RELIGION, A speaker at the London Me- thodist Conference said that "with the growth of intellect, devotion failed and intellect thrived." Is this a fact? 1s there any conflict between intellect and religion? It has not been admitted by the aver- "ge churchman. And the point that puzzles is that which followed in the remark of the same reverend gentle- man, viz., that there are signs of re- turn- to the eld "landmarks, and a better spiritual atmosphere. What does he mean? There is no sign of a decline in intellect. And if there is not, the return to the old land marks, or the simplicity that fits best into the religious life, is surely missing, Some men with peculiar Meas should either elabor- ate them a little more, or the press should, In noting them, mot spoil the argument with a summary of it. ---------------------- Mr. Rowell does mot expect much 200d 'to follow the work of the Li- cense Commissioners. It will re- move irregularitiés and put out of business undesiralle houses, and clean up the trafic to some extent. It will not, and cannot, reform the bar wooms: That is Mr. Rowell"s contention, MAKE A HOLY WAR. One sentiment of a member of the General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church reached the heart of the average commissioner, and stir- red it most unusually. "It is our own fault," said he, "if we do not make this war a holy one." The thought at once recalled the at- tempts in this world-campaign to inflame the Mohammedans and to in- vite from them & conflict of the deadMest kind. For somehow the fights that have Been hloodiest had their origin and incentive in = reli- gion, The zealots know no reason in their campaigh. They simply realize that thelr religion has been assailed and they rally to its de- fense, and are willing to make any sacrifice in its behalf. It is a long time since the tians were will ing to lay down their lives in behalf of their cause, but they have a right to do it. And never so much as how, when German atrocities ate being conymitted in the name of the God upon whom the Kaiser so often and so impiously calls. A Holy War is not a modern experience. It is scarcely possible to associate holi- ness with the battle as it may be waged to-day. Good men engage in it, and the defence of their country has been as sacred to them as any- thing can' be. But holiness is not recognized as the attribute of the field where men suffer and die through the. diabolical practices which culture has sanctioned.

Thé relation between threse two must be defined. Thus, the probe must be still further used, and when it js withdrawn, the re- sults will be surprising, but no more 80 than they are expected to be in view of the long reign of the most reckless administration' that any province has had, excepting, per- haps, British Columbia.

The Stationing Committee recom- mended to Conference that the re- quest of the Montreal Church board be granted to utilize St. James' in in- stitutional work, Rev. Dr. Philip did not approve of the scheme. He said he was nét in sympathy with going overseas to get a man to put in the big charge when there were lots of young men in Canada. © "The Maple Leaf For- ever," exclaimed Dr. Philp, After this matter was voted: on, one of the delegates from Smith's Falls extended an invitation to the Conference to meet there next year. Rev. Dr. Rose and Elmer Davis were elected members of the St. James' Chureh commission. - Rev. Dr. Smyth, Principal of the Wesléyan College, Montreal, present- ed an excellent report. When the report of the treasurer was read it showed that the past year had been the best in the history of the college as it had closed its books with a bal- ance of $264. The principal of Stanstead College presented the report for that branch of the work. "The financial condi- tions are fine," stated the principal. Miss Hatcher, one of the five dea- conesses employed in the work in the Montreal Conference, gave an inter- esting review of the work the five la- dies had carried on during the past twelve months. A letter of greeting was received from the Presbyterian General As- sembly being held in Kingston. The report of the Methodist Book Room, in charge of William Briggs, was read. The Conference appointed Rev. John Webster, Rev. William Craig and Rev. William Knox, Newington, to attend the fimeral of the late Rev. William Sanderson. Monday Evening Session. Monday evening was given over entirely to missionary work. - Rev. Dr. Endicott, who has been in the missionary work for man years, gave one of the best addressis he has ever given. Elmer Davis was chair- man of the evening. Mr. Davis stated that he believed that in many circuits too many minis- ters were employed. He thought if the churches were centred, some of the ministers would be available for work along the frontier where they were so badly needed. He referred to Kingston as having too many Pro- testant churches for the population. "It I take from the missionary fund and give to the Patriotic Fund or the Red Cross I am no patriot," remarked the chairman. . Rev.
