A pastoral from the Primate of the
Church of England in Canada, Asch -
bishop Matheson, was snread last Sun-
day in ell the Anglican n churches of
the Dominion, It calls attention to
the formation of a League of Nations
carried Society unanimously uslada and
bytbotresolution
sHous s
to the. General Synod, to further the
underlying principles of the,League
and the formation of branches of the
Society. But the following sentence
from the Pastoral will indicate the
Primate's feelings on the subject, "A
whole year," he writes, "has passed
and nothing, so far as I know, has
been done, officially and. systematic-
ally, to carry out either the spirit or
the behest of the Synod." Hence the.
message to the churches which con-
cludes with the suggestion -One o
the most practical methods of support-
,ing the Society in Canada, will be by
the: securing, of Corporate Members.
the old city of Sheffield has cer-
tainly been stirred. Evangelist Gipsy
Smith has conducted one of the great
meetings of" his career, where at least
2,500 seekers after a new life passed
into the inquiry.room, The campaign
had its centre in Victoria Hall, which

gathering was also crowded with
vout people, the main subject under
discussion being --The Eternal Gospel.
Many stories are being repeated
which keep up the interest in the per-
sonality of Father Bernard Vaughan,
whose recent death, the whole church
regrets. • It is well -remembered how
his preaching held the public ear for
almost a generation when he attacked
sin in high places., But this reference
to his fiery oratory. proves that Pope
Leo XIII had not failed in his appree-
iation. "He was born" said His Holi-
ness, "on Vesuvius and sent to .Eng -

There is a pathetic note also in the
references to this notable man, As
he i$' in his 84th year it is feared that
he may not be spared to see the day
he so earnestly longs for.
Brief personal mention, Rev. J; H.
Jowett; D. D., has received from the
King the distinction known as Com-
panion of Honour. The well-known
writer, Mr. Hall. Caine, was also an
the list. Rev, G. A, StuddereeK:eri-

Professor Falconer, Pine
Hill Pres-
byterian College, Halifax, addressed
the Y. M. C. A;, of that city on the
Religious Outlook. His study and re-
sidence
in Europe for the pastYear
have given him a standing where his
observations are valuable. "Instead
of science now being. an enemy of .re-
ligion he declared that it was the as-
sistant." Internationalism -was` his sec-
ond point. Referring, to the fear of.
another, he stated with satisfaction
that the ` League of Nations had at
least accomplished -one good result.
"Nations henceforth will wait before
declaring war to determine the issue."
Finally the professor diagnosed the
universal disease of discontent to .be
due to the fact that nine -tenths of the
people are suppressing their "religion.
and refusing to confess their sins."

to GreatBritain. "The climate there,'
he affirmed, "has developed a serious
people, who are sombre and hard to
know. : 'Even in a Pullman smoker
over there ,you hear very little." Then
he corrects ;the 'notion that "this is due
to a stubborn pride. On the contrafy
'because they .are an old nation with a
history, they are not an exuberant
people but deal in certainties." By
way of contrast he pointed out the
Iiveliness, love :of parade and abandon
of Americans. "We have" he con-
cludes, "lived lit a tang of wild free-

Roman Catholic writers are giving
space to the memorable address by
Lord Halifax delivered at one of the
Anglo -Catholic Congresses hi England
where he hoped for'the day when r e-
presentatives of a united Christendom
would gather itt St, Peters, Ztonte, in
order to offer with one heart and
soul the holy, the immortal and all -
prevailing sacrifice by the hands of
Pius NI in thanksgiving to the Father
of all for giving to :His children the
blessings of peace." They take this to
be "a notable landmark in the pro-
gress of the advanced Anglican High
Church movement, being the recogni-
tion by one of its leaders of the Rom-
an claim to a Visible;uentre and Head
of the Catholic Church." The said
writers, lcowiver,, hesitate to take too
rosy views of immediate re -onion,
quoting as ,they do His Lordship's
reference to bis own: church: as fol-
lows. "I would nether die he eon-
fessed, "than cast a doubt on the Sac-
rarneitts of the Chive', of foieglatid."

The Warden drew attention to The
fact that $63,000 had been paid on e
debenture debt of the county, $24,000
of which had been paid ahead, that is
before the debentures actually came
due. Though he did not exactly ex-
press himself one was led to believe
that the Warden did not consider this
plan a very good one. He asked that
the council give some attention to the
subject.
"Last June," pointed out Warden
Trewartha, "a committee was :appoint
ed to look into the matter of an office
for the Police Magistrate, which com-
mittee would report at this session.
The Magistrate has ; asked for more
room and in this Court Rouse," re-
marked the Warden.

The Clerk had made the suggestion
of which the Warden approved, to the
effect that during the early part of the
session` the .council should give some
time •to a discussion regarding the
County Institutions. "We hear very
little of the reyenues, expenditures,
etc., about the House of Refuge, Jail
or our Children's Shelter except
through committee reports: Why not
give this subject some' attention,"
concluded the Warden, "so that we
may report in an intelligent manner
to the ratepayers next election day?"
