Sutor, of the British army, wrote: a book im which he complained that army officers as a class did not take their work seriously, and that the army offered no career for a man who was in earnest about his profession. He was "unquestionably guilty of a the regulations, and was reprimanded by a court martial. But he expressed what the majority of the British people believe. The bravery of the average British officer has never been impugned, but - 50 long as a commissioned officership is a perquisite of the upper classes there will be a tendency to regard it as a berth, not a business, and its duties as chiefly social. .

TIETH YEAR IN PRIESTHOOD. and Handsomely Bound Hymn Book--Words of Deepest Affection and Esteem Accompany Them. To-day, October 14th, is the golden jubilee of Canon Grout's ministerial work, gnd the clergy of the city met, | to commemorate it. There was first | a celebration of the Holy Commun- ion in Si. George's cathedral, when Canon = Grout himself was celdwant, assisted by the Dean of Oumtario, and his son, Archdeacon Grout, of Delbi, N.Y. After service the clergy of the city amd district gathered in Canon Grout's office in the synod hall, and on their behall the Dean gave Canon Grout a very handsomely Lound copy of the new hymn book. The n of the valuable and devoted work the Canon had done in his fifty years in the priesthood, of the depth of affection felt for him amongst all the clergy and those whom he had ministered to and concluded, by saying that Ly wish of all was that the re maining years of his ministerial life would se Liessed as the past years have buen. / Canon Loucks, who was out after a somewhat serious illness spoke = very touchingly of his life-long friendship for Canon Grout, what the dean had said, assured him that he was far more esteemed and loved for his Lwdness and devotion than ever he dreamed. Archdeacon "Carey also said how pleased he was to be present and spoke of the igh example Canon Grout bad always set to his Lrother clergy in a life of unselfishness and devotion, and said he could do bbtter than advise the younzer clergy apresett to follow in his footsteps. Canon Grout, who was deeply touch- ed, said he would never forget the kindness of his fellow priests, and, though he felt he did not deserve it, still it would always be a great com- fort to him. But in whatever good he had been able to do he felt he must acknowledge that Mrs. Grout had had a large share. A very handsomely illustrated - ad- dress, from the canon's former parish- ioners in the parish of Elizabethtown was brought up by Mr. Stafford, of Lyn, and read, at his request, by the dean. It was filled with allusions to the love with which Canon Grout is sgarded in his oll parish and with erences to the lasting good he had wrought there, The altar in the cathedral was very beautifully decked with roses for the celebration and these were taken to Mrs. Grout, who has not been well for some weeks. All his friends can assure Canon Grout that the opportunity given them by his jubilee, of voicing their real af- fection for him, was eagerly seized. So retiring is he and so fain are he and Mrs. Grout to do good by stealth that it is never an easy matter to express even ordinary gratitude to them, but that many have been, and many are, grateful for just their kind- ly presence, is well-known to all but themnselv. es. La ET AW ALL YOUNG MEN INVITED ---- To Enjoy the Y.M.C.A. Privileges Free of Charge. Next week the entire Y.M.C.A. build- ing will be thrown open to every boy, voung and old, in the eity of Kings: ton, for one week. This is something that never has been done before in the history of the institution. The reason the directors give is that the boys who would like to join do not know what the membership ticket em- braces, and say they have no way of finding out except to give the insti- tution a week's trial. Notices will be posted in wll the industrial concerns of the city, announcing the week of trial, and it is expected that a large num- ber of boys will take advantage of the invitation to get acquainted with the workings of this institution. Those who are in charge realize that this will mean a lot of extra work, but they are hoping to add a la num- ber of names to the membership roll. Everything in the building will be ab- solutely free for one week--baths, read- ing-rooms, gymnasium, games, piano, in fact nothing will be withheld. Laurier Rests His Case. Montreal Herald.

He ig of Empire Loyal list desgent,cand was bors at Ganano- que, 'on 'January 26th, 1837. He was educated at the old Kingston gram- mar school, and then entered the Poly- technic Institute at Troy, N.Y., from which he graduated as civil engineer in 1857. His professional carver com- menced under the late Samuel Keefer, on the survey of the Grand Trunk railway. Later he took up resi- dence in New York joming the Union Bridge company, of which he became head. An an engindér he devoted him- sell chiefly to the desi and © con- struction of railway bridges, among the most important of which may be mentioned the bridge across the Hud- son river 'at Poughkeepsie, N:Y., and the Hawkesbury river bridge, New {South Wales, Australia. The total length of the former bridge is less than the Victoria atl other bridges in Europe and America, but it surpasses all others in that it spans the river from pier line to pier line, a distance of 3,110 feet, without intermediate sup- port, and in that the cost is estimated at $25,000,000. Mr, Macdonald's plan was adopted by the New York State Bridge Commission, after keen compe- tition, as promising to give both the strongest and cheapest structure of all the plans submitted. Mr. Macdon- ald's generosity to his native Gana- noque is well known. He was honored in 1804 by Queen's University, which conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. He will be a valuable acquisition to the Quebec bridge commission. Annessley Puitowas is = renovermzr from a, severe attack of hrondhial cold from which he has been a sufferer for the past year.

Drum, international Y.M. (A. secretary, of New York, held a conference with quite a number of voung men. Mr! Drum first gave a twenty minute talk, on the ttemend ous neod of Christian laymen in the grog work of defiite Christian sor vice. The opportunities were standing wile open all over this country, and not enough men to begin to fill the openings. The groat need 1s mom, lay men who will render more service than they have in the past, men who will ro into the service for what they can give out, not for what they ean get out of it, There are thousands of men to-day who claim they are Christians but they never do anything. What the church and the association needs more than anything else, is men who will really do some defimite work. The great purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association is an institutional work for the church. The association aml the church stand shoulder to shouhder, to accomplish one end, the bringimr of men into the kingdom, yet how little is accomplish ed owing to the lack of men, men who have a conviction decpi down in their hearts that Jesus Christ is able to keep a man who will give his life to Hine. Mr. Drum made a strong appeal for the men present to give some more definite service in the work of the church, and the association, and some twenty men expressed a willingness to do definite work, Mr. Druin is go very strong speaker, and well worth boii: a long way to héar. Fvery man in Kingston should make an effort to hear him in his famous address on "An Honest Man' in the Orpheum Theatre, on Sunday, at 4 p.m. harp. This meeting will be for men only, To-night Mr. Drum will hold a con ference with the rastors, Sunday school teachers and officers in Chal mers Preshvterian Sabbath school, on "The Relation of the Older Boy to the Sabbath School."
