WITH the tnforgettingand unforgiv- ing character of the Arab on the back of the treacherous and inhuman Turk the last nail is being driven in the coffin of the Pasha. The sooner the burial takes place the better as their past history can hardly be painted in colors too black. Arabs are a clever people. EVERY brave Canadian soldier boy who has suffixed in the conflict for the defence of the Empire should be royally treated and proper measures adopted to provide for his material necessities for the years to come, especially if unfitted to earn his own livelihood owing to in- juries received. 1T is said ex -President Roosevelt may enter the United States Senate.

Another "victory" of a similar character would blot out the German fleet. Britannia still rules the waves. POLITICAL line up is naw in array in North Perth bye•eleetion for the Pro- vincial seat vacated by Jas. Torrance. The Liberals have a good candidate in Wellington Hay, Listowel, while the Conservative banner will be borne by J. A. Makins, Reeve of North Easthope, and well known.

WHEAT exportation from the West was nine times as great for months of April and May in mai as for the corres- ponding months for Last year, Total shipped for two months past is 45,779,- 228 bushels. What this means to the Western farmer fs not easy to realize but trade is goiug the right way. With another big crop this year this Domin- ion should stand the brunt of the beavy expenditure of the war fairly well. NOVA ScoTIA Province continues to stand by Liberalism, as was evidenced in last week's election when the record showed 31 Liberals to 12 Conservatives. The former have held the reins for the past 34 years. Liberals are in the as- cendancy in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

WAR, DEFICIT, MISSIONS Following practical paper was yea at the opening of the Women's Mi sionary Oonvention of the Presbyter an chili ch assembled at Loudon, b Mrs. (Rev.) Horne, of ()obeli] g, au itis well well worthy of careful pe usual and prayerful consideration We find ourselves to -day face t face with three znomentius farts, War, a Deficit and a Mission. A three come very close to us and will b before us in varied ways tbroughou our meeting. The war is of all -absorbing interes to every one of us, for it has called on from every family, and is wilhou doubt the most terrible struggle th world has ever seen, carried ou as it i by the foe with suck unequalled crue ty and utter disregard of all the prin ciples of humanity, that we Stan aghast and resolve that rather Char submit to such a power we will giv even our dearest and best, that th sine which stands for Truth, Honor Justice and -Liberty may be victorious But is there not a danger that in ou absorbing zeal and patriotism we ma forget other obligations equally urgen binding on our faithfulness to whicl depends the eternal welfare of hon deeds of thousands of God's children "Lord God of Hosts be with us yet Lest we forget, Lest we forget," Then the deficit, this in the vivid teems of the small boy is described a "The thing you have, when yoi have not got as much, as if you ba nothing. This is where we stand to day, $27,000 less than nothing, a seri ous fact to face. It trust be faced with courage and determination, however if it is to be overcome, and the burden removed from our work. And third we have the great fact of oar Mission, the world wide spreading of that message of a Saviour whose advent was heralded by the angel host to the little band of watching shepherds, "Un t0 you is l` yborn this dayin the cit o F David, a Saviour, our, which is Christ the Lord." "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, gond will to men," The war and the deficit are both hindrances to our mission, and we are blaming the war for the deficit, Is it the war ? m' is it our own lack of loyalty and our inaccurate estimate of true values that is responsible 1' Do you remember the incident in the Old Testament when David and his a band of followers returning from the land of the Philistines, found that the Amalekites had invaded their district burn r ed their , e t cityand tarried captive these wives and child> en, to- getherv with much spoil? After en- quiring of the Lord and receiving as- surance of help and success, David with his 000 Wren pursued after the Amalekites When they came to the brook Beene, 200 of the men were left behind and David with the remainder basted after the despoilers of their homes. Through the help of a ser- vant of the Amalekites David was led to their camp and fell upon them while they were feasting and dancing in celebration of the spoil they had taken. David utterly routed the mar- auders and recovered the women and children, together with many cattle and great spoil, On their triumphant return they were met by the 200 who had been left behind and the question of the divis- ion of the spoil arose, Those who had fought and won, fltl5hed with their victory, claimed all but David said, "Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hall given us, but as his part is that goeth down to the battle so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff, they shall not part alike." And this became a stat• rite and ordinance In Israel, Do you see ? those who fight and ONA••'•••••••••••P••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• lWestern F'a •r' ' • LONDON, ONTARIO •• • Z s September 8th to 16th,1916 t o • ( POPULAR EXHIBITION ONTARIO'S • ) o• • •• Art, Music, Agriculture & Amusements i tA FINE COMBINATION AT LONDON'S EXHIBITION 416 A Real Live Program of Attractions Twice Daily " ♦•o R Two Speed Events Daily O A FIREWORKS EVERY NIGHT e i New Process Building.

The slackers, the indifferent, the actively opposed are not even mentioned, they had no share in the work, so no share in the reward. Every mission as well --as every battle is equally carried to success by those who go, and those who "stay by the stuff." To prosecute our mission of world salvation, all who can, Inner go to the front. cat 1ying the messagi,e, and itis equally the duty of all who cannot go to "stay by the stuff." What do we mean by the "Stuff ?" With us it is the keeping alive in nor hearts and lives the great principles for which cue Gospel stands ; it is constant prayer for, and zeal in God's work ; it is sacrifice and service for those around us ; it, is our time, our gift., our means given to the work of the Kingdom and the support of those tvho bear the message to far away people and lands. As a Missionary army we have been seeking to establish by peaceful means the very principles of Honor, Truth, Righteousness and Love that are being fought and bled for on the fields of Europe to -day. Our Empire has for years enjoyed all the blessings of peace and prosperi- ty. We have prayed a little, we have worked a little, we have given a little for the bringing in of the kingdom of peace and righteousness, and we have been content to make small advance, or something only to hold the ground already won. The call carne to its day after day for young men and women to go as heralds of the cross, but how few responded, and yet, were we troubled ? The treasury called for help, we had the gold but we paid little heed, ivas that staying by the stuff ? .Now this war has burst upon ns, so widespread and terrible, brought about by a nation who had forsaken the Christ, and set up for their God power and world dominion. Men are wanted to fight, yes to lay down their lives ; women are wanted to care for the wounded and sick ; money is wanted ; and all are being given poured out like water, and righty so, glad wea that the hearts of onr people beat true to our country and Empire in their dire need, But if we take from our allegiance to the King of Rings in order to help our Empire's King, are we staying by the stuff ? Is the officer who gives np her auxiliary work in oder to rin Patriot- ic work, staying hyllie sluff? Is the the Mission Baud which ceases to du anything for Missions and devotes itself to Lite iced Cross work, staying by the stuffy or when you and I di -vide what we have been giving to Missions, with any other cause how- ever wittily, ale we staying by the stuff ? Loyalty is on every Hp to -day. Ser- vice has taken on a_ new meaning ; liberality has attained a higher stand- ard ; but let ns always keep before us that only as our allegiance to the King of. Kings remains unchanged, of glows with greater intensity, can we dare to hope and pray for victory to the armies of our Empire's Ring. After the war, among the nations will some the "dividing of the spoil" ; the readjusting of affairs ;. and if Christ's army and Christ's professing followers have, in the din of battle been turned aside from that steady pursuit of their greatest m1551005, can they hope to be Lhe influence for good they would and ehotld be, after the noise of the battle had died away, Gertnan lnildtnrieln must be put down and destroyed, but we must be ready to give them something in its place. Can we do it if we have let go even in small measure one interest in and effort for the greatest work of the Ohristian church ? "Keep the home fires burning till the boys come home." Yes, keep them bright and clear, all the high ideals, all the true purposes ; all the noble effort for mankind's advance: Let our boys come home to find that while praying, loving artd working for. them as they have fought for us, we have "stayed by the stuff" and carried on the cern kof end. without loss in any field, because the war has brought us a clearer realization of God's pow- er and our ability to give and serve in any cause that carries with it out: heart love and loyal devotion, 13e loyal then friends in Ohurch as in.

Do not rob.God in oder to help some good cause, rather deity self more in order to give more. Remember in our Mission walk as in the war, trenches once won have to be held if advance is to be made. We can't leave our work in the West or in India and expect it to stand still till the war is over, far from it, the pow- ers of darkness will go on working, they never cease. If we truly love God, if we truly desire the reign of Christ in all the earth, then, while we use every effort to do and give for our Empire's struggle, we will more earnestly than ever give and pray and work, that aehiageffme A Christian college -home, healthful situation.

Presbyterian church definitely to union with the Methodist and Con- gregational chinches of Canada. The final vote stood 408 to 88 in favor of union. The resolution which prevail- ed provided that the decision of the Assembly be conmunicated to the Methodist and Congegat.ioial bodies, and also "that within a period of one year after the close of the war ttlty congregation which had voted against union be permitted to vote as to whether it would enter the United Ohnroh or not." Resolution, in ad- dition, conhhnitted the Assembly there- after "to seek the necessat'y legisla- tion for union from Parliament and that union be consummated as soon thereafter as regular steps can be taken," 'rhe final debate lasted for twelve hour% continuously. When analyzed the vote showed 222 ministers and 184 elders to be in favor of 1101011 artd 45 ministers and 43 elders to be opposed to it. Two things were very manifest —fleet, that the majority in 'the As- sembly desired to do everything in its power to placate the minority, even to the extent of postponing union for a year or two ; and secondly, that the Assembly had fully made up its mind that union should become an accom- plished fact as soon as possible. The discussion throughout was on a ]nigh plane, but the anxiety of some of the older men to save the 01101 eh of their fathers from what they deemed a fatal blunder was pathetic. It is hard for these stalwarts to realize that there can be any radical depar- ture from the old paths witlhoutgriev- ous apostasy, and there is no probabili- ty that some of these brethren will ever become reconciled to union. And yet the fact, that some of the old- er men, who were formerly pronounc- ed anti-nlionista, have become recon- ciled to the change, creates the hope that when once union Itae become an accomplished fact the wholly irrecon- cilable part of Lhe minority will be sruall. The tremendous impetus of such a movement as this is something to be reckoned with, and it is probable that many of those who are now op- posed to u111o11 will he swept into it, in the days 10 0011)0 by 1119.strong cur. rents of human sympathy end 00. opeation which will eddy and esVirl all about them.

Union is lint yet, however, an ac- complished fact, and there are still certain rumor difficult Ilea lit the way but we think that there is nothing in sight big enough to prevent its ac- complishment and we confidently ex- pect that this, one of the most signifi- cant religions movements of Ohristian era and prophetic of a new day, will coder the guidance of the spirit of God, be brought to a successful issue and will bring many blessings in its train, Listowel Listowel Masons attended divine service in Knox church Sunday 1110111l lig.

I had chills,my head would ache I was - always tired. I could not walk straight becauseof the pain in myback and I had pains in my stom- ach. I went to a doctor and he said I must gounder an operation, but I, did not go. I read in the paper about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and told my husband about it. I said 'I know nothing will help me but I will try this.' I found myself improv- ing from the very first bottle, and in two weeks time I was able to sit down and eat a hearty breakfast with my hus- band,which I had not done for two years. I am now in the best of health and did not have the operation." — Mrs. JOHN A.KOENIG, 502 Flushing Avenue, Astoria, N. Y. Every one dreads the surgeon's knife and the operating table.
