You have the courage that deserves to win out. An application is almost sure to be made to next week's session of the'County Council for financial aid to the proposed new. Huron Battalion. Wouldn't it be great if the British arrny in Mesopotamia would reestab- lish the old Garden of Eden," There should be flaming sword to keep the Turks from looking over the fence.

The New Era hopes the next Mana- ger of the County House of Refuge and farm will prove a worthy successor to the late Keeper Match.

"Billy" Sunday reminds us of the - old saw "You'll always find most sticks under the best apple tree." He evidently woke things up at that Toronto meeting and there will be something doing as result of. it. Rev. "Billy" scored a home run in that Arena meeting: --o-- When Nurse Edith Cavell, who, by the way, was the daughter of an Anglican clergyman, was about to die the martyrs death in Brussels, Belgium, she uttered this immortal sentence: -"Standing as I do in the view of God and eternity, I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness toward anyone." - --0-- Cyprus, a British island, is said to have been offered to Greece for their friendly aid by Kaiser Wilhelm. He might, with just as much, grace, but considerably more gall, included the Emerald Isle, un- less he was saving it for Roumania. How generous some folks are when they are offering what does not belong to them. Brother Jonathan will do himself no credit unless he stamps out the talk and supposed planting of exploiters, favorable to the German cause, who threaten to pay their addresses to some of the border localities of Canada. They had better try it if they wish to end out, in a very pronounced style,: the nettle of the average Canuck. A neutral power will surely see the dilemma they would be in if some: of these marauders made such excursions as they threaten, from the shores of the U. S. An ounce of preven• tion might be worth more than a ton of cure. The Land of the Maple is in no mood to trifle with 'a sworn enemy either at home or abroad. How do you young people measure up when compared with your father and• mother? You ought to eecell them in numerous points, but are you.dorng it? Think over their graces, their excellencies and heroism under various conditions and then compare your position with theirs, If they have faults and failings shun these as far as possible and -remem- ber the best heritage a young person can have is the -love, sympathy and wise direction of parents or other seniors. A little retrospection and introspection are often more beneficial than prospection. Cut out of your daily program what would mar or blight the character and cultivate what will be hopeful; helpful and heartful, The oak grows slowly but there is staunchness in its development. It will do Canada good to know that a $50,000,000 War Loan Fund can be floated with ease at home. The more people who share in it the better for the country and every man with a dollar in, vested will be keen to see that principles of thrift and economy must be both preached and practiced to keep the in- vestment safe and still not burden the taxpayers unnecessarily, There has been money encu h proven to be squandered is the handling of war necessities to make honest folk often register a pro- nounced kick and the probabilties are that the brazen faced grafters may per- haps take the taint and mend their ir ways: before given a berth in the Kingston Penitentiary.

PILLS Judging by the harpooning some of the statesmen of Great Britain is- receiv- ing in reference to how to handle the war public opinion is as variable as in the days of old when 'Hosanna" and "Cruc- ify" were spoken in nearly the same breath. While the censors are very busy scissoring the war reports and opinions of people the bluffy and often ridiculous clap -trap talk in Parliament by some of the all -wise fellows is sent broadcast. This should not be. Criticism may be all right in its legitimate place but a vig- orous fault --finder, whose liver is not working good, can cast insinuationsand set yarns .unwinding that bigger and better minds may have trouble winding up. There's evidently too much license given to the grassy fellows and if they were sent into the trenches and treated to thellun variety it might do good, especially if they received an extra quan- tity.

OW plainly the Christmas chimes seem to ring out to all, both richd an poor: "Ye who would be truly ha - py, do good, do good! Live not Por yourselves, for there is no joy in self ishness.

Happiness! it Is a divine gift, and man is godlike, if ever, when he tills some human heart with joy. What was it lint a lendable desire to render all mankind joyful et Ohrikt- mils which impelled people in the old- en time to open their homes and their hearts as well to all alike at Christ- mas that all might enter and share the Christmas feast? Fpiend or stranger. it matteredlnot, the master welcomed all, and all men who would partook of his bounty. No man sat down alone beside his Christmas are, wrapped in his own selfishness and careless of others' comfort No; the great Yule log was brought with pomp and much rejoicing from the wildwood, a mighty fire was kindled upon the hearth, and the whole neighborhood gathered around to share the genial warmth, while bright eyes danced with glee as the Christmas boughs cracked Werra. ly in the ruddy blaze. Tee flush of joy was on every cheek, and every honest heart throbbed with gratitude and homely pleasures. The wassail bowl went round, blithe carols were sung, and merry lads and maidens danced under the mistletoe boughs. Christmastide, which was also called Yuletide, lasted a fortnigbt, and every- body had leisure to spare until the Christmas revels ended with the masques, the plays and the mad frolics of Twelfth Night. But nowadays how things are changed! Even the week between Christinas and New Year's is full of industry, and few are those who devote all their time to en- joyment, The great hearthstones of ancestral halls have disappeared. There are no .wide chimney nooks wherein the brownies may lurk in cozy comfort, and heavenonlyknows where our penates hide -perhaps in the piano box or up in the chandeliers. IPi..,ye an Christmas Eva. - A Christmas custom of ours and the one possessing the greatest antiquity is that of presenting plays the evening of the 24th of December. Tbis was first noticed In the west of England. For several hundred years "St George and the Dragon" was the most popular. The actors, always children, were fan- tastically dressed and decorated with ribbons, brightly colored paper and wooden swords. The theme was war and love. There were debate, battle, - death and mimicry and a physleialn ever ready to restore the dead to life. This custom sprang from the ancient erusaders, consequently the feats of chivalry and the romantic extrava- gance of knight errautry that are pre- served to this day in a modified de- gree. Masking, which is practiced to some extent among Seotehmen, is ;derived from the Roman Saturnalia, when poo- pio disguised themselves and practiced tricks upon their neighbors. This' is now but scantily indulged in, but such of it as eristsv has been preserved since the fifth or sixth century. The Survey of .Londo1i mentions a splen. did "mummeries' which was performed by the citizens in tuonor of Prince Richard, son of the Black Prince, ir, the year 1377. We do not bear very much nowadays about the lord of misrule or, the waits. but both are remembered, The former bard license to do everything he could, think of to keep up the jollity during the "twelve- days," and the latter re. ferred to wandering minstrels, who serenaded houses and waited untie. food and wine or, more acceptable. money was bestowed upon them.
