We all have our faults and weaknesses Perhaps hers are no worse than her accusers. Her meetings show that she ie a great, master of oratory— no man or woman in America has grekter power over an audience. Her capacity for evangelizing is al- imoset unlimited. Mr. J. W. Edy, former editor of the St. Marys Journal Argus, ts in Los Angeles at present and has vis- ited her Temple, and last week wrote that paper telling a close-up picture of Aimie in her pulpit and tells of the part that woman playing in the life of that city and that State. He says in part: “Juet a day or two ago in looking over the pages of the Toronto Mail jand Empire it struck me that, even jat home, they cannot de entirely unacquainted with this case, and while it may not be advisable fer me to say much about it, I should at least let them know something a- bout Aimee Semple McPherson, the ) Canadian girl, born down at Salford {Oxford County, who to-day hae more influence than any other 6in- gle individual man, woman or child, in the City of Los Angeles, and who to-day is behind a work so over- wheimingly succeseful, so mighty in | ite influence, that nothing like it, foray that will at all compare with it, was ever known in Canada, jis not to be found West of the | Rocky Mountains and, so far ag } ;can learn, does not exist on the ; Continent of America. | “So aggressive Is her work, 60 jsteady its growth and such. inroads has it made on other churches, tha jealously had begun to be apparent.

Following a wondrous campaign conducted by her in San Francisco, the leaders of the under- world of the entire State have con- spired against her and thousands upon thousands of dollars have been spent in an attempt to undermine her work and, whether any grounds for it or not, to besmirch and de- stroy her reputation. In the minds of people here, now that the cage a- gainst her is dropped, a great mvat- ery overshadows the whole affair— the kidnapping part of it—and yet the Ormiston end of it is believed to be the invention of the underworld forces who have scoured heaven and earth for evidence, falee or true, to accomplish her ruin.” Weed Out Large Number of Cows AND GIVE BETTER FEED AND CARE TO — ADVICE TO F. “Mum,” he said, ye’d sit farther away."

The lesson passage describes one of these testa. It tella us of the different ways in which people will use or abuse their stewardship during this life, and the different ways the will have to deal with them after His return The Lord Jesus likens Himself to “a man travelling into a far coun- try. who called is own servants ap delivered unto them his goods.” Tt is to be noted that the goods, possessions. talents that these serv- ants were given were not their own,}. but their lord's. hey were “his goods.’’ What a difference it would make in our handling and all that we have if we realized, the time, whose goods they were. In connection with our Lord's re- turn, it ig interesting to note that his parable plainly states: “After a long time the Bye of those servants cometh."' Why should it surprise us that euch a cag time has already elapsed between the first and sec- ond coming of Christ? All men are not created equal; this lesson shows that. Five talents were given to one man ,two talents to another, one talent to sucther, r, “to every man according to his sev eral ability. Their abilities were not the same, nor were thelr stew- ardships. But, as Dr. Scofield has pointed out, their faithfulness was expected to be the game. The first two men used what was of all entrusted to them, fajénfilly sna diligently. They “traded.” That is they invested what they had “a0 made it bring returns. It ie unim- portant whether we understand “tal- ent’ as referring to money, or nat- ural endowment, or opportunity; The principle is the game through- out.
