pg---- © PR N TH FAMILY, Ir WOU LD HEL P TION PURE TO MAKE AND STRONG, ' Forceful Addyess Delivered by Rev, Jordan at. Final Meet. | Pr: W. G, ing of Week of Prayer--Noble | Work of the School Teachers. The need for prayer in the family was emphasized by Rev, Dr. Jordan in a foreeful Rildress. -- ed on Friday night 1. Queen sireet Methodist church at the final gath- ering of the special series of meet- ings for prayer. He dealt with the question of prayer in relation to families, schools and colleges in' a masterly manner. Rev. E. R. McLean, of Cooke's | church, was to have given the ad- dress, but was taken ill"on Friday morning, and could not attend. Dr. Jordan was appealed to, and stepped into the breach, The pastor, Rev. J. D. sided, and there was a large con- gregation present. The choir ably assisted in the musical part of the | programme, while Mrs. J. Evans renderéd a beautiful solo, Thqu My Hand Dear'Lord." Rev. W. T. G. Brown read the Scripture Ellis, pre- lesson, and during the service pray- ic er was offered by Red T. W. Sav- ary, Rev. J. D. Ellis, Dr. Lake, G. A. Bateman and Robert Meek, Dr. Jordan sald that prayer had heen spoken of as the church's vital breath and native air. It was sonfe- thing more, in that it was the life! of the church. The command was not to pray, but rather to keep on | praying. To-day we were reminded in many ways of the power of edu- cation, in the eéfficlency of that great country which was now eur enemy. We could easily see, and more clear- ly to-day, that education was a wonderful thing. We might well talk about the old days, and the ghuiple life, but the problems of day had to be faced, telligence *were required to meet these problems." And to meet the situation men were needed who un- derstood history and life, and at the same time had reverence for God. It had been stated that one could scarcely go into a home in Germany years ago without seeing a photo- graph of a soldier. In this country," under ordinary fonditions, ors wo tid very seldom sée the picture of a sul- dier in the homes. To-day we would, but this had been forced upon us. In Germany these military pie- tures were regarded as splendid. It was 'dn "the family that the.military spirit took root. "I. believe that our nation can be made pure and strong with prayer in the family," said the speaker. "Family prayer should not be lost. I [ear that the noble custom is not se common: to-day as' it used tg.be. The father should get the children around him in the home and pray. The children should be impressed with the beauty and power of reli- gion ih their own home. In the fam- ily you can get at the very heart and root of the matter. "The children go from the family Sto school, and as parents we should carry our gympathy along them, I,do not' know of any class of men or women so important to the life of the nation than the school teachers. And I do not think that they are preperly paid. This is the reason why hundreds of men are not going into this profession, and the work is left for the women, Intelli- gence cannot be adequately paid for, but it can be appreciated, and it should be appreciated more, "The college needs your praye 80 that the teachers may not : have knowledge, but reverence for truth and God. Young men and wo- men come to Kingstor to attend col- lege and stay for three, six and per- haps seven years. I can hardly go a place to breach but I meet some person or persons who recall days 'spent in. this city. Remember that the pupil gets a great deal of edu- cation outside the closs room. Some 'perhaps have not been able to stand the test, but then young people must get owt and mix with others and form a strong mind and character. Buy your gro®eries at Pickering's, !

"cars bearing the warning illuminated are employ- ed. There are no rockets used from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, When the people-have the warning in any of these forms they should at once obey it. 'Warnings are only is- sued after information has been re- | ceived from the military authorities, Adequate cover in the first instance is not so much for pretéction against bombs, but to avoid' the danger of falling shrapnel. very projectile which bursty in the air sedtters five hundred separate bullets or pieces af shell, which, falling to the ground, are just as degdly as rifle-fire, Much depends on the discretion and prompt action of the potice. Lon- don is a vast working - community, and the one object which the enemy has in view is to interrupt business. The policy of the police is fo defeat this purpose by only Issuing warn- ings when absolutely necessary. There is installed at the office of the Commissioner of Policé a vast net- work of telephones which reach all parts of London---all the police sta- tions and sub-stations---and eom- munication id also made by means of column tape printing machines, Or- ders are carried out without delay, as promptitude is all-essential in these matters. The police have also organized a great system of alr-raid shelters---ready-made dug-outs and. bomb-proof buildings.. These cBnsist of tunnels, the Tubes, arches, strong- ly built schools, police stations, ete. Accommodation is found in this way for half a million people, without undue congestion. In addition, there are innumerable private buildings available for the public.--Boston Transeript. 3 Kipling's Son.
