GREAT WAVE 1•1•••014, •••••••••••••••• At Wellington Throws 1.1 Hundreds of Fish, Pieta'', May 26.-A gigantic wave, the like of which was not previously re- membered, tumbled over the beach at Wellington Saturday -morning, and did some damage to summer resort prop- erty, as well as producing a freak of nature. The great wave was so violent that it rolled inwards four to five feet 'beyond the veiy limit of anything that halt been known along tile Lake On- tario shore front of the well-known re- eort of Wellington. When it rolled, oot again it had left hundreds of fish, many even white fish, stranded high and, dry on the main shore. They wiggled and danced until they breathed no longer, just as "fish out of water" might be expeeted to do. Wel- lington folk are accustomed to freaks of Lake Ontario, but Saturday's wove was the biggeet upheaval known. ft is felt that it was a marine upheaval akin to a tidal wave.

Defined in the practice of religion - Jeans ever eought his instructions and by reproof to enable his hearers to see the eantrast betweeo the false and true in matters, of religion, and thus to lead. them to the higher life and. to his standing of truie piety. The first radical pervieion of religious life, set forth here, consieted in the desire to appear relig- ious before men. The tiractiee of alms- giving was commendable and belonged to the clutiee W11101 Were prescribed in the law as touching; man's duty to man. It was a deed. of justice as well as of mercy. The best works become sin if done only foe the sake of appearance. The Phariseee performed these religious duties in a lood, ostentatious and un- profitable manner, in comparison they were like the "noisy, foaming torrent which, with a rock for its bed and bar- renness on ite bank% makea itself seen and heard," quite in contrast with the anoint+, gracioue piety, affluent inblees- Inge, but retiring from observation. Re- ward comes to both; to the former, the applanse of men, which they eought, but the disapprobation of God whom they mocked; to the latter, a reward, suited to their devotion and bestowed ley the heavenly Father. II, Defined in the heart devotions. It is the test of a man, what be is when alone with God. Prayer is intended to remind him that his Father, his home and his eternal inheritance are above. In God all the nobelest aspirations are abovd. In God all the noblest aspira- tions of men aro met. Secret prayex is indiepensable to the develtpment of spiritual life because of the needs which Can be presented in no other way. Its privacy promoths meditation and heart scrutiny. Its object is to. be alone with God, to cultivate heart religion and to obtain needed supplies of grace. The secret life of the 'Christian is the most importaot, end the eilent influencee of secret prayer the most productive. Prayer is an aet of the heart and not of the lips.

Chamberlin . l'retiident of the Grand Trunk am) Grand Think Pacific Railwaya has given general eatiefadtion to Montreal busillese men, There undoubtedly wee no man on the Gram" Trunk staff So well qualified to take up the duties Of filo Presideney as Mr. Chamberlin. In a measure his appointment. em- phasizes the growiug importance of the Grand Trank Pacific. end of the eombinatioe. This received a large portien of the tete President's beet thought as well act Mr. Chamberlin's undivided attention fee the past three and a half years. in future it will become an increasingly important fac- tor in the administration of the two roads. A. successor to Mr. Chamberlin as General Manager of the Grand Trunk Paellie will shortly be appointed, an interview, . Chamberlin. *said. "In a few days I will be able to give the matter some consideration, lint for the present have no person in mind. I will personally tteett a elm overeight over the, progrete 0: the road, as I have been SO closely assoeiated with it for the past few years." When aeked what line of general poliey would be pursued he said: "I will try to follow the general lines pursued by the late Mr. Hays, both for the Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk Pacific, but it is too soon yet to say much about the work. As a general matter of policy, Mr. Chamberlin said that before all also the Grand. Trunk Paeifie must be pushed to completion' at as early a date as possible, and all the heat energies of the organization must be utiliged- to that end. "This is not only highly desirable from the company'e point of view," he said, "but also from the country's point of view. The western country's point, of view . The western country is developing at a tremendously rapid rate, and already tbe existing rail- ways are unable to property imitate the business. The Grand Trunk Pa- cific is already an imperative neces- sity to the country, and we have got to get it running throughout its whole length as speedily as possible." Asked how soon he expected trains would be mooing from. Montreal to nine° Rupert, Mr. Chamberlin said he believed this would. be done in 1913, but it would not WI till late in the year. "Everything d.epends on the labor queigion," he said. "If, as we hope, we get an adequate supply of labor irom now on, we shall get the line through to the coast next year all right. But I may . tell you frankly that labor, especially in British Col- umbia, is in a great state of unrest, and it is difficult to say what will happen; but at any rate we have strong hope that by the. time navi- gation closes this year we shall be able to ship grain from western Can- ada through to Montreal, via Coeh- eane, on the Ontario Government railWay, and the old Cateada Atlantic line, which latter now belongs to lie. The contractors on the Trauscontinen- lta Railway are hoping to get the line finished from Winnipeg. junction to Coehrane, and if they succeed, then trains will be able to run over our own route from Montreal as far as the Rockies. Since his appointment as President Ain ChaMberlin 11£LS been in confer- ence with Chairman &flattens, who expects to leave at the end of the present week for England. WHO SUCCEEDS CHAMBERLIN? Winnipee,e May 25.-Announcemen1 of the appointment of E, J. Chamberlin to be President of the Grand Trunk Rail- way has ereated a lot of speculation in local railway cireles as to who is to succeed him as General Manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific, In this connection the name of George W. Caye, who has acted. as assistant to Mr, Chamberlin in the management of the western lines; inoet mentioned. Loral officials of the Grand Trunk Pacific refuse- to make any comment. 4 WOMEN'S.

"Is Prevention Better Than Cure?" Was the title of an addressi by Mre. A. Hamilton on tho same subjects, in which some pertiment questions were asked. "Is it better to draw the sevalnn or to take the fever patient to the hos- pitel?" Asked :ties. Hamilton. "Is it bet- ter to bury the poor wreaked white slave dead in her 'teens, or to teach equal moral etandard for men or wom- en?

LINE Rumor of One Between Lon- don and Port Stanley. A Grahd Trunk Railway line running between London and Port Stanley, and passing through St. Thomas, is rumored in transportation circles in that distriet. It is claimed that the road could be having gone carefully over the whole situation, have reported in favor of the bnilding of the line. The major portion of the Grand Trunk's supply of soft coal, it is pointed out, is taken to London over the London and; Port Stanley Railway, and this short cut route would answer its purposes much better than bringing the coal in over the present NM% via Buffalo. Another factor is the connection between the two chief eitres of 'Western Ontario, London and St. Thoinas, and between the two mein lines of the Grand Think running through Western Ontario, Niagara Falls and Buf- fah), and .-larnia and Detroit. The only connection between these two lines ie at Kiogscourt and Glencoe, and by the Buffalo and Coderich line. The eompany, says this report, has already surveyed a portiem of the pro. poeed route and their engineers, after built for $500,000, and that it would give to the G. T. R. a valuable eonnee- tiou with the lake port as well as Recess to a rich section of Ontario. TRIPS BY AIR.
