In the first instalment of Grain we were introduced to Gander Stake, the youngest son of a hard-working, hardheaded pioneer Western farmer. We followed his career at school, watched him grow in the ways of the soil. Now the shadow of the war creeps over the waving wheat fields, to rouse vague wonderings in the mind of this son of the prairie.

To John Outram, preacher, the Gospel was not bound by leathern covers. He read it in every good and perfect thing. And when the path to happiness led away from a stately spire and the plaudits of his fellows, he trod it with one on whom Beauty, too, had laid its spell.

Lyon leaped a fence to a neighboring golf course—he was in his thirty-ninth year—and, throwing away his bat, picked up a driver for the first time in his life.Next summer he went through to the semi-finals of the Canadian amateur golf championship.

COURIERS OF COMMERCE
Bare floors for beds, frigid rides behind jaded horses, payment in dried apples for goods supplied—such was often the lot of the men who preceded the steel in blazing the trails for Canadian industry. Many of them, after forty years and more of service, are still carrying on.
