Presbytery. Montreal, Jan. 23.- all-round indictment tions governing te fession.. was made, by Rev. J W- Woodside, of Ottawa, in adressing the special meeting fof the Mont- real Presbytery in Knox-Crescent church. The fate of ministers suf- fering a breakdown in health and on their retiring after a hard life's work, was shown, and the restric- tions as to the thought and action were also indicated by the speaker as dgbarring high-spirited men from entering the ministry. On agcount of the serious lack of recruits for the ministry he also expressed the opin- ion that a grave mistake had been made in: permitting divinity stu- dents to enroll with the celors. He pointed out that between 1891 and 1896, sixty-two students completed their studies, while between 1911 and 1916 there were only RAfty-sev- en who graduated, and the average number of graduates for the past twenty-five years was only fifty-nine. In the same time preaching stations had increased from 2,606 to 4,478 and the nmuber of dgommunicants from 174,000 to 337,000. "I -am sorry to say that our Pres- byterlan church is drifting Into Congregationalism as far as the minister and individual churches are concerned," said Mr. Woodside. Preachers of distinction were also diminishing in number. For rem- edying of these defects, the speaker suggested that recruits be assured of their future and that women should be admitted te the pulpit and the theological colleges thrown open "to them.

'| Paterhoro OR ING NEARER DAY BY DAY Swiss Professor ls Strong Measures By the Allies Against Bolshevism, MENACE APPEARS MAL TO THIS SWISS JUST RETURNED FROM RUSSIA. or He Has Been Face to Face with Bolshevism and Is Terrified by 'What He Has Seen. New York, Jan. 23.--The Times publishes the following cable from Geneve M. Philippe Jeanneret, the Swiss professor who has just returned from Russia, where he was a 'teacher at the college in Khasan for many years, * joined the Czecho-Slovak corps in Russia ;and had personal experience * in fighting for Bolsheviki. "The organization of the Holshev- ist, army," he says, "has b m ef- fected chiefly by Letts 'and Huan- garfans. In the early days of our campaign the Red Guards were merely bandits, who pillaiged villages and murdering defenseless peasants, but took to their heels when we at- tacked them. But quite suddenly there was a complete change; and we found ourselves opposed to well: disciplined regular troops. "Lenin and Trotsky, + realizing their danger, = had incorporated thousands of Hungarian prisonebs, whom they paid and fed well, in their army, and reorganized it with the help of Lett officers. The Letts and Hungarians--to-day form the backbone of the Bolshevist forces. Lenin and Trotsky draw most of their strength from ®fvonia, which the Allies should occupy without lay if they wish to strike a mortal Blow against Bolshevism in Rus- sia. - "The cruelty and bestiality of the Letts, who hold nearly all the im- portant posts under the Bolshevist Government, surpass belief. The horrors at Khasan, where 250 men, women and children were walled up in a ¢ agd left to starve, were otha by order of the Lett Commi with the Bolshevist army.' After his tragic SABaRioNba, it, 1a natural that the Swiss professor's spirit is overshadowed by the men-' ace, which to him appears very real, of a Bolshevist invasion of Europe. "Take strong measures beforé=it . is too late," he ese advises, "otherwise Europe will once more be plunged in a ses of blood. Here in the west no one seems to dream of danger. Victory and peace have filled everybody with joy and hope, but the last act of the great drama has not yet been played. Those whe, like myself, have been face to- face with Bolshevism, - are terrified by what they see creeping nearer day by day." Foon - HUSBAND AND WIFE DIE OF INFLUENZA Mr. and Mrs. Herbert GQ.
