"Poor fellowl He doesn't know anything about the. new blrthi"

' so remarked one acquaint about another to whom we had just been talking. The fact be- hind the remark was that a spir- ilual movement of considerable vigor had just swept through the little community and one of the uoys had been touched by it and the other had not. But what did the critic mean?

Once a friend in the far west was explaining to us the process of budding apple seedlings. He said that they were importing these seedlings from France by the

thousand and planting them in,

the Fraser Valley. when their growth was well started. they would cut a little slit in the stem and insert in bud cut out of an- other tree-Northern Spy or Mac- intosh Red or whatever type of fruit which they wanted the new tree to produce. If the bud "took" and began to grow, the life cur- rent of the tree turned into the new branch. and it flourished at the expense of the old stem, which soon was cut off. The appearance of the tree and the kind of fruit it would bear would be determined by the nature of the old stem. The bud changed the nature of the tree.

This is what the New Testament in-omises'io those who believe in Christ and accept Him as Saviour mid Lord. It is a new life and a changed nature, and it is God's direot gift to men. Jesus called it a new birth or a birth from above.

Here is a friend of my youth whose life had been driven wildly by tempestuous passions. Under the influence of a man of God he decided as he said. "to be a good boy." This resolution to change his ways was a new factor in his life, but it was swamped again and again by the tide of desire. Weak resolutions just crumped under the surge of passion aug- mented by habit. But he kept on with the man who had shown him his new possibilities in Christ. and in time Christ became a per- sonal reality and joined forces with him. Christ made him a new man. The old human nature was still there but its energies were tumeel in a new direction like thE life-tides of the budded apple tree. Now he hated what once he loved and literally gave himself under Christ's leading. to build up what once he had been destroying.

Now many of us are like R. t.. Stevenson's "Dr. Jelwil Ind Mr- Hyde". with two forces in our na- ture striving for the mastery. and the lower gradually gaining ground against the higher. We can say with St. Paul. that the good we want to do we can't do, and the evil we detest that we practice. The very essence of the Gospel is that the Christ. who conquered that evil on the field of the world. stands ready to share His victory with you. Even more-He can change you so completely that the good which now is out of reach shall become your heart's desire- as natural as breathing.

No organization in our time is more effective in changing the moral failure into the moral victor than Alcoholics Anonymous. and man after man among them at- tributed the change that has come over him to help from the out- side

It is an old saying verified in every generation: "It is not in man who walks in direct his steps."

Harold Begbie once told of a journalist east of Suez. where, as Kipling said. "there ain't no ten commandments." He saw daily practices which his soul” abhored, but kept himself free from them for years. At last he found him- self on the verge of an action de- testable to every moral instinct. and the very possibility was so startling that it jolted him into n realization of the need of personal transformation. soon it became clear that if ever he was to be- come a new man it must be by :1 power from the outside. That power came through personal con- tact with the living Lord. It is

as true today as ever that the Christ "is able to save to the ut- termoet them that draw near unto God through Him."

What has Ilia Gospel to say to the person who is falling moral- ly? This in brief-the change must be made at the centre. No- thing short oi a new life in a new relationship will meet his case. To try to reform by lopplng off this bad habit or cutting clear of that harmful custom is a vain effort; life must be changed in its en- tirety or not at all. God's prom- ise: "A new heart will 1 give you and a new spirit will I put within you" is backed by all the vitalizing energies released by Christ after His triumph over sin and death. The Creator creates anew. And the condition we must fulfil is the repentance which honestly breaks with the past and the persona: trust in Christ whlch.puts our case into His hands by a definite and final decision.

He was a life-long Presbyterian. The funeral services were con- ducted by the Rev. G. Carlyle Webster at his 'lai.e residence on Thursday, May loth, with a large number of relatives and friends in attendance. Interment was made in the Calvin Church Ceme- tery, Mermaid. The pail-bearers were six nephews, Lincoln and Kenneth MacRac, Clifton Math- eson, Alton Younker, Lowell Younker and Gordon Roberts.

Strange But True

I; I. ll. MacArthur

Like all mirers. James Duke, founder of the tobacco fortune, liked to see the money rolling in and little going out. when his an- nual income had ,ped the 360.- 000 mark, he hired the cheapest hall bedroom he could find in New York and ate his meals at a cheap Bowery restaurant. At that time none of his employees were allowed to earn more than 51.000 a year. We live in an age marked by lack of veneraticn. old institutions. however sacred. are now wantonly assailed. The aged are not respect- ed as they used to be and often fathers and mothers are addressed with rudeness. Instead of the good old Biblical canmand, "Children, obey your parents." the new order ls, "Parents. obey your children."

If you are among those the world calls poor. what of that? Captain cook. the circumnavigator. of the globe. was born in a mud hut. and started life as a cabin boy. Lord Eldon who sat in the British Par- liament for nearly half a century, was the son of a coal merchant. Ferguson. the philosopher. was the son of a half-starved weaver. They and thousands of others reached the top by self-cultivation.

Newspapers have 'bccome the highway of that intelligence which exerts a controlling power over nations, supplying the daily food of the mind. Take away the press. and a vast educating influence of the school and college would come to an end. This world moves along the lines of thought, sentiment and principle, and the newspaper gives to these wings and tongues.

As a rule. children of multiple pregnancies beyond three do not live more than a brief period. So far as records show, the Key sis- ters are the only known quad- ruplets who have even grown to adolescence in the U. S. A. And the five Dionne sisters by' this token are regarded as the miracle of the century.

The largest hallslone ever mea- sured. welghed and photographed, was found at Potter. Nebraska. July 6. 1929. It was 17 inches around. and iveighed 1 1-2 pounds.

Many fruits are picked green to preserve them during shipping and while in storage. Bananas are the one exception. Bananas are not fit to eat if allowed to ripen on the tree. Why? Because if they are left on the plant to ripen they lose their flavor, the skin breaks open. and bacteria and insects attack the fruit, causing it to rot.

Mary Munro of Lorne Valley. P. E. I.. lived to be 105 years, eight months old. And her twin sister. Annabella Munro died at Belfast, P. E. l.. at the age of 99.

During Governor Paterson's term of office a thief who stole five pounds from a merchant's

store in summerslde was taken to Queen's Wharf, where a rope was tied around his body. No. they didn't hang the fellow. They threw him into the cold October water, pulled him out. threw him in again. He got a separate ducking for every pound stolen.

The anatomy of a hog is such that the creature must close its eyes to swallow.. Frogs are minus ribs. and they can hold their breath for quite a time because they get part of their oxygen sup- ply through the skin.
