For their pensions a sum of $30,000,000 has just been voted, Who will pay this vast sum ahd the interest upon it? The people of the day, so far as they are able to do so; the rising generations, and the generations yet unborn. The empire is not making sacri- fices fer" the benefit of those who tive and have, directly and indirect- ly, participated in the great war, but for the British race for all time, and the representatives of Britain| and her dominions in the coming years, will pay, gladly, their share of the debt imposed by the war. They will do more. They will thank and hold in grateful remem- brance the men, and the women too, who have been, and. até now, mak- ing herolc sacrifices for. the nation's abiding - good. What are the pen- sions paid to crippled soldiers and widows but a visible expression of the gratitude of 'the living for the oblations of the dead upon the altar of their country? Norris, of South West Toronto, has deliberately thrown the temperance votes. He does not want their vptes, and frantically says so. "NOW." The beginning and the ending of the world's greatest endeavors are comprehended in that little word, "Now." It is short, but it stretches all the way from inception to comple- tion. It is little, and yet it is every- thing; it indicates but an instant, yet it fills all time and will fill all eternity. "Now" is the secret of filling our d to fullness. All that you are or have, all that you ever were or had, all that you ever will be or have, all your dreams, hopes, posses- sions, loves, associations, are yours by virtue only of that slender thread of an instant "Now." "Now" is all we have. The past is gone, the fu- ture is yet to come, but "Now" is ours. \ The value of the time we use we can measure, in a way; but who can ever 'know the value of time that has been lost? True, there are some things that cannot be done now, We may not have the material for them. We may not yet have the skill and knowledge. It is not yet time for them to be dome. But commonly even these can be begun now, while the desire and the intention are fresh and strong. To begin a thing is to make yourself a part of it. "Now". jes ours. It is all we have.

There are eight such shields one of which bears the arms of Great Britain and Ireland and the other seven the arms of her allies--France Russia, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro. The hate and bitterness born of the war will fade odt as the years go by, and before the century is end- ed---perhaps before it is half run out --the -self-governed Teutonic peoples will look back with shame and horror at the crime of their ruling class which shed more blood in three vears than had reddened earth in previous millennium in human history. When that state of mind prevails the people of Europe will forget the past and fraternize again; but it may be that the coats of arms upon this building will still recall the fact that those were the branded nations that fought the greatest, bloodiest, costliest battle for human freedom ever waged upon our planet.
