Last Saturday' everyl school bylaw was turned down by overwhelming majorities. Earlier in the week the council refused to make the grant of $.7,500 asked for by the North Arm Harbor Commissioners. Point Grey and\" Richmond - have\" practically assured the commisioners that their part of the necesary $30,000 would be forth- Vcoming, and already tenders are being called for for .the 'necessary' drilling, etc., on~which to base the report required by the Federal Government. Further delay in making~a start on Main street paving is assured, and- the. weeks and months roll on without a tap of work in our municipality. \\ Meantime it is being said all over South Vancouver: That Councillor Gold has discovered the truth of the old adage \"You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the the time; but you'can't fool all the people all the time.\" i That Councillor ^Gold \"fooled\" the reeve and ' all the councillors,\" to say nothing of the ratepayers who elected him, early in the year into supporting his foolish and vindictive \"two- 1 handed sword\" scheme. That he has ceased to fool some of the coun- r cillors. That he is still fooling others. That it is amusing to watch how Edward flatters tlie vanity of one and cajoles another . into supporting his schemes. ��������� ' \\ -������ > \\ That he made a bad break when he accused tbe old council of crooked work, in reducing the . water rates. That he showed-his hand too plainly.!\" . That as the representative of Messrs. .Gold, and Company 'of vacant land owners Edward tried to fool the council into the belief that there is a deficit on the water department and tbat the residents in South Vancouver should pay more for their water so that the non-resident owners of vacant property may get off scott free. That Eddie seems to, regard the residents as a lot of suckers. That he has run the municipality into a nice little lawyers' bill over the Main street paving contract. That his friend Woodwork's bill alone is $300 for telling the council he was \"not satisfied\" that the contract would stand the test of the law courts. That Woodworth's bill was not the only one, for outside advice. That other lawyers had previously advised ' ��������� that the contract was sound in law. ,. That taken all in all Edward has run the municipality- into -thousands of _ dollars unnecessary cost in fighting his personal battle with the Po- minion Creosotiqg Company, beside keeping'many men out of work during the winter months: That it would be interesting to know what interest he has in Granitoid? That owing to Councillor Gold's bull headed opposition to the North Fraser Harbor appropriation there is a strong possibility of South Vancouver being left out of the proposed harbor - developments. That there are two channels on the North Arm only one of which has frontage in South Vancouver. That the commisioners, if they have to put up with much more of Edward's nonsense, may decide to ignore South Vancouver and to deepen the second channel, which is entirely in the municipality of Richmond. That the demand for a monthly financial statement while it appeals to the gallery is unnecessary, as the Harbor Act provides that the books of the commisisoncrs shall be inspected each year by the auditors of the municipalities interested.

The Western Call, Vancouver, R. 0.: Hon. G. JS. Foster, minister of Trade and Commerce, it making special efforts to advance tbe trade activity of the Pacific Coast. He baa secured reports of the demand for timber in tbe Orient which amounts to seventy-five million feet per annum, most of which is now supplied in Oregon. _ i Tbe Chinese trade prefer, bowever, British Columbia lumber trade/and it is now up to our mills to supply tbis demand; tbe market is there; it only requires going after. Mr. foster also has encouraging reports re tbe demand for flour, which trade is also largely in control' of Americans, but already, as tbe results of our efforts, Canadian flour shipments have increased largely. This demand is capable of unlimited expansion, and Vancouver shippers, both of lumber and flour, should cultivate tbis market by sending representatives to China fully equipped. There is information now at Ottawa that an order for over ten million feet of lumber is going a begging from China at attractive figures. What is the matter with Vancouver traders?

GETS 55 PER CENT. OF STREET CAR EARNINGS Fraser River \"'. Water is steadily deepening through the new north channel of the Fraser river mouth, soundings taken this week show that at no point in the channel is there less than twenty-eight feet of water at ordinary tide. The action of the current is. rapidly .cutting this channel deeper, while the dredges are engaged in widening it. The channel, while narrow, is deep and safe, and shipping is now using it though the buoys have not been moved from the old channel. At the present rate of deepening and widening, the prediction of \"Forty feet from New Westminster.tp the Sea,\" will be fulfilled in less than the three months allowed the dredges and current by the enthusiastic supporter of the river route when he made the prophesy a few weeks ago. .-���������������������������'.���������'.'���������' LADNER FERRY Leaves Steveston at 9:30 a.m. Leaves Steveston at 4:30 p.m. Cateh the 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. cars from Eburne.

Ottawa, April 15th STORM CENTER IN IRELANB There has been quite .a shake up in the f Motherland during the paat three weeks, and' even now many can hardly make up their minds as to what has happened and what effect the crisis will have oh the future of Ireland and'the -, Empire. , ��������� -.

Out of the turmoil one figure stands in bold , relief���������Sir Edward Carson���������clear headed, fear-- less and wise he has guided his. party through the '- storm. /- Having everything���������he has risked all and Won v, a bloodless victory that gains in importance as the days go by and calmer views .prevail.

If Home Rule is to be given . at all it will be given all round-r*nd ' Bourassa has just as much right to, ask tnfet New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince EdwasoVv Island be joined and subject to Quebec as Red-. mond haa to ask that Ulster be ruled from Dub- lin. The Irish are not one racially, they are much further apart in this respect than the Quebec French and the Nova-Scotians, and they ire ab- , solutelyiat^dagger* drown religiously. The irishman, outside of Ulster, is an1 evty going, devil-may-care, jovial spendthrift (as a\\' rule). The Ulsterraan is the hard headed, keen business man week Sir Edward Carson and his Ulstermen in de- * monstrating that there is still a people' on earth' that cares enough about their religion to risk everything for the privilege of maintaining it. These are days when most Protestants seem to think that true religion consists in not having any religious convictions at all, and Ulster has given the Protestant world an example of priceless worth. The storm center this1 week seems to be Lima- vaddy, where Protestant and Nationalist yolun- teer^are drilling almost side by side, and a spark might set the whole country ablaze. Limavaddy is a small town in Derry a few miles northeast of Londonderry. Limavaddy is famous for having a unique railroad charter, wherein it is allowed to run one train each way on Sundays, but the locomotive is forbidden to whistle on that \"day. - - ^ Limavaddy is also famous for being the birthplace of our worthy fellow townsman Mr. John McGatty, ex-president of the Ward I Conservative Association, South Vancouver. But in spite of rumors of possible fights���������the \"atmosphere has been cleared���������by the consistent and determined stand taken by Sir (Edward Carson and a host of Britain's noblest sons backed by 110.000 of Ulster's stern brood.' Redmond may orate and Devlin rave but the fact stands out clearer and clearer that Ulster will not be enslaved. The part the British army officers���������and rank and file, has played in this struggle brings a glow of honest pride to every true Briton's heart ���������given ten minutes to decide by his superior��������� it took General Gough less than ten seconds to give a full arid final answer that none could fail to understand, and with him stood���������unafraid��������� practically all his fellow officers. HON. W. T. WHITE ADDS ANOTHER SURPLUS TO HIS RECORD Mr. White, in his third Budget speech was able-to add another to his series of record surpluses of the past two years. The surplus for 1913-14 was, thirty-seven millions. The series is unique in the history of Canada. The total revenue for 1913-14 was $163,000,- 000, nearly six millions less than that of 1912-13. This is relatively satisfactory as, following the financial depression of 1907, the country's revenue decreased by eleven millions. The consolidated fund expenditure for 1913-14 was $126,500,000, an increase of $14,500,000 over the previous year; The increase in the net debt, of the country on the year's operations will be nineteen, million dollars. Following the 1907 financial crisis, the increase was $46,000,000. As was expected, important changes in the tariff were announced, including a reduction in the duty on farm implements below the rate provided for in the proposed Reciprocity agreement of 1911. ,',r^ '' \" , 'V. - -VvT '<.\\ -, ' '-. r 2 THE WESTERN CALL.

NOTARY PUBLIC Dow, Fraser & Co. LIMITED 317-321 Cambie Street 2313 Main Street Between 7th and 8th Aves. McKay Station, Burnaby Mr. Chairman, Brethren, and Fellow Citizens: I hail the presence of so many ministers of different Protestant churches and so many leading members of different Protestant churches in this vast auv 5nce as an evidence that the pressure of the conflict with Borne is drawing us closer together (Applause.) We are finding out, I venture to say, that the things in which we agree are more important by far than the things in which we differ. (Applause.). A Word of Explanation Now, sir, no apology is necessary at any time for setting forth the reasons why we occupy the position we do; but, as you have already intimated, Mr. Chairman, the time is opportune for this exposition of the Protestant faith, because of the Mission to \"non-Catholics,\" as they offensively call us, recently held in St. Patrick's church, for the express purpose of proselyting our Protestant people. Why, my friends and brethren, so eager were the Paulist Fathers to let us know all about it that some of them, or one of them, or some representative of theirs, came into the vestibule of my church and tacked the notice of the lectures on my bulletin! Well, I took notice! (Applause.) In the Mission, the doctrines of Protestantism have been assailed, as usual, and every argument known to those skillful controversialists has been employed to seduce Protestants from their allegiance. In these notices and in the public press, Protestants have, as I have said, been dominated \"non-Catholics.\" Now we resent that nomenclature. We Protestants are '' catholics \"in the true sense of the word. In our creed we say, \"I believe in the Holy Catholic church,\" and we do. On the other hand, we refuse to yield to the church of Rome the name \"Catholic.\" It is the greatest arrogance for that church to appropriate that great and venerable term. I know of no\\\\ church upon earth that has so little claim to be called Catholic as the church of Rome. Under the circumstances now described, it has been felt by the ministers at whose invitation I am here, that the time is opportune for a definition and a defense of the Protestant faith. Now, I am not here to attack the Roman church, but to defend Protestantism from the attacks which'have been leveled against it. But in repelling these attacks, it will become necessary to expose some of the contradictions and absurdities and inconsistencies that are involved in the doctrines of that church. I, however, am not responsible for that; but those who by assailing our faith, and doing everything m their power to draw our people from their allegiance; have made it necessary for us to expose what we believe to be tho unreasonableness of the faith of the Roman church. Proteitantism Not a Series of Negations. Now, first of all, and before entering particularly upon exhibition of the grounds upon which we protest against the doctrine and''practice of the Church of Rome, \\ desire to make two brief preliminary remarks. The first is that Protest- ism is not, as commonly represented, a mere series of negations,���������denying error rather than affirming truth; repudiating false doctrine rather than proclaiming the true. No; we write the word Pro- testantiiph our escutcheon in its full etymological significance. A Protestant is one that bears witness for any person or thing; and a Protestant church is one that bears witness for Christ and; bis gospel in the world. It is a name not to be ashamed of, in either its origin or its history. When our Jjqrd Jesus Christ stood before Pilate, hT saidtohinSselfVT \" T6~this\"ena^^ for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.\" Humbly treading in the footsteps of her divine JJord, the Protestant church goes forth into the world having this as her aim, that she may \"bear witness unto the truth.\" Lot was a Protestant when he stood alone for God in the midst of wicked Sodom. The Jewish nation, was Protestant, standing among the nations of the earth, a witness for the unity of God, the supremacy of conscience, and the sancity of the moral law. And, supreme instance! let it never be forgotten that Christ and his apostles were Protestants in their day. They were Protestants for the truth of God, against the traditions and corruptions of the Jewish hierarchy, the established church of that day. And they not only bore witness for the revelation made in the incarnation . of the Son of God, but they bore witness against the false doctrines of the scribes and Pharisees, the chief priests and elders of the church. In like manner and in fulfillment of the injunction of the great Head of the church, our Protestant churches bear witness among men today, not only positively, for \"the faith which was once delivered unto the saints,\" but negatively, against the manifold corruptions of that faith for which the Church of Rome is responsible. And, therefore, they bear on their escutcheon the glorious word Protestant,���������the witness bearers. Protestants Are Not Heretics Nor Separatists The other introductory remark I have to make is that though we are Protestants, we are not heretics nor separatists. |! (Applause.) In 1868 the late Pope Pius IX. addressed letters '' to Protestants and other non-Catholics,'' inviting them,to return to the bosom of the Holy Mother Church, as the only means of insuring their salvation. Now, we deny that we have ever separated from the Catholic Church. One of the articles of our faith is, \"I believe in the Holy Catholic Church,'' and in this we claim and enjoy full membership, by the same Spirit which joins in one communion and fellowship \"the blessed company of all faithful people.\" In fact, the Pope and his adherents are the innovators and heretics who have departed from \"the faith once delivered,\" who have corrupted the Christian creed; and not the Protestants, who have rejected Rome's novelties and returned to the creed and the practice of the primitive ages of Christianity. Yes, it is the Church of Rome, and not the Protestant churches, which, by her errors and usurpations has separated herself from the Catholic Church of Christ. When she departed from the primitive faith, she became heretical; and when she made the acl knowledgment of her erroneous and strange doctrines a condition of membership within her communion, she then forced upon men the alternative of separating from her or of abandoning the faith which they were bound to \"contend for.\" Luther and Melanchthon, Calvin and Beza.Cran- mer and Ridley and Latimer,���������all that noble band of reformers in the sixteenth century, chose the former alternative. They decided to obey God rather than men. Were they therefore heretics! Was it heresy to obey Christ and Christ's unchangeable truth rather than abandon these for the sake of union with a Church which had apostatized from the faith and required all her members to acquiesce in her apostasy?���������jNay, was not she the heretic who, abandoning the Holy Scriptures as her guide, taught for doctrines the commandments of men? Let it be remembered, also, that as far as the Church of England was concerned, the reformation was a rebellion against a foreign yoke, and the restoration of the original ecclesiastical authority. The British- church had existed for centuries in entire independence of Rome. It had produced martyrs to the faith in the reign of Diocletian. It had sent bishops to the Councils of Aries (A.D. 314), Sar- dica (AD. 347), and Ariminum (A.D. 359). It had held numerous synods of its own. As to its orthodoxy, St. Jerome and St. Chrysostom had both borne testimony to it. But it was not until ,the seventh century that the Church of Rome gained a footing on the island. Her pretensions to exercise authority over the British church were resisted^ The bishops of the native church (refused to yield their customs or to receive Augustine as their archbishop, tfhey resisted for more than a century the attempt of Rome to bring them into subjection. In short, the Church of England of that day became Romanised only after an ineffectual protest and a prolonged resistance on the part of the native episcopate. Scripture Versus Tradition - Now, my friends, I Come \"to the substantive part of my address this afternoon. Why are we Protestants? I reply, First of all, we are Protestants because we build our faith and hope on the impregnable rock of Holy Scripture, and not on the shifting siinds of ecclesiastical tradition.v The Bible, and the Bible alone, is the basis of the religion of Protestants; but tradition, interpreting the Bible, and often superseding it and contradicting it, is the basis of the religion of Romanists. (Now when I use the term Romanist, J beg you to observe that I am using a terra which has for authority no less a: person, than John H. Newman himself, for he published a book called \"Lectures on Romanism and Popular Protestantism.\" Therefore, if instead of calling that church the Catholic church, I speak of it as Romanism, I am simply adopting the language of John H. Newman.) We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his apostles in building our faith only on the revelation of truth contained in the Bible. \"Search the^Scriptures,\" Christ said. The Scripture cannot be broken., ' The Church of Rome, on the contrary, builds her doctrines upon a double basis,���������the Bible and tradition; but by making tradition the authoritative^interpreter oi the Biblershe really restsruoV upon the teaching of the Bible, but upon the teaching of tradition- Now, that is a serious charge. I wish to prove it. The creed of Pope Pius TV., which was published in A J). 1564, and has ever since been the universal symbol of doctrine in the Roman Church, declares as follows: \\ 1. \"I most firmly admit and embrace the apostolical and ecclesiastical traditions, and all otber observances and constitutions of the said church. 2. I admit also Holy Scripture, according to that sense which Holy Mother Church, to whom it appertains to judge of the true meaning and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, hath holden and still holds.\" Now compare with this the language of the Council ofTrent: \"The Holy Ecumenical and General Council of Trent <. . . receives and venerates with equal affection of piety and reverence all the books of the Old and the New Testament, . ��������� . as also the said traditions, as well those pertaining to faith as to morals, preserved in the Catholic Church by a continuous succession.\" A Fundamental Error Here, then, is the first,, as it is the fundamental, error against which we protest,���������the making tradition, i. e., the alleged oral teaching of the apostles, handed down from their times, of equal authority with the written word of God; and the declaration that the Sacred Scriptures are to be admitted only in the sense in which the Roman Church explains them, The sixth article of the Church of England declares, on the contrary, that \"Holy Scripture containeth ail things necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article of faith.\" When this is denied, the very foundations of the faith are sapped. Our feet no longer stand on the rock of,God's written Word, but upon the uncertain and shifting sands of tradition. No wonder that the Church of Rome has been \"carried about by every wind of doctrine,\" since she has cast anchor upon such treacherous ground. For, mark you. as if it were not a sufficient impiety to declare the traditions (Gontlnuttf on Pag* 7) Terminal City Press, Ltd. 203=207 Kingsway Your Printing Orders will ^ receive prompt and careful attention.

Through all these years all the support we have ever received in a business way from that element ha 8 been applications for free'advertising and printing.

We have refused thousands of dollars worth of advertising from sources, the business of which was contrary to our policy���������liquor ads.,- etc. Last month we turned down $900 worth vof this \"class of advertising, because we felt it unfair to accept revenue from a business which we editorially condemned.

If you believe in our policy���������say so���������not by word of mouth or letter only (although that is helpful) but by paying your subscription���������if you have not already done so. By helping us to get new subscribers, by renewing promptly and above all by giving us a chance to do your printing and your advertising. We do not ask for charity���������if we cannot do your printing, as weir and as low as others we , will make no further demands' upon you, although we run a union shop and pay the highest wages to our men. But if you think it of value to have a paper run upon the principles under ii which we have sought to establish the Western Call, then you must stand with iis in more than mere wishes, for our welfare. \"We do not expect to please you always���������indeed we will make no effort to do so.

Within the next two years it will be possible to journey from any of the great European capitals, Paris, Berlin, or Vienna, to Demascus, Nazareth, and Jerusalem by rail over the Bagdad line, to say nothing of the Garden of Eden, and then on to Mosul, that flourishing little village which has sprung lip on the rains of ancient Nineveh, while Bagdad, near which lie the remains of Babylon, that mighty city reared amid such splendor by Nebuchadnezzar, will be reached, the engineers tell us, within three years-from now. The line also touches on Tarsus, the birthplace of St. Paul. ANOTHER WHITE STAR SHIP PITT MEADOWS BORING NOW 1060 FEET DEEP Mr. J. O. Noggle, an oil driller, of New Mexico, who has been conducting the drilling operations of the Coast Development Syndicate at Sturgeon's Slough, nine miles up the Pitt river, is reported to have stated that in his opinion a good flow of natural gas may be struck soon at the borings. The boring is now at about 1060 feet. It is generally known after the recent investi- ! gation of oilfield experts that Pitt Meadows shows excellent indications of both oil and gas, but the greatest difficulty has been to keep off the water which is-encountered at low depth. The cost pf boring the present well, which is the second one sunk by the company, is about $12,000. Redemption of the Negro There are over 14,000 negroes in the employ \\ of the federal government. Their salaries, as reported by the Republican tampaign text book, amount to $8,255,761. The highest salary is $10,- 000, paid to the United States minister to Hayti, but a considerable number of colored government officials receive salaries of from $2,500 to $5,000 per year. Nearly three hundred negroes are postmasters, while about three thousand are connected with the postoffice department. There are a number of high grade negro clerks in the patent office at Washington. One of these is an expert examiner who has held bis position for twenty- two years- In the government departments in Washington are 5,768 negroes on salaries. There are forty-eight of them in the library of Congress. Pining WltH the Kin* Booker T.

A CHINAMAN'S QRATITUPE Joe CJioynsW, Pugilist, and Jim Ron, Chinaman Chicago.���������Joe Choynski, former pugilist and now director of a Pittsburg sporting club, has been left a legacy of $10,000 in the will of Jim Pon, a Chinese whom the boxer befriended years ago. Jim Pon died a few days ago, and his sons l^d Ying and Bert-Yingrunable to open the safe^ in their father's Twenty-second street restaurant, \"The Garden o| the Seven Lillies,\" wired to their oldifriend Choynski. The boxer reached Chicago today, and with him brought a safe expert. In a few minutes the big steel doors swung open, and on top of a pile of papers was found Pon's will. It named Choynski as executor and guardian of Jim Pon's sons and awarded him a substantial part of a good sized fortune. Choynski's first act of kindness toward Pon was in sending his boys to school. Later, when Jim Pon became wealthy, he sent Ned Ying to China, where the boy married. When Ned returned to America, leaving bis, wife and their little child in China, he was halted by the immigration officials at Seatle, but Choynski again came to his aid. He explained by letter Ned Ying's American-birth, and had him re-admitted. Choynski has arranged to have Jim Pon's little grandson join his father here and also arranged, in addition to Jim Pon's will, to have both Ned Ying's wife and mother taken care of in China. BACK TO THE BIBLE. The following quotations are taken from the Victoria Times, a good sign when a daily paper strikes out on this line: \"It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a bible reading people. \"���������Horace Greeley, founder of the New York Tribune. \"To my early knowledge of the Bible I owe the best part of my taste in literature, and the most precious, and, on the whole, the one essential part of my education.\"���������John Ruskin, famous English author and art critic, 1819-1900. \"There never was found, in any age of the world, either religion or law that; did so highly exalt the public good as the Bible.\"���������Sir Francis Bacon, father of modern philosophy. \"According to the testimony of Christ himself, it is a sign of reprobation to have a distaste or aversion for the Word of God.\"���������His Eminence James, Cardinal Gibbons. \"The Bible is beter worth reading twenty times than any other book is worth reading once.\" ���������Albert S.

The idea is prevalent that under the new act of the legislature, licenses must be taken out before angling can be indulged in. This is not so, the Attorney General having stated that all anglers resident in the province being at liberty to us? rod anl line as formerly. The regulations governing trout fishing this year state: \"No one shall fish for, catch or kill trout of any kind, including steel head of two pounds in weight undressed, or under, from November IS in each year to March 25 following, both dates inclusive, except in the waters east of the 12th.

THOMAS MULVEY,- Under Secretary of State. There are, trees in Canada whose commercial importance is clearly on the wane. According to one of the latest bulletins of the Dominion Forestry branch, the value of the white pine lumber cut in 1912, was one and a half million dollars less than in 1911. The cut of hemlock decreased thirty per cent; that of cedar decreased twenty-seven per cent., and tamarack, the lumber production t>f which' has decreased over forty per cent, in the last two years, bids fair soon to become commercially extinct. Of the six leading tree species in Canada, Douglas fir was the only one whose lumber production increased in 1912. In the province of British Columbia alone, Douglas fir formed Over 67:7 per cent, of the total, lumber cut, the richest timber province in Canada, containing, according to some'7 estimates, one-half ihe merchantable timber wealth of the Dominion. This remarkable} tree attains a height of over two hundred feet with a trunk ten to twelve feet in diameter, forming, alone or mixed with hemlock, great forests extending four hundred miles north of the International boundary. Its natural range extends in Canada to the eastern foot hills of the Rocky mountains in Alberta, where it grows to a height of 130 feet and a diameter of four feet, and is considered one of the most important timber trees on the Dominion Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve, which covers, an area ' of nearly^. 21,000 square miles. It is also widely distributed throughout the western United States, being able to stand considerable climatic .variation, and All Fruits I! in Season^ Largest Stock of Confectionery Froit ft Tobacco on Hillj - PHONE Fairmont 638 Free delivery to any put of the city.\" 1,.M..|.������ IhImIiiM ������iM..|i ii..Mi.t..i.������.������4i*.|..i.^. 4 iMi'tft'l\"!'||\"M' I 'l\"M\"Mii|\"fr ������'f ������'M ������������a rv practically immune to insects, or fungus disease.

He spoke my- name in a half-whisper and 'l awoke againto realities with a start. \"The officers are here, sir,\" bo Informed me, matter-of-factly. \"The officers?\" I repeated, and then, memory reasserting Itself, I added: \"Ob, yes, of course. Ask them to wait just a moment, Checkabeedy.\" Into the mental marshalling of facts Which ersued there came a vivid mem-. ory of that weird acene in the alck- chamber when Cameron had raved in a atrange tongue, mingled with words of pidgin-English and a few phrases- Incriminating phrases, in the light of tonight's revelation���������of vigorous vernacular, if what Bryan had aald waa true���������and for him-to, lie about-, a-mat^ ter aa readily demonatrable waa hardly to be considered���������I must conclude myself beaten at all points. From firat to last, then, I had been defending a creature unworthy of defense. It waa difficult to accept tula con-: elusion. Mind and heart alike were arrayed against it. Yet, thinking clearly now, I recognized fully the position ln which I had placed myself. I had been willing to swear, to wager, there was no tattoo mark, and the best ~ evidence���������my own witness���������had; proved me wrong. Certainly I could1 expect no mild Judgment from these Asiatics. Honest aa I had been, they must believe that I bad known, and, bad meant to deceive them. They probably thought tbat I bad signalled to Bryan to endorse me ln my lies, and| that the nurse had either misunderstood or openly rebelled. Before Checkabeedy had reached tbe ��������� door, I recalled him. \"On second thought,\" I aald, \"tbe officers need not wait. Tell them that It waa a mistake. I shall not require them.\" Turning to Yep Sing and hia companion, I added: \"What Mr. Bryan has told you Is tbe greatest surprise to me. Even yet I can scarcely believe it, unless the mark and the scar were obtained while my friend was a prisoner in the bands of your countrymen.\" \"Tattoo marks and scars show age ���������no less than faces,\" the merchant replied. \"Both of these are years old. Any capable judge of such things will tell you that. PoBBlbly Mr. Bryan can tell.\" \"The acar is not a fresh one,\", aald the nurse. \"As to tattoo marks, I am hot experienced; but I shouldn't think the mark on Mr. Cameron's arm was put there recently.\" \"Gentlemen,\" I said, making a final stand, \"while I do not question Mr. Bryan's entire honesty in this matter, nevertheless I prefer to see these marks of identification, myself. If you Will excuse us for five minutes, I shall not be longer.\" . _ At the foot of the grand staircase, outburst, and It still held for me an at jmosphere as grewsomely forbidding aa tbat of a tomb. 1 Only one lowered light burned, over i* tall, antique bureau between the darkly curtained windows; the chamber was In semi-gloom. But scarcely! had I passed Bryan, who stopped to close the door with the same adroit alienee with which he had accom-i pllshed Us opening, than a stealthily moving white figure defined itself, I* suing, apparently from a massive carved wardrobe, which stood against the wall opposite the huge, tester** *ed. - The spectacle waa at least arresting. 1 know I halted abruptly as if stricken all at once with total paralysis. For a heart-beat or two I think I stopped breathing. But my eyes meanwhile were strained fixedly upon the apparition, and seeing it pass with almost Incredible swiftness beneath the one dim light above the bureau, I recognized Cameron. V :. At the same room ent the room was flooded with a sudden glare. Bryan too, had^ seen^and. iiadaigw electrics. Simultaneously be flashed past me and was at his patient's side. \"What does this mean?\" I heard htm aay. \"What did you want? Can't I truat you alone for ten minutes? I told you, Cameron, that you must not leave your bed unless I am with you.\" I saw Cameron cower under the upbraiding. In his eyes I read terror, and all my sympathy was aroused on tbis instant. Bryan might be carrying out Dr. Massey's orders, but he appeared to me unnecessarily harsh. \"What were you doing?\" he insisted; and then I saw him roughly grasp his patient's arm, and hold It up, revealing a tightly clenched band. \"Mr. Bryan!\" I cried in remonstrance. \"Gently, gently. Remember���������\" But tbe nurse paid small heed to me. He was busy opening the doubled fist. I stood now where I could look Cameron squarely in the face, but my gaze was elsewhere. It was bis left band over which Bryan was engaged, and from his wrist to his elbow the sleeve of his white night robe bad been pushed back, exposing a sinewy forearm, marked precisely as Bryan had described it. - Scrutinlzingly I bent forward. The tattooing was indisputable, and, as the nurse had said, it bore no evidence of being recent work. Up to that moment I had hoped against hope that in some way or other a misconception bad occurred. I had hoped, I suppose, for the perform* ance of some miracle which would exonerate this man. And now that hope was obliterated by those blue-pricked letters D. M. N. beneath an almost exact facsimile of the black smudge which had taken the place of signature on each of the three threatening letters���������the black smudge, of which Cameron, wearing it then indelibly upon the cuticle, had dared to feign utter ignorance. And yet, I asked myself once more, how was it that I had never noticed it before? Again and again I had seen Ty T would have \"Been perplexed \"by those three unfitting initials. \"There, now!\" Bryan was saying. \"Back to bed with you, Cameron. What did you want this letter for, anyway? If it was necessary for you to have it, couldn't I have got it for you?\" \"Give It back to me!\" Cameron was pleading, piteously. \"Give it back to me! It is a private matter. Give it back to me, or destroy it before my eyes. Burn it, here, before me.\" \"Let me have it, Mr. Bryan,\" I asked, and turning to the unhappy gentleman I said: \"You'll trust me, won't you, Cameron? I'll destroy it, unread, it you wish it.\" \"No, no no,\" he objected, earnestly. ^Oive it back to me.\" But even as he demanded It, Bryan put It in my hands; and spreading It out���������for it had been crumpled to a pellet in the Invalid's clutch���������I waa about to humor him, when the superscription caught my eye and held it The envelope bore the name and address: \"Donald McNish, Taylor'a Hotel, Nsw York City, U. S. A.\" j..$M*4������3M-^4-������^Mfr������J4<*p^44*^M-fr.JM*444������i������{4������}M$4^ CHAPTER XXIV. Another Problem Crops Up. fhere are, I dare aay, those who will not hesitate to charge me with an unpardonable lack of perception. \"Even from your own telling,\" they will probably declare, \"we realized from the first that the creature you discovered at two in the morning, supporting him- aelf by means of a Fifth avenue area railing, was not Robert Cameron, but his physical counterpart, and a not ���������ery deceptive counterpart at that.\" I shall not dispute the justice of the criticism. As I look back at It all now, I sometimes wonder, myself, how I could have been so blind, so credulous. .And yet there is something to be said on the other side, too. An able advocate, I believe, might make out a fairly strong case for me if I were disposed to defend myself; which, as it happens, I am not, since the verdict can make no possible difference either to you or to me, and would only delay the culmination of our narrative. Nevertheless I must tell that for some minutes after reading- the letter which had bo opportunely fallen into my bands I stood at the foot of the bed, and in the glare of the blazing electrics, studied with keenest scrutiny the face which had so deceived me. ���������-,:-.;��������� ' In general contour and Individual feature the likeness to Cameron was monstrous in its fidelity. The same rugged power, inherited from Scottish forbears, was traceable in every lineament. But there the similarity ended. The face I gazed upon lacked Illumination. Character, so strongly indicated in the other, was from this totally absent. ; In its place waa an admixture of craft and brutality, so palpable, now -r-eo clearly, unmistakably evident��������� that I marvelled at my former dew- trton. .��������� ��������� :..;*���������:������������������. ���������;.'���������.' It was the newspaper puzzle picture over again. Having at length diacov- ered the hidden rabbit I could sea nothing else whatever. It dominated the drawing. It fairly aprang at me from out the printed page. There was still another feature of the revelation, however, which held a contrasting pathos. Tha latter which carried conviction beyond all possible dispute was from Donald McNlsh's aged mother. And while it tempered In a measure the harshness of my judgment against the son, It waa of tragic import, In that it waa one potent piece of evidence in bla undoing, severing the last link in the chain Which connected his identity with that of the shamefully maligned Cameron- fvalyu wept over this latter, and I am not sure but that ray own sight |WW-hazyr too,^as-I-read thOHfondr quaintly couched phrases of endearment, penned half a year back in Dundee, by this God-fearing old Hootch* woman, to. that infamous, blood-stained reprobate, who, to her, waa still bar \"aln bonnie bairn.\" ; It ail came out, eventually, that Ho- Nlsh had traveled tbe world over to the sixteen years Intervening since the coolie massacre, employing a score or more pf aliases and so studiously avoiding the name by which he had then been known, as to have almost forgotten It, probably, blmaelf, until, yielding to tbe call of home, he bad at |aome early period of the last twelve- Imonth returned for a brief visit to bla Inatlve town and bla septuagenarUn mother. 1 It waa then, moat likely, that he jgeve to her the address of the New York hotel.

But at the time, there was no one who thought of it.

Co., Ltd. ��������� i.OO - One Year Address by Dr. McKim������\"Why We Are Protestants\" of men to be ������f equal authority with the written Word of God, she really exalts tradition above the Word, by making that the rule of interpretation. The False Decretals Let me give you an example to show how far the traditions to which the Church of Rome appeals are to be depended on. In the ninth century a tremendous forgery arose, under the name of the Isidorian decretals, consisting of nearly one hundred letters, written in the names of earlier bishops of Borne, together with certain spurious writings of other church dignitaries, and acts of hitherto unknown councils. These documents were eagerly seized upon by Nicholas I., who was Pope at that time, and by him and his successors, were made the instrument of completely revolutionizing the constitution of the church, and developing the papal power, from a mere primacy, into an absolute ecclesiastical despotism. For centuries these false decretals were accepted as genuine; but for over three hundred years their true character has been known, and they have, been on all hands admitted to be a forgery, and a very clumsy forgery at that Even the most extreme partisans of Rome now admit this,���������indeed, the popes themselves have admitted it, yet the radical changes which they were the instruments of introducing, remain. ' Now, one cannot help asking, What dependence is to be placed on the traditions which the Church of Rome professes to haye preserved since the time of the apostles, if she thus accepted for' 1 so many centuries this gross forgery, and made it the support and foundation of doetrines and usages she has insisted on as vital to the true constitution of the church? And this is only one of numerous examples in which the infallible Church of Rome has accepted and magnified the authority of documents which have subsequently been proved and admitted to be forgeries! But if she is thus incapable of distinguishing the true from the false in the writings and documents of her own bishops and synods, how are we to trust her when she presents us with alleged traditions handed down from the age Of the apostles?; And how can we do otherwise than protest against her impiety when we see the plainest declarations of the Sacred Scriptures made void by her pretended traditions? In our Saviour's time the Pharisees appealed to tradition, but our Lord made his appeal ever to the Scriptures. He changed them with transgressing the commandments of God by their traditions. His words to them are most applicable today to the Church of Rome: \"Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.\" Matt. 15:6. \"In vain ' they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.\" Verse 9. He said to the Jews, \"Search the Scriptures.\" He never said, Search your traditions. There are \"the words, and there is the authority, of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ against j the method which the Church of Rome' adopts in asking us to accept her traditions as the basis of doctrine. Jtpman Catholic Interpretation of Scripture But again, the Roman Catholic hierarchy teaches that the Bible is to he accepted only according to the sense which the church puts upon it. Now, perhaps you would like to have a simple or two of the interpretations of this infallible church. Well, here is one of many that might be given. What do you suppose is the chief passage relied upon to establish the dogma of papal in- ' fallibility? Here it is in our Lord's words to St. Peter: \"Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren\" Luke 22: 31-32. This, we are told by Romanist interpreters since Pope Agatho, A.JX 680, contains the grant of special privilege to the bishops of Rome as suc- nclSSorTbf S������V^ of the eighteen Fathers who comment upon this passage gives any hint of such an interpretation! I give another precious example of infallible interpretation. You know the popes have claimed power to rule the nations, and how 'do you sup- 0 pose this is proved fronpHoly Scripture ? How ? Just listen, listen and tremble; it is very simple. St. Peter walked on the sea! Q. E. LY (quod erat demonstrandum!) (Applause.) This is conclusive evidence that the successors of St. Peter are entitled to rule the nations! Do you hot see it? If you do not, you must be very dull. It was declared by Pope Innocent III. in a letter addressed to the patriarch of Constantinople, in which he claimed that \"Christ had committed the government of the whole world to the popes.\" Such interpretations as these, proceeding from the supposed infallible popes,���������in conflict with common sense, in conflict with the laws of sound exegesis, in conflict with the exposition given by the Fathers of the church,���������may serve to show how deceitfully the Church of Rome deals with Holy Scripture. Dr. Preston's Charges A famous controversialist of the Church of Rome, some years ago, was the vicar-general Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Preston. He said that private interpretation,���������that terrible old thing, you know, private judgment,���������'' private interpretation has virtually declared the Bible to be of straw.'T But I say that papal and Roman interpretation has actually used the Bible as a nose of wax, to,be pressed into whatever shape the exigencies of their case may require. Again: Dr. Preston says: \"Protestantism has torn the Bible to pieces.\" Think of it, ye Protestants, and repent of your sins! However, even that is not so bad as burning it, is it? (Applause.) For the leaves of the torn Bible, borne by the winds of heaven over the earth, may carry the message of life and immortality to mankind; -���������the single verse, \"God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,\" once led a poor Hindu out of his heathen darkness into light;��������� but, when it is burned, its power to bless is gone, ���������for men cannot read its message in its ashes,��������� and the only voice it then has is anathema against (Continued from Page 2) the sacreligious hand that committed it to the fire. Roman Doctrines Hot in tbe Bible Let me repeat, then, with emphasis: If any man asks why we are Protestants, I answer, Because the doctrines of the Church of Rome which we are called upon to accept as necessary to salvation cannot be found in the, Bible. Do you think that is a large order to prove? Well, I shall not attempt to prove it; but I shall just hide myself behind the opinion of a great cardinal. You know that is a very safe place to be. The late Cardinal. Wiseman, in writing about the way in which Romanists are sometimes converted, or perverted, as he would say, to Protestantism, said this: \"The history, in every case is simply this, that the individual, by some chance or other . . . became possessed of the Word of God, of the1 Bible; that he perused this book; that he could not find in it transubstantiation or aurieular confession, that he could not discover in it one word of purgatory, or of worshipping images. He perhaps goes to the priest, and tells him that he cannot find these doctrines in the Bible; his priest argues with him, and endeavors to convince him that he should shut up the book that is leading him. astray; he perseveres, he abandons the communion of the Church of Rome, . . . and becomes a Protestant- Now, in all this the man was a Protestant from the beginning; he started withthe principle that whatever is not in that hook cannot be true religion, or an article of faith; and that is the principle of Protestantism. He took Protestantism, therefore, for granted, before he began to examine the Catholic doctrine. He set put with the supposition that whatever is not in the Bible is no part of God's truth; he does not find certain things in the Bible, and concludes that, therefore, the religion that holds these is hot the true religion of Christ.\"���������\"Lectures on the Principal Doctrines and Practices of the Catholic Church,\" Baltimore, 1846, page 16. The man who wrote these words was an eminent prince of the church,���������a prince who, if he were here, the Boston Pilot would tell you was entitled to precedence over our senators, over, our representatives, over the judges of the Supreme Court, over the Vice-President 0 f the United States, over the foreign ambassadors, over everybody on the face of this big continent except the President; and if a ship bearing him should come into port, it should be welcomed by salvos of artillery suitable to the heir apparent to the throne! (This was said, not of a dead cardinal, but of a living cardinal. I think his name is O'Connell.) (Applause.) . . ' ��������� Here, then, is a distinct acknowledgment by an eminent prince of' the church, a noted controversialist, that neither transubstantiation, nor auricular confession, nor pugatory, nor worshipping of images is found in the Bible. We agree ex animo with this illustrious representative of Rome. The same is true of all the peculiar doctrines of that church. Rome's Teachings Contrary to (Scripture and to the Fathers Once more I say, We are Protestants because the peculiar doctrines of the Church of Rome are contrary to Holy Scripture, contrary to the teachings of the Fathers of the church. We are Protestants because we refuse to believe the Virgin Mary more merciful than Jesus Christ; or that she is our mediator with God; or that she is the mother of God; or that she was born without sin. We are Protestants because the doctrine of the mass has nb foundation in Holy Scripture; and I might add, no manner or sort of affiliation or association or connection with the great American national Thanksgiving festival- (Long continued applause.) We are Protestants because the invocation of saints has no foundation in Holy Scripture; because the power ot the priest to sit in i^e tribunal of penance and pronounce judicialabsolution W in Scripture; because the doctrine of papal infallibility finds no support either in the Bil/Ie, or in the primitive Fathers of the church. As to Certainty of Troth But then, O my friends, it is alleged that there is no agreement among Protestants as to the doctrines contained in the Bible; and that this results from the principle of private judgment, which produces endless divisions and differences among them; and then it is declared triumphantly that God is not the author of confusion, and therefore God cannot be the author of Protestantism! Q. B. D. (I like these Q. E. D.'s.) One of the arguments most earnestly pressed in the recent Misison in this city was that there nan be no certainty of truth in a Protestant church,'tint certainty can be found only in an infallible church, speaking to the world through an infallible head. = But then, is the Roman Catholic Church a household free from differences and divisions and conflicts? That's an interesting question, is it not? Are its interpretations of Scripture consistent and harmonious. Take, for example, the controversy about predestination, which Dr. Preston referred to in sush a manner as to leave his audience to suppose that it was one of the dire results of the Reformation. He traced the genesis of this doetrine to reformed theology, and said, \"So came the theory of predestination. \" What a learned man he must have been! (Laughter and applause.) (To be Continued) THE INSUFFICIENCY OF HUMAN TESTIMONY Nothing which is properly theological can be known by us from any other source than from the Word of God. If' for the resolution of so arduous a question the clearest and most consistent testimonies could be produced from all the doctors of every age, and nothing could be produced from Scripture, of a truth they would have no weight whatever.���������Theophanes Procopo- wicz, Archbishop of Noyogorod, 1722. FORESTRY There were eight forest survey par-, ties engaged'in demarking forest and agricultural lands in the iar'west last summer, and their reports which <~ will appear in 'the annual 'report of (, the Director vof Forestry,' Ottawa, contain accounts of actual adventures which rival the most fictitious. The total area examined last summer was about 11,000,000 acres, some on the, , rough slopes of the Rockies, some,in ' the rocky areas of Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, and some in the low lying and muskeg region of northern AI- ��������� berta. Very little land was found fit for agriculture in these .regions, and most of it is recommended as forest reserves. The present area of the Dominion Forest Reserve is 23,017,504 acres, or nearly 36,000 square miles. If all present recommendations for, reserves are approved by Act of Parliament the area will be doubled. In comparison, the National Forests of. the United States cover an area of 257,855 square miles, yet Canada is larger than the United States and ' contains larger land areas fit only for tree growth.
