THE HALLS OF QUEEN'S | PROF. DALL WAS THE SUNDAY MORNING PREACHER. Conversazione To Be Held On 15th January -- Presentations To Be Given the Overseas Contingent. The service at Convocation Hall on Sunday mornipg was taken by the Rev. Prof. Dall, who took his text from II Corinthians, IV. 18: "The things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." These words. were spoken by a great man at the outset of the great- est struggle in history, and the « Christians were facing the task of winning the world for their master These men counted all matenial 5 worthless when compared with the true knowledge of Jesus. St. Paul knew victory would rest 'with the Christian church for it was founded on the love of God, which fails not. In the third cen- tary the invisible power of the Christian church won its fight over the outward and visible power of the Roman church. All outward things are after all the things which matter' least, and the inward things which no man has seen, are the owes that matter most A man's wealth does not consist of the amount of gold he possesses, hut of the contentment of his mind with What he has. All the external pos. sessions of man, money, health, Dower, may be swept away, but the inward things, truth, the veace of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Ghost, have in them the essence of life etornal. We are lost if we can only look on the things of the world but we are saved if we can look on the things of the soul and God. What material benefit can we hope to gain from this present war" We believe our cause to be -a Tigh teous one because we are fightine on the side of things unseen and eternal, and not for worldly gain It has been the delusion of alt worldly tyrants of all times, tha' they can overwhelm things unseen and eternal by the sword. To vair imagination of temporal Power ca- be traced much of the SOTTOW, Pair and suffering of all times. An exceptionally good meeting of the QU.M.A. was held on Saturday morning when addresses were giver by several of the students. Miss Me Callum gave a very interesting talk on the work among Scandinavian children in the west, and showed that there was a great need for Queen's students among these children: Miss Hume showed that students can do much in making the children of to- day, in the west, good and useful citizens of to-morrow. .

Your money stays in Kingston, liv- ens up Kingston trade generally, and 30 helps to create a prosperity in vhich vou share. Moreover, it is safer. Compared with outside stores, the stocks car ried in Kingston furnish abundant inducements for buying at home. Your purchases made at home are safeguarded by the fact that your focal dealer is handy to get at, so that if any inequality creeps into your order, he is right here, on the spot, 'o make it right, without the trouble of correspondence with some one at a distance and the conse quent delay it causes before com- plaints are adjusted. You can also help our merchants by keeping. mepsy 'in circulation in our own 'town. In view of the ten dency with some fo cling to their spare cash, it is desirable that our townspeople should do their share to stimulate a liberal spirit of trade in practical giving at this season. Buy practical gifts by all means, and buy conscientiously, conserva tively--buy because you desire "scatter blessed sunshine as go." Then again, have yon remembered how these days before Christmas are the wonderful days in the life of the child, most wonderful days, perhaps, than any that are to come ? Yon know that yourself.

"This is a wonderful day of op- portunity," said Dean Starr, preach- ing in St. George's Cathedral, on Sunday morning. He spoke on the war, and pictured many scenes in connection with the conflict. Men in all walks of life had offered them- selves for service at the front. The men were fighting for a great prin- | ciple.

Three divisions were made by hig i lordship. These included, When wil| the coming be ? What will be the sign of it? What wif it do for th | world ?

First Baptist Church. Church, yesterday, were of very spec- ial interest. Rev. T. T. Shields, of Toronto, who is still with the pastor in special services this week, preached 'at both services. At the morning service he _eontrasted the character of life, governed by law, and the life under grace. That under law is governed by compulsion, is shallow, limping. unsatisfactory The life actuated by the principles of grace, is actuated by impression, i free, spontaneous, fruitful, joyon It was a discourse of rare power and helpfulness In the evening Mr. Shields illus- trated God's kindness and abounding Erace, as revealed in the gospel, hy King David's treatment of Mephi bosheth, grandson of King Saul, and lame on both his feet. With his singular power for bringing out an- alogies of gospel truth from Old Testament Incidents and ceremonies. he preached from this a sermon which held in spell-hound interest, every hearer in the large audience It was not strange that many falking about the splendid sermon at the cloce of the service.

With the change in the name to Tichborne Junetion this confusion will be ended. Address Y. M. C, A. Boys' Class. T. F. Harrison addressed the Y. M. C. A. boys' class on Sunday morn- ing.

The teachers of , Vancouver pay or give twenty per cent. of their salary to the Relief Fund making over four thousand dollars a month. They made a call for clothes and in two days cart loads arrived. They found a widow who was struggling to keep her childrén, they pay ker $30 a month to label and distribute the clothes also a hot lunch and short hours. Another widow mends clothes being paid the same also lunch. An old cobbler was found who was out of work; he is employed to mend all the rlhoes, sent in. Men are employed to improve the grounds belonging to the schools and cultivate vacant land owned by the schools. All this is what the teachers are doing--1I real- ly think it is worth telling--A CITI- ZEN. 'AT BUSTARD CAMP Ringstonian Says Boys Get Plenty to Eat, Private W. H.
