It was all caused by reason of the names of the Canadians being mixed up with other nationalities.. The scores:

The Holy Spirit Waiting.

The spirits sensitiveness to the
worldliness and inconsistencies of
church members is the reason for
the spiritual impotency of so many
churches to-day. If an inhabitant of
Mars were to come to earth, and
could understand. our sermons and
prayer-meeting utterances, he would
inevitably gather the impression that
the Holy Spirit, about whom he
heard expressed longings and de-
sires, lived on some planet farther
away than Mars, and could only be
persuaded to come to earth at rare
intervals. and after almost endless
petitioning. Why, we talk about the
Holy Spirit and His coming into our
churches very much as the children
who have begun to lose faith In Him
talk about Santa Claus. Some of us
haven't as much faith that our pray
ers for a spiritual revival will be
answered as the ragged boy has that
he will get the skates or velocipede
for which he wrote a letter to Santa
Claus.
But what are the facts on which
our hope should be based? That the
Spirit is not on some remote planet
but has been sent into the world for
the precise object of operating
through the church. The Spirit Is
kept out of his own so long as there
is not a spiritual revival in the
church We have only to lift a fin-
ger. breathe wish, and He is at our
command DIR. Cowan.

young man, in the very flower
of his days, once told the writer the
following story, in answer to a ques-
ton as to why he was not spending
his life for God and others.
Il was once" he said, "as you
are, a Christian worker, and service
for God was a great delight. For
many years / gave of my best, and
was happy in giving. until one day
God called me to launch out in the
deep'-to forsake all and follow Him
fully. But" he continued slowly, II
thought of my wife and two children,
of my comfortable home, of my pay
ing business, of all l valued in the
homeland, and l looked up to God,
and said No. That's three years
ago." he said, land now"
"Now,"'I echoed quickly, "what?"
"Oh, he replied with a mirthless
laugh, whats the good of speaking
about these things? / don't know
why you should have asked me that
question; must CO." And he arose
and reached out for his hat
But" answered breathlessly,
laying my hand upon his arm, you
care still. don't you?"
For moment he lifted his dark
eye to mine, and never shall l forget
his look of remorse. "Care!" he re-
peated hoarsely; whats the good
of caring now? I'm so involved in
business and with worldly men that
/ hardly dare call my soul my own.
Both my wife and have backslidden,
and never even go to church; and
as for helping others-look, I've lost
my chance"

The Judgment of God.

God will give you the thing for
which you faithfully work-health,
prosperity, learning, or any other
OF His gifts. What you SOW that you
shall reap. But 1t does not follow
that you Will be happy man or a
good man or man worthy of all
respect and love. For these gifts of
the spirit you must have your special
preparation. God grants us our re-
quest, even when we pray for the
wrong things, for hard work is
strenuous prayer But 1t does not
follow that a man shall be satisfied
with the result of his own prayer.
With the splendid physique of an
athlete he may be an ignorant fell
low, out of place among cultivated
people, embarrassed good for moth
ing outside of athletic contests. He
may be many times a millionaire, and
yet a man of so few resources that
life means little more to him than
a good dinner and the ticker of the
stock market. He may be famous
scientist and have classified SUI
perb collection, and yet the man OF
him so withered and sapless that, as
Emerson said, he is only fit to be put
in some bottle and added to his own
collection of snakes and beetles.
The judgment of God is strikingly
in evidence. Men have prayed, or
worked, just as you wish to state it,
merely for animal health or a mil
lion of money or the details of some
science, merely for them and nothing
more. And God has given them their
request-and sent leanness into their
soul
The severest judgment of God is
letting people become just what they
want to be-ignorant or grasping or
frivolous or even vicious. They close
their hearts to all noble. all generous,
all broadening influences; they have
no interest in the religious or social
life of the day; they have neither the
scholars love of truth nor the re-
formers enthusiasm for humanity;
they are living merely for money or
pleasure or personal culture. They
are narrow, self-centred, ignorant,
prejudiced. unamiable men and wo-
men. And what they SOW they reap
social pleasures, good investments,
cultivated taste in art and music
God grants their requests-and sends
leanness into their soul.-George D.

Beer or Boys - At Least $4,000
Young Men Every Year Take
the Dreadful Path Leading to

the Dreadful Path Leading to
All the Horrors of Drink.
The president of the Wheaton Col.
lege asks: "who are these children
who dwell in squalid and infected
homes, who live In rags, who have
no place to play and no fitting food
to eat?"
They are the children of the sa-
loon traffic. They are to be beg
CARED by 1t as long as It continues.
We are establishing homes
for boys in all our great cities. They
are very costly. the maintenance OF
them requires large sums of money
annually. Every one knows that
these homes are needed because par
ents drink up their earnings in liq-
uor shops. Every one who has stud
led the situation knows that the sup
ply of homes can never overtake the
demand The taps are flowing free,
the distilleries, breweries, wholesale
houses all are sending their deadly
grist day by day to the mill.
At least $4,000 boys every year
take the dreadful path leading to
all the horrors of the drink curse.
They may be seventeen years old or
twenty-five years old.
Many of them are boys OF fathers
who are disgraced and ashamed, they
are sons of mothers whose hearts
break. Each industrious young man,
capable and ambitious, earning 5000
per year, Is working capital worth
100000 So the liquor traffic that
destroys $4,000 boys, youths, young
men who might earn now or by and
bye $500 per year, really destroys
$500, 100000 of the best capital of
this landl This half billion lost by
drink must be added to the billion
and half of money wasted yearly
for liquor. Each Industrious, sober,
ambitious young man is worth more
to the higher Industrial interests of
the land than all the distilleries and
breweries and liquor sbopsl A man
is more precious to God and to the
world. actually or prospectively, than
fine gold. Destroy factories, shops,
banks, business houses and sober, in
