I LENTEN NESSAGE > Present Generation Needs Self-Dis- cipline--Christian Can Never Have a License to. Sin. The first Lenten message of Bishop Farthing was read in all the Anglican churches throughout the diocese of Montredl, on Sunday. The message was as follows ; *"My Dear Brethren : Lent 'is a personal dome. It is a call to draw closer to God. To be like Christ is the aim of every Christian. To enable. us to he like Him, God has given us the Holy Ghost to dwell in us, that the Spirit ¢f (God may in- spire our thoughts, words and deeds. Through the Holy Spirit we are able to hold Communion with God; dnd by the proper use of the means of grace our spirits are strengthened day by day, and we become in character more like Christ. "Experience, however, teaches us that the world, the flesh and the devil are exercising such influence upon us, that our growth into the likeness of Christ js retarded, and sometimes als together hindered. The church, to meet this felt needy and to help us in the struggle against the forces of evil, has set aside the forty days of Lent, &s a time for special self-exam- ination, meditation, prayer and in- struction. The benefit which we will derive * will depend npon the use we make of our opportunities. "This is an age of rush, and we have little time for prayer and medi- tation. Yet if we are to become like Him, we: must find time. Our souls absolutely require this quiet, undis- tarbed time with God. This snould he a delight to us. In order to get it, | let every one give up all social en- gagements, get away from the distrac- tions of the ordinary amusements, and nse that time in private meditation, prayer, and devotional reading.

Never was there a genera- tion that needed self-discipline more. The self-indulgent cannot grow in spir- itual. power. All experience teaches that. So | would urge upon you a wise self-discipline, in order to break the power which habits have gained upon you. Examine yaurself = and where you find you are weak, seek grace to strengthen that weakness. Sin must be given up all - the time, the Christian. never can fave a license to sin. But in the self-disdiptine of life, to gain the mastery over self, in your separation from the rush of social life, give up the use of innocent things for the season, lest they should gain the upper hand. The efiects of self-indul- gence, even in things perfectly inno- cent (such as legitimate pleasure, eat- ing and drinking), may so grow upen us that they may mar the whole life. Be in earnest about it, and discipline your life now while you have oppor- tunity, "Attend al! the services of the church. Let nothing keep you from them. God may teach you much that will help "you in your battle of life, and give 'you strength to overcome. Try to understand the great tragedy of sin the light of Calvary's cross; try to understand and rejoice in the love of God, as seen in the incdrnate Son of God, who hung upon that cross, giving His lie for the life of the world. We follow a eruvified Lord, who sacrificed everything, even His life, to do the will of God. We have His Spirit and are to be like Him. We can only be like Him by whole- heartedly sacrificing our lives to do the will of God. May you all so use this ceason that you may have the joy snd the power of the resurrection life !""--Yours in Christ, JOHN MONT- REAL, THE LATE MRS. ROACH. She Passed Away in House Providence.

The checker tournament between Ca- taraqui and the Masters & Mates, was held, on Saturday night, andthe contests were very interesting, par- ticularly the one between Capt. Staley] and Major Leatherland, each winning one, with the gest draws. In the game between Cataraqui and the Mates, play was exceedingly close, but as some members of the Sailors' Club, through jealously, of course, stole the score card, the total net results could not be obtained. No doubt the two clubs will 'lock horns" again before spring, over this inter- esting and scientific game. Games and Montreal Ladies Won. Montreal Gazette.

Judge Martineau Gave Judgment in. a Montreal Court--The Cadet Was Not Under the Laws of Ontario, But of Quebec. Montreal, Feb. 23.--The Agnew-Gobor the courtd for some time, was de cided, to-day, hy Judge Martineau, who declared the marriage nll and void, Cadot A , a minor attend ing the Royal Military College, King- ston, married Miss Gober, who was consthegably his senior. Agoew's pa-' rents objected and annulment proceed. ings were instituted. William Agnew, the father, is & wellknown Montreal wholesale merchant. The judge held that young Agnew was not domiciled at Kingston, but was properly under the laws of this province. -- Further Particulats. Special to the Whig. Montreal, Feb, 93. An interesting decision was handed down in the suit for ammulment of the marriage of Cadet A. H. Agnew, of the Royal Military - College, Kingston, to Miss Gober, former principal of the Ladies' College, of that city. Judge Marti- neau held that Cade! Agnew, though in" attendance at the Kingston institu- tion, was, in reality, domiciled in Montreal, and, therefore, the marriage came under Quebec law. Under Quebec law a minor in order to be free to marry must obtain the consent of pa- rents or guardians before being legal- ly free to go through the caremony, and, therefore, according to Judge Martineau, Agnew being domiciled in Montreal and a minor, not having ob- tained his parents' consent, was not free to marry Miss Gober. The judge annulled the marriage. The judgment, it is stated, will be appealed to the privy council, . INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. Newsy Paragraphs Picked Up By Reporters On Their Rounds. We make buttons.

The. veteran, Thomas McAuley, dean of the Kingston booksellers and sta- tioners, has fallen a victim to the automobile, having purchased one this week. When interviewed, to-day, Mr. McAuley admitted that the report was true, and said his confreré, Mr. Ug- low, had just been in to offer him his congratulations for having the nerve, at his age, to enter the flying ma- chine field. Mr. McAuley stated that he was bound that Police Magistrate Farrell should also buy an automo- bile. "We're going to make him presi: dent of our club, 'so that when we run over people, he won't fine us," he re- marked, Confirnied In His Seat. On Tuesday morning, the adjourned case against Councillor Grant Grim- shaw, of Wolfe Island, was heard by Judge Price. An effort was made to unseat Mr. Grimshaw on the ground that he had a contract with the Wolfe Island council. At the first hearing, it was held, on behalf of the councillor, that he had been impro- perly served. At the adpurned hear- ing, the relator failed to show that Mr. Grimshaw was properly served, and, accordingly, the judge dismissed the case, confirming Mr. Grithshaw in his seat.
