London, Ont . March 21st, 1910
To the Members of the Knights of
Columbus in Ontario:
The civilized world faces one of the
supreme crisis of History. Familiarity
with the horrors of; the struggle is apt
to breed indifference to its true meaning
and its inherit menace. It seems t'a me
that I am but fulfilling one of my c:uties
as State Chaplain of the Knights of
Columbus in. Ontario in drawing the
earnest attention of the Membership of
the Order to the obligations that rest
MINOR LOCALS.
—The regular monthly meeting of
the Town Council will be held next
Monday evening.
—Mr. Isaac J. Wright, of Turnberry,
has sold his Clydesdale stallion to Mr.
Thos. E. Morgan, of Ripley.
upon us.
I shall waste no time in discussing
undeniable principles or fundamental
truths. That the British Eml•ire is en-
gaged in a just war, that the war is as
much Canada's as England's and that
Canada's citizens have a bounden duty
to spare no effort in bringing that war
to a victorious issue are statements so
self-evident as to require no proof.
Neither shall I attempt to fix a term
to the duration of the war. The time
of its ending is known only to Him who
holds ourselves and all our interests in
the hollow of His hand, but I shall
write of what I know. At this moment
the Imperial authorities are urging en-
listment by every available argument
and are appealing to all British subjects
to place patriotism and the national
cause before personal considerations.
The Canadian Government has issued a
call for half a million men. I agree
that the provision of such a number of
men will tax our population to the limit.
What if it does? Is not the cause
worthy of the supremest sacrifice? I
am not competent to measure the pos-
sible effect on commerce and industry
of the withdrawal of so vast a body of
men from peaceful pursuits. I assume
that good judgment and common sense
will prevent the crippling of enterprises
that are necessary for the proper con-
duct of the war. With all other phases
of finance, commerce or industry, I
have no present concern—nor have you.
There is a work to be done; our effort
must co-operate in the doing.
Honor calls on every Knight of
Columbus who is fit and free for Over-
seas Service to offer himself for the
work. Shall we leave the burden, the
duty and the glory of this work to
others?
Patriotism adds its urging to the call
of honor. The danger is just as real to
Ottawa. Toronto, and London, as to the
shores of Sussex or the banks of the
Thames. Shall we forget the sacred
truth that it is sweet and glorious to
die—or at least to offer to die—for one's
counfry?
The rights of humanity require that
we make the sacrifice. Have martyred
Belgium and stricken Servia and sorely -
pressed France no power to awaken a
responsive cry in our bosoms.
The defence of civilization demands
that we hurry to its assistance. It is
our civilization—the civilization that
suits us—that is in jeopardy. Are we
prepared to willingly accept another
kind of civilization? Do we realize that
the exercise of personal responsibility
in political affairs, upon which rests
civil liberty, hangs in the balance?

I say no word of the demands of con-
science. It were folly to emphasize
that aspect of the present hour. The
man who is dead to the appeal of
honor and patriotism, of humanity and
civilization, is not apt to be alive to the
call of conscience.
More than a century ago Edmund
Burke lamented that the age of chivalry
had gone because ten thousand swords
had not leaped from their scabbards to
avenge even a look that threatened with
insult the gentle Queen of France. The
Knights of Columbus draw much of
their meaning and much of their in-
spiration from the glorious deeds of
the great Military Orders of the days
of chivalry. Let us beware lest, when
the struggle is over and the victory
won, we merit the rebuke that in the
hour of trial a long distance lay between
our principles and our practice. I
write much more in dread than in re-
proach. My sole purpose is to place
before every Knight of Columbus some
considerations that should cause him to
reflect, that should give•him matter for
meditation, that should inform his
judgment and direct his decision.

CLOUD FORMATIONS.
Why the Masses of Moisture Are Able'
to Float In the Air.
Clouds consist of particles of con-
densed water vapor and in some cases
of extremely fine spicules of ice, which
is also formed from water vapor. Wa-
ter vapor which arises by evaporation
from the surface of seas, lakes, etc.,
is lighter than dry air at the same
temperature and pressure. It Is also
invisible.
It disseminates itself through the
atmosphere and ascends 'to great
heights. There, owing to the fall or
temperatures and to other causes, it
begins to condense into particles which
are slightly heavier than air and which
become visible clouds.
Owing to the influence of winds and
of rising currents as well as to the
fact that the condensed particles are
nearly as light as air the clouds remain:
floating, like fine suspended matter hi
water, until further condensation cre-
ates particles of sufficient size to form
raindrops, whose relative great weight
brings them rapidly to the ground.
That clouds do slowly descend even
when not condensed into rain may bo
observed when they are seen to dis-
solve and disappeatt without apparent
cause. This is caused by the cloud's
descent to a level where a rise of tem-
perature causes the condensed ;water
vapor to revolatilize, thus becoming
again invisible.
"Do as Rome Does."
The , saying "Do as. Moine does"
originated with St. Ambrose In the
fourth century. It arose from a di-
versity of the observance of Saturday.
The Milanese made it a feast, the Eo -
marls a fast. St. Ambrose, being ask-
ed what should be done in such a
case,°replied: "In matters of little con-
sequence It is better to be guided by
the genera! usage. When I am at
Milan do not fast on Saturday, but
wheiir1 am at Rome I de as they do in
Itome."
