that history has shown to be
the world’s greatest civilizer?
In these modern days there is
a diversity of creeds and views
and even the most sceptical
ean get a sympathetic hearing.
Find the church that best suits
your point of view and culti-
vate those influences that make
for the upbuilding of char-
acter.

ED

The influence of Religion on
the moral fibre of the nation is
one that has long been recog-
nized. Civilization in its high.
est form has always followed
in the wake of the world's best
‘religion, Another © striking
tribute to the value of Religion
is found in tracing the evolu-
tion of churches. Religion
from its very nature appeals
most to the struggling masses.
The early church received its
followers from the poor. The
Protestant Reformation began
with the starving peasants.
The Methodist Church at its
inception was filled with the
poor of England, The Salva-
tion Army a little later filled
its ranks with the dwellers of
the slums, and every religious
movement of any importance
still goes back to that source

as its fountain head.
* * *

A few years ago, Liberal in-
competence and mal-adminis-
tration in the handling of pub-
lie contracts was a_ favorite
theme with opponents of the
Laurier cabinet. There were
insinuations of rake-offs,
graft and middlemen. There
were assertions that contracts
were given to favorites and
that the interests of the coun-
try suffered in consequence.
It was charged that men and
firms were’ given contracts
which they were not competent
to handle. That was the Con-
servative story in the years
preceding 1911.

There is another story now.
It is told by no less an author-
ity than a member of the Bor-
den government.

. . s

“When we took office,” de-
clared Hon. Sam Hughes, in
speaking of work under his
department, as reported in the
Unrevised Hansard for June 6
last, ‘“‘we became virtuous and
tried to change the contractors
but we met with loss and delay
and all sorts of trouble on the

The curious thing, however,
is to watch the evolution of
these bodies. The early church
soon developed into an aris-
tocratic body that boasted of
an emperor in its ranks. The
peasants of Germany soon
included a band of nobles and
now a kaiser is its head. The
Methodist Church jinstead of
being a band of poor and suf-
fering humanity, is a body of
cultured and refined people and
there are even signs that the
Salvation Army is moving up
the ladder.

The only conclusion there-
fore that can be drawn is that

part of contractors and fail-
the influence of religion trans- ure on the part of the men
forms a people and elevates who, in the course of years,

them from the lowest to the
highest stratas of society.
- . .

The attitude of a certain sec-
tion of the modern working-
men and others toward the
ehurch would seem to be fool-
ish in view of these facts.
Perhaps certain sections of
the church is filled with people

would probably have become
as expert as the employees of
the old contractors. The old
men have been doing this kind
of work for years and ean do
it mueh more satisfactory and
therefore we are still giving
from the contracts.

The government has found

 

of aristocratic leanings but that the best work was done by
because of that why exclude the contractors who were em-
themselves from _ influences ployed by the former adminis-

that there were improper acts
on the part of these contrac-
tors in other years unless it is
to be assumed that Premier
Borden and his colleagues are
prepared to trust the business
of the country in the hands of

men whom they know to have)

been guilty of wrong doing. |
The fact is plain—and it is
emphasized by the admission

of Colone! Hughes—that under

to competent men and = firms
and that the country received

Gusher Is Developed

Calgary, July i.—When the

news reached the city that Ding-
man Diseovery Well No. 1 had
developed into a gusher intense
excitement prevailed. It was on
last Saturday afternoon that the

well was uncapped in the pres-
ence of the managing direetor,
Mr. A, W. Dingman, several

prominent Calgarians and a
newspaperman from Minnesota.

A stream of gasoline oil, four
inches in diameter, rushed out of
the well, and great was the
pressure behind it that the fluid
shot up over the top of the der-
rick, which is 84 feet in height.

AN

Investment !

Today jhe real estate market is
quiet Property turns slowly and
though prices remain firm the man
with a few hundred dollars to in-
vest does not see much chance for
4 profitable turn in buying an un-
improved lot. It is the improved
property that is making the money
these days, but the small investor
has no chauce to get in on it him-
self.

 

But he has a chance to get in a
syndicate ——- The Prince Rupert
Building and Investment Company—
an association of investors with

small capital whose pooled re-
sources makes it one of the most
active and prosperous business or-
Sanizations im the city.

This company has built many
houses and has just completed a
Splendid apartment house. It deals
exclusively in Prince Rupert invest-
ments, it has no paid officers and
ho operating expenses, Dut it makes

money. In three years tt has paid
an average annual dividend of 17
per cent.

A new stock issue has
Dut on the market. It sells at $11
4 share and we can recommend it
te anyone who has a small amount
of capital on which they. would
like to draw good interest with
good security back of it.
