Under its protection beauty fe, nobility of character and fulness of raanh develop in symmetrical proportions as the li [blooms or water flows to the sea. Home is f Paradise of earth and the Vestibule of heav J������eep the children home as much as possible. To this end make it attractive and exercise well directed authority to restrain them from evening outings. The Curfew has been proven effective as a compliment to wise parental authority and a measureable success in- the absence of home government. To make the most of Curfew several factors must be present in its enforcement. First: A good alarm or announcement. The best of which the writer has any knowledge is in. Grand Rapids, Mich. It is a powerful siren (mill whistle) which can be heard distinctly, on any night, throughout that city of 120,00. There is something so definite and startling in its cry that every boy and girl on the street feels it rush up and down their spine, impelling them to make a bee-line for their own door without delay. A Weak voiced bell, whistle or gun instead of compelling haste is either not. heard, or being heard assures.the offender that all is well���������and procrastination is safe. Second: Judicious, unflinching enforcement of the law. Laws unenforced by authority soon become a dead letter with adults, much more with children. Soft-hearted policemen render the law ineffective. The children in one large city always rejoiced when a certain, bia/, good-natured policeman was near when Curfew announced nine o'clock p. m. This easy-going policeman would take the twang of this whistle out of their nerves by saying good-naturedly: "Boys, you had better go home." That gave another hour's extension of time. The iron hand of the law must vigorously operate the Curfew machinery or Curfew will fail. In its enforcement there should be an absence of partiality. Children's eyes are quick to see favoritism which generates anger, jealousy and rebellion, with the result that law and authority are despised and Curfew is relegated to oblivion. Third: Co-operation of parents and guardians [' is indispensible. In the absence of this, little can be done. Police are not omnipotent. There will always be retreats where children ean congregate at late hours unless the parents stand in with the police and assist them to- discover the young- , sters. Moreover, if the children know that their parents-are co-operating with the police they \f will double their diligence to be at home in good time. Again, co-operation will help the polce who, notwithstanding their angelic appearance, are realy human, and therefore responsible to influences of friendship and appreciation. Without this they may weary in well-doing and throw responsibility and all* bad consequences back on indifferent or unfriendly parents. This1 would be a calamity andsHf>uld be guarded against by patient and constant co-operation with the police. ���������W-'Ws&JWo^^ fountain and! source^ and fulness of all holiness." "He alone is the Vicar of Christ,*' Do our Protestant ministers admit this statement? Do they deny it in positive terms? When Father Vaughan arrives with the usual flourish of trumpets, will our Protestant ministers, as usual, bow down to the great Church dignitary? Will they be silent when they are told they are heretics because they are outside the pah? of the only true church on earth, the only church presided over by the only Vicar of Christ? Will they flock to hear the man who comes from the Pope, who is called "God," and the only representative of God on earth Again: "Item Bpiscopus universalisBcclesiae." Translation: "He is also the bishop of the universal church." If he be the bishop of the universal church, then the Protestants are outside the universal church, or they are under the bishop of that church- Let our Protestant ministers tell us whether they acknowledge allegiance to the pope as their bishop, or whether they are in or out of the "universal chureh." If they are under the pope, let them say so, and we shall know what to do with them and ourselves, in our ehurch relationships. If they are not under the pope as their supreme bishop, then let them tell us whether they belong to the universal church or not. If not, then what church do they belong to ? If not, where are they leading us to ? But if so, and if at the same time they are not under tiie universal church's bishop, are there two universal churches ? If two, which is right ? Father Vaughan says there is but one universal church, and its head is the pope of Rome. When our ministers of the various Protestant denominations know that- such claims are made, oft repeated, and officially affirmed by the luminaries of the Roman Catholic Church, and when they know that such claims give them, and their teachings the lie, why are they as silent as clams ? As long as the Protestant ministers sit still and permit the Roman Catholic representatives and the church officially to call them religious and theological liars, just so long will the ordinary, plain thinking lajrmen think of them as poltroons and cowards. The Protestant laity will soon begin to spew the fellow-citizens? The time is coining when the people will demand a settlement, and they will mako it, too. However, I must push along a little fiither. We cannot stop midway. Read this fine bit of Latin from the "Prompta Bibliotheca": "Hinc Papa triplici corona coronalur, lanquam rex coeli et terrae et infernorum." Translation: "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth, and of the infernal regions." Here it is in good plain Latin: "King of Heaven." Of heaven tool "King of earth." What should the kings of earth think and do in this matter ? ''King of hell.'' What will Satan think of this? He, too, is only second in his infernal regions. Poor, dethroned Satan. Answer for yourself, Satan. v. I have already asked our Protestant ministers and our loyal, patriotic citizens what they think of this mighty claim of the Pope and his church. I have left the infernal side to Satan. But now I ascend a step. There is one whom the Scriptures call the "King of Kings." That is God, and God alone. There cannot be two of such standing. Further yet! Are there two kings in heaven? While God, the Almighty, is King of Heaven, is "God" the Pope, King of Heaven too? Surely this is awful, preposterous, monstrous, blasphemous, and damnable. Will our loyalists, our Protestant ministers, our ordinary laymen, our newspaper editors, magazine writers, and all those in authority, who, because of their office, elected or appointed, have taken the oath of allegiance to King George, sit in silence, and let the emissaries of such insolent claims have the full run of this earth in quiet* Perhaps I have not grasped the situation. If not, then the public would be glad for Father Vaughan to clear up these tremendous questions of priority on the part of his pope and his church. We shall await his arrival and his announcement. A play on words, or repartee, or special pleading, or sarcasm, will not do in Vancouver, even in his own church. Too many Roman Catholics are readers of history, and too many of these men are as fearless as they are clear headed. They, too, would know the whole truth.

Prophcy and history is an elaborate romance in two volumes,���������-what was slightly hinted at in the first is gradually developed in the second volume where the author's plans and combinations are fully elucidated. It seems to us that those who pooh-pooh the yery idea of the British Israel Identity, are either grossly ignorant of the Scriptures, or are too short sighted to be able to see the wonderful similarity and relationship that exists between old Israel and ]the7Angl������Sa^ To us, English history is the expanded flower of which prophecy is the bud. The discerning chronologist or historian, who is at the same time a spiritually minded theologian, finds reflected in the British Nation almost every characteristic, nay, every idiooyncraey, which in olden times distinguished peculiar Israel from the surrounding Gentile nations. We have often asked ourselves and others the question: Could it be possible that blind, unaided chance alone has shaped and formed a nation and company of nations in the far Isles of the West and beyond the Seas, resembling in every detail the one great Nation shaped and formed thousand* of years ago in the Near East hy the omnipotent and omniscient Creator of the Universe? Wo again ask, Could it be possible that blind fate alone has allotted to Britain all the advantages and blessings which the patriarchs, and finally the great legislator Moses himself, bequeathed to each of the ten tribes respectively and distinctively! Could all these be nothing else than accidental similitudes?! Believe who may, that it be so; we, on our part, cannot stretch our imagination to such an extent! Could a blind man, however talented, chisel out a rough block of marble a magnificent statue that should meet with universal admiration? ���������Certainly not!���������far less is it possible, or even probable that the present blessings in the possession of the British have come to them by mere chance or by the natural process of evolution. As aforesaid, we. find the orthodox Jew quite willing to hear and understand the arguments of tin; British Israel advocates. It is the sceptical and stoical Jew that we find most difficult to polemise with on the subject. The latter, far from being proud of belonging to the traditionally high-bred, aristocratic race, is actually ashamed to own his origin and even denies it whenever he finds it possible. Indeed in his heart he is sorely grieved and disappointed by the accident of his birth. ... According to him, Moses made a tremendous blunder in taking the Jews out of the land of Egypt, as well as erred in geography by mislead- (Continued on Page *>> ���������"J ^>Jj- w-jrw-r^y,^ MiS/**^������Zl**W>Oii-Aj**>l ^ J,r m������" *n Jl������l" T*h "*������*������*S*J J< ��������� irtHt'fcp-iStA.'^.^l^^-u-YJ-.

No wonder then that in the eyes of such seeptics and scoffers,. the adherents of the British Israel theory are nothing more than exalted and hallucinated cranks. They laugh at the very idea that individuals belonging to a greatly honored, emancipated nation like Britain, should glory in descending from a race which, since history lxjg.au, has been a despised and rejected people���������often slaves and exiles, sjbd who arc still an astouishment, a proverb and a byword among the nations. But not so with the believing Hebrew who expects the unfoldings of Biblical promises, in the same manner as the alchemist patiently anticipates in his laboratory, the development of a combina tion of several chemicals which he is perfectly convinced must produce the desired effect. In conclusion we would say,, if the British are not in reality the lineal descendants of the exiled and dispersed ten tribes of Israel, then a great historical problem remains unsolved and the. sublime prestige of the Bible receives a severe blow. Jehovah has sworn by His throne and by His oi'dinanees that Israel shall not cease to be a nation before Him for evr.

Indeed no!���������^for, "Godis not a man that He should lie: Neither the son of a man that He should repent; Hath He promised aught and shall He not do it?

The I<*iirwestorh SUt������*yr in fact, have the bumper crop of their; ^ history; and they look to the Canadian prairies to buy a great deal of it, as times are god in Canada, while money is scarce in the United tates. This means thht there will be plenty of poor fruit for sale In our markets without any from British Columbia, and tiie returns for this class of fruit are bound to be low. Neither do the canneries want small fruit; there to no money in pie-peaches for any one. Every grower should resolve that he will not grow any peaches smaller than "90's." Any shipper knows that there will be no market for the small stuff, and that even In the earliest varieties we can grow, returns will be unsatisfactory for the small gradeo* Fortunately there is no good reason why any grower should have any percentage of the email sizes to market. It is unlikely that any frult-groweii will thin too much; it is quite certain that most growers will not thin enough. While the average man may know about thinning, be is short the nerve necessary to carry it out Most of the growers of British Columbia have not yet had enough experience to realize the difference in profits on large and small sizes. Those men who see the situation clearly and who recognize the fundamental necessity for adequate thinning should ubc their; influence by getting their neighbors xo take it up.
