There are many paths of thought and experience which lead to atheism, but none perhaps which is more fre quently traveled 'ban that of the in ability of the human soul to interpret ^rationally and morally the workings of the universe. Again and again we find ourselves standing dumb and helpless before the inexplicable mys teries of earth. How to explain the stupendous cataclysms of nature, the universal horror of the struggle for ex istence, the innumerable agonies of animal life, man's inhumanity to man. the ravages of disease, the barbarisms of war. the sorrows of death—how to reconcile the hard facts of evil with the conception of an all wise, all just and all powerful Qod—this is a ques tion which we cannot seem to answer. And. failing to answer, we Jump at once to the sweeping conclusion that, these things being true, there is no God. “I cannot understand the uni verse," is the line of argument, "and therefore 1 cannot believe in God." Infidelity Not Logical. Now, that we should find it difficult to understand the world of nature and of man is not a thing to be woudered at. The further we penetrate into the great world of being the deeper be comes the mystery in which we find ourselves involved. But that we should | immediately assume, because of the inability of our little minds to fathom every depth and Beale every height, that God is a sheer lffcmeut of the imagination is certainly a thing to be wondered at to the very end of time. For when has failure to understand ever before been taken to be bona lido evidence that there Is nothing to un derstand? The schoolboy is undoubt edly unable to work out the answer to I his algebra problem, but what right I has he to throw down his pencil and shout that tho problem has no anewer? ! 1 certainly fail In miBcruble fashion to ! decipher the inscription on this broken | tablet from the Egyptian desert, but { this does not prove that the letters | have no meaning. Not Given Us to Understand. For countless ages men saw nothing but conflict and disorder in the world of natural forces, but this demonstrat ed not that the universe was chaotic but that tho human reuson wus not yet acute enough In observation and daring enough in imagination to be hold the law and order which has since been unveiled. And so with the great question of God. It may be true that I cannot see any evidence of di vine goodness and wisdom In the world. It may be true that I cannot understand the place of flood and pes tilence and sudden death in a world created and ruled by a beneficent Deity. It may be true that I can work out no answer to thl« tangled problem of existence. Hut who am I, pray, that I should expect to do this thing? And why should my failure be taken as in any sense proof positive that it is not to be done at all? Where is the logic of such a conclusion from such a premise? Is it not more logical to argue that my failure to understand is perhaps a reflection upon my powers of understanding, rather than a reflec tion upon the understandable charac ter of the problem Itself? Is it not at least possible that the answer is there, even though I cannot see it, and that some day a mightier understanding than mine will make It plain? Ho at least I try to think. It is my faith that God lives and that his reign is at once wise and good, even though I fail to understand. “I believe; help thou mine unbelief.*'—Rev. John Haynes Holmes. Uplift of Crucifixion.

E. Ktttredge. WESTERN CANADA CAME INTO EVIDENCE A T THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR SUPPLY OF WORLD'S FOOD* STUFFS. The present demand for foodstuffs In all parts of the vorll, and the ex* penae of producing It on high-priced lands, would make It seem that west ern Canada came into evidence at the crucial period. There is to be found tho opportunity that will be a large factor in meeting this demand. With its millions of acres of land, easily cultlvatabie, highly productive, acces sible to railways, and with unexcelled climatic conditions, the opportunities that are offered and afforded are too great to be overlooked. There have been booms in almost every civilised country and they were looked upon as such, and in the course of time the bubble was pricked and was burst. But In no country has the development been as great nor as rapid, whether in city or in country, as In western Canada. » The provinces of Manitoba, Sas katchewan and Alberta have the larg est area of desirable lands on the North American continent, and their cultivation has Just begun. Even with a two hundred million bushel wheat crop, less than eight per cent, of the land is under the ploughs, four per cent, being in wheat. Less than five years ago the wheat crop was only 71.000,000 bushels. It Is a simple calculation to estimate that if four per cent, of the available cultlvatabie area produces something over 200.000,000 bushels, what will 44 per cent, produce? And then look at the Immigration that Is coming into the country. In 1901 It was 49,149, 17,000 being from the United 8tates; In 1906 it was 189,064, of which 57,000 were Americans, and In 1918 It was about 400,000, of which about 140.000 were Americans. But why have they gone to Canada? The American farm er Is a man of shrewd business in stincts. Just like his Canadian brother, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from |100 to |200 per acre and move into Canada and home stead and pre-empt half a section for himself, and similarly for all his sons who are adult and of age upon lands as rich and fertile as those he left, and producing Indeed several bushels to the acre in excess of anything he has ever known, it will take more than an ordinary effort to prevent him from makintr tho chnnee And then, too, there is the American capital following the capital of brawn, muscle and sinew, following It so as to keep In touch with the Industrious farmer with which It has had dealings for years back. This capital and tho capital of farming experience Is no small matter In the building up of a country. Nothing Is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but little has been touched. No country In the world’s history has attracted to Its borders a larger number of settlers In so short a time, or has attracted so much wealth In a period of equal length, os have tho Canadian prairies. Never before has pioneering been accomplished under conditions so favorable as those that exist In western Canada today.—Ad vertisement, Unmatched. "Miss Oldun appears to be a woman of unuauAl qualities.” “Yes; the absence of suitors long ago convinced her rather that she was matchless.” SccA <%crm&7i VtLada Reliable evidence Is abundant that women are constantly being restored to health by Lydia E. Plnkham’a Vegetable Compound The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub* lishing in the newspapers—hundreds of them—are all genu ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude for the freedom from suffering that has come to these women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any doubt of this write to the women whose true names anq addresses are always given, and learn for yourself. Read this one from Mrs. Waters: 9*?®**** N’J’*—“1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all tho time and used a gal vanio battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go to bed, but spent niv time on a couch or in a sleopinir-ch&ir. and 90011 became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his health, and my husband heard or Lydia E. Pinkham’s vegetable Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now J --—vrrw iwmuia X gui *01104 HI1U X1UW I am like a new woman and ain at my usual weight. I recommend your medicine to every one and so does my husband.”—Mrs. Tir.r.ra Watkus, 1135 Knight St., Camden, N.J. And thls«one from Mrs. Haddock: Utica, Okla.—“I was weak and nervous,not able to do ray wotIi and scarcely able*to bo on my feet. I had backache, headache, palpC totion of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Slnoa taking the Lydia E. IHnkham’s Vegetable Compound I am better than I have been for twenty years. 1 think It is a wonderful medl cine and I have recommended it to others.”—Mrs. Maht Ann h*™. dock, Utica, Oklahoma. Now answer this question if you can. Why should a woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compoiind a trial ? You know that it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case? Fop 30 mra Lydia E. Plnkbam*8 Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for fe male ills. No one sick with woman’s all men is docs Justice to herself if she does not try this fa mous medicine made from roots and herbs, It has restored so many suffering women to health.
