GUELPH Mercury says t -A man in a

I,&oyn GE0E0E, as successor to Lord
Kitchener, will no doubt give further
proof of his ability to "do things." His

IN modern society it is not supposed
to be good form to eat with your knife
or pour your tea into the saucer. An
operation in California bas disclosed the
fact that a patient had two silver forks
removed from his interior and not a sign

wielded by the surgeon who discovered
the forks. Guess the poor fellow would
likely have to fork over more silver than
the forks before all were satisfied,
MANY a tribute is being paid Cana-
dian valor on the bloody fields ot France

deserved and highly valued it does not
atone for the great toll of human life by
the overweening ambition of a military
despot who has set out to conquer the
world. Many a home in this Dominion
will have a vacant chair because the
Kaiser revelled in war, No terms of
peace should be thought of by the Allies
that will not smash militarism to atoms.
Nothing short of this will suffice.

with more coercion is now necessary to
complete the drafts. Voluntary eervice
is better than Couscription but when
the former is not in evidence tben the
latter appears to be required.
Some of the delegates to the Anglican

Several nations have already agreed

ot the celebratiou of its siguiug.
The two nations were ready to go
to war over a bountlaty line. Millions
of dollars were being spent i0 prepara-
tion. Feeling was running high.
Just then the British Ministers to
Argentine and Chile, supported by
the bishops of the two countries said
to the two governments : "How much
better it would be instead of going into
a long and cruel war over this question,
and wasting all your money and thous-
ands of lives, if you would ask an im.
partial group of men front other na-
tions to examine into the case, and de-

In celebration of the happy outcome
ot the arbitration and of the signing of
the new treaty, one of the most remark-
able statues ever made wee placed in
one of the must unique places -namely
high up iu the Andes. OD the road from
One county to another.
The statue was carried by rail in huge
c^ates from Buenos Ayres to Mend ze,
then on guo•carriages up the mountains,

ing the ropes in critical places, where
there was danger o4 the mules stumbl.

selves on the soil of Chile, and the
Chileans on the Argentine side. There
was music and the boom ng of Runs.
whose echoes resounded through the
mountains. The moment of unveiling.
after the parts had beau placed in posi-
tion, was one uE solemn silence. The
statue was then dedicated to the whole
world as a practical lesson of peace and
good will. The ceremonies of the day,
March 13, 19 4, were closed, as the sun
went down, with a prayer that love and
kindness might penetrate the hearts of
men everywhere.
The base of the statue is granite. On
this is a granite sphere, weighing some
fourteen tons, on which the outlines of
the world are sketched, resting upon a
granite column twenty-two feet high.
The figure of the Christ above, in
bronze, is twenty six teet in height.
The cross supported in his left hand is
five feet higher. The right hand is
stretched out in blessing On the
granite base are two bronze tablets, one
of them given by the Workingmen's
Union of Ruenoa Ayres, the other Fp

the record of the creation and erection

the words; "Sooner shall these moun-

and Chileans break peace to which they
have pledged themselves at the feet of

spirit of peace and goodwill rests among
the mountains."

Partisan politics were not discussed.
CHURCH UNION
Following is a copy of the Editorial
in last Friday's Toronto Globe :-
Time, the healer, may yet prevent
the threatened disruption o1 the
Presbyterian church ever the issue of
union with the Methodists and Con-
gregationalists. The majority for
Union in the General Assembly at
Winnipeg was much greater than had
been anticipated in view of the large
minority vote cast by members and
adherents on the question. The ex-
planation is doubtless to be found in
the fact that among members of Pres-
byteries the Unionist eentimeut is
even stronger than among the in-
dividual congregations. The dele-
gates to the Assembly was naturally
chosen to reflect the opinions of those
wlto selected them. The report of the
Assembly Committee on Lha vote of
the Presbyteties showed that fifty-
two voted for Union in the propor-
tion of about four and a half to Due.
the totals being 400 for Union and 88
against.
The vote is regarded by the Anti-
Unionista as decisive arid already
steps are being taken by them for the
severance of relations with the Union-
ists and the retention of the Presby-
terian Church organization through-
out the Dominion. While the matter
is primarily one for the members of
the church to consider and determine
as conscience directs, the people of
Canada in general will not view with
indifference an irreconcilable conflict
within the Presbyterian church on a
question that must affect the moral
welfare and spiritual life of the Do-
minion for generations to come. The
door has not been slammed and bolted
in the face of the Anti -Unionists by
the majority of the Assembly. The
principle of Union has been resolved
upon, and the neeeseaey legal steps
for the consummation of the Union
have heen authorized, but the Com-
mittee to be charged with the taking
of those steps will proceed, with due
deliberation and several years must
elapse before the Presbyterian church,
as at present constituted, ceases to
exist. It is exptessly Provided that
the committee appointed to carry out
the declared policy of the Aseetubly
shall "report to the first Assembly
following the end of the first year
after the close of the war, and that
with the consent and authority of that
Assembly, application be made for the
legislation proposed at the following
session of the, Dominion Parliament
and the Provincial Legislatures." It

not 10 enter the United church," and
"that in the meantime Presbyteries
be instructed to move along the lines
authorized by the General Assembly
in Edmonton in 1912, either by local
unions or by withdrawal of one
church or the other where the serious
overlapping is taking plane to the
detriment of religion."
Under theee provleione it is clear
that, if the war continues until the
Summer of 1917, the General Assemb-
ly meeting in June 1918, will not be
able to make application for legisla-
tion before the session of Parliament
beginning in January 1019, and will
not be in a position legally t0 enter
into Unionbefore the Summer of that
year. Much may happen during the
intervening three years to lessen the
tension that now exists and to bring
the Unionists and the opponents of
Union more closely together. For the
fathers and brethren of the Assembly
who are striving each in his own way
for Christ's Crown and Kingdom,
disruption should be the lastreeot't.
THE NATION'S BUSINESS
The abnormal rains in many parte
of Canada have so interfered with
'farm work that it is now too late to
plant many of the usual crops. Much
land will go idle, or, if planted with
the usual crops, will give poor results.
This means farntere will have less
money to spend with their local mer-
chants for supplies of all kinds; manu-
facturers will have fewer orders,
banks will have smaller deposits,
there will be lees money and higher
rates for investment in municipal
bonds and other securities.
But live Ministers of Agriculture at
Ottawa could have retrieved much of
the situation. For the lessened farm
revenues this year they will be direct-
ly to blame.
At our agricultural colleges, and ex-
perimental faruis, we have a lot of
splendid public servants. No men in
Canada give better results tor the
money we pay diem. As a result of
experiments, they know exactly what
it is most profitable to plant at this
late date, and what is not. For ex-
ample, it is too late Inc wheat, barley
or oats, but ,experiments show that
peas, beans, and other crops may be
put in. The trouble is very few farm-
ers know this. The Ministers of Ag-
riculture have not told thein, or if
they have, theyy have used Fonrteentlt
