Buddhism az Understudy.

A Buddhist priest once said to mis-
slonary, 1--WE have no love in our re-
liglon. Christianity has. You will
therefore succeed"
And all this is the stranger because
the Buddhists heretofore have taught
that young children and women have
no souls, and they have consequently
been neglected. Now they are quoting
from authors who speak Of Meth
odlsm's work in Europe, beginning
among the children.
The imitation of Christian methods
is a great, though an undersigned, COM
pliment to the work Of the missionary
and the native church. An interesting
fact is that the Buddhist sect which
is most active in this imitation has,
as one of its teachings, belief In the
coming Of redeemer who is to save
from sin.-The Christian Herald.

OPPORTUNITIES,
THAT ARE MISSED
Nhy Wait? Why Not Go to West
ern Canada Now?

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that "after the war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not Oc-
cur to those making the remark that II
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go Is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty MS ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and to-
day hOmesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There Is no
question about what the land in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what 1t will give under proper cul-
tivatiOn.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no Idle statement may be Cleaned
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
an the spring of 1916 half-section
of land was offered for sale at $l7OO
per acre. There were 105 acres OF
summer-fallow, which because the
owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 4,20O bushels
all told, grading No. l, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about 5000 was $1.60, which brought
the handsome total of $6,720.00. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $17OO
equals $4,000, so that buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made profit
of $1,2S0.00." - Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
"That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses as well as make q
handsome profit, Is the information
given by N. b. Davis, the manager.
The wheat yield was over 22,000 BUSH
els. OF twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. /, and Mr. Davis has sold
over 1000 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to In
diana he will be big booster for AL
berta."-Bassano Mail, Bassano, Alta.
oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
In last spring, for $3,800.00, has
threshed 5000 bushels of wheat, which
is worth at present prices about
$7,50000. He refused an offer Of
$500000 for the land after the crop
had been taken off."-Lethbridge Her
aid, Lethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop Of many farmers In West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory
Coblenz, Sask.-W A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels per
acre and s3 bushels Of oats.
Gleichen, Alberta.-Up to date 237,-
812 bushels of grain have been received
by local elevators, of which nearly
10000 bushels were wheat. Seventy
one cars Of grain have already been
shipped.
Stoop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed 5,400 bushels Of grain,
1900 bushels of which were wheat,
grading No. 1 Northern. One field
averaged A bushels per acre, and
large field Of oats averaged 83 bushels.

Meanwhile the people whose busl'
ness had always been to make the III
viera attractive, were looking each
other in the face. They saw nothing
but ruin ahead. But something desper-
ate had to be done, for the living OF
many thousands depended on their de-
cision and it's success. Just as brave
ly as the young men were fighting in
the North, the older men in the South
put their backs to the burden. They
got no sympathy from outside. They
must stand together and save the RI
viera as their sons and younger broth
ers were saving the rest of France.
Casino Doing Its "Blt."
Few hotels were to remain shut fof
the season, except those which were
needed for hospitals. The shops were
to do business as usual" and great
petition was sent to the Casino not to
keep its doors closed: 1t was more
sympathetic" 1t was more patriotic
to open them. The Societe saw the
| justice of this, since the life of the
Riviera might hang on their world,
| Consent was given, though 1t looked
as if it meant large monetary loss;
and on January 1, 1915, when the war
was six months old, the Casino az
Monte Carlo began to do its "bit" by
the public, as already 1t was doing for
its employees.
By this time everything was getting
into full swing. But what different
everything" from what we had all
known! If you were not doing some
good work, public or private, you
were as much ashamed of yourself all
If you had stayed in London. Not even
an automobile dared to show its nose
unless 1t had Red Cross on it. And
without its dust-raising hordes of mo-
tors the Riviera began to be won
drous new place, that had to be dis
covered all over again. When you had
finished your daily work Of visiting
the poor or of suffering in some rock
village or hospital, when you had put
together your pile of knitted socks, or
the bandages you had promised to
make, you could actually go for quiet
walk-a joy forgotten since high-pow-
cred cars took over the Riviera.
Ordinary gaieties were given up, and
1t wasn't fully realized yet how kindly,
how cleverly they could be organized
for doing good. In Mentone the tall,
black Senegalese soldiers had begun to
appear, at first to be trained for a new
kind Of fighting; then, when they had
fought, as invalids in the hotel-hospit-
ais. But, we'll or wounded, they were
gay crowd. They made MentOne
picturesque with their costumes and
their camp fires and their games in the
streets.
Indeed, something in the sunshine
and salt tang of the sea made all the
dwellers in Riviera hospitals gay.
There were few sad sights, for wound
ed men simply bounded back to health
again, and it was good to meet them
on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice,
on the Boulevard de Ia Croisette at
Cannes, or the front at little MentOne.
Already the Monte Carlo casino had
begun organizing its Red Cross chari-
ties; many women and girls in society
had given up everything in order to
train for hospital work; but it was
only last winter and now at the begin
ming Of this third war season that the
new Riviera completely found her.
