The New Chivalry For
New Age,
: Rev, V, Collies.
The Cromwell, who austerly enforced the
law, and "Under his iirna rule, the
name of England grew great abroad."
Collier %tyre "The glory. of England,

There was a time when all over
Europe, nearly au the weafth, landed
possessions and military quipment
Were in the poeseesion under the
control of the feudal lords, or heron-.
These feudal lorde, having all the
arms in their own power, were tine -
able, by the aid of their retainers or
serfs, to beeorne reap the rulers to
the country, The inevitable result tit
this Virati that they became little bettm
than ba,ntlits, very despotic and cruel
in their power and very tyrannical in
their rule. Under these conditions
sore oppression was suffered by many,
much innocence aid beauty was
grubs!), wronged„ and oruelty and
brutality were as the daily bread.
Out of these conditions there grew a
protest which gave to the time the
IMMO of "The Age of Chivalty," ,
Cbivalry may be termed the Chris-
tianizing of a reaction on the par of
many a noble -born youth against the
brutality and oppression of these
feudal lords, Certain young knights
tilled with revolt against the sava-
gery and inhumauity suffered. by
many innocent and helpless ones, de-
r:ex:lug to distinguish theraselves and
also render good and praiseworthy
seivice to humanity, dedicated thein -
selves, their strength atd their swords
to the rescue of the oppressed, the de-
fense of the weak and the support of
the helpless. Many were the hard
battles tuught, much high-born cour-
age was manifested, the valor of true
nobility nerved the arm in many true
and noble eedeavors and doubtless
much was added to the stream of
honore purity and truth whicla is the
saving strain of human nature. The
story of the "Age of Chivalry" is the
story a much that is fantastic and
absurd, but underneath it all was a
suelime spirit of willingneSs to risk
and dare.
Bat no longer do the feudal lords
oppress; no loner are beautiful
maidens captured and confined in
walled and intuited towers, their in-
carceration calling for some noble
knight to wage battle in their behalf
and bear them in triumph to freedom
and safety; no longer does oppression
go forth in the same rude guise; no
longer is thp longesvvord or the sharp
spear the equipment for knightly
chivalry.
But is there not a need for a new
chivalry for the new age? Community
or national virtae is neither automa-
tic in action nor self-perpetuating in
nature. Its action becomes intermit-
tent and weakened and its life dies
unless fed and strengthened, from the
snrings of the highest ideals of an
advancing civilizs,tion, The past
triumphs of purity and nobility and
virtue are glorious but their interpre-
tation into the needs of the preeent
must be the index -finger, pointing
to a grander life and destiny in the
future.
The banners of chivalry are furled,
but the same intrepid spirit that sent
forth the knights of the past and in-
spired them to deeds of superlative
valor must even now be summoned
and directed to the conaplete subduing
of vice, tbe removal of intemperance,
the overthrow of the jealousy of class
and the caste of position, the destruc-
tiop. of graft and intrigue in high cir-
cles, and other very real enemies of
the better life and grander destiny,
enemies' which, if allowed to stalk un-
fettered through the land, bid fair to
curse it to its remotest bound. The
motto of the New Christian Chivalry
is that of the splendid words of the
Apostle Paul, "bear ye one another's
burdens," and as long as there is the
proud rscorning the humble ; as Ring
as there is the strong crowding- the
weak; as 'long es there are the rich
over -reaching the ,poor; as long as
greed overlaps grace ; as long as vice
works with 'strong and subtle system
for the accomplishment of its devilish
ends ; as long asperity and virtue are
the victitu of legalized infamy and
shame; as long as there are so many
hafluerices at work for the degrading
of ideals, the debasing of life -purposes,
the bz-utalizing of passion and the
strengthening of all that is lowest and
Meanest in human nature, so long
must all that is high and true and
noblegird on its knightly armor, un
i -
furl it banner, take sword of the
Spirit and sally forth to righteous con-
flict. The lesson of the ages is that all
the streams of human good soon run
dry unless fed from the perannial
eprings of the life, spirit and truth of
this lowly Nazetene,

Shall We Have The Scott Act?
In •a recent issue of the Advence
the above question pas asked, and in
doirtg so, the writer states -"We had
the Scott Act Elba fond it such a
hideous failare that it was repotted on
the first opportanity, by thousands,"
The tepee' of the Scott Act does not
prove that it Was a hideous failure.
It is a Well-known feet that Wherein
the Scott Act failed, any -other act

Ietion, Would also fail, riernely, for

SOCIAL REFORM.
Mr. Editor -Will you kindly give
me space to say a few words re .Mr,
Rensford's letter in your issue of Apr.
24, entitled, "Shell we have the Scott
Act." I judge from the tone of Mr.
Ransford's letter that he takes the
ground that Man is a free-will agent.
He resents the making of laws, saying
what we shall eat or drink or smoke.
ff this is Mr. Ransford's contention we
entirely agree with him. But we
hope Mr. Reusford will not let any
formof prejudice blind his eyes in
this matter,
There is also another thing which
struck me forcibly while reading M.
Ransford's letter, and that is that Mr.
Ransford, whoever he is, has a -good
sized axe to grind on tlae LIquor
Grindstone, But I do not propose to
make any further reference to this
side of the question. Mr. Ransford,
let us look as this question without
prejudice. In the fleet place, why
does the Government find it necessary
to lay down laws and restrictions re-
garding the sale of intoxicants at all?
Why is not every one who retails any
comtnodity to the public hedged about
in the EMMA way? Why is it that
with all these restrictions the people
of this little Western town where I
live, which has only one hotel, are
finding it necessary to have a Mounted
Police man stationed here mainly to
keep that hotel within the law, while
at the same time the merchants of
this same town are struggling to keep
afloat till another crop is harvested,
striving to carry their customers
accounts, •.hecause they know that
those customers simply can't pay, but
the hotel keeper can buy real estate
and pay cash for it? Why is it that
some people are in favor of the bets
till their own son, someone dear to
them falls a vjetina ? Then they join
the cry "abolish the -bar."
Now Sir, let us try and view this
question la the Light of God's Word.
1 am glad to notice that you believe
in God and His Word, as is evidenced
by your closing: sentence which is a
quotatien from 'Scripture. Now, re-
verting to our first promise that we
are free-will agents. We find in God's
Word that God so created us, but at
tb,e same time God made a law for
this free-will agent to observe. You
will find it in the story of the Creation
of Mao. And to that Law he adds a
penalty. (Please note the , penalty)
"Death," Now, where do we find this
free-will agent choosing death, simply
because a little pressure was brought
to bear on him, And that unhappy
tendency is the'heritage of every son
and daughter of Ad.arri. Now, what
does God do? Does He say, let him
go? We have no right to interfere
with him, he is a free-will agent. No.
He at once found a way of escape.
The Death Penalty was paid, but in
the person of a substitute. Blood
was at once shed and the animal
which was substituted and slain pro-
vided the covering for the erring ones
And God at once promised, the ;seed
which should overcome the evil one.
And in due time God. sent his own
Son and he died. in our stead, Now,
if God cotsidered our case so seriou-
that he should come down from Glory
and suffer as he did at our hands, to
save us from our own destruction
which we as free-will agents have
plunged ourselves into I ask you in all
honesty and sincerity, is it not the
least that those,' who have accepted
God's plan of redemption and are in a
position to freely realize the awful
position in which Sin has placed us,
can do, to do all in our power to re-
move the temptations from their
brothers' paths so that they may be in
a better position to see and accept
God's plan of salvation from everlast•
eastsr, saes
ireeesedeprectioes
You wilt surely agree with me that
a drunken masa is not in a, condition to
receive the Gospel or any thing else
that is for his good, The Jewe of old
resented God's interference and deliv-
ered his son to be erucified. You re-
sent the interference of God's people
willing rather to deliver up your
children and your children's children
to this destroying demon, rather than
have anyone's rights interfered with.
You saywe are priest -ridden. If we
were Priest -ridden there would be no
need for legislation. 4 Priest -ridden
people obeys their Priest and if the
Priest placed hie ban on the sale -of
liquor the people would obey. Again,
the bat .of the laws of Oaeada is
placed on all kinds of critrie. ' Who is
it Are we not free-will agents?
'Well aimply becaase our free wills,
unchecked, would send the couttry to
rule. Nova why should not the bee
of the Law be plaeed on that whiela
leads to all kinds of erine9, instead of
legalizing its sale? This is where
we are Priest-ricicUrt bet the priest

TERRITORIAL STAFF BAND.
The visit of the Territorial Staff
Band of Toronto to Winghatn was an
Intereetinz event. The hand is COM.
posed of 82 excellent musielans. They
are all employed in the headquarters
of the Selvatiori Artny, in the city of
Toronto, filling very useful positione.
Generally speaking, they 8nel:id the
week -ends visiting cities and towns,
surrounding the Queen City. They
do not receive any money whatever
for their services while on these visits.
They consider themselves sufficiently
compensated, by giving a helping
hand to the local work of the Salve,
tion Army, as well as doing good.
The visit of the Salvation Array
Staff Band reminds us, that they are
part of tbe great musical departraent
of the Salvation Army, comprising
like some tvventeefive thousand musi-
cians, who play on brass instruments
in the fifty-zune countries and colonies
where the army .flag flies. This of
course does not. include the tens of
thotteands of other musicians, who
play on reed instruments, or the great
army of Songster Brigades, which
resemble the choirs of our churches,
It is pleasing to note that no one of
those teus of thousands of nausiciats
receive any pa,yrnent in -money for
their service!).
The head of the Salvation Army
Musical Depertreent is no other than
Brigadier Salter, who is located in
London, Englanfl, and who with sev-
eral other' expert musicians, edits the
Bend Journals, which are published
every fortnight these twenty-five
thousand Musicians. Thus, if these
twenty-five thousand men could be
assembled at a 'given point, they
could all begin to play immediately
under the baton of one band master.
The story of this head of the musical
department la an interesting one.
Prior to his conversion, about 50 years
ago, Brigadier Salter was a professed
atheist, and being a clever debater,
frequently met some of the greatest
Theologians of -the day, on public
platforms, trying to prove that there
was nothing in religion and ridiculing
the very thought of it being possible
for a man or woman to be truly con-
verted. However, this mune Salter
was passing one of the Army Hell, in
the city of London, England, one
night, when he was attracted by
hearty singing, The singing could
not be considered in any way classical,
but it was so hearty and was being
sung in such a joyous fashion, that
Mr. Salter stepped inside the hall and
took a seat in the rear of the sanue.
The singing ceased, when a servant
girl, rather illiterate, stood to her feet
and gave a simple straightforward
testimony. She said, "Dear friends,
I am glad that I have given my heart
to God.- I know that I am converted,
because there is such a change in ray
life. Before I got saved I was not
particular how I did my work. When
my mistress was present, I would
sweep under the furniture and move
the rugs around the room, but when
she was absent I was not so particu-
lar." Continuing, the girl said, "Now,
that I am saved, my work is done
just as well when my mistress is
absent, as when she is present.
Mr. Slater was very much interest-
ed in the remarks of this simple girl,
and although, he had discussed rnat-
tere of religion on public platforms,
with some of the most learned men in
England, he had to be convinced
that there was reality in religion.
The testimony of this womap made
him feel that be might look further in-
to the questioa of religion. The re -
snit was that he attended one of the
meetings couducted by Gen, Wm.
Booth, and strange to relate, he was
so convinced, that he was found a
penitent, seeking the forgiveness of
God. 13 Ing a very clever musician,
he bee I, I at once to use bis talents for
Jesu hrist, in the arrnyeia.nd com-
mew...4 the musical department of the
Sl &ion Army which has so wonder-
feny developed. Mr. Slater has cona-
!T ed hundreds, yes, even thousrnds
f hymns.
It is not generally known that the
Salvation Army has contributed very
largely to the hymns which are popu-
larly sung in all christiau ellurches,
A.s a sample of this, one of the very
hymns, composed by Band Master
Fry of the Saevation Army is, "He'e
the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and
Morning Star.', *This hymn doubtless
is known throughout the whole of
Christendom.
Perhaps one of, the greatest sights
that the writer ever Baw was a band
of seven thoesatid musicians, who
played on the platform of the Crystal
Palace, London, England. They were
all Salvation Array bandsmen, and as
before stated, not one received
penny for their servites. They werrs
playing for the Honor and Glory of
God.
The musical department of the Sal-
vation Army is only one of one /atm
dred and twenty-six separate and dis
tinct departments of work in the
arrny. It is, however, one of the best
organized. branches, in the movement.
Before a member of the army can be-
cpme a bandsraan, he must sign what
is called a bond., In this bond it
states that he must be an eearnple
as a christian, that he will only
play his instranaeht to the Glory �f
God and that he will not play any
where bat for Christ like purposes.
The Work Of the bendsznen Is a very
importitnt and. interesting departinmat
of the Salvation Army work.

MACHINERY BY-LAW.
Our citizens came to the conclusion
that our main street is a disgrace to
Wingham, which is one of the most
progressive tovkns in Western Ontario,
and consequently, voted in Jan-bary,
a sum of money for the improvement
-of same. The Council has decided to
build for time and have selected con-
crete. Debentures can only be spread
&ter a term of years representing the
life of the road, therefore the year-
ly amount paid by town and individu-
al will be less than if crushed stone
were used.
The Council is asking the town for
$0,500 to buy road machinery coneist-
ing of a heavy steam roller and crush-
er and a hose tower, The hose tower
which was destroyed by the storm
must be rebuilt and if the by-law is
defeated the Council will have no
alternative but to build it and raise
the money by tax this year. The
roa,d•machinery is needed for the con-
struction of main street abil can al-
ways be used for, putting other streets
in condition. If this by-law is defeat-
ed, the paveinene must be laid by
contract and no contractor is content
with less than 20 to 30 per coat. profit.
This profit will almost buy the ma-
chinery. Anyone desiring further
information on this by-law should
consult the chairmau, Mr. Isbister.
There is a forward nioveraent in the
province on good roads'let Wingham
keep place with saine. A public meet-
ing will be ealled by the Mayor of
discussion on the above by-law,

A Shrewd Mayor.
His Worship Mayor VanStone wish-
ed to get away from official worries
and decided to take a trip to Toronto,
Hamilton and the Niagara District.
In selecting his party, he showed
great wisdom. Lest he should get
into any legal entanglements, he chose
Dudley Holmes, K. 0. Money is very
necessary, as the Editor well knows
on such trips, and his Worship fearing
the fountain might dry up took a
never failing supply in the person of
his banker, Mr. Walker, Manager of
the Bank of Coramerce. Sometimes
the electric lighting goes wrong in
motor cars, hence our Electric Man-
ager, Mr. Campbell, and last but not
least he knew that he should have the
counsel of a father, so that the auto,
would keep the narrow way, and the
party return in good. form and in good
time.

Ambrose Naylor, aged 10 years and 2
months, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Nay-
lor, Elgin, Mane formerly of Lucknow,
Oat. On April 2ad, Mr. and Mrs. Nay-
lor and family left Lecknow for their
new* home in the West, hoping that
the change would benefit Ambrose,
who for a number of years has been
troubled with Bronchial Catarrah, 'but
the change was greater than he could
bear and on April 20th the spirit
eweetly and calmly left its home of
;clay to be forever with Jesus. The
'body wag interred in Elgin Cemetery,
the funeral service being held at the
home of Mr, and Mrs. Sydney Naylor
with Rev. McMillan it cherge, pastor
of Elgin Presbyterian 'Church. He
drew our attention to the fact that our
abiding borne is not here, and spoke
of necessity of preparing for Eternity.
Ambrose was a patient suff rer and
in all his sickness was never heard to
complain. He died as he lived, point-
ing the ones he loved, to the house in
Heaven. We sympathize with the
parents and five remaining children,
knowing the loneliness of a home with
one loved one gone; but as they sor-
row not with a hopeless grieving, we
praise God for the grace which sustain-
ed them in -the trying hour, and which
enabled each to say, "My Jesus, as
thou wilt."
Matrimonial.
A wedding of unusual interest to the
citizens of Rapid City was solemnized
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ber-
land yesterday before a large number
of relatives and, friends, when their

the room leaning on the arm of her
father to the strains of Wagner's
bridal chortle from Lohengrin, played
by Mrs. R. B. Harland. The ceremony
was preformed by Rev. G, P. Kaye.
The room was tastily decorated for the
occasion with ivy and smilax and pre-
- Belated a very pleasing appearance,
After the ceremony a buffet lunch

of pearls with a lover's knot, and to
the pianist a pearl and peridot brooch.

• ents, including some very nice cheques,

Fatal Accident.
Again it is our sad duty to record
the passing away of another of the
pioneers of this province in the person
of Mr. Luke King, who died in Ot-
tawa as a result of falling from a
street oar, The late Mr. King was
born in Queens County, Ireland, '72
years ago and like many of his country
answered the call ,to proceed west-
ward to the New Land. For thirty-
three years he was a faithful employee
of the Catholic Record, which firm, on
hearing of the accident, dispatched
a man to Ottawa to arrange all
matters. The deceased is survived by
a loving wife and several sons and
daughters who have the sympathy of
the community in their sad bereave-
ment. •
