The Toronto World in a leading edit- orial deals with the subject4'Unnecessary Universities" in an article which we thoroughly endorse as being a most ücoa- mon sense view of the situation. It says: "Churches erigaged in UJniversity work are -wasting energy ani înoney that oughit to find their way into preacli- ing the Gospel of Christ. What calhas a church to teach mathematies, langu- ages, science, when this work is botter done by the state?, Trinity Ujniversity, under the English church has reached a point where it mnst be enlarged at great expense or allowed to vegetate. That money would bc ten times as effective if it were put into training preachers in theology and preaching alone, in making btter stipends for its ministers, in con- centrating its eff orts ini the missionarv fid. It snggest s the sale of the build- ing, and the erection of a divinity hall 'with a residence attached for ail Angli- cans attending the provincial Universi- ty. Queen's at Kingston is in a similar position. Let ns get over this denom- inational pride, this local ambition, this personal desire of high perching, lt ns conicentrate what wvo have whero it will, do the most good, One University in each province is suffcient-MecGill in Montreal, Lavai in Quebec, one for the three Maritime provinces, and one in Toronto is ail wo want and can affordiand these are coin- petent to tnr!n ont ail the nniversity meni:we want for 100 years to corne. We wvnnt fewer not more universities, Let univorsity men take np anew the question of consolidation. Mach good was accomplishied when Victoria was confedlerated and the Methodist Church is, as a consequenco, in a ten times bet- ter position to-day. Her million dollar fnnd is under way and wiJI be raised; and none of il will be perverted by teaching Greek root and chomical coin- binations. We are Canadian enough to look at the universitv question fromn a pnrely national standpoint; the universities that we think unnecessary are main- tained on mnerely denominational or local lines. We would like to sec our universitios, or university rather, play a part in the national life of our people. As thîngs now are that wil nover be the case. Can you for the life of you see how there eau be more than one national university in this country? TUE fliSClIPLE "eJUBILEE" CON- Y ENTIO. and more -productive of far-reaching resits. The great communion service -was a particularlY impre3sive occasion. Dr. Clark, te President of the Christian Endeavor Socety, -who had aiready ad- dressed the Convention, pronounced il te largest communion service hie had ever attended. The reports read at the meetings of the Convention show coin.. meudable gains from ail quarlers and in ail departmenbs of the Churcit. The Disciples have uoarly twelve hundred thousand communicants; the numbor cf their churches is over ton thousand. The value of their churcit proporty ex- ceods eighteen million dollars.- The gains i numbor of communicants ln- dicate Ihat the number of Disciples is growîng twico as fast as is the popula- lion of the country. The missionary sociebios have made the most perceptible gains of any part of Disciple work. Il is lu this regard taI the Convention bas ils jubiiee name.

The Onbario tour undertaken by Sir Wilffrid Laurier and several off bis col- leagues bas been conciuded, and friends off the Goverument have every cause 10 be well satisfied with lte outcomo. Wherever te Premier bas appeared hie bas been received witb extravagant ac- claims off confidence and endorsabion; the franit and fearless manner ii) wliich he bas on overy occasion met then crîti- cisiin and attacks off his opponients, the lucid anîd thorough explanabions wbicb lie lias giveii offthe course off the Ad- niiiiitratien have won the admiration off bis supporters aîîd the respect of his opponents. It bas beon particularly noticeable trougitout the tr-ip, that not one word of barsh criticisin or coutume- ly bas been uttered ag-aiî±st bis oppen- ents. True, lte, uîreasonabieness off -match offtiteir cribicism bas been sitewn, and te inaccuracy of many a plalforin stabement pointed .otnt, but there bas been a noticeable laclezoff ever titing approacbing persoîmalitios.

It is a poliei as well as a patriotie course to pursue, for while somne may hoc augitt by continuons dis- plays off mendacions oratorical pyrotec- hniies, te intelligenît elector is only dis- gusted titereat.

Does anvone imagine for a moment tat Sir Charles Tupper hiniseîf believes one word of titis, or. that ho expecîs in- telligent Canadians to believe il? Off course not, but ho does know btat tlousands off electors eau always be found ready 10 accept lteir political opinions ready-made, without taking te lime or the trouble to look mbt mat- bers closely for Itemselves. 1He knows also ltaIitere is muci tbrutin, lte ad- age taI mud will stick, if vou only bhrow enougi off if; but he should also remember ltaI il generally sticks clos- or le the assaîlant titan il doe os te assailed.
