The Man On Watch Biting is not looked upon as fair in a fight any more than is the draw- Joma a knife. The man who chew- the finger off a fellow-farmer got Off easy when the judge fined him $30 and costs. For cutting a: man with a knife not nearly as badly, the Lampman has seen a man sent to prison by a Kingston court. Probab- ly the culprit in the $30 fine case had been reading Ralph Connor's "Man From Glengarry," in which is told the story of the French-Cana- dian riverman who was expert with his feet as well as his teeth in fights with the Glengarry Scotchmen. YEAR 81 -NO. 44 The lady from London, England, who distoursed here a week ago on the temperince question, informed her audience, the Lampman is told, that she saw a surprisitZ umount of drunkenness on the streets of Cana- dian cities, and deplored the faet that there were so many women fo be seen carrying bottles of liquor in baskeis. The Lampman «does not think the latter charge should be madé a score against Canada, for "'rush-the-can" is not a Canadian haoit, but was introduced years ago by those of merry England's surplus population that wossed the Atlantic | to find & new home on thig-side. hasn't it or for typhold fever when ! pleurisy is the ailment. Of course it is the women who (create soclal distinctions and cliques in churches and everywhere else. Those Angliean clerics who have preached about it this week have not enunciated anything new. Whoever, asks the Lampman, heard of a man --that is a real one--who could not hobndh with all classes of people, eat with them, drink with them, smoke with them, and make them feel that they were really humnn?

The town auditor keeps tab on everything day by day. This the modern system, as opposed to that of locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen.

This something the Lampman would like to know. He notices that the town council proposes to buy land outside the town limits for $24,000. Instead of purchasing out~ side the town, the Lampman would advise the council to pick up some better sites within the limits, of which there are a number. It seems strange to the Lampman that the minister of militia would not allow the firemen of Cobourg the use of the drill hall up there for a ball. Down here in Kingston, the drill hall is used for all kinds of af- fairs, from poultry shows to badmin- ton, a gentle game for ladies and very mild gentlemen. However, if the Kingston fire brigade was to ask for the use of the drill hall for a dance, Col. Sam would no doubt tell them that dancing was only for mili- tary people, who have so much spare time, and that they had better stay in their stations.and play dominoes | and checkers while waiting for fires, According to the report of the Kingston Medical society, the mem- bers were not unanimous on the question of fee-splitting and having their names kept out of print when they received a call along with the is | the first of Dr. Mackie | Among the survivors of those d The Stranger recognized John Me- Intyre, K. C., William G. Craig, the Ireland and the Minnes brothers, likewise the Niekle brothers, who {were then in knee breeches. But | the rest of the old kirk stock had dis- appeared as completely as mist does before. the morning sun. The Stranger romenibered that it was a Scotch © Presbyterian congregation jand lopked about for a company. of old worshippers with the mark-of-the land of the heather upon them, but as in other Kingston churches anoth- er congregation had arisen. In fact, they say that St. Andrew's is fast losing its purple complexion and turning green. A proof of this lies in the fact that it sent all the way to Ireland for a minister, who show- ed a very canny nature by hieing himself to Scotland to find a bride. If St. Andrew's keeps om, The Stranger sees a ritual adopted there Some day. It is doing very well with {its choral "Amen" responses. The | Stranger understands that St. An- drew's was the first church in King- ston to garb its choir, but it over- looked its sexton. On making in- iquiry, The Stranger was told that the reason the sexton was mot gown- ed was because he bore such a strik- ing resemblance to the predecessor jof the present minister, and it was deemed advisable to not gown or adorn him with the Geneva bands. In the eighties, Chalmers used to {claim that it had the most unique j sexton in the land, for he wore a | Prince Albert coat and had the grandest curls hanging down over { his ears.

"Who is the man that shall ascend RINGSTON, ONTARIO, SATUR AY, FEBRUARY 20, 1914 into the hill of God," was the open- ing psalm on that bright Sabbath morning, and it brought back mem- ories of old days in the kirk, for so long as the psalms of David in the old English version are syng one will know that Calvinism Is still active and. church union still"afar off, Principal Gandier's invocation threw about the congregation a sense of deep reverence. God re- verled in the sunshine, the snow and the cold was the thought. A feeling invoeution has a good deal to do with the impression a service makes upoa a congregation, and likewise has a good deal to do with the im- pression a minister makes. In this case, even the casual observer must have felt that the man in the pulpit had a message worth hearing. Personal service and self-sacrifice seems to be the topic-upon which the majority of the big preachers dwell nowadays. Dr. Gandier declared that there was never a time in the history of the world when men and women were more called upon to render personal service in the cause of Christianity than now, and the call for this personal service is re- sponded to everywhere. It is done right here before our eyes in humble homes, though we may not notice it. It was a pity that Si. Andrew's seized with the creze for a church auditorium of amphitheatre style over a quarter of a century ago and that it did not build along the architectural lines of the Church of Scotland. St. Andrew's managed through Dr. Mackie's efforts to ir 1 a pulpit of old design, but that is all that it has to commend itself to those who love to a Seotch church interior as well as exteri There must have been architectural designing when it was necessary to construct a box-shaped skylight in the centre of. the ceiling. St. Andrew's saved a rélic of old days in the golden figure of the dove which is pérched on top of the organ. It was a happy litile gathering that afterwards embled to greet the preacher, who left the pulpit and came down before the communion table to shake hands with old friends, among whom was one of his old college teachers, Rev. Prof. Fer- guson. see THE STRANGER.
