HELPING WHILE WE MAY 
F. W. Paap. 
How many sad hearts there are in this world 
because of the consciousness of having neglected some 
grand opportunities. How surpassingly strange it 
must appear to the angels of glory to see one profess-
ing allegiance to Christ and at the same time largely 
indifferent to the needs (those well within his power 
to supply) of humanity. How few manifest that 
intensity of desire to save sinners that marked the 
life of our Saviour! A burden for the lost will come 
to every one who gives himself wholly to God and 
seeks both by precept and example to live a life wholly 
consecrated to God. God would have us pray for 
the Spirit of Service. This is a gift from God.. We 
can pray—"Help me, oh Lord, to reveal Christ, my 
Saviour. Help me to be true and kind. Help me 
to help somebody today. May my every thought and 
look and action be in full accord with Thy mind. 
Help me to crucify self and be willing to do service 
for God in ways that are not in harmony with inborn 
inclination. God for Christ's sake will hear; and 
we shall be fruitful in the vineyard of the Lord. The 
following story will illustrate this thought: 
'A captain of an ocean-going vessel, one day as 
his ship was speeding through the waters, saw a 
signal of distress some distance off. A glass was 
turned to the spot, and it was seen that there was 
only one man on a piece of wreck. To go to his 
rescue, the ship would have to be stopped and turned 
back in her course, losing much time. 
"' said the captain, 'some other vessel will 
pick him up.' He speeded on and was in port in 
good time, and was commended for his swift passage. 
But he could not get out of his mind the memory of 
that signal of distress out there on the wild seas, and 
the sight through the glass of that one man on the 
piece of wreck left there to perish. By day and night 
that picture haunted him." 
As we are hurrying on these busy days, do we see 
no signals of distress on life's broad sea? Do we 
hear no cries, no bitter wails from souls that are out 
on the angry waves? Do we heed the signals and 
hearken to the cries? Do we turn away from our 
business, our pleasure, our ease, our money-getting, 
our petty ambitions, to carry rescue to those souls 
that are perishing, or that are in sorrow? Or do we 
hurry on and say we have no time for these things, 
no time to save our brothers, no time to lift up fallen 
ones, no time to wipe away a tear? If we do not 
turn aside to help or save, may not our deepest sorrow 
in eternity be the memory of cries of distress un-
heeded? May not the visions of the perishings one 
who called to us for help and got no answer, whom 
we have left unhelped out on the wild waves, haunt 
us forever? 
"Look all around you, find some one in need, 
Help somebody today, 
Though it be little, a neighborly deed, 
Help somebody today. 
Help somebody today, somebody along life's way, 
Let sorrow be ended, the fruitless befriended, 
Oh, help somebody today." 
THE CAMPAIGN AHEAD 
The annual home missionary effort in behalf of 
foreign missions is becoming more and more important, 
and this is as it should be as the needs are increasing 
with every year that passes. How often we hear 
that the Foreign Mission Board were required to cut 
the appropriation to this field, and had to reduce the 
number of workers they intended to send to some other 
field, whose doors were open, and it seemed as if the 
proper time had come to enter it and give the last 
message ever to be given this world, all because there 
was not sufficient funds to carry on the work started, 
to say nothing of enlarging the mission operations. 
Think of it: the last message! In giving the last 
message, no one is excused. "For the Son of man 
is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, 
and gave authority to His servants, and to every 
man his work."—Mark 13:34. There are to be no 
idlers. Everyone can do something and even though 
we are not able to give our entire time to this work 
as some do, more time would be spent if we only 
realized the importance of the work to be done and 
the necessity of each one doing his part. 
In mentioning the Harvest Ingathering for Missions 
many reasons might be given for continuing the plan. 
It brings many thousands of dollars into the mission 
treasury that.otherwise would not find its way into 
such a line of work. Let none say, "I can never go 
out and obtain five dollars, but I will endeavor to 
save that amount and put it in myself." If this 
course is followed other funds will suffer and the work 
along other lines will be neglected. Let each realize 
that personal effort is necessary. One of the import-
ant objects of giving out the papers and soliciting 
offerings from our friends, business acquaintances and 
neighbors, is to familiarize them with the nature of 
the work we are doing and with the progress that is 
being made. 
Soon your missionary secretaries will be writing 
to you concerning plans for the campaign. Too 
much importance cannot be attached to well laid 
plans and thorough organization. As the plans are 
made known let everyone accept them as being the 
results of years of labor gathered from the experiences 
of successful laborers. What we are after is success, 
so let us try anything and everything of a proper 
nature that seems likely to bring it. Judging from 
the reports which reach us, there is every indication 
that our people are going to enter into this campaign 
with greater earnestness and enthusiasm this year 
than ever before. The Harvest Ingathering number 
of The Watchman is certainly very attractive, is filled 
with most interesting articles and reports concerning 
the world-wide work being accomplished by the 
messengers of the gospel, and cannot fail to interest 
those around you.

WESTERN CANADIAN TIDINGS 
We are living today at a time when all the events 
pointed out by inspired prophecy as marking the 
approach of that kingdom that shall stand forever, 
are with but one or two exceptions, in the past. 
Almost the very last sign of its coming was stated by 
the Saviour in the words: "This gospel of the kingdom 
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto 
all nations; and then shall the end come." Matthew 
24:14. The privilege and responsibility of giving this 
message has been committed to us. Active and 
hearty participation in the Harvest Ingathering 
Campaign on the part of every church member will 
be the means of greatly strengthening the work in 
the home field and of advancing it in the regions 
beyond. Who can estimate the possibilities that can 
be realized if the goal of $150,000.00 for foreign mis-
sions is reached. This may seem a large goal to some, 
but it is possible for a people having for their con-
trolling purpose the giving of the Third Angel's 
Message in this generation. Consecration, determin-
ation and organization will enable us to reach the 
goal.

"COMING TO OUR DOORS" 
The other day I was talking with an elderly sister 
about the opportunities for service on the part of some 
of our sisters who cannot leave their homes very often. 
"Oh yes," she remarked, "they are coming to our 
very doors," and she went on to tell me of a vegetable 
man who calls at her door each week. 
One morning he asked our sister about the treat-
ment for pellagra. She gave him some copies of Life 
and Health, in which suggestions were made regarding 
the diet of persons thus afflicted. This information 
was greatly appreciated. Later our sister made up a 
package of Our Little Friend for the man's children. 
Inside these papers she placed certain copies of the 
Signs of the Times—intended for the older members 
of the family. An interest was created. The vegetable 
man offered to carry some Signs of the Times to his 
neighbors. The interest grew and now our sister has 
had to secure help in visiting and instructing the several 
interested families in the valley where the vegetable 
man lives. Results will doubtless follow such seed 
sowing. Let us show ourselves friendly to the trades-
people coming to our doors, speak the warning message 
kindly, and place some reading matter in their hands. 
Here is a mission for every mother in our ranks—
at her own door. 
Brother J. R. Ferren, manager of the Pacific Press 
Branch in Kansas City, wrote us the other day and 
stated that (luring an enthusiastic missionary meeting 
at the recent Colorado ,carrip-meeting many orders were 
given for clubs of the Signs of the Times. Among the 
experiences related was one by Professor H. A. Morri-
son, who with Mrs. Morrison had recently taken a 
number of the Signs of the Times in the College View 
church club. They had sent these to persons who 'had 
purchased Bible Readings from student colporteurs and 
followed with correspondence. One lady in answer to 
Sister Morrison's letter said she thinks the Signs of the 
Times a wonderful paper. "I believe everything that 
the Signs of the Times teaches," she continued, "unless 
it is the Sabbath. I had always believed that Sunday 
was the Sabbath. Now I don't know. I want a chance 
to study. Where can I find a minister? I wish I knew 
who it was that brought me that good book, Bible 
Readings." 
"How wonderfully," adds Brother Ferren, "the vari-
our methods and agencies for reaching people fit to-
gether. The book, the Signs, a personal letter, opens 
the way for the [wonk of a minister if one can be 
secured. Thousands wait to be pointed heavenward 
by the simple lines of home missionary work in which 
everyone can have a part." 
Dear reader, may I 'suggest to you a simple plan 
that hundreds of our people are adopting, and by which 
they are reaching many with the message for the hour? 
Order a little club of the Signs of the Times sent to 
your address each week,—new and. bright and brimful 
of stirring articles on the meaning of current events. 
If you cannot give the circulation of these papers your 
personal attention, arrange for the publishers to mail 
the papers for a period of time to your friends and 
others. This is just the kind of work that is bringing 
daily inquiries and subscriptions to the Signs of the 
Times office from all over the 'land, and which 'doubt-
less will finally result in many definite trophies for the 
kingdom. �

Alberta Conference 
Office Address:—Room 304 I.O.O.F. Building, cor. Sixth Ave. and Centre 
Street West, Calgary, Alberta. 
President, H. H. Humann; Secretary-Treasurer, F. L. Hommel; Educa-
tional and Missionary Volunteer Secretary, Hattie A. Beardsley; Field and 
Missionary Secretary, R. P. Mooney; Sabbath School Secretary, Mrs. H. M.

RECENT VISITS 
On August the 2nd the writer left the office to visit 
some of the Sabbath-schools, and visited seven during 
the time she had to spare until returning to the office, 
when Sabbath-school supplies and letters had to be 
sent off to the different schools, not forgetting the 
isolated members of two hundred and twenty, who 
had to come in for their share of letters and supplies. 
The first school visited was Clive, where I was 
kindly entertained by Brother and Sister Hamilton. 
There we had two meetings, one on the Sabbath, the 
other on Sunday, at the home of Brother and Sister 
Kay. At this meeting plans were laid by which a 
more progressive work might be done along all lines. 
Several expressed their interest in the plans as they 
were presented. While at Clive, Brother and Sister 
Hamilton drove me in their car to visit some of our 
isolated members. It was a mutual pleasure to 
meet, and some pleasant experiences came to us while 
visiting. 
The next week we went to Gadsby? Here we have 
two Sabbath-schools, but a distance of eight miles 
separates them, and so they united their forces for 
that day, and as they would not be able to meet on 
the Sunday, the Sabbath-school was taken up in the 
usual way, and the after meeting was taken up by the 
Conference Sabbath-school secretary. A deep in-
terest was manifested, as matters were presented for 
the first time for their consideration : The goal; the 
birthday box; the picture roll and other helps for 
raising funds for their foreign mission work. All 
promised to be faithful in the future. 
The next week we visited Bismark Sabbath-school, 
and when the Sabbath-school was reached, we found 
that three schools had united. These members, too, 
expressed their appreciation in those things that were 
presented. As Elder Humann had motored up from 
Lacombe to Bismark (a distance of about forty miles) 
WESTERN CANADIAN TIDINGS �

to administer the ordinances of the Lord's House, a 
most spiritual and profitable Sabbath was spent. 
There are quite a number of young people among 
the company at this place, and I was truly glad to 
see so many of them go forward and partake in the 
ordinances. This was a good index to the spiritual 
standing of the church and school at this place. I 
believe that the courage of these believers was 
strengthened and that they will be faithful to the 
Lord through all the trying experiences they may be 
called upon to go through. 
Sunday, August the 20th, was spent with the little 
company at Ponoka, these, too, seemed to be of good 
courage. After stopping off at Didsbury and staying 
over one night with Brother and Sister Nixon, also 
having the pleasure of visiting some of our isolated 
members along the way. I arrived at the office after 
an absence of three weeks. 
I feel sure our Sabbath-schools will begin to plan 
for a larger increase in their schools, and their offer-
ings will increase in proportion. The time has now 
come for us to arise and finish the work the Lord has 
committed to us to do, and the Lord will abundantly 
bless those that are faithful 
Yours in the finishing of the work,

COMPEER 
The brethren of this place are of good courage and 
are finding much interest in conducting their Sabbath 
school and services without the presence of a worker. 
The missionary spirit has taken hold of them. This 
is especially shown by their liberal offerings for mis-
sions. 
I have commenced an effort at New Bridgen about 
20 miles west of here and about the same distance 
southeast of Monitor. The first service was held 
Sunday night, August 12th. There were about 75 
present besides eight of our Compeer company, who 
came in cars. The prospects of a harvest of -souls 
in New Bridgen, I should say is very good. Many 
who were out to the first service had not attended 
church for years. 
Last week I visited two of our Russian brethren 
at Maryland and found them in the best of spirits. 
Many of their neighbors, fellow-countrymen, are 
seriously considering the Sabbath truth. This is 
the result of work done by Brother Babienco last 
winter. The influence has extended to the English 
neighbors also. One with whom I had a Bible read-
ing seems almost about to keep the Sabbath. 
Our Compeer brethren have a few prospective 
Sabbath keepers as a result of their personal labors. 
Although there are some retractions, the Message is 
making definite progress.

WHILE SERVING THE KING 
Aug. 9th I left Bro. Person's at Burnt Lake to visit 
Bro. and Sister Sherman, who live four miles east of 
Bowden. Also visited a family Who for some years 
observed the Sabbath, but having no one visit them, 
they became discouraged and gave it up. However, 
they still believe it as much as ever, and were glad to 
see me. They said, "We thought you had given us 
up too and would not come to see us any more." I 
told them I had never given them up, and even if I 
should, God would not. The mother subscribed for 
the "Signs" and "Life and Health." They said, "If 
we can sell our farm we are going to Lacombe and 
send our children to school." This shows how neces-
sary it is for us to visit the people. 
I stopped with Bro. Ness at Didsbury and attended 
the Sabbath-school there. They had a nice Sabbath-
school and all seemed to take good interest in the 
lesson. 
I sold about thirteen "Word War" at Crossfield 
and when I was nearly ready to go a man whom I 
was showing the pamphlet to said "Don't you know 
you cannot sell here unless you have a license?" 
"No," I said. Then he took me into an office where 
two men were writing, to whom I had shown the 
pamphlet before. The policeman said, "This man 
has been selling books here without a license." I 
told them I did not know I had to have a license 
except in the cities, like Calgary and Edmonton. One 
of the men said, "Yes, if a village makes such a law, 
you must have a license." "Well, I am not going to 
sell any more if that is so," said I. So he said to 
the policeman, "When he isn't going to sell any 
more, you better let him go." I went, thanking God 
that there are still some upright people. 
Brethren, this shows what we are coming to. We 
were told many years ago, "What we should have 
done in time of peace, but beglected, we would have 
to do in the time of trouble and I would say to 
everyone who reads these words, in the name of 
Jesus, commence to do whatsoever you can around 
your home. Read the Bible to some person, pray 
with them and for them, and give them something 
to read about our Message. That is if they will 
listen, and tell them of the everlasting love of God 
and how willing He is to accept us when we come to 
Him. 
What shall we do, brothers and sisters, when all 
things are closed up and it is impossible to do the 
things which we have neglected to do when the 
opportunity was given? Our ministers cannot do 
all, and if they could, where would your part come 
in, which we must all do. May the Spirit of God be 
given us all to be willing and anxious to do this small 
thing for Jesus, when He promises to go with us. 
Pray for me and the work. 
WALSH AND SHULER 
It was our privilege to visit the brethren at Walsh 
and to find some interested ones. We stayed here 
a while to present the Truth in clear tones, and thank 
the Lord for results as wages for our labor. From 
here we went to Shuler. 
At first a few difficulties were experienced, but by 
faithful prayer and labor the Lord helped us to 
accomplish something definite. Sabbath the 25th, 
we had baptism and also organised a Sabbath-school 
of fifteen members. There is a good interest for the 
truth, but everybody is busy harvesting, so we thought 
it best to leave this field for the present, hoping and 
praying that toe Lord will keep His children faithful 
until He comes. 
May God help us all to do our part in His great 
work, is our prayer. 
"The world is languishing for want of young men 
and women who live the life that counts. Will you

WESTERN CANADIAN TIDINGS 
WINNIFRED AND COMPEER 
On Sabbath, July 14th, it was my privilege to meet 
with the church at Winnifred. This being a day set 
apart for the quarterly service, the Lord came very 
near, and it was a clay of thanksgiving and praise to 
God. The brethren -were greatly rejoiced that two 
precious souls were added to the church, being bap-
tized at the Lacombe camp-meeting. Others are ex-
pected soon to unite with them in church fellowship. 
All testified to the goodness of God and expressed 
their determination to be true to God and faithful to 
the message they love so much. On Sunday they 
proved their loyalty by ordering a club of 35 Signs in 
addition to what they 'were already taking. 
Brother Mooney was present and gave a very in-
structive talk, calling attention to "God's plan for 
every church member to be a live missionary, and the 
blessings that will flow into the 'church 'when His plan 
is followed." We are sure God will bless these 
brethren as they unite their efforts in trying to bring 
'this message to their neighbors and friends. 
'From this place I 'went to Compeer, where I spent 
two Sabbaths, July 21st and 28th, with this new com-
pany. These brethren- dove the truth and God's word 
is indeed precious to them. The Lord came very near 
as we met together on these occasions and consecrated 
our lives to Him. On Sabbath, July 28th, six of these 
good people were -buried, with their Lord in baptism, 
after which the ordinances of the Lord's house Were 
celebrated. This being the first time they had ever 
seen this solemn service. Altogether it was a good day. 
Others at this place are expected soon to be ready for 
baptism and unite with these dear people. Three of 
the young people plan to be in school on the opening 
day. 
Brother Stanley is still in this locality and we trust 
that the Lord will greatly bless the work, and that our 
new brethren will prove to be a blessing to the cause 
of God, to one another and to the neighborhood, in 
which they live. 
Pray for the work, brethren, that it may soon be 
finished and that a quick work may be done in the 
earth. �

OBITUARY 
Addie Ethel (Malone) Higgins, was born at Ports-
mouth, New Hampshire on the 18th of February, 
1875, and died August 21st, 1917; at the Misercordia 
Hospital, Edmonton, Alta., being over forty-two years 
of age. She was the happy mother of five children, 
three sons and two daughters, and was kind and 
patient to her children, also a loving companion to 
her husband. She has been a great sufferer for about 
three years and has endured it patiently without 
murmuring. We had earnest prayer with this dear 
sister and after due counsel it was decided that she 
have an operation, but it proved fatal. She submitted 
her life into God's hands before,going to the operating 
table. 
Her husband is a son of our dear Brother and Sister 
Higgins, and although he has never took his stand 
with us as a people, his conviction seems this way. 
We hope and pray that this sad experience may be 
the means of helping him to find life eternal. 
The deceased was a member of the Free Methodist 
Church. May God help us all to meet in the final 
gathering time. Words of comfort and instruction 
were spoken by the Free Methodist minister Mr. 
Heath, and the writer.

WORLD WAR NOTES 
Perhaps these items should be included in the 
regular news notes columns, but the matter is so 
important that I am going to ask the Editor to allow 
it to be inserted with the larger type articles. 
Orders have been coming in so encouragingly that 
a few days ago I despatched a wire for 250 copies. 
These have arrived and have all gone to different 
parts of the province. Another shipment, however, 
is on the way from Calgary. Brother. Carpenter, 
from our farthest north church, writes as follows: 
"Last week you wrote to our leader, Brother T. 
Astleford, about Facts About the War, and his 
daughter, Sister Millie Astleford, has passed your 
letter on to us. I am sending you a club order for 
$3.50, You may get another order from others. I 
have the book and think it is the book for the time 
in which we live. Please send by mail." 
This certainly 'is encouraging. That letter arrived 
yesterday, and today 100 copies have been taken by 
members of the Maple Street Chruch. Over 40 copies 
altogether have gone to Brother T. Lambert at 
Ashcroft, and 50 copies were shipped the other day 
to Cumberland, where they will be disposed of by 
Sister W. C. White. Brother J. H. Lambert is plac-
ing some in the hands of the people on Read Island. 
The members in Victoria have enjoyed good exper-
iences with this book. Many others are taking hold 
of the opportunity in earnest and altogether I believe 
we are enjoying some good experiences in meeting 
the people, and what is better still, we may expect 
to see souls saved as a result. 
T. S. Bowett. 
NOTICE 
By the time this issue of the Tidings reaches its 
readers, it is expected that Elder and Mrs. Gilbert 
and family will have arrived in British Columbia. 
I am sure that all our people join in extending to 
them a hearty welcome as they take up their respon-
sibilities in this new field. All mail intended for the 
president of this conference should now be addressed 
to Elder A. C. Gilbert at the office address. 
T. S. Bowett.

BAPTISM IN WINNIPEG 
Our hearts rejoice as we see more and more people 
coming with the desire to follow their Lord in bap-
tism. It is to us the assurance that Jesus is yet 
interceding in the heavenly sanctuary for sinners. 
Five adults went forward last Sabbath in the ordin-
ance of baptism, making twenty in all since we came 
here, and more are anxious for the time to come when 
they may join the believers of the Third Angel's 
Message. 
We have been greatly blessed in our Sunday night 
services. Our hall has been well filled to hear the 
prophecies touching the papacy and her aims to 
become arbiter among the nations. One Catholic 
lady has come out and is keeping the Sabbath. The 
Orangemen have been good help to us in this place, 
as they are well acquainted with the papal regime. 
Let our brethren and sisters remember us before the 
Throne of Grace and Mercy as we wrestle against 
the powers of this wicked world, that the Message 
may soon be finished and every honest soul heard the 
call.

A SYNOPSIS OF THE WORK 
Since camp-meeting I have been busily engaged in 
visiting several points in the province, and packing 
and crating our household goods so they could be 
shipped to British Columbia. While writing this we 
are travelling on the train to Vancouver. 
The places visited after camp-meeting were Hanley, 
Macrorie, Battleford Academy,McLean, Regina and 
Regina Beach. At Hanley we found several new 
Sabbath keepers added to the company there. Pastor 
Mackintosh has held a few meetings at this place, and 
as a result of the combined efforts of Brother Rowse 
and family, several persons were baptized on Sunday, 
the 29th of July. If a few more accept the truth at 
Hanley there will be a sufficient number to organize a 
church. 
A pleasant and profitable time was spent at Mac-
rorie, Sabbath and Sunday, August 4 and 5. The 
church at this place has done a splendid work along 
all lines of gospel endeavor. They just completed a 
beautiful church building, which was dedicated 
Sunday, the 5th. This building is a credit to the 
community in which it is situated. It is neat in 
design, nicely decorated and trimmed, furnished with 
comfortable seats, and suitably equipped with lights, 
organ and other conveniences. It was dedicated free 
from debt. Many interested friends were present at 
the dedicatory service, in which Pastors J. V. Maas 
and M. Mackintosh assisted. 
Our last visit at the school was a pleasant one. 
Those in charge of the work there are doing splendidly 
and are pushing forward the work on both farm and 
buildings as fast as is possible with limited help and 
money. Bro. Perry Finkle is still in charge of the 
work on the buildings. Bro. Wm. McCready has 
been asked to take charge of the school farm. Bros. 
Maas, who has been rendering faithful service to the 
school in looking after the farm, is moving to British 
Columbia, where the moderate climate will be more 
agreeable to his health. This brother and his family 
will be missed in Saskatchewan, but when health is 
at stake we cannot stand in the way. May God 
bless Pastor Maas with restored health. Brother 
McCready has been laboring in the ministry and 
has sure been doing acceptable work, but on account 
of his health he has felt that he must go on to a farm 
for a year or so, and consequently the Conference 
Committee invited him to take Brother Maas' place. 
Brother McCready has had experience in this kind 
of work before and is taking hold energetically and 
whole-heartedly. Let us not forget these workers 
at the school, but pray for them often, and send in 
the money as soon as possible that the work there be 
not delayed. 
When at the Academy, the Board decided to break 
considerable land for growing feed and other grain 
crops. Bro. D. D. Neufeld is doing this work with 
his steam outfit. It may be of interest to our people 
to know that we have now secured about 300 acres 
of hay and grazing land from the Dominion Govern-
ment. This is one and a half miles from the school. 
We have this hay land leased for ten years at two 
cents per acre. We have greatly appreciated the 
assistance on the part of the Dominion Government 
to make our school a success. 
The various lines throughout the province are 
moving , along well. Our workers, including the 
colporteurs, are all busy and are finding fruit for their 
labor. May God bids all our people as they pray 
and labor for souls. The golden grain of humanity 
is ripening fast, and soon the harvest will be past. 
Let each one do his part in bringing in the sheaves. 
A. C. Gilbert.

BATTLEFORD ACADEMY 
The friends of the Academy will be pleased to 
know that we have secured a grazing lease on two 
hundred and eighty-four acres of land fronting on the 
Saskatchewan River. The brethren made applica-
tion for this land over a year ago. There were other 
applicants, some of whom were quite influential and 
it seemed at one time that we would fail to get it. 
As a last resort we invited the Battleford Board of 
Trade to visit our school and asked Elder Gilbert to 
be present. The gentlemen seemed very much pleased 
with the school. They were especially interested in 
our substantial, tastefully finished, and furnished 
building, and promised to throw their influence in 
our favor. One of the party, who is a Catholic, 
offered to accompany Elder Gilbert and myself to 
an interview with the Member of Parliament, who is 
also a Catholic. This kind offer was accepted and 
acted upon the next day, and the result was a promise 
to secure the land for us. The president of the Board 
of Trade and another leading man wrote personal 
letters to the Minister of the Interior. 
This land is nearly all free from bush and is all 
level. Some of it is swampy but it can be easily 
drained into the river. The lease is for ten years at 
two cents per acre per year. Our first lease is for 
565 acres for twenty-one years at one cent per acre 
per year. Hence this 849 acres of land when fully 
developed will, if properly handled, become a large 
resource to the Academy. 
We are much favored at the present time by having 
Bro. Neufield with his steam tractor plowing for us. 
He has completed about forty acres of our bottom 
land and is now on our east quarter of bush land. We 
are glad to have this put under cultivation. The 
carpenters are busy finishing our building and Bro. 
Finkle is getting the coal cellar ready. The outlook 
WESTERN CANADIAN TIDINGS • �

for our Academy is in every way encouraging. We the hare and the tortoise. "It is not brain power 
hope to have a large company of consecrated young 
people in attendance this coming year. 
If any have not yet received a calendar, I will be 
pleased to mail one upon request. Will be very glad 
to receive the address of any young person who ought 
to be interested in obtaining a Christian education. 
C. B. Hughes.

WHAT ABOUT BATTLEFORD ACADEMY? 
Yes, what about it? Are you going to do your 
part? It depends upon you, young man, or young 
woman, for we cannot do anything unless we have the 
young people to make up the school. It depends on 
you, whoever you are, old or young, to give us your 
support and interest, for this is your school. The 
success of the coming year will depend largely on 
your co-operation. 
It is dow only about two months until school starts, 
so it is time to plan definitely for the school year 
which is before us. We want a large number of 
earnest young people, who are desirious of putting 
themseves in training for the finishing of the work. 
The urgent needs of the home and foreign fields are 
calling loudly for help. Are you going to come and 
place yourself under Christian instruction? You can 
begin now to plan. Don't let seeming difficulties 
hold you back. Crops may be light, and some cir-
cumstances apparently unfavorable, but plan to go 
to school just the same. The times are getting 
harder each year. We have no promise of an easier 
time. The call of the hour is for those who are willing 
to lay aside every consideration except the finishing 
of the Lord's work. To such, no difficulty will be 
unsurmountable. 
And what about you, fathers and mothers? What 
about that boy or girl who could be turned into paths 
of service by the sacrifice of a few coveted plans? 
Are you willing to alter your well laid plans in order 
that they may be placed in a Christian school? The 
times demand such sacrifices as this; and only such 
will ever accomplish the work committed to our hands. 
We must have recruits. They must come from the 
ranks of the young people. The number now in 
school is far too small to fill the calls. We must 
have more volunteers in training for a great forward 
movement. Is your boy or girl to be among the 
number? We trust many will respond this year who 
never have before. Very soon the calls will cease to 
come. Surely no one wishes to be left out. Let all 
plan and pray for the many young people in our 
Conference. �

MEASURING SUCCESS IN THE COLPORTEUR 
WORK 
It was with varied feelings that the colporteurs 
entered the field this year, and of course many feared 
the beginning. Some aimed high and definitely, 
and it is at this time of year that we begin to see the 
reward of our work. Some wonderful records have 
been made in the Union Conference territory. When 
this branch of the Message was new such records were 
unheard of. However, the class of men engaged in 
it meant business. They kept in mind the heavenly 
records. Are we as constant, as satisfied, as faithful, 
dear workers, as were those who pioneered the way? 
I used to be overjoyed with a record report, but 
it is not large records for a short time that count. 
It is the average records for a full season's work. 
It is the steady grind, and often the race between 
alone that is needed but heart power." Vol. 5, page 
372. Another writer says, "It is the union of the 
divine and the human that gives power to the gospel 
salesman." It is the motive that counts. If the 
ultimate object of this great work is borne in mind 
our way will be prosperous and "then thou shalt 
have good success." Joshua 1:8. 
You may question, "How does 1917 compare with 
other years in the book work?" It compares well. 
Outward conditions have been promising in many 
places, but "our prospects are as bright as God's 
promises." The present days are golden oppor-
tunities. When the enymy is forming definite plans 
for the hindrance of the Message we may push right 
on. Great Leaders are disagreeing on momentous 
questions. Colporteurs, shall we not be united and 
press the battle to the gates? The nations are per-
plexed and individuals show anxiety. We can speak 
of these very things when approaching the people, 
and many will listen attentively. 
Now we are in the busy season of the year—har-
vesting and threshing. This gives us no reason to 
stop. We will have to quicken our paces too. It 
has often been proved that the most successful can-
vasser averages as well during the busy season as at 
any other time. 
A number have taken hold of the truth this year 
as the direct result of faithful effort on the part of 
the canvasser. Success is not always measured by 
dollars and cents. If we fear financial failure it 
usually means spiritual failure. The measure of true 
success is found in staying by the work when others 
are falling out. It is found in recognizing God as 
the great leader. 
Canvassing is not a preparation for a life-work. 
It is a life-work. "God calls the canvassers back to 
their work." (Manual for Canvassers.) However, 
this work has aided ministers, teachers and others in 
fitting themselves efficiently for their profession. 
Many successful missionaries have at one time 
engaged in the book work, before they were called to 
fields beyond. The measure of our success in the 
canvassing work will in a large degree measure our 
success in other branches of labor in this cause. 
,We fail •to get into many homes when the canvass 
becomes dry and uninteresting. Let us revise our 
canvasses; study our prospectus for new points of 
worth and we may be sure the people will recognize 
our whole-heartedness and enthusiasm in every word 
uttered. Let us not feel despondent over the results 
of our efforts. If we do our best, eternity will be 
fraught with precious experiences. The true measure 
of success in this world-wide, soul-winning effort of 
approaching people through the printed page, is held 
in store for the future. "Have respect unto the 
recompense of the reward." Heb. 11 :26.—Robt. Kitto.

"To the praying Christian, the chief business of life 
is to save souls; and it should be. God has not made 
the salvation of this lost world a secondary business; 
neither should we." 
"When a soul is much with God, sin becomes ex-
ceedingly sinful, and a great desire is kindled to over-
come it. Temptations lose their power. The mask is 
torn off the face of the tempter, .who no longer appears 
as an angel of light. The secret springs of strength 
give victory in the struggle with passion and appetite." 
"Oh, do not pray for easy lives ; pray to be stronger 
men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; 
pray .for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing 
of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a 
miracle. Every day, you shall wonder at yourself, at 
the richness of life which has come to you by the grace 
of God." 
"When Florence Nightingale heard the call to defi-
nite service she chose to forsake the so-called luxuries, 
of life and give her time to the sufferers of the Crimean 
war. A young man heard the same call, and when 
asked.why he was going to Japan as a missionary, he 
replied, 'Because I feel it is the best investment I can 
make of my life.' " 
NEWS ITEMS 
Elder and Sister Gilbert, with their daughter Marjorie, left 
Saskatoon on the 9th of August for British Columbia. They 
planned to visit a few friends on their way west and expected 
to arrive at their destination towards the end of the month. 
I am sure we were all sorry to see them go, but wish them God-
speed and abundant blessings in their new field of labor. 
Elder Mackintosh has been visiting the believers in the 
southern part of the province and reports very encouragingly 
of his e$orts there. Several people are expected to be ready for 
baptism shortly, and we hope to have the pleasure of becoming 
acquainted with the interested ones. 
Elder Clemenson and his workers are laboring hard in Saska-
toon. The attendance of their meetings Sunday evenings 
varies from one to three hundred. 
Brother Maas has been invited by the British Columbia 
Conference to help them out in the German work, and as his 
health has not been very good here, he accepted, thinking per-
haps the change of climate will be better. He has been a 
faithful worker and leaves many friends behind him. Sister 
Maas and children are spending a few days with their folks in 
Dundurn before leaving for British Columbia. 
A happy surprise was arranged by the brethren at the Academy 
for Brother Perry Finkle and his bride upon their return to 
Battleford after being married by Elder Gilbert at McLean. 
We wish the couple many happy days. 
Brother F. L. Hommel, the Union Auditor, spent several 
days in Battleford auditing the books of the Academy. Brother 
Wissner spent some time in the interest of the work there also. 
To those who have ordered the book "Food and Cookery" 
at camp-meeting, we wish to say it has gone out of print, but 
another edition will be out as early as possible. The books will 
be mailed to the parties concerned directly they are ready. 
One of the most critical periodts of life is that period 
which is spent in school. To be of best service in later 
years the child not only needs proper training, but his • 
health in all phases must have proper care. 
To many this problem is a difficult one, but those who 
read the September "Life and, Health," which is school 
number, will secure much information of value in helping 
to preserve and build up the health of the growing school 
child. Some of the topics treated are: "Home Health 'Train-
ing of the School 'Child," "Relation of Tonsils and Adenoids 
to Health," "The School Child's Lunch Basket," "The Care 
of Children's Byes at (Home and in School." 
Ten cents will bring this most excellent number to you.
