Christianity is not a system of belief, it is a. type of life, a trend in ideals. There will be always those who insist on its forms as constituting its essentials. This is because it is so much easier to stand by certain fixad forms than it is to keep with an ever develop- ing ideal, especially since that ideal makes many practical demands up- on you. - v Religion That Never Changes in Itself Is Powerless to Effect Change in Us.

The harm of this lies in the facts that such mechanical uniformity stifles originality, makes faith per- functory, robs it of vitality, and so of any virtue in life. It substi- tutes for the struggle onward into our new and enlarging ideas the slothful settling down to content with old forms. It brands as a bad man him who honestly strives forward into light and commends the dolt and coward who timorously clings t_o the post:‘ IHI, “I have used Baby’s Own Tablets for my little boy since he was three months old. and find that they agree with him splendidly."

Every mother can keep her children in this condiâ€" tion if she will give them‘an occa» sional dose of Baby’s Own Tablets. These Tablets cure all stomach and bowel troubles, destroy worms, and make teething easy. Mrs. T. Covâ€" ert Massie, Toronto. Ont. says:â€" The wretched remnant of these gangs are brought to the so-called “Emigration Agents” established at various points of the country, under Portuguese regulations, and then forwarded to the other agents on the coast. The slaves destined for the is- lands are brought, before a, Portu- guese oflicial, and asked Whether they are willing to work on the is- lands for five years. Not the slightâ€" est attention is paid to their an- swers, and, cute-ring the office as slaves, they are shipped off as “contracted laborers” This is the process the Portuguese call re- demption. The most serious heresy of any age is that which calls itself ortho- duxy, the attempt to bind back the new life in the shells of the old, to substitute the footprints that the development of truth has made yes- terday for the onward moving truth itself and to force all into uniform and meaningless repetition of outâ€" gi‘oivnphases.‘ ' . u :- The slaves die on the islands at the rate of one in five, every year. At the end of five years for which they are contracted the survivors are called up before an official, and informed that they are contracted for another five years. They never go back home. When we talk of the faith of our fathers we need to remember that their faith meant so much to them because it was fresh and living. because they wreste-d it with blood and tears, from its old forms, from the grip of a traditionalism that. would have throttled it, that each new generation must see yet farther along the path of light and be loyal to the truth of the past by leaving its old tracks for THE TRUTH OF THE PRESENT. Few sights are more pitiable than that of the man who deludes him- self with the hope of saving the world by persuading all men to hold in their hands sets of symbols precisely like the one he holds, pieces of the garments and forms through which truth once revealed herself to the eyes of men, shreds from which the soul has fled.

Collins, New York, in the Satâ€" urday Evening Post, of Philadelâ€" phia, his subject being “The New Canada.” He starts off with ‘a. brief discussion of the pulp and paper question, observing, in con- nection with the proposed removal of the American duty on wood pulp, that the Canadians reason thus: “If you Yankees take off the duty on pulp we might as well put an export duty on logs and pulp. That will bring some of your Yankee mills into Canada. Last year we sent away a million cords of pulp wood, getting only three or four million dollars. If made into printing paper it would have brought at least twenty-five million dollars or double that for better grade. We have hewn wood long enough for Uncle Sam. Let's make paper for him instead." wintor months are past. most people feel depressed and easily tired. This means that the blood is im- pure and watery. That is what causes pimples and unsightly erup- tions. To this same condition is due atacks of rheumatism, the sharp stabbing pains of neuralgia, poor appetite, frequent. headaches and a, desire to avoid exertion. These troubles can all be banished by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Every does of this medicine makes new. rich blood which drives out impurities, stimulates every orâ€" gan, strengthens every nerve and brings a, feeling of new health and energy to weak, tirod out, ailing men and women.

Already, through her Postâ€"office, she. has put a heavy handicap on the circulation of our periodicals, and as we need her lumber and wheat and other raw materials from time to time, in the future~â€"â€"whioh we certainly shallâ€"â€" she can deftly adjust her own laws “In time, it is certain that many of these schemes will be worked out in actual schedules, and then some of our big manufacturers may find it easier to build up foreign trade from Toronto, Hamilton and other growing industrial centres over the border.

She is going to annex Uncle Sam, without malice, on a. business basis. and has several ways to do it. If he comes quietly it can be made pleasant and profitable. If he prefers to make a. fuss, there are the hilly and the handcuffs.” Taking up the question of trade between the two countries Mr. Collins accuses the McKinley tariff of “cutting Canada off in a day.” h hile Americans were considering other countries in the adjustment of that tariff, “Canada, the best foreign customer any nation has anywhere, was cut off, not design- edly, but without; knowing she was there." He then adds: Mr. Collins then proceeds to pass in review Canada’s raw materials which the Americans would like to have, such as wheat, timber and asbestos. “Canada. can be mistress of certain situations,” he says, with little legislation.
