TROUBLE WITH
The CHURCHES
REV BATES SAYS N rs THE LACK
OF CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE
SYNOPSIS OF SUNDAY III
SERMON. g

At the Central Christian Church
yesterday the Rev. 2. E. Bates. pas.
tor. spoke on Every day Duties" us
ing as his texts Luke 1923 and 2 Tim.
i3:4. He said: This first Is from the
words Of Jesus as he was pressing
home to the hearts Of his hearers
most vital truths. And he said unto
an. II any man would come after me,
let him deny himself; and take mp his
cross daily, and follow me- First the
man who would be q follower OF Christ
must begin with self denial. Second.
he must bear the cross of Christ, as
one who stands for all that IS Christ.
iy in his every day life; then he shows
to the world that he has needed the
sayiors follow me-"
This second text now becomes all
important. The Apostle Paul stands
like Waterman surveying the hori-
zon looking toward the future church
life with strenuous anticipation.
Having form of goodness. bur
denying the power thereof" In the
verse preceding we find sufficient cause
for this condition. Lovers OF Self
the root of sin OF all the ages, with
lovers Of pleasure rather than lovers
of God" Then all summed up in this
second text: 1t is a picture of mas
uuerading Christians by name only
who wear the sleeps clothing, but
inwardly are ravening wolves. Ev'
cry church in Fairmont has It's share
of these pretenders of being what they
are not. 1t may be that they are con
scientlous pretenders deceiving them
selves. The greatest sin possibly is
seiftshness out of which grow all 9th
ers. We are very lenient when we
examine our own characters, but moi
so when we look at others. A mar
asked me few days ago the question
what is the matter with the church

of the negotiations is not expected be-
fore the meeting OF the diet when For
essn Minister Hayashi will make a state
ment outlining the governments policy
In this connection it is interesting 70
note that the government has practical
ly decided to subsidize the Oriental
Colonization Company, Former Prime
Minister Count Katsura is the principal
promoter Of the company which has a
capital OF ten millions, with authority to
issue debentures to the amount OF one
hundred million. The company will ad'
vance capital to emigrants to Korea to
be repaid yearly.
It is estimated that Korea offers room
for three million emigrants, The coloniE'
ing company win begin work is soon as
subsidy bill is passed by the diet
The government expects that this
scheme win divert emigration entirely
and indeed, it is not improbable shat
in consequence OF this opening up OF
Korea and other sections the govern
ment may decide to entirely stop the
emigration of laborers.

Japanese Government Will Stop
Laborers Going to.Canada'
METHODS OF LIMITATION
Japan viii Not Sacrifice Treaty Rights
Government Preparing Program OF
Administration Under Which Promise
of Limitation Can be Fulfilled.

TOXIC, Lee. 20.--Negotiations bet
tween canadian Minister OF Labor
Rudolphe L.emieux. and the Japanese
government, which have been delayed BY
a hitch over details, will be concluded
with the next few days. 1t is under
stood that Minister Lemieux has finally
agreed to accept Japan's assurance tha'
she will undertake the self-imposed task
Of limiting emigration to Canada. Inc
exact method OF limitation will be lett
entirely in the hands of the japanese
government.
II is stated that the hitch arose over
the desire of the Canadian government
to secure definite promise in writing
outlining the undertakings, This was
positively declined by Japan because 1t
would entail sacrifice OF treaty rights
Minister Lemieux also desired to secure
from the Japanese government HUG
giving the exact number of laborers that
the government proposed to allow to
emigrate to Canada. This was also
refused.
There is reason to believe therefore
that the situation is exactly as has prev
iously been stated by the Associated
Press. Canada will receive verbal as
surance identical with that given ths
United States, the japanese government
declining to surrender any right con
tanned in its treaty of alliance VIII
Great Britain whereby Canada became
party.
The japanese government is engaged II
preparing program Of administration
under which the promise OF Limitation
can be fulfilled. Minister Lemieux wi
probably leave for Canada this week

London.
