I'lIE SJSCRKT OF TUJi “L.K.G.” SUCCESS. 'L'lio great problem of successfully milking by suction was solved by tho Gillies L’atents, and the “Lawrence-Kennedy-Gillies” is the only milking machine which embodies tho Gillies principle. The best proof of the reliability and value of the “L.K.G.” is the experience of thousands of practical farmers who have tested it during the past five years, and no other machine has stood the trial of daily working for even half that period. Write for further particulars to J. U. Mac Ewan and Co., Ltd., solo agents, Fort Street, Auckland.

CHARACTER iN POLITICS. Aspirants for political fame win booh be seeking the suffrages of the electors. What a different complexion will be put upon Parliamentary life and national laws if we, as electors, were to choose our legislators on the same principle as King Darius chose .Daniel—“because an excellent spirit was in him.” But unfortunately, a large number of peoplo are so wedded to Party, and so blind to the interests of the general community, that they will only vote for those candidates who reflect their political opinions, and promise to satisfy their local wants. This party spirit not only engenders bitterness, but discounts character, thus bringing a corruptive element into national life. We would strongly urge all true patriots of New Zealand to insist upon character -as the essential and highest quality for a Parliamentary representative, for, depend upon it, THE NATION IS DOOMED THAT VIEWS MORAL FIBRE WITH INDIFFERENCE. There is nothing truer in God’s universe than this. In national as well as in individual life the great law ‘‘Whatsoever a man soweth that shall lie also reap” operates with the most unerring precision. Let us, then, rise above party feeling and selfish interests, and select not only men of business capacity and mental endowment, but men of' high character and moral dignity. Character, apt opinion, should govern our votes, and then would disappear the intrigues, the bitterness, the corruption, and the faulty legislation that so strongly mark our political life. -When will professing Christians realise the fact that whenever they subordinate the highest welfare of humanity to the lowest interests of self and party, they give Jesus Christ a distinct slap in the face:*

Praying to God for the extension of His Kingdom, and then voting for the continuance of the Liquor Traffic, or sending a man of questionable -hnracter into the House to legislate for us, is utter hvpocrisv and atvful blasphemy. IF A MAN IS TO TAKE HIS -REUGION ANYWHERE, STTRELY IT SHOULD FIND EXPRESSION IN THE BALLOT-BOX. It is monstrously inconsistent to worship Jesus Christ on the Sunday and then to put the Devil in charge of politics on the Monday, Advt, O.P.
