Again, the present war is the great-| €st temperance campaign that was | over known, as witness the curtail-| of the liquor sale in practically] all gerent countries. Anotherl and a very important benefit of the war is that everything copnected with | making for democracy The! contlict has inteusified a discontent! that may be called divine, for the| movement toward democracy is div-| in The war is also developing al sympathy and attachment akin to fraternal affection. The nations are| being brought closer together in the| bond of brotherliness. This struggle shows, as no other has, the folly of war. It shows, as no other has, the futility of war. Further, it shows the needlessness of} War.

The authors have succeeded in telling us why she is not, and in setting out Some reforms that must be accom- plished 'if final eclipse is not to be the fate of the Empire. The Eng- lishman, we are shown, has because of his conservatism and insularity, lost his markets to the Germans and others and has fallen in the amount of his output Trade unionism has restricted output, and the na'tion has not taken advantage of modern appliances. We are shown that dur- ing the last twenty to forty years most of the inventions, new ideas and developments have been given to the 'world by countries other than our own; ¢drthermore, that their value has been more quickly appreci- ated and put to practical use in foreign lands England's education- al system, or want of system, is the root course, It is disquieting 'to learn that the production per capita in the "Wnited States is from 40 to 300 per cent. greater than in Eng- land.

The hero of the book is Pat- rick, only child of the beautiful and high-born Lady Anne Kirkpat- rick, and of the self-made millionaire. Neither his father nor his mother had a particle of af- fection for him, and when he was only five vears old she eloped With Capt. Rolleston. After this event Mr. Yardley spent a quite consider- able portion of his time in making his son as miserable as possible, And when Iky Tessier, the only child of dead sister, appeared on the scene, John Yardley loved him al- most as much as he detested Patrick.

Men live for eating and drinking, position and wealth: they die for honor and for friendship. True religion is betting one's life that there is a God. In the hour of danger all good men are believers: they choose the spirit- ual, and reject the material. The death'of a hero convinces &i! of eternal life: they are unabié to call it a tragedy.--Donald Hankey, in "A Student in Arms." The Church of Christ was never more seriously sundered than it .s to- day, and new sects are beiug for. ed continuously. In the opposition to organic union many seem to be more concerned fo historic names than for human so s. Tha! is to say, they appear to care more for [John Calvin, or John Knox. c. John Wesley, than for Jesus Curtet. The réports published respectisx the at- titude of extreme anti-unionists vuy- gest, at all events, that thev think mote of self and sect than of Christ and truth. One would exp-<st them to perceive the: Christianity is not an institution but a sp it--a spirit of service and sacrifice- and that religion is not a creed but a life --a life related to God and devoted to his will.--Prof. G. C. Workman, in "Armageddon." JOHN STUART THOMSON. Author's Mother and Grandmother Were Kingstonians. The following article appears in the Hamilton "Spectator" of April 28th, 1917, under "Book Chat': A Canadian griter who is making a name for himself in the United Sta- tes is John Stuart Thomson who was born and edufated in Montreal. Not alone have his articles on finan- cial questions, as related to Canada and Great Britain, won for him cons) siderable attention in the financial world, but as a humorist he is also rapidly coming to the front. A de- licious bit of humor is contained in his book "China Revolutionized," (published by Briggs, of Toronto). It is descriptive of the American woman, as seen by a Chinese house boy. The writer says: "The Americaness is open breath- is hard- er than Chinese woman. In a dan- gerous melancholy ng, the young Americaness quickly #raps her sor- row husband, who cofges to pity, but Soon runs to grieve in divorce court, when loving voice of Americaness recovers from coyness. Bud of ro- mance early frosted, makes scandal wolumn of newspaper, which is best advertising much sought for and read like dog in manger by all act- ress without job. Cold ethics of Chinese woman in comparison, sprouts not too quick ruin, conse- quently wears better. Americaness system much excithiig, is open air theatre for all to laugh and read as run. Americaness never reaches next birthday, consequently always fresh and sweet, like comquat in sy- rup;: but American poet says: "Be- is good each day.' 1 think then China wife is like food, if plain, al- give the author an opportunity for A contrasting the characters of Pat- rick and "Iky---the one headstrong, but honest, the other superficial and sly. Through the story is theatrical- i Iy melodramatic and involved, there are some clever situations. The read- er is interested in the final outcome and interested even when impatient at the methods employed. Miss Sharp has painted a good picture of the vicar, Mr. Vivian, Patrick's best friend, also of Freddie's world- Ty frie, and of Maxon, the black- | mailer. A VISIT TO THREE By Sir Arthur Conan Pages.

A full biography of this writer's connection with Kingston appeared on the Whig Book Review page of Dec. 20th, 1913 His mother, from whom he inherited his sense of hu- mor, was Elizabeth Ferris, of Kings- ton. His grandmothér, who was born Ryder, was of an old U. E. Loy- alist family which came from Water- town, N.Y. to Kingston, his great- grandfather being a Crown survey- or of Frontenac county and being given well known Crown grants in this s~ tion, including the land Cata- raqui cemetery now occupies. His grandmother, tili her death a few years age, live for over 80 vears cf her life at Kingston and Sydenham In an elitorial on April 13, 1917, the Monewar, Times, T~ronto, gives this author credi as beiaug the first publicist, who at 'tae beginning of the war urged tue United States to lend to Britain and Canada billions instead of millions, and these arti- cles of his have Lad mur: influence in the American money market. In the Monetury Times Annual for 1917 this author also comes out, urging that Japan's army of over a million other "0 as to- maintain Russia as a com- vatant, and to save the lives of Can- adian, British and French boys; in other words, that Japan, which will enjoy the economical fruits of victory, should spend some of the blood cost as well as the white nations. Step- hen Pichon, France's ex-foreign min- ister, and John Stuart Thomson, are the two leading publicists who re- comm-nd Japan being brought in, and the Mayor of Tokio has come out in agreement. Mr. Thomson's poem to his moth- er, who died when she was only 27 vears old. appears on page 75 of his book, "Estabelle," and is particu- larity praised by the Boston Trans- cript. { The Man on Watch | The recruiting officers are not wearying of well-doing even if they can only raise one man a week.
