A pag- eant representing Sin, Substitution and Salvation, was brought out in a 'beautiful manner, while much ap- band interspersed the pro- gram. The guards, in their de- monstration of "God's Garden," used two girls who represented the humble bee gathering its stock of honey. This was done well and the work was a credit to the guard leader, Mrs, Langtield. for the evening was taken by Rev. D. B. Langford, of Port Whithy. The program was as follows: Opening song; Prayer; 'introduc- tion song, T.H.Q. Girls; march, se- lected, Oshawa Y.P. Band; Bible Y.P.8.

W. Beatty, K.C., President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A few years after Dominion Land Surveyors began | thelr work in western Canada, | that portion of the country began to be really opened up by the Canadian Pacific Rallway ang it is fitting that the official luncheon | should be addressed by Mr, Beatty, Half a century ago Dominion Land Surveyors began the work of subdividing the fertile lands of | the western prairies of Canada, and that work has been continued until the present. In the meantime many other activities have engaged their attention, Among these per- | haps the most important are the | making of geodetic surveys, which | furnish accurate control for the | surveys required for mapping, en- | gineering, and other purposes, throughout the country, and in the execution of a Topographic Map of Canada on a national basis. | The convention was also ad- dressed by Professor L.

And there will remain some legal disparities even if, as is pr me | able, next year's Imperial Confer- ence agrees upon such points as that | | Dominion legislation shall have ex- | traterritorial validity and that the final appeal court of the Empire shall { no longer be entirely British, The real question is what equality im- | plies. It means, as the 1926 report u Ked, equality of status, not necessar- | ily equality of function, The members of the British Com- | | monwealth, continues the Guardian, are more likely to be prosperous | than if they were independent; they | avoid the temptation and expense of | separate armaments; they are more | likely to be at peace with one an- other and to help to keep the peace of the rest of the world at Geneva because they are not self-regarding | units, hampered by a legal sover- elgnty. "There is no humbug in this. | It is a matter of observable fact | which those Indian nationalists who | now demand complete independence only fail to realise because they have learned their politics in a school | which can only think in terms of ruler and ruled, of black and white, of sovereignty on the one side and dependence on the other," says the Guardian. The work of "this year's Imperial Conference is to take stock of the latest developments of this new and | growing organization, to remove sucn inequalities as are a genuine source of grievance, and to lay the founda. tion for a closer unity of policy by further developing the Imperial Conference as a policy-making body for the common affairs of the whole Commonwealth, | HERE'S A PIECE OF UNUSUAL NEWS Washington, Feb, 6--Twelve in- ches of snow blanketed the ground and a stinging wind 'was blowing, when Mrs. Andrew Madden demand- ed $50 for. her husband's non-fulfil- ment of a wager.
