RK DINED (BY THE GOVERNIN QUEEN'S 8 deep : i To Say Farewell To the Students Go- | 'ing Overseas---lotter rom Prin. | cipal Gordon Was Read, One "of the: most successful dinners ever held in Kingston was given ay night in Grant Hall by the and the of the Behool of Mining Yo the overseas contingent of the Filth Field any. In addition to about eighty men in' uniform there Were present the 'stafls of the various faculties with their wives, the loeal trustees, of the university jvouncil, and members of 'the board of governors-with their wives. At the last moment Principal Gordon was unhickily compelled through illaess to be absent, but the chair was admir- ably by: Vice-Principal Watson, who read the following letter from the absent principal : "V ice- Pumcipasr Watson, LL.D. "Dear Dr. Watson: 1 am very keenly disappainted at being unable tc be present this evening at the din- ner to be given by Queen's University | urd the School of Mining to the mem- bers of the 6th Company, fleld engi- | neers, all the more so as I was ex- pected to take the chair. This privi- lege. will now fall to you, ai I am Wholly prevented from béing present by a temporary illness. "It is most suitable that we would recognize thé 'work which has been done by our engineers in expressing the loyal devotion of Queen's to the empire, as well as the readiness of the students to render service. "It has frequently been noticed how great an effect the war has al- ready bad in uniting all classes of the comimuuity, and' we have ex- BODIES oF sree within the university. 'Profes- Sor and sophomore, lecturer and freshman have been training togeth- er, and are all making good progress in military digeipline. "Not ohly se, but it has also led to the practice of arts which had al- most passed away. The revival or the art of knitting, for example, may be cited as a by-product of the war. Ouly the other day I passed two of our women students as they were get- ting ready to leave college for: the afternoon, and heard one of them say, "Waitamoment tilil get my knit- ting; Inhwaysknit on my way home," Economy of time is one of the secrets of getting work done, and certainly the workers in the Red Cross Associ- ation, both women students and those ladies clotely connected with the gtaff, have shown an inspiring ex- ample of faithful and patient devo- tion to duty. Every afternoon the Red Room has presented the appears ance of a very hive of industry, and the miemhers of the 5th company, field engineers, have received, or will receive, from the ladies of the Red Cross Association suitable gifts, which wiil serve not only as a me- mento of Queen's, but. will greatly in- crease their comfort on the field. "At the same time, the loftier con- siderations presented by such a con- ict are not ignored, although we do rot refer much tp them, because the graceof humour is helpful in looking at'the more serious aspect of the con- flict. But no one can ignore the duty laid alike upon individuals and upon nations in this great war. "Yet we must cherish the vision of peace as the permanent condition. War is temporary; peace abides. And so we look forward to the future to interpret the present, as indeed is usually the tase with us. It is the autumn that interprets spring. It is maturity that interprets the mean- ing and value'of infancy. I do not mean that the charm of the young lady of eightgen suggests to her ad- mirer. what she will-look like at eighty. But withal, it "is -the out- come of evenls which enables us to look at them 'correctly, and when we can study the present war in the light of its consequences we may be eble to form a more correct judg- ment than in the light of what seems to be its causes, "But I must not philosophize; that is your own peculiar province. What I do want to say is that I send to the members of the 5th company my bes! wishes: as they go forth from the halls of thelr alma mater. I am sure that they will all do credit to Queen's dnd to their country. We offer up our prayers on their behalf, and we shall give them a right royal weltome on their return.

"In the midst of .life we aye in death:" how true these words! . But only as they touch our loved ones do we feel that awful force of them. A few days ago the late Mrs. Glover went to the hos- pital, Kingston, for the efter treat- ment of a bruised ankle, in usual good health. The ankle re- sponded so well to the treatment that she expected to leave any day, | lier health and spirits apparently, the very 'In but, suddenly, on} Thursday 24th December, about three in the afternoon, while the nurse was adjusting her pillow, she swoolied and passed, without a word or a struggle. The "eart had ceased to beat forever The funeral took place late residence, Camden friends and her loved ones gathers ed round the mortal remains of the true mother of fifty-six years, The service was simple and touching; after the last, her favourite hymn, "Shall We Gather at the River." was sung fad a last look by her loved ones, on the face so dear, so peaceful, and so free from care, the remains were tenderly borne from the home she loved so well, and so long; and which she had made, by four of her soms, and taken to the last resting place of her mortal body; there it rests with God who gave it and whom she trusted so fully for so many years. Hers was a long, useful and noble life, gentle, unselfish, true and kind; interested in her church and all worthy caus- es but above all in her large family, all of whom look upon her as a saint of God and the source of all that is worthy in their lives.
