Ypres. The funeral was at the dead of night, the only light being that from the electric flash -lamp used by Mr. Mac- pherson to read the words of the Bur- ial Service. Even this, however, was sufficient to draw the fire of the ever - watchful enemy, and rifle -bullets and shrapnel spattered and sputtered all round. Fortunately nobody was hit, and General Smith-Dorrien remarked, as he quitted the graveside: "A true soldier's funeral, padre. We couldn't fire a volley, but the enemy have giv- en him the last salute for us." Such interruptions, however, are by no means uncommon. A short time ago an open-air service was being held, when a "Jack Johnson" 'burst in 'the midst of the worshippers. The officiating padre, describing the inci- dent in a letter home, which was afterwards published in the "Church Times," says: "We were lustily sing- ing `Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,' when the congregation suddenly fell down flat like one man. I was knock- ed down. I have never known sing- ing to stop so unanimously." Much of the padre's work is with the wounded, both on the field under fire and in the dressing -stations and the field hospitals. Not infrequently, while thus engaged, he falls a victim to duty. And when not actually tending the wounded he is helping them in. all sorts of odd ways. He even turns barber on occasions, shaving the poor disabled fellows. A Future Capitalist.

Statistics from the Government authorities show that the wheat crop this year promises to be greater than ever but the problem that is troub- ling the minds .of the 'farmers, in Western Canada is how can the crop be harvested? That is the predotn- inent problem of to -day in Canada apart frons recruiting for overseas. The railways are providing special excursions to carry the men to their destinations but the effort will almost se fruitless if the labor does not come forward for the work in view. There is no disguising the serious- ness of the situation this year so many men having gone to the front or are on their way. Despite this fact, however, there should be no lack of men to gather in Canada's greatest asset if the country is to still continue the good work of , the past two years in helping' the Mother Country in the greatest war the world has ever known. While Canada has sent some hundred thousand men to the war there are still hundreds of thousands more left who have not en- listed and who are not assisting In the making of munitions. These have now an excellent opportunity of do- ing a little bit at home to help the war abroad. Canada's crop is of vital necessity to Great Britain and her Al- lies so that everyone who helps in gathering in the harvest will in soma measure be assisting in carrying Nearly everything that Canada on the war to a successful issue. makes, mines or grows is exhibited' The effort will not only be a health each year at the Canadian National 1 giver but give excellent remuneration.

The increase of railway mileage in Canada for the year ending June 30, 1915, was 4,787 miles, bringing the total railway mileage of the Domin- ion up to 35,582 miles. The increase during the last twelve years has been 87 *per cent. In addition to the lines completed there were, on June 30, 1915, 1,161 miles of railway con- tracted for and 432 miles completed, but not yet classified as under opera- tion.

His Conduct at Cairo Proved a Real t = Tonic to That City. Rev. J. H. Molesworth, late intim- bent of All Saints', Cairo, writes as follows on Lord Kitchener's religion: ' "No one could be long in his com- P �•s''''-2's parry without realizing that he was , •,,,.; "^xC`I'�3 a man who viewed life seriously. I ' may illustrate this from the effect he produced on society in Cairo, when he went there to take up his position as British Agent and Consul General. Cosmopolitan places like the capital of Egypt, which are largely the haunts of pleasure, are often given over to a frivolity which is not seen in cities of commerce and business. There is frequently a relaxing of morals beyond what is witnessed elsewhere, and a general air of un - discipline, and it goes without say- ing that in such places Sunday and Sunday worship are at a discount. "It would be foolish to assert that Cairo was free from these vices. But the coming of Lord Kitchener in- stantaneously wrought a change. He was known to be a man of unswerv- ing devotion to duty, of disciplined life, of resolute purpose. Instinctive- ly we all braced ourselves up, and it was as though a tonic had been ad- ministered to the place. So far as his work permitted, Lord Kitchener was regular and punctual in his church attendance, and this at once told beneficially upon the Sunday habits of the community. Y "He was president of All Saints' Church committee, and I never re- member his omitting to take the chair, even when hard pressed by State business. "Earl Kitchener was indeed a type of that simple, manly, straightfor- ward Christianity which we associate with the best English laity, which does not trouble itself indeed about subtle questions and controversies, but rests on the broad facts of re- velation, evelation, and in simplicity practises its tenets." SHARED UP TALKING SHOES. Unlike Us, the South Sea Islanders Like a Squeaky Shoe. Like the native Africans, the South Sea Islanders are very proud if they can get hold of a pair of European shoes. They are especially gratified if they acquit c a pair that squeak, or, as the Africans call them, "shoes that talk." A story is told of a South Sea Islanders, who came into church with shoes merrily a -squeak. He walked proudly to the front of the room, and, removing his shoes, dropped them out of the window, so that his wife might also have the pleasure of coming in with "talking" shoes.
