LACKS MESSAGE
Rev, Dr. Strong Says Pulpit Has Lost
Enthusiasm,
Serving God Without Serving Man
Explained Ritualism,
Montreal, Vets. 13. ---That the ministry
of to -day lacks enthusiasm and the rea-
son is because it lacks the message. The
scientific methods applied to Bible Study
have destroyed many a time-honored be-
lief, with the result that the pulpit is
placed on the defensive, and has lost the
power of the afirmative. Bany a
preacher speaks net because he has eome-
tbing to say, but because he has to say
something, was the opinion expressed by
the Rev. Dr. Strong, of New York, the
well-known civic lecturer, who occupied
the pulpit yesterday of the American
Presbyterian Church, where there were
crowded congregations both morning and
evening.
Dealing with the relation of the social
teachings of our Lord to theology, Dr.
Strong defined theology heretofore as
a circle drawn around the individual, but
henceforth as an eclipse drawn around
the individual .and society as the two
foci. The old theology had been severe-
ly individualistic, but the only real reli-
gion, in the speaker's opinion, was to
help G-od lift this blundering world into
the light. The attempt to serve God
without servingm, man was the explana-
tion of ritualism. The great object of
church activity had too often been to
multiply churches or build up the local
church, and the church, unlike its Mas-
ter, sought not to minister, but to be
ministered unto.

'BOLL WEEVILL,
•••••••••••••••••••.Y.
Alleged Conspiracy Among Specu-
lators to Ruin Cotton Crop,
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 12.—Aroused by the
publication of a letter written by Gov-
ernor -elect Hoke Smith and by the state-
ment of Mr. Smith that he places cred-
ence In the reliability of the writer,
farmers and commercial bodies are pre-
paring to act for the preservation of the
cotton of the State from the inroads of
the deadly boll weevil. In this Letter
and during his visit to the Governor a
prominent business man of New Orleans
exposed a 'plot of cotton speculatom to
flood Georgia and the Carolinas with
the boll weevil and then buy October
cotton, hoping to reap a fortune by the
scarcity of the staple on the rise in the
price, coupled with their advance know-
ledge of conditions. The sensational
disclosure is the talk of this section of
the country to -day, and is considered so
seriously that every possible precaution
will be taken to prevent the suesess
of the plotters. Commercial bodise in
Georgia will take up the matter dumog
the week, and will adopt plans by wheels
the letter exposing the plot will be et:le-
aned broadcast, the decision having bean
reached that publicity is the only ef-
fectual way to block tho scheme. An
effort will be retule to persuade the
writer of the letter to give the Oft11113

Toronto despatch: "Tuberculosis nurs-
es will be sent out by the city to the
homes of persons afflicted by consump-
tion, and it is the intention of the Medi-
cal Health Departinent to add to the
number from time to time."
This announcement was made last
evening by Dr. C. J. 0. Hastings, medical
health officer. One object of the pres-
ent house visitation by four experienced
women inspectors was to ascertain the
number of eases of tuberculosis in the
districts visited and to report on tho
conditions in the homes of the poor.
"Conditions so far are no better than
I expected," said Dr. Hastings. "This
is the aort of cases were aro dealing
with. One of the inspectors the other
day reported a case of far -advanced
tuberculosis. The father was the patient
and in the house were three little chil-
dren. The wife went out to earn is
livelihood for them. We at once sent out
a nurse to make a full investigation, to
warn them of tho danger, and report
their case to the relief officerse',

FAMINE IN CHINA
Two and a Half Million Chinese Are

...•••••••••••••••
New York, Feb. 13,—The Presbyter -
Ian Board of Foreign Missions has re-
ceived from its missionaries in the Pre-
tence of An Hui, China, an acoount of
the famine conditions prevailing there.
The missionaries declare that at least it
million dollars will be needed to tide the
suffering provinces over till tho next
harvest time. Crop conditions are so
bad, they add, that it will take the dia.
trict several years to get back to normal
conditions in the flooded districts.
The Rev. E. R Lobenstein, who made
a long trip of inspection through 1412
fl000ded district, around to Hwai 'Yuen
mission station, writes that "the inhabi-
tants are face to face with the worst
famine in their history. The rainfall
last summer was the greatest of which
there is any record and the autumn
crops were a total failure over a region
of approximately seven thousand square
miles. It is estimated that two and a
a half minion persons are practically
starving and the death roll of the coming
months is bound to be very great.
"For six months hundreds of thou-
sands will be absolutely destitute and
more then one million persons will he

Living in Some Hotel in Border Town
Not Far From Friends.
10.0.100.141...11
Toronto, Feb. 13.—Dr, Beattie Nesbitt,
first president of the Farmers Bank, is
probably within 150 miles of Torento.
It Is probable thot he Is in more or leas
regular communicatien with at least
four people in this city by telegraph,
mail and telephone. In fact. long die -
tame would be au Ideal medium far
directing his business interests here.
The charge; against Dr. Nesbitt are
not extraditable. Thc authorities de-
clare that there is no charge that Call
be laid against him that could be aus-
tained in contested extradition proceed -
Inge. Therefore, 119 police circulars are
dogging the footsteps of the fat and
jovial doctor and banking facilities are
emeeiciontly convenient to make life
CIO -SO to the border worth living.
Thom) who think that Dr. Nesbitt is
still at Island "F" are mistaken. The
police have every reason to believe that
he is beyond Canadian jurisdiction and
they do not doubt that he is in a com-
forable room in a high class hotel not
far beyond the border.
Dr. Nesbitt's connection with the
Farmers Bank has made him an exile,
but not it prisoner. It Is not likely that
sentiment will prompt him to change his
position.
.ALL RETURN.
Italian Immigrants Come Here, Make
Money and Go Home.
Rome, Feb, 12. --The latest report of
the immigration bureaus shows that the
character of Italian emigrants is mood-
ily changing. Until some five years
ago emigrants from thia country et -
tied permanently In America, ea how
they return where they have FAW.ht
minimum of $200 or is raaximum of $2,-
000. It is estimated, that twenty 'per
cent. of the emigrants return to Italy
within a year, and the remainder, with
few exceptions, come back in five years.
In South America, especially in Argon -
tine, this tondeney le particularly to.
ticeablo, more than 40 per cent. return-
ing in one year. Emigration has thus
lost its drawback in the depopulation
of Italy, and on the other hand it is
now increasing the wealth of the coun-
try. It is impossible to calculate the
amount of the money brought a,nd sent
to Italy anually by emigrants, but there
. was remitted during the year 1910
through bank and postal orders $100,-
000,000.
ALIVE OR DEAD.
Mother of Miss Arnold Does Ng
Know Anything About Her.
V/I11.01..11111/1
New York, Feb. 12.—Mre. Francis
R. Arnold; mother of the a:lee-ink Dore
othy Arnold, returned from her quest
abroad for her daughter, on the Gun-
arder Pannonia to -day. In the firat
statement she has raa,de for publica-
tion she declared that ehe does not
know whether the girl is alive or
dea41. Furthermore, +she asserts, with
particular emphasis, that she has not
consented to the maxriage of her
daughter to George S. Griscom, Jr.
The promptness Of the reply, it8
manner and force, led to the plain
inference that if Dorothy Arnold is
alive and does wed the mature man
of the world, it will be without the,
consent of the girths mother.
Mrs. Arnold answered two queee
tions: "Have you received definite
information einoo tho disappearance
of your datighter that assures you
she is alive?" The first reply, in an
almost inaudible voice was,. 'none,"
and when the questioner signified that
it was clothed that she should be
more specific the answer came: "I
have received no information that tells
me whether my daughter is alive or
dead."
The second qaestion was: "Have
you consented to the marriage of Miss
Arnold and George EL Griscorn, Jr?"
The teply firat was: "N," then, "No,"
dedidedly no."

MISS PANKHURST1 THE MINDERS
Daughter of Sulfraget4e Leader Ad-
dresses Massey Hall Meeting.
Canadian Law) Not the Bet—Better
Wages for Women,
'reroute, Feb. qualintly hum-
orous way, wIlich' failed not to appeal
to the sympathy qi her hearers, Miss
Sylvia Pankburse, youngest daughter
of the leader of themilitaut helmet' of
the movement ler the %minim's suffrage
in Britain, told it large number of the
people of Toronto Satierday night in
Massey Hall hove their campaign had
progreesed in that country; oi their
tights with the police, and of their ex.
perietiees in pilecie.
Although not it brilliant speaker,
Miss. Panklmesto le very intensely wrap-
ped up In the cause she has given her-
self to. The young speaker commenced
with it recital of the various injustices
to which the women orriritain were sub-
jected by the iaw. "You tell me you
hare good laws in Canada, but in look-
ing over it digest of your 'awe today,
I saia that .in Quebec the women hit','
00 property rights."
She then spoke of the elaeaptiess of
women's labor, In her own country
she said the average wages paid to
working NVOIllett was only seven shil-
lings, and six pence per week; in
Hull, Quebec, she had heard there were
women working for as little aseS1.80 per
week. In the greater number of eases in
the old country the women were doing
just the same wale ae the men ,who
were paid much more. She was glad to
say that In Australie, when the women
obtained the franchise, the first legisla-
tion they secured was that giving equal
Pay for equal work. et
Mise Pankhurst urged the women
of the Toronto Suffrage Association
to present it bill to the Government
asking that women be granted votes.
"Perhaps if you go to them, they
will say yes," she said. "But if not
there is one policy that I can con-
fidently recommend to you. That is
the policy of opposing Government
candidates at election time."
There followed a graphic account of
the Mirrors of prison life, and the
sufferings that many of them had gone
through for the sake of their cause.
"I want you," she told her audience,
"those of you who take an interest
in the poorer °lase of people, to take
an interest in your prisons and jails,
and do what you can to better con-
ditions in them."
The famous young suffragette was
introdoced by his Worship Mayor
Geary, who occupied the chair. In
opening the meeting, he remarked
that of all the modern trioeements
there were none which heel made
more spectacular progress than the
suffrage movement. Dr. Margaret Gor-
don, President of the Toronto Suffrage
Association, followed Miss Pankhurst
with 'a brief address on the week and
aims of the movement in Toronto. Rev.
Percy Billings and Mr. Arthur Hawkes
also spoke in favor of the cause.
Whet. Miss Pankhurst was about to
arise she was presented with a large
bouquet of flowers by Miss Mackenzie,
Thirty-five of the women students of
the University of Toronto acted as ush-
ers in caps and gowns.

The Latest Development in the Brit-
ish Imperial Movement.
(By Dr. Stephen Leacoek.)
We are living at is critical time in the
hietery of the Britiali Empire. Never
before in the history of the British peo-
ple eas the question of imperial defence
been so much in the foreground of dis•
cussiou as now. The world' has COMQ to
an tip of great states and concentrated
national power. The German Empire,
with its 65,000,000 European subjects;
Russia, with it vast Asiatic resource,
led its 150,000,000 people; the United
States with its 9?e000,00a people cow
-
pact upon their continent; Japan victor -
i0113 against the Russian and domiaant
in the Pa.cific; these are the great world
powers, with any one of which the Bri.
tish people may have to rechop, the ex-
istence of none of which can be left out
of our calculations,
intimate in its relations with all of
these stands, the British Empire of to-
day. With an area of 12,040,000 squere
miles and is population of 400,000,00,
with possessions in every continent in a
sense as the greatest power in the
world.
But Its tenure of power is peculiar.
The mother couutry from which it bas
sprung, the little islanis that are the
eeedle of the noblest and most enterpris-
Mg raeleehroearth, to which race clone,
lotion owe e in • o tiny other peo-
Pio in the world's hie eheet m in o.
bent but an insignificant por the
globe. Australia, Canada and the
ed States are each of them more than
twenty-five times the size of the British
Isles. But with the parent island is con-
nected the vast power, but boundless in
their hopes for the future.
What will the future be? How will a
means be found to unite in one form of
ehrumon defence and common citizenship
territories and interests so varied? By
what adjustment of our relations a(
trade and commerce, by what combine -
tion to our collective fighting force can
be best kept together? This is the im-
perial problem of our time.
We cannot yet tell its solution. Whale.
or to amalgamate our government into a
federal union, or whether to dely upon
the loose cohesion of to -day, whether to
adopt some definite action, or to trust
to the unseen forcesthat are guiding ite.
These are questions upon which our
opinions are not as yet harmonious.
But for any kind of imperial harmony
one thing is first needed. It is the true
Imperial spirit, the desire to maintain
what our fathers have bequeathed to us,
Which NVO must first possess throughout
the Empire in order that we may build
our institutions upon it. That this
spirit is abroad among us is is thing
of which we find everywhere arnple evi-
dence. We see it in the Canadian naval
movement of the day; we see it in the
vigorous action of Australia, which is
building its ships and training its young
militia men for a day of possible conflict
in the Pacific.
Most of all, perhape, do we see this
spirit in the British Isles. The finest
sign of our Imperial development is that
while the branches grow and flourish
vigorously, the heart of the old tree is
still sound.
Nowhere is this more evident than in
the wide -spread movements that are
takitig place in England to keep alive
the spirit of patriotism, and the deter-
mination to defend the British heritage.
Of this movement one of ihe most
hopeful signs is the establishment of an
association oiled The Islander -a, an or-
ganization not yet two years old, but
which bids Lair to run through the
length and breadth of the British Isles.
Already the society is enrolling its mem
-
hers and carrying its crusade through-
out tho mother country. Is the time not
ripe when similar organizations, with a
similar purpose, free from political bias
and animated only by a common pat-
riotism, could be -extended into the
colonies?
It was in March of 1909 that a small
group of private citizens formed them-
selves together under the title of The
Islanders. It was their plan to enlist

three heads. One—that the British Era-
pire floats on the navy. Two, that two
keels for every one of the strongest
European power is the teat of naval
supremacy. Three, that outside of his
own private business every man can,
and should, do something for his coun-
try.
It is not hard to establish theso pro-
positions. Anyone will realize our de-
pendence on the navy who looks at the
geographical aspect of the Empire. The
sea at the same time supports it and
holds it tooether. Our common fortunes
are invested' in the seas. We aro the
ferrymen of the werld's commerce. Un-
ited by sea wo cannot be conquered. De-
stroy our fleet and we aro lost. The
fate of all the Empire hangs on the
safe maritime connection of each and
every part of it.
For the second proposition wo need
only look to our history. Two keels to
one expresses in it word the place that
Nelson gave us at Trafalgar, the abil-
ity to put two ships against every one
that an enemy might send against us..
For one hundred years this has been our
safeguard. It has held in cheek Russia
striving against tis in Asia. It has given
U s our place in the guidance of Europe.
For Canada it has made easy the path
of negotiation with the great republic
to the south,
The third proposition Is of even grea-
ter importance,. The time has gone by
when we can look open our fighting
force as something to be hired for a
daily wage. The days of mercenary arm-
aments are past. Behind those we mist
