LeRoy Rice's address in Sydenham Stre:t Methodist Bible Sebool Hall on | Wednesday night, as a contittuation of the Week of Prayer. The speaker as- sortédd that we all thought the ties of brotherhood were strong enough to not break and deluge the world into such #triie, but they were not. Evi- dence was strongly shown at the very outset of the war, when three sup- posedly christian men, who bad been | working side by side fn a Y. M. C, A. at one of the German capitals, immediately rent their friend- ship asunder, and returned to their own nations to fight against each other. "What a mockery od the speaker. continu- "It hag cut through is war, christian labor.' the purposes undoing of years of It has diverted of nations in - this respect, It has wasted the money which should go into the treasury to help along better things. it has had the ignobls | reputation ~ of diverting men from christian warfare into dastardly earth lv strife. The educated men are now being draughted 'into the army and years oi bard toil to bring about a desired consummation bas been prac- tically shattered. The war has also broken off the communication in con- nection with the mission fields. Ai the present time it is one of.the hardest problems to send money to the mis- sion fields. In many cases it is dis- counted so greatly that it is only to send it. The distress thus caused by -such hardships is frightful, and if it is not soon ended, it will bring about starvation in many a mission field. Mr. Rice stated that there were four hundred German missionaries in Alriea and these have begn cut off from the world. Thanks to the chris- tian spirit of England, she has under- taken to, relieve these sufferers, even though their nation is in arms against her. A disastrous blow - has been struck both upon the German and French missions, as well as the Mor- avian, which have brought them to a standstill, declared the speaker. The effects thus created by this war are going to tell wonderfully upon the Orntal nations. It has impressed them with the idea that our christian ity is only a mirage, an optleal illu gion. Since the last great war in Furope, forty years ago, it seems as | the so-called was ouly a lull to prepare for this present upheaval. Mr. Rice ended his eloquent dis- course in quite an oplimistic manner, and told of the eficet the war will have upon our Canadian churches, He was of the opinion that such events will happen as did after the Napol eonic wars, the Urimean war, and the Indian mutiny." Greater missionary societies will be organized, such as after the aforementioned striles. Ja: pan, and possibly China, will be drawn closer to us. 1t is certain, said Mr. Rice, that Japan, in entering this war, bas done so ause that nation has found Britain true, and the after-results are sure to be en- couraging.

District Représentative C. Main in bls annual report thus writes of Farmers' Institute meetings: "We have endeavored to attend as many ¢f these mestiygs ag Pos. sible for tWo reasons ist, cause it gives us an opportunity be discussing other phases of the work which are more practical, therefore interesting and profitable frum the farmers standpoint. Secondly, for the purpose of addressing them on certain subjects which the secretary of the institute deems suitable to the people in the particular locality in which the meeting is held. "In some parts of the county the ingtitute is as strong to-day as ii evér was, but in other districts the interest has gradually died out and the farmers do not atiend in suffi- cient numbers to warrant the time of the speéakérs and the expenditure connected with 'advertising and hold_ ing the meeting. tendanee at most of the institute 1aectivgs held in this county during the past year have been fairly en- cor ging, but one feels, after lec- turing for three-quarters of one hour on a cert#in subjéct, and you can get practically none, of but very little discussion, that the object of the meeting has not been realized. You are of the opinion - that very little -of the valuable jmparted will be put into practical use-and that Hlustrated -- lectures have 'been more interesting to the people attending and have been the means of creating discussions and while we must admit that the Farm- ers' Institute is, no doubt, doing ex- cellent work, yet at the same time I am of the opinion that demonstra- tion or experimental work along agricultural lines is very much more important and is appreciated to a greater extent by the farmers in this county. - In "act, after discus- sing the results of our institute meetings with the directorate of the two branches in the county, they de" ¢ided that in many cases it would be in the interests of all econcerped to utilize the money spent in con- the purpose of buying new varieties~of our more important cereals for dis- tribution to the farmers Tor experi- mental work; thus giving them an opportunity of getting a variety of grain started om their farms which will be the means of greatly in- ber of farms ih the county. Since the outbreak of the war, the depart ment has decided to cancel many of the institute meetings and this step has caused considerable ill feeling among the farmers in certain dis- triets and it 98 quite amusing to note that those who stated that the Jdunstitute meetings were practically valueless, were the first to murmur any being they are appreciated to sofwe wxtent and are the means of reaching cer- 'tain farmers that we eowld not get in touch with by aby ether method." : 'CHANCELLOR'S SON, - How Lieut.
