Salvation Army Self -
Denial Must Succeed
(Writiere• by Mis. Gen. Booth)
Our missionary work largely de-
pends upon money raised by the self-
denial effort. The General has been
obliged to cut down many grants to
distant lands where the prospect of
a harvest of souls is rich, or where
our resources have been laid out with
the utmost economy and care,, No
re-inforcements can be sent to any of
the missionary fields this year.
Training centres in India and Kor-
ea have had to be closed. This.defic-
iency of our funds is particularly to
be regretted because, for the first
time, we have ad a supply of officers
for these distant fields, many are
waiting for their marching orders,
inspired with the true missionary spir-
it and longing to take the message of
Salvation to heathen lands, Pressieg
invitations and appeals are reaching
us from all parts of the world to send
officers to bless and help the people.
From Europe urgent calls come from
Roumania, Esthonia, Setland, Bul-
garia, Jugo-Slavia, Hungary and Aus-
tria. •

BISHOP FALLON CONFIRMS.
On Saturday evening, Bishop Fal -
Ion, of London made his official visit
to St. james' Churolk for the purpose
of administering ,the sacrament of
confirmation. The church was filled
with the congregation present. There
were forty-nine candidates, twenty-
six boys and twenty-three girls. Mr,
and Mrs. G. A. Sills acted as spon-
sors. The bishop himself examined
the candidates on the Rosary and its
meaning, and on the divine mysteries
which elitited from the youthful class
ready answers, showing how careful-
ly they had been instructed for the
solemn rite they were about to re-
ceive, and several limes drew from
the bishop expressions of the pleas-
ure their answers gave him.
PIls Lordship also said he was gra-
tified to see a vast growth, temporal
as well as spiritual,. in St. James'
congregation due to the energy of
Father Goetz, assisted by a loyal
people.
CADET INSPECTION.
The annual inspection of the Col-
legiate cadets took place on the Col-
legiate grounds at 2 p.m. on Tuesday,
and the weather was ideal for the ocr
casion. A number of townspeople
and most of the young ladies of the
Collegiate Institute were on hand to
watch the boys march and wheel
about the field and go through other
drills under the command of their
officers.
Col. Gillespie inspected the corps,
and it was his first visit to Seaforth
since his appointment to the London
military district. He was pleased with
the work of the boys and compli-
mented the officers of the carps. He
said he hoped they would have new
hats when they went to. the cadet
camp that was M be hdld in London
during the first week in July.
After being dismissed the boys
marched down street to the Olympia
restaurant, where they enjoyed a
treat after their strenuous work.
Much credit is due the „officers rrt
the corps under Captain Adam Dodds
and to Principal O'Neill for the inter-
est they have taken in making the
corps a success, and to Mr. Chas.
Holmes, who has been instructor the,
past few weeks.
The officers of the corps fee'this
year are: Captain, Adam Dodds; first
lieut, Donald Kerslake; second lieut.,
John Archibald; sergeants,Fred

DOUBLE BEREAVEMENT
Word was received on Saturday of
the death at Cochrane of Elva Tamin
third daughter of Mr. John Muir:,
from typhoid fever. The death is
doubly sad as less than three weeks
ago the mother passed awaY from the
same epidemic. Besides the father,
two Sisters, Mrs. Wilson 'Wright of
Egrriondville, Miss Olive of Beattie's
Fair, two young brothers, Glenn and
Billy at home, and a married brother
in Detroit, are left to mourn their
loss. Deepest'sympathy is extended
to the family in their dpuble bereave-
ment. Interment took place at Coch-
ELVA IRU*.
The funeral of little Elva Kruse,
only daughter of Mr. Richard Kruse,
Egnsondville, took place. on Monday
from the home of her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. Siltery, Egmond-
ville, to place of interment -in Mait-
landbank cemetery. Little Elva, who
WAS klier ninth year, underwent a
very critical operation on Sunday,
April 15th, and it was hoped her life
would be saved but she failed to rally
and passed away on Saturday, April
21st, Her mother passed away in the
Fall of 1922. Deepest sympathy is
extended to the father and little bro.
ther and also to the grandparents
with whom Elva had made her home
since the death of her mother. Four
little girl schoolmates acted as pall-
bearers, the Mists Finnegan,Kruse,
McMillan and Nott The remainder of
the school children formed an aisle
through which the casket was car-
ried, The floral tributes were beauti-
ful. Rev. R. Fulton Irwin officiated.

Brother of a Seaforth Barrister
Cleverly Rebukes Toronto Daily,
The following incident will be read
with much interest, as Mr. George
S. Holreested, IC.C., .is a brother of
Mr. F. Holmested, K.C., of Seuforth,
On Wednesday, March 28th, 1923,
the folbawing verse appeared on the
editorial page. of The Toronto Daily
Star under the heading, "A Little of
Everything."
TO THE FIRST SPRING
FLOWERS,
Drear Winter's past and gone,
Earth's labor has begun.
The stream of life breaks forth
So bravely, in the north.
Een through ice and snow
Most tender flowerlets blow.
Look/ here's .the snowdrop sweet
Out, smiling at our feet,
Her modest garb of white
Robes her like bridal maid
Most gracefully arrayed.
Dear harbinger of Spring!
Earth hath no fairer thing.
Let each returning year
Leave me the menfry dear,
1 E'en though another's eyes
Before me found the prize
I first did sing thy praise
Like one who alt his days
Enchanted by her grace
Woos some fair maid.
LYDIA STRATHE.
'On Monday, April 2nd, The To-
ronto Telegram re -published the
verse, accompanied bY the following
explanation
"Delicate, isn't it, this verse which
breathes the perfume of the early
spring?
"But not half so delicate viewed as
a verse as it is when viewed as the
riposte returned by George S. Holme-
sted, K.C., for an offence committed
by The Toronto Daily Star.
"A few weeks ago Mr. Holmested
was superannuated from the post of
Senior Registrar of the High Court, a
post which he had filled to. the last
moment to the entire satisfaction of
the legal profession. He still carries
on the onerous duties of Registrar of
the Bankruptcy Court, as the adver-
tisements of the old Intercolonial
Railway used to say, With "safety,
speed and comfort." At the time when
the superannuation went into effect
newspapers asked Mr. Holmested for
his photograph for publication. Mr.
Holmested courteously declined 'tire
proffered publicity. For sufficient
reasons he did not desire that any
photograph should be used.- The
Daily Star, however, disregarding the
expressed wish, used a drawing which
it had made. The drawing did no
credit to Mr. Holmested's features..
"Now it happens that Mr. Hahne-
sted, besides being an efficient offic-
ial, rs also an efficient author. His
legal works are constantly cited in
the courts. His letters on ecclesias-
tical matters are read with interest
by Anglicans. And at times he has
tried his hand -at verse.
"When The Daily Star received in
the chilly days of last week a poem to
the first Spring. flowers, it showed
rare judgment 2n giving it a promi-
nent position on its editorial page, It
was so enraptured by the sentiment
that it did not scan the farm which
it took. It did not strike the editor-
ial mind that 'Lydia Strath,' the
name signed to the effusion would
become 'The Daily Star' when the
letters were transposed Nor did
they notice that the initial letters of
each line, read from the bottom up -
