When, sixty-odd years ago,
the Canadian Confederation was
formed, now known as the Do
minion Of Canada, the various
British provinces and crown col
onies in North America were
given the opportunity to join.
Newfoundland preferred tc

done 50 TO this time, despite ef-
forts on the part Of the domin-
ion to induce it u Join
In recent years the island col
ony has paid heavily for It's in
dependence. It has been in fin.
anclal difficulties more than once
and recently the dominion and
Great Britain have Joined hands
To aid it.
The islanders are grateful for
this assistance; and there is
more hope at Ottawa today thar
in the past that soon the whole
Of British North America may
be included within the bound
aries Of the dominion.
Newfoundland stands 10 gain

He is UP in years when he first

Food Value Of Tapioca
Discovered In Odd Way

Tapioca," which is OF native Bra
zilian origin, is the name applied to
a vegetable food obtained from the
starch In the roots Of the plant known
as bitter cassava, which Is indigenous
to tropical America. According to a
Latin-American tradition, the food
value Of the eassava root was sacci-
dentally discovered BY a Spanish ex-
plorer lost in the jungles Of Brazil.
He had heard from the Indians that
the sap Of the cassava plant was high
" poisonous, and, preferring q quick
death by poison to a slow one by star
vatfon, he ate bowl Of soup prepared
BY boiling cassava roots In water. In.
stead Of dying he lived to tell the
world how this pleasant and digesti-
Bile food saved him from starvation.
As matter Of fact the milky Juice Of

Jesus Begins His Work, Mark
1:12-2O, for Sunday, Jan. 8:
This lesson rushses us right into
the work of Jesus. Mark passes
over all the Introductory events in
the life of Jesus, not even mention
ing his birth or his childhood, as
though he had no time for these in
his urgency to present Jesus at
work.
". IL. 'sAnd straightway the
Spirit driveth him forth into the
wilderness" When Jesus entered
into redemptive service which was
marked by his baptism, he was di-
vinely impressed by the Spirit that
he needed time for prayer and med
itation; there was no better place
for this than in the quiet place east
of the Jordan.

was written In 1897. In Bellamy's
Utopia, there was no money and no
banks. A credit corresponding to his
share Of the annual product Of the
nation was given to every citizen on
the public books at the beginning of
each year, and a credit card issued to
him with which he procured at the
storehouses,, which were found in ev.

In each was central store, where
people made their choice and gave or.

to great central warehouses and the
goods distributed by a system Of tubes.
The price was then subtracted from
the customers credit account.

Jesus Begins His Work, Mark
1:12-20, for Sunday, Jan. 8:
How may we know when we "are
led of the Spirit" into temptation?
What is the kingdom Of God?
What are the evidences that men
are called to preach the gospel?
What does true repentance in
volve?
Why did Jesus select such un-
learned men for his disciples?
For what is Zebedee to be prais-
ed?
What is involved in following
Christ" today?
Glorious says: 'sThe burning mes
sage Of both John and Jesus was
'Repent'-which implied a percep-
tion of sin and guilt and firm re-
action Of the soul against sin. Such
repentance clears the way for Christ
in hearts and lives Of men,"
Lesson Prayer: "Help US to per-
form every duty so well that there
will be offered an opportunity for
the Lord to speak. and call us to
other service"

Satan: and he was with wild beasts;
and the angels ministered unto
him." The details of his temptation
are recorded by Matthew; it is suffi-
cient to know that Jesus was vic
toriOus and that he was divinely
aided by angels who ministered un-
to him. Temptations come to every
man, but with the temptation there
is provided strength and the means
necessary for victory when one wills
to use them.
v. IA. "Now after John was de-
livered up, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of God" Gal
lice being the most populous prov
ince, offered great opportunity for
Christ's work, the s'preaching Of
the gospel which would deliver the
people from their sins and establish
the reign of righteousness and
peace"
V. Is. "And saying, the time is
fulfilled and the kingdom of God is
at hand: repent We and believe in
the gospel" The kingdom OF God
does not leave place for competi-
tion and strife, warships and war,
oppression OF people, human ambi-
tion marked with selfishness. it is
a Christian state of mind surcharg-
ed by the Spirit Of truth, righteous
ness, mercy and love.
VS.. 16, II. "And passing along
by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon,
and Andrew the brother of Simon,
casting net in the sea; for they
were fishers. And Jesus said unto
them, Come We after me and I will
make you to become fishers of
men, About year before this
Jesus called these disciples to fol-
low him; the time was ripe now for
service, and the call came again;
they were humble. folk. but teach
able and capable. of leadership;
Jesus call to service comes to men
engaged in honest service, possess
ed with willingness to do more
and better work.
v. IS. "And straightway they
left their nets and followed him."
Mark uses frequently the word
"straightway." The word portrays
character and conservation of pur-
pose SO essential in victorious life.
There is no time or place for temp
tations to turn aside, when Gods
call of obedience is prompt.
v. 10. "And going on little
further, he saw James the son of
Zebedee and John his brother who
also were in the boat mending the
nets.' Zebedee's wife, Salome, may
have been sister of Mary the
mother Of Jesus, and so it was nat
ural that these cousins if fitted for
discipleship should be called. Zeb-
ebee needs to be honOred since he
staid at home and carried on, thus
making it possible for his two sons

Explaining Lean Year

When julius Ca gar reformed the
Roman calendar, he added day every
four year in order to make the aver
age solar year 1864 days. This was
done by doubling the sixth day before
the Calends Of March, and hence the
year was called bisextile-a name that
still prevails among the Latin nations
of Europe, which regard February "a
as the intercalated day. In English
speaking countries, this year is called
'1eap year" because the Sunday letter
"leaps" day. no letter being affixed
to February %. Every year exactly
divisible by four except those that are
exactly divisible by 100 and not by
400 is leap year.

The nahdYcaps or officials of the
state and all political subdivisions
due to dwindling revenues have in
creased. Distress due to unemDloy-
ment has spread. The capac " of
taxpayers to contribute has d nlin-
ished. But government must meet
all of the normal and extraordinary
the progressive curtailment of re-
sources.
Reduced to figures, here are the
most perplexing questions this

100000 for these purposes.
How are the schools to be kept in
operation? A survey made by DR..
Paul r. Mort, under direction of
Governor White, shows the state
must provide minimum of $20.-
100000 to maintain the educational
system.
Editorial commentators fra.kly
confess bewilderment as to what
workable methods may be de~ised
to collect the staggering sums these
problems call for Typical C the
views expressed by newspar OF
the state. as they seek to counsel
harassed legislators, to impress cit
izens with the gravity of the situa-
ton and to urge public cooperation
with elected officials, are these:
Cleveland Plain Dealer: "The
only sensible course for the law
makers is to accept the facts, grim
as they are, and prepare to meet
this stupendous problem in an Or
derly and effective manner. They
will be plagued by the dilemma
which today faces all those charged
with the duties of government-on
the one hand the proper and in
sistent demand for economy; on the
other the obligation OF extending
reasonable help to the innocent vic
Tins of depression who cannot help
themselves"

$14,00O,000 to be contributed from
the state treasury for relief of the
needy to come from? The legisla-
ture will have this question to an
swer Where are the additional
public funds to be raised by cities
and counties to come from? More
shifting of gasoline taxes? More in
tangible taxes? A new sales tax?
A new income taxi"
Great courage, wisdom, sacrifice
and public spirit are demanded OF
us as we face these problems. Pol
itics must adjourn while these per-
plexities are faced"
Toledo News Bee: "The outline
of the states financial problem
shows that the governor and the

tinuing all the economies that have
been in effect in the past two years
