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.

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

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

The father rouses himself from bis

to visit us. We lie out of the Leaten

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

and attachment—"
"I -1s it heceseary, father?" mur-
murs Lord Delmore, expoetulatingly.
The father scarcely glances at him.
He has been adjured to tell the truth
-the whole truth -and he is telling it.

Passionless voice continues;
"- Lucia's anguish was terrible to
behold. She Who was once, and so

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.

mildly. "The deed Was a rash: antl-des-,

milord would not tell him, he chal•
lenged milord to the duello."
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. It was to take place • out -

smut is perhaps not quite up to adver-

enough in Purl to make up"for that.
The temple of Juggernaut houses the
rdely-carved figure of the god himself'
hewn out or a log and never finished.
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

: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

and left the god half-flu:shed; and that
half -carved log is perhaps the most sac-

The Sharp Contrasta Between Aus-

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.

ing the Chill midsumnaer climate or
the New Zsaiand lake region for the

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
