Light cake—Ione those who burned the convention hall where Christians were meeting in the capital of the Empire of the Mikado. The belief that ideas can be -uprooted by doing personal violence to those who disseminate them is 'as old as Christianity and the Catacombs—as old as the hoariest superstition that darkened the mental horizon of the primitive cave man. But the belief survives, and nowhere -is it more strongly rooted than -in parts of Can- ada. • At a 'period when it was fondly hoped that the spirit of intolerance had been exercised, and when men's eyes were directed to the dawning of a more liberal and humane dispen- eation, the expiring embers of racial arid religious discord were fanned in- to flame, and a war for human free- dom developed into a fierce and un- believable assault. upon Freedem it- self. Angry passions were unleashed and the country torn by civil strife. And for what? What is Canada's gain icthe war? The satisfaction of duty done has been marred by the spiritual lapse of the nation,. and by the weakening effects of disintegrat- ing influences that have shattered confidence in our public men and na- tional institutions. Look where we will, it must be confessed that the war has left our -country poorer in the possession of those things on which we pride ourselves, as the dis- tinguishing marks of a superior cul- ture and civilization that lifted our cause to the highest moral plane. Our challenge to Germany swept us into the fire of Moloch with the enemy and we witness with humiliation the dead ashes of our proud vauntings as we taunted the German peoples with having sacrificed things spiritual and eternal to the lutt for dominion and power. Where in the many activ- ities of our national life can it be said that we have kept faith with those who fought for world freedom, and who died in the belief that their death was not in vain? Shall we look to the vapid inanities of the pul- pit, which 'has become the mouthpiece of the civil power, and the pro- pagandist medium for those who would shore up the tottering founda- tions of the old social order? Shall we look to Parliament, that has ab- dicated its functions and dipped sordid hands into thetpublic treasury? Shall we find in the Press, that has bartered. its freedom for dividends and betrayed its most sacred trust, any sign of the re -birth which alone could compensate our country for the horrors of a barbarous war?

WHERE CANADA FAILS Canadians who are generally re- ganied as sane lie awake- of nights Concoting fresh schemes for the forc- ible suppression of this and that Ism. It does not strike them, apparently, that the mind of man cannot be cap- tured like a fortress, and that ideas that fertilize in the brain cannot be bludgeoned out of existence by phys- ical force methods. Despite all our boasted advances"in education and civilization, these Canadians have much to learn before they can lay claim to be an enlightened and cultur- ed people. Only the other day the news was flashed across the Pacific of the burning in Tokio of the hall in which a Christian!

It was difficult to get rid of the --feel- ing- that Japan was still al barbarian country, until we recalled the bigotry and intolerance, not a whit less flag - /rant and barbarian, to be found in this Christian country of Canada.

It is to Bayfielet who saw some boats landing be found in the moral cowardice of those to whom the nation looks for leadership—to the Churches and the Press—and to the commercial stan- dards by which alone the progress of the nation is tested and. measured. But these, after all, are the effects of some inherent weakness in our na- tional character, and this in turn may be traced to its source, which is edu- cation. The Farmers' Sun attacks the University of Toronto in a most vulnerable point. So long as trade and commerce are the controlling fac- tors in our education system, so long will the country be lacking in vision and in .the finer sensibilities that adorn a cultured people. But it is to the influence exerted by those who man the governing bodies of our uni- versities that we owe many of the evils that threaten our cofintry.

The late Dr. Coleman, who had been a surgeon in. the Crimea War in Rus- sia, was busy instructing the farmers. and others how to -fight the supposed on -coming hoides. But it turned out and thought they had Fenians aboard and he commenced firing his rifle to warn the settlers, and the rumor spread with almost lightning rapid- ity and. increased in intensity as it spread'. In connection with this sup- posed raid, the old settlers told a good. one on Mr. William Smith, then a pineer settler on the 8th concession. of McKillop. As he heard the report he kissed his wife "good bye" in ease he never returned alive. He had no -- gun or other fighting weapon, but in urgent haste he rushed' to Sea - forth. Seeing him without a gun a settler asked him, "Why', Billy, you can't fight; you haven't got a gun." "I'll pick -up the gun of the first man that falls," was Billy's instant reply. Almost all of that gallant band of old pioneers, who hastened to meet the supposed on -coming foe, have crossed the River of Death. May they all 'rest in peace. Robert McNaughton.

That our educational systems are the breeding grounds for that intolerance which is rampant in places like Toronto, is evidenced by the advertising policy ,fnthe Big In- terests. From mores than one big concern in Toronto the,, order has gone out to refuse advertising to papers that advocate changes in our indu,s- trial system, and, -that refuse to con- form, editorially, to the policy of the commercial -and trading interests. It is the same spirit of intolerance, insidiously exercised through the governing bodies, that permeates the atmosphere of our • universities. Free- dom is the Very breath of education. Without it our professors and teach- ers cannot build up the rising genera- tions in the faith that inspired the pioneers, and that gave to our fathers that robust independence of character and breadth of vision that enabled them to reclaim the waste places and to lay the foundations of stable and orderly government. Without vision the people perish. Without freedom our educational systems rear a race of slaves. Not to political freedom only must Democracy look for com- plete emancipation. The freeing of Education from the narrowing influ- ence of modern commercialism is the genesis of all constructive reform.— The Statesman.

Powell's letter on "The Harpur- hey that Was," and appearing in The Expositor issue of August /27th. It recalled to my memory with melan- choly interest the names of many I knew and had heard of in the days of "Auld Lang Syne." Dr. Scott was my first school teacher at No. 6 school house, McKillop, in the days of long ago. I have heard that true Christian man, Rev. Mr. Barr, preach. Many a yard of cloth my parents have had woven at Ben Eden's place and many a dollar's worth of'grocer- ies and other merchandise purchased -at Malcom MeDiarmidis store. I saw that foot race on a long ago 24th of - May, between Johnnie Baird and the Goderich boy. I think there were others in the race. Baird was away in the lead if I remember right, when he collapsed, reeled and fell. A crowd quickly collected around the fallen runner; the late Dr. Coleman was in attendance and he ordered back the crowd to give the prostrate man fresh air. The Goderich boy. won. The afternoon of the previous day he ran from Clinton to Seaforth. I knew well that veteran auctioneer, J. P. Brine.. We often bought hard- ware -from the John Kidd hardware man. I remember the time when the "kist of whistles" was introduced into the Seaforth Presbyterian church, and Imany a God-fearing Presbyterian did not look on this move with favor, considering it a sort of hollow mock- ery.
