How Times Have CHANGED!

"Times have changed" confessed old
Riley Rezzidew of Petunia, land, some
folks think, for the worse. Anyhow 1t
seems only yesterday that the propri-
etor of the Right Place store would
wink a customer into the back room
and offer him nip Of something red
and joyful. But now If he takes you
back there at all 1t Is b'cuz he wants
to know just about how soon you think
you'll be able to settle that little bill"

back. I looked down at my bare feet
and my clothes. both Of which were
dirty. Sally and her friends had
stopped their play and were standing
in group looking at us. I heard
Sally whisper:
"It's that Baynes boy. Don't he
look dirty?"
I stopped and withdrew my hand
from that of my guide.
"Come on, Bart" he said.
I shook my head and stood looking
over at that little, hostile tribe neai

He left me and 1 sat down upon
the ground, thoughtful and silent.
In a moment my friend came out
with Mrs. Dunkelberg, who kissed me,
and asked me to tell how I happened
to be there.

as twisted a button on my coat
and would say no more to her.
"Mr. Wright, you're going to take
him home, are your" Mrs. Dunkel

"Yes. I'll start off with him in an
hour or so," said my friend. 81 am

"Well, Sally, you go down to the of.

man asked of me.

"That means yes" said the man.
Sally and another little girl came

.. No ROOM FOR
PESs|M|sM
Canada as a Nation Builder.

With Canada's great task In the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
carried, and her recent victory In sub
scribing $175OO0,000 to the 9th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked.
he would be skeptic who would as
sociate the word peCsimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered. but even those akin to those
lost In battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there Is no room In Can
ada today for the pessimist. The az.
ricultural production Of the country
has doubled In four years. $4,000
600 are the railway earnings today
or 31h times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now
$1,733. 100000 as compared with $780,
100000 thirty years ago.
There is a wonderful promise for
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era Of peace. She has tri-
umphed over the soul-testing crisis Of
war. Before the war Canada was a
borrower, and expected to continue so
for many years. For the past year and
a half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.
A recent article in the Boston
Transcript" says:
''The people at home have not been
tagging behind the boys at the front in
courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development Of Canada's war in
dustry is an industrial romance Of
front rank. American Government Of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up In four short years. In De-
partment after Department where they
found American industry failed them
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day."
The same paper says:
1T Is a new Canada that energies
from the world war in 191S-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914.
'The war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than $4,000 of her
bravest sons lie in soldiers graves in
Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
by wounds. The cost of the war in
money is estimated to be already
$1,100,000,O00. These are not light
losses for country Of 100000 people.
Fortunately there is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself in this war.
She has discovered not merely the gal
1antry of her soldiers, but the brains
and capacity and efficiency of her
whole people. In every branch, in
arms, in industry, in finance, she has
had to measure her wits against the
world, and in no case has Canada rea-
son to be other than gratified."-Ad

Weekly Financial Review


 New York, August 23.-Furtner down. ward readjustment of quoted values, which began in the previous fortnight on the demands of the railway brother hoods, occurred in the stock market this week Some important shares recorded minimum prices for 1919 while others forfeited the greater part of the gains made in the protracted rise which had it's inception in the early months of the year.
 The spread of adverse labor condi- tions, including the strike vote of the steel workers in the middle west and the serious complications which threaten to follow in the wake of further slumps in extension of bearish aggressions. Ma teral rallies toward the latter part of the week resulted mainly from covering of short contracts, although substantial absorption. and some of the leading is- sues was observed at concessions.
 According to board room gossip. pub lie interest was again negligible, and the bond market reflected unsatisfactory in vestmept conditions with standard issues at lowest levels for one to two years.
 Money for speculative purposes was in fair supply, but at decidedly higher quo- tations than those which prevailed dur ing recent weeks, ruling at per cent. Time funds were notably easier, interior banks lending more freely for the shorter periods and increasing their holdings of mercantile paper

The Philosophy Of Life
nr MRS. c. II. MATHIS

The great development of science along the lines of vibratory motion in wireless signaling, together with sound reproduce in photographic records, and sight repro duction in moving pictures, is teaching a great lesson to the masses of the people fn vibration necessary to be learned. The operators of electric plants are familiar with the millions of transmissions to and fro of the current in a second of time. In fact, we are just beginning to famil- iarize ourselves with these unbelievable motions that have always existed about US, and of which we were not conscious
 The future holds vast revelations to the thoughtful student who really desires to learn more of vibration. If so much has existed about us, what may not be there also?
 We must not imagine that the human body is not a part of the great vibratory plan of the universe, for it most certain ly is if we consider what we already know In wireless signaling there must be both starters of the waves and su- persensitive receivers. In the transmits sion of light there must be an origin for the light waves and a representative re- ceiver, which Is the optic nerve in the eye, capable of receiving only light waves, feeling and tasting work along the same lines. The nerves of the human body are the wave receivers and/ trans mitters to the intelligence within, and

this appears to be the philosophy of life as seen through science and the Bible.
 Life is immeasurable opportunity to rise in the scale of being, to grasp the chance to walk with God, but we cannot carry selfshness with us. We must right the wrongs as we go on, or go down with them. We must be fair and square be- fore the Supreme Judge of all the earth if we would continue in the school of love.
 Come, let us agree in harmony, and so fulfill the call of our Creator and be found worthy to pass with the earth into it's new plane, which appears to be ap- preaching.
