MOUNTAINEERS' PARADISE
Magnificent Canadian Peaks That

Canada's mountain country extends
from the foothills of the Rockies east to
the Pacific coast west roughly, some 500
miles. and from the forty-ninth parallel
to as far north as man can win by
land, says Scribner's Magazine The
greater area of this colntry is strictly

hitherto unknown save to trappers, hunt

have been discovered that rival the Swiss

Our minds instinctively recall the Mas

prayers to God, His tears, His agony, His

Is that the Master who had Himself
passed through such trying and bitter
experiences, and is now In heavenly glory
and power, will surely succor all His true
followers, even though He may allow
them to have Gethsemane experiences and
sufferings of the adversary.

Jesus was not imperfect at any time in
the sense of being sinful, however. He
was holy, harmless, undefiled and sep

of another kind. He had entered into a
covenant of sacrifice--to prove Himself
loyal to the Fathers will, even unto
death. He had the promise of perfection
on the highest plane-the divine nature

LETTERS TO EDITOR
New Names in Canal Zone

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Mondays dispatches tell of a proposal
by Representative Finley of South Caro-
lima to rename the famous Culebra cut on
the Panama canal in honor of Col David
votion to duty ON the canal work resulted
in the contraction of fatal malady. 1t
is stated that the proposal meets with
the hearty approval of President wilson.
This is both patriotic and progressive.
The entire nomenclature of the canal
should be changed to the language of its
builders, should be Englished, as was
Porto Rico by enactment
With the exception of Tiger Hill. EN-
pire and Monkey Hill, the AZ miles from
Panama to Colon fairly bristle with names
that to the tongue trained only in Mother
English constitute a maze of linguistic
jugglery that those unacquainted with
Latin or Spanish should approach with
much trepidation or avoid altogether.
Wrap your tongue properly around
these for example-Dos Hernandez
Palo Horqueta, Ahorca Lagarto. Vamos
Vamos, Tobernilla. Matachin. Juan
Crande. Las Cascodas-and when you are
fairly certain of your ground try them on
Spaniard, or someone who has mas
tered the tongue by contact with the ma
tives. If he happens to be friend or is
exceptionally mild hammered. no harm
will result.
There are any number of perfectly good
American names that would stand trans
planting to Panama, besides we have a
hefty and ever increasing crop of un-
honored heroes whose records are crying
aloud for recognition in good, plain United
States.
Out with the job that requires gram
ophone dictionary to talk about Let's
name the thing so that every son of a
Jones, Smith or Brown from Maine tt
California will know his own property
when he sees it. WILL H. WYNN.

might do unto Him, or by doubt respect

fulness. The Master fear was lest He
had failed to comply fully with the divine
requirements, and should thus not be ac-
counted worthy of resurrection.
The apostle says, "IIe was heard in re-
spect to the thing which He feared He
was delivered from the fear of death.
From that moment onward the Master
was the calmest of the calm, in all the
stress that followed. Doubtless the
Father assured Him that thus far He had
proven Himself faithful.
Leader and High Priest
On the basis of His own victory and ex-
altation Jesus is now ''the author Of eter-
nal salvation unto all that obey Him.
says the apostle-5:9
The first salvation is that of His
church, little flock, a royal priesthood.
These are to be saved TO the same glori-
GUS station which He Himself has at
tanned Nor can they reach that station
by any other road than that which He
travelled They must demonstrate the
same heart loyalty that He manifested
the same willingness to do the Father s
will and to sacrifice every other interest.
For these the great high priest appropri-
ates the merit of His sacrifice. as a COW
ering for all their unintentonal blemishes
and shortcomings Thus they may stand
complete in Him in the Fathers sight,
and by and by in the glorious first resur-
rection be made made actually perfect.
Additionally. He will be the author of
eternal salvation to is many of mankind
as will obey Him during His Messianic
reign. All who then refuse to obey Him
will be destroyed in the second death
