PREPARING FOR
new SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the &C.
c~ommodation Of the largely increas-
ing number Of settlers coming in to
occupy the agricultural districts Of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
Of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring %prophesied that
there would be as many as 1864 900
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year.
and there those who doubted
that the previous years figures Of
1920 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials Of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by ohicials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. AS great an
increase will be shown in the figures
Of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits Of the years work in Canadian
immigration will give upward Of q
total Of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when 1t 10 realized what is Offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
In the coast province Of British Co
lumbia. which is also bidding strong

class Of settler. the settler who
wishes to 60 into mixed farming or

PRINCIPLES OF GENERAL AVER
AGE.
We may not be able to attain per-
lection in this world. but unless we set
before ourselves a high ideal, we will
never make much progress.
The. fashion Of measuring ourselves
by ourselves and comparing ourselves
among ourselves, which was in vogue
when Paul wrote his letters to the Cor
inthians Is still followed. We can never
rise above our Ideals and while these
are modelled upon human characters
we shall arrive at perfect man
hood-never reach unto h
of the stature of the fullness of Christ"
Our food, u clothes, our style of
living. our business. u benevolence
are far too much shaped by comparing
and averaging our own lives with those
of other people.
Il do not belong to the church. but
1 pay my debts. which is more h
many of FOUR church members do"
Il know 1 put only a quarter into the
missionary collection. but Deacon
Jones, who is rich. did no better"
Il suppose l might call upon that
poor family and help them; but why
doesn't Mrs. Searls. who has more time
and money!: h measuring our
selves by ourselves" crops out every
where.
A farmer-a good. fair average
Christian man, had a hired hand to
whom he often talked of Christian life,
recognizing his own shortcomings but
consoling himself with the thought that
he compared iavorably upon the whole
with the rest of the people in the
church and hat in the great day of
reckoning he would be found to average
up very we'll with his fellow Christians.
Inc hired man listened to all this,
but said nothing: One day the farmer
sent him to build a fence about a pas
u r lot some distance from the house.
At the end of a week the mar reported
the fence finished. rs it good and
strong and will it turn the cattle all
right" asked his employer. 1T is a
good average fence" replied the man.
better than many we see. 1t might not
De able In every part to turn the cat
tie, but in some places / know it could
turn a whole drove of them. In some
places 1T may be a little weak, but in
others 1t Is doubly strong, and while
possibly a little bit low here and there.
other places are SO high that no animal
can Jump over. Taking it right through
1t will average up as a more than or
dinarily good fence"
But, man alive" said his employer.
"a fence that will not turn the cattle
and keep them from jumping over ey-
erywhere. Is good for nothing any
where!" 10y
II guess that's about right" said the
hlred man, but l had heard you saying
so much about averaging up things
with the Lord. that I thought perhaps
IL would be we'll to try you principles
OF general average with the fence
