PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products Of the farm, the orchard and
the centres Of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page of history in
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
a billion bushels Of grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed s35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave Of abb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
ter in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag-
risukural production is commanding
ven more attention in 1916, and it is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
IN every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting OF
Canada's crops as being Of the first
importance Is perhaps the best evil
dence that conscription or any in
crease Of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity of Canada
will never be considered by the author
tiles.
Owing to the number who have en-
listed for overseas service it has been
found necessary to secure farm labor
in the United States. 1t is hoped that
fifty thousand can be secured.-Adver-
tisement.

Gifts for You.

Do you know what God is asking
you to take from him? Have you
really looked into the legacy, the be-
quest, which has been made to you
in the will, the last testament of Jesus
Christ-that inviolable document?
We cannot know what our legacy is
until we have gained a clear idea of
Christ and his work, past, present, and
future, as these are described there.
Three offers God in Christ makes to
us: Pardon for the past, peace for
the present, glory for the future"
If W accept them-as we may this
moment-they make the past as
though it had not been; the present a
continuing miracle; the future a sure
hope that goes utterly beyond the best
that we can ask or think. That is
our inheritance. Let US claim it this
moment, and every moment.
