Less than & hitndred years ago the Indians up around the Arctie Circle were killing each other for food. We have occasional glimpses of this eere- mony to-day on the films of the mov- ing pietur.. machines. The weird, un- gainly dmi=s. the more weird noises, the war Wh.ops and gaudy orha- ments. Then the sombre feasts Margaret Bell in Toronto Globe, Into this seene of barbarism came 2 young man of stmple 'habits and kindly disposition. Father Duncan they learned to call him. Father Dun- can had great faith in an all-pervad- ing Omuipotence, and went about showing that faith. He learned to speak their tongue, he watched them at their bow and arrow practice. And soon they ceased to kill their fellows and roast them over the camp fires, Father Duncan was becoming es He lived In a small log hut, and tilled a bit of land at the back of i, And the great, hulking / fellows would come gllently along, and watch: the white-faced man working under the Arctic skies. Small wonder that they learned to look upon him as a sort of god. His principles were not warlike, be was Just in all his dealings, as the grea god of all the Indians was supposed to be. And soon they began to forget any gad but the one he represented. And . they thrived, under the new dispensa } tion, their equaws gave them new In- i dians, and their workings in leather found a market ih the country to the | south of them. They even worshipped in the hut | of Father Duncan, who haa no creed but the creed of homesty and con selentious' work. But he was not popular with the authorities of the orthodox .Church, | They did not agree with his practical views on religion. Their religion had la creed, a theory, which placed thei ! Deity on high and | from afar. And so they banded together and decided that Father Duncan must leave. He was not of their faith and he was influencing the Indian to believe in his faith. True, thes had never gucceeded in changing the faith of the Indians, but they wer: determined that no one else should The good Father heard of the bick erings and felt\the spirit of unrest which swept over the people. So he moved away from his little hut anc bit of land, away across the boundar: into British Columbia. At Metlacatla he established what is known to-day 4s The s1oly City It stands on the seashore, Just across from Prince Rupe °, the westefh ter minus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Hig followers went with him to the new country and prepared to estab- lish for themselves a new home more comfortable than they had ever known. | They built a pretty little church, ! built it with their own hard, brown hands. They cut down th fragrant cedar trees, trimmed them, and built thelr church from the native wood jThe.e was a great celebration when it was finished, and never was white } man prouder of any achievement-than | these unceuth red men of their first | church. i The Metlacatla Indians became { known for their industry, and their painstaking earnestness in furthering their industries. And more: the tribes who used to live on each other be- came the least warlike. But ill-luck seemed to shadow the kind Father. The beautiful church, of which he was so proud, was burned to the ground through jealousy. For there were constant bickerings amongst' the white-faced people, Bickerings as to the religion estab- lished by this stranger; bickerings about the industry he had establish- ed among the Indians. The good PHther was blind and deaf to the bick..ings for awhile. He rebuilt his church and went qulet- ly about his work. At last, however, he became tired of the controversies of opinion. He longed for a quiet spot where he could live as he wished. So be decided to leave the Holy City he had established. He went back to establish his religion and home in the Alaska which had driven him out before. Of the twelve hundred fol- lowers he had in Metlacatla, over eight hundred went with him. But they left many reminders. Wonderful carvings cut in great ce- dar trees. These are the family to- tems. They took large trees, any- where from ten to fifty feet high, and carved upon them grotésque birds, bears, fishes, and animals of all 'sorts. Each carved figure represented some- thfhg--part of their faith in ndvere, or a tribute to their deity. The white man cannot appreciate the totems of the Indians. The most remarkable one stands on the seashore, where a neglected road now leads up from the landing to the village of Metlacatla. This is made of granite. One might call it a monument. It represents a mother holding her child in her lap. Rising from the head of the figure like a high hat, the monument extends some six feet, terminating in a square top, six or eight inches in diameter. At the bottom is inscribed some strange epitaph, no one knows what. But the Indians know the meaning of it. They say that the monument was 'rected in memory of a white woman who dwelt amongst them, and died in their midst. Métlacatla to-day is a lonely &pot.

Whenever | hear people grum- bling about the desperate wicked- ness of human nature I wish that they could take my. place and act as chaplain to a large hospital for just one week. They would know better by the end of that time, says a writ- er in a London paper. It is possible that they might also be feeling in need of a rest: In such 4 positian as mine, one is on duty practically all the time, and it is something of an evant to get through a night undisturbed, Some pegple seem to think that the chaplain's duties begin and end with holding the services and attend- ing to the dying. That 'is quite a mistake. It is my business to te, as far as I can, on friendly terms with all the inmates of the hospital For one thing, we parsons are out to be, as .our Master said, "Fishers of men." That is our business--to catch men in our net, and bring them to the service of God. Few of us have better opportunities for do ing this than we hospitals, -and naturally we do our best We don't go round the trying to cram down belief in the beef-tea and religion . in the rice pudding, but we do try to make the men and women whom we come to know remember the old lessons which they learnt as little children. But if we try to teach, we also learn. I have learnt more of the power of faith, of the wonder of hope, and of the beauty of charity In a year in this' hospital than 1 should have learnt in five years out- side of it. There was an old lady who was, I am proud to think, a great friend of mine. She came to the hospital, not to be cured, but to die. It was the end of a life of misery, brought about by the ill-treatment of her husband. But every time I had a chat with her it came round to him Boomer or later, and she would tell me what a fine man he was, and beg me to pray for him. And the patience of these suffer- ers! I knew a man--a man of good education, who had fallen low--who suffered almost incredible pain. But he was always smiling, and he had his own way of explaining his suf- fering. "It's the Lord's scrubbing brush," he would say to me. "It is His way of cleaning my dirty soul, and I am glad to be made clean." At times, needless to say, I get some queer jobs thrust upon me. Many of the people who come into 8 hospital object to the good, but plain, food which is provided. Many a time I have been implored to use my influence to get a patient a hearty meal of fish and chips! The grumblers--and you find grumblers in every hospital, just as surely as you find saints in every ward--seem to regard the parson as the official receiver of complaints. If they have anything to say, they say it to me, and it requires quite a lot of tact to deal with them. But one does one's best, and one ir learning all the time. The rough- est old bundle of grievances has a heart, and all you bave to do is to find your way into it. To do that may take time, but I have learnt never to despair, and never to give up hope. ek Take them all round; and people are better than they seem. I am certain that at the bottom of human nsture there is good. . ------4 The Teak in the pocket of the prodigal is waually found at the top.

Whooping Cough Many parents think Mghtly of whooping cough, and treat it as a necessary evil, not giving the child who has it any special aitention. The seriousness of whooping cough was emphasized by the Medical Health Officer tn Toronto a few moriths ago, when he reported 14 deaths during the month from whooping cough and only ten from searlet fever, typhoid fever and meas sles combined. So many people write to us about the relief and cure of whooping cough by the use of Dr. Chase's Sy- rup of Linseed and Turpentine that We can recommend it with the great- ast confidence. It loosens the cough. aids expec- toration, and hy its soothing influ ence prevents tho terrible paroxysms of coughing which are so distressing '0 witness, and which wear away the strength of the ¢hild. By using this treatment the disease is held In check, and cured in a few weeks, in- stead of months. Look for the por- 'rait and signature of A. W.
