and His cradle was a manger.
Think what He had come for. He
had come to bless, not to curse; to
lift up, not to cast down; to seek and
to save that which was lost; to give
sight to the blind; to open prison
doors and set captives free; to reveal
the Fathers love; to give rest to the
weary; to be blessing to the whole
world-and yet there was no room
for Him!

Text -"His name shall be
called Wonderful" I."-Isaiah o:16.
In olden times all names meant or
stood for something and this is still
the case among Indians, and all other
people who are living in primitive
way. There are 256 names for the
Lord Jesus Christ, and l suppose this
is because He was infinitely more
than any one name could express.
Of the many names given to Christ
it is my purpose at this time to briefly
be called Wonderful" Let us look in
to it somewhat and see whether He
was true to His name, which was
given Him by the prophet 500 years
before He was born. Does the name
fit His? It is such a name as He
ought to have.
Wonderful means something thatis is
transcendently beyond the common,
say that the Yellowstone Park, Mag
ara Falls and Grand Canyon of Colo
RADIO are wonderful because there is
nothing else like them.
His birth was wonderful, for no
other ever occurred that was like it.
It was wonderful in that He had but
one human parent, and so inherited
the nature of man and the nature of
princes and the King Of Kings, and
ye his birth was not looked forward
to in glad expectation, as the birth of
a prince usually is, in the royal pal
ace, and celebrated with marked ex-
preston of joy all over the country.
There was no room for Him at the
inn and He had to be born in stable,
and Graded in a manger, and yet an
gels proclaimed it with joy from the
sky, to few humble shepherds in
sheepskin coat, who were guarding
the fiocks by night. Mark how He
might have come, with all the pomp
and all the glory of the upper world.

Philosophy and Ethics

There is no such thing as vice, per
sc. What we 80 term is simply
a virtue carried to excess. This,
despite the fact that there are but
two primary virtues;the two primary
instincts, the preservation of the in
divi1ual and the perpetuation of the
species. On these two primary
instincts all morality Is based; from
them all immortality springs. As an
ancient philosopher has said: I'VE
live to love, and love to liye."
Plato evolved a philosophy which
attempted to suppress one of these
primary virtues because of the vice
it engendered. Xenophite evolved
a philosophy In which the other vir-
tue was suppressed for like reasons.
Neither school was practical. The
true philosophy of ethics can be
summed up in one word i.e., moder-
alton. And conversely, the only
immortality ia immoderation.
To show how the rule works;
The preservation of the individual
is the dominant instinct in man.
The preserving of his own life is
every mans first thot; it is the mo-
tive behind nearly all human action.
That he may live to-day a man
gathers food to feed the vital spark
within him; that he may live to-
morrow he labors and saves the
fruits of his labor. This saving is a
virtue because it provides for his
future preservation, and the pro-
ducts of labor are desirable prima-
rily as a means of future subsist-
ance. Just as soon as a man begins
to desire the products of labor
money, power. fame. etc., for other
reasons than his own preservation;
just as soon as he attempts to secure
more of them than is necessary for
his subsistence, he crosses the line
from virtue to vice; philosophically
speaking it is more vicious to hoard
greater wealth than one needs than
to strive for necessary subsistence
by legally dishonest methods. A
Scottish steel magnate gained great
notoriety for saying that he believ-
ed it sinful for man to die rich.
The idea was not original with him,
however, nor did he express it in its
truer and more radical form, that it
is sinful for man to BE rich. That
is one of the principal teachings of
the Nazarene carpenter, but it was
not original with Him on EARTH
even. Pagan philosophers had
known and taught this truth for
centuries before the birth of Christ,
that to acquire more of the products
of labor than is necessary for the
continuance of life is a breach of
the natural laws. an excess breed
ing and fostering greed, covetous-
ness, gluttony and kindred immoral
tiles.

When We Were Twelve
(Harvest Noon.)

(Fiarvest Noon)
A weather beaten farm house standing lone
On a round knob; poplar sentinel
Before the wide veranda's single stone,
MARRIED by God Thor in tempestuous spell;
Off to one side wild plum matched ravne
Where purple fruit hangs luscious in the sun,
And few crab-trees scattered in between
TO spice the sweets daring raid has won.
The farmers red-faced wife comes to the door
And with her bingham apron wipes the sweat
From off her brow; then looking back once more
At the long table for the reapers set
To see that ALPS in place, she cups her hands
And sends a usty call acrost the lots
To where the proud, important watch-boy stands
Ready to signal-dinners from the potts.
The harshly singing harvester is stilled,
The painting horses, freed of line and traw,
Trot barn-ward to manger brimming filled
With sweet new oats uncured, in the straw,
Their harvest spread The shockers cap their stook
Unloose their belts and hurry to the shed
Where tubs of water from the icy brook
Are set for them to wash ere breaking bread.
What hearty chatting passes as they battle
Their sun-scorched faces and great brawny arms,
fooled by great Master Labors mighty lathe
To strong beauty shaming Hector's charms.
The spicy smell of viands on the board
Set mouths a-water; soon they hasten in,
Scrambling for chairs before the gOodly hoard
And fall to it with unabashed din.
We lads look on from door and window ledge
Amazed to see them eat, and wondering when.
We too may break ravening hungers edge,
If there will be scrap left by the men!
And we look forward to the day when we
Shall drive reaper, bind, or walk the trail
Gaping the Stocks and VOW that we will be
Such workers as will make their prowess pale.
Such is harvest noon; gorging hour,
When grown up children close to Natures breast,
Relax from labor worthy man-hood's flower;
Key to life of never agging zest

Fragments

(From THE Brand In The Flesh')
The cold graw-dawning morning breaks,
Bleak as the prisoned soul
That, shiv'ring, tries to make once more whole
The shattered dreams from which it wakes.
Another day slow dragging passes by;
Dreams in the scudding dusk
Cast feeble rays of light, the husk
Of high Ambition, born to die
Unnurtured unfulflled, unsung;
Only this much it won
A moments recognition as it sprung
Untitled, to task all ready done;
A brief diversion for the gaping crowd
That he should try task beyond his powers:
Then the sow-dragging hours
To be lived thru, a beaten thing, and cowed.
Shame! There could be no shame
In life's wreckage; only tangled spars
OF hopes once reaching to the stars,
Now covering his very name.
For one whose sins have found him out
Little is left to know
Of hell, and pain, and tearing, anguished woe:
And may he not be pardoned for his doubt
OF better things? Another shattered dream
To pass, and be no more" So it would seem;
This only can embodied failure feel,
That it is ground beneath an unjust heel.

1.-THE GROWTH OF
| WESTERN CANADA
Increase In Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea Of the extent Of railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage In the Province OF III
berta has been doubled In three years.
The present mileage is 4,0S7. In all
of the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by a Dominion Railway Commis-
sion, and in the exercise of their pow.
ers they not only control the rates,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form a court to hear
complaints OF any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter Of education no better
instance Of the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to hand that
attendance at the University OF Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
five years, and Is now thoroughly rep
resentative Of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students In attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
trictA.
Then as to the prosperity which fol.

q. Edward Of Blackie, Alta, gives
splendid testimony. He writes, I'm
