Th grounds the former o did not give.due mnotice;that its re- port was to be presented to the society and consequently this report was adopted at a very poorly ro- presented meeting. He contended that these regulations were an in- _ fringment on the rights of the stud- i ents as a self-governing incorpora- F ted body and that this would be a test of. the student-body"s power, to protesting the rules and regulations of social functions. In defence of the regulations a for- mer member of the committee sta- ted that Queen's had still greater freedom in this respect than the other Canadian universities and that in view of the fact that the Senate desired a twelve o'clock closing for all functions the committee had ae- complished a great deal in securing later hours for faculty dances. The reason for this early closing, by the senate is the complaint that the late hours effect the student's work at college. The idea of who is to govern the _studeni-body, which is probably the | .orima cause of the recent contro- _versies, was strongly critized when "a member urged that this motion i} should pe set aside in such cases and both the arms of the senate should § work for the common good of the 8 the genuine "in. w are one The "near" solid have HAVE THE Putting on one of the.

The general feeling, however, was that the regulations in respect to the hours should be reconsidered and a i motion was passed that a letter be {sent to the senate stating that the i Alma Mater was in favor of hold- ing dances until two o'clock. The idea of the letter was that the senti- ment of the senate as a whole was different from their committee but a committee was also nominated to again take the matter up with the gonate. The committee consisted of Messrs. O'Meara, Kennedy and Put- man. At the anpual meeting of the Dra- matic Club the secretary, G. Clarke, brought in his report. The season has been: successful. Regrot was ex- pressed that other faculties' besides arts did not interest themselves in the club and that 'Grant hall was not suitable to produce the plays. There been three plays written by stu- dents for the contest, but no' decision had been rea as to the winner. The officers for next. year are : Honor ary president, Prof. W. L. Grant; esident, Mr. Irwin; vice-president, Miss Cdley; secretary, , Mr. Farley; treasurer, Mr. Bennie; assistant trea surer, Mr. McGregor; committee, 'Misses Reynolds, Gilhooley,' Messrs. 'O'Meara and Stitt. The Basketball Club lield its annu- al meeting Saturday night. The se- eretary peported a very unsatisfactory season, owing to the lack of good ma- terial. No games were won in the In- tercollegiate series. The proposed trip through the state during the Christ. mas holidays was not held on account of arrangéments not being satisfoc- tory. Officers for next yoan are : Hon- orary president, Douglas Ellis; presi- dent, James Bews; secretary-treasurer, G. Kiell; committee, Messrs. Hill, Nicholson and Reid.

The effect of doubt is seen in the story of Luke, where the man brings his son to Jens to be healed when the disciples « through their lack of faith were un Christ Himself performs. In the Beal from Shith ihe Suit is taken the spirit oubt is also expressed. Before writing this pasim the psalm- ist. had felt doubts in his faith, but 'having seen the frailties of mankind 1 + s and felt the-over-powering. iuttuence ol 'God is his lite and strength of heart he expresses his gladness and feeling of Iaith by not speaking of his former ube. From doubt there is the cfience of unbelief and it is our task to set ou. selves to believe. Nevertheless there are many apparent reasons fdr doubt. Conditions in life tend ly this. The intellectual doubt by propositions whuch they eamnot deny ust man has not learned to adjust the new dis- coveries to the old truths. Other men (hate the. truth when it clashes theie ambitions: and . plans, knowing their duty. The only deiensible and praiseworthy element in doubt is that it is the means of faith and of an higher and truer life. As in war, the means is the argument put forward to. justify the end. God's love, our faith and Tife everywhere calls for he lief and mot doubt. It is man's na ture to believe, "and this universal craving argues the existence of truth to satiate it as in every normal de- sire. Nature itseli calls for man to believe, and deception of mankind must be forgotten in thé confidence of aith, A man may be a sceptic in busi- ness matters and yet a success in lit. erature, not due to his .doubts in business, but his beliefs in literature. Men become leaders through their convictions and faith. Even our ex- periences justify faith, and looking back to occasions of doubt we see that the incidents all tended towards our own benefit as with Abraham and his people. From obstacles and opposition the joys of life arise, Browning well expresses these senti. ments in his poem "The Bishop and the Sceéptie," when he tells us that We could not be sure the would be better if things were changed and that unbelief is no more surer than belief but tends to a life of doubt. Furthermore it is not justified, for man must select what is best for himself and others which is faith as it helps man to fight evil. Fa'th thus becomes a duty and unbelief an offence. As it is hard to believe so the calm and hero- ic way is God's, To young men starting life the lesson of the Psalm must be taken. Honesty and openness are fine thin £8, but they have: their plans and when they cut they must be avoided. An anchorage and instigation for our work must be founded on faith as it Is faith in God and man that inspires. The spirit of faith should permeate eur whole being and be with us al- ways. with MEAT FAMINE AVERTED Dispute in Australian Industry Has Been Adjusted.

Thompsofi, of Ottawa, Was the Preacher--Spoke of the Needs of the Canadian Church. Rev. Basil W. Thompson, M.A., of Trinity church, Ottawa, placed the educational work of Canadian th- odism and its ever-increasing Na before the congregation of Queen Street Methodist church on Sunday. It was the educational anniversary, and Mr. Thompson, a graduate of Victoria ~ University, Toronto, and later a minister in this district, was the 'preacher at both services. € represented the educational respon. sibility, which, he declared, was the second in importance of the Shuteh, | In an unprejudiced and forcible mane ner...

Mr} Thompson briefly outlined the ex- tensive and ever-inereasing work of this' educational enterprise -- the equipment and maintenance of the Methodist theological colleges, from coast to coast, and the assisting by money loans the hundreds of stu- dents who are preparing themselves for the ministry. therein. \ Intimating that he depended very little upon the contributions. of - mil. lionaires and wealthy members, the preacher declared that all church en- terprises, and the educational in par ticular, depended upon the generos- ity of the ordinarily . circumstance? man and woman in the pew. For its successful carrying out it depended, said he, upon how the individual squares up to it personally. The text was wholly in keeping with this. It was selected from St. John xxi:21-- "Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?" Christ's retort to this question was that His apostle Peter should be more concerned about his personal responsibility. Mr. Thompson quoted figures and dwelt upon the increase in the num ber of young men preparing them selves for the Methodist ministry and for this reason the problen which the church of today is face tc face with. For the foreign as wel as the home "work, the church re quires not men who are masters o oratory or elocution but those with 1 living and vital message, an inter pretation of life, an inspiration te right living CHURCH UNITY QUESTION Feature of Annual Evangelical I'ree Church Congress.
