—As an evidence of the progress of

—Amid the excitement of the Presi-
dential election, the fact seem to have
been overlooked, that in five States
at least, there was a proposal to make
Woman Suffrage the law of that
State. In Kansas, Arizona, Michigan
and Oregon, it was carried, but de-
feated in Wisconsin. To succeed in
four States, out of five ought to be en-
couraging to advocates of the mea-

—With thirty-nine applications for
divorce to come before Parliament, it
looks as if Canada was following far
too nearly the example set by the
Republic to the south of us. Fourteen
of the 39 applications come from To-
ronto. Possibly if two cannot agree,
in some cases at least, they are better
apart. The trouble often is too much
haste, and not enough care in choos-
ing life partners.

—Canada's finances are buoyant.
For October the consolidated revenue
aggregated $14,758,9A0, an increase of
two million dollars over October 1911.
The indications are that the year's
income will eclipse all past records.
The debt decreased duiing October
over four million dollars. We look in
vain for the calamity that was to
befall the country if a Conservative
Government replaced the Laurier ad-
ministration.

—So far, the Balkan war may be
set down as the swiftest military s.uc-

only been in progress a few weeks,
the allies are almost at thegates of
Constantinople, and appear prepared
to drive the wretched Turk out of
Europe. Apparently the other nations
are desirous of avoiding a general
European war, but complications may
arise, that will cause that long -dread-
ed and awful calamity. The general
activity in military circles throughout
Europe is indicative of the unrest and
danger.

HOSPITAL GRADUATION
EXERCISES.
Oz Friday evening last, that excel-
lent institution, Wingliata General
Hospital, gave another evidence of ite
usefulness, not only as a place where
the sick are cared for, but as a Train-
ing School for Nurses. Notwithstand-
ing the pouring rain, there was a
large and interested audience. ,Mr.
H. Musgrove, M. L, A., presided, and
on the platform were the resident
ministers, physicians, the Hospital
Board, and staff.
After an appropriate prayer by Rev.
Dr. Rutledge, a solo was rendered by
Mr, R. G. Willis. This was followed
by a practical address by Rev. D.
Perrie, who pointed out to the gradu-
ating class, the necessity in their pro-
fession for Sympathy, Cheerfulness,
Reverence, and accommodation to
circumstances.
Mies Miriam Wood then delivered a
well-prepared Valedictory, which was
listened to with much interest and at-
tention.
Then followed an address by Dr.
Kennedy. As might be expected,
this was pointed, practical and appro-
priate, coming from a physician of ex-,
tensive practice, and one so closely
identified with the Hospital from the
earliest inception of the scheme.
"Larboard Watch" was then sung
by Messrs. Hill and Wilford.
Rev. G. Victor Collins then in an
impreesive manner administered the
"Nightingale Pledge" to the young
ladies of the graduating class, Miss
Myrtle Imlay, Miss Eunice Peddle and
Miss Miriam Wood. Mr. R. Clegg,
President of the Hospital Board, pre-
sented them with their diplomas, and
Dr. Redmond with very suitable re-
marks, decorated each of the young
ladies with a Medal, the badge of
their profession.
Rev. E. H. Croly was next speaker ;
his remarks were brief but ap-
propriate.
liVinghatn's veteran physician was)
then called on for an address. He
responded with a song, and received
a rousing encore. Wingham and the
surrounding country has kindly recol-
lections of the faithful services render-
ed by Dr. Tamlyn iu the early days.
when travel was difficult, and the
settlers, many of them in poor circum-
stances, Dr, Tamlyn was always found
responsive to the call of duty, and is
yet active and. his valuable services in
demand.
In well-chosen words, Rev, Father
Blair felicited the young lady gradu-
ates, tendering very appropriate and
practical advice.
Mr. A. 0. Chapman then rendered
a solo in good style, was recalled and
responded.
Mr, Musgrove then gaate the Chair-
man's address, referring to the Hospi-
tale of the province, and pointing out
what Wingham Hospital had ac-
complished, its financial condition,
and the necessities it now faced, if the
good work was to be continued with
success. He commended the manage.
ment, the efficient Superintender
Miss Mathews, and the excelle at
method of accounting. The valu .ble
assistance rendered the Hospi. il by
the Women'e Auxiliary wag also
gratefully acknowledged,
Dr. Tamlyn's response to the encore
was then given. He sang "Rule Brit-
tania" with vigor, the audience hearti-
ly joining in the chorus.
The interesting exercises closed, with
the National anthem.

BIBLE SOCIETY MEETING.
If the attendance at the Bible So-
ciety meeting on Sunday evening, was
an evidence of the reverence felt in
this community for the Bible, and in-
tereot in the work of the Society, then
Wingham is a Bible -revering com-
munity and the income of Wingham
branch of the society will thie year
break the record.
The meeting was held in the Pres-
byterian church, and services in the
other churches having been with-
drawn, the church was well-filled be-
fore the hour, Still the people came,
until every available seat was occu-
pied, and some could not be accom-
modated,
Mr. John Kerr, president of Wing -
ham branch, presided, and after a
hymn had been sung, Rev. Dr, Rut-
ledge Ied in prayer ; then the Scrip-
ture lesson was read by Rev. G. V,
Collins,
Rev, D. Perri° was the first speaker
and gave an excellent address on
"Why I love and study the Bible."
After another hymn, Capt. Pugmire,
gave a suitable address,
The report of the Executive was
read by the Secretary, Mr. Ritchie, in-
cluding the names of the officers re-
commended, viz.: — President, Dr,
Irwin ; Vice -President, Dr. Redmond ;
Secretary, J. Ritchie; Treas., A.
Cosens, Representatives—Methodists,

W. A. Campbell, H. Percy ; Baptist,
P, Fisher, A. Kelly ; Anglican, A.
Alderson, C. G. VanStone ; Sal.
Army, R. Mooney, G. Walton.
This report was adopted, and the
newly -elected President took the
chair, acknowledging the valued ser-
vices rendered the Society by Mr.
Kerr, the retiring President, to whose
energy and enthusiasm, the success of
the work here is due. The union
choir rendered suitable music and Mr.
. C. Chapman of Toronto an appre-
ciated solo.
The offering in 1911 was $32 02 ; on
Sunday evening, it was $30,02, Last
year the collectors secured $20731;
the balance after deduction of ex-
penses, was $192.00 which was remit-
ted to the Society's Treasurer. It is
hoped that this year the contributions
will exceed those of last year.

CONFIRMATION SERVICE AT
ST. PAUL'S.
The annual confirmation service was
held in St. Paul's Church on Sunday,
Nov. 10th. There were ten candidates
and the service which was very im-
pressive, was attended by a large
congregation. The sermon was preach-
ed by the very Rev. Dr. Williams,
Bishop of 'Huron, from Heb. 2 : 1—
"Therr fore we ought to give the more
earnest heed to the things which we
have heard, lest at any time we should
let them slip," or in the Revised
V talon, "lest we Should drift away
Loin them."
There is a difference, he said, be-
tween lettiug a thing slip and drifting
away. The shock, which follows on
letting a thing slip, makes one con-
scious of the loss. But we can only
discover that we are drifting by hay-
ing our eyes centred on something
fixecl and constant either in the
heavens or on the earth. It is agaiust
drifting that the Apostle warns the
Christians. The 'Christians would
doubtless be firm in times of persecu-
tion, but, like all men, they are in-
fluenced by their surroundings. So
the Christians in Palestine would be
influenced by the Roman politics, the
religion of the Pharisees and the
philosophy of the, Greeks, Let them
pay heed to what they had heard and
to their fidelity to Christ. There are
two remedies against drifting. We
must pay heed to the Bible and to
Jesus Christ our Lord, the Word, and
the Lord ascended into heaven.
There are three kinds of currents or
tendencies to be warned against, 1—
Beware of the drift of the age. Each
age has some particular drift away
from Christ. The gross immorality Of
the Restoration w, as followed by a
philoso,phieal tendency called Deism
and this in teen by Agnosticism which
has resulted in our day in a conceti-
tratien on material well-being, 2
Beware of the tendency of the place
where yoti do well, Bring every ten-
dency of the place into comparison
with the teaching of the Bible. 8-.
Beware of the tendency of your own
heart, We all begin with a prominent
weakness. We should take tip our
lives periodically and bring there into
examination in the light of the Scrip.
tore.
The hymns and the anthem by the
choir were well chosen for the

occasion,

High School Notes,
The first meeting of the Literary
Society was held in the Assemly Hall
on Friday last and under the manage-
ment of the new president, G. Wilson
Geddes, proved a great succese, At
the meeting of the Society, the
student body, by a popular vote,
showed themselves heartily in favour
of the plan for a concert to be given
by the W. H. S.. The public are
again reminded that, as in former
years, they are cordially invited to be
present at the meetings of the Liter-
ary Society held fortnightly in the
Assembly Hall.
Your Will.
Have a will of your own, but be sure
your will is right. No one has much
use for the wavering, faint-hearted,
undecided individual who cannot
make up his mind to a thing and then
put it through. To count in the right
way, however, the way best for him-
self and everybody else concerned—
a boy's will must be trained to un-
selfishness, to consideration, to kind-
ness, to aiming at the noblest things
of life, and to rest satisfied with
nothing less.

A quiet marriage took place in
Toronto, Nov, Oth, the bride being
