For four years the Department of Agriculture has efipoifited‘ the chick- ens fatted at the illustration stations to Mr. Blackburn.

The Christian Guardian last week referred to the fact that Rev. J. A. Rankin, president of Toronto Con- lerence, in a recent sermon», made a strong plea for consistency in the matter of patronizing newspapers that advertised liquor concerns. Mr. Rankin suggested that Christian subscribers might bring about. a reformation by “stopping their paper," if publishers accepted liquor advertisements. Does Rev. Mr. Rankin mean that those who profess to be Chrisnians should have no business transactions with those con- nected in any way with the liquor trade? When the law of our land ‘allows the manufacture of liquor, it does not seem to us a crime to allow the dealers to advertise where it may be procured. We have heard of hotelrkeepers boycotting their local Storekeepei‘s became the 1latter voted for a temperance measure, and we. have thought it narrow. Such a boycott as the president of the Con- ference suggests wou}d not be likely to have good resuEts.
