PAGES 9-12 berreee YEAR 82; NO, 247 THE GREATEST IN WORLD ! Enthusiastic Belief in the Existence of God ir NEED TO-DAY Rev. Dr. Endicott Says Human Race Has Vindicated Itself in This War. "The greatest need in the world long. ls that of a fresh, eager, en- thusiastic, belief in the reality of the existence of God," declared Rev. Dr James Endicott, of the Methodist Mission Board, Toronto, in a strong and masterly sermon at Queen's Con- vocation Hall, on Sunday morning Principal Gordon presided at the service, and Prof. John Dall assist ed in the devotional exercises, Dr. Endicott spoke from the text, Mark, XI, 22; "And Jesus answering saith unto them, hdve faith in God." At the opening of his discourse, the speaker said that, there was no need for him to refer to the fact we are living in tragic times. And it was not necessary for us to remind ourselves of the things which were being shaken. Only the things which could not be shaken, would abide with us and the question the speaker wished to ask was this: "On what foundation are we standing?" By far the greatest need in the world to-day was a fresh faith in the Eternal God, faith in the reality of the existence of God. The speaker went on to explain how thirty or for- ty years ago, students in theology heard a great deal about atheism. There were many men in those days, who did not believe in God. There were many 'who believed that faith in God was but another form of sup- erstitution. In the present day, however, this had passed away. But while we were living, we must be liv- ing on some sort of foundation--on some powerful principle, or we were not living at all. The speaker had read the Bible for many years: He had studied it theologically, and he had asked himself - this question: "What is the message of the Old Testament, what is the great mes- sage of the New Testament?" "In the Old Testament there was the real conviction of the living God in three elements: (1) Truth; (2) va- lue; (3) final triumph. The tendéncy to-day, was that of questioning the strength of God's government, rath- er than the denial of His existence, The fact that God was real, was not denied, but on th¢* éther hand, it was claimed that He was too remote. In these days of tragedy and mon- strous crimes, what were the out: standing facts of the case? The speaker was amazed at the way in which the human race vindicated it- self, It had been found impossible to dethrone the conscience of the people in regard to what was right This had not only been the case in our country, and all through Europe, but in South Africa Japan and China as well. It was a great thing to know that in spite of such a world tragedy, which was now going on, that the cofscignce of the race had not been defiled. The, people had the capa- city to endure suffering and keep their faith At this point, Dr. Endicott paid a warm tribute to Edith Cavell, the British nurse, who died for her country "What a grand thing it was," he added. "She is far too noble for eulogy. She went to her death with unbandaged eyes, and with a smile og her lips. It was with pride thatishe died for her country. By her death she had ad- ded new spirit to patriotism, and new lustre to womanhecod." InAhese present days there was no justification for pessimism and athe- ism. There was no justification for us losing our faith in God. We need faith for the future. A great deal was being said these days about the great debt of the country, and the huge burdens the generations to fol- low would have to meet. And it was troubling a great many to think how the country would be able to get back into its former position. *Xll these things did not matter so much, There would be joy in knowing that there would be a great new beginn- ing. Much credit had been given to the powers of evil? Did we ever stop to think how weak every evil was? Virtue was rooted in strength, in conscience and in things which could not be destroyed.

"My-last word to you young men 'dnd women to-day, is that you have faith in God," said Dr.. Endicott, who pointed out that if there was one weakness in university life it was that of seeking for knowledge for vocation, rather than to mike a life of service. Too many young men and women, alter getting their education, brushed to one-side the claims of religion. It must be re mentbered that the supreme knowl- edge 'was the knowledge of God.

Cadets Blot 2 RUGBY ON SATURDAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE CITY LEAGUE. The Army Team Consisted Chiefly Of Players From the 34th Battery, -- "Jack" Willams Was Very Prominent. Another splendid game of the City Rugby League Series, was played on the Athletic Field, on Saturday af- ternoon when the Army team de- feated the Cadets of the Royal Mili- tary College by 16 to 2. The Army team is composed almost entirely of men from the 34th Battery, The only two men from other units are Lieuts. Stratton, 80th Battalion and Williams, A."S. C. Both are so ex- ceptionally good players: that they ably represented the remainder of the camp and completed on of the strongest lines that has ever been seen in action on the Athletic Field. The line is much heavier than that of the Cadets, but this fact did not have as much bearing on the score as the science ghowed in formations and also the ticularly successful bucking done by 'the overeas 'sol- diers. With a very few exceptions the game was clean from start to finish and at no time did anything but the most sportemanlike feeling prevail. It was decidedly interesting to watch and between the rooting of the ca- dets and the soldiers, and the music from the 59th Battalion there was the necessary amount of discord and harmony to suit anyone. It was a splendid game and worthier of a larger crowd .than the one present. There was a noticeable lack of sol- diers in the bleachers, due probably to the holding of the 59th Battalion sports on Saturday afternoon.

The team that played on Saturday will play in Toronto on November 6th against a team from Niagara camp under Capt. "Jack" Maynard, formerly of 'Varsity. How The Play Went. The game opened with the ball kicked by Gates to Williams, who returned and this booting comtintied until the ball was recovered by the soldiers within ten yards of the ca- dets' goal. The play was continu- ally, with only a few minutes inter- mission, in the cadets' territory dur- irg this period and both sides work- ed ha At this stage of game the soldiers, particularly Dibble, dis- played an unusual tendency to jump the scrimmage in an attempt to go through. As the latter passesses unusual strength, his efforts were only stopped after much hard work, From a scrimmage at the thirty-five yard line Williams kicked the ball back to the cadets goal line and Sav- age was forced to rouge giving the soldiers the first point of the game. A few minutes later Williams kick- ed a drop and brought this up to four. "The quarter ended with a series of bucks and short rune by both sides the ball remaining prac- tically all of the time in the R. M. C. ground. In the secopd quarter there was decidedly. moréd kicking, as the ca- dets realized that it was practically impossible to force through the sol- diers' Leavy line. Price was, forced to rouge ir this quarter giving the soldiers tpeir fifth point. Saundérs was hurt in a scrimmage and was roplaced by Wallbank. A wi al- ter play was resumed. O'Rel was also put out and was replaced by Vrooman. Williams failed to recover Gates' kick, and the cadets made their first point. A minute later Smith was forced t6 rouge and the second and last point was also scored. The last half was all for the scl diers. The cadets seemed to lack condition and didn't come back near- ly as strong as did their op ts. In the final quarter tans kicked to Maclaren who caught the ball, but was downed before he was able to get out, and a try resulted.

SECOND SECTION "I HAVE NO FEAR London, Oct. ,25.--The British Foreign Office has made public the report of Rev. H. S. T. Gahan, the British chaplain in Brussels who vi- sited Miss Edith Cavell just before her execution, and a letter from Brand Whitlock, the American Min- ister to Belgium, to Walter Hines Page, the American Ambassador in London. In his letter Mr. Whit- lock says he requested that the body of Miss Cavell be delivered to the School for Nurses, of which she was the directoress, his request he ing referred to the Ministry of War in Berlin. Rev. Mr. Gahan in his report says "On Monday evening, the 11th of October, I was admitted by a special passport from the German authori- ties to the Prison of St. Gilles, where Miss Edith Cavell had been confined for ten weeks. The final sentence had been given early that afternoon. "Tq my astonishment and relief, I found my friend perfectly calm and lessen the tenderness and intensity of feel- ing on.either part during that last interview of almost an hour. "Her first words to me were upon a matter concerning herself, person- ally, but the solemn = asseveration which accompanied them was made expressedly in the light of God and eternity. She then added that she wished all her friends to know that she willingly gave her life for her country, and said: "'I have no fear nor shrinking, I have seen death so often that it it not strange or fearful to me.' "She further said: "I thank God for this ten weeks of quiet before the end. My life has always been hurried and full of difficulties; this time the rest has been a great mercy. They have all been very kind to me here. But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity; I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone!' " ! "We partook of Holy Communion together, and she received the Gos- pel message of consolation with all her heart, At the close of the little service I began to repeat the words, 'Abide with me,' and she joined soft ly to the end. "We sat quietly talking until it was time for me to go. She gave me parting messages for relatives and friends. She spo of her soul's needs at the moment and she received the assurance of God's words as only a Christian'ecan do. "We Shall Meét Again." "Then .I said good-bye, and smiled and shld, 'We shall again.' "A German military chaplain was with her at the end and afterwards gave her a Christian burial. He told me: \ 1 J 'She was®rave and bright to the last. She professed her Christian faith and sald she was glad to die for her country. She died like a heroine.' Mr. Whitlock, in enclosing the let- ter he wrote to Baron von der Lancken, the German Governor, at the request of President Falder, of the Court of Appeals in Brussels, and the president of the Belgian School for Nurses, asking that Miss Cavell's body be delivered to the School for Nurses, of which she was the directress, says: "I have not received a written re she meet -- and the Worst is Yet to Come. NOR SHRINKING" Final Words of Edith Cavell to Her Spiritual Adviser---Gave Life For Her Country---On «of the Great Martyrs. ply to my note to Baron Lancken on the subject, but he came to see me yesterday afternoon and stated that the body had been interred near the prison of St. Gilles, where the exe- cution took place, and that, under the regulations governing such cases, it was impossible to exhume the body without written . permission from the Minister of War at Berlin. He added that he had no authority to ask for permission to exhume the body, but that immediately upon the return of the Governor-General he would request him to take the mat- ter up "I shall hope to be able to tell you that we have at least been able to accomplish this small service." Miss Cavell Died Bravely. Edith Cavell, the English nurse executed by the Germans at Brus sels died bravely. When she was put to death by a Teuton firing squad in the darkness of early morning on Oct. 12, despite the efforts of the American Legation to sive her life, she showed the same calmness as she displayed before the court-mar- tial. She refused to be blindfolded. A despatch from Amsterdam quotes her as saying to her execu- tioners: "I am not afraid to die." It states that when Miss Cavell fac- ed the firing squad, she wore the nursing uniform which had been her Sostjie in the hospital where she nursed British, Belgian and German soldiers alike. On her bosom she had pinned a small Union Jack. The firing squad that killed Miss Cavell consisted of Landsturm soldiers from the Brussels garrison. Some-of its members wept as they obeyed the order to fire, - Execution Was Inhuman. The Hague, Oct. 25.--Indignant over the execution of Miss Edith Cavell, the Nienwe Courant, after re- lating the story of her execution, calls her "one of .the.great martyrs of centuries," but recognizes the fact that by sheltering her own countrymen who were enemies of Germany, she committed a punish- able crime. "But - the . execution was inhuman," the paper declares: "The Germans 'apparently desired to give a terrorizin example which, however, only aroused embitterment and strengthened the opinion in neu- tral countries that Germany is ruling Belgium with unnecessary cruélty and harshness.' DESERTERS ROBBED STORE, Sentenced To Three Years In Peni tentiary. Tillsonburg," Oct. 25.~Harry Dale and Lionel Ryder, two deserters from the 33rd battalion; €. E. F., In training at London, were arrested near here charged with burglarizing the clothing store of Alexander Ro- gers, and were sentenced by Police Magistrate Hare to three years each in Kingston Penitentiary. The men, who claim to hail from Ohio, left their uniform in the clothing store and made. off in civilian garb, togeth- er with considerable other goods.
