Ltd., Montreal, effirmed that the future of world civilization lies in adhering to the tenets of the Christian feith and in comment- ing upon the struggle in recent history he said it is flot the first tixne in histony that paganism bas thrown tbe gauntlet to the Chris- tian faith and neyer bas it been victorious. Too few addresses have been heard of late expressing leader- ship of this kind which gets right down to fundamentais in an en- deavon to inspire a public con- sciousness in this grave period.j Impressed with its high -impont-j ence, The Statesman presen- some of the bighights as s( forth by Mn.

If we have a weakness it is .to defer too much to the state, ,e and to expect too much from the )state, and forget the responsibil- P. ity which rests on individuals and social orgenizations for the crea- tion of a new world. a Change and expeniment are ,e likely to be the order of the day ,e for some time to come and whe- ther we wish it or disike it we are elreedy in the midst of it. The ~only question is whetber change d shahl be automatic and therefore k cbaotic or whether it shaîl be con- 1- trolled by our wîis to definite ir purposes. The danger is thet perheps un- y~ der the stress of the sense of no- e velty and with the experimental turge strong upon us we shahl ýviolate the established sanctities t of our national and domestic life. ri Day of Reformer Here - The day of the reformer is h ere, but it may elso be the day of the crank and the visionary. New feiths, new isms, new panaceas wiil be bawked in the market place and while their presence, however extravagant, may not do us too much herm, yet we must keep our balance. We must be true to oun ancient loyalties and practîce those virtues of Scotland, thrift, inclustry and plain living. We will be sorely tempted by those who beieve they have so- vereign remedies for the salve- tion of the world.
