Sunday School Lesson February 9. Lesion VI. Warnings and Promises Print Matthew 7. 12, 15-27. Golden Text Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast Into the fire. -Matthew 7: 19. ANALYSIS I. THE GOLDEN RULE, V. 12. II. THE FINAL TEST, VS. 15-17. INTRODUCTION Thii chapter touches on .the duties which a true discipic of Jesus owes > his neighbor. Among these th tic* a first place is given to a generous feeling toward thers, while a * 'MTV judgment is passed upon the haSit of unloving criticism. It is, of course-, necessary for us to exercise our power of judgment, and we cannot help but feel the distinction., between right and wrong; but Jesus is here condemning the censorious spirit, which is unfortunately %'ery widely spread. An old writer n this subject gave three excellent rules: (1) Judge not without necessity; (2) judge not without knowledge; (3) judge not without love. I. THE GOLDEN kL'LL, V. 12. V. 12. This so-called "Golden Rule" is ;i law fit for universal application, nd we might say that society will be getting near its final form, if this haJ become the rule by which each one guided his life. If, before we did any- thing to others, we stopped, and put ounelvM into their rosition, rnd de- ci:!e,l to do to them what we would like to have others do to us, then the worries and troubles of the world -..-ild be greatly reduced.

This was but one of the facts dis- closed as the speaker told the thrill- Inn story of one of the niost amazing business institutions of modern times. Tim Btory was replete with romance, adventure and mystery, and pointed with many references to history marking events and the achievements of pioneer adventurers under the di- rection of. "The Company of Mer- chant-Adventurers Trading into Hud- son's Hay." - Prince Rupert First The first 100 years of the comp-myV history, 1U70 to 177(1, he passed ovel' lightly, observing that it was in this period that' the company confined its operations largely to the Hudson Bay, at the same time sending out a num- ber of expeditious. A photostat copy of the first page of the first ledger opened by the company showed the initial subscription of Prince Rupert, 270 pounds, which the speaker con- fided was eventually paid iu Instal- ments. The following 50 years, 1770-1S20, were marked by bitter strife with the j groat Northwest company, culminat- ing in the battle of Seven Oaks. This period saw a considerable westward expansion of the company's opera- tions. Then in 1--1 came the absorption of'the Northwest company and an era of progress and prosperity unequal- led in the history of business. The operations of the company extended l<> llritUh Columbia, Included much of Wisconsin and Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, California, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and even a trading post at Honolulu. This great development came un- der the governorship of Sir George Siini>si"i. It was ho, the speaker re- called, who inaugurated the policy of ci instruct ing forts, notably Fort Car- ry, garrisoned by British troops \\hne expenses were entirly borne by the Hudson's Bay Company, for the pole purpose of warding off the American and Indian aggression. Krom 1S70 Jo the present time, the company had gone steadily ahead. With confederation, many of Its ab- solute rights as to sovereignty over territory had ceased, but it had adapt- ed itself to changing conditions, un- til to-day It had one oC the most amazing organizations in the world, including 300 fur trading posts, 88 vessels, 600 dog teams, 1.2UO canoes, and retail and wholesale stores all over western Canada. The peculiar rental terms under tha company's charter, the payment of two elk and two beavers to a repre- sentative of the royal house when he enters the company's domain, is still in force, and Mr. Alan stated that on the occasion of the recent visit of the Prince of Wales he had made this payment to His Royal Highness. Hut only last year, as the climax to 238 years of endeavor, the real pur- pose for which the original charter was granted, the navigation of the north \rest passage between the Atlan tic and the Pacific, had finally been accomplished, the company for the first time successfully sending a steamer clear through the famous passage. "To-day the company is a stronger, bigger and better organization than ever In its history," the speaker averred. of l'ie cannibal Island of Mulaita - -!

Canada Has Enough of Own Toronto Star (Ind.): (The Tariff Board is being asked to put a check on the imporfation of American used cars into Canada.) We have, in Can- ada, enough second-hand motor cars of our own. These second-hand motor cars are, as everyone knows, the prob- lem of a motor dealer's existence. . . . To aggravate this condition by glut- ting the used car market with old cars imported from the United Slates is to increase the difficulties of the Can- adian deater and to depress the trade- in value of the cars which Canadians own. Everybody's car is reduced in value by these importations. The con- sumer, instead of being helped, is in- jured. There is another aspect to tha case. There are quite enough old cars already on Ihe roads without adding to this number the cast-offs of, the Un- ited States market. Anyone can buy an old car at a reasonable price. No hardship will be involved in discourair- ing the importation of American used cars altogether.
