him away as often as the church was open for services morning and evening. He was a person who was very fond of his Prayer Book and its forms of wor- ship. The disposition which seemed to bring him so constantly to church was not merely sense of duty but that real love of the sanctuary and its ser vices of which the Psalmist speaks: "Lord, have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honour dwelleth." Let us trust that his faithful attendance on Christ's earthly sanctuary has helped prepare him for admittance to the Heavenly; {; the tabernacle not made with hands eternal in the heavens.
 So this morning as we pay these last rites it is not altogether with feelings of regret. We deeply regret our own loss, but we are glad in the thought that this is sudden taking away for which he was not unprepared. The Masters promise is fulfilled to him in a way we thought not of before: ''In My Name" said Christ eff they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them"

Though a shoe string is very easy thing to tie, not one person in hundred knows how to do it. We all know how to tie bow and of what a bow consists-two loops and knot in the middle. Now suppose before you tighten your bow, and while you still have loop in each hand, you take the loop in your right hand and pass it through the knot in the middle. Now go your usual Nay and give both loops . good hard tug to tighten them, and there you are! No more united shoe strings; no more lost cars. When you want to unfasten it, take one of the tag ends in your hand, give agood pull and the thing is done-or rather undone. What lot of trifling worries can be sav- ed in this life-Good Housekeeping.

WHATSHALL WE TEACHg

We are told that some parts of the book we call the Bible are only fiction, that other portions are the work of imagination that we are not to under stand some of the texts in the language given, and by some lesrned teachers we are told that the Bible is not the word of God.
 Shall we teach our youth these doc- trines and give them no better founda- ton upon which to build character? Or, shall we teach them that "all scripture is given by inspiration" that 1t is the only safe and infallible rule by which their principles can be formed.t meet the snares of youth and the temptations of their manhood. That there is no other foundation upon which they can build structure which will withstand all the vicissitudes of life.
 Fellow teachers, it Is great work we are called upon to do for the Master. Gan we not in some way arrest the ap. parent tendency to undervalue and make light of the teachings of the Bible? "Each wave of influence set ir motion. extends and widens to the eter nal shore" TEACHER.

SUBMIT THE CASE.

The question of changing the name of the village of Canaan has been dis cussed and argued at greater length in these columns than was anticipated, We think it Is about time to call halt about time to submit the case to the jury of our townsmen, and of people who are either directly or indirectly in terested in the subject. We still have on hand unpublished letters and sug- gestions. We propose to publish them next week, and then rest the case. No harm has come of this discussion. The village of Canaan has received an un- limited amount of free advertising dur ing the past month. Newspapers far and near have taken hand in the de- bate, and prominent people in all parts of the country have been talking and writing about this village. This village has been brought into such prominence since Jan. 11th that perhaps it may no longer be necessary to change it's name in order to eliminate the confusion caused by multiplicity of Canaans After next week you may await the yer dict of the jury.
