Jesus Identification With Man.

A Christian has no right to luxury that
isolates him from his fellowmen. Why is it
not good thing for man 10 spend six
months in Europe and the other six at
home, giving generously all the time to
charity and doing many good deeds in TINT
portion Of one year when he is supposed to
he at work? Simply because such pro-
gram cuts him of from the vast majority 0!
his fellow beings. Harm attaches to every
luxury which makes one less sensitive to
the tremendous struggle that is going on
all about us-a struggle often not for deli
caces for the table or for an occasional trip
abroad. but II struggle for daily bread and
for shelter by night. Whether or not Jesus
owned property, He identified himself to
the utsermost with the average man and the
average mans problems.

The Anti-Rut Agitation.

: Bad roads constitute the greatest
drawback to rural life, and for the
lack of good roads the farmers suffer
more than any other class.
In every one of the leading States
the L. A. W. will introduce good
roads bills next winter, and the vari-
Gus divisions are preparing for on ace

The best road for the farmer, all
things being considered, is solid,

be only single track, but having
firm ehrth road on one or both sides.
When the traffic is not very extern
sive the purposes of good roads are
better served by narrow tracks than
wide ones, while many of the objec-
tionable features of wide tracks are
removed, the initial cost of construc.

generally fed by their owners, very
few have died of starvation. We
