The song is quickly taken up by the entire gathering, apd the hearts of the generous "osts are 'touched by the spon- taheity of the tribute.

A' colored delegate Chatham appears on.the platform, nd when a wag introduces him as "the dark horse" a ripple of laugh- ter is heard. 'ot is given to the convention by Senator Gideon Robertson, -who reads the names in alphabetical or- ler. Applause breaks out and some cheers. It is evident Bennett will win. There is speculation concerning what the Quebec delegates will do mn the ballot. Will 4hey switch to Drayton or Manion, or will they with Cahan? The answer will not be tnown for forty minutes They proceed to mark the second "allot, and George Spotton, victor in 'he recent North Huron by-election, 's brought to the platform to tell the audience how it was done.

He peaks in ordinary tones, but his very word is winged to the utter- nost corners of the vast auditorium Yy the amplifiers and to the thou- ands of Prairie fans on the radio. The Senator abandons the alpha- Yetical order this time, giving the 'owest figure first and finishing with he vote for Bennett as a climax. "Mr. Bennett has received two votes more than all other combined nd is therefore elected," he quietly nnounces.

They are overwhelm- ' ing. In this new democracy, I think, we too often treat our public men ill. We think the way of a politician is a simple thing, and there is noth- ing that he should not do, and we make criticisms of pullic men some- times wholly unwarranted. But if democracy is to be a real thing, if it is to represent the will of the pepole as it should, if it is not to be sup-' {planted--supplanted by the. form of government that now exists in Italy --if the challenge of Italy to the jabroad 'in Flanders.

He dwelt lovingly on the things made Talbot House a distinctive place. The sign, just inside the door, which under a pointing hand, said: '"Pessimists: This way out!" The legend over a room on the sec- ond floor which bade newcomers "Abandon rank all ye who enter here", Then, another flight up, there was the Upper Room 'where a Belgian carpenter's bench served as an Altar. That Altar is preserved today, richly fronted, by a memorial forever of Him who was a Carpen- ter's Son,' and of those men who met in front of it for other Last Suppers before taking the way which ended for so many in the forest of wooden crosses. . Then came peace and the birth of regret that out of the furnace of the world's most dreadful war men had not saved that shining ore of trench comradeship which had made the greatest of horrors bear- able, the greatest of miseries en- durable, ' Rev. P., B.: ("Tubby") Clayton, the presiding genius of Talbot House, was one who did more than regret. A London 'Talbot House' was established, and the movement The Padre declared that the movement is concerned very largely with/young men; that it is desperate- ly keen on drawing all classes and races together; and that its chief service is in inspiring its. members with the idea of getting on with the job, which in Canada is making the mo#t of this great land's poten- tialities both for greatness and good- ness, As. : Spiritual Basis. Underlying all is a very real spir- itual basis. Not the kind that 'asks if you belong to a church or if you are saved" but that, gives a sense of reality to those thousands --many who are "the very salt of the earth"--who have no heart for formal creeds. "We are not ashamed to say that Toc. H. is a Christian Society,' the speaker declared, "but it is not connected with any church, It doesn't ask any questions of a man, it asks no question of men who have been knocked sidewise by the war and who want to think things out. There is no pressure. Its method of spreading the gospel is by acting it," ' Moreover, he continued, it puts no tickets on men, and he told the story of Dickebush , Lake, which some general in the war regarded with a baleful eye when spring was JAEGER BABY BLANKETS. sssssesssnnstnnies Sess essstateseeas Seasssesesssrsteg esters rrrarstanttan lL JAEGER BOOTEES and SHOES. 0 J ST A STEP FRO ---- ws eg ------ RESERVATIONS are now being taken for . building lots in FAIRVIEW PARK on Ritson Road North GENERAL MOTORS _ A Prior to the opening of the formal sale of Fairview Park No. 2 we are prepared to accept reservations for lots on Ritson Road and other streets in this property.
