\u201cThe world do move.\u201d The singing at the day meetings might Yery easily be improved.It is led by a member of the court, who accompanies himself on the organ.The phrasing is Sometimes ridiculously bad, and more attention is paid to swing than to expres- fon.The solid body of tone from five hundred male voices has in itself something grand and solemn, even though the Riceties of musical culture \"are outraged.at the evening meetings, when the church Is filed, the singing led by the choir and Pipe organ is almost inspiring.gh her innovation was introduced last ney ; ul, in his Epistles, exhorted wo- i 0 \u201ckeep silent in the church,\u201d but © General Assembly had two women ad- less the court in the presence of a.con- on Which crowded the galleries, And ofl > more, the women held their own vas o matter and style.The occasion Were Ai mission night.The women Mise va Margaret O\u2019Hara, M.D., and mission a MeKellar, M.D, of the f their orl Central India.They tord Dot ei among the women of India, ut it was J Ne their story interesting, ° remotes, told and easily heard in adies are Pr of the chureh.Both ingston, Portas es of Queen's College, on the platform de it was their presence into à back ag 1at sent Principal Caven at in the gallery.The fairg Migs] and cam of the foreign mission af- onary \u20ac accused of keeping their soon in the background.The con- \u20ac rest of ned but a few minutes, and Ww to rete evening was entirely given adies arent missionaries.Besides the MacGilpie.¥ mentioned, the Rev.Donald VlVray, of Honan, v.N.H ae Q% last night, stitution of the Geneygy La > | hurch government, would be The government of the Pres- is in its very essence | Toronto of Ottawa, supported !

Eprroriar Rooms.751 JoB RooM.1910 HERALD PUBLISHING CO.Jas.S.BRIERLEY, Managing Director.MONTREAL, JUNE 11.IS THE CHURCH DECLINING?The man in the street is in the way of saying to the man in the club that the church is a thing outworn and outgrown, shaken by the forward march, and ready to be taken out of the way.It would be worth while for such people to attend the meetings of the Supreme Court of almost any representative Canadian church.The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, now in session in Montreal, offers a fair opportunity for studying the decline of the Church.A student of to-day finds it difficult to compare the present with any past period in the Church\u2019s history.But \u2018t would be difficult to persuade one, from R study of Canadian Presbyterianism, that the Church in Canada is declining in any of those essential elements which make a church or nation great.It is loyal to truth, it loves freedom, it is devoted to service; and if in these cssontials the Church retains its strenght, what seems to be decline may be but youth\u2019s renewing.And it is not difficult to believe that | truth is of capital importance in the estimation of the Church.We may talk glibly about the Westminster Confession and the obscurantism of those who sub- gcribe to a creed more than two centuries old.The facts belie our theories.The men who stand for that venerable document to-day are not blind to the new lights of science or criticism.They know what is going on in the intellectual world, and when one comes near enough to the Church of to-day to understand its genius, onc feels the same throb as marked the life of those whe, long ago, stood single- handed against the world of superstition and error.The men who lead the way in all theological speculation and Biblical criticism are within the Church, and, even when they are antagonized, it is, if we look but deep enough, one further evidence that the Church cares, first of all, not for persons but for principles and is ready to do battle, not only to win, but to keep, the truth it loves.So, too, with freedon.We may talk glightingly of the Church, and say it shackles the mind and makes for servitude.No man who knows the history of Britain and of the world will charge even dour-faced Calvinism with being unmindful of the sacred cause of liberty.And so, in the struggles of to-day.Whatever isolated instances to the contrary, the spirit of the Church, working through its ministers and members, makes steadily for intellectual, social and political liberty.It is in its service to men that the church exhibits its real divinity and proves itself to-day, as of old, the foremost civ- ilizer of the world.No unbiassed man could listen to the discussions on home and foreign missions and cducational affairs without being deeply impressed by the immense service which, in a hundred unrecognized ways, the church renders to all the higher enternrises of the nation.In a democracy such as ours it is of capital importance that the life of individuals and: of communities be strongly and positively wvhargea with those ethical and moral elements which give strength and stability to character.It is also important taat the ascendancy of the spiritual over the material be maintained.And the duty of the strong to the weak, both in individual and in national affairs, must never be obscured if life is to be great ard free.In all these things it must be admitted that to-day, as in the past, the largest and most enduring service is rendered by those who draw their inspiration from some other source than the latest text book on political science or social economics.The church of to-day is by no means fauit- less, and it is often slow to appreciate its opportunity and responsibility, but every man who loves his country and cares for the betterment of the world will welcome every token of the Church\u2019s abiding strength and will justly value the service which, in city and country, in lumber camp and mining gulch, the Church is rendering to the causes of justice, liberty and all that is most worth while in the life that now is, not to speak of that which is to come.A REMARKABLE TRIBUTE.Beldom, indeed, has there been witnessed a scene that would parallel that which tock place in Toronto the other day, when a delegation of the leading farmers of the Provinee waited upon Hon.Mr.Hardy and urged upon him the desirability of retaining Hon.Jéfin Dryden in his position as Minister of Agriculture.The composition of the delegation was in itself enough to allay the suspicion that it was a result of political wire-pulling, and the explicit declaration of Mr.John i.Hobson, perhaps the foremost man in the live stock business in Canada, that the movement originated with the farmers and was carried through without other organization than the sending of a circular and the receiving of replies, was hardly necessary to the occasion.We have no idea that there was ever any likelihood of Mr.Dryden\u2019s being left out of the Ministry, but there must have been some uncertainty in the minds of the farmers of the country on the subject, or this magniti- cent tribute, in which Liberals and Conservatives from all parts of the country joined, would not have been offered.The fact is that Hon.Mr.Dryden, like some of the other members of the Ontario Cabinet, is more of a trained specialist in a work that gravely affects the interests ot the Province than he is a mere politician.He is not the political head of a staff ot «experts, but an expert himself, to whom the officers of Lis devartment look for _ ten niin.alin am.: Franchise Bill.counsel and sympathy.The statement was made by one of those interested in the delegation that the man to suitably replace Mr.Dryden could not be found on the continent.And what makes this statement doubly interesting is the fact that what would ordinarily seem to be language of exaggerated praise is in this case, there is every reason to believe, the sober opinion of a man who felt that he would be a sufferer by Mr.Dryden\u2019s relinquishment of his position.BOTTLED UP.Mr.Foster and Sir Hibbert Tupper,who are leading the Opposition in the House of Commons in the absence of Sir Charles, have developed a line of tactics not altogether lacking in discretion.Sir Hibbert must be allowed the credit of the scheme, as it was he who first put it into execution.This occurred when the committee appointed to consider the Manitoba election conspiracy came to the end of its labors.All the testimony was in and it had all gone to show that the Conservative managers of the last election had engineered so corrupt a campaign in Manitoba that even the official records of the party oi- ganization (if there ave auy which is unlikely) could scarcely be expected to disclose anything much worse.Sir Hib- bert did not want that kind of thing discussed in the House, so he announced that he wanted to call Mr.Birmingham as a witness and asked that the whole matter be left over until next session.This was agreed to and we have probably heard the last of the matter unless at the next session Mr.Sifton should have a mind to rake np the evidence on his own account, and this, in view of the fact that he 1s exceedingly busy about affairs of more concern to his department, is somewhat unlikely.When the Drummond County investigation report came up for disposition on Thursday, Mr.Foster was found to be much enamored of Sir Hibbert\u2019s tactics.He had no stomach for the report.He thought the House wanted to get home to look after the crops.He was sure Mr.Powell had no idea the report would be discussed and bad actually gone off home with some documents of mysterious import in his valise.Surely, under such circumstances, Sir Richard Cartwright would not be so cruel as to proceed summarily with the process of branding calumniators.Surely Sir Wilfrid Laurier would sce that it was not fair to subject the Conservatives in the House of Commons to a flagellation because of the egregious blunder of that impossible old man in the Senate who had insisted upon an investigation that only landed his friends in trouble.If the whole thing could be left over until the next session it would be ever so much niger, and possibly, unless Mr.Powell should forget to put those mysterious documents in his toilet case when he returns to Ottawa next year, the question may be reopened, and if the Opposition have to take a castigation they will be in better form to bear it in the early days of the session.Mr.Foster, so runs the report, hoped the Government did not desire to take the Spanish army at a disadvantage.Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the report continues, said he was afraid the Spanish army was bottled up.The country will be obliged to Mr.Foster for having in a moment of candor so accurately suggested the situation.Sr IS PEACE IN SIGHT?The more recent developments of the war situation appear to point to an early cessation of hostilities.On the American side there has been plenty of energy displayed ; on the Spanish side, none at all.While gallant old Admiral Cervera lies with his crippled squadron in the harbor of Santiago without hope that the Cadiz division of the fleet will bring him any assistance, the Americans are strong in men and ships, and, according to latest reports, are pushing forward a large contingent of seasoned troops in addition to knocking to pieces the defense batteries at fortified ports.It is the very ease with which Spain suffers herself to be beaten that must be taken as certain indication that peace cannot be much longer delayed.Mr.Goldwin Smith gays the war so far has been like putting one\u2019s foot through a bandbox, so feeble have been the Spanish efforts at resistance.It is quite impossible that the Spaniards in Cuba can long hold out against the superior force that will be sent against them, for all their bravery will not suffice to overcome the well-appointed, well-fed troops of the enemy, when they themselves are unable to get food.Senor Carranza must be supposed to have an intimate knowledge of the situation, and the hopeless view of the case Which he evidently takes, as appears from the now famous intercepted letter, is as certain a sign of the hopelessness of the Spanish cause as need be looked for.In Spain, a period of unusual excitement has been succeeded by one of apathy and indifference.Nothing but sheer Castilian pride could urge a continuance of the war under the present impc gible conditions, and the time must soon come when fresh proofs of incompetency in the administration, such as every day appear, must cause a revulsion of feeling on the part of those whose sons are giving up their lives in Cuba and the Philippines to no purpose.At one time Spain might have evacuated Cuba in peace aud received a substantial sum of money.Now Cuba and Porto Rico will not only be lost to her but there will be the burden of the cost of the war and the indemnity which the Americans as conquerors will be certain to demand.In the United States there is already talk of what will be done after the war, and the air is full of projects for territorial extensions, increased naval armament and a larger standing army.All this, however, will probably pass away within a short time of the close of the war.There will be no large standing army maintained in the United States, at least, not without à struggle, and in that struggle the political doctrines of Washington and Jefferson will probably be shown still to exercise a predominant influence over the mind of the American oitizen.\u2014\u2014 rt ee AN ILLOGICAL ATTITUDE.It is questionable whether any other act of Sir Mackenzie Bowell\u2019s since he and the Senate \u201cset out to make trouble for the Government,\u201d possessed quite so much of the element of complacent cynicism as his suggestion of a method to get over the plebiscite difficulty arising from the attempt to subvert the principle of the You must not attempt, quoth he, to clect members of Parliament on such lists as are made up in the pro- viuces, but if you want to take a vote on this prohibition question, 1 have no objection to your using these provincial lists, THE HERALD, SAUTRDAY, JUNE 11, 1898.For the graceful condescension which made this permission available, the country should be grateful.As for the prohili: tionists, who have some expectation that there is a relationship between this ple- | biscite vote and the subsequent conduct, not of the provincial legislatures, but of | GENERAL ASSEMBLY.(Continued From Page One.) | themselves to the Church, and the Church ! had accepted them and sent them forth to China.The missionaries there had to the House of Commons, the question may | contend with a very hostile population, be properly left with them for reflection, why did Sir Mackenzie Bowell accept the provincial lists for the plebiscite when he refuse to accept them for the men who will be called upon to give effect to the verdict?For our own part, We can see no explanation of the conundrum, except that he chose to display nothing but contempt for the prohibition plebiscite and nothing but rancorous animosity towards the Liberal Government.After some days of reflection upon the weakness of his position the ex-premier has seen fit t» withdraw ftom it, but the moral of the incident remains.The Senate will be losing caste with newspapers like the Toronto Mail and Empire.Here was Mr.Tarte\u2019s \u2018 harbor scheme\u201d presented to it and the Senate refused to interfere.Which explanatinn will the Mail and Empire adopt?Was it really not a corrupt \u201cscheme\u201d or were \u201cthe police\u201d asleep?Jt would appear from the debates on the Franchise Bill on Thursday that Sir Mackenzie Bowell and the Senate had not much of an idea of the effect of the amendment they were determined to introduce into the bill.Mr.Biair was obliged to point out that the ainendment proposed was unworkable, as no machinery had been provided for putting it in practice.Mr.Fitzpatrick also showed that the amendment did not even make clear the Senate\u2019s purpose to make it apply only to the Dominion lists and not to the Provincial lists.Even Sir Mackenzie Bowell seems to have been brought to a realization that in his haste to serve his party and \u201cto make trouble for the Government\u201d he was betrayed into advocating an amendment he did not understand.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, in the exercise of his prerogative as self-appointed chief adviser of the Crown, served notice on Thursday that the Senate would not prorogue until it had decided what to do about the Franchise and Plebiscite Bills in the event of the House of Commons not submitting to the Senate\u2019s dictation in regard to these bills.It is fortunate that Sir Mackenzie allowed his determination to be tempered by consideration for those of his colleagues who do not enjoy so abundant a measure of vitality as himself.It it had really come to a protracted struggle in this hot weather, the effect upon the brigade of Sir Mackenzie\u2019s stalwart supporters might have been disastrous.In fact two weeks of a real fight might end in depriving Sir Mackenzie of his majority and solving the Senate problem as well as settling the Franchise and plebiscite disputes.SERVICES TO-MORROW In Connection With the Sitting of the General Assembly Will Take Place in Knox Church.Religious service in connection with the

valuable lessons, and he trusted that by influencing the officials they would be able to influence the many in course of time.T'he mission had been the means of saving the life of one of these officials, and he would not forget it.Another result that they were instrumental in destroying the wooden block from in destroying the wooden block from which a very dangerous book called \u201cThe Death - Blow to to corrupt doctrines\u201d was to be printed.To-day they had walking up and Jown through the northern part of CHina some 300 men who were partially blind and who now had their sight through the efforts of the mission doctors, not to speak of the aid of the sick and the diseased.But the greatest result was that th: eyes of the blind in a spiritual sense had been unstopped.One great desire they had was to establish a corps\u2019 of native helpers who should be able to carry on the work.\u201cOne word more before I am concluded Mr, McGillivray, \u201cIf China is to be divided up, my solemn belief is that our responsibilities towards it will be greater than ever.China may be divided up by artificial lines but China will still remain one people, homogeneous and therefore it cannot be blotted out of the map by such an artificial divisions as the various foreign bowers may agree to.Let them hack China to pieces the people will still remain Chinese, just as the scattered Jews still remain a separate and distinct nationality.As part of them may become subjects of the British Empire, the greater will be the call upon you to work in their behalf, not merely because they are brothers, but because they are living under the same flg as ourselves, and so I say that the results during these ten years ave sufficient justification for the establishment of {hat

millions of people in India, however, not six per cent.of the men were literate, and not one-half per cent.of the women were able to read or Write.Socially the people of India were the slaves of custom; in trade and agriculture they followed the lives pursued in the days of the patriarchs.If they would not change the tools of their fathers and grandfathers, how much less would thev change their religion?In fact, in that land there had been a terrible moral descent of man, and to-day they largely worshipped abominations.\u201cI have here,\u201d remarked the speaker, holding it up in his

India\u2019s idea of God.The only way to reach these people was by the Gospel of Jesus Chrsit; it was the only thing that could reach their conscience.At the present time they had broken up the Brahmin\u2019s power, and could approach the people not only through the Brahmins, but outside of them.They faced three hundred millions who were willing to receive this wonderful message, and all they wanted was more money.That was the solution of the whole question.Difficulties of the Work.Miss McKellar, M.D., also made an eloquent appeal upojn behalf of Central India.She related the incident of the old soldier who was asked the question:\u2014 \" \u201cSupposing Queen Victoria was to issue a proclamation and asked to have this proclaimed in every city and town throughout the world, how long would it take to carry out the Queen's command!\u201d to which the old soldier replied:\u2014\u201cSir, I think we could do it in eighteen months.\u201d Just thnk of it; and yet they found that it was over 1,800 years since their King Jesus Christ gave his command: \u2014*\u201cGo ve inte all the world and > preach the Gospel to all creatures.\u201d What did they find to-day?\" There were er 856,000,000 of souls who had never heard the name of Jesus, and who knew nothing about the living and true God.The district given to them in Central In- One great difficulty they had to contend with was the question of caste, and this meant much to the young converts when thev came out to confess Christ.Miss Kellar also referred to the Zenana system, and said that there were forty millions of women shut up in these zenanas.They had great difficulty in dealing with these.In one instance, when a zenana woman was advised to consult a doctor, she exclaimed: \u201cJIow can I meet my God if 1 look into the face of that man?\u201d They could lie and steal, but they would not interfere with their caste.She concluded by stating that they had only twenty-two missionaries in Central India, and remarked that in lookiug over the reports she found that a number of congregations in Canada did not give one cent to foreign missions.The addresses were interspersed with appropriate hymns.At this point the Rev.Mr.Forrest referred to the death of Rev.Mr.Grant, killed by a street-car on Notre Dame street.The references to the melancholy event are given in another column, with an account of how the accident took place.Presbyterian Young People\u2019s Rally.A meeting of young people will be held in Knox Church on Sunday evening at 8.30 P.M., when the Rev.R.D.Fraser will preside.The speakers

ear lays; Whether we look or whether we listen, We hear life murmur or see it glisten; Every clod feels a stir of might, An instinet within it that reaches and towers And, groping blindly about it for light, Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers; The flush of life may well be seen.Thrilling back over hills and valleys; The cowslip startles in meadows green, The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice, And there\u2019s never a leaf or a blade too mean To be some happy creature\u2019s palace.TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets, All Druggists refund the money if it

recent sitting of the Austrian .tary delegation one of the om representatives characterized the the Éungarian budget committee, | increase of the imperial navy, gs an insult to Austria, and warned

relations between Austria and Hungary would have the most serious consequences for the welfare of both states, and more especially for the international position and prestige of the monarchy.Appeal to the War Minister.The population of Gratz is in such a state of ferment that an appeal has been made to the Austrian Minister of War.The present condition of alfairs is the direct consequence of the disturbance that occur- reed at Gratz during the last stormy sittings of the Reichsrath under the Badeni ministry, which ended in the expulsion of the German members by the police and vo fall of the ministry.At that time a Bosnian regiment stationed a Gratz had an encounter with the populace, in which several persons were wounded and a workingman was killed.The employment of Slav troops for this purpose excited much local indignation.This feeling found expression in a public funeral for the victim at the cost of the municipality.Forty-seven officers of the reserve who took part in the ceremony were reduced to the rank of common soldiers.Since November last the military bands have ceased to play in public at Gratz.The garrison authorities recently consented to allow them again to perform in public on condition that a beginning shoul be made with the land of the Bosnian regiment.ne result was that the bandsmen were chased off the platform by a crowd composed of university students and Socialist workingmen.The latter celebrated their victory by singing the Pan-Germanic hymn, while the Slav musicians had to be escort.: ol to barracks by a detachment of troops.ue present appeal to the Minister of War asserts that social and political relations in Gratz are so strained that cvery effort thould be made for the immediate remov- el of all cause of friction, and it is suggested that the Bosnian regiment be with- rawn, He is also asked to explain why he sanctioned the degredation of the reserve officers, and to state whether it is true that the bulk of them were transferred to Slav or Magyar regiments to gerve as private soldiers.Unification of Germany, A few surviving members of the first German National Assembly, which met in the Paulskirche, at F rankfurt, in 1848, met in that city the other day to cele: brate the fiftieth anniversary of its convocation.They addressed a message to the venerable Xduard von Simpson, who was the President of the Frankfurt Na- tonal Assembly, requesting him to pre- tent their greeting to Prince Bismarck, and ao iedge that, although the unifia on o rermany had been accomplished RN and means which they had not Cin 21

attached to the House of Savoy, and loyal to the Triple Alliance, Antartic Expedition.The final arrangements for Mr.Borch- grevink\u2019s Antartic expedition have been practically completed, and it will soon start for Australia and South Victoria Land.Mr.Borchgrevink has given some details of his arrangements to a London reporter.He said that his ship, the Southern Cross, is a bark with an auxiliary screw, fitted with triple expension engines of 400 horse power, which will insure speed of nine knots.She was designed by Corbin Archer, the builder of the Fram, and has ten feet of scolid oa* at her bows, and at her weakest point is thirty-two inches in thickness.Over all she is sheathed wiith three inches of American greenheart\u2014a wood which never splits and is very hard and slippery.The Southern Cross will fly the British flag, and will leave London in July.A pack of sixty-five Siberian sledge-dogs will be taken, and a number of sledges for the inland journey on the South Victorian continent.The expedition will number thirty-two, or possibly thirty-four, members, including Dr.H.Kolvstad, medical officer; Mr.Corbeck, an English inaster mariner; Mr.Barnacchi, a Tasmanian of Italian extraction; Mr.Nikolai Hanson, a Norwegian zoologist, and Capt.Bernard Jensen, as ice-master.The object of the expedition is to explore South Victoria Land and to investigate the seas and the islands between there and Australia.Mr.Borchzrevink is taking with him stores tor three years and a supply of carrier- pigeons.He will address the Roval Geographical Society of London before his departure for the south.A Remarkable Discovery.The toxine remedy against the locusts in Mashonaland, Africa, is said to be proving of some eflicacy.Mr.Tapsell, who has a farm sixteen miles out of Salisbury, gives, in Rhodesia, a very favorable account of the results of the last supply of locust toxine he had from the government.He says that as inoculated locusts died he kept and dried them, and afterward, having given the fungus time to mature, ground them into powder.A swarm of locusts, which was two hours in passing, went into a five-acre mealie patch, and some of these locusts were saturated with a solution from the ground- up powder and sct loose again in the swarm, which a couple of days afterwards was visibly affected, the locusts remaining stationary on the mealie stalks.A little later they were all dead, and Mr.Tapsell \\ concludes his report witih the declaration that he has not a live locust upon his whole farm.If this story be true, it would be difficult to exaggerate its 1m- portance to farmers in countries affected by the locust pest.RAILWAY EARNINGS- The Returns of Both the Grand Trunk and C.P.R.Are Running Ahead of Last Year, The earnings of the two big railroads the past week show that the volume of business is still considerably ahead of last year.The Grand Trunk increase amounted to $1,860, and the C.P.R.increase $43,000.In both cases the gains are smaller than they have been, but this is due in a great measure to the fact that it was just about a year ago that a good-sized boom set in and ran the figures up.The Grand Trunk Railway

Would Be a Good Thing for the World and for Civilization.HE HAS NO LOVE FOR RUSSIA.peeps London, June 11.\u2014Sir Charles Dilke, Advanced Radical, member for the Forest of Dean Division of Gloucestershire, in the House of Commons, yesterday, moved a reduction in the Foreign Office vote and attacked the Marquis of Sallsbury\u2019s foreign policy of concession.Referring to the United States, he said: \u201cOur better relations with the United States are mainly due to the good influence of Her Majesty\u2019s ambassador at Washington (Sir Julian Pauncefote), for the Government\u2019s policy has been rash and feeble.Everyone will welcome an alliance of hearts with America, but no alliance could be a \u2018war alliance.\u201d\u2019 Continuing, Sir Charles sald he did not belleve in the possibility, mooted by Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, of an alliance with Germany.The Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Office, Mr.George N.Curzon, gave credit to the good influence of the British Ambassador at Washington.But, he asserted that credit was due, not merely to the ambassador or to the exigencies of the moment, but to \u2018\u2018Lord Salisbury\u2019s friendly, calm and dispassionate attitude during the discussion of difficult matters with America two years ago.\u2019 Mr.Curzon added: \u201c\u2018\u201c\u2018An arbitration treaty will be accepted some day.\u201d This statement was greeted with cheering.Harcourt Criticizes Chamberlain.Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal leader, asking information as to the Foreign policy of the Government, proceeded to criticize at length the recent speech of Mr.Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, at Birmingham.He referred ironically to the \u201cpitiful spectacle of the Secretary of State for the Colonies standing, cap in hand before the powers and seeking an alliance,\u201d remarking: \u2018The Chinese question must be settled in friendship and concert with Russia.\u201d He asked whether it would not have been better for Mr.Chamberlain to \u201cpostpone his insults to Russia\u2019\u2019 until the talked of alliance had heen secured.Mr.Chamberlain, who, on rising to reply, was received with Government cheers and Irish Nationalist hisses, denied that tnere was any discrepancy between himself and other members of the Cabinet.\u201cI believe,\u201d he said, \u2018\u2018that our interests are much more closely allied to the interests of Germany than to those of Russia.The Cabinet is not responsible for every single word uttered by its members, but it is responsible for every declaration of policy and every important statement of fact.If there had been a difference of opinion between Lord Salisbury and myself, it would have been my duty to resign.That is my answer to all these charges.I have not resigned, and I have not been rejected by the Prime Minister.Therefore, there is a solidarity.\u201d Mr.Chamberlain declared that the object of his Birmingham speech was \u2018not to lay down a policy, but to state facts to the country as to what I conceive to be the conditions and great problems we are called to face.\u2019 Would Not Take Back One Word.The speech, he continued, has been made, and there was not one word of it that he intended to withdraw.Great Britain could stand alone, but in that case she could not exercise the controlling influences she had hitherto exercised in China.\u2018\u2018So long as we are without alliances,\u201d he said, emphatically \u2018it will be impossible to preserve the independence of China against the inroads of a great military power.\u201d Repeating the leading features of his Birmingham speech, Mr.Chamberlain declared: \u201cIf it became known that we were willing to consider alliances, it is_unlikely that advances would be made wo us.A mutual understanding with one of the great powers would save a very large addition to the navy.\u201d In concluding, he referred to the \u2018\u2018Importance of a close understanding with America.\u201d adding: \u201cIn my opinion, on such a matter, the United States would not listen to the Irish vote.\u201d But whether England or America were menaced, he said he hoped it would be found that blood is thicker than water, and, without desiring to force either nation to enter into an alliance with which a majority of both peoples did not thorcughly sympathize.he would repeat his conviction that the closer, the more defined and the clearer the alliance between the United States and England, the better it would be for both natiorg and for civilization.Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s speech ended amid loud cheers from the Government benches.THE PROCESSION TO-MORROW.Great Preparations Have Been Made for it\u2014 The Route Decorated\u2014Order of the Procession.To-morrow\u2019s Roman Catholic procession promises to be an unusually large one, if the weather is fine.Should the day be fine, the parishes

phenomenally large yield of this cereal, and while the corn and oat crops are reported rather backward, the tendency is to look for sufficient ylelds of these lower priced cereals.Statistics of pig

privileges for its members every person in Canada who rides a wheel will soon have no alternative but to join the association.The C.W.A.shows that it knows which side of the bread the butter is on, by having all the privileges apply only to its members.thus it is that in touring through Canada\u2014anywhere but around Montreal where.ithe wheeling officials are so slow that they have done nothing yet\u2014all one need do is to show his membership ticket in the C.W.A.to secure a reduced rate ; that does not apply to wheelmen generally.: The amount of the incinbership fee can be saved in ene day's touring.The latest is a most important one and will be greatly appreciated by all Canadian riders who have occasion to eross the line with their wheels into the United States.Formerly when a rider took his wheel with him to the States he had to deposit the amount of the customs duty with the authorities.This was to be refunded when he returned but often considerable trouble was found in-securing the money.Now all a rider need do is to show his membership ticket in the C.W.A.If the wheel is not returned the C.W.A.will pay the diity.Thus it will be seen that everyone who is anticipating a trip with his or her wheel to the States, will save a great deal of Bother by joining the C.W.A.and taking the membership ticket along with the wheel.It is very easy to join the association, as all the leading bicycie clubs are-affiliated with it.It you don\u2019t know how to go about it send in {fifty cents anu vour address to the sporting editor of The Herald and he wil do the rest.Tie vow York Evening Telegram makes the following happy remarks anent the duty question: \u2018The beneficient bicycle is to be credited with an important contribution towards an Anglo-American alliance.Two years ago the Canadian Wheelmen\u2019s Association arranged with the Dominion officials that any member of the League of American Wheelmen should be permitted to cross the border into Canada without paying duty on his machine\u2014merely recording it for identification and to insure its return.There has jyeen no reciprocity on our side until now.Presiden\u2019 Potter, of the League.to-day, however, announces that the Washington authorities have consented to admit the Canadian wheelmen to our territory on similar conditions.Thus is a reciprocal bond of sympathy established through the medium of the universal \u201cbike \u201d The president of the new National Amateur Athletic Union of Canada has been reported as follows:\u2014 \u201cMr.Tobias Butler, president of the National Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, in reply fo a question as to whether the players of the Capital Laerosse Club, who had heen transferred to the professional ranks of the Amateur Athletic ssociation of Canada, or athletes who had transgressed the amateur laws previous to January 20th of this year, would be permitted to play, or could play, with any of the clubs in the union, Mr.Butler said: \u201cNo, most decidedly no\u201d Mr.Butler, continuing, said that this union could not go beyond its constitution, and could only legislate from the date of its inception, hence the mention of the date in the forms which the lacrosse players and the club officials will have to sign.Furthermore, Mr.Butler said that this union was intended to be thoroughly amateur, and was organized to promote the best interests of sport.Any action taken by the A.A.À.of Canada previous to the formation of the union and afterwards would be received as final.This association, said Mr.Butler, \u2018was not organized in opposition to the A.A.A, of Canada, but in order to more closely govern the national game, and we consider that the Senior Lacrosse League is the proper body to do this\u2019 In conclusion, Mr.Butler said that this new union would result in à more strict observance of the amateurism of players, and that the players could e, more properly looked after by this union than by the A.A.A.of Canada.\u201d The Herald has all along taken the Stand that as far as it intends to legislate on the amateur questions, the new union 1s entirely superfuous, and the remarks of the president do not tend to alter that opinion.The union\u2019s definition sets forth that an amateur is an amateur if he has done nothing to affect his standing as such since the 29th of Jan- vary last.Under this rule all the Capitals are amateurs if they have been good since the 29th.If not, what does the new definition mean?And, if the union will still recognize the actions of the A.A A.of C., why does it require a new définition of an amateur\u2014a definition which surely, on the face of it, whitewashes all those who were declared professionals in the past by the A.A.A.of C.?There is good work for the union to do in promoting the welfare of amateur sports.The A.A.A.of C.has shown itself capable of looking after all those who transgress the amateur rule, and to it that work should be left.When the union wishes to make a man a professional it can do it under the A.A.A.\u2018of Cs rule.Amateur sport will never be kept clear as long as we have two separate and distinct descriptions of what an amateur is.In athletics, as in its commercial life, Granby exhibits the same spirit of push and enterprise that has already made its name a familiar one to the great majority of the people in the Dominion, and in se curing the first C.W.A.provincial meet it is only working on its own charaeteris- tic lines.Preparations for making the meet a huge success are already well in hand.Committees of the citizens are hard at work.Arrangements have heen made with the railroads for excursion rates from all parts of the Province, and for special trains leaving Montreal in the morning and returning in the evening on both days ot the meet.Ample hotel accommodation 13 being provided for taking care of the large numbers who will attend the meet.The races will be held on the grounds of the Granby Amateur Athletic Association.The track is a good one, and grand stand accommodation is ample.' | The programme of events contains all of the provincial championships, and an attractive list of open events, and visitors will doubtless see considerable record- breaking, as crack riders from all over the Province are rushing in their entries.The Rooter\u2019s Dream.The

woolly fan walked through the turnstile at the grounds yesterday wearing a faraway expression, which, as he neared the stand, melted into a look of severe determination.; He climbed the stairs on to the stand, and stood surveying the fleld for some time before he sat down.Some indefinable something told him that Montreal was at last going to awaken from their four-day trance and pull off the game.So the fan started in to help.\u201cHello, Docsh,\u201d he called out to the umpire, \u201cget your skates on, old man, and get \u2019em working.\u201d Mr.Doescher smiled a sweet smile, and broke the seals on a couple of new Spaldings.But the men were a little slow in getting out, so the fan registered a protest.\u201cLook here,\u201d he called out, \u2018we haven't got our dinners with us, d\u2019ye see.We don\u2019t want any half-past six game again.Savey ?\u201d ; Apparently Mr.Doescher saveyed, for he yelled \u201cplay\u201d rather quickly, and shied a nice new ball at Miner.Mr.Nichols of Springfield was up, and the first few swings he made with his bat excited the fan immensely.Lu \u201cOh, my,\u201d he said, \u201cdo I see your finish?Well, rather.I can see it

right?Well! well 1 well {7 It was Bannon\u2019s turn to die, but vooley was up next, and the fan addressed him like an old friend.\u201cNow, Cap,\u201d he called out, \u2018soak soak it, s-o-uk it.Remember the Maine, Cap, and lace it.\u201d \u2018The Cap laced it.The ball rolled for two bases, and the fan yeil- ed like a calliope as Barry and Shearon both came in.The rest of them expired, but the fan restored confidence by further loud references to pie and lead-pipe cinches.He kept on yelling as the Visitors Died Easily, and cheered some more when Korwan gave Miner his base on balls, and the Montreal pitcher came home on Barrys attempt to steal second.Then Springfield came along with no less than four runs, as the result of two hits and a wiid pitch, and the fan was not feeling so Joyous.He squandered 5 cents on peanuts, and said \u201cOh well, the game is young yet, but we are in it, see?\u201d , _ The fan was right.The third innings will pass into history.\u201cCheer up

Governinent that year increased the debt of the Dominion by $26,751,414.Even in 1889-90 they expended %6,778,663 on capital \u2018account, and in 1804-95, the last full year but, one before they went out of power, their cxpenditure on consolidated fund was 838,132,005, and their capital expenditure $3,030,490.The consolidated fund estimates of the year 1898-99 are swelled by several large extra items.For instance, there is $760,- 000 for the working expenses and rental of the extension of the Intercolonial to Montreal.This, of course, it is expected the revenue will recoup.In the main estimates there is an item of $400,000 for the government of the Yukon, and in the supplementary estimates there is $25,000 additional.These, of course, are entirely new items and are uncontrollable.There is a further item of $140,000 for Yukon militia, an expenditure to which no objection can be made.Then there is an item for the taking of the plebiscite of $250,000, whicl.is also a new item, and another new item of $180,000 to provide a new steamer to take the place of the Stanley between Prince Edward Island and the mainland.The articles of Confederation stipulate for a steamship service between the island and the mainland.The efficiency of the customs service requires a boat down here, and it is proposed to send the Stanley to that service as soon as the new steamer is ready for the mail service.That item is, therefore, an extraordinary one.Taking into account, therefore, the unforeseen and necessary items for the Yukon and the new and necessary items for the extension of the 1.C.R.to Montreal, together with the plebiscite and the Prince Edward Island service, they total in round figures £1,100,000.and, deducting these from the total estimates, leaves $20,587.912~-not much of a jump over the Tory estimates of 1894-95, or 1896-97.MUSIC AND DRAMA.Il Trovatore.At the Academy of Music, during the past week, the Jaxon Opera Company has presented

feeling locally, and prices of vellows have been reduced about 1-16.Grenulated, however, remains unchanged and is pretty firm at 4 1-2¢ for standard granulated, 4 5-16c for Canadian-German, and 3 9-16¢ to 4 1-16¢ for yellows, according to quality at the factory.The demand does not amount to very much at present, bu the preserving season will soon be here and there is every prospect of an improvement.Raws in the lecding markets are also somewhat quieter.There is no particular feature in the mol- êsses market, the Guild prices being un- chanod at 30e for car lots and 3lc for smaller quantities.More activity has been noticed in the tea market of late, the buying being chiefly Y people across the line.One sale of packages Japan was made at 16c to 18\u20ac end one lot of 300 Ping-Suez at 17c to 2e far shipment to the States.Another lot of the latter was also shipped on con- Signment, and in a local way 300 boxes furpowders were placed at 13c.Advices from Yokohama are very bullish and speak of higher prices on the better des- Criptions, \u2019 The situation of the rice market is unchanged.The feeling is firm, and as for- Hie advices continue strong, prices are uily

firm.The receipts of new wool are increasing in the country.Hides are scarce and in active demand.Groceries are picking up and the demand for sugars is expected to be more active soon.Hog products are in good demand and very firm.The grain markets are dull and there has been a considerable decline in the prices of wheat.Crop prospects are excellent.BUILDER AND STRENGTHENER, That is the Term an Ottawa Lady Ap plies to Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills, Among many in Ottawa and the vicinity who have been benefitted one way or another by the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills for Pale People, the Journal has learned of the case of Mrs.Gilchrist, wife of Mr.T.V.Gilchrist, of Hintonburgh.Mr.Gilchrist keeps a grocery at the corner of Fourth avenue and Cedar street, and is well known to a great many people in Ottawa as well as to the villagers or this suburb of the Capital.Mrs.Gilchrist states that while in a \u201crun down\u201d condition during the spring of 1897, she was greatly strengthened and built up by the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills.Speaking of the matter to a Journal reporter, she stated that while able to go about at the time she was far from well; her blood was poor, she was subject to headaches, and felt tired after the slightest exertion.She had read at different tunes of cures effected by the use of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills, and decided to try them.She was benefitted by the first box and continued their.use until she had taken five boxes, when she considered herself quite recovered.Mrs.Gilchrist says that she always strongly recommends Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills as a builder and strengthener, when any of her friends are weak or ailing.An Episode in Newspaper Life.(Printer and Publisher.) It does not pay to boast in print, unless sure of your ground.Some years ago, two newspaper men, representing rival papers in an Ontario city, were going down the St.Lawrence on a steamer.Among the passengers was Hon.Edward Biake.Mr.Blake always objects to a formal interview, though kind enough in furnishing information.The newspaper mau who represented a Liberal paper had a long talk of an hour\u2018#ith Mr.Blake while the boat was gliding down the rapids.1ne other fellow, being a Conservative, and not knowing Mr.Blake, wondered how he could get some information to offset the flaming interview which he anticipated would appear in the rival sheet.It was in the summer of 1887, just after Mr.Blane had resigned the Liberal leadership, and when every word he said was interesting.\u2018i he puzzled Tory went to a friend of Mr.Blake, who was on board, and explained the situation: Would he obtain from Mr.Blake any information that could be made public?The boat reached Montreal, and the two men wired back to their respective papers.The Liberal wired briefly to this effect (as appeared next day when he got home), that Mr.Blake had gone down to Murray Bay by steamer, and that the only newspaper man he would speak to while on board was \u201cyour reporter, who had a long, confidential conversation with the Liberal leader.The interview.at oir.Blake\u2019s request, cannot be published.\u201d The Tory gave half a column concerning election protests, Mr.Blake's own movements, and several matters of great puctic interest.The chuckles of certain people in that Ontario city when the two papers appeared are heard even unto this day.I suppress names out of consideration for the other fellow.The guileless Tory was myself.THE HERALD, SAUTRDAY, JUNE 11, 1898.T0 PRESERVE THE FNTH OF ISRAEL Ürthodox Hebrews Meet in Conference to Check Defecticns from the Ancient Standards.FAVOR ZIONIST MOVEMENT Declaration of Principles Adopted Insisting on Adherence to Established Rites, pre ARE STILL A SEPARATE PEOPLE.>\u2014 New York, June 11.\u2014A conference of orthodox members of the Jewish faith ot this country and Canada was begun yesterday morning in the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, at Central Park, West and Seventieth street.It is the outcome | of much discussion among orthodox Hebrews, who have felt for some time that too many of the younger element of the faith were slipping away from it.Among the leaders in the movement are the Rev.Dr.H.Pereira Mandes, of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, and the Rev.Dr.M.De Sola, of Montreal.The conference organized by electing these officers:\u2014President, the Rev.Dr.Meniese, of New York; first vice-presi- dent, Dr.Kline, of New York; second vice-president, Dr.De Sola, of Montreal; third vice-president, Dr.Schneedberger,ot Baltimore; fourth vice-president, IK.H.Sarasohn, of New York; secretaries, Max Cohen and J.Bruchalter, of New York.Zionism Favored.The first matter of importance taken up was \u201cZionism,\u201d The committee\u2019s report on that subject was read.It states that events have shown that Palestine can be developed to a remarkable degrce.The proposal to assist existing colonies by the addition to these of desirable members and by opening depots for the reception and sale of their products in the commercial centres of Europe and America was highly commended.The report advocated the dissemination of better facilities for teaching the higher branches of the Hebrew language in Palestine and also a higher quality of Jewish literature.The report continues:\u2014 .; \u201cWhen this is done the misconceptions of Israel, his religion and his destiny, prevalent among Jews and Gentiles, will be removed.There is nothing incompatible between enthusiastic adherence to (Zionism and the most ardent American patriot- sm.\u201cThe Jew, believing in the promises ot the prophets, looks forward to the time when all men shall dwell unitedly and in peace, enquiring not of one another as to race of birthplace, but while waiting the fulfilment of his ideal of _ the pertect brotherhood of men he remains a faithful and law-abiding citizen of that nation where his lot is cast.There is no reason why a Jew should hesitate to be a resident ot Palestine any more than of America, Great Britain or any other nation.To Preserve the Faith.Then followed a discussion -on the declaration of principles, -but thèy were adopted as originally made.Among other changes, they include ti e following: We affirm our belief in the existence ot God.His revelation to Israel, the comine of a personal Messiah and the future life, as set forth in the thirteen principles of Maimonides.We declare that the prophets in no way discountenance ceremonial duty, but condemned it only when the personal life of those who observed ceremonial law were not spiritual.Ceremonial law is not optative.It is obligatory.We hold that the Talmud contains the traditional and legal interpretation of the Scriptures, and that the Rabbinical exposition already received is binding; that the Abrahamis ceremonial is indispensable for the admission of males into Judaism, and intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles cannot be permitted unless the Gentile is converted from conviction and complies with the requirements of our existing laws.That we are still a nation, though t-m- porarily without a national home, and that the restoration of Zion is the legitimate aspiration of scattered Israel, in no way conflicting with our loyalty to the land in which we dwell or may dwell at any time.We believe that in our dispersion we are to be united with our rethren of alien faith in all that devolves upon men as citizens, but as religiously in rites, ceremonies, ideals and doctrines, we ae separate, and must remain separate in accordance with the Divine declaration, \u201cI have separated you from the nations to be mine.\u201d A resolution was passed making the Orthodox Jewish Congregationalists of America an established society, to promote the religious interests of the Jews in this country.At to-day\u2019s conference a constitution and bylaws will be adopted.Itching, Burning, Skin Diseases Cured * for Thirty-five Cents.Dr.Agnew\u2019s Ointment relieves in one day and cures Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Eczema, Barber\u2019s Itch, Ulcers, Blotches and all eruptions of the skin.It is soothing and quieting, aud acts like magic in the cure of all baby humors.35c.Sold by B.E.McGale, 2123 Notre Dae street.An Old Favorites.America to Great Britain.All hail!

BUDGET.The \u201cEvening Telegraph,\u201d Dublin, publishes a letter from Mr.C.R.Devlin, protesting generally against hostility to Canada as a field for emigrants, and particularly against the use of the phrase, \u201cManacles and Manitoba.\u201d The \u201cTelegraph\u201d comments as follows: \u201cThe Canadian Commissioner, who writes us an interesting letter to-day on the subject of a recent article, in which we referred to Lord Salisbury\u2019s policy of \u201cManacles and Manitoba,\u201d rather misunderstands the purport of our observations.We intended to denounce the twin-remedy of coercion and emigration as a means of settling the Irish question, and not in any way to depreciate Canada as a field for the Irish emigrant.The phrase \u201cManacles and Manitoba,\u201d has unfortunately conte to be regarded as briefly descriptive of Lord Salisbury\u2019s famous policy, but our correspondent may feel assured that alliteration had a good deal more to do with the birth of that phrase than any hostility to Manitoba or to Canada as a whole._ \u201cOn the contrary, we quite believe that at the present moment Canada is a much better field for the Irish emigrant than the United States.Of the treatment of our people in the Dominion we have uusthing to say that is not praiseful.As Mr.i)ev- lin says, Irish Catholics have there risen to higher positions, and the fact that three Catholics, two of them Irish, are members of the present Canadian \u2018Government is a proof of the fact.Indeed, as regards the high positions of State, the Irish have been more favored in Canada than in the States, and far be it from us to say anything which aight be construed as an obstruction to the work of Mr.Devlin 1n trying to secure as large a proportion as possible of Irish emigrants for the Dom- mom We should prefer our people to stay at home altogether, but if they will rot or cannot stay, we are convinced that as warm a welcome, and as good, if not better, prospects await them in Canada as in any part Of the globe.\u201d A report on the Vaccination Bill now before Parliament bas been drawn up by the Council and Parliamentary Bills Committee of the British Medical Association.Stress ig laid upon the operation of vacei- nation being perfectly aseptic, and the consequent difficulties sometimes likely to arise in the case of treating patients in crowded districts at their own homes.The committee are of opinion that to extend the age limit for children from three to twelve months is unwise.They recommend that a child be vaccinated at the age of six months, and insist upon the importance of re-vaccination at a later date.* + » The number of royal birthdays during the month of May has been very large.Queen Victoria was seventy-nine on Tuesday, and the Duchess of York was thirty- one on Wednesday.The Duke of Con- naught celebrated his forty-eighth birthday on the 1st of the month, and Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein was twen- ty-eight on the 3rd inst.Among other royal personages nearly connected with our own royal house whose birthdays fall in May are the German Crown Prince, who was sixteen on the 6th inst, the Princess Marie of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who celebrated her twentieth birthday on the 8th, Prince Friedrich-Carl of Hesse- Cassel, who was thirty on the lst inst., and the Czarewitch, who completed his twenty-seventh Jear on the 9th inst, * * Mr.Spencer Walpole, who has just died at the age of 92, was thrice Home Secretary under Lord Derby\u2014in 1852, 1857- 59, and 1866, when the circumstances, attendant on the Hyde Park riots brought his Ministerial career to a premature close \u2014 and was-a member for the University of Cambridge from 1856 to 1882, having previously sat fôr Midhurst.He was a fine speciman of high-minded and cultivated Conservative statesman of the old school.His toryism ig home politics did not prevent him any fore than others of Sir Robert Peel's disciples from having a warm feeling for the cause of humanity and freedom in the Fast, and it deserves to be remembered that in the memorable Years from 1876 to 1879 he disapproved of Lord Beaconsfield\u2019s pro-Turkish policy, and, if we remember aright, abstained from supporting the Tory Government on the occasion when*that policy was *hal- lenged by Mr.Gladstone in the House of Commons.No one could know him without having a sincere respect for his upright and genial character.: » * » 1t has been decided to bestow on a warrant signed by the Queen, a pension upon Mr.W.E.Henley\u2014a national recognition of his services to English literature.Similar recognitions were, it will be recalled enjoyed by Tefinyson and Matthew Arnold, 8 * * One who has fust reached England from Samoa stales that there is no ground whatever for the published statement that the grave of Robert Louis Stevenson is falling into decay.Indeed, to those who have made that terrific climb of 650 feet\u2014 as it were up the side of a wall\u2014through thick bush to the clearing at the summit, and have seen the heavy blocks of Portland cement with the inscribed brass plate inset which constitute the grave, the statements so freely circulated have carried their own refutation.What is quite probable is that Vailima, the home of Stevenson, is becoming overgrown and falling into neglect.It was as ephemeral as structures of the kind generally are in tropical lands.* * + At the London Sheriff\u2019s Court lately, the case of McLeod vs.Lucas, an action for breach of promise of marriage, remitted from the Hugh Court for the assessment of damages, came on for hearing.The plaintiff was Miss Lizzie McLeod, aged 24, a cashler employed in a city house, and the defendant Edwin Lucas, a master butcher, ot Market Square, Leighton-Buzzard.Counsel, in opening the oase, said that the plaintiff stated that early in November, 1895.she became acquainted with the defendant, who came to the city twice a week to buy meat.As a matter of fact, the defendant, who was a man of about 40 vears of age, accosted the plainti,¥ whilst on her wav home one night, and the young lady, thinking he was a gentleman, had tea with him in a restaurant.The two met on several\u201d occasions afterwards, and eventually the \u2018defendant proposed to the young Indy and was accepted.Eventually she discovered that Mr.Lucas was a married man with three children.The jury assessed the damages at £100, and judgment was given with costs.* » \u201c Probate has heen granted in London of the will, which bears the date July 9, 1894, of Sir Henry Bessemer, F.R.S., of Denmark Hill, Camberwell, inventor of the Bessemer steel, who died on the 15th March last, aged 85 years, son of the late Mr.Anthony Bessemer, of Charlton, Herts.The gross value of Sir Henry Ressemer\u2019s estate has been entered at £92.- 538 6s 5d, and the net value of the per sonalty estate at £58,217 17s 10d, but the will appears to indicate that he had disposed by gift

but, in any proper military meaning of the word, it is no more a \u2018reserve\u2019 than the census blue-books are\u2014being simply a force on paper and a farce in practice.Next, we must remember that the Militia Act lays down the law for an active force of 50,000, and says that many things shall\u2019 or \u2018may\u2019 be done for the \u2018improving\u2019 and \u2018better training\u2019 of the \u2018said\u2019 force.But the practical outcome of all these good Would Ca case of war?That tion whi Intentions is a total of 36,000 of all ranks.ese 36,000 men are as good a force as a Country which persists in playing at sol- ers can ever hope to have.militia is better than Canada.has any right to expect;

a course \u2014~\u2014\u2014\u2014 Indeed, the.of training, which is always a little beyond him, the annual inspection comes, and with it a pat on the back, after which he is in a fair way towards thinking himself quite the knowing old hand.If the Canadian Tommy Atkins is to be given a fair chance of learning his work, he must go through a regular recruit-course before being put into the ranks at all.If nothing better can be done for him, his first year s service should be made a recruit course pure and simple.Nothing really good can come of it until the system is given a beginning, a middle, and an end, by being based upon the three militia R\u2019s\u2014Re- cruits, Ranks and Reserves.The disproportion between the total of all ranks given in the Militia List and the actual number of rifles ready for the fire-fight is rather alarming to the military eye, and must be somewhat mysterious to the civilian.In the average bat- talion\u2014which is under 300 all told\u2014there are barely 200 actual combatant rank-and- file.When you have deducted from these all recruits in their first year of service, all men under 20 and over 50, all under the standard height or chest measurement, and all physically unfit, you will be lucky to find much more than 100 left.By re-enlisting old hands, you might get back to the establishment of 200; but beyond that you could not go.Then there is the tendency towards allowing rifle practice to become a mere branch ot sport, an affair of cups and badges, of crack shots and championship teams.Of course, the sport of it is wholly admirable in itself, and the more crack shots we have the better; but the first military consideration is the training of sections and companies in effective fire-tactics.In the great drama of real battle we do not 80 much want a trodpe composed of a few \u201cstars\u201d and many \u201csticks\u201d as a fire-unit of more well-balanced power.- The Cavalry.The cavalry, hesides suffering from all the ills that infantry is heir to, has plenty of troubles of its own; its development 18 Simply impossible under present circumstances, and it urgently requests to be given a generous measure of reform all round.To begin with, it is absurd to treat cavalry in exactly the same way as infantry.lt needs a longer recruit.course, longer annual trainings and longer service in the ranks before passing into the reserve; also a stronger peace establishment.Again, it must be trained as cavalry, and not in two directions at once.The attempt to produce a force of trooper- riflemen has always resulted in failure, and always will.To get some idea of the difficulties in the way of a field battery, we must add most of the infantry and cavalry together, and throw in the questions of draught horses, of ammunition columns, and of all the intricacies of a complicated material of war.The engineers are the fourth arm of the service, and are an indispensable auxiliary to the other three.The Canadian Militia has just two active companies and a reserve of officers! This speaks for itself.How Would You Feed Them?What do you think would happen if this whole Militia was called out together?What indeed! There are twelve military districts in Canada, each with some sort of brigade staff.But there are considerably over 100 separate units, not more than four of which could be safely formed into one brigade.Now, four times twelve make forty-eight; so you have used up your staff before you are half through with brigades alone.After brigades come divisions, requiring larger staffs; and after divisions come army corps; and after that\u2014 The Peluge.Capt.Wood takes u sariat, the transport and the hospital corpa, and other necessaries in the field.These are practically unprovided for, which would render the whole army useless.He then concludes with a few words of sugges- ion.\u201cReorganization,\u201d he continues, \u201cis beyond the scope of the present article.All that can be done here is to set down an A, B, C suggestion for it.The militia must have, first of all, complete organic life, and all its organs full proportional development, lest the breakdown of one organ should cause the death of the whole body; secondly, there must he recruits, ranks and reserves: and thirdly, an effective, peace-establishment numbering one- hundredth part of our population, should he trained for an average of one-twentieth part o f the year.Surely this is not excessive; anl it is well worth aiming at, for the militia, reorganized within these limits, would fully safeguard Canada, without in the lcast straining her resources Battle of the Baltic.Like leviathans afloat Lay their bulwarks on the brine While the sign of battle flew.It was the tenth of April morn by the chime And they drifted on their path; There was silence deep as death, And the boldest held his breath For a time.\u201cHearts of oak,\u201d\u2019our captain cried, when each gun \u2018From its adamantine lips Spread a death shade round the ships Like the hurricane\u2019s eclipse Of the sun.Again! again! again!

For those who delve at the noting of events the telephone exchange is a study that is never-ceasingly interesting.lt moves every day.You have only to look at its accounts to see how business is going; if trade is brisker or more limp, whether the times are progressive or retrograding.Whatever is going on in the financial and commercial world is unfalter- ingly recorded, and to gainsay its mechanical accuracy would be like questioning the multiplication table ! ; Why are women chosen as operators instead of men?i There are several good and sufficient reasons.In the first place the clear feminine quality of voice suits best the delicate instrument.Then girls are usually more alert than boys, and always more patient.Women are more sensitive, more amenable to discipline, far gentler and more forbearing than men.When they first apply for the position they are tested, not nly as to acuteness of hearing, but as to netx the commis.mental alertness.Test is Difficult.Many girls fail to stand the test.These belong to the wearisome class of persons who are always saying : \u201cI beg pardon.\u201d \u201cHow's that?\u201d \u201cI din\u2019t catch what you sai\u201d.\u2019\u201d \u201cPlease repeat.\u201d It isn\u2019t so much lac: of good hearing as jt is lack of a quickly moving intelligence.You couldn\u2019t have operators like that around here.It would burst up the concern.When girls are able to successfully pass the examination they begin to be trained.\u2018Lhe manager insists upon their speaking distinctly and courteously.The rising intiec- tion is also insisted upon.It makes \u201ca pleasant sounding rejoinder, so that when a subscriber roars, \u201cGimme 751, and get a move on you,\u201d instead of the operator dropping the telephone and running off to hit the gruff-mouthed one with a club, as a man would feel inclined to do, the girl answers pleasantly with a rising inflection, and hard words as well as blows are saved.Boys and men are less patient.They have alwavs the element of fight in them.When spoken to roughly and rudely they are not going to give the soft answer.Not they.And every man is a crank when he gets on a phone.The personal equation stands for naught.He is looing into the blank wooden counternance of the receiver and it docsn\u2019t inspire him with respectful politeness.sie is in a hurry; if he were not he would not be using the phone.So he is mad if he is not instantly answered; mad if \u201cI'he line is busy\u2019 comes to him, and most consummately mad if he thinks he is any way suffering neglect.Then he talks back: \u201cHi, there, central! Are you asleep?For heaven's sake wake up!\u201d To which jeremiad the patient operator calls back sweetly, \u201cNumber, please?\u201d with the pleasantest of infections.Do you think a man operator would do this?Not often.So you see why women are best.Nevertheless the telephone girl is not abused.Not in Montreal.She is taught to answer impatience with patience, unam- \u2018ability with kindness and consideration, but woe betide the hasty subscriber who forgets that the \u2019phone is feminine, and delivers himself of a \u2018big, big The manager is a strict disciplinarian, but he is perfectly just.The operators must do their utmost duty, but they may not sutrer indignity.Whenevér any profanity or foul language has come over the \u2019phone that subscriber has been promptly cut off if the operator reports him\u2014and it serves him right.; For pure air, perfect cleanliness and opportunities for rest the telephone exchange could scarcely be excelled.The girls are not regarded as so many machines, to be kept running at the highest possible rate of speed, and to be chucked aside when worn out and broken down.The management realizes that it is far better to keep able and experienged operators than to be continually initiating new ones, and that the best obtainable class of girls, well bred and educated, is none too good for this important branch of the public service.So there is a distinct effort to keep the girls in as good physical conaiuion as possible, and to prevent their health from running down.To this add resting- rooms, relief operators, a lunchroom, comfortable sofas and chairs, plenty of tea and hot water, and thoroughly efficient matrons are provided.Not Worked to Death.No girl works more than two or two and a half hours without fifteen minutes\u2019 rest.Telephoning is a good deal of a nervous strain, and this is recognized.The relief operator goes the rounds, and stands behind the chair of the girl to be relieved until the opportune moment comes, and then the busy operato® slips from her chair, transfers the harness from her head to that of_the relieving party, and goes for fifteen Tong, lovely minutes to lounge in the reading room over a new magazine, or else to rearrange her hair or to drink a comforting cup of tea.Sometimes the girls take a tour around the block in their lunch interval, but not often.The inside of the exchange is more attractive than the outside, and the luncheon-room is very jolly.There is always any amount of hot water and unlimited tea, and the matron is there all day, a kind-faced genius of the simple medicine | box, so that a girl may wrestle with a sick headache for an hour and be back at her work again, because she has had attention, remedies, and a place to rest in, whereas if she had been situated out of reach of these she must have succumbed, gone home, and lost a whole day's work.None but the working girl can really comprehend the magnitude of this comfort.A Day\u2019s Work.All day long, and all night, the tele: phone exchange is open, and all day, and all night the operators are women.They come in relays, and none works more than six, seven or eight hours.The morning corps comes on at 8.\"This is for the service of the arduous businèss day.The first action of the girls is to deposit their outer wraps and their luncheons in little wire lockers provided for them with a thoughtfulness for ventuation.Then each girl carefully brushes her shoes and her clothes.This is imperative.Brushes, stools, whisk brooms are provided in plenty, for no dust must be carried into the operating-rooms, where the slightest speck between the plug and the hole will serve either to cut off the subscriber or else to render the connection poor.There are abundant accessories for the toilet.There are plenty of mirrors, and inducements to exquisite cleanliness everywhere.The Favorite Questions.The telephone girl gets, on an average, asked 1,400 times each day \u2018What time is it?\u201d This she repiies to after a glance at the clock, which is always near.She meets with other strange queries.À big fire, a new war bulletin.an exciting accident, and her hands and ears and brain can scarcely keep up with the rush of calls, ; Were it not for the mental exhilaration she herself receives, she couid not stan it.As it is, the work is nervous and exciting, and no one who has seen the telephone girl at work in a rush time is ever again going to snarl at her when she gives the wrong number, or chants back the pleasant \u201cThe line is busy.\u201d Sometimes a girl wins an admirer by the charm of her speaking voice and the courtesy of her replies.In this way romances start, and, alas, are sometimes dcomed *o be shattered, for, though than a beautiful voice there is no truer indication of character, oftentimes thc face is mot so interest\u2018ng as the voice, and the beauty-lover suffers a violent shock to his imagination.Of course, this applies to cther cities, not to our Montreal cxchange.Throughout the exchange it is pronounced that flirting is taboo, and that the girls really haven't time for it, but when was ever anv part of the world so busy that it did not {ind leisure to entertain Dan Cupid.or \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 et.cn tart.Sint.+ Sra Mr.Dooley on Prayers for Victory.\u201cIt looks to me,\u201d said Mr.Dooley,

Would Run from the Military Head of a Big Army.Le CHOSEN PEOPLE SUPERSTITION, \u2014\u2014 Toronto, June 10.\u2014Mr.Goldwin Smith writes in the Weekly Sun :\u2014 The war retains the character which it had frem the beginning, and which it will no doubt preserve to the end.The hapless Spaniards are being hciplessly slaughtered by an enemy probably not superior to them in valor, but infinitely superior to them in mechanical skill, and in all the scientific engines and appliances of modern war.The sides of their ships and the walls of their forts are mere pasteboard to the artillery of the present day.The whole affair, if it were not so miserable, would be farcical; it is like putting one\u2019s leg through a band-box.The enemy pays the Spaniards the compliment of delaying to invade Cuba, but this can only be an adjournment of their doom.Their situation is that of a man defending himself with a cudgel against assailants armed with revolvers, and the undiplo- feelings cannot help sympathizing with the weaker arm.All friends of humanity will pray for a speedy end.As to Anglo-Saxon Blood.To say, with any approach to exactness, how much of Anglo-Saxon blood, and how much of the biood of other races there is in the mixture now called Anglo-Saxon, is absolutely beyond our power.The increase of a dominant raee is less than that of the subject races because its members are more restrained from marrying and having childre by economical and social considerations.Anglo-Saxon alliance, therefore, if it rested on pedigree, would have but a sandy foundaticn.It is true that the Anglo-Saxon has been the formative as well as the dominant element, and that by it chiefly the British character has been moulded.But the Anglo-Saxon character has undergone marked change, as the natural eflect of new conditions, in passing from the Old Country to this hemisphere.The correspondent of an linglish Journal the other day, visiting this side ot the water, said that he had never felt himself in so foreign a country.This was a literary embellishment.Yet it is true that Anglo-Saxon alliance, if it were based on anything into which character enters, would have almost as insecure a foundation as it would if it were based on identity of race.What is the Object.The all-important question, however, is what would be the object of the alliance?Would it be the propagation of Anglo- Saxon institutions?Parliamentary Government and trial by jury have \u2018already rropagated themsclves over the civilized world.Would it be the extension of a commercial system?The United States are protectionist, while Great Britain is free trade, and Great Britain is for sound currency, while the American Senate the other day voted by a large majority that the public creditor might be paid in base coin.Would it be the dissemination of ideas?Tdeas can only be disseminated only by intellectual agencies, which have no relation whatsoever to diplomatic or political combinations.Would it be world-wide domination?All the other nations would unite to put the alliance down.; It is for the military and naval authorities to say how far two powers on opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean would be of use to each other in war.Could the Amer- [dcan fleet afford to leave its own coast unguarded and act with the British fleet in the Baltic.the Mediterranean or the Eux- ine.Could the American army co-operate with that of England in resisting a twue- sian invasion of India?Could the united forces of the two powers, opposed to the combined navies of Enrope, secure to Great Britain the free imnortation of food and raw materials without which her myriads of artisans would starve?Do Not Want an Alliance.Against a formal alliance at the present junciure there is the insuperable objection that 1t would comimt us to the designs of the purty at Washington which has made this unhappy war, and which might drag its confederates with itself into the depths of dishonor.liven those who look forward with hope and confidence to the ultimate re-union of the English-speaking race upon this continent, seeing what policy is now in the ascendant at Washington, will be apt to decline partnership for the present, and to wait for a turn of the moral tide.The British and Canadian advocates of alliance fancy that they are dealing with the whole American pecple.They are dealing with the jingo party at Washington.there is nothing yet to show that the masses of the American people, though they have been drawn into this business by the fate of the Maine, would be willing to ally themselves with the Imperialist and aristocratic party in England for the promotion of ambitious designs.Nor is it by any means certain that the working classes in Great Britain, even if they are carried away for the moment, will in the end support a policy so fraught with danger to their bread.Improvement of commercial relations with the TTnited States, amicable settlement of angrv questions, mutual abrogation of hostile measures such as Alien Labor Acts, are ohiects at once substantial and | attainable.These the present access of rood feeling, welcome from whatever source it arises, may help us to secure.We may also rejoice in our release from the fan- cled necessity of wasting the earnings of our npeonle in military preparations against phantom invasion.or in building antagonts- tie lines of railwav without regard to the natural routes of commerce in order tn divert trafic from the United States.What the Canadian farmer wants is not costly domination over other countries.But a rand marlet.light taxation, and cheap living in hig awn.The Chosen People Superstition.There is an association in England for proving the identity of the Anglo-Saxon race with the Ten Lost Tribes, and its title to share with the rest of the Chosen People the dominion of the world.Of all superstitions, the grossest is that which implies favoritism on the part of the Fa- fer of All.What did Paul mean when ail that God had made of one blood matic spectator who yields to his natural | all the nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth?This notion of exclusive domination oË race is surely not less rational than inhuman.The existence of the family of nations, each with its different gifts and characteristics, freely developed, is not less necessary to the well-being of each member of it than is the existence of his family and social circle to the well-being of the individual man.Instead of exulting in the weakness of a decayed nation, and proceeding to crush it, we should, if we knew our true interest, rather encourage its restoration, as the recovery of wealth, moral and material, for the common store.Above all nations is humanity, outrages on which, such as the war demon of the United States seems now bent on committing, are far more productive of evil to the whole community of nations than any local improvement, even supposing the American to be a better ruler of sub- Ject races than the Spaniard, car be productive of good.The Vanity of Empire.A century ago France, under Bonaparte, was pretending to the world-wide domination to which the Anglo-Saxon race is now being exhorted, under pretence of promoting peace and civilization, to aspire.She flattered herself that, in virtue of her superior enlightenment, she was destined to be the mistress of Europe, and that wherever her conquests extended, she was scwing Invaluable ideas in return for the far from valueless commodities which she carried away, or consumed on the spot.So it had fared with other attempts at universal empire, before that of Napoleon.Unhappily, these dreams of empire though unfulfilled, are not without effect.They breed international jealousy and hatred, stimulate militarism, and lead to the growth of bloated armaments, and a waste of the earnings of industry.on the barren purposes of war.The \u201cMaine Matter.In the American war press and manifestos, there is a sudden and general cessation of allusion to the story of the Maine.The President, when he refused to answer the Spanish proposal of impartial enquiry, must have known that the story was false, and that it was absurd to suppose that the Spanish Government or authorities could have been guilty of any- hing so suicidal as the act with which they were charged.So 1st the men about him.who used the calumny to mislead and madden the people.N ow, the very same accident of spontancous ignition in the ccal bunkers heating the wall of the magazine kaving happened on board of another vessel.the truth is glaringly manifest, ard the falschood can mislead no more.But the falschood has served its purpose, and the stain which its employment will have cast on the national character is, to the Washington politicians and the yellow journalists who got up this War, à matter of very small concern, Slav or Saxon.Which shall dominate?Shall Saxon or Slav bold supreme sway in the world?This is the question which the Hon, David Mills puts, in the North American Review, and which he answers, to his own satisfaction in favor of Saxon domination.The answer of the community of nations, it is to be hoped, will be that neither Slav nor Saxon shall dominate, but that nations and races shall be allowed to develop themselves freely, cach on its own line, and to contribute of their several gifts, political, intellectual, and industrial, to the common wealth of humanity.1t is time to reckon with these visions of race aggrandizement under philosophic forms, which would bring mankind back to barbarism, and a barbarisit mot the ics.brutal becaase it would be armed with Maxim guns.À Jingo Programme.A navy much larger than the present, a regular army of 100,000 men, with a militia centralized and drilled under the regular army, an immediate annexation of Cuba the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Nicaragua Canal, with an unlimited vista of territorial aggrandizement bevond \u2014such is the programme which Washington jingoiem now proposes for the people of the United States.The American commonwealth of industry, in short, is to be turned into a great filibustering war power, like those of the Old World.Excitable and impulsive as the American people are, they wm-probably hesitate before performing this somersault with the character and destinies of their community.If the Democratic party understands its own interest, it will drop Silver and form on the lines of the American Commonwealth.The commander of a regular army of a hundred thousand men would be master of the liberties of the country.Atkins to His American Cousin.(After Kipling.)

Or, at least, the Government might have provided rough boards, from which the men could have sawed themselves a few feet of flooring.No one Soldiers Neglected.* We are in the habit of pitying the soldier of Europe as badly treated.d'or downright neglect, 1 have seen nothing to beat the way the American is treated by Uncle Sam.! Who is responsible for this meanniess, which is seriously affecting the health ot our mien?In this hot climate we yearn for fresh fruit and vegetables, for anything that will quench thirst and at the same time cool the blood.Meat and all heating things we try to avoid by a wise instiner., The troops, however, are supplied with only that which 18 most unscasonable \u2014 greasy pork, and beans of that brown quality that makes one ready to spend the rest of the day in a watermelon patch.The result is that already the camp doctors are busy every morning with men and officers.The war is thirty days in swing.Tt took less time than that tor Germany to put half a million well-trained men on the French frontier in 1870.\u2018To-day we look in vain for a single regiment fit to take the field.We hear much in the political organs of throwing fifty thousand men over into Cuba and taking Havana, yet here we are drilling recruits and waiting for regiments to fili up.The strength ot a regument is nominally twelve hundred men.As a matter of fact, the average number is less than six hundred Who js responsible ?: 0° Why Drilled in Tampa?Every day raw recruits are dumped down here out of an incoming train, and they are taken out into the deep sand and mada to move their legs up and down until exhausted nature cries owt for rest.Drill sergealits and recruits soon lose their taste tor calisthenics in the roasting pine barracks of Tampa.The ordinary man asks why were not those recruits licked into shape up in the cool North, and sent down properly clothed and armed.ho is responsible?If the invasion should take place to-morrow, half the men would be in civilian dress, raw recruits who had probably never before had a gun in their hands.Tampa is a seaport town, and, therefore, one might have expected that our super- heated \u201ctroops would have been so located as to enjoy a salt-water bath at least once a day.One or two regiments near Port Lampa have managed to locate near the beach, but the bulk of the troops are so far from the water that the journey to and from rébs them of any benefit they might otherwise derive from a swim.The Government provides them no bath houses, not even a trough at which they may take baths by instalments.So far the weather has been oppressively hot and dry.It will be a miracle if disease does not break ous when the rains begin.As to Provisions.T4 While Uncle Sam\u2019s boys are parching for fresh food and vegetables, trainloads are leaving Florida filled with succulent fruit for northern markets.The army is lumbered up with civilian staff offtcers, whose duty it is to see thaw our men are properly located and taken care of.In European armies staff officers are selected from the most highly educated of the army.They have to pass special examinations in order to test their fitness for a variety of special duties of the most important kind; and of all important duties, the German officer regards the care of the men\u2019s health as the most important.When nn German regiment marches to war, the ptaff officer goes ahead to lay out a proper camping ground, to provide wood and water and in other respects to make the regiment about to arrive as comfortable as possible.When the weary men arrive they have but to cook their supper and curl up to sleep.20; The United Bates troops who arrive in Tampa are dumped out at a railway siding like so many emigrants.No staff officer prepares anything in advance for them.Regiments go off in any direction that suits them, looking for the nearest place where they may cook their pork and beans.In no army of Europe, not even in Spain, have 1 seen troops so badly treated through the incompetence of staff officers, who to-day are strutting about in new uniforms, when they ought to be whistled out of camp as frauds.1 £ 3 Military Efficiency.Let us turn now from the matter ot health and comfort to that of military efficiency.The war authorities have crowded together in and about Tampa several thousand men on the pleausile pretext that in a big camp of this kind the troops could be excrcised in large bodies, and the (Continued on page 11.) 10 THE SCOTTISH COVENANTERS, Continued from Page 19 A court of high commissioners was appointed, presided over by the Archbishop of St.Andrew\u2019s.It was a veritable Scottish inquisition.It had power to summons, fine, imprison or banish at its own pleasure.The religious liberty of Scotland was smitten and stunned, but not slain.The power of James was in the ascendant.\u201cAnd did he triumph?So he deemed; But had he triumphed?No, he dreamed.\u201d There are many anomalies, but no greater anomaly ever existed than James the First of England.The Presbyterians contended for the supreme authority of Scripture.There had been many translations of the Bible\u2014 translations by learned men, great linguists and scholars.There had not been one that bore the stamp of authority.Language ard words frequently changed their meaning.James was requeseted by a good man\u2014Dr.Reynolds (1604)\u2014to have a pew translation of the Bible, one that should be more exact and answer to the original, James consented, the result being our present authorized version, which had done invaluable service as a spirituai agency and has become the standard ot our English tongue.In this he placed a weapon in the hands of his adversaries\u2014 the Sword of the Spirit\u2014and they were not slow to use it.James died in 1625, aged 59 years, and was succeeded by his son Charles, who was heir to all his father\u2019s faults and am- pitions as well as to his throne.Both father and son held the same royal creed: 1.Kings rule by Divine right.2.Kings are accountable to God alone.38.A King's will is above all law, and to resist it is a crime.What a sorry creed to propagate before a nation of sturdy, liberty-loving Scotchmen.; 14 The leading features in Charles\u2019 charae- ter seem to have been (1) lying, (2) treachery.dh He was as strong an Episcopalian as his father and had for his guide, counsellor &nd friend the obnoxious Archbishop Laud, who bas been described as \u201ca little square- faced, dark-eyed man\u2014the hautiest little ness ever seen.\u201d His presence in Scotland was the revelation of his mission, the supremacy of Episcopacy, the annihilation of Presbyterianism.Oh! the cruelties of this barbarous archbishop.For criticising his methods, plans and rituals, he would employ the public hangman to whip, cut off ears, slit up nostrils, brand cheeks with hot irons, and bore men\u2019s tongues.All this to force an unwilling nation to worship God in the way the King and the Archbishop dictated! The nation looked on its great heart burned with white heat indignation.Charles and Laud prepared a liturgy or service book for the use of the Scotch congregations\u2014{ramed by the Bishops of Ross ad Dumblane, on the pattern of the English Prayer Book.An order came from the King that all Scotch ministers must begin to use it on Sabbath, the 23rd of July, 1637, and coupled with the order were threatened pains and penalties for its non-use and those who did not comply were to be treated as rebels against the King and law., The day appointed arrived.A large as- gembly met in the High Church of Edinburgh.The Dean in his canonicals entered the desk profound silence reigned.With the opening of the so-called service book an uproar commenced.Janet Geddes, a woman who kept a cabbage stall on the Tron, grasped the folding stool on which she sat and threw it at the Dean\u2019s head shouting: \u201cOut, thou false thief, dost thou say mass at my lug?\u2019 The stool misgbd its mark but hit the larger mark and destroyed the prospect of the establishment of an Episcopal Church system with its service book for ever in the land of the heather.Excitement was at its height, but the King was obdurate.\u2018The people asked for concessions and modi- (ications.The King would not yield.The excitement became a storm, a storm that would not be calmed even at the rebuke of a King.A decisive measure was adopted, memorable and effective as was the Magna Char-.ta\u2014The Scottish National Covenant.Archibald Johnstone, of Warriston, has the distinguished honor of reading the document to a congregation of 60,000 persons who had gathered in Edinburgh from all parts of the country.The Covenant, with tts sacred and holy vows read as follows: \u201cWe do herebv profess.and before God, his angels and the world, solemnly declare, (ASSESSMENT SYSTEW).a RR GAA The Monarch of the Forest Is the Emblem » OF THE.Monarch of Canadian Fraterzal insurance and Benefit Societies, THE .CANADIAN.Order of Foresters Organized and Incorporated 1879.Head Office, - BRANTFORD, ONT.INVESTED IN DOMINION GOVERNMENT Bonps, $100,000.00.SuRPLUS FUNDS APRIL rst, 1858, $618,365.75, Investedin the best monetary Institutions in the Dominion of Canada, MEMBERSHIP OVER 28,000.A Purely Canadian Institution having no weakening alliances or branches in foreign and less healthy countries.Full information, rates, etc., sent on application to R.ELLIOTT, H.C.R., Ingersoll, Ont.;

but have them they will.So commenced a battle royal.The will of a King against the will of a nation.There can only be one result\u2014the nation must win.And win it did.# Charles tried to sow discord among the people and by intimidation and delay hoped to nullify the National Covenant.But the nation remained as one, confident in the strength of being a united whole.\u2018 , The King agreed to an assembly being called.It met in the old High Church of Glasgow in November, 1638.It consisted of 140 ministers, 90 ruling celders, freely chosen by their Presbyteries.Seventeen of the ruling elders were noblemen, nine were knights, twenty-four were landed proprietors, forty were burgesses in good positions in their respective communities.The Marquis of Hamilton represented the King.Tis instructions were to sow discord, create jealousy, make disunion, and all else failing then dismiss the Assembly under pain of treason.The assembly sat an entire month.The bishops were impeached for usurpation and tvranny.The prelacy was strongly denounced and condemned and swept cut of existence.The royal work of forty years was undone and destroyed forever.This victory was not to be enjoyed iu peace.The whole nation became a camp, and the people prepared for a harvest of death, clad thewnselves in the vestments of war, and with lance-head, pole ax or halbert prepared for a coming strife.Every village smithy was busily engaged transforming tools of peace and husbandry into implements of war.Towns and cities of any pretentions began to fortity themselves against aggression.Guns and cannons were secured, and placed in commanding positions.Men only accust med to the arts of peace and agriculture began to drill, and so prepare for the blandishments of war, Scotchmen who had been in continental armies returned to take part in the fray against the \u201cDeil Episcopacy.\u201d Horses were trained for artillery and cavalry.Every hill and tower became a telegraph station, upon which was erected a beacon-pole with an iron bar bearing a fire-grate or a \u201cbrander\u201d for a tar barrel.Thus were the people apprised of the approach of the common enemy.An enemy! The King the enemy of his own loyal subjects?The Covenant must be destroyed, the bishops restored and Scotland brought under the iron heel of the despot.An English army from all the points of the country were to invade the country.Scotland is prepared, and under the leadership of General Sir Alexander Leslie.He plants his standard on the gentle hill near the border town of Dunse, called Dunse Law.His artillery is placed in position\u2014forty pieces in all.A score of Scotch noblemen are here in command of their respective regiments.Drums call the whole army to morning and evening prayer.Their uniform was hodden gray, with bits of blue ribbon in their bonnets.Incessant military drill is the order of the day.Provisions are plentiful.Let the King come when he will\u2014they are ready! His Majesty came, but he hesitated to fight.ITe thinks diplomacy better than de- flance and probable defeat, A truce was arranged, an honorable peace maintained, but canny Scots as they were, they disbanded their army, but kept their powder dry, and kept also their professional officers on half pay to be ready for an emergency if it should arise.The wisdom of their course was shortly seen, for in less than a year Dunse Law was the scene of another military camp, and General Leslie was at the head of an army of 2,000 foot and 3,000 horse.Charles was again invading his northern kingdom with the same object as before.His soldiers called it a bishop\u2019s war, and were only half-hearted in its prosecution.The Covenanting army, not contented to wait, moved south, crossed the border and invaded England.Charles again de- | clined battle, and resorted to \u201ctreaty\u201d once more.He had no alternative, for his resources were low, and the English Puritans were causing him anxiety and trouble.The outcome was the famous Solemn League and Covenant, drawn up by Alexander Henderson.The Covenanters went further south and helped the Puritans, and for a time secured liberty for both nations.We cannot stop to trace the history of these stirring times.Charles disappears from the scene, being decapitated on the 30th of January, 1649, and Cromwell appears as Lord Protector of the three kingdoms.He was a great unctowned King.Scotland, in spite of the temporizing treachery and lying of the King, was still loyal to the Stuarts and the throne.This loyalty led to the violation of the Solemn League and Coverant, and England and Scotland were again at war.England against, Scotland for, the Stuarts.Leslie and Cromwell, holding the same general principles, ought to have been rather brothers in arms for their defence.Leslie held that the Stuarts were the legal Kings of the triune nation, ang should not be debarred from the throne.Cromwell held that liberty and a Stuart King could not co-exist.Dunbar and Queensferry were the scenes of deadly conflict.The Scotch were routed.The Xing and the royal leaders took a desperate, though mad.resolve.They marched from Stirling, where they had been encamped, direct upon England, \u201cto strike at the heart of the Commonwealth itself.\u201d They were 14.000 strong.Cromwell followed and overtook them at \\Worcester, with his armv of 30.000 men.On the 2rd September, 1651, he gave battla, and the invading forces were srattered.Cromwell\u2019s victory gave peace, liberty and prosperity to the whole realm.His government was firm, just and strong.Te aholished the monar-hv and closed tha Parliament of Scotland.uniting it with | that of Fngland.TTnfettered trade was established, and custom houses on the horders discontinued.The General As semb¥ for interfering in matters of polities was again suppressed in 1653.but the lower conrts\u2014evnods, preshrteries and sessions\u2014were permitted.The result was not unsatisfactory.for the historian.Kir- ton, tells us: \u201cT verily believe there were more souls converted to Christ in that short time than in anv season since the Reformation.though trifle its duration.Every parish ulmost every family a This, and in mest of the country all the children of age con'À read\u201d : The death of Cromwell rave the crown to Charles the Ssrend.and the Scoteh ra.ceived him with unbounded inv, which, alas! was snon to he turned inta mnurn- img.Charles was as bigoted an Tnigen.palian as were his two ancestors, and al- Tova, Tne HERALD, SA1URDAY, JUNE 11, 1393.most his first act was to order the Church + Scotland to be cast in the mould of Episcopacy, and to this his slavish tools went to work with a right strong will, Restoration meant to Scotland demolition of its civil and religious rights.An act of Parliament was passed forbidding \u201cto speak, preach or pray against the government of the church by bishops and archbishops.\u201d This policy produced men like James Sharp, the Archbishop of Aberdeen; Middleton, the debauchee, who had enacted on the lst October, 1662, what was called \u201cThe Drunken Act of Glasgow,\u201d which gave ministers just one month to sub- rit, or remove themselves and their families out of their churches, manses and parishes.Four hundred ministers refused to comply.The restoration in Scotland produced men like \u2018\u201cThe Curates.\u201d cruel, course, ignorant men.Men like Sir Jas.Turner, who employed the soldiery to enforce the people into conformity.Men like John Graham, of Cla- verhouse, called a soldier, but who was #imply a ruthless murderer, void of pity and more cruel than the grave.But, in spite of all, Presbyterianism would not \u201cdown.\u201d The pecple, turned cut of their churches, held their conventicles, and worshipped their God under the high vault of heaven.The drag net was vsed to sweep the people into the churches, the parish roll was called, and absentees were fined.The gallows was erected and men beheaded.Still of no avail.The Scotch Parliament was closed for five or six years, and the Privy Council governed the country.But \u201cprivy council\u201d was only another name for \u201cScottish Inquisition.\u201d A church needing such carnal weapons could hardly answer the description of the Church of Christ.All honor to th» noble ministers and the people who were contented to suffer the loss of all ghings so that they might keep their conscience clean.But what persecution could not do, policy and concession helped to effect.Persecution cursed the land for nearly 28 years.lun 1669, a measure called the \u201cIndulgence,\u201d was passed, by which many ot the \u201couted\u201d ministers were restored to their parishes and pulpits.This act of indulgence created discord among the brethren, The more strudy said, we cannot receive a commission to preach from any autherity but Christ.Persecution became more fierce against the \u201c\u2018unindulged.\u201d Coventicles became more numerous and more largely attended.Men went to them armed for self-defense.The blue-bonnet- ted Covenanters sat on the hillsides to hear the word of life, and their broadswords were laid across their open Bibles to keep down the leaves against the ruf- thing winds.Their diets of worship and their sacraments were administered in the open air.But they enjoyed the peace of God.The Church was truly in the wilderness.Martyrs were numerous; murders were rife, so much so that it was said \u201cThe bloody scaffold is a good shelter.\u201d The decade 168¢ to 1630 are memorable years in Scottish history.Its people showed the world how to suffer and be strong.In 1688 Scotland disowned the unkingly king.William of Orange landed in England, and King James became an outcast monarch and an exile in France.The reign of terror was passed.The reign ot righteousness and peace commenced.The Stuarts threw away three king- dems for a Ponish mode of worshin.Forty years before, Cromwell had safd: \u201cLiberty and Stuarts cannot exist together.\u201d The Fcotch would not believe it then.By sad and tinhanpy experience, thev learned ite truth.They found their Royal House of Blood.On the 11th of April William and Mary were accepted as their king and aueen.The Scotch people.under the altered conditions, acted with great forbearance, and did not retaliate upon their 28 years persecutors.After a 30 years adjournment, the Gen- cral Agsembly met and pursued its work in peace and freedom, never again to adjourn except at its own will and pleasure.Sentland\u2019s liberties were assured to it.The Act of Union was passed.and on the Ist day of Mav, 1707, England and Seot- land were united in insoluble hands to pursue together the unbnilding of the greatest Empire the world has ever known \u2014na union which is the synonvm to the whole world of civil and religions freedom.and from which nhvsical.mental and eniritnal glaverv hae haen ahnlished and where tho richts of liherty-loving and law- ahidine mon are sacred, Scotland, with te Natimnal Covenant has dona its share to bring about this alorinua reanit.AM honor to the nohle Covenanters, Piacatorial Doliahte Tra, Tnnncent\u2014 That AI] van Ania most ahout vour Aching trin, dear?\u2019 Ar Tnrarant\u2014\u201cT ant mest evritad when T wag reefing in, mv 9 XWTre, Innocent (havstine into tearat \u2014 \u201cAnd th\u2014 to\u2014 ththinrk ven nramiced me van wouldn't d-drink a dron.\u201d\u2019\u2014Har- tem Life.MOTHER DAUGHTER CURED.Mrs.Lydia A.Fowler, Electric Street, Amherst, N.S., testifies to the good effects of the new specific for all heart and nerve troubles: * For some time past I have been troubled with a fluttering sensation in the region of my hoart, followed by acute pains which gave me great distress end weakened me at times so that I could scarcely breathe.I was very much run down and felt nervous and irritable.\u201cI had taken a great many remedies without receiving : any benefit, and I scarcely know what to do, when a friend induced me to try Tilburn\u2019s Heart and Nerve Pills.I had only been taking them & short tine when I felt that they were doing me great good;

latterly; but the London market did not take much part in his enterprises, which were capitalized At an aggregate reaching $60,000,000 Lo $65,- 00,000.Shares in many of the concerns which Mr.Hooley

clearing $50,000,000 within one year.It was enough for the public, however, that all he touched turned to gold in the stock markets.Some of his companies had their nominal capital subscribed ten times over.His movements were chronicled like those of royalty.He established pensions for the aged, gave gold plate to churches and cathedrals, and bought yachts, race horses and historic country seats.Ilis ambition was world-wide.He imitated the Roths- childs and would have floated loans.A cheery, genial, matter of fact man, he transacted business in cabs and restaurants and out of the way places.Loving the glare of publicity he has wooed a constituency for a seat in the House of Commons.His fancy is for sheep breeding, and he loves the life of a farmer.His shooting estates are immense; the real estate he holds is enormous.He has stoed well in the London clubs, has been received in high societv, and has heen very ropular with the public.There should be many to still follow his star and help him to regain his lost position.Before deciding on the locality for your summer vacation you will find it to your interest to make inquiries about the Quebec & Lake St.John Rail way, the new

allow a brief notice of a letter with the above heading which appeared in the Witness of the 30th ult.The first statement is, that \u2018\u2018efforts are being made by disaffected parties to stir up strife in the W.C.T.U.and misrepresenting the attitude of the world\u2019s president towards legalised vice.\u201d\u201d Will the writers of that letter assume the duty of properly representing the attitude of the president on this matter?In the face of the protest of 61,000 mothers; in the face of the resolution of the Dominion W.C.T.U.assembled at Toronto, who \u2018\u2018protested as British subjects,\u201d we are curtly treated with the names of forty-eight members of the Quebec W.C.T.U., many of them placed there from indifference, and dislike to be in opposition to earnest solicitation.Did those 61,000 British mothers \u2018stir up strife?\u2019\u201d Did the Dominion W.C.T.U.\u2018stir up strife?\u2019 And are those unions, and the several members of those unions, many of them ladies of talent and culture, to be charged with stirring up strife because they protest against being presided over, and led by one who made an effort to remove one of the corner stones of the W.C.T.U., name- ly\u2014Purity of life?We are told that Lady Somerset regrets her action in the C.D.acts.and this is mer « leigh dJourselt before Taking Them.GAINED 22 POUNDS.I have more faith in Dr.Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills than anything else I have ever used.Since using them I have recommended them to several of my friends who were troubled as I was, and now they are in splendid health.I had been a sufferer, like a great many other women, with a disease peculiar to my sex.[tried everything I could read or think about to help me, but was getting worse instead of better.My condition was terrible\u2014I was losing flesh and color and my friends were alarmed.1 consulted a doctor of this towa and he said I would never get better; that I would always be sickly and delicate, and that medicines were of little use to me.Hearing what Dr.Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills had done for others, 1 determined to try them myself, and to-day I weigh one hundred and forty pounds, while before I weighed only one hundred and eighteen pounds, and now I have a constitution that is hard to beat.I have not suffered any pain in months, and earnestly hope that Dr.Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills will reach every woman suffering as I did.Sincerely yours, MAY COLE, Simcoe, Ont.Dr.Ward\u2019s Blood and Nerve Pills are sold at soc.per box, 5 boxes for $2.00, at druggists, or mailed on receipt of price

and dim Comes stealing o\u2019er the sea.Hip, hip! upon our wheels we go By field and forest ways; There's nothing half so fine, I know, As these vacation days.Then shout hurrah! they\u2019re here at la The gladdest of the year.st, Hurrah! the days of books are past! Vacation time is here! Possum Tricks.The doings of a New York State possum are feelingly thronicled by the New York Sun.farmer named John Welch, living near the town of Chester, so it appears, had lately taken a ten-year-old boy from a charitable institution.Naturally the boy knew little about country matters, and one day, toward evening.he came run- \u2018Bing into the housa pa gay, \u201c0, Mr, Welch, the reeds close to him.Then there's a monkey in the chicken-coop settin\u2019 night by the side of our big rooster.\u201d Farmer Welch went out to see what the boy had discovered, and reached the coop in time to see a big possum making off with the rooster.He made a rush for the thief, whioh on seeing that it couldn\u2019t escape, dropped the rooster and tumbled over, pretending, after the well-known manner of its kind, to be dead.Farmer Welch picked the animal up by its tail, carried it into the house, and threw it by no means gently on the kitchen floor.The possum never gave a sign that it had life enough to knew what was going on.It was tossed and pushed and turbied about by different members of the family for some time but it stayed dead, .Farmer Welch knew, of course, that it wasn't dead, and by and by he tossed it into a box, and by way of experiment threw a piece of raw meat near its snout.It was evident from the fact that the possum had come to the farmyard in cold weather, and before dark, that it must be very hungry, but with the tempting morsel lying against its very nostrils itv never moved a fnuscle.After a while the big family cat came into the kitanen.She got scent of the meat, and strode up to the box.\"The sight of the possum caused her to stop and smitt tor a moment.She evidently was I1ooled to thinking the possum was dead, for she jumped into the box and grabbed the meat.She had no sooner done so, though, than the possum came to life with a suddenness and velocity that startled the family.If a buzz-saw had run against the cat the fur could hardly have been scattered in a more lively fashion than that possum scattered it.i The tumbling and caterwauling lasted but a brief space, for the cat escaped and circused around the kitchen so wild-eyed and big-tailed that somebody opened the door and let her out.She hasn\u2019t been seen since.Having put the cat to flight and seeing the excited family grouped about, the possum promptly tumbled over and died again.After a while, finding that no onc made a move toward doing it injury, it came to life, got into the box and ate the meat as cooly as if it had been dining at home in the hollow of a tree.; The possum has remained in the family ever since, and has developed a particular fondness for the boy who discovered it and took it for a monkey.Tha Planting of the Apple Tree.Come, let us plant the apple-tree, Cleave the tough greensward with the spade.Wide let its hollow bed be made; Then gently lay the rcots, and there Sift the dark mould with kindly care, And press it o'er them tenderly, As round the sleeping infant's feet, We softly fold the cradle-sheet; So plant we the apple-tree.What plant we in this apple-tree?Buds, which the breath of summer days Shall lengthen into leafy sprays; Boughs where the thrush with crimson breast Shall haunt and sing and hide her nest; We plant upon the sunny lea A shadow for the noontide hour, A shelter from the summer shower, When we plant the apple-tree.What plant we in this apple-tree?Sweets for a hundred flowery springs To load the May wind\u2019s restless wings, When from the orchard row he pours Its fragrance through our open doors; A world of blossoms for the bee, Flowers for the sick girl\u2019s silent room, For the glad infant sprigs of bloom, We plant with the apple-tree.What plant we in this apple-tree?Fruits that shall swell in sunny June, And redden in the August noon, And drop when gentle airs come by, That fan the blue September sky, While children come with cries of glee, And seek them where the fragrant grass Betrays their bed to those who pass, At the fcot of the apple-tree.\u2014William Cullen Bryant.ri + rt nae SEDO DPVDDDORDIVC OOOO D 3 3 CONTRIBUTIONS.$ 2 0000005000 0009100000000 1.Any contribution to this column must not excced 306 words in length, or about a third ot a column.2.Manuscripts must be legibly written aad on onc side of the paper only.3.The full name, age, and address of tho serder must accompany eaëh contribution, not necessarily for publication.7 Tho Bird-House.Some hand, impelled by sympathy, Plac\u2019d high up in a leafy tree, A little house, to be let free Of rent, to the first-comer; Two swallows who were wide-awake, At once resolved that they would take This little house, and therein make Their dwelling for the summer.\u201cHere we can rear our little brood, Wittcut the least solicitude, The leafy crown of this tall wood, Will screen us from all dangers; And though there be five rooms or more, All large enough to hoid a score, Yet will we keen each little door, Clos\u2019d fast zgainst all strangers.\u2019 Thus did they converse.each with each, But in a different kind of speech: À language that was half a screech, And holf a chirp, and cheeping; Tiut new they needed something more, Than just a cold and naked flaor, And cold and empty walls, before Taey cculd begin house-keeping.So one went east, and one went west And gathered stuff, the very best \u2019 That they cculd find.and made a nest And all\u2019s sonn told that follows: > I was not lorg ere they did see, \u201cith hearts as fond as fond A jolly little tamily could be, Of pretty, blne-beaked swallows.And n6w a happf lot are they: Their household rights none can gainsay;

fo appears that Lady Henry did not consult with Mrs.Butler, the acknowledged leader of the purity work in the World's Union, by appointment of the World's Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union, the superintendent of that department, nor with Messrs.Stewart and Wil gn, both members of Parliament, and also foremost leaders in the reform, nor, so far as it is known, with any leaders of purity work, before she gave her support to \u2018regulation\u2019 in India, thus con- trovening the principles and work of our union, .and committing an act contrary to the moral sense of the great mass of Christians.\u201cTt shows an unsafe and unjudicial mind when one is willing to take so important a step against a moral reform without hearing both sides.; \u201cAgain, her tardy retraction is not satisfactory.Had she said, \u2018I did wrong,\u2019 or even \u2018I made a mistake, I see my error; I regret it and the trouble that has grown out of it, there would have been cause for hope that she would be true in future; but all that she said in her letter amounts to this: \u2018I was mir nderstood, and therefore drop the subject.\u201d This gives no rational ground for hope that she will be a steady advocate of \u2018abolition\u2019 in future.\u201cTt is true that ours is a temperance union, but we have announced our unutterable opposition to any compromise with vice, and in organizing we have worked upon that plan from the beginning.In India, and in all other countries where I organized the Women\u2019s Christian Temper- ence Union, I not only announced this principle, but in many of them formed men\u2019s societies, in addition to the Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union, to carry it out.\u201cThe friends of regulation have rightly understood that we do not oppose them, as long as we retain Lady Henry as our | large, closely-printed pages.pments have added causes definite stand upon this matter than L have been able to see my way to do hitherto, and I have resolved that for the future I shall provide no alcoholie drinks here or elsewhere.I think that this resolution may perhaps cheer the hearts ot some who have long shown an example at some cost to themselves, for to many of us this is the cross of the movement, whêre personal total abstinence is none.It may be that I have come to see this late in the day; but be that how it may, now that it appears to me to be my duty 1 cap do no other.\u2019 \u2019 \u201cThe last quotation is from the report ot a speech by Lady Henry before a meeting of ene council of the BW.T.A,, January, \u201cAt early evening of the night hi Miss Willard died, I received a Pron, mental document from England.It was the testimony of Lady Henry, given May 27th, 1897, before the Royal Commission on granting liquor licenses.Question and answer were literally from the.speaker's lips.The document contained Awenty-one it is believed that\u2014 rom this \u201cFirst\u2014Lady Henry does no i i total abstinence for all.b believe in he umber in the quotation below 1s that of the question in the whole series asked by the members of the commission.The questions are oy some member of the commission, and the an Henry s swers all by Lady no1036.Do you think that simply Arink- ng y à elt 18 wrong?\u2014No, I cannot say 31,637.May I assume that if there were no such thing as immoderate drinking, there would be no need of any of the où ganizations with which you are connected?\"168.Wed ,638.Wo you wish to make everybody a teetotaller?\u2014No, I should not wish to interfere with anybody who chose to take alcohol in moderate quantities.I believe that in the present exigency, that poopie can do a great deal more goed b adopting ver radical means of getting rid of an evil which is widespread.31,639.You would not wish that men should be made teetotalers by act of Parliament?\u2014No, I should not believe in it.31,640.Therefore, 1 may say you are not in favor of prohibition ?\u2014I should certainly not be in favor of prohibition by act of Parliament.I think I should be in favor of such education that it would lead to an inanition of the trade.Second.Lady Henry does not wish all public houses closed.\u2018Public house\u201d in England is the same thing as \u201csaloon\u201d in the United States.Lady Henry does not wish them all to be losed.31,698.You have said that you are not entirely opposed to the existence of public houses ?\u2014When I say not entirely opposed, I am taking the question as I find it in my time and generation.I am opposed to the system of public houses, because I do not believe it has the best effect on the people, but, as to the existence of public houses, I am perfectly aware that it would be impossible to limit their existence under our present conditions, because the people are mot educated to see anything else.31,699.Then, really, your spirit is opposed to the existence of public houses, although you find it 18 impracticable to abolish them?\u2014I am opposed to the existence of public houses as they exist at present, and for the purpose for which they exist at present.I am not at all certain that if there was a great diminution of drinking, and the possibilties of obtaining drink were not forced on the people in the way they are now, that I should say in no cases should public houses exist.Both the above points are made clear by the following quotation.The strongest thing she sid in favor of prohibition is in the answer to question 31,640, quoted above.\u201c1 think I should be in favor of such eduetion that it would lead to the inanition of the trade.\u201d \u201c1700.1 find in a return to the House of Commons, in 1892, that you are the owner of public houses?\u2014T hold a life interest in the property which had 14 public houses on it, but my trustees have sold thege houses, and I do not own them.31,701.Not one?\u2014No; I own, I think, three beer houses at this moment, or two beer houses.I am the grouna landlord of them.I think that is the way to put it.31,702.Are you in favor of the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of these articles?\u2014I am not in favor of any law for prohibition at this moment, because I think it would be altogether and absolutely impracticable.31,703.Has the estate in which you have a life interest ever received a premium for the granting of a lease of premises used for licensing purposes?\u2014That is to say, have I ever received a premium?31,704.You say you have a life interest in an estate.as that estate at any previous time ever received any premium for a lease of premiscs used for ficensed pur- oses?\u2014I have never granted any such ease, so I am not aware what may have happened before I came into the possession lit.31,841.You have expressed an opinion against prohibition, and you do not believe in 1t.Have vou studied that question in America ?You have.been there, I understand %\u2014Yes.; 31,845.Have you formed that opinion as the result of your observation there ?\u2014No, I should say not, because the conditions under which the prohibition exists in Am- \u201cerica are so different from anything we eader.have here.The whole trend of public \u201cBranch after branch has left the opinion in the States where prohibition World\u2019s Union on her account.All over exists is different from any of the cireum- the world, leading, true-hearted women are dropping out of the work for the same reason.\u201d The Temperance Question.\u201cLady Henry Somerset's views upon the temperance reform seem also to be unsettled and not up to our standards.I doubt not this is unknown to almost every officer as well as member of the 7 « .Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Union.: Was completely ignorant upon the sub- leet till May, 1896, when the first breath in that direction reached me.In the autumn of 1897 I was told that Lady Henry served wine to her guests.Notwithstanding the high character of my puprmant, I could scarcely credit this, 1 it Was soon confirmed from Henry's own lips.I ie, I quote from the December 17th 1898: \u2014 conducted es, Tk ast week by Mr.E.C.Bram- At the opening ihe fuck that on that day, twelve years eh the first temperance meeting was Ho rpg Lastnor Schoolroom, and Lady dre Omerset signed the pledge.Her meaty Was present at last evening's ment & and made an important state- st gave a touching account orth She fir 8 circumstances which led her to give to and join the total Special attention.thstinence o at inconsiuor cent.She then said cles someti i With the succes «mes interfered cheri 5 of principles we mos coy nd desired to advance, She Ne ale hat ly a total abstainer, and had Dérance ete \u20ac could to promote the tem- y: but 4 oration throughout the coun- in the canto Neating liquors had been nsed er men \u20ac and had been supplied to che had 1 8 apparent inconsistency 1 a Stermined to remove.Hence- Picating drinks swould be banish- pu Castle.They would not TS, there is only \u201cou wil) be b) I want to say.TI think 2 NEW resole to hear that I have taken God vil ble this winter, which I hope ie my positio na ave carefully reconsid- i BVng any wip 3, regards the necessity pre come + he on my own house, and is , Conclusion tha of hig oo longer with {hat a3 my : \\ me, but k: D, 1 shoulq like to take 3 home A Nothep Case of Cancer ured.We Our Foula like to tumor Ness methog end vou th fing we 15 cup od of treatin ® particulars, 3 S cancers and SToy Cour 11° A7 wer pigs + OTT \u20ac JRE TL Tüvéstigation iCal cases, \u2019 Bowmänville, Ont.\" Tr x ï Lady ;

but the fact that our conditions are so dif erent that, while it may have failed in America, and unquestionably it has failed in many places, at the same time the conditions are so absolutely different that 1 have not formed my opinion on that, but I have formed it from my knowledge of this country.31,847.You draw no deduction from that ?>\u2014No, I am drawing no deduction.Does Not Wish Sunday Closing.licly declared she does not wish the public houses entirely closed on Sunday.The quotation below is from her address before the annual council of the Boston Woman's Temperance Association, which met in London in 1856.\u201cThere seems to be a likelihood of our obtaining one practical piece of legislation in the immédiate future, and that is Sunday closing.I must confess, however,that while I believe Sunday closing in England would be of great value, 1 should prefer our friends to limit their efforts in the cities, at any rate, to close the public- houses save for one or two hours on a Sunday.I should like this exception made, because I believe that otherwise we should have what would be distinctly class legislation.So long as it is not practicable to close the club of the rich man, which is, in effect, his public-house, I do not think we have any right to close the pub- lic-house of the werking classes, except by their own vote.\u201d Fifth.Her views on the sale of drink to children.While she wished the age at which beer can be sold to them to be raised from thirteen to fifteen, she is willing that the age at which \u201cspirits\u201d (distilled liquors) may be sold should be reduced from six- | teen to fifteen.Again I quote from her testimony.31,623.Turning to the case of the sale ot drink to children, I think you have said that fifteen should be the limit both for supply and for serving off the premises, and you would, therefore, I suppose, wish for the reform of the statutory prohibition of the sala to children?\u2014Yes, I should.31.624.(Mr.Younger.) Sixteen is the limit for serving spirits at present.Do You propose to reduce it?\u2014I propose to reduce it to 15, including in that the children being sent to buy.31,625.Both for consumption on and selling off \u2014Yes, for children.31,626.Would you extend the limit?\u2014 | Yes, to 15.51,627.At present it is 13 for beer and 16 for spirits?\u2014 Yes, : 31.628.(Chairman.) You would wish the | limit to be 15 in both cases, and I ask you i if it should be a statutory obligation \u2014% es.i The above are not the views of the | Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance

vice-president Dominion Women\u2019s Christian l'emperance Union, has also taken issue with Lady Somerset.She deals first with the work that women can do and, asks : at is Lady Henry Someeset\u2019s position on the Prohibition of the liquor trafic?You know that last May, before the British Royal Commission, she thus defined it, and I am speaking now as to the general question and not as to any special application of her evidence to England: 1.She is opposed to legal Prohibition anywhere.She described it as \u201cmaking men sober by Act of Parliament.\u201d To fol low her we would have to give up our work for the plebiscite and the enactment of a prohibitory law.- , 2.She declared the Prohibition of the liquor traffic to be \u201cabsolutely and altogether impracticable.\u201d We believe it God- ordained and necessary.3.She declared that if we ~ould get rid of the immoderate drinking of alcohol there would be no need \u2018\u2018whatever\u201d of any of the temperance organizations with which she was then connected.She was, when giving this evidence, vice- president of the World\u2019s W.C.T.Ù., of which she has now accepted the presidency.We betieve that Christianity calls for total abstinence; that we \u201cdestroy not (with our drink) those for whom Christ died.\u201d hen Lady Henry Somerset was reelected world\u2019s vice-president she was furthering a scheme for rendering indulging in sexual vice as safe ?(and just?) as possible, and though she has since withdrawn her endorsement of said scheme, she has not in so doing expressed any sense of its deep and essential immorality, buf rather implied that there was some moral virtue in it, and yet the marching orders of the society she agrees to lead are that we make \u2018\u201c\u2018no provision for the flesh to fulfil the Tusts thereof.\u201d Now, deur comrades, please do not look upon the foregoing as an attack upon Lady Henry Somerset.I hold that we can love her light and leadin er, but it is ours \u2018ust now to look at fer only as an embodiment ard mouth-piece of the principles of the W.C.T.U.Docs her Past record give us reason to think her a safe guide for the white ribbon hosts?Would our Master approve of our actiôn if we accept her as resident?With a heart full of love for er and for our society, I am convinced that she should net he our president.And because the World's executive, which elected her last fall, did so when our principles were being openly violated and the beautiful work of our \u201cround the world missionaries\u201d undone by her, they, though in office, are not our real representatives.I propose that, as a Dominion sub-execu- five, we recommend to the Provincial and local unions that the Canadian society cease affiliation with the World\u2019s Union, doing its own temperance work until such time as a representative World's executive can be secured.That this be done by a simple notification to the World\u2019s trea- gurer that Canada will no longer send in her fees.Then we can go into the plebiscite work with the respect of friend and e.I hope the Dominion sub-executive will be willing to unite with me in taking this action for the preservation of our Canadian W.C.T.U.in its pristine integrity.lt was born in the Holy Spirit, and only as we are led by Him can we hope for genuine life and divine work.I ask, as Dominion vice-president, that a vote be taken at ônce upon this matter.I would further give notice that, in case it should prove that a majority of my sisters on the sub-executive of the Dominion Union do not see the necessity of this action as God has given me to see it, I claim the right of issuing a goodæye cirtular to every union in the Dominion, in which I shall try to put the matter clearly before their membership, after which I shall send in my resignation.\u201d CONDUCTOR H.HOGS Vicious Enemy.Him When He Began to Use Dodd's Kidney Pills\u2014Then the Tide Turned and He Was Saved.of the staff of the Toronto Street Railway comes foward to testify to the unequalled efficacy of Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills, in cases of Diabetes.This time it is Mr.H.Hogg, Conductor No.207, residing at No.81 Fuller Street, who tells his story.Here is what he says: \u2018\u2018Diabetesskept me in continual misery and nightly agony for three years.My blood got so impure

appearance in the waters of New York.This was a man named Richard Worley, who set himself up in piracy in a very small way, but who, by a strict attention to business soon achieved a remarkable success.He started out as a scourge upon the commerce of the Atlantic Ocean with only an open boat and eight men.In this small craft he went down the the coast of New Jersey, taking everything he could from fishing-boats and small trading vessels, until he reached Delaware Bay, and here he made a bold stroke and capturea a good-sized sloop.When this piratical outrage was reported at Philadelphia it created a great sensation ,and people talked about it until the open boat with nine men grew into a great pirate ship, filled with roaring desperadocs and cut-throats.From Phil- acdelphia the news was sent to New York, and that Government was warned of the great danger which threatened the coast.A.soon as this alarming intelligence was received, the New Yorkers set to work to get up an expedition which should go out to sea and endeavor to destroy the pirate vessel before it could enter their port and work havoc among their merchantmen.It may seem strange that a small open boat with nine men could stir up such = commotion in these two great provinces of North America, but if we try to imagine the effects which would be produced smong the inhabitants of Staten Island, or in the hearts of the dwellers in the beautiful houses on the shores of the Delawate River, by the announcement that a boat ! and honor her in every yorition for which J t And His Deadly Struggle With

Arbitration, which appeared in the New York Evening Post of the 13th of April, 1897, the action of their Senate is referred to as follows: \u2018To say that this is not wise would be a farcically moderate statement.It is never wise to act the part of a bully except to a weak Power, and England is not a weak Power\u2014 the bullying and disposition to grab have been shown by us, and it is we who have covered the whole subject of arbitration with such ridicule, that even the genuine talk of the press and pulpit about it is beginning to sound hypocritical.\u201d\u2019 In reference to the Behring Sea correspondence the same paper, in October, 1897, said: \u2018Sherman\u2019s so-called \u2018shirt-sleeves despatch\u2019 found a few defenders, who said that the main question was not whether the despatch was polite, but whether it was true, and every one of these defenders assumed that because it was naf polite, therefore it must be true, thus reversing the common observation of mankind, that the person who loses his temper in a dispute is usually in the wrong.\u201d I therefore take it that as there are family quarrels, so must there be differences of opinion among what has been called the subjects of King Shakespeare.Americans are not agreed among themselves as to the merits or demerits of this war, any more than we are; and it is stated in a New York paper of the 18th inst., that their *\u2018government is fn the possession of a body of men who are either ignorant or corrupt, and whose aim is apparently to use the national emotion on behalf of a righteous cause, for the purpose of speculation and financial disorder.\u201d This may unfortunately be our own position at no very distant date, and I therefore submit that, as we cannot under any circumstances approve of the action of Spain towards her fast-diminishing colonial empire, we should not embarrass the action of our numerous friends in the United States by taking this opportui.ity .of recalling all the difficulties we have had with their countrymen in the past.Many of them are British to the backbone, and, if we really believe that the combined English-speaking nations can best promote the interests of civilization and can defy the whole world, I submit that he among us who now recalls our old grievances does not deserve well of his country\u2014even if that country be

might be made rich.\u201d But since the day when women, the last to leave the cross and the first to reach the sepulchre, proclaimed the fact of the resurree- tion, they have never been wholly lacking in evidences of love and devotion to Christ.Church history, however, after the Apostolic ago, has not much record of organized missionary work undertaken by women till down near the present century, but doubtless all along the ages they took their share in keeping alive, often in yery dark days, the touch of Gospel truth.As we come to our own century we find, on both sides of the sea, individual effort made by women in sending their contributions to the mission boards of the church.From an old paper, \u201cthe Pamphlet,\u201d pub- fished in Boston nearly 100 vears ago, we have some accounts of the gifts of women, all telling an eloquent story of scii-sacri- fice on behalf jof a much-loved cause.A self-sacrifice that i now more generally practiced would fill the treasury of God to overflowing.There.too, in the far Eastern States of America little local unidns of women began to be formed for the purpose of sending money and clothing to the missionaries who were following the flow of population westward.The First Society About the year 1835, in England, the Rev.David Abeel, a returned missionary from China, first revealed to women at home the appalling condition of their gisters in eastern lands, and appealed for help.In answer to \"his earnest appeals there was formed in England a society of women called \u201cThe Society for Promoting Female Education in the East;\u201d and this, as a recent writer has rerharked, was the parent of all the nunierous women\u2019s foreign missionary societies which have since been organized and which now support Jady teachers and doctors in almost every land open to missionary effort.In the United States the history of the origin of the organized work is very interesting.When in 1861, at Fort Sumter.the shot was fired that echoed round the world, and North and South came together with a frightful clash of arms, bands of women were formed, here and there, to aid in supplving comforts for the wounded and the dving.And when Gen.Lee laid down his arms before the invincible Grant.in 1865, these ladies, instead of disbanding, turned their cfforts and attention to mission work.The splendid work done by them nnd their successors in that land is another proof of the saying that \u201cpeace hath her victories no less renowned than war.\u201d Our own society .In Canada was organized in April, 1876, when Rev.Dr.McLaren (then convener of the for- cign mission committee) and Rev.Dr.Topp called a meeting in Knox Church, Toronto, of Presbyterian ladies, who organized under the name of \u201cThe Woman\u2019s Yoreign Missionary Society\u201d of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.About the same time was organized \u201cThe Woman\u2019s Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbytery of Hamilton.\u201d In October, 1876, was organized \u201cThe Halifax Woman\u2019s Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church of Canada.\u201d The first three of these societies were afterwards united as \u201cThe Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, Western Section,\u201d while the fourth became \u201cThe Woman's Foreign Missionary Society in the Eastern or Maritime Province Section of the Church.\u201d In effect the general society is an auxil- jary to the Foreign Mission: Board of the Church, and thus, as a society, is subject to the General Assembly.If there seems anywhere a restiveness under the control of the commi®ee, it ought to be remembered that it was the committee, through its convener, who brought the society into existence, and that to have independent powers in the matter of appointing missionaries, choosing mis- gion fields and the like, would lead to serious confusion in the work ©f our beloved Church.Those who know the anxious work and anxiety of the Foreign Mission lommittee in connection with these matters, and in connection with the many difficult points arising in the conduct of the work in far distant fields, ought to be | thankful not only that in a great measure we are relieved of it, but that it is committed to those who have close official superintendence over the whole foreign mission work of our Churches, and who have to aid them the united wisdom and experience of the General Assembly.The committee gives us each year an estimate of the work it feels called upon to undertske in our department amongst the women and children of foreign peoples, and we undertake.if possible, to raise the amount of money required for it.The committee have always encouraged our general board to make suggestions in regard to the work that specially interests us, have always done what they could to meet our wishes, and have of recent years entrusted our board with the duty of making preliminary enquiries into the qualification of women applying for service jn the foreign field, but for the reasons above stated, and others, it is well that the great burden of full control has rested with the committee and not with us.Our general society meets annually to hear reports of work, and elect the board of management for the year; the presbyterial societies meet in the same way and have special and immediate oversight of the auxiliary societies and mission bands in Presbyteries.The aim and desire of the general society, and also of the presbyter- : ial, is to have an auxiliary society or a mission band in every congregation in the Church, as far as practicable.The Progress Made Looking back on the progress of the society, and applying the great test of Ga- Ua § 5 4 Peaspoonful of Abbey's Effervescent «= Salt

as never before, and the creased with great volume.In 1876 the society was justifiably pleased at being able to hand 81,000 over to the Foreizn Mission Committee.During the year 1896- 97, according to Dr.Warden\u2019s final statement as given in the assembly minutes, our society contributed $45,214.If to that we add the $7,516 which Dr.Morrison gives as the amount raised by the society in the Eastern section of the Church, we have the sum of $52,731 contributed last year through the aocicties, by the Presbyter- inn women of Canada, for work amongst the women and children of foreign peoples.In addition to this, the societies have sent tons of clothing to the Indians of the Northwest, and the mission bands have sent gifts and prizes to the schools in India and the Northwest.Eighteen lady migsionaries in Central India, three in Henan, and fifteen in the Northwest are now supported, and a woman\u2019s hospital, a girls\u2019 boarding school, and other buildings + Indore, schools, bungalows and other dispensaries for our lady missionaries at other stations in India; a girls\u2019 boarding school in Tamsui, Formosa; buildings on each of the Indian reserves in the Northwest, under the care of our Church, and a school at Altoona, in British Columbia, have been erected out of the funds ahove mentioned during these years.Tn estimating the work done by the societies we should not forget what has been done in the making of A Missionary Literature Twenty years ago the general secrefary used to copy out by hand the letters of missionaries aud send them to the few auxiliaries that then existed.060 Jeuflcts, each containing 30 or more pages of closely printed matter, are issued every month to carry foreign missionary tidings to the women of our Church in Canada.The issue of pamphlets, tracts and prayer cards has become very considerable, so that the whole work now requires the special attention of a literature secretary.In the presence of such sources of information, surely no one ought to be ignorant of the facts concerning our work in foreign fields.When we look at all this work, which God has wrought, through the instrumentality of our society, surely we have great cause to thank Him for the past, and take courage for the days to come.Any forecast of the future work of the society would be presumptuous.Let us have confidence in the fact of God\u2019s leadership, and if we know his voice, and in the stillness of our souls wait prayerfully and patiently for his commands, we shall not lose our way.God only opens the pathway of duty one step at a time and when we have taken that step, an- cther appears before us.Certain it is, hrmanly speaking, that our work is to be and ever-growing.The unceasing ery of millions, \u201cCome over and help\u201d will not leave us alone, even if we wished to live the unworthy lile of idleness and throw the burden on others.The very growth of the society will bring its fresh problems as to administration and division of work, but if these are studied in the spirit of self-sacrifice, which is the spirit of Christ, we shall reach the best golutions by the grace of God.The danger of merging or covering up our individual responsibility in the general work of the sncicty must be constantly gnarded against.Fach one must do her own part, in her own sphere, and then every auxiliary and mission band will have good success.It is not written that every society shall give an account, but that every one shall give an account to God for the use we have made of time, means and opportunities.It is by each one doing the faithful, though humble part, that the general work shall gn forward, unti! all \u201cthe kingdoms of this werld shall become the kingdom of our T.ord and Saviour Jesus Christ.\u201d HRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY Continued from Page 20.8th Row 1.Mr.David Phee, Galt, O.2.Mr.D.Campbell, Smith\u2019s Falls, O.3.Rev.W.A.McKay, Baltimore, O.4.Mr.Ralph Donaldson,

Neutral, but armed, she scans the sea Where moves the battle to and fro\u2014 Stern watch she keeps; nor friend nor foe, Though friend or foe she well might be.The nations see her where she stands, And note how strong sbe i3, how great; Neutral; she seems to hold their fate Securely in her fron hands.Neutral; hut were she stirred to rise, Her shield to snatch, her sword io raise, \u2018They scem to see the world ablaze And flashing crimson to the skies.The Tartar horde, the Latin race, Who dare not, though they long to dare; Who'd spare not, though compelled to spare; Scowl hate at her they dare not face.Neutral, sje gazes on the fray; And stanfling armed, but calm and still, Her {ron hand and iron will, Though neutral, hold the worid at bay.She watches where her first-born fights\u2014 His blood is hers\u2014she smiles on him A warlike smile serene and grim, And in his prowess she delights.Her blood is his\u2014his spirit free She gave him in the years gone by, And now with her own courage high, At war with Spain, he takes the sea.Though to and fro the battle run, She knows that he must win at last\u2014 So, with her great heart beating fast She watches her rebellious son.That son, who once cast off the bands That bound him to his island home; And free, went forth the world to roam A liegeless lord of seas and lands.Cast off the bands\u2014but, ah, not all! The links that bind the race to rac He could not utterly efface; Too high he rose so low to fall! And hidden love of motheriand, Half smothered by rebellious thought, With wrath and hate within him fought, And smouldered on till it was fanned.Came war; and then amid the strife, Blood cried to blood across the sea, And once again the flame was free.The old love fire sprang to life!

missionary operations, the other the augmentation scheme, designed for the supplementing of incomes ol weak congregations, have been carried on with increasing vigor and success.It bas been found convenient to work these schemes in two sections, the Eastern and the Western.The Eastern section includes the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and also the Province of Newfoundland and the Bermuda Islands.The Western section includes the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Brititsh Columbia and the North-West Terrifories.For the support of all these schemes both in the Eastern and Western sections, in the year 1875-6, the sum of about $33,000 was contributed.The contributions for these schemes in the year 1896-7 reached to the largely increased amount of about $120,000.In proportion to the increase in funds there has been an increase in the number of home mission stations occupied and weak congregations supplemented year by year also, an increasing number of mission stations have been organized as congregations, while supplemented stations have become self-sustaining congregations.Immediately after the union of 1875 the General Assembly resolved that the work of French evangelization, previously carried on by the uniting churches, should tor the future be administered under the Board of French-Canadian Evangelization.Under this board the work of evangeliiz- ing the French Roman Catholics was vigorously prosecuted, not only in the Pro: vince of Quebec, but also in Ontario and the Maritime Provinces.The complete control of the educational establishm:nt at Pointe aux Trembles was in a few Assembly th these mig the Ladies\u2019 College at Ottawa, afterwards called Coligny College.The amount contributed for the support of this scheme during the vear 1875-76 was $19,504, and the number of missionaries of all kinds employed was twenty-six.Last year the contributions to the ordinary funds of the board were about $39,000, and the agents employed were twenty-eight ordained mia- isters and missionaries, seventeen evangelists, colporteurs and students, and twenty teachers.There were occupied thirty- seven mniission fields and ninety-three mission stations and twenty-five mission schools were in active operation during a the year, and some for a shorter period.Since the vear 1840 the work of French b.evangelization, in which the Presbyterian Churches took the most prominent part, has made satisfactory progress.In the report of the General Assembly\u2019s Board of 1892 it is stated that fifty years from that date there was not a single French- Canadian Protestant on the St.Lawrence, and that in 1892 there were at least 12.000 French-Canadian Protestants in the Province of Quebec and 20,000 in the United States.With respect to the

heathen had been commenced by the uniting churches in the New Hebrides, in Trinidad, in India, in China, and among the Indians in Canada.Since the union missions to the heathen have been more extensively propagated, and with a largely increased measure of success.In 1876 the number of ordained missionaries vis REV.PRINCIPAL CAVEN Knox College, Toronto 9; in 1897 there were in the different fiel Is 39, besides a large number of medical and lady missionaries and of native teachers and helpers.Colleges and hospitals have been established, large numbers have heen converted to Christianity, and thr c presbyteries have been organized in \"n- dia, in China, and in Trinidad.The contributions for the support for missions among the heathen have been increase i from about $25,000 in 1876 to about $154,- 000 in 1897.: In carrying on its missions among the heathen, much valuable aid has been derived from the Women\u2019s Foreign Missionary Societies which began to be organized in 1896.These have been instrumental in collecting and contributing large sums of money for foreign mission work, and also in stirring up and fostering an earnest desire to promote the spiritual interests of the heathen and especially of heathen women and children.The contributions nf these societies increased from about $2,000 in 1876-7 to about $50,877 in 1896-7.Educational W-rk Belonging to the four churches who united in 1875 there were six literary and theological colleges in the Dominion, one in Halifax, one in Quebec, one in Montreal, one in Kingston, one in Toronto, and one in Winnipeg.These all remain in active operation.There is no addition to their number in the home field, but in all there has been very satisfactory progress.The number of professors has been increased.There has been a much more numerous body of students in attendance.New and costly college buildings have been crected, and large endowment funds have been collected and invested for their support.The money collected for buildings and endowments has amounted to several hundred thousands of dollars, Corresponding with the increase of contributions to the above schemes of the Church, there has been since the union an increase for other schemes of the Church and especially for the annual expenditure and endowment of the schemes for the benefit of aged and infirm ministers, and of widows and orphans.There has been an increase also in the contribii- tions for stipend and the erection of churches.Altogether the annval contributions for congregational and extra- congregational purposes, which in 1876 were less than $1,000,000, are now upwards of $2,000,000.years obtained, as also, at a later date, of REV.R.P.MACKAY, M.A.Foreign Missionary Secretary SCHEMES OF THE CHURCH.The

of 1894 are the following words : \u201cIn the providence of God they were led, after diligent and prayerful enquiry, to adopt some part oi the South Sea Islands as their post o1 work; and, later on, when Mr, Geddie, the missionary designated, to whose car- rest pleading in the pulpit, the press and | the church courts, the awakening of the missionary fervor is principally to be attributed, reuched the islands of the south, he was directed by the leadings of God to Aneityron, one of the New Hebrides group of islands, as the spot where he should set up the standard of the Cross.In that group the work has ever since been carried on, and at the close of 1893 there were reported by the clerk of the missionary synod eighteen missionaries, representing, besides the Presbyterian Church 1n Canada, seven other churches who are engaged with us in prosecuting this work.Our interest in htis field should surely be undying, for, besides Dr.Geddie, the apostle of the mission, who, with his devoted wife, labored for years without a volleague, a goodly cloud of witnesses testify to the longing of the fathers for the evangelization of the whole field.\u2018The dust of four of our former

the sick and for the teaching of divine truth.The day school has also been cultivated especially for the training of the children of christian rarents.In all these agencies the Bible is the permanent factor and the instrument of power.Central India This great province of 10,000,000 is litile more than touched by the missionaries, although the Presbyterian Churclr has been working there for 25 years.There are five cities occupied, but what are these against so many?In the one-half of the prayince occupied by the Presbyterian Church there are over 16,000 villages, in each of which a misssion might be organized In this as in most missions in India the educational method of work has been largely developed.In Indore there is a college that has in it five departments and does work from the primary grades to a university degree.These classes receive every day instruction in the Scriptures, giving more opportunity for Bible instruction than the Evangelist ever gets, whilst at the same time sweeping away superstitious rubbish and replacing it by a European education.School work is carried on at the stations, besides evangelistic, congregational and industrial work, and also the publication of much religious literature.Honan This has been a extreme difficulty.The Honanese are a turbulent people.Yet there has been success, and the indications are increasingly encouraging.In no mission have so many missionaries been disabled, some have died and others have been compelled to withdraw.The natural hostility of the natives has been aggravated by the hostility of priests, who persist in efforts to estrange converts and inquirers.There are at present eleven male and three female missionaries employed, who operate from three principal centres.Should a railroad be built from

one of the most successful of modern times, although it has suffered a serious back-set during the recent war; still the country is infested with brigands, native christians having been persecuted to

our own country has been conducted by the Foreign Mission Committee.On it about 25 per cent.of their funds have been expended.At present there are six ordained and 3{ unordained agents employed in that work.It is slow and discouraging but it is felt to be a duty to provide for the aborigines who formerly possessed the land.Especially is attention given to children.The Government assists, but it is reluctant.By a more vigorous policy in one generation might be rescued and the Indian problem solved.The Chinese In Canada there are about 15,000 Chinese.It is extremely important that they should be taught the truth both fcr our own country\u2019s sake and in order that, on returning to China, which many | of them do, they may take the Gospel with them.Mr.Winchester, Mr.Col- man and Mr.Hall, in British Columbia, and Dr.Thomson, in Montreal, are doing splendid work, but the work is too great for them.In every section of the world the call is for more laborers.The doors were never so open, the heathen world was never so willing to listen, the call never so urgent, the volunteers were never so numerous and the church was never so able.There is probably a brighter day about to dawn for foreign missions.It is now seen as never before that obedience to Christ demands a more agressive policy.MEETINGS IN MONTREAL.The General Asssembly has held meetings as follows in Montreal:

Growth of [Presbyterianism # \u2026n Montreal REV.PROF.SCRIMGER, D.D.The Presbyterians of Montreal, with its suburbs, number about 20,000 or one- twelfth of the poulation.They have apparently maintained much the same ra- {io throughout the period of a hundred and twelve years which has elapsed since the first Presbyterian service was held by the Rev.John Bethune, on March 12, 1786.- The story of that first service, and of the varying fortunes of that old St.Gabriel Street Church which grew out of ft, has been well told by the Rev.Dr.Campbell in a volume of 800 pages, which make interesting reading for any one who cares for the early history of the city.It is too long a story to repeat here in detail, but a few facts will help to understand much that follows.The Rev.John Bethune was a Scotchman by birth and education, but had emigrated to South Carolina, nu.was one of the Loyalists who fled to Canada after the Revolutionary war.He first took up his residence in Halifax and was appointed chaplain of the 84th Regiment of \u201cHighland Emigrants,\u201d which he had been largely instrumental in raising.When peace was declared and the regiment disbanded, he came to Montreal.ITere he soon gathered around him a considerable number of Scotchmen and Loyalists, to whom he ministered for a little over a year, and then moved to Upper Canada to occupy the lands which had been assigned him by the Government, in recognition of his services and sacrifices to the royal cause.Three years elapsed, during which no Presbyterian services were held, when the Rev.John Young appeared from the Presbytery of Albany, though also a Scotchman by birth and education.He organized the congregation afresh and took steps for the erection of the church still standing in St.Gabriel Street.This was begun and completed in 1792 with a seating capacity of 650.Practical Religious Toleration [n the meantime the congregation worshipped in the church of the Recollet Fathers which had been courteously placed at their disposal during hours when it was not otherwise occupied.Tor this favor the Fathers declined to take any remuneration, but were prevailed upon to accept a present of two hogsheads of Spanish wine.At a later time in 1809 when it was found necessary to put a new roof on their building the Presbyterian congregation was again for some two months accommodated in the Recollet Church.For eleven years, from 1803 to 1814, the Presbyterians in their turn extended the same courtesy to the only Episcopal congregation in the city, and the utmost good feeling between the churches seems to have prevailed all around.After a ministry of elevenæyears Mr.Young resigned owing to some dissatisfaction, and in the settlement of his successor, the Rev.James Somerville, in 1803, a minority, consisting largely of the American element organized a new congregation under the rival candidate, the Rev.Robert Forrest, who a year later was succeeded by the Rev.Robert Easson.This congregation, which grew rapidly, was nominally connected with the Secession Church of Scotland, from which their minister had come, but previous to his retirement in 1824 it was resolved by the majority to seek a successor from the Church of Scotland and from \u201cnone other.\u201d The minority, which again consisted mainly of the.American element, once more withdrew and organized the American Church under the Presbytery of New York, a connection which it still retains.The majority took the name of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, which, amid all the subsequent changes, has remained steadfast in its adhesion to the Church of Scotland.St Cabrie! Street Division Almost contemporaneous with this sepa- vation between St.Andrew\u2019s and the American Church, the seeds of a similar Ho division were sown in the original St.Gabriel Street congregation by the election of the Rev.Edward Black, as a second colleague along with the Rev.Henry Esson, to assist the nominal pastor, the Rev.James Somerville.The friends of the two assistant pastors soon developed into partisans and the strife between them became so warm that «finally neither party would allow the other to occupy the church.On the intervention of the newly formed Synod in 1831 it was agreed to separate.In 1833 Mr.Black and his friends withdrew to form St.Paul's Church, now one of the largest and altogether the wealthiest congregation in Canada.In the same year a fifth Presbyterian congregation was organized, this time again in connection with the Seces- GRANT Queen\u2019s College, Kingston sion Church, by the Rev.William Taylor, who had been sent out by that body from Scotland.This church has also had a prosperous career and is the one now known by the name of Erskine, having assumed that title on removing from their old building on Lagauchetiere Street in 1866 to occupy the one recently vacated on St.Catherine Street, at the corner of Peel.In 1874 a majority of the congregation decided to introduce an organ for use in public worship.The dissenting minority withdrew and formed a new congregation on Stanley Street, though it too has conformed since then to the prevailing custom and two years ago introdue- ed an organ.The Disruption.At the time of the disruption in 1844, which followed the mom-intrusion controversy in Scotland, the only Montreal congregation which seceded from the Church of Scotland was Old St.Gabriel street.But as this was largely owing to the personal influence of Mr.Esson, the minister, who soon after accepted a mprofessorsh«p in Toronto, and as there was a considerable minority opposed to the movement the more influential sympathizers with the Free Church preferred to start a new organization altogether, and so formed the (ote street congregation.This soon attained remarkable success, and still holds a leading place under the name of Crescent street.From One to Eight The Free Church majority of St.Gabriel street, under a succession of pastors, retained the use of their church building for twenty years after the disruption, Hui they never secured possession of the manse, and their legal title to the church was being more and more vigorously attacked; when they decided to remove to the western part of the city, and agreed to sur render all claim to it for a money consideration of $5,800.On removal they assumed the name of Knox Church, and shortly afterwards the minority reorganized a congregation in the old building, continuing occupy it for some twenty years longer until, in 1886, a full hundred years after the first Presbyterian service in the city, they, too, removed westward to the present building, which they had purchased, on St.Catherine street.Thus by division after\u2019 division, sometimes \u2019 acoom- panied by no little strife, the original one _\u2014 REV.PRINCIPAL McVICAR Presbyterian College, Montreal on 2.vam = n AFS rt \u2014\u2014 222 222 t \u2014\u2014\u2014 = \u2014\u2014 \u2014\" rg - _ » , > ; 18 THE HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1898 TS i * e @ ?.e .[ - H Statistical Revie ome | ISSION Ww BY | ov.(Vork * 000 Rev.Wm.Cochrane, .D Rev.R.Torrance, D.D., Guelph 2 A A hoe se .D.Moderator of the General Assembly rantior | ; .; ; - ÿ ish.Eighty men signed one.tion contained in the follow other Swedis ghty g e!

ed.A Growing Race The work in the Northwest, it will thus be seen, is among a growing race, not a dying race like the Indians.Western setters are sell-reliant, progressive, intelli gent; missions among them will become congregations, and self-support and self- propogation will be the order of the day.The two or three congregations of 1881 have already become 95, 69 of which are self-supporting, and are supporting between 35 and 40 missions.Much success has attended the work in the past.In 1831, two congregations, in 1897, ninety- seven, of which 71 are self-sustaining.The first Presbytery was organized in 1879, | | [ 4 REV.PROF, MACLAREN DD Toron vegion hitherto unpeo heard of.The so-cail fields are attracting th Lors and miners, furthering our ernment officials, who necessitous Home Miss ada has made, and is part of its policy, to ai ordinances of religion and had nine preaching stations; the number now is nearly 900.The communicants and revenue from $1,500 to $257,000, and | vblo ren.The Kootenay Distr:ct The Slocan-Kootenay country, B.C., they took up a mission on Inspector street, minster church, on Atwater avenue, has which still remains as a mission under the been formed out of the Inspector Street control of the session of that church.Mission, of thé American Presbyterian The earliest to become an independent church, and is under the care of the Rev.| orshnitation was M.S.Oxley.St.Giles Church, on Up- 8 per St.Denis street, still under its first St Matthew\u2019s Church 'pastor, Rev.J.R.Dobson, B.D., grew | Point St.Charles, which began in the au- 8ddenly into being, and might be said to | | which, before the Klondyke came to tae front with its possible fabulous gold.was: the centre of the mining interests, still; engages the attention of the committee, | and calls for help for years to come.In REV.DR.COCHRANE, Brantford, Slocan-Kootenay region there are at pres- ent sixty mines shipping ore, although much of it has to be packed long distances | on mules; only high-grade ore can afford!

In 1861 the Board of City Missions pur- | i chased a site and erected a building on St.Joseph street, now Seigneurs.The church grew rapidly, and the building was | soon enlarged to double its capacity.It is! i now known as calvin Church and has had on the whole a prosperous history.The pastor is the Rev.J.L.George, M.A.Chaliners Church had its origin in a mission Sunday-school established in 1861.Services were begun under the City Mission Board in 1863, and the present building was opened in 1873.The pastor is the Rev.G.C.Heine.In 1868 the Rev.W.M.Black, son of the first minister of St.Paul\u2019s, began work in St.Ann\u2019s Ward, and two years later St.Mark\u2019s Church was opened on the Haymarket Square.This church was recently left without a pastor by the sudden death of the Rev.John Nichols.These four churches represent the inner cordon, and are the outcome of the rapid growth of the city in the 60's.It was during the same period that Thz2 Presbyterian Colleze was first organized, which has since done so much for the growth of Presbyterianism in the city and throughout the whole valley of the Ottawa.The 70's added only one more English- speaking church to the list, viz., Taylor Church, now on Papineau avenue, in its second building, which has recently calied the Rev.W.D.Reid, B.D, to be its pastor.This, however, was a period of rapid extension in French work.Ever since 1841 there had been a French + In addition to these fully organized churches, however, there are a number of missions and mission Sunday schools that deserve to be mentioned as doing good $ Ets Lo RÉ ES, a Cnn REV.PROF.FORREST, St.John, N.B.work, and some of them at least having promise of a more important future.Nazareth Street Mission is sustained by Crescent Street Church.Maisonneuve, with an ordained missionary in charge, is aided bv Krskine Church.The St.Charles Street Mission, along with its French work, has English services, and a considerable Sunday school, manned and supported by St.Paul\u2019s church.Montreal West has already had a pastor, and is certain to be self-supporting in the near future.Ser vices are also held at Kensington, Verdun, Mount Royal Vale and at the Annex.in Canada.This report stated that in the | mission under the care of the Church of cight Presyteries reporting there were 63 | Scotland, known.as St.John\u2019s Church.ministers and 121 organized congregations;

also to the great non-denominational societies, such as the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association and the Bible Society.The building debts on all the Presbyterian churches in the city do not aggregate more than $100,000, though several of them have erected large and handsome edifices within the past few years.preaching stations.About one-sixth of the families and single persons of the whole church are connected with these stations, and a large mixed multitude, as yet without any church, home or connection.!n (scores of places the Presbyterian Church is \u2018conducting services where no other church \u2018has as vet appeared.The Gospel is preached in eight different languages.\u201cAbout two-thirds of the expenses of \u2018he | missionaries are defrayed by the people, rand one-third by the Home Mission Com- \u2018mittee.In the Far Wes' ;

her minis\u2018ers there are largely young men in thorough sympathy with the young people in their congregations, and naturally the movement has expanded there im a: directions.Official Recc gnition It was not until 1890 that the Pres- terian Church took official cugnizance or this society.Then the following recommendation was passed by the Assembly :\u2014 \u201cThat as a means of developing the giïts and graces of the young people, a Y.P.5.U.E., or similar association, be organized in congregations, the constitution of such n- cieties in all cases to be approved by ihe sessron of the congregation un which the society is organized.\u201d Strange as is may appear, the Assembly took no notice ot young people\u2019s societies the following year, save to endorse a comancndatory reference to them in the report on the state of religion, and to pass a recommendation submit ed in the same report similar tv Le one passed a year previously.Several presbyteries, however, seemed to \u2018think that the Assembly should take some action regarding these societies, and when the Assembly met in Montreal in 18/2 overtures were presented from the Presbyteries of Maitland, Lindsay and Whi\u201cby in reference to this matter.Im dealing with these overtures, the fullowmg mution was moved by Dr.MacLaren, seconded by REV.ROBT.JOHNSTON, London.Dr.A.B.MacKay, and carried :\u2014\u2018\u201cKeceuv- ed the overtures, and in view of the des:r- ableness of having the young people of var Church organized under sanction of the General Assembly, tor the culture of their spiritual life, the training of them for Christian work and the unifying of their efforts in extending the work of Christ's kingdom, the Assembly appoints a committee to consider how the ends may be best attained, and to rgport to the next Assembly.\u201d When the \u2018Assembly met the fol owing year, in Brautiord, the comm tee repurted that in tneir judgment che only way of having the great body of the young people of the Church embraced in | one young people\u2019s society would be unr! pastor.This was in December, 1883.The first Presbyterian C.K.society was tormed In September, 1885, in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, under the pastorate ot Rev.Anderson Rogers.In November of the following Year the first Presbyterian sorely in Ontario was organized, in the King.Street Church, London, the Rev.W.M.ogers being then pastor.During the | fear 1887 only two new societies were 1n-| Sututed in Ontario.One ot these was in| 8t.Paul\u2019s Church, Smith\u2019s Malls, and the fer in Kirkwall.The Kev.8.Carru- hg of Dovercourt, who was at that o \u20ac pastor of Kirkwall, thus relates his dence: In the fall cf 1887 I con- eted special services for five weeks, and | i | ! | I REV.W.J McCAU GHAN, Toronto at their ;

Owing to the absence of the convener when; the Assembly met in 1894, the report of this comnuttee was only a tentative one, and recommended little save that the! committee urged sessions to take a more careful oversight of the work done in Y.societies, and constituted ministers ox officio active members in their respective societies, But the tide was rising.Sozie-! | REV.DR.LAING, Dundas.ties

Church should duly recognize their work in the same way as she recognized the work of the Sunday schools.This sentiment found expression in an overture, signed by Rev.Dr, Dickson and eleven others, which was preseut- ed to the Assembly in 1895.The prayer of the petitioners was granted, and a Commiitee on Young People\u2019s Societies was appointed.Of this committee the Rev.R.D.Fraser, M.A., was appointed con vener.This position he has held ever since, and it is largely owing to his earnest, judicious efforts that such full and sutisfactory reports are now received from the many societies represented in the Church.The Assembly which convened in 1896 instructed the committee to consider how the doctrine, polity, his\u2018ory and work of the Church might be brought more adequately before the voung people.Pursuant to these instructions, the committee devised a plan by which one special denominational topic is studied each month.The work of organizing new societies is prosecuted with considerable vigor, and the aim of the committee is to have a society mot only in every regular congreza- tion, but alsd in every mission field throughout the Church.A sub-commit ce has been appointed to consider also the propriety of holding in connection with other Presbyterian Churches, a great international convention.Some Figures Statistics are admittedly dry, but the accompanying figures speak rather eloquently.There are now at least 1,000 &o- cieties under the care of the Church, and the convener, Mr.Fraser, is of the opinion that if all societies reported the number would reach 1,200.The mumbership is in the neighborhood of 55,000, and of these 37 per cent.are young men.The total | amount contributed for a'l purposes, as @ reported last year, was $34,181.Surely it may be

Covenanters we have a subject covering a period of Scottish history extending over more than 60 years\u2014a century, if we inc'uded the reformation period when the principles of the Covenant were as leven put into the meal.Historically there are four Covenants and four sets of Covenanters, but the one which stands out most prominently and to which the mind most naturally re- ~vts is the one in the year 1638, which is known as the National Covenant, and another document even the werld itself does not contain.All the Covenants were similar in spirit, being based upon the first one made in 135%.The subsequent ones were, of course, somewhat changed and enlarged to meet the special circumstances of the times in which they were made.All had the same object in view: The preservation of the reigious and civil rights of the people against monarchical and priestly intolerance and ambition.| ca y GW .0ARMS: RONG, IESQ., St Andrews Church.London.and royalists but against the p.pacy and preiacy and to protect the rights of Parliament and preserve the lilerties of the people.though the heroism and true nobility of character of the people would never have been displayed.Men then were wheat aud not chaff.They were not made to fly, even with the winds of persecution.Nor were they \u2018lown away by the breath, nor crushed with the stroke of the flaile, but they endured in the might of right and truth and their cause ultimately triumphed.There were giants in those days.It was a period when good men held their lives at a discount and their principles at a high premium.During this century the history of Scotland may be said to have been written in blood\u2014the ncblest blood of the nation, not as that expression is usually understood, but the b'ood of the noblest men and women from the castle, the mansion and the cottage alike.1.The first of the many Covenants (1558), famous in Scottish history, was somewhat private in its character.The {document was carried round for signatures and signed by a great number of nobles, gentlemen, commons and Burges- ses, the historic names of Argyle, Glencairn, Morton and Erskine heading \"the list.The subscribers to this Covenant bound themselves to \u2018\u2018apply their powers, substance, and lives to set forward and establish the most blessed word of God and to maintain and defend the whole Congregation of Christ and every member thereof.\u201d 2.The second Covenant was that adopted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1581, drawn up by Tohn Craig in which was strong'y condemned Episcopal Government under the name of hierarchy, or, Government by Bishops.3.Lhe third Covenant, and the greatest of all Scottish Covenants, was that of 1638 and known as the National Covenant.This was signed by a majority of the nation.Tt was submitted to a large con- giegation in Greyfriars Church, Edinburgh, on the 28th day of February, 1638, adopted and signed by them and then \u2018placed on a flat tomhstone in the church- I vard, where thousands attached their | names.On the following day copies | were sent throughout the provinces, to | cities, towns, villages and hamlets until practically the whole nation had become signatories to the document.It was truly a National Covenant.4, The fourth Covenant was made in 1643 and was International in its nature.It is known as the Solemn League and \u2018\u2018ovenant and was a bond entered into hy the Puritans of England, the Preshy- terians of Scotland and the Reformed HON, GoW.ons, Old st.Andrew\u2019s, Toronto.Religion of Ireland.The spirit of this Covenant was to extirpate Popery and Prelacy from the fair domains of the sister islands.With the third Covenant we have to do, as its influence upon the religious life of the world has been most permanent, The others were more or less limited in their scope and temporary in their effects, if such strong and defiant documents accompanied by such stout and fearless act'ons, 102 Yonge

of the bloodshed and hor- | rors of civil war would have been spared, temporary.of a nation.The national and international contests were all seeking the same ends: They were the watchwords 1.The right of private judgment in matters of conscience.2.The non-interference of Popes, prelates or potentates in the sacred sphere where Christ alone ruled and was King supreme.3.The authority of Scripture as the sole and only law of the Christian Church, and from which there was mo appeal.Grant these rights, and no more faithful and law-abiding citizens could be desired; deny them, and history discloses the \u2018result, This Scottish trouble arose from the im- (prasibility of men trying to serve two Kings could Kings\u2014Christ and Caesar.control an Episcopal Church, but it was a different affair with a Church, which declined to do royal courtly homage.Presbyterian and The one bows to secular authority; the other submits to a majority of its peers after full and free discussion.Discussion is the bane of despots.Hence there are broad lines of demarcation.Prelacy against presbytery.Secular against spir- tual.In the early part of the year 1603 Queen Elizabeth of England died, and King James VI.of Scotland became King James I.of England, wielding his sceptre over England, Scotland and Ireland.Me had a kingdom now of the first magnitude, and had Ire had ideas of coustitu- tional monarchy instead of an autocratic monarchy his reign would have been a blessing to himself and to his threefold subjects.As it was, he, with his innate ambition and conceit, made untold troubles for himself and his three kingdoms.James had not occupied the English throne very long before he applied 'im- self to accomplish a long-cherished plan of extinguishing the Scottish Presbyterian Church and establishing the Episcopal Church of England in its stead.New and larger power re-kindled an old desire and fanned it into flame.The first blow was struck at the General Assembly, and the Royal edict went forth for its destruction.Episcopat authority could never be established with a General Assembly and free discussion.Hence the General\" Assembly of 1603, in obedience to the King\u2019s command, adjourned.Imprisonment and banishment were meted out to those who were present.Archbishops and bishops\u2014 creatures and puppets of the King, were [Concluded on Page 10} REV.J.PRINGLE, B.A.,
