Church Debts.

One of the lessons the orthodox
church might learn from the Christian
Scientists is that of not running in debt
for buildings. The church debt is
frowned upon in the Scientist scheme,
while it appears to form an integral
part of the economy of some orthodox
denominations.
Church buildings are usually con-
structed upon promises to pay which
are extracted from members and friends
of the society under stress of great ex-
element. They are, therefore, subject
to more than ordinary discount. Hav-
ing secured the subscription, it is quite
customary for the society to make plans
for building to cost more than the
face value of the subscription. The re-
suit is church debt which hangs like
a pail over the organization, sapping
in most instances it's spiritual vitality
and giving to the "payers' an ex-
traneous Importance. Indeed, so long
as the debt exists the "prayers' arc
at such discount that they usually
feel as tho they were engaged in bur-
glarious employment when they break
into, meeting. They gradually disap-
pear, leaving the social lions and the
liberal givers in command. The preacher
must preach to them or not at all.
The liberal giver is customarily very
touchy on any illusions to the duty of
presenting himself "a living sacrifice
Hasn't he already presented his check
book? Isn't the preacher his employee,
and is it to be borne that the hired
man shall make conditions for the en-
ployer? If the preacher expects to &C.
complish such coup he would better
first organize union. He cannot do
it alone
Occasionally a strong man appears,
even in such church, and he demands
spiritual life. In, other words, he Or
ganizes revival of religion. When he
is thru with it he finds that his church,
instead of having increased, has de-
creased in membership. 49,.
Rev. G.. Campbell Morgan alluded to
this dilemma of the church in his New
York address the other day and added:
IL would rather have 10 men caught
by the divine passion. and compassion
than 1000 diligent church members fool
ing with heaven and frivoling with
hell.' Evidently the debt on Dr. Nor
gan's church has been paid.

An Export Basis.

Yesterday the price Of wheat in Liv-
erpool was equal to 961A cents in our
money at one time, while September
wheat in Chicago at the same moment
was 80 cents. This difference of 16h
cents put the markets upon an export
basis. Minneapolis, the consuming
point for wheat, was higher by about
cents than Chicago. The markets are
shifting about from day to day, and
thru all the fluctuations there may be
seen the certain working out of an ex-
port figure. What the figure will be
no one can say, nor is it a matter Of
price so much as a matter, of relative
price. We have wheat to sell this year
over and above our home requirements.
Above the line, in the Canadian
northwest, big crop is coming along,
and is even now being harvested in
many places. Estimates of the produc-
ton in Manitoba and the Northwest
Territories this year have ranged as
high as l00,0OO,0OO bushels. These are
the expectations of railroad and eleva-
tor men, who are always inclined to be
trife optimistic. If we cut the round
figures down to S5,O00,000 or 90,O00,000
bushels it will still be a big lot of
wheat. This wheat will afford large
surplus over Canadian milling and home
begins to move the competition in the
foreign markets will have to be met.
This is a proposition that interests the
grain trade and the American millers
directly, but in it's final effect it bears
upon the American farmer.
It is unlikely that any such discus
sion as was raised last year about the
free admission of Canadian wheat to
American markets will be heard again
this season. If the American millers
can get enough wheat on the American
side and do business with it, they will
not care for the Canadian product.
Whether milling in bond or under draw
back regulation will be done at all it
is impossible to say, but the probabili-
ties are that it will not. The wheat on
the American side Of the line this year
is of good quality and there is plenty
of it. r. g..
It seems, however, that this is the
great question in the wheat trade that
must come to the front again sooner
or later. If we assume the total crop
of Minnesota, North and South Dakota
this year to be between 175,000,000 and
100000 bushels, and that of the
Canadian northwest to be 85,0O0,000 to
80 100000, we can see that the relative
Importance of the northern wheat is
such that it is material factor in the
export competition. AS the years paSs
the proportion Of the total will shift
more and more to the Canadian side. =
While it is probable that little will
be heard Of the admission of Canadian
wheat for the use of American mills
this year, and perhaps not for several
years to come, we cannot but believe
that this great question is bound to
come up again.

farther, to that unsubstantial bugaboo-

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH.
Just Breathe HyOmei Four Times a
Day and be Cured.

If a few years ago someone had
said you can cure catarrh by
breathing air charged with a heal
ing balsam, the idea would have
been ridiculed, and it remained
for that eminent investigator, R.
I. Booth, to discover in Hyomei
this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous cures of catarrh, and
is today recognized by leading
members of the medical profession
as the only advertised remedy that
can be relied upon to do just what
it claims. The complete outfit Of
Hyomei costs $1.00, and consists
of an inhaler, a medicine dropper,
and a bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the
inhaler fol a few minutes four
times a day, and it will cure the
worst case of catarrh. 1t soothes
and heals the mucous membrane
of the air passages, prevents irri.
tation and effects complete anc
lasting cure.
In BrookhaYen there are scores
of we'll known people who have
been cured of catarrh By Hyomei
If it does not cure you, Price
Drug Co. will return the money
you pay for Hyomei. This is The
strongest evidence that can bt
offered as to their faith in tht
remedy.
