I lot's of No Use, View of 'Distin-
guished Veteran:'
General Sir William Otter, an old
Clinton boy, and a maul with a
distinguished cineol•, last week cele-
brated rated his•'S5th birthday,
The occasion fopnd hien in the en
jeyntent of comfortable health. ' The
general has come through not May the
strenuous' campaigns of the North-
goving tori materialistic, we should
have such an institution as 'Christmas
a time torthinkingeS others, a time
when both heartstrings and ptirse-
strings are:' loosened, \ellen giving be-
comes, not a duty, but a pleasure,
and when; giving happiness, and;
spreading sunshine is the business of
the•day.
Of course, I am well aware that we
should have a deeper joy than) the
mere joy,of having a good time at the
Christmas' season, We should have a
deep consciousness'of the boon it was
to the world when the Christ child
was born. And, surely, few of, us fail
to" bowithe soul in reverence • before
that Holy Child; few go thrdugh this
blessed season without a feeling of
humility and exaltation at the marvel
of it.. The ,aerie of our childhood'--
when we listened to the'wonderouS
story and our young hearts swelled
with love for the Christ, who calrie to
earth as a little 4babe—returns; and
anew we come with our gifts, for His
dear sake. Anlh I do believe Wit we
cion truly,. honour Him by making
others happy at Christmas time. Let
us widen the circle as much as we
can and spread • out the happiness as
far as possible,
It is well, as some families are
taught, that the children should learn
to give as well as receive on Christ-
mas Day. They should early have the
privilege of experiencing ` the keen
joy which comes from giving hap*
ness to. others. They will enjoy their
own gifts the better if they have
also shared in the happiness of giv-
ing.
"Do you know," asks Fred Wil-
liams in The Mail and Empire, "Any
little girl or little boy whose birth-
day happens to fall upon this date?
(Dee. 6th)- If you do, she or he will
probably'be delighted, or at least in-
terested,'to be told that this is also
the birthday of Santa Claus.l
For, despite 'what the elder boys
and girls may say, there was a Santa
Claus, but 1 is name was Saint Nich-
olas. He was born about 842• at Lye
cia, Asia Minor, and became Arch-
bishop of Myra. Buried in his cath-
edral at Myra, his supposed remains
were re -interred in 1807 in the church
of San Nicholas Bari, Italy, 'where
they are visited annually by thous-
ands of pilgrims. He is (or was until
the inauguration. of. the Bolshevik'
regime) the patron saint of Russia, of
• seafarers, travellers, those- overtaken
by sudden danger, and, especially, of
the children, who probabli* first turn-
ed `Saint. Nicholas' into `Santa Claus.'
It is interesting to be told that
there are more churches dedicated
to hint in England than to any other
saint (870 in all), in addition to the
cathedral at Newcastle and' a chapel
in York Minster, whilst probably
none of the saints have been a great-
er favorite with artists than good old
Nicholas, he being the subject of
paintings by Titian, Lorenzo Lotto,
Raphel and other artists. As to the
legends about St Nicholas, they are
as innumerable as the stories told
by fond parents about Santa Claus,
and goodness knows they are numer-
ous enough to suit any saint."
REI3EKAH
When intelvieWecl recently in the
light of his approaching' anniversary
he showed no, disposition to presume
on his wide experience of life to be-
come oracular. To him liar conte the
mellowness which is the trait of a
quiet onjoyinent of life, and he he'
trayedno eagerness to sacrifice it
for a belated re-entry into the realm
of controversy. Even a topic so di-
rectly within his ' realm of interest
as the trend,towards peace in the
world could not induce lain to coin-
mit himself to comment. Iris only
observation upon the Kellogg peace'
pacts and such anti=war movements,'
was that he might 'have thoughts
upon„ the value of such arrange-
ments, but that thoughts "were: no
use."
Sir ;William Otter's birthday- re-
calls a career .of outstanding suc-
cesses which conimenced' near Clin-
ton, on December 3, 1843. 'Following
an education received at the Gorier-
ieh Grammar School, the Toronto
lVtodel School, Upper Canada College
and the Military School, (Toronto,. he
embarked upon the 'military profes-
sion in which" he• attained such dis-
tinction. His services were' varied.
It included not only such local' in-
cidents as the Pilgrimage Riots in
Toronto in 1885, and the Grand
Trunk Railway riots in Belleville in
1877, but also the more speetacular
march a£ the Battleford Column
across the prairies in the Reil Re-
bellion, when 190 miles were cover-
ed in five days and a half.
It was in South .Africa, however,
that Sir William achieved his great-
est fame. He commanded the Royal
Canadian Regiment there and was
wounded in the Transvaal engage-
ment, besides being twice mentioned
in despatches.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was then
Prime Minister, thanked 'him per-
sonally in a cable message for 'his
excellent work, " and this distinction
was climaxed within a few days by
a more signal honour when, on pass-
ing through London, he was person-
ally thanked by Queen Victoira, to
Whom he and his men were' present
ed. 'Upon his return to Toronto he
was accorded a hero's reception and
was presented with a sword of hon-
our by the veterans of '06 and with a
servicit of plate by the women of
Toronto.
Sir William Otter's honors did''not
end with his South African esrvice.
Ile continuedtp Jake a. prominent
part in the country's military organ-
ization, occupying many of the most
important commands. Di June, 1912,
he was invested as Knight Com-
mander of the Bath by the Ring.
De is living a retired life at the
Alexandra Palace Apartments on
University' avenue. He is still a
familiar Wand honored figure, how-
ever, at military gatherings.

MEETING OF PRESBYTERY
OF TIIE UNITED CHURCH
The Presbytery of Huron, of the
United Church of Canada, met in're-
gular session in Victoria street United
church, Goderich, on Tuesday last,
with Rev, R Ii mn ' ' by, S T D of
. ,
Blyth, In the "chair, Owing to the
lateness of the season and the condi-
tion of the roads the attendance, was
not quite as large as usual.
The Presbytery listened with inter-
est to a number of committeee re-
ports, all of which'ealied the church
to a deeper consecration of itself to
the work before it, and to a more
faithful following of Jesus Christ in
every department of life, The for-
eign missionary committee eniphee-
ized the workof rrlieelonary educa-
tion and urged all ministers and lead-
ers to aequaint themselves with the
report of the recent Jertisalein Mis-
sionary. Conerence.
The life and ,work committee pre
stinted a very, able and pertinent re-
port. Anrosig other things this report
said (1) that a protest is due against
any lowering of our standards of in-
divid+.lal and social life;' (2) that many
families are making a serious anis-
take "in not creating the wholesome
restraints and gracious culture that
belong to religious exercises. and
Worshipin the home; (3) that there"
•
ought to be a far more faithful sup
port of the Sunday school than there
is; (4) that "there is an immediate
need for ,gatherings of small and
large gamins for prayet and the kind
of thin6•that"Btwyan saw, of some
women of Bedford"talking together of
the deep things of God;" (5) that all
communicants be nrged to be loyal to
the spirit and program of Jesus; and
(6) that minister's and congregations,
consider seriously the threatened
dearth of candidates for the ministry..
The secretary was instructed to have
