Rev. A. P. Shatiord, in Montreal, traced ihe origin of the drama to the iy Church, which, with appropriate and suggestive settings, undertook to teach its doctrines in this way. Bib lical characters were presented, some of them crudely enough, and there was no hesitation, he said, in per- sonating God and the devil, the Deity «being a figure gilded from head to foot, and his satanic majesty by a * figure that was dressed like a court _ Jester, The drama "of the limes was justified on the ground that - the too' elaborate ceremonial of the "mmde it pecessary to appeal the souls of men by means of fheir senses when it was impossible appeal to them through their in- telleots."

The smile completely disappeared from the grey-haired gentleman's | face, as a workman, nearby, leaned | to the Boy Scout leader and whisper- ed something in that young gentle- man's ear.

As the leader turned from his com- pany and faced the grey-haired gen- tleman, his hand went to his cap in salute, "F beg pardon, general," he said. It was General Sir John French, commander of the British expedi- | tionary force in France, to whom he spoke. And General French showed why he is the leader he has become. The great soldier leaned to the boy, shook his hand warmly, and paid him the further compliment by say- ing. "There were ,alas, no - Scouts when I was a boy," Then he re- turned the salute and walked. away. Now, Gen, French had been wait- ing for a tram to go back to Black- i friars, he instinctively knew that it {was time for his exit. To have remained would have spoiled every- thing. The Boy Scouts plainly would have shown their embarrass- ment in. their youthfulness. Gen, French retreated.
