BOOK Or EPuESIANS Oonsecraton meet

In the book of Ephesians we find all the
main doctrines of evangelical orthodoxy

Spirit and the indwellins Christ. Ana
then as il having made a resume of the
story of salvation for the purpose of
showing us what is to be expected OF us,
the writer brings us up to the climax OF
this fourth chapter. that We walk worthy
of the vocation wherewlth We are called.
And there suddenly, in mean contrast to
the grand picture of Gods part In the re-
demption of man, stands out mans life
as it is, as we see 1t in our own Shr1Veled
souls. All this for us, this wonderful
plan of salvation, this opportunity for
higher life. and how have we improved
it? Paul flashes the searchlight of his
words into our lives, and behold! we find
the church, the blessed church of which
we are part-wh.c oh he has llkened to the
most sacred and beautiful earthly rela.
ton, that of husband and wife-that
church is filled with soul sickness and
strife! Listen to the searching words, as

Cigarette Smoking in Canada.
From the Westminster Gazette

From the Westminster Gazette.
The effect Of the new law on cigarette
smoking by boys is shown in the Cana
dian trade rsturns. Although $40, 600, 600
cigarett as were smoked in Canada during
the year. most of them being made in the
Dominion, the number OF cigarettes
smoked shows a decline Of thirty millions
on the figures for the preceding twelve
months. The results are more striking
when 1t is remembered that the act was
in force for only eight months Of the
wear. It forb,ds the sale or gift Of cigar
cites or cigarette material to boys of six
teen or less under penalties Of from $40
to 500

Of a retiring allowance system in such
colleges and universities as may become
eligible to its benefits. The professor in
such an institution receives his retired
pay through his college just as he re-

as pension the half of the retiring sal

creasing, as is shown by the following

Fifteen Men in National Control.

After naming the general education
Gambler proceeds: ut will be noted that
every conceivable thing which is in any
wise related to education, from opening
kitchen to establishing a university,
and its power to connect itself with the
work of every sort of educational plant
or enterprise conceivable will be especial
ly observed. The power to project it's
influence over other corporations is at
once the greatest and most dangerous
power ii has.
But it is not safe for the educational
institutions of the country to be under
the virtual dominion Of fifteen men. how
ever pure they may imagine their inten-
tons to be. even though their purposes
are in fact as they themselves fancy. 1t Is
not question OF motives. but a question
of whether it is good for the country to
have it's educational work determined by
board of fifteen men, responsible to no
authority. civil or ecclesiastical. in the
land
Il is proposed by those who represent
Mr.. Rockefeller. says Bishop Gambler.
I'D There is to be "a chain Of board SUD-
ported colleges stretching across the con-
tinent.' ca That these board-supporte ed
colleges will force others to close their
DOORS In other words, the general edu-
cation board proposes to both kill and
make alive, to make and unmake colleges
at WILL" He quotes the statement of the
New York Journal of Commerce that LAS a
mechanism for controlling academic opin-
ion there has, perhaps, never been any
thing in the history of education that
would compare with the board system of
subsidizing learning Then the bishop
declares: Our colleges must be some
thing more than the Gagged birds Of the
general education board, fed by its hand
and made to sing at it's bidding. Ameri-
can education cannot be safely Entrusted
to fifteen men without any responsibility
to the people whose education they as
sumo to supervise"
