Parts of his address dealing with matters of more than local Interest, are reproduced. from the Calcutta Englishman: "Turning to foreign affairs nearer home, it is pleasant to be able to state that in Persia there has been a very distinet improvement in the sit- 'uation. We are on the most friendly terms with the Persian Government, who have at last realized the danger to which their country was exposed by the machinations of German and Austrian bands, and are doing their utmost to suppress them. I neéd bardly say that in their efforts to re- store order the Persian Government will continue to Have our hearty eo operation-and assistance in any way that they may desire. * Our friend and ally, the Amir of Afghanistan, continues to maintain very friendly relations with the Government of In- dia, and has recently renewed his as- sSurances to observe an attitude of strict neutrality, and we have im- plicit confidence in nis royal word, "On the frontier perfect tranquil- ity has for some time prevailed, ex- vept for raids by gangs of Mahsuds in the Dera Ismail Khan district. The cup of their misdeeds is already overflowing, and the day of retribu- tion is at hand. As soon as our pre- occupation elsewhere is relieved, and when it suits our convenience, it will be necessary for the Government to take drastic steps to put an end for- ever to the campaign of murder and plunder that bas disgraced the Mah- sud tribe during the past few years. VExcept in Bengal, where, I am SOIry to say, there has been a regret- table number of murders and dacoi- ties which dim the fair fame of that province, and which every effort should made not only by the Gov- ernment, but by the people them- selves, to suppress, the internal sit- uation of India could hardly be more favorable, and it is a source of pro- found satisfaction for me, on the eve of my departure, to be able to say so. When I hear pessimistic prophecies or apprehensions as to the future of India, I ask myself who, twenty years ago, would have predicted the magnificent loyalty of the ruling princes and the people of India which we have geen since the out- break of the war? None ever doubt. ed the valor of the Indian army, Britieh and Indian, but who would have sald twenty years ago: that ft would be possible to send out of In- dia to the different theatres of war army after army of brave and experi- enced soldiers? When it is remem- bered that the largest expedition that ever left the shores of India before the present war numbered only 18,- 000 men, and that since the outbreak of the war India has despatched about 300,000 soldiers overseas, and has contributed several million pounds' worth of 'war materials to the Empire, I think we have every- thing to be proud of the efforts that India has made, and of the situation 9 and inside our frontiers that have ndered such efforts possible. Many gallant men have died for thelr coun- try. Of these the whole Empire is the tomb, "During the past few months | have seen mention made in speeches at meetings in the country and in the press of self-government, colonial self-government, and Home Rule for India. I have often wondered whe- ther those speakers and writers fully realized the conditions prevailing in dominions such as Canada or Aus- tralia which render' self-government possible. I wish that some of these could visit the dominions and see for themselves, A study of the history of the dominions would show that the development of their self-govern- ing institutions had been achieved not by aly sudden stroke of stateh- manship, but by a process of steady and patient evolution which has gradually united and raised all class- es of the community to the level of their enhanced responsibilities. I do not for a moment wish to discoun- tenance self-government for India as a national ideal. It is a perfectly legitimate aspiration and has the warm sympathy of all moderate India it is not idealism that is needed, but practical politics and practical solutions to questions aris- ing out of the social and political conditions in this country. We should look facts squarely in the face and do our utmost to grapple with realities. To lightly raise extrava- gant hopes and to encourage unreal- izable demands ean only tend to de- lay and not to accelerate political progress. I know that this is the sentiment of many wise and thought- In speaking thus frank- ly it is far from my intention to create a feeling of discouragement, for nobody is more anxious than I am to the early realisation of the just and degitimate aspirations of India. But I am equally desirous of avoiding all danger of reaction from the birth of institutions which exper- fence might ve to be premature. During the past five and one-half years I have steadily kept this alm in view, and as far as [ am able will do all in'my power te help the course '{of Indian progress in the future."

The evil of the liquor| trafic must be removed through an| improvement in the morals of the! people, not by legislation. If all the! people in Ontario who say they be-| leve in prohibition would join the Holy Name Abstinence League, there would be a real improvement. But this prohibition movement is the fa- natical work of a lot of people who have no further work in religion and] who start out in this manner and call, it social service. i "I know that whiskey will be ob-| tainable in Ontario in places where it] cannot now be procured, and because | that temptation will continue to exist | I am going to administer the pledge." ¥ Ee. . Those Were the Days When House Interiors Were Really Artistic. Describing the state of society under Alfred the Great, Beatrice A. says: "If the exterior of the 'fair house' of the Anglo-Saxon king or noble was gay with paint and gilding, and Sometimes, it may be, rich with carv- ing, the interior was no less 'gor- geous. The walls were hung with costly tapestry, and the columns which supported the roof were turn- ed, carved, or brightly colored. were no chimneys, it is true, the windows were unglazed, and the furniture was somewhat scanty--a 'high seat' for the lord, with benches for the lowlier men, trestle table, and beds in the 'burcotes' or 'bowers' for the lord's family and the more dis- tinguished guests--but the drinking vessels were often of gold or silver, and of beautiful design and fine workmanship, and though to modern ideas the standard of comfort was low, the artistic standard was rela- tively high. Beauty of form and color probably entered more intim- ately into the everyday life of the mass of the people in ninth-century England than it does at the present y. "At great festivals, public or pri- vate, at Christmas and HBaster, at marriages, and after victories, or when the short cold winter days made outdoor labor and recreation difficult, there would be much good fellowship and merrymaking in the homes of both rich and poor." The Victoria Cross. It has been sald that up to 1856 no English sovereign ever decorated | an Englishman for being brave. Even at that time France had her Legion of Honor, and Queen Victoria noted the anomaly of the two nations fight- ing side by side In the Crimea, the one possessing a highly-coveted de- coration and the other nothing. On January 29, 1856, she institut- ed by royal warrant the Order of the Victoria Cross "for soldiers and sail- ors of any rank for a supreme act of bravery in the presence of the enemy." Thus it will be seen that the gold- en jubilee of the V. C. has arrived, finding this great distinction as young In spirit as ever, as greatly coveted, as highly honored. It is sometimes said that the V. C. is bestowed too liberally, even | though only one is given for every | five hundred Iron Crosses, but it might be recalled that one of the most interesting public appearances Queen Victoria ever made was when, EN MBER IN RORPITAY G in Hyde Park, 18 months after its in- EVEN MEN IN HOSPITALS | Stitusidn.

Liquor Affliction. The bishop characterized liquor as| a great affliction, which should be! shunned by every boy until his dying | day. No man, he told the class, was ever made better by the use of intoxi- cating liquor, and a great many mil- | lions of people, cultured, gifted men | and men of outstanding genius, had | damned themselves from the time of | the Scriptures until the present by| its use. | The bishop, in calling upon the | children to pray for vocations either | in the sisterhood or in the priest-; hood, declared that there is great! nged for development in his diocese. | Six or seven new parishes were held | back because there were 'no priests] for them, and the demands of the! war, necessitating the despatch of) many chaplains to the front, had ag gravated the situation. | War Songs of To-day.
