YOU CAN STILL TEMPESTS Of all the miracles performed by Jesus, there is. one that particular- fly appealed: to my childhood fancy. That was the one in which he still- ed the storm at sea. Our lives are hindered Iby temrpests of various kinds. To *be sure, some are no more than tempes‘fs in teapots, but others at least appear to be very vital and tragically real. I rememiber reading an- account of a prize award for the best pic- ture portraying perfect rest. I be. lieve the contest was held in‘ Paris, {but the location is of little import- ance. The fact of interest is that after thousands of pictures had [been examined the judlgesa finally cast aside all but two. These two dealt with apparently opposite themes, yet 'both had been sent in, hoping to win the prize in this contest of pictures depicting perfect rest.

[by a placid lake. Not a ripple stirrâ€" ed its lazy waters. A cow, was resting ’neath the shade of a large tree. Not a leaf stirred in the branches. The cow was not even chewing her cud. Surely. one w0uld say, “here is perfect rest.” The other picture was that of a wild stonm raging in a forest. Lightning could be seen flashing in jagged streaks. The dank clouds overhead were apparently rolling ominously. One could fairly watch the trees wrenching at their roots as they twisted in the wind. The artist had, however, so con- structed his picture that one"s at. tention was focused on a little rbird sitting upon a limlb of one of the trees, and in the midst of all that noise and confusion and fearful manifestation its little throat co‘uldl lbe seen- to [be fairly bursting in» joyous song. .. ‘ __ Jv4_w~ Here in the presence of danger and turmoil was “Perfect Rest!” Perhaps the sorrg sparrow knew that not a bird falls to earth with- out the Heavenly Father's notice, but to those who distinguish be. tween their “inner” and Outer selves ‘the REST which. was enjoyed by the Tbirdi is possible, as they realize that no permanent; ham can come to the spiritual chich of the Godl of the Universe. Have you not met those who, in the midst of noisy, fearful disitufib- annces, were perfectly at rest in the consciousness of their contact with: the One whose everlasting arms are always underneath? When the temâ€" .pests of life roar about you, listen, and! you will hear a sttilfl small voice saying, “Peace, be s-ti‘ll; and! know that I A:M.”â€"By John E. Price. THE HEPBURN-DREW ATTACK 0N MR. KING It must “be evident to all by this time that Mr. Hepburnl’s wartime truce with Mr. King was meaning- less, and that his personal grudge against the federal premier still outweighs all other considerations. Col. Drew, as Conservative leader in Ontario, and mentioned as a possible Conservative leader in the Dominion if anything should happen to Dr. Manion, is in a somewhat different position. It is perhaps nvaturali that he shou1d= succumb to the temptation to use the legisla- ture as a sounding board' fou- attacks upon the war efforts of the Lib- eral administration at Ottawa. He goes further in this regard than ~Dr. Mandon has gone, Dt'. Manion being more familiar with federal affairs than he, and havfng, too, as Dominion Conservative leader, a sense of responsibility with respect to them. Messrs. Hepburn and Drew have no such- responsibility. So these two, ‘ for their separate reasms, join in attacks upon the Ottawa ministry whose the responsibility is. It is so easy for them to criticizeâ€"in a sense so cheap to criticize as they do, when they have no responsibil- ity themselyves, and when the prime minister and his colleagues at Ott- awa are up to their eyes in war work. It is they, not Messrs Hep- burn and: Drew, who have to answer to the country for the success of Canada’s war effort. Messrs. Hepfburn and Drew have their own sphere of usefulness in Ontario, and Ontario’s affairs need all their attention. But Mr. Hepâ€" iburn, having just been forced by (public to beat a retreat from his original council temn extension pro- posals, would, no doubt, like to tum the public‘s thought in another di- rection. He would be pleased to have Col. Drew join him] in his grudgeâ€"fight against Premier King and thus reduce the time devoted to: such: blunders of the Hepburn administration as the piling up of a huge provincial de‘bt beyond any- thing Ontario has ever known beâ€" fore. Since the war began there have been many attauks launched against the federal administration. And when the prime minister and» his col- leagues have taken time off from their war work to answer these at- tacks, the answers have been con- vincing and the critics have been routed‘ Canada is making a splen- did contribution- to the warâ€"a conâ€" tribution which is satisfactory to the British authorities, and which, We believe. will be entirely to the credit of the government when the history of the war finally comes to be writtenâ€"Star.

RICHMONU HILL, ONTARIO It was my gomf fortune to visit this one of the seven wonders of the modem world during- th-e declinâ€" t_ ing days of 1915, when the skies f were clear and blue and the weather surp‘efibly fine. Journey with me in imagination on the Egyptian State Railway 707 miles up the Nile frOm the Med‘iâ€" tenanear. Sea port of Alexandria and you will come to the famous Assuan Dam which for years was the largest structure of its kind in the world and still ranks among the mast wonderful sights in Egypt. It is situated at the First Cataract, a point which for centuries was the starting point of all expeditions in the Sudan. The town of Assuan olb- tained great notoriety among the ancient Greeks from the fact that Ptolermy considered it to lie on the Tropic of Canoer and! to be the most northerly point where at the time of the summer solstice the sun’s rays fell vertically. As a matter of fact it lies 0 degrees 37’ 23" north of the Tropic of Cancer. It was away back half a. century ago when the Egyrptian government instructed Sir Colin' Scott Moncriefif and Sir William Willkzooks to study the problem of making a reservoir albove the First Cataract on: the Nile. A commission was formed which fOr 3 month's examined all the proposed' sites and selected Aswan as the best place for the construction of a reservoir dam. This body of men recommended that a. «barrage be built across the head of the Assuan Cataract to hold back water to a depth of 83 feet whilchrwould raise the Ravel of water to a height of 374 feet above the level of the Med- iterranean. Immediately a great deal of adverse criticism was raised by the Archaeological societies of Europe and a compromise was reach- ed‘ which enabled the level of water held: up to \be reduced: by 26 feet. Messrs. Ajrd & 00. agreed) to con- struct the Reservoir Dam and1 bonds were isxsuedi .for £4,716,780, with re. paymenrt to be made in 60 half year- ly instalments of £78,613. This huge granite structure runs in a straight line for a distance of 2185 yards across the five summer channels of the river]. The storage capacity of the original structure was 37,612,000,000 cubic feet and the greatest headl of water was 66 feet. Its thickness valfedi from 98 feet at the bottom :to 23 feet at the top. Its masonry was penetrated by 180 sluice gates which were arranged at 4 different levels, namely 328 feet, THE ASSL‘AN DAM Scenes I Have Visited Every little child that’s admitted to The Hospital for Sick Children . . . there were more than 9,000 last year . . . wears an imaginary tag that reads “Return to Mother in Good Condition”. For more than sixty years, this Hospital has been receiving the sick and crippled children of Ontario, treating them, healing them, and sending them home to grow up and become healthy, USEFUL citizens. Now, more than ever before, children have a greater chance to be sent home in “Good Condition”. Advances in medical science have increased greatly the scope and services of this (Speciab to The Liberal) 315 feet, 302 feet and 287 feet. Only 130 sluices were used for regulating the discharge of water and the re- maining 150 sluices were required for giving sufficient waterway t0‘ the Nile when in flood. When the Nile comes in flood} albout Re beginning of July the sl‘uices are opened. At the end of} July the discharge of the Nile is reckoned at 159,000 cubic feet per second and) at the end of August it has increased to 353,000 culbic feet per second. On December 1st when practically all the suspended mud has passed through‘ and the water has become comparatively clear the gates are gradually cl‘osed' one after the other in regular order. By Feb. 28th: the lake which extends for a distance of about 180 miles back of the dam is full and 'by July 7th it is empty. When the wart of water in Egypt begins to 'be felt about the first of May the quantity fo/ cul'tivation is drawn off gradually. It is estimated that approximately half a million acres in lower and‘ middle Egypt was thereby added to the area of cultivatalble land. Please appoint yourself a benefactor of sick and crippled children . . . send a generous gift to the Hospital TODAY. Your financial assistance is urgently needed. The iron: gates of the sluices. are regulated by the help of electfiical winches standing on the top of the dam. These are much in evidence as one cross-es the dam on a small trolley car puslhedl by Arabs for which flhe retmn fare is only 5 piaster (25 cents). 1m 1908 the Egyptian government decided that the dam should be raised so as‘ to store water to a height. of 23 feet above the Ie’vel of the original column. This wank was completed‘ in 1912 and afforded sufficient irriga‘tfion for some 950,- 000 acres which was rformecrly waste land in- the southern districts of Egypt. It was estimatecb that this great structure increased the na- tional wealth by $27,000,000 and in- ctreased the storage by 2% times that created' by the original dam. To the west of the (barrage is a. navigation canal by which boats are Locked up and! down the Nile. It is about the same length as the dam and: is provided with four locks each 230 feet long and- 31 feet wide. The two 11er gates of the locks are 63 Ifeet high and! the others are 49 feet, 39 feet and 36 feet respect- ively\. By the construction: of the Assuan Dam the annual rental value of the land affected was increased (by ap- proximately 13 million dollars and its sale value by about 135 million dollans. It is doubtful if in the reâ€" cords of engineering work anorthe'r of the sluices are help of electfiical on the tCrp of the much in evidence Hospital. New treatments have been dis- covered to improve . . . even cure . . . the crippled children once doomed to a life of misery. Great strides have been taken to reduce the horrible effects of Poliomyelitis. New cures have been discovered for Pneu- monia and many other diseases. All these wonderful developments, plus the increase in emergency accident cases, add to the operating expenses of the Hospital. But nothing new has yet been developed that will add, in the same proportion, some- thing to the OPERATING REVENUE, except, of course, the generous support of kindly Ontario citizens who make many sacrifices to send a donation to help The Hospital for Sick Children. l GLENN’S DRUG STORE I EVERY FRIDAY 2 to 5 PM.
