . t- , Roman Catholic Interpretation of Scripture But again, the Roman Catholic hierarchy teaches that the Bible is to be accepted only according to the sense which the church puts upon it. Now, perhaps you would like to have a sample or two of the. interpretations of this infallible church. Well, here is one of many that might be given. What do you suppose is the chief passage relied upon to establish the dogma of papal infallibility? -Here it is in our Lord's words to St. Peter: "Satan hath desired to have you, tbat he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren" Luke 22: 31-32., This, we are told by Romanist interpreters since Pope Agatho, A.P. 680, contains the grant of special privilege to the bishops of Rome as successors of St. Peter. And this, although not one of the eighteen Fathers who comment upon this passage gives any hint of such an interpretation! I give another precious example of infallible interpretation. You know the popes have claimed power to rule thewnations, and how do you suppose this is proved from Holy Scripture? How? Just listen, listen and tremble; it is very simple. St. Peter walked on the sea! Q- E. D. (quod erat demonstrandum!) (Applause.) This is conclusive evidence that the successors of St. Peter are entitled to rule the nations! Do you not see it? If you do not. you must be very dull. It was declared by Pope Innocent III. in a letter addressed to the patriarch of Constantinople, in which he claimed that ''Christ had committed the government of the whole world to the '.popes."" - '..* ,; '������������ Such interpretations as these, proceeding from the supposed infallible popes,���in conflict with common, sense, in conflict with the laws of sound exegesis, in conflict with the exposition given by the Fathers of the church,���may serve to show- how deceitfully the Church of Rome deals with Holy Scripture- Dr. Preston's Charges A famous controversialist of the Church of Rome, some years ago, was the vicar-general Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Preston. He said that private interpretation,���that terrible old thing, you know, private judgment,���"private interpretation has virtually declared the Bible to be of straw." But I say that papal and Roman interpretation has actually used the Bible as a nose of wax, to be pressed into whatever shape the exigencies of their case may require. Again: Dr. Preston says: "Protestantism has torn the Bible to pieces." Think of it, ye Protestants, and repent of your sins! However, even that is not so bad as burning it, is it? (Applause.) For the leaves of the torn Bible, borne by the winds of heaven over the earth, may carry the message of life and immortality to mankind; -7-the single verse, ''God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son," once led a poor Hindu out of his heathen darkness into light;��� but, when it is burned, its power to bless is gone, ,���for men cannot read its message in its ashes,��� and the only voice it then has is anathema against the sacreligious hand that committed it to the fire. v - > Roman Doctrines Not in the Bible ��� Let me repeat, thent with emphasis: If any man asks why we are Protestants^ I answer, Because the doctrines of the Church of Rome which we are called upon to accept as necessary to salvation cannot be found in the Bible. Do yon" think that is a large order to prove? Well,- I shall not attempt to prove it; but I shall just hide myself behind the opinion of a great cardinal. You know that is a very safe place to be. The late Cardinal Wiseman, in writing about the way| in which Romanists are-sometimes converted, or perverted, as he would say, to Protestantism, said this: '/The history, in every case is simply this, that the individual, by some chance or other . . . became possessed of the Word of God, of the Bible; that he perused this book; that he could not find in it transubstantiation or. auricular confession, that he could not discover in it one word of purgatory', or of worshipping images. He perhaps goes to the priest, and tells him that he cannot find these doctrines in the Bible; his priest argues with him, and endeavors to convince him that he should shut up the book that is leading him astray; he perseveres, he abandons the communion of the Church of Rome, . . . and becomes a Protestant- Now, in all this the man was a Protestant from the beginning; he started witbthe principle that whatever is not in that book cannot be true religion, or an article of faith; and that is the principle of Protestantism. He took Protestantism, therefore, for granted, before he began to examine the Catholic doctrine. He set out with the supposition that whatever is not in the Bible is no part of God's truth; he does not find certain things in the Bible, and concludes that, therefore, the religion that holds these is not the true religion of Christ"���"Lectures on the Principal Doctrines and Practices of the Catholic Church," Baltimore, 1846, page 16. The man who wrote these words was an eminent prince of the church,���a prince who. if he were here, the Boston Pilot would tell you was entitled to precedence over our senators, x>ver our representatives, over the judges of the Supreme Court, over the Vice-President o f the United States, over the foreign ambassadors, over everybody on the face of this big continent except the President; and if a ship hearing him should come into port, it should be welcomed by salvos of artillery suitable to the heir apparent to the throne! (This was said, not of a dead cardinal, but of a living cardinal. I think his name is O Connell.) (Applause.) 'i Here, then, is a distinct acknowledgment- by an eminent prince of the church, a noted controversialist, that neither transubstantiation, nor auricular confession, nor pugatory, nor; worshipping of images is found in the Bible. ^ We agree ex animo with this illustrious representative of Rome. The same is true of all the peculiar doctrines of that church. - v Home's Teachings Contrary to Scripture and to ��� < tbe Fathers Once more I say. We 'are Protestants because the peculiar doctrines of the Church of Rome are contrary to Holy Scripture, contrary to the teachings of the Fathers of the church. We are Protestants because we refuse to believe the Virgin Mary more merciful than Jesus Christ; or that she is our mediator with God; or that she is the mother of God; or that she was horn without sin. We are Protestants because Jhe doctrine of the mass has no foundation in Holy Scripture; and I might add, no manner or sort of affiliation or association or connection with the great American national Thanksgiving festival- (Long continued applause.) We are Protestants because the invocation of saints has no foundation in Holy Scripture; because the power of the priest to sit in the tribunal of penance and pronounce judicial absolution on the penitent, has no foundation in Scripture; because the doctrine of papal infallibility finds no support,either in the BiMe, or in the primitive Fathers of the church. , As to Certainty of Troth But then, O my friends, it is alleged that there is no agreement among .Protestants as to the doc-, trines contained in the Bible-; and that this results from the principle of private judgment, which produces endless divisions and differences among them; and then it is declared triumphantly that God is not the author of confusion, and therefore God cannot be the author of Protestantism! Q. E. D. (I Kke these Q. E. D.'s.) One of the arguments most earnestly pressed in the recent Misison in this city was that there can be no certainty of truth in a Protestant church, thot certainty can be found only in an infallible church, speaking to the world through an infallible head. But then, is the Roman Catholic Church a household free from differences and divisions and conflicts? That's an interesting question, is it not? Are its-interpretations of Scripture consistentand harmonious. V ' "��� .���-���.-"' '' V " ��� ' Take~ for example, the controversy about predestination^ which Dr. Preston referred to in such a'manner as to leave his audience to suppose that it was one of the dire results of the Reformation. He traced the genesis of this doctrine to reformed theology, and said, "So came the theory of predestination." What a learned man he must have been! (Laughter and applause.) Well, there are one or two facts that we i..ight quote along that line. The first is that more than a thousand years before the Reformation the theory of predestination was ably expounded by St- Augustine, who is by many held to be the greatest of the Fathers, and is claimed by the Church of Rome as one of her theologians. The second fact is that in the ninth eentury the, Roman Church was convulsed by this controversy in the well known case of the monk Gottschalk, and for ten years it raged with great fury.

SHEEP FARMING Australia has'for -.many years contained, more/' sheep, than any other country, and for half a century has been the world's principal source of fine Merino wools. The wool industry was inaugurated at an early stage of Australian settlement by the introduction of a few Spanish Merino sheep. It at once became apparent that the conditions of Australia were extremely favorable for the production of superior wools., As settlement progressed increased attention' was paid to the breeding of sheep and improvement of the fleece in weight \ and quality. The sheep of Australia in earlier days, carried a fleece averaging about 3 1-2 lbs. Today the average weight of the Australian Merino fleece is nearly 8 lbs. with, in some flocks, .' an even higher average weight.. The annual exports of Australian wool ex- , ceed $150,000,000 in value, while about 10,000,000 lbs. of wool is retained in the Commonwealth for manufacture locally into woollen goods, principally tweeds; underwear, blankets and rugs. In addition to the exportation of wool the sheep industry contributes the extent of well over $10,000,000 worth, of frozen lamb and mutton per annum, shipped principally to Great Britain, South Africa and the Past. France is the principal purchaser of Australian sheep shins carrying wool," as many as 3,561,- 771 such skins having been shipped to French, ports from Australia during a single year. In the course of eight years the flocks have multiplied nearly 100 per cent., notwithstanding the fact that during the same period the exportation of frozen mutton and iamb has increased enormously, and with the growth of the population by nearly half a million souls the local demand for meat has undergone a corresponding increase. New Zealand has also proved itself specially suited for the breeding of all classes of sheep , from the fine combing Merino to tha strong type Tjincoln. . Shearing commences in September; and j8_aontirfued _tilL January^. _The_usual _price_paid- for shearing is $5, per hundred sheep. Shearing machines are in fairly general use in the larger sheds. The average clip is from 4 lbs. to 7 lbs. Exports.���������The following are the principal exports of New Zealand for 1912: Wool, frozen nieat, skins and tallow. .$55,100,000 Butter and cheese 15,500,000 Gold .'..:.... 8,739,000 Timber 2,341,000 Kauri gum 1,842,000 Grain and pulse -. 1,685,000 Hemp, and tow 1.771,000 Sheep raising is practically unknown in British Columbia. This is a most profitable industry that has been sadly neglected, and yet we have great areas of the finest sheep pastures in the world.** Hitherto the sheep industry has been discriminated against by unjust grazing laws, but we believe the Government of B. C. is today alive to the folly of allowing cattlemen to run the country to the exclusion of one of the most profitable industries, and is ready to give every possible encouragement to the cultivation and grazing of sheep. There are millions of acres that will never be any good for any other commercial purpose��������� that can be made revenue producers by the introduction of sheep. The climate and mountain and valley configuration of the Lilloet district will, in time, make it one of the famous sheep countries of the world, and there* is hardly a flock there at present. Moreover, it will be an industry necessitating smaller flocks and multiplied owners and herders, employing relatively a much greater number of men than'in Australia. That which is now being strongly sought after in Australia, namely, the breaking up of the enormous flocks and the increasing of the smaller owners, will be largely a necessity of the case in British Columbia- There will be difficulties in the way, of course. The cayote, the timber wolf, the mountain lion ;and the bear, abound on the pasture grounds at present, and good trails giving access to the high summer pastures are scarce. But all these things can be overcome and the opening up of the Lilloet district by the advent of the locomotive of the Pacific Great Eastern'should be the signal for a strong immigration of those who understand sheep farming. There is no more beautiful country in the world���������no finer climate and no better market anywhere on earth for all that the sheep farmer can produce along with his flock. Cosy, fertile valleys for winter shelter and feed. Short winter, good means of communication and nearby market should soon transfer the now empty Lilloet district into a land of lovely, happy nomes, teaming with traffic. REAL ESTATE VALUES Winnipeg, ^Man.���������In reference to real estate values at present time, a letter recently received from a well known American capitalist, C. P. Harrison, of Omaha, Nebraska, is being quoted in Winnipeg as indicating the entire soundness of the present situation: The writer has been making a careful comparative study of values in New York and other leading cities, and for a high priced parcel of ground points out the southwest corner of Nassau and Wall streets covering 97 by 94 feet. This parcel was assessed in 1904 for $539,000, and in 1914 for $$200,000. "You will see," says .the Omaha man, "that the growth in the value of this property has been in ten years approximately 600 per cent., or abput 60 percent, per year. One would hardly think that property in the financial centre of New York would parallel in growth business property in sucn a rapidly developing city as Winnipeg; and it should not tax our imagination to realize'that there will be immense profit, at present prices, "to the investor whose capital is employed in the purchase of real estate in a city which is now only on the threshold of its career." The comment quoted is taken as applying to such fast developing centres as Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. v ALL ALASKA SWEEPSTAKE WON BT JOHN JOHNSON Nome, Alaska.--John Johnson, holder of the record for the 412-mile All-Alaska Sweepstake dog team race,- became the winner in the 1914 Alaska classic when he drove his eighteen Siberian wolves into Nome at three minutes after six o'clock last night, having covered the 412 miles ,over the snow and trail from Nome to Candle and return in 81 hours and 3 minutes. A. A. "(Scotty) Allan, driver of the Allan-Darling team of eighteen malamutes, was second, and Fred Ayer, with his team of fourteen fox-hounds, third. - When Johnson left Solomon, 32 miles from the goal, shortly after noon, notice was posted on! the bulletin board in tbe Board of Trade saloon that he would arrive about 6 o'clock, and every man, woman and child in the camp gathered to welcome the winner* When Johnson '9 team apt peared over the snow, every dog in harness and showing little effect of the long drive through the blizzard and below-zero weather, the crowd went wild. f ��������� ��������� \ Johnson's time was seven hours slower than the record set by himself in 1910, when he drove the Siberians over the course in 74 hours J4 minutes and J20 seconds. The racers were handicapped this year by stormy weather, making ,the going slow most o������ the way- Greatest Racing Pogs The Siberian wolves, driven by Johnson, are considered by experts the greatest racing dogs in. . the world. They are a cross between tbe "Husky," the Alaska working dog, and the Siberian wolf. They have the agility iand-endurance of the wolf, and the faithful intelligence of the Alaskan dog. They, are light in color, either white or grey, with a' shaggy coat. Johnson's dogs are carefully selected; the driver him-- self m'aking annual trips to the east coast of Siberia to obtain material for his team. He trains his team'by constant work on the trail, making long trips to camps in the country surrounding- Nome, and watches \he work of the aniamls even more closely than a jockey watches his mount. ^ Although this is the first, time Johnson hits won a sweepstake race since his team set the record four years ago, he has always been considered a dangerous competitor. Three years ago he was beaten by "Scotty" Allan after he was stricken with snow blindness at mile 289. Two years, ago ' he was unable to drive; being ice bound on the Siberian shore, where he had gone in the early fall to obtain fresh dogs, and last year he finished second to "Fay Delzene, who did not" enter this year's race. - v~ The cold virtually put Allan and Ayer out of the running, the teams of both drivers becoming lame from frost nipped feet. During the last day's drive Johnson had everything his own way. Remarkable Endurance The remarkable endurance of Johnson's wolves was demonstrated by his driving from Boston Roadhouse to Nome, a distance of 107 miles, without feeding. He had arranged to feed his team at Timber, 64 miles from here, but when he arrived there he found that the feed had soured, and he decided to_ press on without waiting for a new supply, which was on the way. - When Johnson crossed the finish line Allan was reported at Solomon, 32 miles out, and Ayer had left Council, 50 miles behind Allan.

The city of Toronto, therefore, is to be congratulated on being the first place on this side of the international boundary to entertain the conference which this year will become international in scope and character. The financial difficulties have been over- come by a generous grant from the Dominion Government, which has appointed the Commission of. Conservation to act as hosts. The Ontario Government and the city of Toronto are also contributing. The question of city planning is thus* recognized to be of national, provincial and mun- cipal concern, and Field Marshal H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught, the Governor-General, has graciously consented to open the Conference and to give an address. . The substantial assistance'given by the Dominion Government is evidence that the town dweller, equally with the agriculturist, is receiving attention, and'that not only the Federal capital, but all our Canadian cities are receiving from the Federal authorities such / advice* and assistance as the Congress will afford them. Invitations Have been sent to all the cities and towns in the Dominion, requesting them to send delegations to the Conference, and it "is hoped that many will take advantage of the s'opportunity. Money could be spent to no greater advantage than in giving some of our city councillors the opportunity to come into touch with experts in civic problems from'1 all over the continent. The aldermen will carry home ideas that, put into practice) will save their townspeople millions of dol- llars, besides acquiring a new sense of the responsibilities of their office and higher ideals of civic administration. The scope of the Conference may be gauged by a gjance at some of the topics which will ' form the main themes of discussion. Among these may be cited: The relative,, importance of city planning as compared with all other functions of city government, by Andrew Wright Crawford, editor of the city planning section of the Public Ledger; provision for future rapid transit,, by J. V. Davies, consulting engineer for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company; rapid transit and the auto bus, by John A, McCollum, assistant engineer, Board of Estimate and Apportionment, New York city; protecting residential districtst *��������� by Lawrence Veiller, secretary and director of the National Housing Association, New York city; Toronto's water front development, by R. S. Gourlay, of the Toronto Harbor Board; a consideration of the principles and procedure of a Canadian town planning act, a draft of which is now being prepared by a, special committee appointed by the - Commission - of- -Conservation and recreation facilities in the city plan, by Henry V. Hubbard, professor of landscape, architecture in Harvard University. Additional interesting features will be a tour of tf������e city and harbor of Toronto, luncheon " topics, and an open session for the discussion of subjects to be submitted by members of the Conference.

Equal Suffrage in Illinois The State of Illinois has just passed through pits first experience with equal suffrage Over 1000 saloons have been closed, but whether this' can be attributed to the woman vote remains still to be proven. In Westville township sthe vote on April 7th was for a "wet" town.' The /township.voted 2691 "wet" and 1287Jfdryr" 2022 men and 669 women voting'"wet," and 678 men and 609 women voting "dry." In Westville village alone, however, the woman .Vote was .611 "wet" and 113 "dry." In connection with' this campaign a very start-_ ling incident occurred. The Rev. Louis B. Pat-" Imont, of Milwaukee, Wis., a preacher-journalist, who had come in, to fight for temperance, disappeared, and nothing has been heard of him, since. The temperance workers accuse the? ."liquor" * interests of murdering him; the "liquor' intei ests say he has hidden' himself in order to influence other communities and especially Dan- 'ville, 111., against whiskey. Detectives have been employed on both sides, but nothing, as yet, has Lbeen heard of the missing clergyman. Rev. Pat- Imont feared foul play, and left a letter describing these,fears, and the following memorandum: Louis R. Patmont, 369 Sixth avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. Married and have two children, Lewis Land Ruth. Was born July 6, 1884, in Lodz, [Russia-Poland. Weight 180 pounds; height, 5 feet 110 inches. I am writing this note for identification in case of any foul play on the part of those len who are constantly watching and following le. The hotel owners can give detailed information concerning those men who have repeatedly threatened and insulted me. J am supporting myself by religious and moral propaganda and journalism.0. Since December, 1913, I have been editor of the Polish semimonthly Sztandar Grhzes-Clanski. My father is a preacher at Milw&ukee, Wis. Address, 588 Walker street. ' ' In case 1 am killed I pray some good American Christian may remember that it has been my life's motto to "save "America first," and that I have not considered the cost, and left the welfare of my family and the education of my children in the hands of Ood and some .faithful follower of Christ. March 23, 1914. - An even more serious feature is imported into this case by the testimony of Tom Shepperd, the acting sheriff. He says: "When Mr. Patmont 'went to Westville his enemies found him a serious foe to the liquor interests. They shadowed him. That I know. When he went to a house they* followed after his departure and told the people that he was a renegrade Roman Catholic priest, and that he wrote for the Menace, an anti-Romanist paper published at Aurora, Mo. This was not true, but it aroused the religious feeling of the people of Westville, mostly foreigners, to a high pitch. On the top of this comes the case of Rev. Otis L. Spurgeon, a Baptist minister of Des Moines, la., who was lecturing against Romanism in Colorado. After'the meeting he was taken from his hotel by a crowd of 200 men and women and whipped almost to death. Mr. Spurgeon was taken to the hospital, where he still lay at last re- - port. Five men 'were arrested and charged with assault. More arrests are expected- ,. .USITANIA'S RECORD��������� 26.70 KNOTS PER HOUR . The giant Cunarder Lusitania has established |a world's record,for twenty-four hours' steaming: In the course of her voyage from New York ito Liverpool last week she steamed 618 knots be- }tween Thursday noon and Friday noon, at ah I average speed of 26.70 knots. All Atlantic speed records are held by the^ Lusitania and the Mauritania. This latest \achieveme*t of the Lusitania further strengthens the already predominant position of these vessels ion the Atlantic.' vv Their- superiority in' speed is as unassailed 'now as it was six years ago, and the Lusitania, whose turbine,engines were recently submitted to a lengthy overhall, has shown that the best may I not yet have been attained.

PANAMA TOU-S The Daily Tribune (Chicago), and William I Jennings Bryan arc today both supporting the same policy. Can it be the same Bryan or has the Tribune changed? In any case both "Com-' moner" and Tribune are supporting, with all their strength the repeal of the "Tolls Exemption Bill," favoring American coastwise shipping [in the Panama Canal rates. W. J. Bryan openly confesses to a change of mind on the subject, and claims the right of an honorable man to change when he finds that he has been misled. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan both reiterate that the judgment of every commercial nation in the world, without any exception, is against America in her inter pretation of the Hays-Pauncefote treaty as regards the canal tolls' exemption clause. The Tribune bases the fight mainly on the fact that the exemption of tolls on coastwise shipping is really a subsidy paid to that interest by the inland people amounting to $1.20 per ton. Assuming the tonnage to be carried at the small amount of 20,000,000 tons per year, the subsidy will bej$24,000,000 annually paid by the balance of the country to the "Coastwise shipping monopoly," which controls 94 per cent, of the shipping. Assuming the actual value of the plant employed to be $100,000,000, the government will pay 24 per cent, subsidy in addition, to the profits guaranteed already to the monopoly by the coastwise shipping act. It will be. remembered that it was the advocating of this shipping subsidy that started the old Republican party on the way to ruin, and retired old Sinbad-the-Sailor-Collum. Here again we find a smallbody of men, strong in wealth and organization, actuated by the expectation of reaping "colossal.'fortunes, carrying on a vigorous- campaign to coerce or otherwise influence congress to betray not only the national honor but the national welfare. When we find the Chicago Tribune and "WV J. Bryan both advocating -the repeal of exemption clause we can safely say that the great American nation has at length awakened to the fact that "honesty is the best policy." * ' To the high credit of American journalism an overwhelming majority of thejeading newspapers of the United States, without regard to party lines, are staunchly supporting President Wilson on the Panama tolls issue. Most of the Democratic press would naturally be with a Democratic president, but among Mr- Wilson's strongest supporters are Republican and Progressive newspapers of. commanding inr fhience. POINTERS ON . - ��������� . BRITISH. COLUMBIA The shore line of British Columbia extends . nearly 7000 miles, with a protected -territory of nearly 30,000 square miles abounding with commercial fish. These include salmon, herring,- sturgeon,������ bass, oolachans, smelts, flatfish, black cod,- perch, traut,' skate, sardines, anchovies, shad, oysters, crabs, shrimps, and prawns. The production - of the British' Columbia fisheries for 1911 was $11,- 000,000. Total value of ' equipment was $7,830,976;" men employed, 17,108. The industry is capable of'enormous expansion. Hogs are probably grown \ in ajl farming districts. The demand for pork far exceeds the supply. A large packing plant in Vancouver has to depend largely upon outside points for hogs. There are several small curing houses. In 1911 there was imported: Bacon and ham, 3,261,328 pounds; salt pork, 165,106 pounds; lard, 2,- 199,322 pounds. 'Value of above, $754,132., These figures do not- include imports from other provinces, and represent only about 26 per cent, of total importation. . The interior plateaus of British Columbia are peculiarly adapted to cattle raising. Practically all the beef raised is grown under the range conditions. InVthe Fraser valley the farmers are giving up beef cattle and are going into dairying to supply the cities. The local demand from June to December is supplied within the province. For the rest pi the year the supply is obtained from Alberta. Very little winter fattening is done in the province. In 1911, B. C. imported 11,497 >eef cattle, valued at'$689,820.

"You have quarreled wlthi Mr. Cameron r Tou have���������" "No, no," I returned; Interrupting him. "Would to Ood I bad him here ability to put two and two together, to quarrel with. Miss Grayson was right. The man you have been using I your skill upon is no more Robert Cameron than I am." I hardly knew whether to be Irritated or amused by that wbich followed. Dr. Massey threw back bis head and roared with boisterous laughter. "Ha! Ha! Ha! That's the rich-1 est kind of a Joke, my dear fellow!" he exclaimed, as hia mirth subsided. "Not Robert Cameron? Why, do you, know, Mr. Clyde, how many years l| have been his physician? No. Of coarse you don't. Ten years and over, and I know Cameron as I know myself.' The result is always either four or twenty-two. So, ln logic, the answer Is (Invariably either right or wrong. Murphy had stabbed a man ln the back; ' jMcNlsh carried the sear of a knife wound under his shoulder blade. There were the two and two. "What were the facts?" I asked, with kindled interest. "Whom did he stab? When? Where?" "The bloke's name," O'Hara answered, after a moment's thumbing of Ibis note book, "was MacNlchol���������Doug- ilass MacNlchol. It was in Buffalo, in ,1900." My putting together of names could hardly be a coincidence. '< "Pat Moran served five years ln Auburn," the detective added. "You don't know what became of McNish���������I mean MacNlchol?" " "No." "Nor any facts about the cause of ithe stabbing?" , "That's easy got," O'Hara Informed ���������me. "But It ain't in the record at [headquarters. What Is there, though, ;is that Moran had lived In Chinatown ,1a Frisco, and was arrested there and jtrled for smuggling opium, but was acquitted for lack of evidence." , , For a moment I sipped my coffee In thoughtful silence. , The skeleton guy knows Moran. all right," O'Hara broke la. , Ton mean the half-breed?" "Yes. He give tbat away." "What does he call himself?" "He's known in Chinatown as John Soy. He says he's a cook." Once again J was busy with two and two. Unless all signs failed this John Soy and Peter Johnson and tbe Eurasian .cook of tbe Sable l<orcba were a - 'single entity. "O'Hara," I, said, finishing my coffee, and putting down the cup and saucer, "I have the key witness in this case. You and I together are going to take him with us and have him confront both Murphy and John Soy. X promise you the result will be interesting." The detective looked his perplexity. "Some one wbo knows them?" J������e asked. "Unless | am very much mistaken," I answered, "it Is some one who knows them both better than any other person in New VYork. - Unless Heaven is |ust now engaged In constructing enigmas simply for the bewilderment of ut mortals, tbe witness I have is the man whom Murphy stabbed In the hack, la Buffalo, eight years ago." Bat before I could carry out my plan .there were several minor matters which claimed my attention. Ever since reading the note which Miss Clement placed tn my hands I had been uneasy concerning her safety. To Judge from OUara'a report Chinatown bad been in a ferment most of the night, and I feared lest the blame for the disturbance be vis* Ited upon the brave woman missionary and some measures of vengeance meted out to her. - For half an hour X tried unsuccessfully to reach her by telephone. The Mission did not answer. With my anxiety Intensified by this repeated failure, I ordered my motor car around at once, and taking O'Hara with me, made the trip to Pell street in record time, despite obstructive trucks and other vehicles which were encountered, the hour being still early, in maddening frequency. : Bager Inquiry of none-too-loquadous neighbors eventually elicited the information that Miss Clement, alive and uninjured, had started at daybreak, If not Indeed before, to hunt' up a brother of the murdered ling Fo. ln Long Island City. Half an hour later, having stopped at Bellevue hospital on the way up. town to inquire as to the condition of Eloi LacoBte, the injured chauffeur, and leave Instructions that everything possible should be done for his comfort, I alighted from the car at the door of Dr. Massey'a office on' West Fifty-sixth street I trust I am not that type of man which, when guilty of error, delights > to shift the responsibility to other: shoulders. I had small excuse $o\ make for myself ln confounding Mc-j Nlsh with Cameron, yet I confess r had much less for the family physl-i elan, who had been so easily deceived.; Dr. Massey greeted me almost Jo- do you propose to take? Do you realize what 1b involved? Don't you.see that^your conviction and mine is one thing, but that to convince the public la an entirely different matter? Can we afford to give this man up for his crimes until we have Cameron actually here to prove that it is not he who was thus Involved Blxteen years ago? In the recent result of developments I bad not thought of that. But I saw now that it presented a problem no less perplexing than* some of those which had Just been solved. CHAPTER XXV. Enemies Face to Faee. Js events shaped themselves tbe problem presented by Dr. Massey found a speedy solution. Had I been compelled to grapple with it unaided I am not yet sure what courre I should have pursued. Of my own volition I must have hesitated to take a step which could not fall to throw suspicion���������at least among the only partially informed���������upon my absent and defenseless friend. But all choice lathe matter was denied me. I arranged with Dr. Massey that he should go unaccompanied to his pa-j tlent's room, and, without so much as; a hint that he waa cognisant of what had transpired on the previous night,, make whatever examination he; deemed necessary to a definite concluv alon. In the meantime, having learned from Checkabeedy that Evelyn was in, the breakfast room, I Joined her there. Her curiosity had-ripened by a night's, suppression; and having dismissed the footman who was serving her, she at once demanded the fulfillment of myj promise to tell her everything. 'It's another case where you havei the right to say, 1 told you so!' I be-i gan, as I took a chair next to her. ' tn her wide blue eyes I read that Ihe divined my meaning. 1 "Yes," I went on, "the man upstairs |s not your uncle. We have been! nursing a viper, it seems, who prom- Address by Dr. McKim^-Why We Are Protestants] having ita way, "why on earth he ever had the initials D. M. N. tattooed on his left arm?" - The doctor's quick changes of es>. presslon were becoming an Interesting study. The smile which had lin-' gered after tbe laughter now gave "Then tell me;'" I said, irritation /*���������* to give us a deal ot trouble be- way to a lowered brow and pursed lips. "A tattoo mark on his left arm?" he repeated, slowly. "There's no such thing there," "But there is." I insisted; "there is, at least, on the left arm of the* man you've been treating." Dr. Massey was still thoughtful. "There is some mistake," he decided. "No, there is no mistake," 1 assured him. "Miss Grayson's eyes were better than either yours or mine. She saw at once that this outlaw was not her uncle, and you and I fancied we knew better. If you are still unconvinced, doctor, 111 run you up in my car, which is at tbe door, and you shall satisfy yourself. Meanwhile 111 give you some of tbe confirms* tory evidence " He went 'with ma; and to him and O'Hara. at the same time, I related the durofoundlng occurrences of the previous night. "And what did this McNish say?" the doctor Inquired, when I bad finished. "Did be admit the masquerade?" "He became delirious. There was no getting a sensible word from him- My own idea is that tbe delirium was feigned." - "Possibly." ��������� - "Isn't it equally possible, doctor," I asked "that be has been feigalng since the first?" "No," was his answer. "I don't think so. He may have exaggerated bis symptoms, when conscious, to gain time; but If he had been able to think clearly he would have secured tbat. letter before last night. You may rest assured that that was the first opportunity he had, after regaining tbe power of thought continuity. And still," he continued, "I am not entirely 'convinced tbat he Is not Robert Cameron. If it Is merely a resemblance, as you claim, then It Is the ) most remarkable case of likeness tbat I have ever encountered. Moreover,* there is one thing we must not lose sight of. His abductors, as has been demonstrated by everything they have done, are an unusually clever and cunning lot of men. To counterfeit age, so far as tbe tattoo mark is concerned, is not so difficult as you might imagine; and I should have to see the 'scar before admitting that it Is not of recent origin. The letter might have been a forgery, or a real letter, secured and placed In Cameron's pocket for tbis very purpose. And hypnotic suggestion would easily explain his desire to secure and destroy It. The use of a foreign tongue ln his dementia even, could be accounted for ln the same way." It was natural that Dr. Massey should exert his ingenuity to reconcile these divergent points. To him it seemed, as it had to me, that a mistake as to the Identity of the patient was Incredible. But now I simply shook my bead in negation. "Wait until you see him again, doc- tor,*i I requested. "Wait until you read his face, not for what is on the surface but for what is behind It." The motor, drawing a swift diagonal to the curb, came creepingly to a halt before the Cameron house. As I was about to alight. Dr. Massey laid a detaining band on my arm. "If your conclusion is 'Clyde." be said, gravely, "wba^course * fore we are through with him." There was no need for her to ones-; tion me. Rapidly, succinctly. I told i her the story I had learned from Yupl $lng; told her, too, of the scene In! the bedchamber, after I had left herl on the previous night; and showed'' her the letter from McNlah's poor old Scotch mother. "Philip," she Interrupted , me, bar faee,and voice alike pleading. ."Let us send him back to herl" "Bend him hack!" I repeated In amassment '- "Yes. We can, cant wet We don't hare to give htm up to there ftornd iCbinamen, do we? He's well enough Ito go, isn't be? Why cant- we call a |cah, give him enough money for hia ���������passage and send blm, at once? (There's a steamer tailing this mora* ilng, isn't there?"' . For Just a moment I was on the point of yielding. Seldom has a villain had a more puissant advocate than had McNish in tbis enthusiastic, resolute girl, spurred to his salvation hy tbe pathetic appeal of tbat maternal yearning which breathed from every line of the letter before her. The unselfish purity of her cause Illumined and transfigured her. Her beauty was .radiant ������������������Answer me!" she insisted, ^Impa. Went at my silence, "lent it possible? Tsnt it really tbe very best way out of ;a difficulty? It will never do to admit jtbat we have had that man here In ���������mistake for Uncle Robert, you know." . "But there is something you have (forgotten, my dear child," I objected, with all the mildness I could bestow [upon the words. "In your wish to give !joy to this poor old mother���������and In that I am with you heart and soul��������� you have quite overlooked the fact ���������that we are still with scarcely a scln- 'ttUa of Information concerning the present whereabouts of your uncle." "Oh, no, I haven't" war her prompt jrejotader, "but I dont see what that ihas to do with it except tbat It makes ;lt alt the more necessary to pretend that we still believe this McNish is the. How will sending McNish abroad hinder���������" And they she broke off, Suddenly, as I bad rather expected she iwould, knowing what a keen brain she '.had and how once she got a clear perspective on the situation, she must see 'Again the very point she had' Buggest- ied once herself, and which I bad still In mind. Tou mean," she began again, speaking very slowly now, as she mentally focused the conditions, "that we must hold McNish as a hostage, and only iglve him up when they return Uncle Robert to us?" . "Exactly," I agreed. "Just as two (armies do that are at war���������exchange prisoners." "Isnt there, any other way?" she asked, frowning. "Oh, there must be. Ii don't care a straw, you know, for .that wicked man; but Philip, think of his poor old mother!" "I do think," I told her. ������Tve been 'thinking, ever since I read her lettter, and if it were possible. Evelyn, I'd jglve the reprobate his chance for her 'jsake, little as he deserves it. But I've ���������been thinking of Cameron, too. He may be somewhere on the high seas, as Miss Clement's note implied, or he may be a prisoner ln some underground dungeon of Chinatown. Wherever he is, we are safe in concluding he is neither comfortable nor happy- Why, then, should we consider, to come right down to practicalities, this old .Scotch mother of an infamous son, when the safety-���������the life even���������of one we both love so dearly may at this correct, moment be at stake?" (To be continued.) (Continued froni Page 3) ������ is that in the seventeenth century the same controversy convulsed the Roman Church, maintained by the Jansenists on the one side and the Jesuits on the other, with a biterness certainly never surpassed by Protestants. It continued from 1640 to 1713, a period of seventy-three years. Why, we cannot, help asking, did not the learned Vicar-General Preston read up a little about all this history? It is true that when a decision is reached, the opposition submits. But such submission is no proof of unity. The bishops who denounced, with so much vehemence, the dogma of papal infallibility at the Vatican Council in 1870, submitted, because the Church of Rome is an absolute spiritual despotism. We Protest.yit& prefer1 liberty of conscience and liberty of thought, even at the cost of external uniformity (Applause.) ��������� Rome's Boasted Unity a Sham But observe, my friends, that after all, unity is not secured in tbe Church of Rome. They tell us private judgment is a false and dangerous guide. They reproach us with our divisions. But it may be safely affirmed that there is more unity and agreement among the leading Protestant churches on this platform this afternoon than there is in the Roman Catholic Church throughout the jvorld. (Applause.) Its boasted unity is a sham and a delusion; it is nominal rather than real, external rather than vital. So, too, with the interpretation, of Scripture. Her highest dignitaries contradict one another in their interpretations of the Bible. Thus, two popes of Rome declared it to be so indispensable for infants to receive communion that those infants who die without receiving communion go straight to hell.' And yet the.Council of Trent, whose decrees Pope Pius IV. proclaimed and bound upon the whole church; anathematized this doctrine. Ah! they do not agree, then. What did those Fathers of Trent mean, to anathematize a doctrine of one of teh popes? Were ������hey modernists three centuries ahead of timet Take another instance, Pope Pelagius declared the invocation of the Trinity necessary to the validity of baptism (A.D. 555-560); but another Pope, Nicholas I, assured the Bulgarians that baptism in the name of Christ alone was sufficient. Celestine III. declared, the marriage tie dissolved if either party became heretical. Innocent III. annulled this decision, and Adrian VI. called Celestine a heretic for giving it. And upon so vital a doctrine as the divinity of Christ, Liberius, ;one of the early bishops of Rome, was himself heretical. Yes, one of their infallible popes, upon whose interpretations of Scripture the whole world of scholars and theologians is bidden to wait, actually subscribed an Arian creed, though Arianism is by that very church denounced as _ a most dangerous heresy. Such facts as these are not exactly suggestive of unity, consistency, or truth, are theyf Applause.), Testimony of the Fathers on the Sufficieny of Die Boriptwreg I have said tHat we are Protestants because' we build xror faith solely upon the revelation of God in Holy Scripture. t*et me say that in taking this position we stand side by side with the primitive Fathers of the Church. If-there is anything that can be established from the writings of the Fathers, it is that they held the Bible to be the full and perfect rule of faith, that it contains the whole word of God. and that what is outside of it need not be .regarded- For example, St. Basil says, "It is a most manifest fall from the faith to introduce anything that is not written in the Scriptures/' .He also says that "to detract from Scripture, or to add to the faith anything that is not there, is most manifestly forbidden by the apostles."' O paulist Fathers, take note of that! You will get St. Paul after you! (daughter.) Another witness is St. Cyprian, who maintained that to find out what interpretations are genuine we should not take the words of the popes of Rome, but-search-the Scriptures as the only trustworthy record of apostolic tradition. (Good for St. Cyprian! say I.) And St. Jerome says, "We accept those things that are written (in the Bible), we reject those things that are not written." Bible Reading by tbe laity But then, we have not got out of our difficulties yet,���������O, no! We are told that it is dangerous for the lay people to read the Bible in the vernacular, because they cannot understand it. They will inevitably err in seeking to- understand it. The Council of Trent says, "It is manifest by experience that if the Holy Bible in the vernacular be suffered to be read everywhere without distinction, more evil than good arises." More evil to whom? (Applause.) The Council goes on to say that permisison may be granted to read translations of the Scriptures made by Catholic prelates, to those whom they understand are able to receive no harm from such reading." (Of course if you can persuade the prelates that you will get no harm from it, you may get a "dispensation"!) "But whosoever shall presume to read these Bibles or have them in their possession without such faculty, shall not be capable of receiving absolution of their sins unless they have .first given up their Bibles to the ordinary!" That does not agree with Cardinal Gibbons's position, but it makes it worse for Cardinal Gibbons. He is a big man, but he is not so big as the Council of Trent. Now, where do the Fathers of the primitive church stands on this question as regards reading of the Bible by the lay. people? I answer, the ancient Fathers did not fear that the people would discover contradictions between the Bible and their teaching- They never desired to teach anything that was nol^ in the Bible. St. Chry- sostom says, "All things are plain and simple in Holy Scriptures; all things necessary are evident." "The apostles and prophets have made all things proceeding from them plain and simple to all, in order that each person, even by himself, may be able to learn what is said from the mere reading of it;" and Si. Augustine says, "God hath made the Scripture to stoop to the capacity of babes and sucklings;" and again St. Chrysos- torn, "Great is the precipice and deep the gulf that opens before ignorance of the Scriptures. It is downright abandonment of salvation to be ignorant.of divine laws. .It is this that has caused heresies;^it is this that has led to profligate.living ; it is this that has turned things upside down; for it is impossible for any one to come off without profit who constantly enjoys, such reading with intelligence." ' Oh course we do not pretend that plain and ���������. unlearned people can understand' everything in the Bible. We ministers do not pretend to do J that ourselves, the most learned of us; but we do claim that the things which are necessary to1 salvation, the, things necessary to guide one through this world unto a better world beyond, i ���������these things are so plain that "he may run that readeth','in the Holy Scriptures. "The wayfar-' ing men, though fools, shall not err therein. (Applause.) .^ >' Nevertheless, we are told that the Protestant' principle of the interpretation, of the Bible leadsj to endless variations and confusion in regard to j its doctrines. The Church of Rome, on the contrary, they tell us, teaches one and the sameJ doctrine in all parts of the world, and in all ages] of the world. The Variations of Romanism Well, to my feeble understanding, it really apJ pears that no other church in Christendom has! varied so much in the doctrines it has taught] throughout the ages as the Church- of Rome. She] has added article after article to her fatith- The Creed- of Pius IV, A.D. 1564/ contains twelvel new articles of faith bound upon the churchij Among these were the doctrines,of tradition, the seven sacraments, the mass," purgatory, invocaJ tion and veneration of saints, image veneration,] and indulgences. Again, in 1854 she added a new article of faith,! ���������the immaculate conception of the blessed Vir-j gin; and in 1870 she imposed upon the church the] awful and tremendous doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope. Now let me give you a striking example of the^ variations of doctrine in the Roman Church. iThat famous orator and controversalist, Bossuet^j wrote a book to, prove that Protestantism is false I because Protestants disagree among;themselves,��������� and Romanism is true because its doctrine isj always the same and its children never disagree/] Now Bossuet was the terror of Protestant, arid j the most trusted champion of his church. He! was called the-"Eagle of Meaux." No writer* of his, age in the Roman Church was more illustrious than he. But, mark you, he fought not only against the Protestants, but, against the, theory of the infallibility of the Tope." What! was the result? He is treated by the dominant J Roman Catholic school today as no better than al Protestant. He is classed with aliens and here-] tics by no less a man than Cardinal Manning] himself. Another of their popular writers goes] so far as to class the great Bossuet with devil j worshippers because of his opposition to the doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope. (Applause.) ] Ah! that was dangerous- He did not know] what would be the result. Poor man! What ai fall! It is almost equal to Lucifer's fall. He is no better than a Protestant; yes, fit only to company with devil worshippers. Just think of it! Can you say anything worse'of a man than that?, Think of it! A man may find himself among| devil worshippers, worse than the swine of Gad- ara, just because he opposes the infallibility ofj , the Pope. Poor Bossuet, with ail his eloquence' and learning, did not escape. This is, I think, a| most,instructive example of the uncertainty and the shifting character of the doctrines of the Church of Rome. . ' _ My dear friends, the doctrine of the Church' of] Rome, her creed, is different today from what itj was before Pope Pius IX became Pope. In the' middle of the last century, forty-three years ago, it was not- an article of faiththat ihe Pope isin- fallible. Today it is. Sixty-three years ago it was not an article of faith that the Virgin was born without sin. Today it is. Now let me give an amusing example of the uncertainty in which the Romanist fijSds himself /| in regard to the doctrine that he is required to believe. Keenan's Cathechism was published with the approval of theScotch Roman Catholic bishops, and also recommended by the Irish bishops. This catechism contains the following question and answer: "Qusetion.���������Must not a Catholic believe the Pope in himself to be infallible ? "Answer.���������This is a Protestant invention. It is no article of .the Catholic faith." - This was before the year 1870. After the year 1870 the catechism was republished, but this question and answer had disappeared. So you see how they agree! (Applause.) (To be Continued) Sale of Fort George Government Lots We would draw our readers attention to the government sale of lands at Fort George to be held at Vancouver on the 19th, 20th and 21st May. This offers a unique opportunity to the1 investor to get in at rock bottom prices. The terms are good���������only 6 per cent, interest being charged��������� and three years allowed to complete payments. The sales will be conducted by Messrs. Armstrong & Ellis, Birks' building, Granville street. This young and enterprising firm are to be congratulated on the confidence reposed in them by the government, and it says a great deal for their business abilities that the government should0 have selected them out of the many applicants who were anxious to get control of the sale. We understand Messrs. Armstrong & Ellis have opened large and spacious offices in the Birks' building, where they will conduct a land sale bureau.

Although refrigerators may be of any size or shape, there are definite rules which must be observed in proportioning the air ducts in order to obtain a proper circulation of air. There are also certain other requirements that must be observed if the refrigerator is to reach the high standard now being required by that great safeguard to the public well being, the Board of Health. Economy requires that the walls, ceiling and floor are well insulated so as 'to retard as far as practical the -heat units which are at all times seeking to equalize temperatures. Cork in the several different forms, felt, insulating papers, mineral wool, etc., are all god insulators. \ 'Insulation in the outer wall (so- called dead space) should be such as to repel rodents or other vermin. Each' air space in walls should be sub-divided into small thin cells to prevent movement as far as possible of imprisoned air. All insulating ma: terial, whether felt, wool or cork, < should be thoroughly protected from dampness by the highest grade of moisture proof paper obtainable. . 'No oiled paper or any emittting any odour whatever should be used. Great care should be. used in placing nails and screws and sufficient deafening, felt to make each joint practically, air tight. ��������� While .thoroughly, air --seasoned lumber is preferable, it is next to impossible to procure it in this, dart'of 'the country, and nothing but kiln < dried lumber should enter into the construction. Insulation is an' art in frigerator/is said to bej'sweatirigwhen 6ne\ can rub aV slight moisture: -from ceiling or walls or" a grednish mould appears in': any part of the ref rigera- A- refrigerator that /Sweats should never be used under any circumstances as any food stuffs placed within wili rapidly deteriorate^ m quality besides being likely to' absorb odours from other food. The higher, the temperature, the faster will all unsealed food stuffs throw off moisture impregnated with finely decomposed matter. Cases resulting from this decomposition will invariably be present, but in a identically constructed refrigerator, will almost instantly be condensed on the ice, or in other words absorbed in the water resulting from the melting ice. This water as it passes through the waste pipe, which must be trapped, carries off all the impurities. A refrigerator that "sweats" ever so slightly, is extremely unsanitary because the humidity, ever present in the atmosphere, condenses on walls or ceiling and the objectionable gases are there absorbed, then evaporated, only to be again absorbed by the 'ood stuffs. ' A refrigerator at the freezing point must have a circulation of air at least 20 feet to the minute; at 45 degrees Fahrenheit���������30 feet .to the minute. With the above circulation of air. no refrigerator can sweat and no mould or other fungus can collect on walls or ceiling, and the air within will always smell sweet and clean. Most refrigerators that "sweat" arc built' by amateurs or by what are known as rough carpenters (hammer and saw men). These men never kavjng'had a technical training are j^eUerally ready to attempt anything in -the wood line, at the cost of tbe employer. The refrigerator, not being tested scientifically, appears to be all right, 'until after a few morths or possibly a year or two, when the walls have become saturated and fhtfh commence ..to sweat. It is needless to say such refrigerators are a ercat ing Vor manufacturing or refrigerators being, subjected to a strict examination as to his technical 'knowledge and taking out a license for that particular work and issued a certificate accordingly; itself, and only expert, experieneced .menace to the health of individuals The population of 'our province "is around 400,000, but if our existing in'r: dustries "were patronized as they ought to be, our population would be increased five fold at least, and financial stringency and trade depression would be unknown.

The history of official auction sales of lots in Vancouver, Point Grey and Prince Rupert '��������� proves conclusively the keenness the investing public has shown in purchasing such lots. In 1909, some 3000 lots inv Prince Rupert were sold at auction, and about a million and a half dollars were realized. Notwithstanding the high prices paid, handsome profits were made. These sales are to be held in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George.
