business and h omes, They are not the
result of our political government,
For these four are the activities of
national life; they are the only tang-
ible, visible, understandable effective
proofs of life that we have, If a
man's body moves—does things—we
know it is alive. If it fs still, perman-
antly inactive. we know it is dead.
And so It is with a nation. It's ex-
pression of active progressive, grow-
Ing life is it's religion’ science bus-
iness and homes, And after all is
said and done, it Is Ufe—individual
and national life—that is the most m-
portant thing In the world If you pre-
fer, call it the spirit of the nation as
the churches speak of the spirit of
man. But for my part, the simple
term “life” serves all my needs of un-
derstanding. (And perhaps if our
churches attended more to the needs
of life and less to those of a nebul-
os something they call “spirit” they
might te better used.

Notice, in passing, that two of our
national attributes, religion and scle-
noe may be classified as theoretical,
or intellectual, and two as practical—
business (or work) and homes. I be-
Weve that national well-being {s ab-

They are the Mother and Father of
our growth. Isn't it marvellous how
natures Jaws run so true to form }
Mother wants a new carpet in the sit-
ting-room, but Father says no, the
mortgage must be paid off first. The
theorist preaches and the scientist
says to us “You don't know"; and the
practical workers and home-makers
Ye're too busy doing things to

bother”.

And again, the preachers say to the
scientists The truth is divine; we
haye it’; and so the scientists shoot
off a stink-bomb under the clerical
noses by saying “We believe only
what we can prove and that’s what
you can't do." So also, business says
to the family home “Money was made

The Piles Are Crumbling

And there we are right now. Each
wants to do the great “I am.” Ar-
guing, fighting, reviling, wasting en-
ergy, some exalted on a pile of rott-
ing religion, some with their heads in
the clouds on a pile of science, others
jording dt on a pile of putrid busi-
ness and some who can see nothing
but the multitude of homes; waving
arms and burling invectives; out of
breath; out of temper, almost out of
sanity: And meanwhile the piles are
crumbling beneath our feet; they are
fermenting in stinking stagnation be-
cause we won't get down and use
them. Religion % We have tons of
it. But how many sclentists and busi-
ness men use it; how few homes; yes
and often—at least as far as pure
Christianity 4s concerned—how few
preachers use it ? Selence ? Also
tons of it. But it doesn’t suit the
preachers; business men make it a ser-
vant to fetch them bags of gold; and
the homes are scared to open their
doors to the servant, because he takes
away all and more than their savings.
Business ? It’s the biggest pile of all.

The preachers call it Mammon; the

spit at its bi the homes call it
just plain “Hog,” And the family hom-
es 2? Well, religion spends so much
time and energy in trying to build
up the pile of ‘thelr own organizations
that they have little left to spread re-
al Chrisianity among the homes; the
scientists hardly see the homes be-
cause big fat business bars the view.
and the big bassoon of business
drowns out the call of home with the
call for dollars. :

Ho, hum | Well, Canada, what have
you to say for yourself ? Why this
thusness ? You know Poppa wants
you to grow up strong and wise and
happy; and Mamma loves you so much
she can’t bear to see you carrying on
the way you do. Oh! So you went on
a pic-nic with your tig neighbours
and they told you those naughty thin-
gs and you just did what they said,
eh! And now you've got a green-ap-
ple stomach-ache | And if George put
his finger in the fire, you'd do the

Canada, Be Yourself

Sure, we can! get some knowledge
out of history, but history is only 4
record of the past and the future is
far more important. We may watch
the older nations, we may even copy
their goodtut there Is also a terrible
Jot or bad.

Why be a tramp doing odd chores
in exchange for a handout when you
can liye handsomely on ‘the products
of your own great estate and be men-
ial to none, Why bow your head to
look for a lost nickel when you can
| pull a handful of gold from your own
pockets ? Why suffer from unem-
ployment and family distress, business
depréssion and financial stringency;
servitude of sclence and anaemic re-
Ugion ? Or why suffer from the con-
taglon of the measles of Russian Bol-
sheyism; the chicken-pox of the Eng-
lish industrial depression; the mumps
of the U. S, almighty-dollarism, or
the tuberculosis of a worn-out relig-
jon ?

Why not Just be Yourself? In other
words, be your natural self, not be a
sickly imitation of stupid senility.
But how can Jt be done ? How can
the present welf, muffled and stifled
and lazy, Dallled up In a bundle of
dirty bed-clothes borrowed from the
neighbors—how can the Self wake up,
snap out of It. wash the dirt of night
out of its eyes and! ears and mouth,
and freshen up for clean activity and
healthy growth? HOW ?

Certainly not by calling In the
neighbors for help; they are all ball-
ed up too. No, wé must look right

be done by an effort of the Ufe within

NEW METHOD STUMP BURNING

Clearing of logged lands is one of the
most difficult problems of numerous
ranchers in this district, and much in-
terest is shown in reports carried in
The News from time to times about
the new electric stump burner which
is proving its utility in the state of
Washington. A demonstration was re-
cently given near Sumas of one of
these appliances, and several Cana-

farmers, after inspecting the re-
ad were convinced that it does the
work,

It is deel: by officials
ting the stump burner that land may
be cleared at a cost of $15 to $20 an
acre, compared with $100 to $250 an
acre by other methods. Where in some
cases it would require $7 to $10 worth
of materials, without counting labor,
to remove a stump by the electrical
methods is said to cost 7 to 10 cents.
