In the short time since our Clttb was organized, we have spent many pleasant and profitable after- noons, and also some enjoyable even- ings, and have tried to do as much good work as we could for the boys atthe front the boys at home are also to be remembered, as three of our girls have already done and as Bessie is sod to do likewise, From a matrimonial view, the think our Club has been a decided success, and no one can tell what the future will bring. We hope Bessie will still find time and opportunity to come to our meetings. As a token of our respect and esteem we now ask you to accept this table and our good wishes for a long, happy anti pros- perous married lite," Miss Wells replied with a few well chosen words, thanking the -girls for their beautiful present, At the close of the evening a dainty lun:h. wase. served, After wishing the bride -el- ect all happiness the party dispersed declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening. In view of her approaching inarri- age the girl friends of Miss Lizzie Wheatley gathered at her home on Mouday afternoon, Sept. 17th, to show the high esteem she holds among them.

We felt we could not allow such a grand. opportunity to pass un- noticed and now we ask you to do us a very small favor by accepting this gift as a slight remembrance of the D.A.M.I,D.K." At the conclusion Miss Wheatley expressed her thanks in a very suit- able way. The girls took their leave by wishing the bride -to -he every happiness. Anglican Church and Prohibition The Council of Social Service of the Church of England in Canada - has issued a bulletin dealing with the question of prohibition. A careful investigation has been made in every province in 'which ,probiaitory laws are in force with a view to ascots taining the verdict of the Anglican clergy in regard to these laws. After setting out somewhat is de- tail and in tabulated form the re- sat of the enquiry, the following. conclusion is reached : What then is the verdict of the Church of England in Canada with regard to the working of Prohibition laws in their initial stages ? We may now answer that question with confidence, "Prohibition laws in the six piov- iaces that have enacted theta are working well ; but the -measure of their success is in exact ratio to the determination of the authorities to enforce them, While Provincial Pro- hibition is' good, Dominion Prohibi- tion would be infinitely prefera'Ife. The benefits gained from these laws aro almost incalculable, and the very thought al ping back to the old system is out of the question. In a word, the Church of England in Can- ada is solid for Prohibition." This is strong and emphatic lan- guage to use, but a • study/ of the hundreds of papers sent 10 leaves not a particie of doubt ort the subject. A few clergymen, not more than half a dozen, expressed themselves opposed to the principle of Prohibition on doctrinal grounds, While we have every respect for the honest convic- tion of our brethren on this point, we must remind thein that they/ ate in the .infinitesimal minority. Nob a few have told us that before the passing of the laws they were either opposed to, or doubtful of the pries elide involved, but that after seeitig the working of it, they are enthus- iastic Converts, A perusal of the papers shows that the demand for Dominion -wide Prohibition is very strong in every province, indeed it is not far from being unanimous. In any fight for the obtaining of this the forces that will urge its tnity "cornu the. Anglican Clturc)t in," CANADIAN PACIFIC (Meetly -6 Sunda), Sept, 86th, gen- eral change of time will take plalo.

Boards Have Examined Thousands of Men in Canada, Ottawa, Sept. 2i,—Before winter is upon Canada, Medical Boards es- tablished all over the country under the Military Service Act, will have completed a close physical ex- amination of many thousands of Canada's men. The object is to furl out what men are disqualified from active service in the army bp phy- sisal defects, and what men .'arc available, Medical authorities cal- culate that a vast number of men will reap very material benefit from this physical examination. Discuss- ing the matter today, a prominent physician said ; "The Chinese have the interesting custom of paying the doctor to keep them in good physic- al condition instead of using him spasmodically, to cure suddeq illness- es.
