been reached.
Fereign Troops.
The next step to be taken will be
the setting free of troops m»v in

has already expeseed the readiness
of taw South Airica.n Government
to undertake •the defence of its

of these battalions, and perhape

there are five infantry battalions in

Of the:se are sure to be replaced be-

which have volunteered for foreign

Limit of 300,000.
Before, however, these garrison
troops have beep eet, free, the great-
er part of the Indian contingent

strength of whieh has been declared
with unusual official frankness at

Let us have the men firsts by ail
means, but what is to follow?
There is at present stteh vagueness
on that point that it would be un-
profitable guesswork to conjecture
when any of the eager thoveands of
reoruits would be fit for fighting.
Their youth and keenness will help
them splendidly through their drill;
they grow in military grace before
one's eyes, watching -them from
day to day, and though some look
• too light for hard training, the bulk
could be turned into soldiers if only
the implements were to hand.
Those implements are rifles and
ammunition'and until their arrival
it is futile T,0 guess at the date for
any sort -of c,onsumm,ation. As the
men of :the new army have nothing
to do with OUT defence they can live
on the ranges till they learn to
hoot, and as our present ranges
are altogether inadequate it would
be wiso policy to construct without
delay as many 300 -yard ranges on

men in the near future is by no

GERMANS AWE LEARNING.
['se Bayonets More Freely, and
Their Shooting is Improving.
A despatch from. Northern France
says: • The Belgian Soldiers tell a
correspondent that the German in-
fantry no longer appear to fear the
bayonet charges, and make far
more use of the bayonet •thentselves
than formenly. Their rifle shooting
also has improved. Mese are indi-
cations that they are learning from
the allies as the War advances. At
Ostend the Germans have forced
and looted freely all th.e largo
houses that have remained unoccu-
pied. They Compelled most of the
shops to- open as usual.

IS CHRISTIANITY A FAILURE?
Thousands Have Tried It and Are Trying
It, and Never Once Without Success
"Eveivone that hea,reth these
words oi mine, and doeth them,
shall be likened unto a man who
built his house :loon the rock; and
the rains descended, and the floods
came, and the winds Iblew and beat
upon that house ; and it fell -net,
for it was Sounded upon the ruck."
-Matthew vii., 24.25. '
This question is not new I lb has
been asked whenever a whole so-
ciety, like eighteenth .century
Frame, has been rotten with cor-
ruption; whenever a 'barbarous in-
stitution, like slavery, has been
allowed to flourish ; whenever, as
in our own day, poverty, unemploy-
ment, peison abominations, offer
, flagrant violation of the religion of
the 'Nazarene. But never has this
question been uitged with such in-
sistence as to -day, when war 18
ravaging the world from eud to
end. Does not the inability of the
Chttrch to stay this conflict demon-
strate its failure ae an agent of hu-
man bette rM en t ? Is 11 no -evident
that Christianity has done nothing
ta destroy prejudice, soften enmity
or banish lust from the human
heart 1 Why net fraekly admit its
fall and turn tto other and more
promising 'means of establishing
justice and peace upon 'the earth 7
The usual answer to this question
is that nobody cen say whether or
not Christianity is a failure Since
18 Ilas Never Been Tried,
Thie answer is witlY, just to the' ex-
tent; that it is untrue Chrisbia,nity,
interpreted as the simple law of
love to God and 'map, has been

half-heartedly, but even so success-

Nor is it only in private life and
by separate indieicluale that Chris-
tianity has thus been tested. More
widely than. we realize it, has been
applied to social life, and nomer-
oils institutions, such as the fain-
ily and the 'school, have been
brought; -under its sway. Nowhere,
'of course, has the application heen
eomplete. Bub just to the extent
that the trial has 'been Maele the
result is in terms of happiness,'
prosperity and peace has been im-
mediate and perinanent.
If anywhere in the world there
are violence anel misery, it, is not
because Christianity has failed, but
oti the contrary because stune.thing
else, veisv different from' Christian-
ity, has failed.
