The convention for Kastern Ontag- io, under the direction of the Sun- day School Association for the vince, pro- will begin its sessions on Wed- nesday morning. will continue for three days. will be attended by about three hundred and fifty persons, and led by of, the most devoted men men that the church can will "include Mrs. H. M. Chicago, the president of the Chicago Graded Union, and J. I. Alexander, of the same city, the Superintendent of the Secondary Division, (teen age), of the International Sunday. School Association. The Sunday school is one of the older imstitutions of the church for the education the young. It came inlo existence through the discernment of a layman who realized two things: (1): The neces sity of religious, (or Biblical), train- ing, and (2) the need of having this done outside of the homes. How many parents concern themselves with the education of their children in religion and 'morals? How many of them concern themselves about ithe educa- tion in religion and morals that is given by others? The heartbreak and the heart-ache of the school! workers is that the and the mothers kmow nothing, care nothing about the Sunday school. They show no interest in it. They manifest no regard for its welfare. They decline every pressing mvitation to see what it is doing. The . con- vention which meets on Wednesday will bé & success if it' imspires the delegates With' new "@mbitions and plans, but it will be a failure if it does sense of their ity.

A general shrinkage in stocks America is alleged, and the, financial papers have a list of securities that have involved many people in serious loss, il not of ruin. The man who was loaded up with any security when the war broke out was surely unfor- tunate. The total loss to stockhold- ors is calculated at $26,200,000. The loss in England is not known, but it must be terrible. A letter to u friend described the condition of som English families as very pitiable. 'They were considered well-off.

The Whig quoted from a New York paper, a few days ago, certain state the adjustment accounts between the United States The United States will owe England, at the end of the year, about $360,000,000. A large sum, and one that cannot be paid in gold of its equivalent. Hence the visit of Sir George Paish and Basil B.

"Oftawa, Nov. 3--Arthur Hawkes, Toronto, at a public meeting here said that a prdpaganda hould Ix started in Canada similar to that in England to urge Canadians to enlist for the war.. Cabinet ministers and leaders of the opposition, he said, should go upon the same platform leaving all party strife behind, and impress upon the people the seriou of* the struggle and the fact that it was Canada's war just as much as England's The majority of the men of the first contingent were not Canadian born, and even in two Ontario bat talions beimg raised for the second contingent, out of 220 names exam ined, only thirty-eight were Canad ian born. Canada with having other supplies. ness should not feel satisfied made gifts of flour The greatest need was for men, There would be one hundred or perhaps two hundred thousand required from Canada, and an active propaganda should at once be begun. Mr. Hawkes thought that should be taken to ensure that the foreigners of many different race in this country should be made feel that they belonged to Cana¢ and had a part in this war as well as the Canadian born. They should not be allowed to feel that they stood apart. of welding them nationality. Cobourg Offers 100. Cobourg, Nov. 3.--Major J. W Odell, 0.C., in compliance with, an inquiry from Major Roy, now in command of the citadel at Quebec, has sent an offer of from 950 to 100 men and two officers, himsell avd Lieut. Peterson. It. appears tha a depot of 150 men is to be establizh- ed at Quebec in order to keep up the strength of the artillery. Recruiting has been going on in Cobourg bai- tery since its return from Vancou- and into the Canadian strength of 118 is required they ean be raised. Ought To Make "Em Get In Line.
