'This was the chaplain's text, and his ser- mon was eloquent, vivialy pictur- esque and fervently patriotic. The words of "the text, he said, were the heartburst of a true patriot, far from the land of his birth. His heart went back whether 'his feet could not go, and his soul winged it- self back where the body could not pass, to-thd dear old home, to the holy city and the priceless blessings of a national faith. The love of coun- try, the preacher said, was ag natural as the love of mother. Both are im- planted by God in thé human breast. Patriotism the breath of God in man's soul. In a man this may be the only vestige of religion, and a man not sunk low who loves his country with a true love, for in that there is piety No land i 18 is there, declared the chap- lain, where love of country is so manifested as in Scotland. The French are noted for politeness; the Spaniards for arrogant pride; the Portuguese for hateful treachery; 'the tussians for high ambition, and the Turks = for sloth and sensuality--but patriotism is the pre-eminent nation- ul characteristic of the Scotch. And 1S 1t not the voice of the Scottish heart that is in the text ? Mr. Mackie dealt with the causes of Scottish patriotism which he attribu- ted to thé smallness of the country, its beauty and its sacredness, for it was a holy land, erimsoned with the blood of its best, shed for civil and religious liberty. Abroad, the St. An- drew's and Sons of Scotiand societins fostered this patriotism among those far from the heathery land of their birth. As to the question oft raised why the Scotch did not remain in their, own lana, the ghaplain pointed out how marked was the Scottish in- fluence for good all over - the world. Wherever the Scotchman went, he was true to his adopted country; and did not bresthe conspiracy or act as a leech. Canadian history proved this and shopved - Seotehmen in this land, by God's: guidance, to be the wisest of rulers, the ablest of educa- tionists; and evervwhere trusted. In conelusion, Mr. Mackie as ed his hearers to remember the great deeds and 'sacrifices oftheir fathers, to re- member their birthright of individual liberty, and to let the vision of the homeland be ever before {he eye of the soul. : After the service, the Scottish so- cieties met and passed a vote of thanks to - the chaplain for his able sermon, to the quire and to the church authorities, Banquet And Greeting.

In the afternoon a large rally was held in the City Hall, which was filled to the door with women and cinldren. On the platform were the members of .the children's chorus. which sane, tem- perance songs very heartily and clev- erly. John Mcintyre, hh... presiaed, and in g concise address explained the provisions cof the liquor act. Rev. Thomas Brown, B.D., a very earnest and a very ready speaker, expatiated on the emotional side of the question at issue. He declared that the prohi- bitionists had the boys and girls on their side. Rev. John Boyd, secretary of the local prohibition committee, appealed to the women and children present to go home and persuade the voters there to vote for prohibition on Thursday and to vote early. The last speaker was Abraham Shaw,. who cail- ed upon each lover of his country to wipe out the liquor traffic. Simultaneously an overflow meefing was held in Ontario = hall. There the Salvation Army Band contributed ap- propriate music. The audience, which about half filled the hall, included only a few women. Rev. John Boyd was the first speaker. Rev. Alexander Laird spoke of the evil effects of the traffic, and Robert Meck emphasized many reasgns why prohibition should be carried. ha The Evening Rally. In the evening 4 temperance rally was held in Sydenham street Metho- dist church, where Rev, Dr. Philp pre sided. The edifice was well filled. The preliminary exercises possessed con- siderable longevity, so that it was eight o'clock hefore J. R. Black, the first speaker, 'was introduced. In in- troducing him the pastor entered a protest "in the name of the now sainted Principal Grant" against the statement that he in any wa) wished to bolster up the liquor trade: on the contrary, he hurled all his pow er against the present license system. Mr. Black spoke of the benefits of the campaign, which was partly a political and partly a social campaign. The people, he held, might have to pay more taxes if prohibition was carried, but 'thew would he mde' abl. to do it. For the sake of their chil ren. many men would vote for the liquor act of 1902. Alderman Francis King becan ky aying that a lawver was not accus- tomed to church surroundings, and straightway began to make excuses for his appearance. His address, how ever, was a good one. He declared hat many bishops, clergy and lay men of his church--the Church of Eng land--joined with the Methodists and 'reshyterians in this campaign. He had firm faith in the righteousness of the cause.. The law, if passed, woul not prohibit the consumption of li jor in private: home. He cau tioned 'prohibitioni-ts to watch - the liquor men on polling day, declaring that they would need it. John Melntyre, K.C., foliowed with a bright address. He asked that pro hiiition bie given uy chance, promising one's that if it. did. net prove successful je would vote for its repeal. He 1epu iated Mr, Mudir's "statement that 'Preshyterianism crippled the intellect und that Methodism submerged the intellect." : Ho A.
