Tremendous Undertaking Coincident with the purchase of "Ads" Limited und lhe Uroadhridge Co milium til Photo Company by the Advertisers' Corporation ol British Coluinhin, Limited, Announcement waa made, that arrangements hud been completed to send Mr. Broad- bridge, a stall of assistants, and an expert moving pic tin- operator from end to end of the Province with a view to making the lirst cumplete p ctorial record of British Columjbia'H growth, Industrial progress and opportunities ever ae tempted, Although the organizers of the Advertisers' Corporation of British Columbia, Limited, have been working out thc details of this undertaking for several weeks, it wus impossible for them to make any definite announcement of their plans until thoy hnd completed the purchase of every share of stock in "Ads" Limited from the original stockholders. Their purchaso of "Ads" Limited and of thc Broadbridge Commercial Company, together with their taking over thc business of ttu- Yukon aud Southeastern Alaska Publicity Bureau, the organisation of a thoroughly equiped art department and tlie enlargement of the working staff gives to the new company the dis- t. action of being the largest advertising organization in the new West, and their proposition to prepare a comprehenHive pictorial story of Canada's riches* province has met with the Immediate endorsement of Government officials and of inlluential men whose interests lie in the industrial and commercial upbuilding of the Province and in the development of its vast natural resources. In spite of the unprecented industrial growth of British Columbia, and the rapid development of its wealth, no systematic effort ever before has been made to prepare a pictorial record for the benefit of immigrants and outside investors. The publicity organization of the Eastern agricultural provinces have made their strongest appeal to investors and to immigramts through the wide dtstri-i hutlon of well made photographs re-, vealing conditions as they actually arc. The success of this method of campaigning was evidenced hy the enormous influx of people into Alberta immediately followin the publication of the tlrst few hundred photographs of Alberta's wheat fields and granary, published in the news phperu of England and America. Following the plan of the Eastern Canadian provinces, the Government bureaus of New Zealand and of the various provinces of Australia imported photographers from England and expended n vast sum of money and a yoar of time in photographing all points of Interest. AgAin the result of this method was immediate, as is demonstrated by recent statistics compiled by emigration officials. California adopted the same plan, and at tho present time the State of Oregon is spending $101800 for photographs of the Eastern aud Interior section of the States. Mr. Richard Urondbridge, who will bave charge of the tour arranged by the Advertisers' Corporation ofUrlt- ish Columbia, Limited, is probably the best known commercial photographer in British Columbia. During the years that he has worked in Vancouver he has become known not only as a photographer, but as a man whose abilities enable him to take the right kind of a picture from the right point of view. And tbe tour of Mr. Broadbridge has been so carefully mapped out that no city in the Province and no district will be overlooked, and the time schedule has been so arranged that Mr. Broadbridge will reach each section of British Columbia at a time when Its most Important industries are in the best shape to he photographed. The story which Mr. Broadbridge'B camera wlll toll will he the most WEEKLY TRADK REPORTS. Clear weather for the past week has helped retail distribution, but warmer weather is needed to stimulate trading in spring and summer merchandise. Tbe demand for agricultural tm- complete that has ever been told about British Columbia. In spite of all the literature that has been pub- lisued about British Columbia, no adequate description of the extent and resources of the province has been placed in the bands of the pub* Lie. Few persons ever have stopped to consider that the StateB of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana uud Kentucky could be set down iu British Columbia and still room enough for part of Minnesota, a third ofOhio, more than a third of Iowa and a good-sized slice of Missouri, And when thc vast area of British Columbia is considered in the light of comparison with the areas of the greatest agricultural States in Am merica, it it easy to understand why full justice never has been done the Province from a photographic point, of view, and is also easy to appreciate the magnitude of the undertaking which the Advertisers' Corpora- t on ot British Columbia Limited, has shouldered. During the Broadbridge tour of the Province, moving pictures will be made at all points of interest, and will portray nut only the industrial life of British Columbia, but also the more picturesque side of the provincial life, which cannot fail to make a special appeal to tourists. Arrangements have been made with moving picture theatres throughout Eastern Canada, America, an'd England for the presentation of these motion [.ictuses, and the films will be furnished to the theatres as rapidly as they are developed, so that long before Mr. Broadbridge returns from his tour the public of the English-speaking world will have seen Dritish Columbia at Its best. In addition to the photographs} which Mr. Broadbridge will take vita, his camera and with his moving picture machines, a large number of pan-; oramfc views will be made, and ar-j raugements have been completed for j the publication of many of these pictures in the leading magazines of Canada, the United States and England. The new company which has taken over "Ads" Limited and the Broadbridge Commercial Photo Company has a personal which bespeaks of the company's ability to carry on the work of exploiting British Columbia nnd Its resources In a way that will reflect credit to the Province. Mr. ! hillock C. Dundy, managing director and treasurer of the company, was formerly head of the Yukon and Southeastern Alaska Publicity Bureau, and lt one of the best known community advertising mon west of the Mississippi. Mr. David Swing Kicker, editorial director and secretary, was for a number of years editor of the "Chicago Sunday Tribune." He loft the "Tribune" to become chief "ad writer" for the Herbert Kaufman and Handy Company, and recently was the manager of "Ads" Limited until that company was absorbed hy the present organization. Mr. Percy G. Bundy, director of the art department of the new company, was the leading illustrator for all the advertising matter issued by the Southern Pacific Railroad during the strenuous campaign of a few years ago, and recently came from Winnipeg, where his work had attracted widespread attention among those who keep an eye open to community publicity. Mr. Rlch-j ard Broadbridge, photographic director and vice-president of the company, is well known throughout the Province as a commercial photographer wbo can be relied upon to combine the artistic with the practi-j cal, and his work has attracted attention from publications through- out the Dominion.

BY BRENTANO'S (Continued.) we bad passed through tne postern and found ourselves iu uuotiier court. Opposite us was the onl dotijou. Its appearance was more tnau impressive, i It wus hlgb and square, und it was on account of Its shape ilmt It was known us tbe square tower. And us this tower occupies ttie most ttupor- tant corner ot the fort Ideation it was also known ns the corner tower, "That lower youder In the opposite corner," went on bid Ith, "ts the lower of Churles the Bold, so culled because he wus tbe duke who furnished the plnns when U become necessary to transform tbe defenses of the chateau bo as to mnke tbem resist the attacks of tbe artillery. Old Hob has made this tower his study. 1 huve uever been able to refuse old Bob anything he wanted. Old Bob," she added, with a charming smile, "is my uncle, 'that ls the name he taught me to call him by wben I was a little thing. Ue went to Paris on the 5 o'clock train, but ne will be buck tomorrow. Ah, here is au oubliette:" And she showed us iu tbe center part of tbe second court a small shaft which she called ro ma uth. a lly au oubliette uud above which a eucalyptus tree, with its white blossoms aud us leafless limbs, leaned like a womuu over a fountain. Since we bad entered tbe second court we understood better—tbe topographical piau of the Fort ot Hercules. Tbe custle bad beeu built lu 1140 by the seigneurs ot Mortoiu. ln order lo isolate it completely trom the laud tbey bad made an Island ot tbe peninsula by cutting away tbe narrow lata- mus which connected it with tbe mainland. Tbe Isthmus iu tbe course of tbe centuries bad again resumed us old form, tbe drawbridge bad been thrown dowu, and tbe trenches had filled up. The walls of tbe Chateau of Hercules followed tbe outline of tbe peninsula and were built upon tbe rocks, und the latter in some places extended over tbe waters in sucb a manner tbat u little ship might have taken shelter beneath tbem, fearing no enemy while thus protected. 'J his building wus murvelously well adapted for defense. The fort was entered by way of tbe nortb gate, which guurded the two towers, A and A',,connected by u pus- sugeway. These towers, which had Buffered greatly during the last sieges of the Genoese, hud been repaired to some slight extent some time afterward und hud shortly before we cume to I tochers Itouges been mude hnbllable by Airs. Itntice, who used them us servants' quarters. The front or the tower A served as the keeper's lodge. A little dour opened lu the side of the tower upon the piissugeway and enabled any one looking out to observe till those who cume or went. The entrance to the castle was closed only by a little gate which any one might open at will. This entrance was the only one by which It wan possible to get into tbe chateau, As 1 have snld, in pass* lug through this gale one found him- eelf In ttie first court, closed lu on ull Rides by the walls and (be towers. As to tho towers B, 11' and It", which bad for a considerable time longer preserved Ilieir uniformity tind tbeir tlrst height und the pointed roofs ot which bad been replaced by n platform designed to support the artillery, tbey bad later been razed to tbe height of tbe boulevard parapets, und tbeir shape seemed almost like tbat of a half moon. Tbe new custle ou tbe plan Is nt C C La Louve, as I buve said, bad not been changed at all, but still reored Its dark bulk against the blue waters of the Mediterranean, a strange, weird figure, looking thousands of years old. I have spoken also of tbe ruins of tbe cbnpel. The undent commons (shown on the map by Wi. near the pnrnpet between B nnd B', had been transformed Into tbe stables and the kitchens. One could only penetrate Into tbe second Inclosure through the postern (indicated by ID. which Mrs. Arthur Ranee called "the tower of tbe gardener" and which was actually only a pavilion, formerly defended by the tower B" and by another lower situated nt C and which had entirely disappeared at the time of the erectiou of the new castle (shown at C OO. A mont nnd a wall started from B" to shut on I at the Tower of Chnrles the Bold, advancing nt 0 in the form of a npnr tn the midst of ihe first court and entirely Isolating the court, which they completely closed in.

The latter for four years back had been absent lu 1'atagoula.

Lac Cayamont, Que., (Special).— There is a world interest in the simple story of Madame Thomas Lauri- nult of this place. In her own words it is as follows: "Dodd's Kidney Pills cured my husband of Kidney Disease and myself of Bright's Disease. We recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all who suffer from Kidney or Bright's Disease." This is a splendid example of the grand Work Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing among the plain people of Canada. Kidney disease is the commonest of all ailments among those who have to work hard, becuuse the kid neys are the first part of the body to feel the wear and tear of heavy work. When the kidneys go wrong the blood goes wrong, and the whole body goes wrong. Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes and Bright's Disease are the usual results. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure these by simply curing the kidneys. The block fox is very rare. Its pelt is marketed nt London, where the available supply is offered at auction four times a year.

Bessie and 1 fell In lore naturally— In fait, too naturally. 1 hiiTe often thought how pleasant It must be for the animals and birds to mate without having to look Into each otber'a record. A tiger may not only kill a uitin. but eat him and mate with • moat reH|K,-table ttgreaa without any question, beiug asked. Two birds may meet ou tbe branch of a tree and without the slightest knowledge ot each other become mates. Hut mau •ud woman must not ouly know all ■ bout each ottier. but be of the same grade and each bave a clean record, or there comes a lot of trouble. Aud the most singular thing about It all Is that either of them will mur der any animal, except their own kind, •nd eat tbe carcass. 1, being an artist, wben the buds were beginning to open went Into the country to catch that first delicate ■bade of pale green which appears on the trees at that seasot. I was sitting •o my trl|ud in a wood working In tfw colon, when I heard tbe bark of a dog. ■nd a moment Inter a little terrier ■tood growling nt me. A girl, budding like the trees, not Into leaves, but luto womanhood, hurried up, calling in a •oft voice: "Frisk! Come away, Frisk! What do you mean?" I paid no attention to the dog, and there waa uo need for tbe girl to call bim off, for he bad no Idea of attacking me, but he gave me an excuse for addressing the girl. And yet I question if any excuse was required. People who meet In crowds are constrained by conventionalities. We two, meeting In a wood, nvltb not a sound about ua—when the dog bad ceased barklng-except an occasional twitter of birds engaged in Best building, felt constrained In another way. We were Impelled to be companionable. I began by telling ber Bot to mind tbe dog, tbat he wouldn't disturb me, and ahe sidled around where she could catch a view of my ■ketch. One thing led to another uutll .we felt quite well acquainted. I had chosen a delightful spot to transfer to canvas, lt was on a declivity. An opening In the trees below revealed a |«tch of landscape, while nt my feet gurgled a stream, at this season well ■applied with water from snows re- cently melted at higher altitudes. Tbe ■Ir waa balmy aud laden with per fumes. One bas but to mention this outline picture to Indicate the result. Given ■n opening spring In a wood, buds, wild Bowers, twittering birds, a vltta, a brook, a dog and lastly a young mau Ind a young woman, both lo the flrst freshness of youth, what follows? Why, exactly what tbe poet says-the young man's (and tbc young woman's, fancy turns to thoughts of love. The result of this meeting was an •ther meeting nnd another and another. I didn't count them; I wns too preoccupied to do so. I painted so long on toy picture that before I finished It the flellcate shade 1 hnd come to the country for had grown Into a dark green Ind the full grown leaves had blotted nut the vista which gave the work more than half Its beauty. But while thla beauty was disappearing the bud of love was opening. So much for the natural features of thla story. Now come the artificial— vtf, a girl's confession to her father tbat ahe had met ber fate, but bad not met with nny knowledge of that fate'a antecedents; then a command from Ihe father, tears from the girl and a triangular condition between the father, the girl und the artist such aa bus taken place ever since the first primeval girl planned to give her father tbe slip and climb a tree with the Brat primeval youth, tbe tree being too high for the old gentleman to follow. Bessie's father was really as reasonable aa we considered hlin unreason- able. He merely wished to know who I waa. Since 1 had lived In Soutb America from the time I waa two until twenty-two years of age I must solid there for my credentials, Involving a delay of a month or moro. What cruel. ty to force a pair of lovers to wait all that time In a state of suspense! "Sweetheart," I snld to her one day, "■appose the reply ahould come that 1 im an escaped defaulter, Jailbird, murderer." "I would not believe the story." "But your father would," 1 added ■eaten tloualy. One day, after having painted alone In tbe wood, ou leaving lt I saw something half covered with shriveled branches and dead leaves. I examined It and found tbe dead body of ■ man. Horrified lest I might be Implicated In a murder, I threw back what I bud removed and waa about lo hurry away wben I aaw two men coming for me. Within Ave minutes I wu on my way to the nearest puttee atatlon. My antecedents were now nrt eo much needed tu enable me to poisess my love aa to preserve my neck. The statu, hnd changed a second time. The caw was not now one of a father, ■ girl and nn unknown mnn. but a father, a girl and nu unknown man accused nf murder I sent at once • bote to Bessie Informing her of my trouble en ouravtiig her tn keep ap ■ goal heart nnd assuring her of my Innocence. Hecelvlng no reply. I concluded tbat her father would not permit her to send a reply. Brooding In my cell, I could not but revert to the good old primeval times I bave cited before when a suitor might kill aa many of bis fellow be lng. as he pleased without being ob Jetted to on thut ecore for a sou-Ill- law. I had killed uo oue. 1 wus mere ly auepected of killing a man. And If Bessie's father did uut kill men he killed the uext grade of animal below men-or other men did tbe work fur bim, which la Just aa criminal -and devoured tbe Been. It teemed lo -Ut thai the only logical Iwlng* ue tha beasts and the birds. They kill and eat each otber without Inquiring whether or no they are eating the same species, while man—well, thla ls what man doea. Ue kills and eats every animal be low himself. To kill even oue of bis own kind be considers tbe greatest ot crimes unless be kills tbem in battle, where the more men he kills the bigger man he Is, which Is exactly what made the chiefs among his savage ancestors. 1 was so Impressed with this reasoning that I asked my Jailer for writing materials and wrote It down. or. rather, elaborated tbe bare skeleton I bad thought out. When tt wus finished I asked to bave it delivered to Bessie's father. Iu due time a reply came as follows: I hav. always desired my daughter to marry a mul, distinguished for aoine- thlng. Artists and poet. ar. usually distinguished tor their Ideality. You. being one of the kind, share that distinction. Vou mny further hiy claim to being th. moat Impracticable numskull that, to my knowledge, tlie world ha. yet produced. Vou have Interested me In yourself and your case. 1 have retained th. heat criminal lawyer 1 can nnd to tak. ctuirg. of your case, .nd If your Innocence I. proved I .hall deem my daughter honored In wedding .uch an eminent fool. This reply stung me to the quick. I regarded it as tantamount to a refusal of his daughter's hand even If my Innocence were proved. Aa to the lawyer be spoke of hiring for mc. I wrote him Immediately tbat 1 had engaged tho moat eminent counsel lu tbe laud and would bave uo need of tba oue be had retained. What was my surprise, when I wus folding and addressing this second letter,' to receive n visit from Bessie. She threw herself Into ny arms hysterically. I couldn't tell whether It wus Joy or grief that moved ber. When she became calmer I spoke of her father'a communication. "Father has turned right around," she said. "He's your friend forever." "Really?" "Yea, really. He considers you Innocent of this crime with which you .'.re charged. He aaya that no mun who could have written thut letter could bave committed murder and If be did be would convince the Judge tbut there was no ense against him, since there is no logical difference between killing a man and a steer." "I am glad," I said, embracing her, "that in thousands of years one couple may in some respects return to the natural methods of our progenitors. Are you quite sure your father la sincere In his change of mind toward me?" "1 nm. If he were not he would not have permitted me to come here to visit you. He says you are the first man be ever met wbo did not talk and act artificially. He's simply delighted with you." I allowed ber tbe note I had written declining her father'a offer of counsel. She hurst out laughing. I aaked what amused her. "You huven't any money to pay counsel," she aald. "Upou my word! 1 never thought of thnt." "You ure ideal and Impractical," sh* aald. "That's the reaaon 1 love you." And she embraced me Our colloquy waa broken In upon by tbe sheriff, wbo came ln to say that tbe real murderer had been ar* rested nnd had confessed. 1 was free to go. At the same time be handed me u letter poatmarked Itio Janeiro. "Ah," I exclaimed, "my credentials!" Slipping the letter ln my pocket, I accompanied Bessie to her father'* house. He greeted me warmly, aad 1 handed bim the credentials 1 bud received at the Jail. Removing the envelope, he began to read, hia eyes opening wider as he read, "Are you n fool or a knave?" he aaked, looking up nt me. "Both," 1 replied. "What Is Ity naked Bessie. "Why, daughter, thia pastoral business of yours haa reaulted In your catching the only son nod heir of tb* biggest coffee plnnter ln Brazil. I knew when 1 received bla note that he waa an original, but I didn't know he was rich. You tell me," addreaslng me, "that yon are both fool and knave. Will you kindly Inform me of the Introspective reasoning by which you have arrived at tbta result?" "Well," I replied, "no one but a fool who haa the career before bim that I have would apend his time sitting on a three legged stool ln a wood daubing, and no one but a knave would make love to a girl without ber father even knowing that he Is doing it." It waa decided that Bessie aad I should be married In June, and I concluded for my prospective father-in- law'* sake—who must hnve a noted man for his daughter, even If a fool- to return to Bntr.ll. I told Bessie'* father that 1 ahould like to Iw married ln the wood on a carpet of June roses, whereupon he aald that be bad had enough of thai nonsense and didn't wish any more of It, Bo we were married la a very matter of fact faahloa at the brides horn* of course, and anlled a few day* later for my country.

It was considered generous, however, to give the wedded pair two sitoona, one for each, with their initials plainly marked, so there would be no eoulu sion nt lashionnble tables. There were also spoons which were a combination ol marrow borer (or handle and just plain stKKin (or tho bowl. How the Roundheads rebelled against the religion ot the Catholics is shown by spoons Irom which the saints have heen chopped.

Mat urose reluctantly "I reckon there's oothln' else for It" she snid to herself, "hut It's hard on lad." She went to the bed aud put her band on the man's shoulder. "Dad." she called In bis ear, leaning forwnrd. But there was no response She waited a moment, then dropped her hnnd u|ion his forehead. "Oh. dad!" she exclaimed and fell to her knees, wtth a moan, by the aide of the bed. Tlie forehead wus clammy to the touch, and an instinctive messenger of the truth bad darted to the girl's heart-the old man was dead. Mat laid her ear over bis heart, and another moan of horror eBcaped her lips. "Ilal-loo-eh-boo!" came over the river, filiated lu through the cabin loorway and fell upon the girl's ears. The ferryman would never more earry the boat over tbe river, and the terrible loneliness which enme tn Mm witb the thought almost prostrated Ber. Alone, alone, alone with the dead, with the storm gathering outside and the voice on the breeze calling from over the river. "Hal-loo-eh-hoo! Hal-loo-eb-hoo!" It -a me ngain. But this time It brought a tnlte of comfort to the ear of the girl; It re lleved a little of ibe loneliness. A aud den thought came to Mat's mind, ami ,be ruse and staggered to the doorway inflating her lungs, throwing out her chin and tiptoeing with the effort, she called uut through the night: "Ilal-loo-eh bulloo-eh-boul" It thrilled through the blackness ot lhe sky. every tremor of it bearing the suffering of her breast Mut wmiieu lhe companionship of a living human being through this nlgbt, uud ahe bud determined to take the bout over the river fur the traveler.

I know, for leavln* yuu this little while, but I am ao lonely." She pressed ber lips to the clammy brow and went oui, closing the doot behind her. Down tbe rugged ravine, with nothing to guide ber footsteps, she mude her way. She kuew tbe big lree where the bout path led off from lhe mnln road to the lauding place al the edge of the water, and she knew every Inch of the path, which was now oue with tbe unbroken darkuess of everything. The roar of tbe river grew louder ua she approached until she could bear the waves lapping tbe aides uf tbe bunt at ber feet "llal-loo-eh boo!" Mat called softly, and "Wnltln"' came tbe answer from uver tbe water. Mat shoved off In tb* long bateau and carried II with all ber might against the current of the Btream. "Hal loo eh hoo!" she called again when near the opposlt* shore, ond the traveler's answet told ber she wus making Ibe lauding safe. But when the keel touched tbe sand Mat's strong arms gave way under the strain they had had to austalu. "(Jet ln. stranger," ahe said, "but I must rest before we go.

"No. I guess not" Tbe stranger'* voice hod grown so wonderfully soft that Mat felt an Impulse to fall back and pat her hand upon bis arm. But now tlie faint light shining through the chinks outlined the cabin door to their eyes, und Mat soon caught ihe laichstrlng In ber hand.

TO MAKE AW ASFARAGUS BED ! Direction* by ■ Suc.tnful Virginia Grower of tho Vogotabfo. The first uuii must lm,»orlum feature |q a good permanent uspnragus bed 18 : having a piece uf good soil, ouiurally j well dn_ltied and handy to the house. It sbould be tbe best spot ta the gar- den. Make your soil as rich as you can with thoroughly rutted manure, nnd set out three-year-old plains so thut tbe crown is Just below the surface. Bave the routs of each plant well spread out and cover lightly with tbe richest dirt you cau bud, or If you are in no hurry fur results you can plant tbe seed either in a bed to be transplanted ur where they will re- : main in tbe bed. 1 prefer the latter method, declares a Virginia corre- spondent of Ynxm Progress, And wben I say "bed" I mean what the term "garden bed" Implies—that Is, a rich, deep si.il. full uf bumus as well as fresh organic matter, ln a dry and j sunny place aud bave the rows to run east und west. If yuu plant three-year-old roots vou van cut some asparagus the next sea- sor If you nre in a hurry, bin it is better not to. I_nough space must be left between the rows to cultivate and wa k lit wben cutting the roots lu tba j spring. l'ut 1 would not stop at merely mak- I inr u bed or two. If you buve some ' rii li land along fence rows where there Is space enough for something; to grow scatter soma seed, nud the chances are that in a few years you will lie getting as much asparagus from these out of the way {duces us from the beds that you cultivate and pay special attention to. And another point, when you are planting asparagus If you are near a good town It may lie well t<> plant for a great deal more than the family needs. No oth- i er vegetable is more salable. If there are nnv who feel the need of more Information they can get but- latins on the subject from their state experiment station or tbe department j of agriculture at Washington. As to those who already have as- i purugus beds, I will say tlmt it will ! be well worth while to put on them a j good thick coat of good barnyard manure free from weed seed. It Is better to do It In the fall or winter. JEWELED DOG COLLARS. Worn by Pampered Pets of Society Folk. Have vou loo' ed at your science watch to fm-I out what time it is?

Whoever thus approaches the subject cannot tail of a blessing from God, in harmony with the Masters prayer, "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth" (John Jtvii, 17). Our topic must be. What is the Gospel of which St. Paul waa not asharn- ed—"the faith once delivered unto thn saints"—-"one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism" (Jade 3; Ephesians iv, 6). The speaker showed that tlie Roman Oatholic Church, in order to unite witb others, would need to cut out of hei creed everything not found in tlie Bible—prayers to saints, homage tu pictures and images, the sacrifice of the mass, holy candles, holy water, Purgatory, the infallibility of the Pope. and the general theory that the clergy alone are the Chur* and brethren ol Christ, and the laity are merely the Children of the Church. He acknowledged that so great u concession could scarcely be expected at once; that the study of the Bible must prepare Catholics to accept it as the only standard of the "faith once delivered to the saints." The Protestant Episcopal creed next had attention. Little that was objectionable was found. One point alone Could cause any hesitancy, he was sure—Apostolic Succession. He urged that ni) Scripture could be found sustaining this theory in clear terms. On lhe contrary, he gave numerous citations in proof that the twelve Apostles only possessed plenary inspiration and were directly under Divine, control -St. Paul taking the place ol Judas. These are the twelve foundation stones of the New Jerusalem, and the foundations of the holy temple mentioned by St. Peter—the twelvo authorized by tin* Master to bind or tj loose from doetrines and practices (Matt, xvlii, 18). The Westminster Confession, foundation nf the majority of Pro* testunt creeds, distinctly emphasizes tlie teaching of Brother John Calvin. We can all agree that thc words elect and election, predestinated and foreordained are Script und terms and that a truth must underlie aud pervade thom. Hut it will give none of us any pain to repudiate entirely the peculiar definitions attached to these words by Brother Calvin. Surely we aro all prepared to deny that a God of Justice, (Wisdom, Love and Power foreordained and predestinated from before the foundation of tbe world that everybody but the "elect" Bhould go to eternal torment! If wo cannot all agree as to what these terms mean, we ran unite in denying the atrocious doctrines of Uie past which have so greatly dishonored our Creator and ourselves and which have driven •o many honest minds away from God and from His Hook. lieved and taught that our Almighty Creator prepared a great hell, manned with llre-prool demons, with the fore- > knovl>*i"e that all of our rn.ee would ' go thither except as a certain tew would uu spec.ally re.-cued oy tm. | Saviour, aft -r His ooming, when He j was not s mt for over four thousand | years after the fall. Looking back j tu the "Dark Ages," we behold with j horror the terrible effects of this bias phemous doctrine upon good men o' I that time, who thought they wen j copying the Divine spirit and method*! j when tney burned one another at the stake. As we have learned that Purgatorj i-i not taught in the Bible, so also wt have learned that this hell of oui forefathers is unscrlptural—that tlu Bible hell is the grave, the tomb, the state ot death. This just penalty for sin is what the Bible everywhere teaches. We now know that the Hebrew word sheol of the Old Testa- , ment, and the Greek word hades of the '< New Testament refer to the grave, the I state of death, the tomb; and that { they are so translated more times , than they are rendered hell. We now i know that in old English literature | the word hell was so used as signifying a p t, a covered place, a grave Tin Pastor announced that free pamphlets, discussing the word hell and tbe parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus, etc., would be distributed by the ushers. With our hearts and heads agreed j to discard thos_ features oi our creeds not found in the Bible and, as far as possible, to harmonise what we do' find therein, what is the result' Is it the Gospel of which St. Paul was ' not ashamed? The speaker submitted •lur first pareuts tbat thi Beed ol the woman" shall crush evil. "shall bruise the Serpent's head." lt will also fulfil the promise to Abra , i ham. bound by Qod 8 oath "In thee : and in thy Seed shall all the families , of the earth be blessed." It accounts' tor every text appertaining to Flection, as well aa to every text teaching Free Grace. It shows the Justice of God in permitting the death penalty It shows the 1. ive of Qod in provld* : lng the redemption f >r all, by a "Ran- , ■om for all " It shows the Wisdom of (.Soil in the ordering Of alt the various steps of the Divine Program. It 1 will show tne Power ol Qod in bring- j ing back the dead to life and in up- ' lifting all the willing and obedient of ' earth to human perfection and an ' earthly Paradise. And surely the exceeding riches of God's grace, of His Wisdom, Love and Power are all demonstrated m his wonderful favor toward the saintly few now being developed as the Br.de, the Lamb's Wife (Ephesians ii. 7). Let us, beloved brethren, lay aside every weight and hindrance. Let us cume quickly into the "narrow way" and walk in the footsteps of the Redeemer and make our "calling and election sure" to a place with Him in His Throne, and in his great work \ of bless.ng and uplifting humanity.

Many centuries atfo there lived a Gtvek philosopher who cot it into his nead that life was a lamentable thing He was a man nf great eloquence and he went about declaiming to multitudes and drawing for them the dismal condition'^ of mortal man. "Life is no better than death! Life is no better than death!" So vividly did he paint the horrors of life that many who henrd him committed suicide. His journey from 1 by a trail One day after he had finished speaking an attentive listener went up to him and asked: "If life is no better than deuth, why do you not die yourself?" "Because," returned the philosopher, with his most convincing manner, "death is no bettor than life."

It is related of Albert Pell, that fine old English gentleman whose whole life was devoted to the reform of tho Enalish poor laws and to the general uplifting and improvement of the condition, moral, social, and political, of the English agricultural laborer, that one of the first well-known men whom he met as a small boy was Wilber- force, who'used to stay with his father, Sir Albert Pell, in the country. When one of the Pell's friends was an infant in anus, his nurse was swept by an election to the very foot of York hustings at a famous contest for the county in which Wilberforcc was one of the principal actors. With all the earnestness and vigor which listinguished him, he was pressing Bishop of Durham Hat Written a Special Anthem for Big Pageant. Among a collection ot coronation hymns recently published is one by the Bishop of Durham, the llrst versa of which is as follows: l.o. the King in state and splendor Bears the orown upon hi* brow; Chiefs and princes homage render, Kneeling for the knightly vow.

Surely they may : claim that, more fully than sprink- ling, it represents the underlying thought expressed in tbe symbol. Tha [ unreasonable and unscriptural thing /which they must renounce ln favor of union is that water immersion is ' a test of membership in tlie Churoh of Christ. They must admit that Cornelius, at least, was accepted of the Lord and begotten of the Spirit before his baptii-in in water (Acts *. 47L The Pastor could not think that the Baptist and Dlsclpla brethren would have much difficulty in rejecting water Immersion, as a test of Christian fellowship, if once they bsw the* matter in its trua light, thus: The Disciples, in holding that immersion In water is for the remission of sins, are claiming, in fact, that all not thus immersed are IobI — doomed to eternal torment, according to their theory. Baptists should see the ab* surdity of claiming that only the water immersed are members of tha Church of Christ, for thus, according to their theory, tbey doom to eternal torture, as unsaved, all «jf their Christian brethren who have not been immersed. Surely Baptists anil Disci- pies, thereforo, may be expected to promptly and heartily repudiate these test features of their theories. The Methodist Creed was next examined. It was commended for tha prominence it gives to the Love of Liod and His forbearance with lhe misrepresentations of those who honestly seek to bo His children. The speaker asked the Methodist brethren to forego the worshipping nl their Chtiroh and to givo the more liomnge to the Lord, He admitted the muster- fulness of their organization, but ro- minded them that their Episcopacy is not modeled after anything shown iu the New Testament, it does not even protend to bo an authority a lung the lilies of Apostolic Succession, They must admit that the establishment of its Bishopric was, at lonst, semi* fraudnI ini a supposed emergency. born uf the error that an (.plscopaJ ordination was necessary to an authority to preach, Unitedly we must all acknowledge that we grossly misunderstood the VeuchinB of our Bible when w_> ba* ble truths which they knew not how lo harmonise. Now we see that this dospel Age i.s the time in which God is calling and drawing and sealing with His Spirit and with the Truth His "very eleot," the Bride of Christ, the members of the Body of Christ, tne Royal Priesthood. Now we can see also that tha Free Grace, which Brother Wesley realized must be a part of the Divine Program, b dongi to tne coming Age, Then all the blind eyes shall !,-• opened. Then all the deaf ears shall be unstopped, Then the knowledge uf the Lord *hall till the whole earth as the waters cover the great deep. Then "whosoever will may coma and take of the water of life freely" (Rev, xxli, 17), Pastor Russell declares that the ilgneoJ the times, in conjunction with toe prophecies of tue Scriptures, clear* ly indicate to him that we are l.ving in the "harvest lime" of this Ago, which is drawing to a close In the dawning time of the Now Dispensation, which will soon be ushered in.

First Westeyan Methodist Peer. The death of Lord Wolverhampton recalls the rather curious coincidence that he. Lord CVr'ngton, and Lord Elgin, who sat together in the late Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermun'a Cabinet, were all born on the same day o' the year—via., May 16th. A powerful speaker, Lord Wolverhampton never wrote out his speeches His plan was to saturate his mind with the facts, and then to make a few notes of the order in which he proposed to deal with them in his speech. "If you would become h great speaker," he once snid, "practice, practice, practice, and always he sure of your facts."

Id considering cheap feeding and feeding for tbe best results the alio must not be overlooked. The silo la growing ln popularity year after year. It furnishes cheap feed aad good feed, it la an easy solution to tha feed question. One acre of cornstalks ln the alio is worth five acres outside. One hundred tone of silage in the alio can be boused In this form much cheaper Indeed than can a hundred tons of hay in tbe mow. Silage alone ls not a complete feed, but It Is identical with tbe green cornstalk and during the season of dry feed supplies the cow with that succulence which nearly all otber rations.excepting a ration involving alfalfa bay, do not bare. Silage and alfalfa hay will make a balanced ration and cheap. Study tbe alio question. It Is worth while. It is worth white whether you are milking a single cow or uot, Horses, bogs, pigs and calves eat silage and thrive on it as well as doea the dairy cow. **t4**4*t4******tt*** What Ha Forgot.

It would seem thnt Znm-Ruk, the famous healing Imlm wo ht*nr so highly spoknn of everywhere, is particularly useful in the family circle. A report sent hy Mrs. E. Dnvey, 786 Kllice Ave., Winnipeg, will illustrate this. She says: "My little hoy, of three, while plnying, fell from a high verandah to the ground, cutting his forehead badly. Instead of calling a doctor who would undoubtedly have put in a number of stitches, I bathed the wound well, and applied Zam- Buk. The little fellow, although suffering keenly, soon had relief from his pain. In the course of three weeks, by applying Zam-Buk daily, the wound was nicely healed. "Since then I have also used Zam-Buk for a boil which came on my check, and which proved very painful und looked unsightly, Zum- Buk soon drew the boil to a heud and it then quickly banished it. "Another time my baby was scalded on her left thigh and calf of leg with boiling water. Directly it was done I thought to use Zam-Buk, nnd spreading some on lint I wrapped up the baby's limb. Next morning she rested much easier and I applied a fresh bandage with Zam-Buk. I kept this treatment up daily, and was rewarded by seeing a great improvement each time I dressed the wound. In a very short space of time the scalds were all nicely healed. "I cannot recommend tins wonder* ful healing preparation too highly for family use, and I have such grout faith in its healing powers that my house is never without a box." For all skin injuries and diseases, piles, eczema, salt rheum, and face sores, Zam-Buk is absolutely unequalled. 50c. box all druggists nnd stores,-or post free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price.

Feeding tht Heifer For Future Dairy Usefulness. It ts very necessary thut the dairy cow have u large, strong aud well distended digestive oppurutus. For tlie purpose of dt»velopmy iIih [mrtlon of tier give tbe bei ter free access to roughage of a palatable nature, such ■s com sllnge und clover, alfalfa or oat huy, says Q, G. Van Pelt in Farm und Fireside. Clover, alfalfa or oat huy are specified lU preference to timothy nay. corn stover or straw, because they contain a much larger percentage of protein, which nutrient Is useful lu growing bone and muscle, und for this reason by their use great* er growtli of the eow will be secured. Small potatoes, mangels ami carrots ■re very useful for winter feeding Id that tbey are succulent and keep the digestive appuratus lu excellent condl. tlon, It Is not advisable to feed her heavily of concentrated grains until after she freshens. Four pounds a day of a mixture of equal parts ground corn, ground oats, bran nud ollmeul will keep her Ih excellent condition and growing rapidly when fed In conjunction with the roughage. There ls a difference of opinion ns to when heifers should freshen, but If fed well during their early life they are large and strong nt the age of twenty-four months and should freshen then In order that ihey may early in life attain tbe liubit of converting a large portion of ihelr food Into milk aad butler fat rattier than Into beef and body fat. It. on tbe other band, tbe cow ls small for her age. breed considered, It Is oftentimes better to allow her to develop further and freshen at tbe age ot thirty months.

It is believed to be due to tbe overfeeding of corn for generations, to tbe exclusion of tbe phosphate supplying grains. The trouble ts seen most frequently tn brood sows which exhaust this element ln nourishing tbe fetus und suckling the young. It should be warded against by feeding the sow during pregnancy und while nursing ou ground oats, bran nnd ollmeul, with us much milk as possible. With tbe first symptoms the following treatment should be begun, both for sows nnd for shotes three or four months of age: Oue tublespoonful of cod liver oil. fifteen grains of phosphate of lime and three drops of the fluid extract of mix vomica at a dose In a little food twice a day for several weeks If necessary.

Do this ln the middle of tbe day and there will be no danger of tbe disinfectant's flavoring the milk. I know of three neighboring farms where this was done summer and winter, and for five years not a single case of abortion occurred among a total of 125 dairy cows. !Y 9.1 TRY MURINE EYE REMEDY F_ RW,W«ak,W.-7.W.I_7-,..__ GRANULATED EYELIDS- MurineDoesn'tSmirt-Soothej EyeP»1j> D-oW> M Bariss Ira !__■>.!_-. _h Ms, tlM Maila.
