No Magic Solution

In every village large enough
to boast a crossroads and in all
communities of more or less
metropolitan proportions one is
subjected to a refrain, in the
tempo of the dirge, about reck-
less drivers, traffic congestion,
mangled pedestrians, and jay
walkers. Everyday brings forth
ia new wall from some police Of
fetal sounding an unmIstakable
note of DESPAIR and surrender.
Each time careless motorists
are eXcoriated, accidents are en-
umerated, new extraordinary
measures are conceived and dis
cussed and the usual lamentat-
ions of despair are in order.
The whole trouble seems to
be that the traffic problem has
become the policeman's buga-
Zoo, causing his mind to become
SO fevered and flustered as to
fail to function clearly and rat
ionally. In his delimma and blind
confusion he snatches at any
thing and everything from new
laws to fanciful devices, like a
drowning man grasps the float
ing straw and the imprisoned
animal beats out it's brains aga
inst the barrier which separat-
es it from freedom.
Of course modern traffic con-
stitutes a problem, but can not
those charged with it's solution
realize that it is one of those
problems which will eventually
|solve itself through the educat-
ion of the public? In the strict
est sense no accident is unavoid
able, but the phenomenal grow
tn of the automobile traffic on
streets and highways built for
wagons makes accidents newt
able. Time will bring cooperat-
ion and understanding between
police, pedestrians and motor
lists and when it does the traf-
fic problem will have been sol
we'd.

the lamented John Hay had made it a
practice to drink its waters and to
take the prescribed treatment annual
Iy. He remained there for an entire
Summer when his health became i'm
paired and seemingly received much
benefit. Whitelaw Reid and his family
always took the cure at Bad Nauheim
and Mrs. Reid and her daughter. Lady
Ward, are frequent patients. Before
the World War British royalty pa
troniZed the spa and many mourn now
that 1t is inexpedient to go there, no
matter how potent are it's minerals.
Former Senator Hitchcock and his
bride, who are to spend their honey
moon abroad, have engaged quarters
at the Jeschkes' for the entire month
of August, and Representative and
Mrs. Fred Britten are due there to
take the cure in the late Summer.

secured at the cost of the kingdom for
his family.
Eliiah's Condemnation Secured Re.
pentence.
When Ahab reached the garden in
Jezereel, anxious to take possession
of it, he may have not known all that
his wife had done to secure 1t. Tho
prophet in obedience to the divine
command awaited the King and bold
ly condemned the Ubiquitous deeds,
that had made possible his claim to
the estate and declared the doom that
awaited Ahab. His two attendants,
years later, recalled the prophecy of
Elijah, when it was literally fulfilled,
that lin the place where dogs licked
the blood of Naboth, shall dogs lick
thy blood, even thine"
Sin had found the King. God could
not permit the death of his loyal wor-
shipper to be taken in n judicial mur-
der without Furnishing the guilty per-
sons. The blood Of the righteous Ma
both called unto the Lord, who sent
the prophet to inform the King of Sc.
cret crime. We may cover our evil
deeds up from men, but the eye of
God notes every act against His word
and will. We can not shun His pres
ence. We cannot permit others to per-
form the evil deeds for us and be free
from our responsibility for the same
When Ahap entered into the field of
Naboth, Elijah met him and tore off
the shroud of the CHASTITY skeleton of
his crime. He accused the King of
being a conspirator, murderer. rob-
ber, a false swearer and a blasphemer,
without telling a word hardly about
the inlqulty performed in the King S
name.
The prohpet spoke the words of
friendship, when he pointed out how
the covetousness of Ahab had brought
forth death and doom to his dynasty
The King never saw Elijah again but
his words had reached the better part
of Ahab's heart. THE Kings last act
was an act Of penitence; on every
anniversary of Naboth's death he wore
the Eastern sign Of mourning, for
Josephus tells us that he went bare
foot
Although we have sinned, the
friendship of Jesus has made it pos
sible that we can escape reaping the
wages of SIN. through repentance and
faith. We can be sure that our sins
will find us out, and that without ac.
cepting the grace of our Redeemer we
can not escape paying the penalty for
the same. Let us shun sin of every
| name and character for the wages of
sin is death, that will separate us
forever from the presence of God

WHEN the traveller, pausing at the
w entrance Of the Victoria Bridge,
at Montreal, turns his gaZeS to the
city lying across the river, it is the
towers of Notre Dame that stand out
most clearly against the sky. The
cathedral fronts on the Place d'Arms,
and nearby is a paved space surround
ed by tall old houses Of ancient guise,
and containing monuments erected in
the days of the old French intendants
to the memory of the famous naviga-
tor, Jacques Cartier.
Although it is called a cathedral, 1t
is really not so. The name has come
to be applied to it because it is the
largest church in the entire province.
1t accommodates 10000 people with
ease and it has been known to contain
as many as $4,000 within it's wall. The
towers are over 200 feet high and con.
tain a magnificent set of chimes. One
of these bells, called the Gros Bourbon.
