strong enough to win by the sword

called upon to make clear its prin-
ciples to set over the darkness of
Modern Europe the light of Christ's

He spoke of the splendid respon-
se made by the Canadians to the
appeal for money for' Patriotic
purposes. "No more than we
ought,"he declared. ."But are; we
going to make a less enthusiastic
respone to the claims of the Master,
Jesus Christ? Shall the Church
go without'?"
He spoke of the criticisms/made
upon the chu_ ch. "It is not : per-,
feet," he admitted, "but the church
is the one institution which . has•.
kept alive through the gages the
knowledge of divine truth."
He urged upon the laity the nec-

of the Presbyterian Church, who
paid his first official visit to the
Huron Presbytery last Wednes-

Many, not only from Willis
church but also from neighboring
congregations, availed themselves
of the opportunity Wednesday
evening of last week of hearing ad-
dresses by Rev. Dr. Berridge, Mod-
erator of the General Assembly and
Rev. Dr. A.S. Grant, superintend-
ent of Home Missions. These gen-
tlemen, alluded to by one member
of the Presbytery, as the Premier
and Chancellov of the church, are
visiting the presbyteries of Ont-
ario, for the purpose of arousing
and stimulating interest in the
work of the church. During the
day they addressed the Presbytery,
and from all reports those address-
es gave an inspiration and stimulus
which will mark a new epoch in
the history of this Presbytery.
• At the evening service, Rev. F.
C. Harper conducted the opening
exercises and after extending a cor-
dial welcome from the congrega-
tion to the distinguished guests,
asked the Moderator of Presbytery,
Rev. G. E. Ross, to take charge of
the meeting. Mr. Ross introduced
Dr. Berridge who began by stat-
ing that the service was intended
to be a revival service. He said
that the call of the hour was one of
revival—"Forward 1" That was the
call of the Empire and of the
church.
He spoke at some length of the
present war. "What does it mean"?
There are no two standards of
ethics for pulpit and pew. The
duty of the church members is as
clear as that of the minister. The
preacher can't make the church
move= alone. There must; be en-
thus,iasm in the pew. All must he
ministers; servants of God, co-
workers together with Him. What
we need is the fire of divine love.
running through the church. In
the presence of Christ we feel that
ipdifference apathy and negleg-
ence are heathenish in character.
He pleaded against the cold re-
spectability of the church members,.
and the apathy towards the unfor-
tunate. "I often think," he said,
"that is there were fewer Pharisees
there would not be so many Pub-
licans." With exquisite, pathos
and simplicity he told the story of improvement as may recommend
Daniel Peggotty's search for Little itself to them, in order to furnish
Em'ly. The church, he said, has employment for the next six or
need of men of Daniel Peggotty's eight weeks to Clinton citizens
type for he was one of God's who are desirous of obtaining
aristocrats.
A revival of faith is needed as
much in the church as without. "In
the midst of the shadow of war,"
he said "there is no reason to be
discouraged. Because God lives,
right will triumph. If we learn
the uses of adversity our land will
be the better for this hour of trial.
We have not been publics minded.
We clamoured more for our rights
than for our responsibilities. We
must learn to be more simple and
more upright, we must not take
sides on petty questions but we
must unite as Canadians."
Wednesday
Second Canadian force of 22,000
is to be organized at once.
A German report states that
more Generals have been super-
seded.
Germans lay mines in Brussels
streets.
French hold country to the Rhine
and the Tricolor now floats in Al-
sace after long exile.
It is expected that the Turkish
warships will be on the Black Sea.
The French will mine the Ad-
riatic Sea.
The French Government will re-
turn to Paris by Thursday.
Desperate fighting is still indec-
esive north of the Oise River,
