E. GILROY, D.D. Editor of The Congregationalist. Success always brings its prob. lems, and possessions increase man's responsibilities. Isaac had inherited much from his father Abraham, but he had been shrewd in increasing his possessions, | and he had become a man of large herds in a pastoral society. His ene- mies, the Philistines, envied him, for their enmity and their envy ex- cept that Isaac was pparently more prosperous. The Philistines showed their envy by filling up with earth the wells which Abrham had had -his servants dig. Wells, of course, in such a soc- ety represented a valuable basis of | life for man and beast. The simple statement that "Isaac digged again the wells of water" which his father had dug, is full of rich spiritual meaning. The springs of goodness and of prosperity that our fathers have unbared through digging and delving become clogged up through neglect and through po- sitive acts of evil. Digging the Wells. There is always profound need ot digging again the wells of water which our fathers were so zealous to discover and maintain. Isaac, we are told, also called these wells that be brought, to life once more hy the names with which Avranack had called them. There is such a thtig as a healthy reverence for the past that strengthens life in the present. Apparently, also, Isaac, discovered other wells, for his servants "digged in the valley and found there a well of springing water." Then strife arose between Isaac and the herds- men of Gerar, who claimed this well. Isaac apparently was a man of peace, and he dug another, well, but they strove for that also. Of the third well that he dug they left Nim in peaceful possession. He called | land." ---- the name of this well Rehoboth, "for now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be truthful in the ------ Abraham's Ideals. It is interesting to see the peace ful ideals of Abraham finding ex- pression in his son Isaac. It is a | wise and sound policy to avoid petty | quarrels, and it is not always a right attitude to stand too pugnaciously for one's "rights." Rehoboth, the name hy which Isaac called the well; has been inter- preted as meaning literally "broad places" or "open places." One com- | mentator says that a modern English | equivalent would be "freedom" or| "liberty." Freedom and liberty are attained | as much through avoiding strife as | through conquest, though it isnot always possible to avoid strife. In- asmuch as Isaac followed in the path | of Abraham, it is not surprising that | through him should have been con- tinTed God's covenant with Abra- ham. | The closing verse of our lesson 1s] instructive. It tells how Isaac did | four things at Beersheba where Je-| hovah appeared unto him, apparent- | ly in a dream, confirming to him the | promoses made to Abraham. Isaac built an altar there; he| called upon the name of Jehovah: | he pitched his tent there; and he] had his servants dig a well. What do these things symbolize in modern life? Do we build an ®ltar to God, con- secrating ourselves to his plans and | purposes? Do we make the environments of | his altar our dwelling place? Mo | we do our part in digging the well | that symbolizes the springs of life and refreshing? | Here we have forcefully set be- for us life as a sacred enterprise. | Only the man who makes his life | that can presume to enter at all into the spirit of this lesson. ALEX. SMITH DELIVERS A LEARNED ADDRESS Liberal Association Last Friday in Ottawa. "From time to time the question 'why suchigatherings as these?' na- turally arises. The answer is so obvious as to be overlooked until some other organizations take pos- session of the political field. The clarion note is then heard that Lib- erals under pain of death must con- tribute, and keep pace with the flow- ing current of the life of the people. Liberalism involves and embodies a knowledge of the people." In these words, Alexander Smith, Ottawa, legal and constitutional adviser be- gan his address to the Eastern On- tario Liberal Association, gathering at the Chateau Laurier. Continuing Mr. Smith said that in the effort to acquire political information experi- ~~ ences will vary, but the true Liberal with stout heart and confidence in the future could say with the poet: "This world that we're a livin' In Is mighty hard to beat, With every rose you get a thorn, But ain't the roses sweet?" "From some of the Liberal leaders of the time of Confederation 1867, who subsequently took an active part in the Government of the coun- try after the passing of the British North America Act in 1867," Mr. Smith remarked, "we get a fine ex- planatory and practical knowledge of the written part of our Constitu- tion, the B.N.A. Act." Firmly Embedded Rights. One of the great Liberal leaders, Sir Oliver Mowat, previous to Con- federation (1867) was, Mr. Smith pointed out, a Minister of the Crown in two Governments in the Parlia- pent of Upper and Lower Canada, and two years before Confederation was accomplished he was appointed to a position 'on the High Court of the skin.

That, he. con- tended would be a violation of the Confederation agreement." Sir Oli: ng: of the B.N.A.

Act in some respects, .and observes that the B.N.A. Act in its guarantees, and in all else where Provincial Rights and the Rights of minorities are at stake is even more than a treaty and therefore cannot whim. To impress his audience with the development of Liberal principles Mr. Smith entwined some of these around great leaders, remarking that Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, Liberal Prime Minister of Canada from 1873- 78 had like Mowat and Blake a clear and firm grasp of the B.N.A. Act and of conor Liberal principles. Ontario Provincial Elections. Taking up the matter of the ap- proaching provincial elections, Mr. Smith said that in a few months there would be a provincial general elaction. The subjects to be dis- cussed coming under the powers that are exclusively assigned by the B. N. A. Act to the provincial legislatures. These in the main being stated to be: Direct taxation within the province in order to the raising of a revenue for provincial purposes. The borrowing of money on the sole credit of the province. The establishment amd tenure of provineial offices and the appoint- ment and payment of provincial offie- ers. The management and sale of the public lands belonging to the prov- ince and the timber and wood there- on. The establishment, maintenance and management of public and re- formatory prisois fn and for the province. The establishment, maintenance and management of hospitals, asy- Iums and charities, in and for the province, other than marine hospi- tals. Municipal institutions in the prov- cince, Shop, saloon, tavern, auctioneer and other licenses in order to the raising of a revenue for provincial, local 'or municipal purposes. The solemnization of marriage in the province. Property and eivil rights in the province. The administration of justice in the province. Education, agriculture and immi- gration. Laws That Touch the Home. In passing on to the more intimate phases of provincial jurisdiction. Mr. Smith appealed more particularly to the women electors by declaring that the laws of the province in an espec- ial way touched the home. This was a splendid political field for the wo- men. They being more than inter- ested in the home, and during every session their influence consciously and otherwise had been effectively felt. He recommended to both men and women a booklet issued by Allan M. Dymond, K.C., law clerk of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario. This compilation is is- sued by the Government and sent free on application. In this splendid outline, Mr. Dymond amongst others, makes the following divisions with the Statutes as the basis: 1. Marriage Law; 2. Property Rights of Married Women; 3. Main- tenance of Wives, Children and Par- ents; 4. Guardianship; 6. Protection of Women; 6. Illegitimate Children and Legitimation; 7. Adoption; 8. Maternity Boarding Houses; 9. Re- formatory Institutions and Industrial efuges; 10. Public Health---Social ygiene; 11. Workmen's Compensa- tion A¢t; 12. Mothers' Allowances; 13.
