UP TO US NOW.

There is a steady, Persistent and
growing movement sweeping over the
country for the improvement of roads.
You can hardly pick up q paper from
any section of the country but what
you will find the question agitated
in its columns.
1t is a good sign, and speaks we'll
for the future of the Country as a
whole.
But what of this community?
What are we going to do toward
improving our own roads?
No one else is going to answer
this question for us. 1t 10 clearly up
to our own people.
If we want good roads we must
make them ourselves. Other people
in other communities will not do it
for us.
We suggest that the Development
League take up this qusetion this
winter and thrash 1t out to q logical
conclusion, and let the conclusion
produce results.
There is plenty of brains i'm this
community to settle this question i'm
a manner highly satisfactory to every,
one.
Let's start them to working.

SHOULD MINISTER'S SPECULATE

The financial troubles OF the Rev.
Newell Dwight Hillis of New York
nave brought to the fore the question,
should MINISTERS Speculate?
Unquestionably a minister of the
& spell has as much right to invest
ans means with a view toa p~ecuniary
4a.n as has amy other Citizen. He
IS a man as we'll as a minister, and
as rights as a citizen do not differ
IN amy sense rom those of amy other
cIt4zen. i:@tY{a a,
But the sordid world of to-day has
learned to expect something higher
aAd nobler from the mem Iof; God
Than a scramble in the commercial
void Tor those riches which often
uney publicly condemn.
40 AS ii Wound seem that when a
m.u.ster desoelds from the pinnacle
OF as puruty nda rubs elbows with
uAo ANhlOW ulOu al OAC SdAiiSsAh ShohSS
ne is DIunting the inner edge of his
AIanDCod and sacIiliclng the superior
w4sdom with which God has endowed
hlu Tor uhe purpose OF saving the
sous vi men.
We listen to his sermons with the
expectation of learning of the higher
thoughts and the brighter side of life;
We expect him TO lead US in the
patn Oh recGtude and pave the way
TO a brighter Lille yet to come; we
look upon him as our guide, our
mentor, as the one male being i'll all
the world who is endowed by the
Creator with the wisdom and the
patience to lead us i'm manhood as
the mother led US in our childhood
days.
And if we see him side by side with
us in our mad scramble for gold 1t
lis more than possible We may conle
to consider his teachings as coming
more from the lip than from the
heart.
The minister is entitled to a sal,
airy commensurate with his position
and the financial means of bis con,
gregation.
He should never be confronted with
the necessity of employing outside
methods OF keeping the wolf from the
door.
He should continue to be min
ister-the man of God.
