with him. The church stands for
eourething. He wanted to know—for
what? He was au earnest mind al.
ways seeking light and truth, He had
a high appreciation of the beautiful in
expression, Often you would find
hire with a elip of paper on which he
bad copied a sentence or two of beau-

memorize and gain pieaeure from the
thought for days. Ile was a constant
reader of the New Testament. He
loved and admired and worshipped the
Christ of that book. Same of the most
helpful talks' I have had with any man
were with him about the New Test-

Mr. Day was a lover of men and for
that reason he was a lover of the
Christ. That undying optimism that
led Mm triumphantly through all his
struggle for health during the last two
years was, I believe, born of the Christ

ultimate triumph of good. The Iaet

any man has to give—his friendship.

Letter From California
(continued from page 1)
March 1014 was 519,817, The building
permits for 1014 totalled $32,900,000.
For its population Pasadena bas done
well, According to liradstretts, the
population of this city last census was
80,201 and the building permits for
1914 were $2,142,000, while lianas,
City with nearly thvee time the pope-
lotion, reported building pertnite of
$1,107,000. There are floating ruwc ra
that Loa Angeles and Pasadena will
be under one city government, but at
present Pasadena wculd vote "No” on
the proposition, With care every 15
minutes we can get to Loa Angeles
many times a day if necessary.
Mount Lowe, quite near the rest-
dcence of the wsiter, bas its attrao-
tione. Even residents of Southein
California do not seem to tire of them.
The journey to Alpine Tavern (elmoat
at the peak) can be made by Electric
car, and from there tourists can make
the rest of the trip on foot, or on a
trusty burro. One of the roost amaz-
ing features of the trip is „the incline
to Echo Mountain, 35000 feet in height.
In 3000 feet travelled, the tourist rises
1,300 feet, with a grade of 02 per cent
on part of the route, From Echo Mt.,
the view is superb, Here, too, are
located an Observatory, the great
search -light, and the electrical machin-
ery for operaVng the road. The
diversity of magnificent viewe is mar,
velous, At one point, looking down,
nine sections of the track you have
passed over, are visible. Deep, dark
canyons are seen on one hand, and
mountain slopes on the other. The
summit of Mt. Lowe is over 0000 feet
above the sea. Mt, Lowe Observa-
tory is maintained by the Pacific
Electric railway for the free use of the
public. Mount Wilson, the base of
which touches Pasadena city Iimits
has achieved more than a local repu•
tation on account of its great Obeer-
vatory. With the great 00 -inch tele-
scope 75,000,000 stars have been
photographed, and the writer much
enjoyed an address recently given by
Frofeseor Ellerman, on the work of
scientific discovery along astronomi-
cal lines, that is being done by the
Observatory staff which all told
numbers about fifty. A still larger
telescope is being constructed with a
lens 100 inches in diameter. The tube
will weigh over nine tone, and the
telescope complete over 50 tone. A
specially constructed banding is te'ng
built to receive it. The transportation
of these up Mt. Wilson will .be in
itself a great achievement, for it is
nine and a half miles to the summit,
over the auto road built for the Obser•
vatnry purposes. A visit to Mt.
Wilson and its Observatory, and to
the work -chop in Pasadena will repay
the visitor, and much may be learned
from the visit.
But I must not trespass too much
on the editor's space or patience. Our
thoughts often revert to the old town
and its genial inhabitants, its businefs
men, the many friends we were privi•
leged to make. We wish the town
prosperity, and its citizens succese.
Of course this includes the Advance
over which we presided for 15 years,
and our great, big eucceseor in the
the editorial chair.

As It Might Be
A certain people were much given
to deploring war, War, they keit
insisting, was poor business,
Their King heard them, but he
didn't take them seriously. The very
first chance he got he picked a quarrel
with a neighboring Power, and that
done,• he lifted up his voice in the old
way.
'•The fatherland is in clanged" he
cried. "The honor of the nation b -
assailed! My ehildren, be patriots!"
But they couldn't sea hirci, "Nc t
on your life!" they made answer,
"You can fool all the people some of
the time and some of the people all of
the Lime, but you can not fool alt the
people all the timr!"
Whereupon the King made haste to
patch up Ms quarrel and was' very
careful forever after not to pick anoth.

Kitchener The Strategist.
Oue of the most cbaracterietic
stories of Lord, Kitoi eeer is told of
hie campaign In the Sudan, It a;r-
pears that snipers had been shooting
hie messengers, and hu ordered that a
telephone wire. ,should bo carried
acrose a ce►tain stretch of the desert%
As Kitchener had ordered it, of
course it bad to be done; but there
was much shrugging of shoulders,
for it was believed that after the
enemy had get veer their awe fcr title
new eontriyar ae they would be cure
to cut the L...e,
That Is what happened time and
again. Kitchener never complained;
be ei pty ordered the wires to be
repaired.
Later on the shoulder shruggers
learned to their intense surprise and
admiration that the overhead wire
Was only a decoy. Kitchener • had
caused the real wire to be laid under-
grouaad.

(Intended for last week.)
In response to the appeal for mater.
ial for bandages, by the Patriotic
League last week, at least 280 yards of
unbleached cotton, a number of sheets,
pillow Blips, towels, hospital gauze and
a quantity of pieces of linen and cot-
ton for wrapping were sent in. As a
result a bevy of women and girls met
in the Foresters' Hall, on Monday a&
ternoon and evening and rolled about
070 bandages, all of which were for-
warded imoaediately to Toronto to be
sent with supplies for :The new Base
Hospital, which is being equipped and
will leave shortly for the front. It is
worthy of mention that at least 70
pairs of socks have been sent to Mrs.
McPhedran since the let of January,
through the diligence of our faithful
knitters. Their is another supply of
yarn on hand, and any wishing toknit
snore socks, can procure the yarn from
'Miss McLelland. The Red Cross Soc-
iety are asking through the Patriotic
Leagues, for donations of maple syrup
in gallon cane, Contributions will be
-greatly received within the next week,
The annual meeting of the Green

Pres.—Harry Kirkby,

ment. The fee for the present year
was fixed at $2 and a law passed that
rubbers must be used on the green.
The next meeting will be held on April

A pleasant evening was spent at the

Sober Doctors. _
To the Eelitor—
Sir Victot HorseIey says "All doctors
should be testotalere for alcohol in any
dose, however small, is a narcotic poi-
son and the nation would greatly bene-
fit by increased efficiency of medical
service if ail medical men were total
abstainers just as the public would
enjoy a notable freedom from ac-
cidents if taxi-drivers and motorists
of all sorts and conditions were teeto-
tallere. As regards the custom which
still lingers, oddly enough, of using
alcohol as a drug there• is no question
that r0 doctor should u3e the products
of the liquor buaineea or speak of
them as tbougb they were tonics for
they are hat. Inrturperable 'Plctltns
have spot unjustly attributed their
fatal misfortune to advice given by a
doctor,
if alcohol is to be used as a drug it
ought to be employed like other nar-
cotic drugs, namely in measured
quantities and for a limited period
only. But no doctor can or ebould be
restricted in any Way In his choice of
a remedy,
No one, who has closely investll;at
ed the action of alcoholin recent
years, pressvibes alcohol. It is rapid
ly disappearing from both hospital and
private practise. This great advance
in medical work is the outcome of our
better recognition, nob only of Its
invariably adverse effects but also of
the unreasonableness of using a very
bad drug when there are so: many
infinitely better ones at hand. When
to this scientific position we add the
mmense looses caused to the nation
oy We drug, every one will feel relief
when it is abolished by civilization.`'

Mental Hints.
Keep your mind as wide open as
conditions will permit. Nothing is
'Wore conducive to a healthy mental
life than a constant supply of fresh -
thinking raw material. Care, 'how-
ever, should be exercised in this, as in
everything else In some environments
it will be found advisable to fit the
mind with screens to prevent the en-
trance of extraneous material. Filters
have also been found beneficial. But
no general rule can be laid down for
this. Each must decide it according
to his own lights.
Many Kinds of Hard Work.
"I want you to understaud," said
young Spnder, "that I get my money
by hard work."
"Why, I thought it was left to you
by your rich uncle."
"So it was, but I had hard work to
get it away from the lawyers."

Willie: Paw, why is the way of the
transgressor bard ?
Paw: Because so many people have
tramped on it, my son,
