The Christian Guardian this week discusses the propriety of Methodist Conferences resoluting in favor of conscription, and comes to the conelt- Molt that they have a right to do so, becausa tho conferences are composed of laymen as well ae stories. Although the ministers are,exemptea frotn ser- vice, many of them, are serving and many of them aro acting as chaplains, at the front. Most of them who have, sons have sent them to the front. Discussing the queetion of con- scription, the Guardian says; "It may posstbly, be that if the Government bad early in the war adopted, a.moro vigorous war policy we ehould not to- day have needed conscription. We are not prepared to defend the Govern- ment, hut it is clear that laying the blame on the Government will net provide the men, and just now this is the most pressing problem. We con - not, and will not, permit our forces in the field to be depleted at the very mottent when victory seems almost in sight. Canada will do her full duty, and Canadian Methodism will do her share." 'GREECE NOW OUR ALLY. After What Was seemingly a long and needless waste of time, during which a huge army was held up at Salottiki, King Constantine of Greece was driven from his throne, and a younger son of his now reigns in his stead. With the enthronethent of the new King comes batk ex -Premier Venizelos, an ally of the Allies, and Grote's strong man. No sooner does he assume the reins of office than he declares against -Germany and her al- lies, savers diplomatic relations with -them and definitely aligns Greece on the -side of Britain and France. It shouldnow be only a question of a few. days when. Greece will formally declare war against the Central Pow- ers.e When the King refused to go to the help of Serbia against Bulgaria Vent- zelos organized a revolutionary cam- paign, to checkmate the King in his intentions. In September, 1916, he pablished a statement in which he said: Do not think I atn heading a revo- lution in the ordinary sense of the word. The movement now beginning is in to way directed against the King or his dynasty. This movement is one made by •those of us who can no longer stand aside and let our countrymen and our country be ravaged, by the Bulgarian enemy. It is the last effort we can make to indite° the King to tome- forth as King of the Hellenes and to follow the path of duty in protection of his subjeets. The efrort failed, but , the Xing Is now in. exile and Vettizelos Will now have the opportunity to bring to terms. the Bulgarian enemy. Altered War Words. An examination of modern military terms revels the fad that very few of them posses the meaning criginallY aseighed to them. Munitions. for ex- ample, in aneient times signified not only the materials of warfare, but also the fixed defenses of an army. Thus the translators Of the authorized ver - Mons ol the Bible use the phrase "Mu- nitions a rocks" to &omelet() "Irapreg,.• table reek fortresses," and the de - refuting artily is charged to "keep the nranitione' when the moaning is "guard the fortresses." Carriage its another word with a changed mean - lug. Th. Aets appears the phrase. "We took np ottr carriages." It is one Greek word meaning "having packed up," and the Genova version (1557) has "we trusaed our fardels." In these days tho Word's meaning was "aomethIng carried," not as now, "something that carries." -London ChrMaicle, ".esee• He Saw Oouhle. city Man of convivial habits goi Into diffictiltY In a small town.

As for Signe, there is no feeling of curiosity, or fear, scarcely of inter- est. She barely glances aside, so in- tent, eo absorbed Is she In the loved cne. It will triatter nothing to her, however dark and awful the story May be, If see ehould hear that her lord ilats been as wicked. and criminal as he has been represented, it will make no difference to her. Love has overcome all other feeling and senti- ment in her, It is_for others that the story is to be told -for herself it has no intere,st 'whatever; all that life holds worth the having or the keowing lies p11- lowed on her bosom. If the choice were hers she would rather that the mystery remained un- solved, that it should go down to the grave of dead memories unexplained and still entangled. Give her her loved one in life or death, give her some 'thence of atoning for her desertion of him, and she will be content. With a long sigh she lays her cheek against his, and becornes enwrapped and absorbed, almoet without hearing, certainly without Any desire to hear. "Go on, father," says the weak voice, and- Hector smiles faintly. "We are waiting," The father rouses himself from bis deep meditation and raises his head. "My children," he says, in serene, peaceful accents, which fall upon the strained care with a soothing area, so free from taint of partiality or Passion; so Just, yet merciful is be, n' that it might be some judge upothe bench calmly unfoldiug a skein of entangled evidence.- "milord, our friend here, wishes me to tell you bow sm It happens that he is lylag here it - ten by the hand of that Providence which vain man disregards, and. too cft despises, until the hour comes Ithen She power which moves the whole world makes !twit felt, Listen, then, and learn the solemn lesson con- veyed in the words, 'Take heed how ye judge, lest ye be judged.' lit the early spring of this ;same year, before pur Tuscan woods had burst into full leaf, While the snow was still On our liectuntaing, there came an Engliseman to visit us. We lie out of the Leaten trick, here is Casalina, and travellers from the great world seldom turn aside to penetrate ciur simple valley. Thie Englishman was a great and paws erful lord, but he came alone and without state. He lodged in the bumble village inn, and went among us like one ot ourselves. His habits and mode ot living were as simple and unpretentious as eur own, and he might have been the -peasant lu more than garb, but for the good bis wealth and kindly itature vvere never weary of doing. Before limey v eeks bad palmed the sickly and the needy had learned to, look upon him as their friend, and I soon knew where to go when one of my flock fell into troubles too- deep for me to help him unaided. This Englishman's purse was always open t� me, thcoaid of his strong arm always at my service. Like my people, grew to regard him with gratitude and attachment—" "I -1s it heceseary, father?" mur- murs Lord Delmore, expoetulatingly. The father scarcely glances at him.

Hector moves Slightly, and the doe - tor comes round to the bedside and feels his pule, but the thin wasted hand moves impatiently, and tho calm, Passionless voice continues; "- Lucia's anguish was terrible to behold. She Who was once, and so lately the hapPlest girl in the village, was now the most wretehed. We fear- ed that she would seek to take her own life, but she was carefully witteh- ed by her inhuman father and an old woman, who followed her like a sha- dow, and was in the pay of the man who had bought her: Poor childl day after day she would come to me with tear e streaming down her pale face, her eyes wide open with horror and dread." The voice pauses a moment, end it quick, sharp sigh comes from Laura Derweet's lips; Signe makes no sign. -"The day for the wedding was f tx- ed. She was not to be married here - there would have been danger and bloodshed, her father knew -but at Floreace. The wedding -garments were bought; they were rich and costly, fit for a lady, and too fine to deck the sacrifice of a simple peasant girl. But they brought no consolation to poor Lucia, and only her father's threats could induce her to try them oil. The morning on which she was to leave Casalina arrived, and the bridegroom had sent a handsome chariot to convey his bride -his purchase, his slave -to Florence With oaths and threats the father foroed her into the carriage, and, meta the orainous mutterings of her old playmates, she was driven off. It was a hard ta,sk to keep the pert•ce and prevent bloodshed that morning, but peace was kept and no bleed was spilled." "Thanks - to one person," raurmues Hector, looking at the pale face, fram- ed in its silvery hair. "My heart was wrung as I bade the Poor girl farewell, and I directed My steps to theE ill to tell the nglish mi- lord that all pur efforts had proved futile, and that the hard-hearted, gold - cursed parent had proved merciless. There I heard that milord had left the inn, taking with him two of his horses and that the landlord had no informa- tion as to his lordship's route or whereabouts; he did net know, even, whether milord would -.return. "Sorrowfully I went home. At nightfall, when the village, which had been in a stir of excitement all day, had sunk into quietude, me ser- vant came to me with the strange W- edge that the grand chariot which had borne poor Lucia away, had return- ed to the village empty, driven by a strange coachman, and with its Own Coachman bund and gagged On the roof, hurried to the inn, and. found that the news was true. "The coachmen's story was very simple. Ten miles front Gasoline the coach had been stopped by a tall and Powerful peasant, who had hurled the coachman from his box, and, without harming him, had bound and gagged "Not a word had been spoken, or was spoken, until this peasant had carried the weeping and almost lifeless girl to a carriage which had been otea- cealed under some trees by the road- side; then the peasant came baek to the bridegroom's chariot, and address- ing the coachman, said: "'You will be driven back to Casa - line. No harm will befall you while You reiwain quiet, Tell Baptiste that his daughter has been removed to a place of safety, and that no harna cense to her. To -morrow you will take this chariot back -empty -to its own- er, and tell him that his victim has been snatched from his clutches, and that he will never see her again. If he should ask you who has done this, You may tell him that Lord Delamere will give him every information, and will await his corning at the Mountain inn.' "Then milord -for it. was milord in peasant garb -mounted the box of the other earriage, and the geed English horsess tore out ot sight. Lade was saved." Lady Iteokwell draw % a long breath and utters a stifled 'Atli" of relief, and casts a' glance of adrairation and wo- manly approbation on the pale face ly- ing on Signa's bosom.

Lady Reoltwell draws a long breath. After all her favorite, Lord Delmore, may be, a murderer! But Signe does not move or falter. Calm, watchful, absorbed, she bones over Hector, Ut- terly indifferent to the conclusion of the story. If there is any bias in her mind it is toward ven,geance upon the wretch who had bought Lucia. It would not move her in the slightest if the fathei had said in plain words, "milord shot him!" " "Milord accepted the challenge. Te meeting was Axed for the following morning.

The /story gam that a certain king was instructed irom nbove to build the tem- ple, and the gocl would tome from the sea, He came as per schedule in the form of a floating log, and the gods sent a seulptcr from their enmortal real to carve the log into god -like semblance. :Teo sculptor arrived and set to week.; but the gods are Jealous of heavenly sec- rete in the way of earvipg. Tire people were warned that no man must watch the eculptor at werk. The king who built the temple, wit', a "highly human cur- iosity Isom a hole in the wall and peep- ed. Tbe sculptor disappeared in a rage and left the god half-flu:shed; and that half -carved log is perhaps the most sac- red idol of India to -day. Once a year he Is placed on a great ear and decets'n through the streets for a visit to extother temple.

The excessive heat throws the little etomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he Is ill, Sumer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysen- tery and colic are most preyalent. Any one of these troubles may prove dead- ly if not promptly treated. During the Summer the mothers' best friend is Babyei Own Tablas.

MAKE TOUROTS MARVEL. The Sharp Contrasta Between Aus- tralia and New Zealand, 11.11••••.....••••••••••••11• One of ebe Gra surprises awaiting the tourists front the • northern hemi- sphere is to find that Australia and New Zealand may not be grouped as two islands of like appearance, differ- ing mainly in size, near neighbors which may be treated as a unit. Nese Zealand is nearly twice as far from Australia as Bermuda is from New York and not only east, but also south. - Four day& travel across a chilly sea Is required for the traverse fro.n Wel- lington to Sydney, and after exchang- ing the Chill midsumnaer climate or the New Zsaiand lake region for the heat of Metairie QM readily accepts the evidence of the map that the southern coast of the Australian mainland has the latitude of central New Jersey, while the southernmost of the three islands whicix compose the Dominion of New Zeeland occu- pies the position of souesern New- toundlend. In climate and vegitation the two dominions are as unlike as Norway and South Cerolina. New Zealand is a land of mountains, gorges, revers and fiords. The higher peaks of the South Island are eternally snow eaPP- ed, and the glacier& of its southern Alps rival those of Switzerland. The .surrotniding seas are too cold for corals. Among the mountains of the North island volcanic fires are still active,and. tbe geysers and hot springs are little less impressive than those of the Yellowstone park, The aboriginal inhabitants of New Zea- land at the time of their discovery by Dr. Cook were the most advanced of all the south Pacific races, while the aborigines of Australia are the lowest in intelligence of all human beings. Australia is in no sense inferior to New Zealand in geographic interest, but lofty peaks, profonnd canyons and active volcanoes are licking. Its elvers are unimpressive and its :ter- manent lakes small and few in num- ber. It is a continent compesed of plains; „Interrupted by ridges and mountain knobs. -National IGeograe pleic Magazine. samer••••••••••••••••••••• Minard's Theilment Co., Limited.
