THE PROBLEM. I. The causes of immigration to Cana- da are chiefly economic. People leave Great Britain because of the lack of em- ployment, e - men leave Scandinavia v b ploy t, They 4 cause often hard struggle for existence. They migrate from Germany because of compulsory military service g and from Southern Europe because of heavy tax' ation to keep up armies and navies. The magnets that draw the immigrants to Ca- nada are our commercial prosperity, our unoccupied lands, and our political and religious liberty. 2—As to the services of immigration many people are under a delusion in imag- ining magining that it is chiefly non-English. But the country that sends the largest stream of immigration into Canada is our mother country, Great Britain. The next largest is front the United States, These two countries -both English speaking furnish on an average each year over two-thirds of our total immigration. These English- speaking immigrants come with a know- ledge of Canadian institutions which aro founded on the British as the American also are. 3. Notice the magnitude of our immi- gration. During the Calendar year 1913 418,000 immigrants entered Canada. How many towns the size of Wingham could be made out of last year's immigra- tion ?-107, , How many trains with ten coaches in each train and fifty people in each coach would be required to carry last year a im- migrant. into Canada? 830 such trains. Out of last year's immigration could be made 8 cities like London, Ont., and there -would be enough over to make a Guelph, or four cities the size of the capital of Ca- nada, Ottawa. 4. The immigration is not only vast, but varied in language and nationality. The Upper Canada Bible Society distri- butes the Bible to the foreiginers in Cana- da in 110 different 'languages. 5. Should there be any restriction to our immigration ? Yes, we have a gate et the entrance to the country with eleven bars, that i' eleven different classes are excluded :—The physically infirm, the mentally infirm, those afflicted with con- tageous diseases, paupers, critninals, etc. Certainly the countries that have produc- ed these defectives should take care of them. 0. How is the immigration distributed when it comes to Canada ? Here many people are under a delusion who think that the West swallows the bulk of our immigration. The province that since the beginning of this century has each year received the lion's; share of our immigra- tion is Ontario—the•_brightest star in the constellation of Canadian provinces. On- tario receives about twice as many as any other province. 7. Are there any perils in our immi- gration? Yes many. , The peril of child labor which is child - bondage, the peril of intemperance, the peril or overcrowding in the housing, and as a consequence the pestilential presence of the Great White Plague. the problem 8 What then isr blem of immi- gration ? It can be expressed in one word, assimilation By amplification it could be stat: d thus :—How shall We, residents of the town of Winghain, take our share in the great 'task of, moulding this hetoro- geneous mass composed of one hundred foreign elements into one people making then intelligent and moral citizens, loyal to our free institutions and capable of self government. This then is our task. How shall we achieve it? THE SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. 9.' Here • we must acknowledge that the public school the press, our political institutions and even our labor unions are all doing much to break down the walls of language and the barriers of prejudice that separate these foreign nationalities from one another and from the native population. But serviceable as these agencies 'cs are for certain they fail to ends touch the inner springs of humanity and develop the finest character. There is One all suffieicnt solution to the problem. It may be stated thus t—We will Canadianize the foreigner when we Christianize him. Here is -a great oppor- tunity, but ass a grave responsibility, for if we do not christianize him Ile will paganize us ; if we do not give him the lofty ideals of the gospel, then the saloon- keeper and the ward politician will give him the lowest ideals. To show what the Baptist House Mis- sion Board is doing toward the solution of the foreign problem the speaker outlined the mission work for the foreign people. MAN AT q'H "THE GATE." L t 1. Our chaplitin to the. tmroigrants at Quebec the chief ocean port of entry gives them the first welcome, By using the H. M. Board as a clearing house itt a banking immigrant in communication with the system the chaplain puts the wandering, Baptist minister in the place where he ex- pects to locate so that as soon as he reaches his destination he will receive hearty welcome from the pastor of his own denomination. This is most vale - able work. SCANDINAVIAN MISSIONS, 2. The finest race of nor] -English im- migrants that enter Canada are these hardy Northttten from Norway, Sweden, traumatic and Iceland. They are industri- nus, iritelligcrtt, liberty.loving, virtue 1ov. frig' p*opt*, anal the infusion of this strain of blood into our national life has given it added virility and purity. There are four Scandinavian Baptist Missions in New Ontario—Deer bake, Poli Arthur, Kenora, and. Bergland. At the last named place there are 470 Scan- dinavian •families and Mr, Neilson, our missionary, is the only man preaching to them the gospel, SLAVIC MISSIONS. 3, The Slavic race includes about 20 different nationalities of which the chief are ---Russian, Ruthenian, Moravian, Bohemi- an; Polish, Servian, Macedonian, g aBul- r' to Aiont n, onegrian, etc, When we learn that there are 127,000,000 slaves in the world, we are not surprised to dis- cover that the biggest stream of non- English immigration pouring into Canada is Slavic exceeding the Latin (including Italian, French, Spanish, etc.) more than two to one. The Baptist Home Mission Board has organized Slavic missions in a number of cities in Ontario and Quebec. 1. In TORONT* there are three mis- sions—Parliament St., Elizabeth St., West Toronto -all in a flourishing condition. There are three missionaries—Rev. John Kolesmhoff, "The hero of a hundred fights" who served as missionary for twenty-five years in European countries, often suffering severe persecution by im- prisonment. Five years in United States and now five years in Canada. Nearly two hundred Slavic people have been brought to a knowledge of salvation through the Toronto Slavic missions. 2, In FORT WILLIAM four years ago a Slavic mission was opened which is now under the leadership of Mr. Klopschoff. Fort William is the most foreign town in Canada—one out of every three people there is a foreigner. 3, In HAntILTON the Slavic mission is under the care of Mr. Paul Kolesmhoff, a son of the veteran missionary. 4. In MONTREAL three years ago took place the greatest religious movement known among foreigners in Canada, when 500 Ruthenians came out of the Greek Catholic church. Out of this movement grew the Slavic Baptist mission. The labor leader who guided these people away from their mother church was the first of the party who was converted and baptized, and now the labor leader has become the mission leader. 5. In WELLAND, where every fourth person is a foreigner, a Slavic mission was established two months ago. It is under the.leadership of Peter Kolesmhoff, another son of the veteran, In this fami- ly there are the three apostles—John, Paul and Peter. 0. Six weeks ago a Slavic mission was opened in LONDON, ONT. Mr. Shumillo, who ten years ago was converted under Mr. Kolesmhoffs ministry, is the mission leader. From a dozen other cities and towns in Ontario have come strong pleadings for Slavic missionaries. These pathetic ap- peals would melt a heart of stone. But the Board can go no faster than the peo- ple permit them by their offerings. With- out doubt Home Missions in Ontario and Quebec is a gilt-edged security that pays the highest dividend on the investment, Let us then build up a moral and intelli- gent nation by evangelizing the strangers within our gates. :************************ I< ALFALFA AND SWINE.

GROVES, Sw.f 1 : : A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS It Told a Story Without Words By EMILY WESTBROOK :**1+,1•4444++++++++++4•44++ 3 Mrs, Van Tromp of New York was n globe trotter. Site was a widow with. ,. ono daughter, ter t d t t h was o a. „h , AI t c1 i L, who oblig;- eti lo trot with her mother, but would rather have remained at home, for Miss (1at101lne was n sensible girl and, al- though not averse to seeing foreign Iandn, was not winded to spend her Wein circling the world. in their wanderings the Van'Trowps found themselves in Bombay, India, having done that country so far ns women tourists could. Mrs. Van Tromp was lunch impressed with the display of wealth of the rulers anti especially the jewels with which they decorated themselves, for ornaments are dear to the feminine heart. It is quite likely that if a rajah, covered from his waist up with gems, had asked for the hand of her daughter she would have given her couseet instanter. lint n globe trotter cannot remain in one place or the term would be a mis- nomer. The Van Tromps left the city of ]Bombay to soil across the Arabian sea -and pass through the Red and Mediterranean seas to. London. Such n journey in a single vessel requires a great deal of time, and those cooped up together in her are apt before the end to become pretty well acquainted. Mrs. Van Tromp was sitting one day 011 deck in a steamer chair reading an erotic novel when the wind blew her veil off her head and sent it sailing astern. It was picked up by a gentle- man with n tawny. drooping mustache, who handed it to her with n profound bow. [Ie was so distinguished looking that Instead of giving hint the conven- tional thanks that she would have ac - (Wiled all ordinary person she bestow- ed thein with her tuost cltartning smile. The gentleman assured her that she was wciootue and further remarked that since the day was n trifle windy perhaps he had better find a more pro- tected spot for her. She accepted the offer, and the gentleman removed her chair and rugs to the lee side of the wireless telegraph office, where she was more comfortable. Now, Mrs. Van Tromp was a woman of fifty, while the geutleman could not TIE TROUGtIT IT ODD THAT A MAN MOULD Be CAIUIYiNG FLOWERS. have been much over thirty. There was therefore no impropriety in her eetering lute conversation with hint about the Weather, the ennui occasion- ed by so long a confinement within such narrow limits, and other small talk incidental to shipboard. The gen- lI in0u spoke with an English accent such as Mrs. Van Tromp had beard among certain swell acquaintances she had made in London. While they were chatting Miss Iadelito came u1 breasting the wind and jolued her mother. "My daughter, Mr. —," said Mrs. Van Tromp by way of introduction, stopping fc r her new found friend to su1ltly the deficiency of his name. ^Alackridge." Al r, Alnccridoe has,been kind enough h to peep uty veil from going overboard and to prove my chair out of the wind." The gcutleman bowed, and Miss Van Tromp inclined her head in recognh tion [Ie provided her with a chair that stood near nui received nn invite - (Inn from her mother to occupy ono himself in their company. This Was the beginning of one of those tourist acquaintances that, in. formally nude, often ripen into strong friendships. • Mr. Mackridge •was es- pecially attentive to Mrs. Van Tromp, who was especially gratified at being an object of considerationtlon fromm one so touch younger than herself, and she regarded it a proof that he httd been brought tib by some aristocratic tamil y from the who had not broken away£ r tradition of respect for age.e. This view was confirmed by Mr, Mackridge him• self, who when itecusetl of it con- fessed it, stating that ho taas the next younger brother of the Marquis 01 4oldingay, one of the oldest families in Ireland, He furthermore let it be known that the marquis was a bach- elor and in 111 health, This was quite enough to 1ndu0R Mrs. Van Tromp to lay plans for a lux- ion inion between Air. Mackridge and her daughter, The mother cast off her re- gret that she couldn't marry Madeline to a rajah and became interested to the more practicable scheme .of mar- rying' her to a man who was llltely to become a marquis, The first titne After having received this information that Mr. Mackridge jolued her and her daughter ou deck she made an excuse to go below in order to leave thew to • - gether. Miss Vali Tromp had become such a traveler that she was not averse t0 ptcking up acquaintances during a voy, age, but she seldom became familiar with them. sir. Mackridge evinced a desire for her companionship, but found as the journey proceeded that he wasnot permitted to cause to terms of intimacy. Mrs. Van Trotnp watch- ed his attentions to her daughter and could not understand why Madeline gave no more cordiui response, "My dear," said the politic mother, "if you would be more civtl to Mr. Mackridge it might be of great benefit to us. He tolls Inc that his brother has a house in London and is usually there during the season. We may be invited there and meet many persons of rank." "I thought bis brother was a bach- elor. Bachelors don't usually enter- tain," "Oh, Madeline, you don't grasp things as you should. You will never take the position you should because you have no push. The fact that Mr. Macicridge's brother is a bachelor should lead you all the more to culti- vate him." "I have thought, mother, dear, that you preferred I should cultivate, Mr. Mackridge himself." Mrs. Van Tromp• made a grimace, but accorded no 'reply to such stupidi- ty, for she certainly considered any girl stupid who would encourage a younger brother of a marquis, even thouglr the marquis himself was In bad health. During the passage of the Red sea 1.!r. Mackridge continued his atten- tions, and Mrs. Van Tromp was pleas- ed that Madeline seemed more dispos- ed to accept them. This acceptance could not be construed to mean en- couragement, but Mrs. Van Tromp felt more hopeful, and Mr. Mackridge took advantage of it to be more attentive. He gained, a point with Mfrs. Van Tromp by letting out the fact that he was a captain in a British regiment stationed in India, all the officers of which were noblemen. He had pro- cured a leave of absence to go home, having been Informed that his brother. the marquis, was failing rapidly. 'After receiving this additional infor- mation Mrs. Van Tromp conceived the idea of going ashore in Captain Mack - ridge's company on the ship's arrival at Gibraltar. He, being a British offi- cer, would doubtless be hand in glove with the officers of the garrison and would be able to secure for the Van Tromps special privileges. She hinted to Mackridge that she would be pleas• ed to have him with her and her daughter when they visited Gibral- tar, and he accepted the invitation with alacrity. But when they reached the port the captain was confined to his stateroom with a severe indisposi- tion and was unable to leave the ship. Alt went well with the trio who were performing this little comedy during the latter part of the voyage. Just before leaving the steamer Cap- tain Mackridge managed to obtain a Targe bouquet of flowers. Whether he bought them from a butnboat or they had been cultivated aboard the ship does not matter. .The ituportant fea- ture is that he presented them to Miss Van Tromp. The gift was made while the mother and daughter, accompanied by the captain, were about to pass down the gangway. The young lady inhaled their perfume and started down for the dock with than in her left hand, carrying a piece of hand baggage in her right. On reaching the dock she suddenly remembered leaving some article in her stateroom. "Please take these," site said to Mackridge, handing ]lint the band bag- gage turd her bouquet, "and keep then till I return. I'll 'be back in a few min• uses.'- Mackridge took the articles. a certain whiteness appealing about his mouth and an anxiety in his eyes as be did so. Miss Van Tromp ran up the gang- way, passing with difficulty those com- ing clown, and disappeared withinhlu the ship. A customs inspector, who was watching for smugglers, noticed a gen den= standing with a ?urge bouquet in his baud and pondered. Had a lady been carrying it his attention might not have been nttra<'ted. Suspicious as all custom house officials are, he l he thata tan should u thought it odd carrying flowers, and possibly it might be used as a means of concealing du (table goods. "111 look into that, sir, if you please," he said to Mackridge. The whiteness about the latter's month turned to a sickly pallor ns the inspector tool: the bouquet from his hands, 1' illing it apart, several arta cies wrapped in white tltisuo paper fell on the clock. The inspe<•tot picked them up, unwrapped ou0 uud a large in mond glist010c1 in the s11Wight.
