already saved, let us suppose. But for
what purpose were you saved? Since
God loves you with "love TINT pass
eth knowledge" and since "to depart
and be with Christ were far better"
than to remain here-why did he not
call you to himself at your conversion?
Why are you here instead of enjoying
your Redeemer's presence2 There
must be some reason. "Ye have not
chosen me-" said Christ, "but ! have
chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain" May
it be to give you another opportunity
to glorify his father by bearing fruit,
that you are still here2
1t may be you are waiting to be
perfected. l ought to explain this, be-
cause there Is sense in which every
true Christian Is perfected the moment
he accepts Christ as his Savior. He
is perfected In that he Is both justified
and sanctifed; his sin is put away, and
by the Holy Spirit he himself is set
apart for God forever. The New Tes-
lament Is very clear on this; notice
Paul's words In his epistle to the Co
lossians, for example.
What, then, do we mean by saying
we may be waiting to be perfected
Do we mean the attainment of a state

for If Christian lived to be-as old rs
Methuselah, would he not still require
to pray, "Forgive us our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against
us?" We only mean that perfectness
in the sense Of ripeness for the
some as If crown of glory had been
vouchsafed to them even before they
passed into the unseen.
And so may 1t be with some of you
Though now your pruning, your dig
ging, and perhaps your growing days
are over, yet the quiet but potent rays
of divine grace are accomplishing @

your Christian life never will have
been so attractive as In the hour that
you depart hence. 1--WE all do fade as
a leaf, but the fall Of you, ye glory
crowned ones, is to be illumined by
the grandeur of an autumnal sunset.

CANADA'S new
development.
after the War a Period Of Pros.
perity.

It is evident that the Government OF
the Dominion In its programme OF re-
construction and development Is un-
dertaking work Of tremendous linz
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation OF
this labor will entail the thought and
energy Of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, In
stead of Canada sinking into state
of lethargy, there will be continued
period Of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for. his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities Of
the great Canadian West possess film
liable acres Of the best of soil. capable
of producing millions of bushels Of
the best of grain. The cost Of grow
Ing this Is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one Of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement Of
1t will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted OF
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There Is an abundance Of
coal and wnter power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced In this
way will mean to the farmer and de.
velopment of Industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated. in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls oil over
the country, Is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and 1t is equally certain
that shipbuildlng, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the In
dustries will go forward with q
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
In the reconstruction Of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas commission for
the purpose Of securing orders. Can.
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and In the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty Of her
people she has earned large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

ANOTHER LEAF

Within hfe's book another leaf is turned;
Today we face new and unhied year,
Its secrets and its purpose all unguessed.
No hand may lift the veil that hides from US
Success or failure, and no feet save-ours
May tread our pathway, do several tasks.
We step into the New Years outsretched arms,
And wonder if with all her Turing charms
Truer she'll prove than one we leave behind.
What we have gained from wrestling with defeat
Mayhap will give strength foes to meet
With greater courage Come, then, storm and stress.
Defeat and failure or joys magic SPELL
To each or all the new year holds in store
We reach our hands in welcome, for we know
Our truest blessings from our failures grow,
And that our share of happiness will be
What we acquire through selfmastery.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Millions of bushels Of corn could
have been saved In marketable con-
dition last fall If proper farm storages
had been available for the accommo-
dation of this grain. The farmer pos
sesses no regulatory powers over the
wenther man: he has no control over
season, hut he can fortify himself
against the crop losses which often
occur as q consequence of inadequate
equipment and unserviceable shelter.
Time was, with grain dirt cheap. that
any sort of n makeshift crib or bin was
satisfactory as storage for the grain
crops. In actual dollars and cents,
many farmers reckoned they could
stand the losses of n few bushels of.
grain better than they could afford the
cash outlay FOR the construction of de-
pendable, permanent storehouses. For
tunately, the prevalent high prices of
grains are pushing the props from un-
der this outworn theory. The loss OF
several tons Of corn or wheat, in view
of the present market prices, mounts
into three-column figures, and 1t doesn't
take many such losses to make this
waste loom large az n mountain.

war SAVINGS SOCIETIES ORGANIZED IN
TENSAS PARISH

Miss Lillian Meyer of Monroe was a
visitor to st. Joseph last Friday as
representative of the Womans' Coun-
Gil of National Defense for Louisiana,
her mission being to organize War
Savings Societies in Tensas parish
with view of selling War Savings
Stamps
Miss Meyer addressed gathering of
ladies and gentlemen at the Court
House, when she took occasion to tell
the audience of the great necessity of
every man, woman and child in the
United States investing every nickle
of their spare change, and some that
they can hardly spare, in these national
securities. Miss Meyer said we should
all deny ourselves everything we can
possibly do without in order to aid the
government more abundantly. The
nickles that we have been spending
for cold drinks and confections, and
even the picture shows, should now be
diverted into the national treasury.
Our people are really unconscious of
the great responsibility that rests on
every person, and as we generally ell
are loath to think of death and make
preparation for its coming, so are we
unmindful of the horrible-yes un-
neutrality-suspicious. that may con-
front us should our nations efforts in
the present crisis prove futile through
Indifference on the part OF her citizen
ship. In short she would have Us I'M
derstand that the United States is
peacefully sleeping over . volcanic
crater, and unless this slumberino
giant is aroused to action we may yet
feel the force of the explosion and be-
come the victim of q merciless foe.
No man. woman or child should be
callous of the duty that rests upon him
or her, and should make every
sacrifice possible, even to the ex-
tent of doing without the needs of life,
in order to answer their country's de.
mands, and should hurriedly bring
their treasures and place them at the
feet of the government. II there ever
was time In the nations history when
we should learn self-sacrifice and pat
riotism it is now.
Several War Savings Stamp Socie.
ties have been organized in Tensas
parish as result of Miss Meyers visit,
and each is under direction of lady
captain, who solicits members, and
each member obligated him or herself
to buy at least one thrift stamp per
week during continuance of the war.
Not only is patriotic duty to the ma
ton being thus served but the much
neglected habit of saving is being cul-
tivated, for we are not giving, but
lending this money to the govern
ment. Hence everybody in the parish
who can spare at least twenty Ave
cents week should join one of these
savings clubs and help themselves
while they are helping the govern
ment.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY or LA
BOTI POST TELLS OF PLANS

The department OF labor authorizes
the following.
Louis r. Post, assistant secretary of
the department of labor, in a state
ment, criticized the present agitation
for the importation Of Chinese and
Mexican labor for railroad mainten-
ancc. agriculture. and other unsklll-
ed work as unnecessary and preju-
dicial." All requirements for COM
mon labor. he declared. can be met
by the proper distribution Of the do
nestle supply and by the use of Am

The United states employment ser

Statement by Mr.. Post.
Mr.. Post said:
There is absolutely no necessity
for the importation of common la

agitation for such action is prcjudi-
clal because 1t increases the false inn

as the country as a whole realizes
that there is no general shortage of
