VOLUME III H. H. Stevens, M.P., EMTOR-in-Chief VANCOUVER, British Columbia, DECEMBER 22. 1911. No. 33 ���������S ,-.. K a S 1; s av THE MAYORALTY CONTEST Taylor as a Public Benefactor���������Taylor as a Corporation Benefactor���������More to Follow. Mayor Taylor has been mayor of Vancouver for two years, and is now seeking a third term and claims much credit for advances which have been made along certain Hues. He has been specially strong in his claim re annexation of Hastings and D. L. 301, and the effort to annex South Vancouver. The whole, scheme for a Greater Vancouver was introduced by an alderman entirely independent of the Mayor and in the form of a resolution which was adopted by the Council, and which resulted in a joint committee being appointed which worked out the details with but vary little pergonal assistance from His Worship. But Mr. Taylor has always been an adept at popping into the limelight and claiming credit for the accomplishment* of others. Whatever credit may be ,due re the annexation of Hastings and D. L. 301 should be given to the joint committee, who spent scores of weary hours working out details. Mayor Taylor neither instigated nor carried out the scheint. THE TELEPHONE DEAL. His Worship also claims credit for securing for the- city the right to construct its own telephone system. y This carries with it a most interesting bit of history wMch has never been exposed and which, no doubt, His Worship thinks has long since been forgotten. Two years ago next January the City -Council appointed His Worship Mayor Taylor, City- Solicitor W. A.. MacDonald and Aid. Stevens to go to -Victoria to put through the various charter amendments, .among^vhHi was one givipg-the .city power to instai its own telephone' system. During the discussion before the Private Bills Committee Mayor Taylor scarcely opened his mouth, but left all the work to the other two members of-the delegation. Mr. Farral, with legal assistants, was there to oppose the clause re telephones, which he did most- successfully the first day, and the discussion was adjourned until the following day. That evening Mayor Taylor, Mr. Farral and Mr. MacDonald met in the Empress Hotel and discussed matters and later were joined by Aid. Stevens. Mr. Farral, as president of the B. C. Telephone, was arguing against the wisdom of the city's application, but after about two hours' useless discussion, he finally said, \"J will withdraw my opposition if you will agree to first buy out the B. C. Telephone plant before commencing to instai a civic system.\" The Mayor wished at once to accept this arrangement, but Aid. Stevens refused unlet* tbe ft. 0. Telephone MJrouUl INF** to S������U when so requested,-whieh - farral reftwed. Seeing the usclessness of such a one-sided agreement as that suggested by Farral, Aid. Stevens withdrew and retired. The next morning the Mayor informed him that Farral had withdrawn opposition (but would not state on what arrangement) and the bill passed. Some months afterward when there was a fight on in the Council over the B. C. Telephone service the Mayor stated the agreement which he had made with the B. C. Telephone, which was, that if the Telephone Company would withdraw, tbeir objection to the City's application for power to construct be (the mayor) would undertake tbat the city would not exerciie that power, and to support that move the Mayor appointed a committee to investigate matters which were known to be strongly opposed to having a competing company and whose report was completely abortive as far as results were concerned. In the-meantime and during the term of this private agreement of Mayor Taylor's with the. Telephone Company the said Company had so extended their plant and so completely covered the district that it became next to impossible to instai a second company or a civic system, v ..-;������������������ :���������; yy-: The net result of this action is, that Mayor Taylor has '' double crossed'' the elector- ate by boasting that he secured the power for them to own their ( own system, while at the same time entering into a secret arrangement with the local Telephone Corporation, not to exercise that, power. Next week we purpose publishing other equally glaring exhibition of maladministration on the part of His Worship Mayor Taylor, which amply justifies any self-respecting citizen in withdrawing their support from the present incumbent of the Mayor's chair.; ���������������*���������������������>���������������'$��������� 1 HI * I M \\ It \\ 'H 11*1 (tUp Jforo Sunt King Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new bom King, Peace on earth and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled.

THE CELESTIAL PRINCE, ANOELUS, TELLS OF THE HUMAN SAVIOUR���������\"HE CAME THE SON OF MAN.\" One of the angelic princes of ancientTwid modern times, havirVjij seen and accompanied the \"Angel of the Covenant,\".and who is still deeplyrJFtercsted in the out-working of the rinns of the GREAT JEHOVAH, hit* a>*������fe1*age for , the children fit men, at this period of Xmas Festivity. Hear His Recital ��������������� \"I was present when the Adamic Pair went out from the Garden weeping., They had fallen by the TREE of LIFE, and there lost hold on the hand of Divine Love. They went forth weeping���������but were favored with a glorious promise; and of a far-away vision of a MORNING-DAWN much more glorious , than the dawn of Creation. - ' I followed their children, and saw their sons Cain, Abel and Seth. Abel passed as a sacrifice to the spirit of obedience; Cain set out aloue bearing his awful curse; Seth became the child of promise, and the far-away human saviour. -From him, and from him alone, the life of mankind could have a new start, according to the infinite Love of the King Eternal. My duties and holy pleasures carried me side by side with the men of long lives, down to the days of the second salvation. Noah,���������because he was upright among the transgressors of the pre-deluge race, was honored in being placed in charge of a most precious cargo, that of human and animal life, destined to cross in the ark, or vessel of safety, from beyond, to tbif fid* of the flood. _ . Noah gave to this side of the ancient flood, the man Sbem, from whom a new race of rulers and saviours should come. From him have come the mighty princes and rulers, who have dominated the destinies of the human race. In him and his descendants, the God of heaven did~plan-to savethe human family from eternal destructions- These men, Seth, Noah, and Shem, were three links in the human chain reaching down from Adam to the Chaldean, the Man of LR, the \"COVENANT MAN,\" known by the name of Abraham. By his aide I traveled from the Great River of Chaldea, into the land of Canaan, encouraging and inspiring him to obedience, the only meant by wbicb universal salvation can reach \"All the Families of the Earth,\" according to DIVINE Promise. Abraham, in deep extremity, and in fierce trial of faith, stood the test, for the \"ANGEL of the COVENANT\" was with him. And lo! to hira was given Isaac, then to him Jacob, and thus, on to, and through a long line of princely men, until the human chain reached the \"Shepherd King of Israel,\" the \"Sweet Singer.\" In his presence, while on the plains watching his sheep, I often led him to behold and converse with the starry heavens; and being commissioned thereto, I. whispered to hia1 young heart, thoughts of his future kingship, and of a long line of Royal Princes reaching to the days of Herod, and Joseph, and Mary the virgin princess, the crowning honor of womankind. The heavens and earth rejoiced mightily, and the \"Morning Stars sang together\" when the \"SON of Man,\" the \"Son of Woman,\" the \"Man of Sorrows,\" the \"Prince of Peace,\" the \"ANGEL of the COVENANT,\" the Only Begotten Earthborn Son of God, \"the Rock that followed His People\" in the Wilderness, appeared as a CHILD among men. y This, the crowning triumph of the ages, of heaven and earth,���������this the \"Lamb Slain from the beginning\" of time, reached earth as THE REDEEMER of ISRAEL and the SAVIOUR of Mankind; and foiled the wicked machinations of the SERPENT of the GARDEN���������the place of the first promise and the first-curse. 7 . '[ He is the oncGREAT and invincible product of all the ages, coming along, and down that human chain of Saviour men. He came for the material, intellectual and spiritual uplift of ihe entire human race. He is invincible, and irresistible in His plans and work. He came to saye the lost, and He will never cease until He finishes His work. The time He appeared on earth was a time of rejoicing. His life, death and resurrection were all planned and understood by us before mankind saw Him on earth. He, even ;in our-celestial regions and realms, far-outstretching the visible suns aud other :��������� worlds,. is, aiud long has been, our universally loved, honored and obeyed PRINCE. We. love, and serve him without ceasing. In this way, we are His servants on earth, and rejoice to do His will. His love for humanity lias called us in. countless numbers, as His ever-ready ministrants to the earth-bonv seekers after an abiding and a sure haven, a home of rest and perpetual happiness. From creation's dawn until now; and on to the end of time, we are to be with Him and His work of final completeness. ,���������*���������- . ��������� ��������� 7 ���������ANGELUS. -:: B. C. ELECTRIC FRANCHISE IN POINT GREY When Point Grey Municipality granted to the B. C. Electric Railway Co. a franchise for 40 years,'we strongly opposed their action, and we arc more than pleased to note the success which has attended Mr. Wood- worth in his efforts to cancel that franchise. r Sir. Woodworth deserves Jhe most hearty commendation^at the hands of the citizens of Point Grey and the city. The B. C. Electric thought they had a \"cinch\" on this whole district and now we find that Burnaby and Point. Grey are free. It would be nothing short of a public crime to again enter into long term agreements with this Company. They have exhibited an utter disregard for public convenience and have only sought to obtain a monopoly. It is most fortunate that the City Council refused to he caught in their trap,last summer, viz., the extension of the city franchise ��������� to twenty-five years, as suggested by Mayor Taylor and Mr. Sperling. Now that the atmosphere is somewhat cleared let the. municipalities join hands, as suggested by Mr. Britton, candidate for the council of Burnaby, and treat with the B. C. Electric from the standpoint of the general interests of all municipalities and appoint a joint committee to deal with the questions, and lastly, LET THE B. C. ELEO^ TBIC COME OFF ITS HIGH HORSE AND DEAL COURTEOUSLY AND FAIRLY WITH THE PUBLIC, THAT BEING AN ATTITUDE HITHERTO FOREIGN TO THEM. .������_. * 6. T. P. AND GORE AVENUE WHARF About two months ago the Board of Works, with a little undue haste, sanctioned the transfer of the-lease of Gore Avenue - waterfront from the, Sechelt S-S. Co. to the G. T. P. Co. After this had been done it transpired that the G. T. P. intended constructing their dock up to a point within - 20\" feet' of the line between their ^property and that of th������ city rs,'with, ihe intention of \" berthing their vessels- on - the, bity-'a water - lot. '. \" ' ' Gore aventu* has* for years been used by small craft to tie up to and is the only place' of its kind from Coal Harbor to Salsbury drive. There is nothing which is more badly needed than a wharf of this kind, but by this action the city have placed this in the hands of a large corporation and small craft will have to go begging. It is true that the lease will expire within two years, but the effect of this action is to place the G. T. P. in a position to force the eity to keep the street end open for their special benefit, greatly to the inconvenience of the smal craft. The city took this course thoughtlessly and without due consideration, but when it was discovered that an error had been made some of tbe aldermen refused to reverse . their action on the plea that it would be inconsistent.��������� ��������� - It was wrong, in their opinion, to repudiate a careless step, but it was perfectly virtuous for the G. T. P. to hoodwink tbe council and do a great injustice to other smaller shipping interests. The whole thing is the more interesting when we remember that the G. T. P. were to pay the city one dollar and were sub-leasing it for thousands. * REEVE SOUTH VANCOUVER. We are informed that Reeve Pound is not offering himself for re-election in South Vancouver, and are pleased to note the candidacy of Mr. Chas. Hodgson, who has been so prominent in civic affairs in that rapidly growing municipality. We have not always seen \"eye to eye\" with Mr. Hodgson in South Vancouver matters, but can willingly testify to the soundness of his motives and to his untiring efforts in the interests of the municipality. Mr. Hodgson will be the next R������evc of South Vancouver arid will make an excellent chief executive officer and merits tho support of every citizen who is interested in a sound and progressive policy. PARK COMMISSIONERS. Wc are pleased to note that Mr. W. R. Owen is offering himself for re-election as Park Commissioner. He has served the city in a. most proficient manner for the past two - years and it is largely due to his untiring efforts that the. Park Board has taken up the developing of \"outside\" parks. For many years Stanley Park occupied the whole attention of the Board, but during the last two year's much effort has been spent on parks throughout the various ; wards .of the city. Mr. Owen has proven ..himself,to be a most energetic and efficient member of the Board -and. we'strongly'-urge his re-election, at the forthcoming elections. > i- 1. fr ,r rUj __^ (/ __ ,^a >:7,y\\ _ -, ;��������� %~- \"��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� ���������'���������������' >. , --,1 ;. a-l f> ������^-,~- f, 'A.\" J-' I ' ���������** I - 3.1 55 i -.11 ���������i I ' \\w ���������'J-:^ ^7mm -A&fefl 7*-\"* t\"~''ll S 3 THE WESTERN CALL. . 4 4 4************************* 9***9*******4**'l^***4***** Heating Stoves & Ranges ( That cold snap will soon be here.

Readers will be interested to hear that the recent tour of Dr. Ernest Hall and Rev. Dr. Spencer through the Kootenays and on the main line has been eminently successful. The cities visited were Nelson, Cranbrook, Ross- land, Revelstoke, Kamloops and Mission City. At several of these places crowds of men at the theatre meetings were large. Many hundreds heard Dr. Hall's discourses on disease and other medical matters', illustrated by forcible pictures, so much so that a different condition of things is expected respecting the social evil and drinking habits. Nelson was stirred tremendously by the ten meetings held. Ministers and many business men working unitedly in the movement, but as always: the newspaper of Nelson Jiad nothing to say. Drinkdom and brothel- dom were exposed and the electors exhorted to cast their votes only for those who do not stand in support of these two evils. A large mra's meeting at Cranbrook gave evidence of a deep interest, while at Ka nloopB, after church hours in the theatre, over 300 men voiced their feeling by the passing of a resolution tailing upon the police commissioners o clean out the red-light district. They also appointed a committee to attend to this business. Dr. Spencer spoke on temperance and general reform woi^. while Dr. Hall gave strong addresses to women and to men on the' important question that makes for health and wealth of mind and body. Thus, a medical expert and a reformer worked together' to great advantage. Not only is there evidence in all our cities of the need of such efforts, but also evidence - that the sentiment of no liquor bar, no brothel, and no gambling den, is growing, and the,educational movement that warns the public against supporting men who; stand by these evils, or in any way promoting them, is having a beneficial effect. Henceforth, a man is going to be known by his attitude towards these three evils, and even silence Regarding them will be taken as an indirect favoring thereof. Dr. Ernest Hall gave his time and ability to the services of the local option and moral reform movement at sacrifice to himself, and, as always, to the benefit of lthe country.

Full of winter flavor and reminiscent of the time of year is the December (Christmas) number of Rod and Gun in Canada, published by W. J. Taylor, Limited, Woodstock, Ont. \"Feeding Prairie Chickens in Winter\" is a story which every lover of the Wild and the things of the Wild will peruse with the keenest pleasure. It shows in every.line how much real gratification' can be obtained from a little attention to the wants of the birds during the winter weather and how observations, laying up a store of pleasant- memories, can -beobtainedr the minimum of trouble giving the maximum reward. \"Lost in a Manitoba Blizzard,\" \"Aqj.tnal Sanctuaries in Labrador\" and the \"Literature of Angling\" show the wide interest created by this number and illustrate the manner in which sportsmen of the most varied tastes are catered to. These papers can_all be read by the general reader with both pleasure, and profit and the work done in this way for Canada is not to be measured by the fact that primarily the magazine appeals to/sportsmen. Theer are plenty of sporting articles from seal hunting to bear hunting, including that most strenuous sport of - all ��������� mountain climbing. A fine Christmas present is a subscription to Canada's leading sportsman's magazine.

The tercentenary, anniversary of the translation of the Bible into the English language is bringing the story of the Bible and its history into universal thought. There is no book which has had such an influence upon the world, and no book of which so many copies are' being sold. A hundred years ago Thomas Paine, the author of \"The Age of Reason,\" said that in fifty years from that time, if any person wanted to see a Bible it would be necessary for him to go to a museum to find one. But the sale of the Bible has increased with each passing year until in 1910 the American Bible Society alone sold 2,826,831 copies of the Scriptures, and if you want to see a copy of Paine's book, you would have to search in a museum. The sixty-six books of which it is composed, written by from forty to fifty persons during a period of 1,600 years, remains the most wonderful compilation ever made. As Coleridge truly said, \"I know the Bible is inspired, because it inspires me.\" Preservation. The preservation of the book through the centuries is one of the proofs of its divinity. It was written, of course, on papyrus or skin, and the original manuscripts are all lost, or destroyed. Then the book has been hated, fought, burned, buried, railed against, hidden and cursed; everything that man or devil could do to destroy it and its influence has been done; but still it lives, and lives again. The oldest manuscript of the book is probably the Vatican in the library at Rome, dating from about the year 325 or 350. The most interesting is the Sinaitic, in St Petersburg, Russia, saved, as it was, by Tischendorf in 1844, as .the monks were about to use it for kindling the convent flreis. The Alexandrian manuscript in the British' museum, London, is the other most valuable, a volume the'writer had the pleasure of seeing about a year- ago. There are nearly 2,000 other manuscripts of a part or the whole of the Bible that are in existence, and these all bear witness of the tremendous hold and interest the book has had for the human race. y;> v Translations. The most of the Old Testament was written in the Hebrew language, and everyone knows that the language is usually written without voweL signs. The J?ew Testament was written mostly in the Greek language. It is a very-striking fact that shortly after the Bible was completed these ^two languages ceased to be living; spoken languages. 7Perhaps this has no providential significance; but possibly it has. A living language is always a growing language, and a growing language is always a changing language. The fact ^that Hebrew and Greek practically ceased to be living languages and, therefore, ceased to be changing languages-after the Bible was written, has made it exceedingly easy for scholars to translate them into other tongues, and thus-has preserved the Bible in all its-originality for us. The various translations of the Bible into the English language bring to us proof of the changing growth of the English tongue. . ^:-y:i- . .'::.

When he picked it up again he saw the letter \"H\" on the skin where the letter had rested. : - Thirty years afterwards this same lad, then a man, was running a printing press in Mentz, and in 1450 the first book printed was a Latin Bible. In 1525 William Tyndale sent 6,000 printed copies of the New Testament into England, smuggling them in in bales of cloth and sacks of flour, determined that \"the boy who drives the plough in England shall know more of the. Scriptures than the pope does/'. On Friday, October 6th, 1536, Tyndale was strangled at the stake and his body burned, but the Bible was In the hands of the common people in England, and in the language they could understand, through his efforts. Still further changes are noted in the,.. language, as the following quotation from Luke 2:1-5 shows: \"Hit followed in thoose dayes that there' wente out a commaundment from Auguste the Emperour that all the world shoulde be valued. This taxynge was first executed when Syrenus was leftenaunt in Siria. And every man wente in to his awne shire toune there to be taxed. \"And Joseph' also ascended from Galile out of a cite called Nazareth, unto Jewry, into a cite of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the housse and linage of David, to be taxed with Mary his wedded wyfe, which was with childe.\" About 1540 Miles Coyerdale gave to the English the first complete translation of the Bible following Tyndale's wording very closely. Some very 'peculiar passages are in this Bible, still further showing the changes in language. \"The dove bare an olive lea.fe in her nebbe.\"���������-Gens. 8-11. / \"So yt thou shalt not nede to be afrayed for eny bugges by night.\"��������� Psa. 91:5. ��������� \"Is there no treacle in Gilead?\"��������� Jer. 8:22. \"Ther widowes were not looked vpon in the dailie handveaching.\"��������� Acts 11:8. ���������;;' . \\.'k:' \"Paul, the rascal of God and the villain of Jesus Christ.'^���������Titus 1:1. In those daytr \"villain' meant a very humble servant, while ^'rascal\" meant a most needy person. v The change in meaning of words is further shown by Wycliffe's translation of Gens. 35-22, \"Now the brats of Jacob were twelve.\" And in 2 Kings 11-12 he makeB Elisha cry; \"My dad, my dad, the cart of Israel and the horses of it.\" King James'Version. In 1603 King James.'VI., who was then thirty-seven years old, and had been king of Scotland for thirty-six years, became also king of England as James I., thus uniting the two countries in a union that has not yet been broken. Interested in both- religion and learning,Jie favored the project for a thoroughi reyisipn^of the English Bible, \"Uren Facler dhis art in heofnas, Sic gehalged dhin noma, To cymedh dhin ric, Sic dhin uuilla sue is In hoefnas^and in eardho, Vren hlaf uuirthe -sel vs to daeg, ���������'> And forgef us scylda urna, y 0Sue uue forgefan sculdgun vruiti, And no inleadh vridk in costung al gefrig yrich from ifle.\" If we were suddenly put down among our forefathers speaking such a tongue as that, we would never dream it was English. Three hundred years later Math. 7:26-27, the story of the foolish man who built his house upon the sand, appeared thus: \"And aelc thaera the gehyrath thas mine word and tha ne wyrcth se bith gelic tham dysigan man tha getim- brode.. hys hus ofer' sand-ceosel. \"Tha rinde hyt and thaer comun flod and bleowun windas and ahrnjon on that hus, and that hus feoli and hys hryre waes mycel.\" ^However, it'��������� was not until the time of Wycliffe, iri 1384, that the English people had the Bible in any great numbers. This devout man toiled early and late to give the people the Word of God, and while the writing was all done by hand, yet so many copies were made and so carefully were they prized that one hundred and seventy copies ot his Bible are still in existence, after over 500 years. The continual change in the language is shown in the following quotation of Math. 3:1-3. \"In thilke dayees came Joon BaPtist prechynge in the desert of Jude, saying. Do ye penaunce: for the kyngdom of heuecs shall neigh. Forsothe this is he of whom it is said by Ysaye the prophete, A voice of a crying in desert, Make ye redy the wayes of the Lord,\"make ye rightful the pathes of and soon after his coronation a learned committee, of forty-seven of the most scholarly men in the empire set about the task.' The ^year 1611 was' a noted year for many reasons. In that year Shakespeare wrote' two of his most noted dramas', Bacon outlined his greatest book; \"Advancement' of Learning,\" and the second, coqlny of Puritans crossed to Holland preparatory to their longer flight across the seas to the land of the free. But no event compared in importance to this, that in that year the committee gave tp the world what we now know as the \"Authorized\" Version of the Bible. The Bible has done more to spread and unify the English language than almost any other book.o Jones had just run over to see if Mr. arid Mrs. Blank would go to the theatre with them. Mrs. Blank was Borry, but, fortunately, Blank was out. Probably he was at the club. She would telephone. The following, conversation ensued: ���������'.',\"���������\". \"Halloa! Is this the Club?

Stanhope, being an outspoken young man, had made no secret of bis desperate resolve to rescue Enid, so the newspapers supplied the remainder of the romance, and even Lady Margaret herself had contributed to it under the magnetic influence of the hour. '...���������-������������������������������������ It was one thing, however, to be thrilled with the adventures of the rock-bound people, but quite another to figure prominently In . connection with a social scandal of the first magnitude. She knew Penzance too well to hope that the incident would sink into oblivion. Obviously, the matter could .not rest in its present stage. She must expect disagreeable disclosures, significant head-shakings of those who knew little and wanted tp i know more. All the tea-table artillery of a small town would be focused on her defensive position were she loyal to the girl whom her son had chosen as his helpmate. This same son, too, after he had re- covered from the amazement of Mrsr VanBittart's dramatic departure . and Brand's: admission, betrayed, a composure that was distinctly irritating. \"You won't mind if we smoke7 mother,'' he said, \"The situation requires iobaccft.

I've been expecting a disturbance, but didn't look for it to-night.\" , \"Why do you say that, Charlie?\" asked Mr. Traill, rising and stretching his limbs as a man who testa his bones after a heavy fall. \"It was hanging around, Just as one prophesies a storm after an electrical feeling in the air. Mrs. Vansittart re* cognized Brand, and made her calculations accordingly. Let ui give her the credit due to her. Aa soon aa she discovered him, the marriage project ���������waB off.\" _ j \"I had that kind of impression my* self. Glad I mentioned It to you, now.\", \"Of course you are. I'll bet any rea-' aonable sum that Mrs. Vansittart intended to leave Penzance to-morrow as soon as she had made you under* stand that she could not, under any circumstances, become my aunt.\" j A ghost of a smile flitted across Mr.; Traill's, face. His nephew's way ot putting things was delightfully unequivocal. \"What we are apt to lose sight of,\" continued Pyne, \"is the manner in which Brand received what must have been a staggering blow. He met his wife to-night after a separation of more than twenty years. And how he took it! When he spoke, it was really in her behalf. The thing is too amazing. Of course, now that the thunder ,and lightning have started, the sky will clear all the sooner.\" \"Unhappily, such affairs do not arrange themselves so readily!\" snapped Lady Margaret. She was becoming more angry with each wave of reflection. \"Young men like you do not realize the effect of such���������such unpleasant' exposures on family life. How will the early history of her parents affect the future of Constance Brand? As for the other girl���������' Her ladyship threw up her hands in helpless abandonment. To her mind, the adoption of poor Enid, the sea* waif, assumed a darker appearance now that Brand's matrimonial adventures revealed sinister features. Jack Stanhope caught her by the shoulder. \"Mother,\" he cried, \"before you say j another word let me tell you some- j thing you ought to know. Enid is Mr. Traill's daughter!\" j ��������� Now this good woman loved her son dearly. All her thoughts were of him and for him. Her look of blank incredulity yielded, to the confirmation she saw writ on all three faces. ' J lean while Brand and the sorrow- *cen girls, ushered by obsequious servants to the entrance-hall, were constrained to comfort themselves with true British phlegm in view of-the interest caused by their appearance. ' The hour was-not late, about half- past nine. Even whilst the hall porter was summoning a cab the news spread, within and without that the lighthouse-keeper and his daughters, whose exploits filled the minus of all men,-were standing near the door. Several people; complete strangers, came to them and offered warm congratulations. A smart journalist pressed forward and wove his own complimentary utterances into an interview. A crowd gathered quickly on the pavement. Policemen, those mar- shalls of every English demonstration, cleared a path for tbem through the throng. So; with smiling words on their lips and anguiBh in their hearts, they made a triumphal exit. How little could, the friendly enthusiasts who cheered them realize that these three had been atrophied by the deadly malevolence of fate in the very hour when a great achievement had ended happily. Enid suffered almost as keenly aa Brand and his daughter. Their joys and sorrows were hers. \"The startling nature of Brand'B avowal rendered It difficult Ior either Enid or Constance to piece together certain fragmentary memories of .Mrs. Vansittarfs odd behavior during her enforced sojourn on the rock. So thoroughly had she shattered those dimly outlined impressions by the quietly vivacious charm Of her manner at dinner that they both experienced a jumble of sensations. A terrified woman, In wet ..and torn clothing,, cowering in the gaunt interior pf.a stcrm-girt lighthouse, is a very different being, when'attired; In expensive garments and surrounded by the luxuries of a first-class hotel. It'wasa relief to drive to their cot* tageiin. silence* yet, bo easily moulded is, our human clay, it was a greater relief when the tension of the noisy rattle of the cab was relaxed, It cost some effort to assure Mrs. Sheppard, a buxom, motherly soul of Bixty or vU.vnuouls, that they could not posy iibly eat any supper.' The effort was forthcoming. They pleaded weariness, arid at last they w������re alone... Constance knelt by her father's side when he dropped listlessly into the armchair placed in his accustomed corner. \"Now, dad,\" she said, bravely unemotional, \"there will be no more tears. Tell me all that I ought to-know.\" Enid drew a hassock to his feet and seated herself there, clasping her hands about her knees. \"Whatever she did I am sorry foi her,\" said the girl decisively. \"And she-cannot have been a really bad woman, dad, or you would not have loved her once.\" Brand sighed deeply. His strong will had deserted him for a little while. He shrank from the ordeal be fore him. Why should he be called on to sully the mirror of his daughter's innocence by revealing to ber the die- grace of her mother? Constance caught something of tbe dread in his soul. \"Don't tell me if it hurts'you, dad! I am content to bear more than I have borne .to-night if it lessens your sufferings,\" she whispered. He 'placed an arm around each ol them. \"It Is God's will,\" be said; \"that 1 should have to. face many trials at a period when I expected nothing bul some few years of quiet happiness.\" \"Nothing in this world can part' ui from you,\" said Constance. \"Oh, nothing,\" agreed Enid solemnly nestling closer. Her- earnestness was helpful. He smiled wistfully. ��������� \"You forget, Enid, that there is ��������� grave chance of you, at any rate, leaving me for another,\" he said. She blushed. \"That is the worst ot girls gettinf married;\" she protested. -'They ar������ supposed to be delighted because thej are going to live with strange people. Girls who are of that mind.cannot be happy at home. If I thought that be ing married to Jack Implied separation from.you and Constance���������\" \"You would give bim up and wees your eyes out.\" He pressed her pouting lips together as he went on: \"Now, my dear ones, I wish both ol Brand stroked the' weeping girlV aair. \"One does not cry, little one, when, me is suddenly endowed witb K ���������vealthy and distinguished relative.! .Vow, I did not spring this revelation, )n you without a motive.

Neither the giri herself, nor her sister by adoption, nor Mrs. Vansittart, to whom, until the past half-hour, I considered myself to be engaged, is aware of the undoubted fact which your son has just told you. Let me say that I, as her father, am proud to think she has won the affections of such a man as Stanhope. There is no reason why you, his mother, should not be equally satisfied with the pedigree and prospects of my daughter.\" His calm assumption of a rank equal if not superior to her own was convincing to a woman of her tempera-1 ment Assuredly that evening was a memorable one to her ladyship. The repose of Vere de Vere was rudely shocked for once. Nevertheless, the knowledge that her lifelong ambition had been realized in a way little dreamed of by any of those most concerned was-in itself consoling. Mr. Traill, quite unconsciously, loomed large in the social eye of Penzance, and the widowed lady had not been so long withdrawn from the wealth-worshiping world of London as to be wholly unleavened with the worship of the golden calf. So it was with quickened interest that she set herself to listen to the story of Enid's parentage, and, if her fear of local gossip-mongers shrank as her perception of Enid's real social position increased, much may be for given to the motherly sentiment thai no wife can be too good for an excel lent aon. you to be prepared for very unexpected changes. Two- most important events in your lives have taken placi within a few hours. Constance, if you saw your mother to-night, Enid also saw her father. I have known for two days that Enid's father is Mr. Traill.'' For an instant, it must be confessed, Constance and Enid alike feared thai the mental and physical strain he had undergone had temporarily deranged him. It was not sheer Incredulity bul real terror he saw in their eyes. Some how, their self-effacement in his be half touched him more keenly than anything else had done during this troubled period. He bowed his head. A strong man In agony cannot, endure the scrutiny of loving eyes. \"Enid,\" he said brokenly, \"my wordi to you must be few. Good fortune needs but slight explanation. Tin proofs of my statement I do not pos sees, but Mr. Traill's letter to m������ could not have been written by such i man if he were not sure of his facts. Here it is. Read it aloud.\" He handed her her father's plain spoken communication. Constance Incapable of deeper depths.of amaze ment than those now probed, looked over her sister's shoulder. Togethei they deciphered the somewhat diffi' cult handwriting qf a man whose chiel; task for years had been to sign hit name. i This drawback was good In Its re! suit. They persevered steadily to th������! end. Then Enid, the comforter, broke j down herself. l^flH \"It cannot be true, dad,\" she cried \"I have been one of your daughters al my life. Why should I be taken front you now?\" - \"I believe it is quite true,\" sail Brand quietly and the need there wai to coi.3ole her was beneficial to him self. \"Mr. Traill speaks of proofs You have met him. I exchanged bare ly a word,, a glance, with him, but i is not believable that he would mak< these solemn statements without tht most undeniable testimony.\" \"Indeed, Enid,\" murmured Con stance, \"it sounds like the truth, els������ he would never have spoken so defi nitely of my father's claim on you: affectipins^ ^_. 7^.11. .-���������.. ��������������������������� Oodor New Management Meals - 20cI B.

A., School Trustee Candidate, is eminently qualified by nature and education for this responsible position. He is substantially a self-made man and not spoiled in the making. Left to his own resources in early life, he, with commendable ambition and characteristic perseverance and great success, applied himself to the acquisition of knowledge. He is a graduate of Mount Allison University, Saekville, N. B., from which he received the degree of B. A. in-1887. and M. A. in 1897. He has devoted one year to the L.L. D. course in Dalhousie University from which he will finally receive this much .coveted title. During his thirteen years residence in Vancouver, Mr. Haney has given large attention to educational matters and is thoroughly posted on all details of school work. Having been a school teacher himself and a student, who surmounted many difficulties in the pursuit of knowledge he - is a desirable man for the position in question. See his platform and measure its planks. His election would add strength to the board. AGAIN A CANDIDATE FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEE. Among those seeking re-election to the School Board is Mr. W. E. Flummerfelt, who has very ably and well served.for some two terms. This and a former year Mr. Flummerfelt served as chairman of the Building and Grounds, and also the Finance Committee. Last year he was chairman of the Board, in which capacity lie too, served well. Not only is he greatly interested in the buildings and grounds, but also manifests a keen interest in the work of the schoolroom where he is a constant visitor. Mr. Flummerfelt before coming to the city, where he has resided,.somefifteen years, filled the positions of teacher and trustee. This gentleman has recognition beyond our City Board as he, at the recent Trustee Convention was unanimously chosen President of the Association for the Province. No doubt but that the electorate will assure themselves continuous service on this important board. PARK COMMISSIONER Geo. M. Endacott, Park Commissioner Candidate, is oue of Vancouver's promising men. During his eight years' residence here he has interested himself in. the things that contribute to the city's life, attractiveness and permanent growth. Elsewhere in this paper may be seen his platform which will commend itself to all votors who have the future, pf Vancouver at heart. Tlie \"City Beautiful\" is one of Mr. Endacott's favorite hobbies. For this he is to be commended since >��������� the caesthetic in city building becomes a \"potent factor, in social, educational and commercial development. Men of .fine \"tastes, strength and wealth naturally gravitate to centres of beauty and refinement and thus materially contribute to the permanent growth of said centres. Mr. Endacott, if elected, will be prepared to support W.7R. Owen's progressive policy of general, improvement giving large attention to the outlying, sections in furnishing and improving playgrounds and parks for (children whose outdoor life is almost wholly overlooked. Examine his platform and decide as to his election. CAR SERVICE. Vancouver, B. C., December 12th, 1911. To the Editor: ���������In the matter of the comparisons in car services whieh the B. C. E. Ity. hold up to the people of Vancouver, if I am not imposing, I would like to poinj out in this matter that the figures are somewhat misleading. If .we take the question of population, we find that the Company have used the census figures of the City proper and they do not allow for the fact that a large body of people living in the outlying districts such as South Vancouver, Point Grey, Burnaby, Hastings Townsite; I think we might also include a considerable number from the neighboring cities of New Westminster aud North Vancouver, who have their business in Vancouver and are entitled to be included in the figures quoted. There are also several intcrurban lines which are fed from the eity cars, and their rush hours are such as to further discredit the comparison. Then the question of the mileage of tlie routes should be taken into consideration and the number of the trips made on eaeh line, as it really is not a question of how many cars, but a question of how often cars pass a given point going to a certain district. When we consider the fact that False Creek makes some of our lines of a necessity longer than would be otherwise advisable and also the fact that the Davie street car service, one of the most important in the City, makes part of its trip outside the part of the City the Company quote in their figures for the census, then we can see that we are not getting the favorable comparison that they quote. . There is another comparison that I would like to see made and that is the hours' service per ear per thousand of population as I am satisfied that after the hour of 11 p.m. any other city in Canada has the advantage of Vancouver. If it is a matter of comparison then\" the main -figures for such have not been touched on. Seeing that the Company have started the compari- . son why not have them complete the same. Yours, A. S. g. ACCOMMODATION TO BE PROVIDED FOR OLD FOLKS. Through the energetic efforts of Aid. Williamson the indigent aged of this city are to be provided with comfortable quarters. Aid. Williamson advises us that he has succeeded, in securing from the Provincial Government consent to purchase from them any portion of an eighteen-acre block at the corner of Union street and Boundary Road. For many years the destitute aged of this city have been housed in the old hospital buildings which are far from suitable, but with the large tract of land which has been secured for this purpose, the city will -be able to provide splendid accommodation for these unfortunate old people. The price sug-, gested is $2,000.00 per acre, whieh is a most reasonable figure and much credit is due to Aid. Williamson for briuging to a successful issue this most difficult problem which has been agitating the public mind for so many years. ^' Ml COTTAGE Ai SOUTH VANCOU VER Numerous burglaries are reported recently in the neighborhood ot Fraser and Main streets. One evening last week whilst the police were watching on Twenty-fifth avenue and Fraser street (having been notified of a suspicious character being in that district), the store of I. t Fitzpatrtck at the other end of Twenty-fifth avenue on Main^street _was broken, into. .and. goods and cash stolen. The Cedar Cottage fire brigade, known as the \"Flying Squad,\" ���������held their first annual ball at the Marfew Hall on Thursday. 21st inst.,. when a large company enjoyed themselves to the excellent music provided by. the Central Park band. The scholars of the Lord Selkirk School, Cedar Cottage, gave an excellent concert at Marfew Hall on Wednesday, in aid of tbe funds for' providing a school library. A halt has been called to await the report of Mr. H. H. Stevens. M.P., as to the result of his negotiations at Ottawa. This is expected now in the course of the next few days.

A Christmas dance is announced for Dec. 26th at St. Mary's Parish Hall. The sirens for use in the fire halls of the municipality have now arrived and are being installed, j The Board of Trade held a most successful smoker social on Wednesday last week, the speeches and refreshments being equally enjoyable.

Goddard, the well- known real estate agent, protesting against the uselessness ot the present service on account of high rates', slow service and the requirement of two transfers in going to or from tbe city. Councillor Dickinson stated he had already taken up. this question with Mr. Roosevelt of the B. C. E. Ry.. who bad promised to give the matter his attention. A deputation of volunteer firemen from Wards 1, 2 and 4. attended to submit _ _numerous_ j$comuendations for improvements which they considered necessary. Boots, badges, coats and helmets were amongst the list, .but Reeve Pound advanced the plea of poverty, explaining that the present fire halls and equipment had been paid for out of the general revenue. Lew Jim and other Chinese property owners gave notice by letter o ftheir intention to take legal steps to stop the tram line extension on. Main street.

Although many ancient writers have made ambiguous references to December 25th as the birthday of our Lord, no certain information exists, and it was during the fifth century (about 440 A.D.) that the western church ordered it to be celebrated forever on the day of the old feast of the birth of Sol. The 25th December was a holiday in Great Britain long before the conversion to Christianity. Bede relates that, \"The ancient peoples of the angli began the year on the 25th December, -when we now celebrate the birth of the Lord; and the very night which is now so holy to us, they called in their tongue modranicht (modra nicht) that is mothers' night.\"' In the seventeenth century the Pur itans forbad any' merriment or religious services on Christmas Day on the ground that it was a heathen festi- val.\" Charles II. revived the feast, but the Scots adhered to the Puritan view; and at tbe present time business is commonly suspended in England, the United States and other countries, but in Scotland this is only partly the case. The custom of giving presents at Christmas Is derived from tbe ancient heathen, but outside Teutonic countries this custom is unknown. The Christmas tree-has been.traced back to the Romans, but the tending of Christmas cards and greetings has sprung up within the last fifty years. The .term Christmas box is derived from the days of the church when boxes were placed in the church for the reception of - offerings. _ These boxes were opened by the priest on Christmas day and their contents distributed on the morrow.
