Ail of Specified Age Must Respond
on June 5 to Call of
Nation.
QUERIES TO BE ANSWERED
Government Has Issued Circular#
Making It Easier for Those Who
Register to Respond to Inter*
rogations That Will
Be Made.
There Is but one answer to every
question asked regarding registration,
and It is this:
"Every man between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty years, inclusive,
whether native born, an allen, or even
an alien enemy, must register June 5.
This applies also to invalids and per-
sons who are ill. A man Is thirty until
his thirty-llrst birthday anniversary."
The government has adopted a plan
to facilitate and simplify the filling In
of conscription registration cards June
6. Circulars containing the twelve
questions to be asked and advice as to
how they should be answered have
been prepared for distribution.
Answers to the Questions.
The circular, which bears the head-
ing, "IIow to Answer Questions on
Registration Cards," reads as follows:
"Questions will be asked for you to
answ er in the order In which they ap-
pear on this paper.* These questions
are set out below with detailed Infor-
mation to help you answer them.
"Do not write on, mark or otherwise
mutilate these Instructions. Do not rc-
jnove them. They should be carefully
read so that you will have your an-
swers ready when you go before the
registrar.
"All answers will be written on the
registration card in ink by, the regis-
trar, who should be careful to spell all
names correctly and to write legibly.
"1. Name in full. Age in years,
"This means all your names spelled
out in full.
"State your age today la years only.
Disregard additional months or days,
lie prepared to say 'nineteen' or
'twenty-live,' not 'nineteen years
three month* or the like.
"2. Home address. .
"This meens the place where you
have your permanent home, not the
place where you work. Be prepared
to give the address In this way: *2112
Main Street Chicago, Cook county, Il-
linois;' that is, give number and name
of street first, then tow,n, then county
and state.
Have Birthday Date Ready.
"Date of birth.
"Write your birthday (month, day
and year) on a piece of paper before
going to the registrar and give the pa-
per to him the first thing. Example:
'August 5, 1804.'
"If you do not remember the year,
start to answer ns you would if some-
one asked you your birthday, as 'Au-
gust 5.' Then say, 'on my birthday
this year I will be (or was) years
old.' The registrar will then fill lu
the year of birth. Many people do not
carry In mind the year they were
born. This may be obtained by the
registrar by subtracting the age in
years ou this year's birthday from
1917.
"4. Are you (1) a natural born cltl-
«en; (2) A naturalized citizen; (3) au
allen; (4) or have you declared your
Intention to become a citizen (specify
which) ?
"(I) If you were born In the United
States, Including Alaska and Hawaii,
you are a natural born citizen, no mat-
ter what may have been the citizen-
ship or nationality of your parents. If
you were born In I'orto Rico you are a
citizen of the United States, unless
you were born of allen parentage. If
you were born abroad, you are still a
citizen of the United States, If your
father was a citizen of the United
States at the time you were born, un-
less you have expatriated yourself.
"(2) You are a naturalized citizen If
you have completed your naturaliza-
tion: that is, if you have 'taken final
papers.' Hut you are not a citizen If
you have only declared your Intention
to become a citizen (that Is, If you
have only 'taken out first papers'); lu
the latter case you are only a 'declar-
ant.'
"You are also a naturalized citizen
If, although foreign born, your father
or surviving parent became fully nat-
uralized while you were under twenty-
one years of age, and If you came to
the United States under twenty-one.
"(3) You are a declarant If, although
n citizen or subject of some foreign
country, you have declared oil oath be-
fore a naturalization court your Inten-
tion to become a citizen of the United
States. Receipt from the clerk of the
court of the certified copy of such
declaration Is often called 'taking out
first papers.' You are not a declarant
If your first paper was taken out after
September 28, 1000, and Is more than
seven years old.
"(4) You art: an allen If you do not
fall within one of the three classes
above mentioned.
6. Where were you born?
"First uame the town, then the state,
then the country, as 'Columbus, O.;'
'Vienna. Austria;' 'l'arls, France;'
'Sofia, Bulgaria.'
« "0. If not n citizen, of what country
ure you a citizen or subject?"
"This need be answered only by
■liens and dcclurants. Remember that
the United States. If an allen or de-
clarant, state the name of your coun-
try, as 'France,' 'Japan,' 'China,' etc.
What Is Your Job Right Now?
"7. What is your present trade, oc-
cupation or office?
"This does not ask what you once
did, nor what you have done most of
the time, nor what you are best fitted
to do. It asks what your Job Is right
now. State briefly, ns farmer, miner,
student, laborer (on farm, In rolling
mill, in automobile, wagon or other fac-
tory, etc. If you hold an office under
state or federal government, name the
office you hold.
"If you are In one of the following
offices or employments, use one of the
names hereafter mentioned: 'Custom
house clerk, 'employed In the transmis-
sion of the mails,' or 'employed In an
nrmory, arsenal or navy yard, 'mar-
iner actually employed In the sen serv-
ice of citizen or merchant within the
United States.'
"8. By whom employed? Where em-
ployed?
"If you are working for nn individ-
ual, firm, corporation or association
stnte its name. If in business, trade,
profession or employment for yourself,
so state. If you are an officer of the
state or federal government say wheth-
er your office Is under the United
States, the state, the county or a mu-
nicipality. In answer to the question
as to where you nre employed give! the
town, county and state where you
work.
"0. Have you a father, mother, wife,
child under twelve or a sister or broth-
er under twelve solely dependent upon
you for support (specify which):
"Consider your answer thoughtfully.
If It is true that there Is another
mouth than your own which you alone
have a duty to feed do not let your
military ardor interfere with the wish
of the nation to reducy war's misery to
a minimum. On the other hand, unless
the person you have in mind is solely
dependent ou you do not hide behind
pettlconts or children.
"10. Married or single (which)?
Race (specify which) ?
"This does not ask whether you
were once married, but whether you
are married now. In answer to the
question as to your race state briefly

Malayan or Indian.
Must State Past Military Service.
"11. What military service have you
had? Rank? Branch? Years? Na-
tion or state?
"No matter what country you
served, you must give complete infor-
mation. In nnswering these questions
first name your rank, using one of the
following words: 'Commissioned offi-
cer,' 'noncommissioned officer,' 'pri-
vate.' Next, state branch in which you
served lu one of the following words:
'Infantry,' 'cavalry,' 'artillery,' 'medi-
cal,' 'signal,' 'aviation,' 'supply,' 'ma-
rine,' 'navy.' Next, state the number
of yeart' service, not counting time
spent In the reserve. Finally, name
the nation or state you served. If you
served under the United States or one
of the states of the United States,
name your service in one of the fol-
lowing terms: 'National Guard' (of
such and such a state), 'militia' (of
such and such a state), 'volunteers of
United Stntes' or 'regular army (navy)
of United States.'
"12. Do you claim exemption from
draft? Specify grounds.
"Because you claim exemption from
draft, It by no means follows that you
ure exempt. For the Information of
the wnr department you should mnke
a claim now If you Intend to prosecute
It. Some persons will be exempted on
account of their occupations or offices,
some on account of the fact that they
have relatives dependent upon them
for support. Your answer touching
these things will be Important in sup-
porting the claim you now Intend to
make In your answer to the present
questions. Be sure, therefore, that
the grounds you now state are In con-
formity with your answers to ques-
tions 7 and 8.
"In stating grounds you claim as ex-
empting you use one of the following
terms: If you claim to be an execu-
tive, legislative or Judicial officer of
tlie state or nation, name your offlc*
and say whether It is an office of the-
state or nation. If you claim to be a
member of a religious sect whose creed
forbids Its members to participate In
war In any form, simply name the sect.
If you are employed in the transmis-
sion of the United States malls or as
an artificer or workman in an armory,
arsenal or navy yard of the United
States, or If you are a mariner em-
ployed In the sea service of any citi-
zen or merchant within the United
States, so state. If you are a felon or
otherwise morally deficient and desire
to claim exemption on that ground,
state your ground briefly. If you
claim physical disability, state that
briefly. If you claim exemption on
any other ground, state your grouud
briefly."

As a Professing Christian What |
Do I Stand For in the
Kingdom?
There Is one problem which we, as
Christian people, must face and may
solve. Where do we stand in these
times? Put in u personal way, "What
do I stand for In the Christian cause?"
The future of Chrlstiun Ideals and ef-
fectiveness Is an individual problem—
when we know what the individual
will do, we know what all will do, and
what Christianity stands for and will
do through us. Each of us can find
himself, come out in the open, and
stand up and be counted.
This, therefore. Is the problem, how
to translate our Christian faith into
life and character which are able to
meet new conditions and stand for the
truths which are .never old nor out-
worn. It is our Ideals which are chang-
ing with our conditions. If this were
to exalt our ideals, then the change
would be.progress. We fear, however,
that this is not true. Something is
lacking, becoming blurred, to some of
us. It is the sense of some sharp,
clear, gripping Christianity which con-
stitutes the sign of alarming weakness
on the part of many who once enlisted
for Christ.
Communicants in Name Only.
We have so many coiuinunicauts who
are communicants in name otny. In
the countries now at war if a man
counted for no more and contributed
as little to the needs of his country
as these people count for or strength-
en Christianity, he would be called a
"slacker," and most Justly. It is a
"sleeping sickness," the loss of spirit-
ual grip, the indulgence of a liberality
in Christian conceptions which ends in
the loss of biting conscience and liv-
ing convictions.
Doctor Horton's allegory is not in-
apposite as descriptive of those who.
In the decline of religious conscious-
ness, are missing at roll call. "The
Spirit of Modern Progress one day
called up a human being and finding
him discontented gave light, modern
plumbing, telephones, telegraphs, motor
cars, comic operas, and steam yachts.
Then said the Spirit, 'Do you desire
still more?' and the human being re-
plied, 'Y#s, make my religion more
comfortable,' 'That Is simplicity it-
self,' answered the Spirit, and there-
upon he gave the human being magnifi-
cent churches, good preachers, nnd 20-
niinute sermons. 'And now,' asked the
Spirit, 'are you satisfied at last, or is
there something else yet lacking to
your happiness?' 'Yes,' was the an-
swer, 'my conscience troubles mo,
make that comfortable.'
Took Away the Personal Devil.
" That js the easiest thing of all,'
said the Spirit. And thereupon he'did
away with the personal devil and gave
the human being an easy-going sum-
mer and a hell that makes a
comfortable winter-resort. At that
the human being fell back In his easy
chair, and remarked: 'Really, my
dear Spirit, you have. made my re-
ligion so comfortable that I.shall hard-
ly need to think of It,' and he burled
himself In the Sunday newspaper."
What of the future? Continued hope-
fulness to all who keep their faith and
their mission. Let each find the an-
swer to the question, "If I am baptized,
what obligation rests upon me?" As
well ask, "If I enlist In the army, what
Is expected of a soldier?" Is it to be
an army minus or an army plus? "Is
the church any stronger because I be-
long to her?" It would seem to be too
elementary to go further and ask, "If
I am confirmed, why?" "If I am a com-
municant, why?" No one can answer
these questions for another, he must
answer them in and for and to him-
self.—Rt. Rev. C. E. Woodcock, D.D.

LESSON FOR JUNE 3
Only One Day to Register.
The war department wishes to inv
press *Hwn the peopie ^ that ^ there Js j frtoii.l!" 11 is' perhnps, when "we him
i met with disappointment with an earth
There la the "Friend That Sticketh
Closer Than a
Brother."
Could words, mere words, adequately
describe the infinite, merciful, forgiv-
ing love of the "Friend that Sticketh
closer than a brother?" Oh, the depths
of the riches both of the wisdom and
knowledge of God!-how unsearchable
are bis Judgments and his ways past
finding out!
Who then can express the Inexpress-
ible wonder of the love of God? And
yet, there are times in our life when
we feel we must try to speak of it;
when not to speak would seem disloy-
alty to our friend; times when we
have, ns It were, sounded the fathom-
less deep, sealed the vertiginous
heights of the love of God, when we
must exclaim with awe: "Lord, what
is man that thou art mindful of him?"
"Lord, I am not worthy of the least of
these thy mercies."
The friend that sticketh closer than
brother, the one, true, unfailing
only one day for registration. All
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set. The fact
that five days were allowed for the
placing of the necessary blank forms
lu the hands of registrars appears to
have misled some headline writers.
One day only—the day fixed lu the
president's proclamation—will be de-
voted to registration.
States In Rivalry for Honor.
Not only has the Irjllvldual citizenry
of the country made 4 remarkable re-
sponse to tlie registration call, but the
states through their official heads have
Indicated such zeul that there Is great
rivalry among some of the common-
wealths for the honor of making the
friend, that, turning to our heavenly
friend, we see more clearly the pure
light of ills love, with Its manifold and
glorious rays. Perfect understanding,
hence perfect sympathy; perfect
knowledge, hence perfect patb*nce; yes
perfect love, unworthy though we be!
S'hall w not pray that to us may be
granted the burning vision of his per-
fect love, that we may patiently
await the" time when we shall know as
we are known, and love even us we are
loved?—Living Church.
JESUS BETRAYED AND DENIED, j
LESSON TEXT-John 18:1-11,' 15-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—lie was despised and
rejected of men.—Isa. 53:3.
In teaching this lesson to some of |
the younger classes, emphasis might be I
placed upon the dramatic scene in the |
garden of Gethsemane, and Peter's de-
nial at the fire. In some of the inter-
mediate classes the scholars might be
asked to write short, one-minute es-
says, describing the scene as though I
they, themselves, were present. For
the adUlt classes of course the central
theme Is the way that Christ's follow- |
ers neglect him today even as the dis-
ciples slept in Gethsemane, and be-
troyed him like Judas or denied him
like Peter.
I. The Place of Retreat (vv. 1-3). In
his emphasis upon the spiritual gran-
deur of the deity of Jesus, John does
not dwell upon the agony In the gar-
den. He, however, gives us that noblest
passage in the New Testament (chs.
14-17), the like of which cannot be
found anywhere else in the world's
writings. Having spoken these words,
Jesus and his disciples went over the
Brook Kedron (v. 1) to the garden,
there to bear the awful weight of
agony that was crushing him (Matt.
20:38), while at the same time he must
strengthen his disciples, and fortify
them against the coining trials. That
this place was a place of frequent re-
sort for Jesus, Judas was aware. It was
a sanctuary in which Jesus met the
Father, and those who knew him
knew it as a place of prayer, and the
most likely place to find him nt that
time of night (v. 3). Rebuffed at
Mary's prodigality, Judas had consort-
ed with the priests, anil, now covetous-
ness is to reap Its reward. Judas was
not hardened In a day. His greed for
money, while at the same time listen-
ing to the teachings of Jesus, had
gradually hardened his heart.
II. Protecting and Protesting (vv.
4-11). (See Matt. 20; Mark 14; Luke
22). Jesus went forth In order to con-
centrate the attention of the soldiers
upon himself, nnd to prevent a general
attack upon the disciples. In answer
to his question, they said they were
seeking "Jesus, the Nazarene," a term
of contempt which Jesus answered by
saying, "I ain he." John adds, "and
Judas also which betrayed him stood
with them." Greed for money, grow-
ing into theft and falseness of life,
ended with the blackest crime the
world has ever known. .His salutation
sent them backward (v. 6). Perhaps
among the officers were some who had
failed to arrest him on a former occa-
sion (eh. 7:4(5), and who were now
overawed by his marvelous words and
majestic bearing. Again he answered,
"Whom seek ye?" (v. 7), and they
said, "Jesus of Nazareth," the same
words ns before, but probably In a
changed tone, showing that they were
prepared to listen with respect, though
certainly not with reverence, to what
he might have to offer. What a dra-
matic picture—the brazenness of sin,
Judas who stood among the enemy,
and the fearlessness of virtue, Jesus,
facing his accusers. Augustine, com-
menting on thi s verse, says, "What
will he do when he comes as a guest,
if he did this when giving himself up
as a prisoner?" His act, however,
shielded his disciples, for not one of
them was to be lost (v. 9 R. V.), and
he knew they were not strong enough
yet to stand the test of arrest and
trial. At this point Peter attempts to
defend Jesus (v. 10).
III. Peter Denying (vv. 15-17). As
Jesus was led away, his disciples for-
sook him. They nil left him, and fled,
but Mark adds that a certain young
man followed Jesus. It is conjectured
that this young man was Mark. With
quickness of action we are now trans-
ported to the Judgment hall. There
we see him bound, with his hands
shackled behind his back, and led
first to Annas (v. 13), which was an Il-
legal transaction, "as though some
reformer should be tried at Tammany
hall In New York" (Robert E. Speer).
Annas was now very old. From him
he was taken to Calaphas, followed by
Peter "afar off," now in a different
mood than when he smote the high
priest's servant's ear. With him was
that other disciple (John's way of re-
ferring to himself). Now John was
known to the high priest, nnd he went
in with Jesus Into the palace, but
Peter was standing without nt the
door. Notice the steps of his failure;
First, he "slept" In the garden; sec-
ond, he followed "afar off" (Luke
22:54); third, he "stood" without;
fourth, he "sat" In the midst.

The Moctern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.
A nation-wide cry Is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need of
foodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the na-
tion's history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer Induce-
ments that are unequaled In any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to nature, en-
joying the freedom of God's great out-
doors and fulfilling a duty to human-
ity by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of,a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food-
stuffs that can be produced so eco-
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
edly, will be maintained for a number
of years, and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bountepus return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to "Life on the Farm." It has been,
to a large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
a wrong impression has been created,
in a measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given a supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other busi-
ness does a system adoption pay bet-
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking, needs it as
much. The old Idea of getting a living
off the farm and not knowing how it
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, Is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and a living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; a small
per cent on the Investment Is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
In many places, that has reduced the
profit. It is the application of a sys-
tem to the cost of various work on the
farm that It is possible to give figures
on profits made In grain-growing in
Western Cahada.
Mr. C. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa,
bought a hundred and sixty acres of
land !n Western Canada for $3,300 In
December, 1915, and took his first crop
from it in 1910. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivating
it and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 a bushel (a low price
compared with the present market),
had a surplus of $2,472.07. His figures
are as follows:
4,487 bushels worth
$1.55 at Cham-
pion
Threshing bill
per bushel
Seed at 95c........
Drilling
Cutting
Twine
Shocking
Hauling to town
Total cost
...$6,954.85-
11c
-$6,954.85
this being nn average of 44 bushels
and 10 pounds to the acre. A con-
siderable portion of the wheat was
No. 1 Northern, worth at Champion,
approximately $1.85 per bushel, mak-
ing a total return of $ljl,610, or an av-
erage of $81.70 per acre gross yields.
And by aid of a thorough system were
able to keep the cost of growing wheat
at about 25 cents a bushel."
Messrs. Smith & Sons of Vulcan,
Alberta, are growers of wheat on a
large scale and have demonstrated
that there is greater profit in Western
Canada wheat-raising than probably In
any other business anywhere. Speak-
ing of their experience Mr. Smith
says:
"I have three sections of land at the
present time and am farming yearly
1,200 to 1,400 acres of land. My re-
turns from the farm for the past two
years have been around 200%, that Is
for every dollar I have spent I have
received three, now I do not know
where you can do that well.
"This is surely the country for the
man with the small capital as the land
is still reasonable in price, payments
In long term and work of all kinds for
every man to do. I feel that If I was
turned out here without a dollar that
In less than ten years I could own a
section of land and have It well
equipped."
Western Canada's soil and climate
is suitable to graining large and prof-
itable yields of wheat. Many so large
that those not acquainted with the
facts hesitate to believe the reports
sent out by the farmers in that coun-
try. As an evidence of their sincerity
in reporting correct yields affidavits
of a couple of grain growers are repro-
duced.
"I, Newell J. Noble, of the town of
Nobleford, Province of Alberta, do
solemnly declare that from 1,000 acres
of wheat on the said farm there was,
in the season of 1916, threshed 54,395
bushels of wheat, being at the average
of 54 bushels and 23 pounds per acre.
And that from 394.69 acres of oats on
the said farm, there was threshed in
the said season of 1916, 48,506 bushels
of oats, being at the average of 122
bushels and 30 pounds per acre.
"And I make this solemn declara-
tion conscientiously, believing it to be
true and knowing that it is of the
same force and effect as if made un-
der oath and by virtue of The Canada
Evidence Act." NEWELL J. NOBLE.
A Woman Takes Affidavit as to
Yields.—On January 4, 1917, Mrs. Nan-
cy Coe of Nobleford made oath as fol-
lows:
In the matter of yield of wheat, oats
and flax on my farm for harvest of
1916, I, Nancy Coe, of the town of
Nobleford, Province of Alberta, do sol-
emnly declare that I threshed from
115 acres on my farm 6,110 bushels of
wheat (machine measure, which It Is
believed will hold out in weights fully
—about three-fourths of the crop al-
ready having been weighed), being at
the average of 53 bushels and 8
pounds per acre, and that from 48
acres of flax on stubble ground, I
threshed 993 bushels of flax, being at
an average of 20 bushels and 38
pounds per acre, and that from 5.00
ncres of oats I threshed 586' bushels,
machine measure, being at an average
of 115 bushels and 27 pounds>per acre.
