We have had a rest from war news during the weeks in which the King and-Queen visited this continent, for which we are truly thankful. Not that we are cold blooded or indifferént to the woes of humanity; but when news of a war can be turned on and off to suit newspaper space, one cannot help : suspecting that sensationalism for . profits. is the underlying cause of flaring head- lines. If one tenth of the attention' paid to war, murder, and scandal, could be turned with the same energy to constructive methods of national improvement, Canada would soon be the Jeading country of the world. >o« CROCODILE TEARS No .doubi- Ganadian "people are sorry to hear of those German-Jew exiles, who were floating But'we hear no loud shout of welcome to Canada, There is no need to throw stones at the Government for this inhospitality, Every business organization and association in the country is so busy protecting its interests that they have no time rior help for mere unfortunates.

Parade An impressive parade and divine service were held by Warriner Lidge, No, 76, L.O.O.F., on Sunday evening last, The parade, over one hundred strong, was headed by the Markham Citizéns' Band. E The service was held at the. Port Perry United Church, and the preach er-was Rev. Dr. R. T. Richards, of Napanee. His address was based up- on the text--"Who Shall Order the Battle? Thou" While this had or- iginally been a challenge to Ahab when threatened by the Syrians, the challenge still holds good, My. Rich: urds pointed to the great problems of the present day the struggle to rve- tain the principles of freedom, of de mocratic government, of _apportunity for all to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and those 'great prin- ciples of religion which have been the foundation of our Christian civilizn- tion. These problems, the speaker de- claved, must be met by all, They could not be neglected persomally, Their solution was not merely a matter of Government policy; but depended upon the daily living and sacrifice of all the cltizens--Who shall order the battle? --TIHOU. © There has been too great a tendency to-take democracy for granted. Every generation has to be taught its prin- ciples, hecause it is so casy to lose the blessings of freedom, which have been bought so dearly: The address. was much appreciated. An_outstanding feature-of the ser- vice was the singing of the "Halle- lujuh Chorus" by the Port Pervy This difficult, splendid musical selection from Handel's "Messial' was rendered with a volume and ac- curacy of time quite unexpected in so young an organization, with compara- tively short training.

Warden Fed Clayton also "spoke in the same vein, compli- menting the brethren upon the sue. cess of the evening's work. -- Rev. Dr, Richards and Rev. Mr. Smyth also spoke. A vote of thanks was tendered to helped to make the occasion a success, upon motion of Bros. Mansell~Girrow and W. M, Letcher. Ld yrtle-Station Owing to the Decoration service in Pine Grove cemetery, Prince Albert, on Sunday afteinoon, ithe attendance at the 3 pam. church service was rather small. But the lack in number of the congregation did not" mininiize the quality of the sc 'mon preached by the pastor, Rev. W. FE. Honey. He delivered a very fine message, using as his subject "Burdens".
