correeponde to the facts which we ha,ve

consistent to say that Christ WaS born
four year before Christ, but it must be
borne in mind that during eeveral cen-
turies after the coming of Christ there
wag no uniformity among nations in
reckoning time. Finally, in the sixth
century, a learned. monk, Dionysius lki
guus, was appointed to ascertain the
time of 'Christ's birth, and it was order -
cd that history should be dated from
that time. Dionysiits, who first publish.
cel his calculations in A. 526, put the
birth of Jesus about four years too late.

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topie.-Religious inquiry.
I. .Asa cloak of maliciousness,
If. As a means of cleared. revelation.
I. As a cloak of maliciousness. This
history teaches what was the real ob.
ject of inquirr made by Herod aud by
the magi. It arengs to view sharp eon -
trusts of character. It represents a pic-
ture of sin which ever attempts to ar-
rest the progress of Christianity. It
portrays the blind wisdom of wordly
men as seen in Herod's persecution of
Jesus. It sets in bold contrast the craft
of Herod and the pious simplicity of the
magic, Though a king, Herod was one
of the most licentious and cruel mon-
sters of antiquity. His attitude to-
ward Christ is a most striking instance
of oppoeition to God. Ile knew the pro-
phecies, yet fought hard against their
fulfilment. He treacherously indulged
his malignant passions and self-seeking.
Re pervesely employed his very great
opportunities and knowledge of the
scriptures eoncerning Christ. He took
immediate measures against him, which
were characterized by his ueual cunning.
What he could not do by craft lie at-
tempted to accomplishd by force. Hie
eruelty at Bethelehem stands record-
ed by both friends and foes. Not only
is it related in the sacred pages, but it
is alos given to us by writers of that
age whose undisputed words confirmed
the truth. Yet his misery was apparent
in his anguish through fear of Christ
and in the folly of his attempts against
his life. His devices of hyproeisy were
mighty yet powerless before the power
of God. Divine providence brought to
naught all the designs of the wicket
king against the life of the holy child.
Evil ie never BO active or persiatent
as when it seeks the ruin of the young.
God always raises up faithful servants
to protect and promote his own king-
dom, and with it, the spiritual welcome
of mankind. He often protects his own
by smell means and humble instrumen-
talities as Le protected Jesus through
the instrumeetality of Joseph, a humble
carpenter. Cruel as was the slaughter
of the infants and severe as was the
discipline it brought upon the parents,
, yet it enabled Jesus to live in obscur-
ity until thirty year of age. The Jew-
ish scribes were euceessfuly deceived by
Herod' s questioning concerning the ex-
pected Messiah. By making known the
scriptures to him they uneonaciously de-
livered the child into the power of the
crafty monarch. He learned what their
expectancy -was. "He -wee troubled, and
ill Jerusalem with him." Thi people
knew the eharacter of Herod, and what
the consequences would be to them or
to any oue who might be suspected of
any sympathey with any claimant to the
'eyed throne of David.
II. As a means of clearer revelation.
Turing away from the picture of Herod
and his evil designs as they appear in
this reeord, we discover something more
beautiful in this same picture- the
sages, the star and the Savior. We 'study
the seekers, the sign, the search and
the suet -tee. We nail the magi the illus-
trious seekers. Their title, their pursent,
their wealth and their character were
illustrious. As seekers they were earn -
et, reverent, persevering and worship-
ing. Their inquiry at .Terusalem reveal-
ed an interest awakened, a belief avow-
ed, imperfect knowledge admitted, fur-
ther' information entreated and a mo-
tive deelared: From fbut to last they
were divinely guided. In the simplicity
of their hearts the magi addressed
themselves in the first plaoe to the of-
ficial head of the nation. They were
ultimately directed by the written word.
Their diligenee was rewarded and they
reached the goal at Jeeus' feet. They
sought a king and found a child, Jesus,
the beginner of a new era, the founder
of a new kingdom. They hailed him as
King and worshiped him, and their wor-
sidle 11.118 cleoid, believing, selfesearifie-

Officers Efficient But Fleet
Not Adequate.
London, Jan. 30. -Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford.ts (retired) book on
the British naval policy since 1002,
which has been looked forward to with
great interest, and the publication of
which was suspended on the eve of it'
issue a few months ago, is out to -day.
The auepension of thai publication is ex-
plained by Lord Charles, who says that
RS the book was about to be published
the First Lorcl of the Admiralty was
iemoved and the Board of Admiralty
was reeonstitutede Now that the War
Board has formed, he doesn't see
any reason for further delaying the
publication of the book. The title of
the book, "The 13etrayat," is the key-
note of bhe text, though the revision
it haet undergone since its withdrawal
last Novelnner has probably taken out
much of the sting. The withdrawal of
the book, as already stated, was due to
the retirement of Reeinald McKenna as
First Lord of the Admiralty, against
whom the indictments of Lord Charles
are inainly directed.
The establishment of the war staff
bY Winston Churchill, the new Fite3t
Lord of the Admiralty, satisfied one of
Lord Charles' most urgent demands but,
nevertheless, the book as fumed contains
trenehant attack on the Britieh na,vil
pplicy of the lost ten years, the evils of
whith, the author says, have gone deep,
and will take a long time to cure.
Lord Charles denounces the scheme
for the PI ditcation of officers se utterly
impraeticable. It does not, he says, give
the navy skilled engineers, while the
system of cramming examination he 0011 -
siders useless and injurious.
Another grave failure of the naval
p-oliey, in the opinion of Load Charles,
is the policy in regard to cruisers and
torpedo-boat destroyers. Eighty of
these vessels, he says, went to the
scrap heap in 1904, and they have
not been replaced. The result of this
was that those classes in 1909 fell from
45 to 30, though similar classes in Ger-
many rose at the same time from 20 to
30.
The refusal of the Admiralty to
construct docks for bhe biggest battle-
ships is denounced by Lard Oharlee
as a, betrayal of public trust. Ger-
many, he says, has built big docks con-
currently with her battleships, but even
new the vessels of Great Britain are be-
ing left to take chances in case of emer-
gence!.
The denudint; of th great trade
routes of protecting cruisers and the
weakening of the defences of the
Mediterranean through
come under the lash of the writeaparsimony'r
The
whip descends also on the Admiralty's
apparent idea that it was building a
Dreadnought that would paralyze for-
eign powers, while, no a matter of fact,
declares Lord Charfles, it has gradually
appeared that the American, Japanese
and German battleships are actually su-
perior to the Dreadnought in fighting
power.
Lord
1 Charles is particularly severe
oonT
el. the A miralty's admiseion in 1909
p
that it had underestimated Germany's
and overeetimate.d Great Britain's build-
ing eapacity. He declares tlmt the Ad-
miralty was aware of this fact long be-
fore that time, but had suppressed the
knowledge.
Lord Charles searchingly oriticiees
the famous Admiralty memorandum
dealing with a possible invasion by
Germany, and the provision against
such an attack, and alleges- that ehere
were grave deficiencies in the coal re-
serves, supply of stone, and docks, as
well as the personnel.
Lord Charles concludes by making the
general deduction that, while individual
officers were never more efficient, the
fleet as a whole, considering its vastly
inerensed responsibilities, has seldom
been less adequate.

Makes Serious Charge.
Japanese and Turks Show
to Better Advantage.i
London, Jan, 20. --Allan Ostler, eorrets-
pondent of the Daily Express with the
Turkish army, sends the following de -
&patch from Aziza, by way of Dehibete:
"We have just heard from the Turk-
ish War Minister that the Italians liege
seized and taken prisoners from the
French mail steamer Manouba members
of the Red Crescent Society wh.o were
coming to look after sick and wounded.
"The news has created iutense indig-
naion -here. For weeks the sick and
wounded have suffered cruelly for lack
of doctors and drugs. The tents and
hospitals are full to overflowing. Sick
and wounded lie in the tattered tents
and filthy hute asking for help, which
the doctors cannot give.
"Medical stores were brought by men,
who managed to get here a few weeks
ago, hut the experienced doctors are
too few for the work which awaits
them-, and now Italy has stopped the
men who were coming to help in the
work of mercy and eivilization. Every
day sees some whose wounds fester and
rot from neglect; whose bodies are con-
sumed with horrible diseases, because
they have no drugs or medicine.
"It was the japenese who sent doc-
tors and medicine to their wounded toe -
mere when they made war against the
Russiane. and it was the Arabs who sav-
ed and tended the wounded Italians who
fell into their hands.
"The Turks at this moment are car-
ing for Italian prisoners better thau
they care for their own soldiers. It is
the uucivilized Turk who is performing
these works of mercy."

Pius X. after giving his ring to be
kissed by each member present, made a
speech in which he dwelt on the mission
of women in social life. The 'Pope
thanked "the good and brave daughters"
for coming in such great numbers to see
him and exhorted, them to remain under
uthnodreirt.he guidance of ecclesiastical au-
ty"By so doing," the Pope oontinued,
"you can accomplish worthily the most
noble mission that women have in soci-
ety. It is said. that you belong to the
weaker sex, but you can show the world
wonderful examples of firmness which
the so-called strong sex leeks, as they

fie"Your mission is three -fold. First
is a mission of religion through the
diffusion of religious education; practi-
cal teaching more than anything else is
required of you, and you must afford
examples of Christian virtues. Then
there is a mission of charity which you
can accomplish in one thousand ways.
Do not only help the poor, but also and
more those who need to be recalled on

"Your third mission is that of sacri-
fice, and I need not give you any recom-
mendation on this score, as you under-
stand and accomplish well this mission
daily. If you accomplish these three
missions," concluded the Pope, laying
special stress on the word "three," "you,
fully deserve God's blessing for your-
selves, and also for all other women who
need comfort in their affliction."
COL. HUGHES
Wants a Million Men Who
Can Shoot.
Barrie, Jan. 28. -The twenty-fifth
annual mess dinner of the Thirty-fifth
Regiment, held here last night, was. at-
tended by the officers and about seven-
ty-five guests including Hon. Col. Sam
Hughes, Hon. J. S. Duff, J. I. Mutt, M.
PP., Warden Scanlon, Mayor Cowell
s the memtiers of the County ed
Town Councils.
Colonel Hughes devoted the major
portion of his addreces to his plan for
training the young. The importance co
preparedness for defence as a protec-
tion for Canada was emphaeizeel. "Give
me," he said, "one milion 'men wnu can
hit a target at 500 yards and we would
not have a foe invading our country."
Training should be begun in childhood,
and at twelve years of age the boys
should be where the soldiers are to -day
in the matter of drill, and at fifteen
they should be able to hit a target as
well as a man. "In five years from now,"
he said, "I want to have some hun-
dreds of thousands of these yohtlis
trained to shoot -and march. Then when
the brigade is called out it will not
waste time on the goose-step, but will
go through the practical manoeuvres
that would be required in the field."
Referring to a suggestion from Major
Cowan that a drill shed should be 'built
in Barrio, Col. Hughes said it was his
intention to build such sheds in the
large towns and. cities, so that chill
could be practised in spring and fall,
and not only during the ten days in
annual camp. Instead of sending the
men to the schools, he would send the
'schools to the men. Ile would endeavor
to give Barrie a good drill shed in due
time.

Thirty Thousand People
Take Part inTobogganing.
Toronto, Jan. 29. -While the by-law
that would prohibit Sunday tobogganing
on the public slides hangs in the balance
awaiting action by the City Council,
lovers of that thrilling sport are making
the best of their time. Yesterday,
throughout the morning, all six slides
at High Park were in commission, and
when the afternoon came the crowd
grew so neat that long lime had to
form, each party taking its turn uuder
the beck and nod of a dozen policemen,
and sometimes the wait grew wearisome.
In the evening the Hydro tights were
turned on, which lit up the elides from
one end to the other. Another crowd
came. smaller than that in the after-
noon.
The slides were in the pink of condi-
tion, and no ecriou,8 accidents marred
the sport. Three careless spectators
were bowled over at the foot of the hill,
two women receiving slight bruises, aud
a man named John Little getting a
twieted back that necessitated his being
taken to his home, 108 Rice avenue. In
the police ambulance. During the even-
ing a little girl was thrown from a to-
boggan and had her head cut. The bob-
sleighs monopolized the steep roadway
all day, the Police having nut up barriers
to prevent horses passing through. It is
hard to estimate the number who visited
the slides during the day, but the park
superintendent figured it at over 30,000.
Large crowds also patronized the Riv-
erdale slides.

Paris, Jan. 29. -That the springtime

opinion is to he belioved.
After resaerehes extending over a, per-
