FROM THE PACIFIC TO ENGLANI

The Pacific coast is closer to Eng land in transportation sense than ever before, but this fact is just be- ginning to be realized.
 This is true not only of the coast, but of a wide strip extending inland.
 Advantages coming as a result of the completion of the Panama canal are beginning to be recognized. It was only the other day that large Brit ish steamer left Vancouver, B. G., with 100000 bushels of Canadian grown wheat-grown hundreds of miles inland from the coast-for Great Britain via the Panama canal.
 This fact is considered as great an epoch in Canadian industrial history as the completion of the Canadian Pacific railway 35 years ago.

The freedom of discourse permitted an "outside" speaker that is invaria bly, denied resident preacher, is often brought to mind.
 An "outside" speaker usually delves into subjects and treats them in way rarely if ever heard from a local pull. pit.
 It isn't that a resident minister doesn't know enough to use an axe in stead of feather duster, but because he expects to stay in town and on the job.
 The strength of the chautauqua platform, for instance, lies in it's inde- pendence of localized restraint.
 The minister of a congregation has more freedom of speech than any other person on earth-except trav. cling platform lecturer. A preacher can not afford to deliberately court se- rious disagreement with his theories ol deductions; at best, he is expected tc expound the Golden Rule, live it, act it, and insist that his flock do like wise. A free-lance lecturer does not need to confine himself to expoundine great principle of human conduct but can with impunity mention names and specifically point out human frail- ties and discrepancies and rest as sured that no violent eruption will fol low in the wake of his methods.
 If Billy Sunday came to town he would probably hurl brckbats at some of us and might mention names oi evil-doers of high and low standing and tear the sheep's clothing off suct wolves as we may have among us He'd knock things topsy-turvy, would Billy-but he wouldn't remain in town
