'.'���������"���������-^Viv Vancouve City, Mount Pleasant, South Vancouver and The Prov ince VOLUME II HERE AND THERE <������ DUTY "���������" ACCIDENT "���������" DEATH.'' These three words represent the verdict of the coroner's jury [^relating to the death of MacAuley, the B. C. Electric lineman. In 1 "brief, it was found at'the inquest that the deceased met his death "'���������''���������������������������'���������.������������������..M.ttendinp to his duty by accidentally, in a way unknown, re- jplectrie shock resulting in his falling to tho pavement aud bta.Mtaueous death. thother* tragic reason why the electric wires should be iderground in the niost thoroughly modern and up-lo-date As long as uninsulated high-potential wires are allowed to f traverse the City, just so long may we expect such accidents as the r above. It is claimed that this man did not come into contact with a high potential wire; if that is the ease, it only emphasizes the greater danger we are running from the more highly charged wires. In any case, the whole question of "wiring" demands the most ii'serious attention from the civic authorities and the various eom- , pajiieg operating. THOSE FENDERS (?) At last Monday's Council meeting. Aid. Stevens severely criticized and condemned the street railway company for the style of fen- 1 der in use on the City cars. He characterized them as "a man trap," |7<a menace to publie safety," and further stated that "if a person [happened to be struck by a car it was an absolute certainty that [they would go under the wheels, providing the car had sufficient momentum." A resolution was submitted by the alderman which icarried almost unanimously (Aid. Hepburn voting nay), calling upon [the B.C. Electric "to equip their cars with some fender which would serve as a protection in place otan additional-danger." This has [resulted in the company notifying the City that within one month [they will equip with a '.'Watson fender" all City cars. This will be [a decided improvement, and the company will be heartily conimend- jd for their action. CITY STREETS. There is a decided improvement in the cleanliness of our streets fas a result of the recent agitation in the City Council. We are cer- Itain that with a re-orgauization of that department, much improve- |meht'Can still be made at a minimum cost. There is nothing ..which, [will advertise a city more than clean, decent, well kept streets, and [there is nothing whicii contributes more to the health and comfort >f the citizens and at so small a cost. The Council are to be congratulated for their prompt response the recent demands, and as the old saying goes, "More force to heir elbow." JUVENILE COURT. The City Council, at a recent meeting, authorized the purchase [vf the corner of Pine aud Tenth avenue for the "Detention Home" )f the Juvenile Court. It consists of a large roomy house and 100 Ly 125 feet of laud. The situation could scarcely be better, being [���������emoved from the busy center of the City, and having clean, healthy jurroundings,._It is.highly ..essential in dealing with Juvenile delin.- luents that the environment into which they are removed be of an llevating character and such as will inspire in their distorted young hinds the element of self-respect.' for after all, those who drift away rom the paths of rectitude do so, largely, because of this loss of elf-respect. Some morbid souls have objected to the establishment ft: this "Home" in certain localities because, as they aver, "it would Pffect the value of real estate." In their opinion the value of a cor- Ur lot should greatly outweigh in the public mind the value of a luman soul! But thank God, the average citizen still has sufficient oral sentiment to place, a proper estimate on the value of character comparison to material things. The establishment of this "Home," under the able aud deeply rmpathetie management of "Capt. Collier," is the final act in the litricate process of the inauguration of this modern institution, and lie "Juvenile Protection Association" are to be congratulated upon lie happy consummation of their energetic campaign. It has taken lears to accomplish, but it is well worth the effort, and, we repeat, 111 honor to the men who have spared neither time, money nor en- jrgy in securing this end. MAYOR TAYLOR'S PART. It is not generally known that Mayor Taylor was a very ma- trial factor in the final act re the Juvenile Detention Home, never- ^eless he was to the extent of $3,000.00. When the Council Avere faced the other day with the respon- )ility of securing a "-Home,"- they found that they.were short of Inds, as no provision had been made iu the estimates for this ex- fnditure. Mayor Taylor immediately offered #3.000.00 which had in voted to him as salary, aud insisted that this be diverted to the of the "Detention Home." This was a partial solution, and by jh ward relinquishing some of its appropriation, sufficient was pro- l to purchase the Home. Vancouver's Mayor is made of the Hit stuff, and gives a practical expression to his sentiments. ;OUVER, British Columbia,,? JUNE 10, 1910. No. 5 Rev. W. Lashley Hall. B. A., B. D.. the newly appointed pastor to the Mount Pleasant Methodist Church of this City, occupied the pulpit for the first time last Sunday. At both services Mr. Hall captivated his congregation. In the -evening the spacious auditorium was filled to the doors and the large audience were not in any sense disappointed in the man. The speaker took for his subject. "Christ, the Man. His Message,'^ which was handled in an accomplished manner. The construction and development of the theme was masterly. Mr. Hall clearly ami convincingly pictured "the Man" as a strong, impelling personality, one Avho could command, one who would lead, one who would, if occasion arose, condemn. He deprecated the effeminate picture so often advanced of the Christ, and impressed his hearers with the fact that the Man of Nazareth was an "athclete, fit to enter the arena at any time iu his life." The."Message of Christ" was, according to the speaker, to "the poor," "the weak," "the suffering;" "the one who is down and out." and this view was pressed hpnie with unanswerable logic. Mr. .Hall.concluded one of the finest serirtons ever preached in Vancouver with these words: "That is the Man and that is the message I wish to preach to you during my pastorate among you." Rev. Mr. Hall is a scholar and ^student, and will be an acquisition to Vancouver. We reproduce with pleasiire, ou another page, the opinion of the "Fernie Ledger" of Fernie. B. C, where Mr. Hall has spent four years of his ministry, moving from there to Mount Pleasant. TO PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS We have endeavored, as far as space would permit, to impress upon th* minds of pur readers the importance of properly appreciating the fearful nature of this dread disease, and the awful havoe it works annually among our people.- We now wish to direct your attention to a few very simple domestic regulations which will enable one to avoid contracting the malady. Prevention is better than cure. There is absolutely -no:.-'doubt'.about that, and it should be written in letters of firetpu every mind. The simple observance of a few common-sense rules will greatly reduce the number of victims and largely minimize the danger. -- ��������� Firstly, Ave would say, keep your windoAvs wide open in your sleeping apartment. You cannot have too much i'resh air in the room you sleep in. Some will argue that this A\ri 11 give you a cold, it is all nonsense7 Colds awM;ontrac<e4*usnallyr by those whose throat and lungs are weakened by breathing a foul atmosphere and then going out and inhaling clear fresh air. Another important rule is to take regular breathing exercise. Fill your lungs AvTith pure air, breathing as deeply as you can, and expanding the chest. One half of the people use only about a third of their lung poAver, and it follows naturally that the balance will become Aveakeued and diseased for want of proper exercise. Again, keep the body cleanly. It should never be necessary to have to suggest this to a ciA-ilized race, but nevertheless it is amazing how many persons are negligent in this regard. Dirt is the twin sister of disease. So keep both the body and your surroundings as free from dirt as possible. Take as much out-door exercise as you possibly can. Live out of doors. Fresh air and sunshine are free. No man can tax these. If any one in your home is afflicted with tliis dread, disease, take due precaution to have all expectorations burned and house well and frequently aired. Consumption is contagious and every effort should be made to pre\rcnt its spreading. We should rememher that Ave are not ouly endangering our oavu lives but the lives and happiness of others, by any careless indifference. By the co-operation of all, it is hoped that this aAvful plague can be greatly reduced and its ravages stayed. This is Avhat is aimed at by those Avho are unselfishly spending time and money to educate the public mind as to the danger and providing meaus Avhereby the unfortunate victims may be treated. BISHOP DE PENCIER From all quarters are heard the heartiest commendations regarding the election of Rev. Adam 17 DePencier as Bishop of New Westminster. It seems to have been a decidedly popular appointment. Bishop DePencier is a comparatively young man. being only 14 years old. but during his career has won tlie esteem and love of all with Avhom he has been brought into contact by his dignified and manly bearing and untiring efforts for the uplifting of his fellow-men. That he may long be spared to discharge the onerous duties of his exalted office, is our hope. i\nd we are sure that all who know him will wish to extend heartiest congratulations to the new Bishop. EDITOR CLEMENT'S ERROR W. J. Ciiment. a one-time resident of Mount Pleasant, novr editor of the Peuticton'Press, has recently gotten into hot water for an attack which he made through the columns of his paper on a certain type of Englishmen at Pentieton. Mr. Clement Avas never noted for his tact, and we believe that his greatest error in the present case is that he chose the occasion of the late King's funeral for his attack. It is certainly bad taste to start a "domestic row" when there is bereavement in the family. That is about what Mr. Clement seems to have done, and the consequence Avas something approaching a riot. To those Avho 1<uoav him Avell. there aviII be no question of his loyalty, but a sincere regret that he-should have chosen such a touchy subject at such an inopportune time. OF INTEREST TO ALL RECIPROCITY. Reciprocity with the United States is almost as prominent a topic of conversation in political and commercial circles as it was in 1894.-6\ There is one marked difference,"however; then it was Can- adn Avho was the suppliaut, Avhereas now it is Uncle Sam; Avho seems to be anxious. There is an air of selfishness in the attitude of the United States in relation to this question which would warrant a feeling of resentment on our part, were it not for the fact that avc are now in a position where Ave are not in any sense dependent upon Uncle Sam to enable us to develop our vast resources, and can afford to be magnanimous. The extreme anxiety on the part of the Americans to consummate a reciprocal treaty with Canada is largely accentuated by a desire to supplement their already sorely depleted natural resources by having free access to our almost unlimited wealth of mine and forest. They Mould like to draAv freely on our pulp lands to supply their capacious paper mills, or dip deeply into our coal mines for their* fuel supply, or slash down our forests to feed their sawmills, and divert our wheat to be milled on the south side of the 49th parallel. We are firmly convinced that a reciprocal treaty with the United States regarding those articles or products which are peculiar to each country Avonld be a sane and mutually profitable business arrangement, but it would be little short of madness for Canada to throw down the bars and allow a promiscuous exportation of her raw materials and importation of finished products. We have within our borders those gifts.of nature which, if properly developed, Avill make Canada, at no very distant date, a manufacturing nation and a serious factor in the markets of the world. Why not? We have mountains of iron contiguous to vast deposits of coal. Why should not Canada develop great steel mills and other associated industries ? We have two-thirds of the A'isible supply of nickel of the Avorld. What vast possibilities are contained in that resource? We have the last great timber and pulp areas of the world, and this class of raw material is noAV a Arexed problem to old manufacturing eenters. Our copper mines have only commenced to demonstrate their possibilities, and copper is a commodity which is daily becoming of more importance because of the great expansion of electrical poAver. Then there is our vast wheat fields to feed the millions yet to be. We cannot ..always afford to ship our raw materials off to other lauds to be worked up into the finished products, nor will the laAvs of commerce lotfg: permit this waste; It is au industrial axiom that a manufacturing establishment must be convenient to tAvo great sources of supply, A'iz.. raw material and food stuffs; these we have in prodigious quantities, and it is only a matter of time until we shall witness a great migration, not of individuals, but of industries and-"whole, centers of population; poAver and influence. It is not too extravagant to suggest that the time is coming when Canada will be the "hub" of the Empire. THE EASTERN ATTITUDE. The Monetary Times of last week contains a resolution passed by the Montreal Board of Trade for the benefit of Sir Wilfrid. The resolution reads in part as folloAvs: "That, while being in favor of Canada maintaining the most friendly relations with the I'nited States, the council considers that the A'e'ry causes that commend a reciprocity treaty to its people, that is. access to our undeveloped natural resources and an extended market for-their manufactured products, are. from our point of vicAv, those for Avhich Canadians stand to lose most, and that this country cannot afford to endanger its groAving manufacturing industries or to have its natural resources exploited for the benefit of the United States. "Tbat, above, and fr^ United States must inevitably tend toAvards a slackening of the tie that binds us to the Mother Country, and that this Council takes the strongest stand against anything that Avould even remotely Avork to that end, being convinced that our every interest, either of business or sentiment, requires that Canada shall remain a part of the Britis' Empire." GOVERNMENT CONTROL. The folloAving extract from the speech of President Underwood, of the Erie Railroad, is only another evidc unsatisfactory state of our present commercial, industri' ermnental system. President Underwood Avas the prinr at the annual dinner of the Binghampton, N7 Y., Cha merce. and spoke on the government regulation of ' Mr. Underwood'spoke from the standpoint of a r; points out some very apparent weaknesses in ex' The speech, in part, is as follows: "There should be government supervision or be impossible for anyone to exploit railway s' in the early days of their construction,- and - .

(Continued from last week) While as a rule the most nrolitable lneuiud ot growing strawberries is to oniy one crop irum a piaiuauou, and ai tne most two crops, a. is sometimes not practicable to renew sma.il piau VARIETIES. Owing to the ease with which a new variety of strawbe>--.'ies is originated, and the short rime it takes to trail the same, the number of new unions after the second crop. Under! sorts each year is very Jarge. Only such circumstances, there are several; a small proportion of those which are ways in which the bed may be im - j produced are better than, or even proved. Usually an old bed is grown; eiuutl to. the best, which are already up with grass and weeds and crowded : on the market, but often the originator with strawberry plains, and to iiu -j is not the most competent, person to prove the ijed these must be reduced! ..ntlge of the relative value of his seed- as much as possible. As .soon as tho | ling, and as a result many new sorts fruit is off, the leaves and grass j are offered for sale every year. It is should be mown off and burned. One' the work of the experimental farm pla.n is to plough or dig down the mid-1 to lest, these new varieties :is they ap- dle of the row, then thoroughly culti-1 pear, and, having compared tl.eni vale or rake. Another method is to with standard sorts, publish. when narrow the row on each side to a width of eight to twelve inches turning the .sod towards the row. Still a third plan is to plough lengthwise deemed advisable, a reliable description of them and the yield obtained. During the past twenty one years iii'iii named varieties have been tested through the centre of the row. then; at the General Experimental Farm. cross plough. It is necessary in following any of these methods to level the soil afterwards with the harrow, cultivator or hoe. Usually the work is finished with the hoe by cutting out all surplus plants and bringing the soil about, those remaining which will give them better conditions for male - ing roots. It should be remembered, Of this number only 1 i are still under test, of those grown during the first two years. This does not mean that nearly all the varieties tested at first have deteriorated, but that better kinds have been introduced and have taken their places. It is interesting however, to note that, of eleven varieties which were considered very when renovating the bed that it is not promising twenty years ago, three are necessary to leave many plants. Plants left sixteen to twenty inches apart should make a good row by autumn. Those left should be the youngest and strongest. It is a good plan when renewing, to work in some short rotted manure to improve the soil. IRRIGATION. During the fruiting season the strawberry needs a large supply of nioisture to give maximum crops. In some seasons, owing to dry weather, the crop is reduced very much, the season is shortened and the profits are small. If, under th.'se conditions there were available a supplementary supply of water which could be used w,1������ are originating new kinds, the for irrigating, a marked improvement following description of an imaginary in the crop would be ensured in many, variety approaching perfection is herj- cases.

The Daniel Boone is another variety of the Warfield type which continues to do well, though under test for twenty one years. Wil- lams has been tested for eighteen years and it is still one of the best commercial berries for long distance shipment. It should be stated here, that all the tests with varieties have been made on sandy loam soil. On clay loam the results might have been different, but this soil was not available. The ideal variety of strawberries has yet to be found, but. as an aid to those live: vigorous, making a moderate number of runners, should succeed well on a great, variety of soils; must, witstand drought well. Foliage large, abundant, rust - resistant. Flowers borne on stiff stalks of sufficient ground; pollen abundant.

Juvenile Protection Society at Elec tion Chooses Officers for Ensuing Year. PURE MILK. Germs in milk may be killed by home pasteurizing. This can be accomplished by heating the milk slowly to about MiO degrees Kalir. and holding it al that, beat for some minutes until the bacteria are killed; then the temperature is reduced as low us. possible to prevent the growth of any new becte- ria. that may enter the milk from the air. One should remember." however, that beating milk beyond M>P degrees gives it a burnt taste and an oror due to the solidifying or cooking of the albumen nnd the burning or carmeliz- ing of the milk sugar. Thi.s albumen may be seen in the light scum that forms on milk that has been subjected to heat. If the scum be brownish, it. is ilue to Uie cnrmalized milk sugar. 1 At last, night's meting the following officers ami members were elected for the ensuing year by tlie Juvenile protection Society: Honorary president. Rev. Dr. Robson; president. Mr. 12. W. Leeson; first vice-president, Mrs.W. If. J.ucas: tliii-iI vice-president; Iter. F. J. Clinton: treasurer. Mr. J. -I. Roberts; secretary. Mr. H. G.

Foran; delegate to the juvenile court, committee, Mr. R. Mc- Mahon. Mr. W. H. Collier, formerly of the Salvation Army, lias been appointed probation officer or the society, and Mrs. Collier matron. A letter of resignation f rom the former president, Mr. f-\ C. Wade, was read and accepted, the reason given being I hat he would probably be away from tlie city fur a year or more. Resolutions of thanks were passed to the officers who had served the society dining the past year. Mr. Leeson. the new president, and Mr. Collier, the recently appointed probation officer, made brief spewlj.es of acceptance. The reports of Ihe treasurer showed the soeieiv in a sound position financially. No oi Inn- business ..was transacted. fleer made to the Daily'Mirror. "There has been a feeling in the service for a long time past that the growing habit of cigarette smoking should be stopped. 'Among officers tlie regulations regarding smoking have become far too lax lately, am! I have known cases where members of a court-martial board have lighted cigarettes the moment tbe prisoner has been removed from the room. "What will be the result? Well, the Tommy will lake to a pipe. Cigarettes have been popular particularly because they are handy. To smoke a pipe necessitate carrying pipe and tobacco, both of them bulky objects. The packet of cigarettes is easily carried, and makes no-unsightly bulge in the~uiii-~" firm." From the old soldier's point of view, the new order is viewed with a considerable amount of satisfaction. Two eommissionaries, both of whom were non-commissioned officers before they left the army, both agreed that, it was an excellent'move. "Smoking cigarettes is a curse now- a-days," said one. "and as far as 1 can set; it's doing the youngsters a lot of harm. Some of them are never without a cigarette in their mouths." Tbe result of the order will be that all ranks may only smoke cigarettes when ou leave or when not occupied in any duty whatever. THE LAST ROLL.

C, May 15th 1910. Gal. 6: 2. Bear Ye one another's burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ. The law of Christ is the life of love, and our text teaches that we best manifest that life by bearing one another's burdens. There seems to be a great deal of confusion in the world just no^v as to what Christianity stands for, and while this confusion lasts the best and greatest results cannot be a- chieved. Among thinking and suffering people everywhere there is hunger for a new definition and for a more practical human expression of our devine religion. We are carrying a great deal too much luggage with us���������luggage of form devoid of spirit���������luggage of doctrine without soul saving power. It is on this account that I am seeking to make all my ministry a sincere attempt to get at and set before the people a just and clear opinion of essential Christianity; of Christianity as Christ left it, when he died, and so far as I can make out as he meant it to be understood to the very end of time. I do this because I firmly be -1 lieve that no man who respects him - self and desires the welfare of his neighbor can see the Christianity of Christ without believing it. He can -' not improve upon the text "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the ��������� law of Christ." or suggest anything j better than the golden rule "As ye j would that men should do to you do.' ye even so to them." c About these. I believe, there h^s heen no skepticism. I To deny these is to eject all nobility from the heart, and make oneself but the husk of a man. \ Let us look at the burdens which the christian has to beir. By a law of spiritual unity which makes the be -' liever one with his Lord��������� the burdens the christian has to bear are exactly **e same ps Christ hore when *e was with us. The church is the body of Christ, and therefore it must o.ir-v the hurdens that rested so heavily upon his heart. ] There is the burden of sin. The-^ are a gre^.t many efforts being made in the������e d^vs to minimize sin: to take | out of it the stine of milt: to make i it impersonal���������to lay the blame en heredity or environment���������to use larisrfi (- words about it which have no moral | point and by verbal iu^srlery to ; relieve tbe consciences of men f^om '< tbe deep sense of personal responsi - ] . bi'.ity. j I There is no va \y.wa���������n^ ii. t?.iH?���������>���������������! i to do tp?>t: von />������������}v,..t vi"<5(>r| ;><r.ii������sr ��������� pvne"i'>11r>e a^d H-������n .j..i\a..i'c*n'*ci r>*- pv^t^ , \ tv>(������ Htt'o cbi'dT,f*i '"��������� *" n-eFsn^e i<; tb^t sin is accompanied by the sting of ��������� . guilt. > I Ohript r^an-p*- tiii������*"������'* <5n<"b a d^llsi'1", I flfj c-tOP'l ii the T������������n-PT������������ r<f *^������ y'-l"t| Trnilf itn^oc: be*'r*vo v:,*-> *-,������i<l i^./-������i-f,-jjt >m- j r>n tbem he jridi-vi.d";'''/'^ their sin*; I .T������)d sorrows with sur'h kepn^ess acid fnrce thnt. thev nwe ���������-'������ a thi<*k clo"d I t, ,,*.,..��������� -.- -,i ^niiofi !rj upon Ms' I ^v1. f,f- ^nn ^'Tncr ipon fhp oT'or>s. solid- i i relist. fee1 the p"fr������e w>v he did about sin and the sinner.

But all through the mountains thunder riven \nd up from the rocky steap. There arose a cry to the gate of heaven Rejoice. I have found my sheep. And the angels echoed around the throne Rejoice, for the Lord brings back bis own. This essential Christianity, and Ave feel something of this in ourselves if we are truly christians. Do not think that I stand in oppo - sition . to freedom of thought but let us not be foolish because we are free. Liberty is a great, word. Liberty Is a dangerous thing if it be not put to high uses. Do not waste it upon trifles. Why should you produce the confusion worse confounded in the church by proclaiming from the house tops that Moses did not. write the Pentateuch, when do you not know? What difference does it nm:.e whether Geneses is a compilation from P. J. E. or not? What diference does it make in our convictions concerning Christ whether the prophets spoke first and the law givers crystallized their moral vision into minute regulations; or whether the law-givers wrote first, and the prophets vitalized and enforced the laws with their mighty spiritual fervor and patriotic appeal. Reconstruct every epoch of Biblical history, if ydu can, but say nothing a - bout them until you have caught the breath of their spiritual life and can breathe it into our times stnd use the leaves of your tree of knowledge for the healing of the nation. I am prepared to let the pendulum! of thought swing far into the un -1 known, and 1 shall cling to it as it swings above me, but. I would rather die this moment that let it swing my feet off the Rock of Ages. I believe the pendulum of thought is swinging back to the orthdox position. Alen are deeply feeling that if you ration- alize'the Bible and deny it to be su - pernatural, you must rationalize christian life and deny the power of ;e- generation. and when that is done, the bottom is fallen out of everything. A converted w.-man ot tne street one day ran into the house and up the stairs into the study of a noted Di - vine, who previously had been a man of evangelistic fervor and success, but who through accepting* the negations of a certian type of higher criticism had lost his evangelistic useful - { ness. she called to him saying, "Coma) and help bring mother in." Hej spra ng up f rom his chai rand ran do w if' the stairs expecting to find and old woman fallen upon the sidewalk but the girl ran ahead of him and on and on until she led him up some flights of stairs into a garret, where her poor mother lay breathing herlast; then turning to him, she said���������"You helped me in now help mother in." He fumbled about for the old truths he used to use with saving power, but they seemed all to have forsaken him, and j in the darkness of that moment he ; felt himself bereft indeed. I can conceive of no gre-.it.er tragedy in the life of a minister of the Gospel than to st-ind by a prostrate soul seeking for n.-ercy and not be able to take her by hand and lift her up. Von������TT men can yon do that, now; Ah! Never sell that power at any pri"e When I was a young man during the second year of my probation twi rtudents from Victoria College and I disputed about .Wesley on christian perfection. I held that his argument was wooden and unconvincing. They stood by John Wesley's inter ��������� pretnMon of ch.ri~.tinn li''e. That night I t^ok ub Tom Paine's "Age of Re-;- Krm" and read "it until two o'clock ..in the morning, then I put my light out and went to sleep. T dreamed that I was driving a heavy team of horses heavily laden up a steep hill on 'he left side of which there was a preci - pice. Built up on piles from the deep below was a house containing a bar - -;ess shop. As I drove the team ui she hill they went off to the left carrying me over the precipice. I pulled upon my right line. It went into a dozen pieces and as I looked at it I beheld it. was but rotten elastic. I stopped the team with my voice. Just then John Wesley walked down the hill and turned into the harness shop. I called to tbe harness maker to sell me a right line." John WTesley kept me waiting for some time, then he came out and put the right line upon my harness and I got up the hill all right.

Rev. W. Lashley Hall preached his farewell sermon Sunday. .May 30th. at the .Methodist church, having recently been assigned to a new charge, .Mount Pleasant church at Vancouver., ii. C. We think that having been closely connected with the doings of the -community in his capacity as a. citizen a few words touching"upon this side of the ���������man will be perfectly in order.; his parishioners of course are better .able to ;form a judgment as to his capabilities .as a minister. His new home wDJ he <Quite .a change as far as the industrial occupation of his congregation is concerned, becouse he has not only been in .a nunitig atmosphere here, but prior to locating in Fernie was stationed at Cumberland on Victoria Island, which as most of our readers know., has for its principal occupation the extraction of black diamonds. The fateful 1st of August. 1 DOS. found him back in town, having returned the previous night front the (irst holiday he had indulged in during a decade, shortened on account of the death of one of his members in the bump at Coal Creek, calling him back to pay the last tribute to the departed brother. Not only did he render valuable assistance to the relief committee, for which his experience and training peculiarly fitted him. but as a result of labors, no matter how arduous, wore willingly given, the financial status of church affairs is certainly largely tlie result of untiring effort on the part of Its pastor, in so far as the judicious hana- li::g of the funds is concerned, and these were most generous, between 11 and 12 thousand frous outside contributors and some two thousand locally. Although as a studeut his time for years past has been'necessarily v.el! occupied and his acquisition in record time of his degrees, absorbed so much attention, nevertheless his literary product "The Continuity of Revelation" also demonstrates that by systemiza- ticn he has accomplished that which otherwise would have been out of the question. This work deals in the first part with the Jahveh religion, while the second is a very interesting study of individual interpretation based ou prophetic sociology, and though one may disagree with the deductions arrived at, candor compels the admission that great thought and care have been given to the subject.

SOUTH AFRICA'S RACE PROBLEM The seriousness of the problem which the new South African Union faces .in regard to the native races��������� and it is the only problem which gives any ground for anxious thought���������becomes evident when it is pointed oi;t that of the total population of Mie confederation, only one-fifth is white, Ihe other four-fifths being black. The to tal population is ������471.-WO. out of which the white men number ],l,S5,r/.0. h Cape Colony the black men oiunuinliOi- the white three to one, in Natal eleven to one, and in the Orange River Colony two to one. and in the Transvaal three to one. They are bared f rom the franchise. except m Cape Colony, where some' of them have votes; that limited, tran- '���������hise extended to black men may Le abolished by a two-thirds majority of both houses sitting together. That it may be abolished is quite possible, as! the idea of their haying votes is very unpopular north of the Orange river. The'reconciliation between the British and ,Boer portions of the while population of the South African Union is even more remarkable than the reconciliation which has come about between the North and the South in COPVRICMTA.PRE.ro fc Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Chri?t- j inn Endeavor society he'd ore of the ; largos' attended meetings in its history I on.

"One dollar and costs or thirty days," reeled off, must have long ago become a disgusting farce. What man in normal conditions will go on committing the same offence over and over again? Present methods of dealing with the habitual drunkard arc foolish and irrational, not only for the drunkard, but. for -his family and society as well. In this day of grace some better way can be adopted. There is a large class of men and women who. because the appetite, for strong drink has mastered them, are a disa.ppoint.meni to themselves, a grief to their fiends, and a disgrace and burden to society. "We have been asking for a considerable time that such persons be taken care of in public institutions at the public expense, where they shall be given the best possible treatment, with a view to their final restoration , to sobriety and usefulness: that while they are thus confined they should lbe kept healthfully employed, and j whatever thej may earn, at least beyond the cost of caring for them, 'should be used to support, those dependent upon them. The very knowledge that his labor was being turned to such account would be inspiration and encouragement to many a man 'and lighten the burden of his confine] ment.

WWPTION IN IU SENATES Springfield, Illinois.���������Within a few hours after United States Senator William Lorimers speech at Washington. State Senator John Broderick. a lead- a bribery charge by the grand jury ing Chicago Democrat, vvas indicted on here today. Senator liroderick's indictment was the direct result of a, commission made to the grand jury by State Senator D. W. Holstlaw, of Iuka, Ills., who says .Senator Broderick paid him $2500 to vote for Mr. Lorimer for senator.' A capais was ordered at once for Senator Broderick. and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. The unexpected turn in the Lorimer scandal was an offshoot of State Attorney Burke's investigation of alleged graft in a legislative furniture deal. Senator Holstlaw had been indict ed on a perjury charge in connection with the furniture contract, anil upon the ail vice of his lawyers, when offered immunity, agreed to make a confession. Then he told the grand jury that he bad received $2fi()0 for his vote for Senator Lorimer, $700 as his share of a legislative jack-pot, and promise of $ir>0u as bis share of the state house furniture deal. Senator Hulstlaw's confession regarding the furniture deal was corroborated befoie the grand jury by Otto Prefer, who, ;is agent f������-r the Kurd. Johnson Furniture Company, of Chicago, obtained the furniture contract. The two confessions regarding the furniture contract resulted in two additional Indictments on a conspiracy charge. These wore: State Senator S. C. Penv berton. Republican, of Oakland, and Representative Joseph S. Clark.

"When I ope my mouth let no dog bark." But the oracle has fallen on evil hues these days. The man on the it.reet smiles at this beating of the ���������I rum ecclesiastic, while even the school boy has his "criticism," and in occasion, will give it freely. In his recent discussion of "Campbell's New Theology." Mr. Odium must iave spent a pleased hour recalling lis early student days as he brushed lp his schoolboy logic and tried it on Campbell. As we attempted to follow he Professor as he dissected the New Theology, we could see once more that well-thumbed page of Whotiley's Logic .vith the mystic signs of "In Bakbara." 3t.c, wherebv the student was taught how to marshall words and line them up for battle. In: identally. of course. tie might learn how to throw the uiemy into confusion by an argument aore aparen.t than real; and it ������'��������� ears that, the Professor did not. over- ook that subsection in his studies. In lis review of Campbell we catch a Mmpse of that, time-honored syllogism vhereby it was proved that a cat had hree tails, viz.: "No cat has two tails. i A cat has one tail more than no ?at: therefore a cat has three tail's." No wonder, then, that Campbell is found to teach Polytheism and every- hing else that's bad. when he is run hrough a mill like that. The impression given by the whole article is that our esteemed eritic considers the writer of New Theology to e a knave or fool or a little of both, viul that those who accept him are ike unto him. Suppose, then, that we take this suppressed premis of the Professor's and giving it the major place of honor, build another syllogism as follows: "Those who accept the New The- ilogy are fools. "Professor Odium does not accept he New Theology: therefore. Prof. Odium is not a fool." This seems to run as smoothly as lOine bits of machinery in the Pro- essor's criticism of Campbell, and yet ���������eaders will feel that there is a screw oose somewhere. No doubt they vould agree with the middle term, but even that may be open to question. I realize that to attack the statement that our critic "does not. accept j he New Theology" is defying the! ightning. and may be considered a f .vicked effort to pull down the last irop under the ethereal dome. Yet. n the pursuit of truth I must take marices and submit the following, whicii might be marked Exhibit A. Ine Sunday morning a few months igo. 1 was on the Westminster car ind found myself with a group of ���������entlemen representing the Laymen's Missionary Movement who were going to occupy the pulpits of the Royal City that morning in the interests of 'hat great enterprise. This should give us pause: Here were these exponents of this latest and argest bloom, this highest, expression )f Church thought and activity, riding >u the street cars on Sunday. Now. in his article on National De- ���������eneracy appearing some time ago in he Call. .Mr. Odium gives as a sign hat we arc going to destruction, the '���������jilure to observe the Sabbath, but ir lis usual breezy generalization. Ir loes not give us the standard of Sal. bath observance, whether it shou'd ':e that of his fathers or that which he ha.s now adopted. That there is a ?reat divergence between the two is indoubted. We of the Professor's age need only to recall the teachings of early days to see how great the divergence is. Hut much later in the vears we can recall the furious strug- vIe in Toronto, for example, against Sunday cars by the united churches, who characterized the innovation as he deadliest blow that could be struck '.gainst the sanctity of the Lord's Oay. Even to-day and even in Vancouver there a rpeec-'e who cannot make off the belief of the fathers as i ���������asily as can Prof. Odium and his con-1 reres. and who still feel that to ride j in the street cars on Sunday is to ;o with the multitude to do evil. Twenty years ago their name was agion; to-day they are few. But this case is not fully presented. on their way to preach on Sunday morning were not only on the street cars but they were all, I think, without exception, deep in the columns of the Sunday'morning paper, and from the fragments of conversation floating round, it was evidently not the religious column that was holding their attention, but rather indicated that the materialistic current with which the air of Vancouver is electric and raised to the sixth power by Saturday evening, had not been entirely shut off on Sunday morning. The Sunday paper has been denounced from individual pulpits and resolved against by Church courts as the most insidious foe of the Sabbath'. Only last year the .Ministerial Association of Victoria in session assembled, gravely decided in the interests ot consistency to order their ehiircli notices out of the columns of the Sunday morning' paper. It is understood, however, that these are all b.ack again in the interests of���������what? JkJm\Jmm\JmMmJmMmJmJkJmJmJm1kMmJkJm4m' FOR FINE Job vi^r vj*r Printing TRY THE ��������� These gentlemen purchased their papers at newstands or from newsboys ana so encouraged business transactions on the Sabbath. Surely old Neuemiah had he found them buying ami selling on the Sabbath would "have plucked the hair off some" and sent them packing from the gates of the city. I am offering no criticism of this change of front in Mr. Odium or anyone else, I only point to the fact that there is a change and would like the versatile Professor to discuss the cause. It is out of the question to suppose that one of his Plymouth Rock-like co:.- victioi.s and faith would be governed ...v uu.i "ii-ious maxim of "When in Rome do as the Romans." We cm only conclude that he has gone back to the fountain of authority; that he has examined the Scriptuie in the c.ane, as to the historicity, the evolution aiitl application of Sabbath keeping instructions and has restated the uoctrine to suit the emergency. This, however, is nothing les than Higher Criticism and New Theology in auiion, for the higher critic only demands the privilege of examining the bi*3is as weil as the content of dogma, a������d New Theology is but an attempt to toitat ethe substance of old beliefs wat have become impossible to the bioadening and deepening coiiscious- u<iss of men. It is clear that there is a revision of uoctrine and practice on the question vf Sabbath observance as in many j.ther doctrines that might be named, and that while Mr. Campueil has published his revision and stood up to the storm occasioned thereby, Prof. Odium and many others have gone on with a little revision of their own modesty refusing to publish it, and while making good by hurling anathemas at Campbeil and the New Theology, have quietly adjusted their Jives to its results and seem to enjoy the change.

DEATH ACCIDENTAL Was there an insulator on the guy wire which apparently John McCauley touched, between the pole and the ground, or did the power pass down and ground through that guy wire? If there was no insulation, is it the usual and precautionary practice to have one?

Electric Railway company secured the Citizens' band to play at Kitsilano beach Wednesday night," or to that effect. Incidentally, we are informed the Citizens' baud are the donors of this concert, fyling their request to play through the Park Com- misioners. We have nothing but praise for the work being done by the Park Commissioners, but we consider the band concert work being secured by them for the city should be explained somewhat. At the present time the public do not understand what they owe to this body. JUNIOR BASEBALL On Wednesday the junior teams of the V. A. C. and Mount Pleasant play- ad a game of baseball on the Cambie street grounds. These teams are both striving hard for the victory in this league, consequently a win for either meant quite a lift t oward this end. Up to the fourth it was a close game with honors pretty evenly divided, but in Mount Pleasant's half of this inning they had some five runs added to their side of the score and this lead the boys of the V. A. C. were unable to7 overcome. The score at the end of the game stood S-l iu favor of the boys from the Mount. The following is the line-up: Foley catcher .. Cavanagh McWhinney ... pitcher ... M.Jordan Aster first base Bucke Irwin second base ... L.
