The Toronto Weekly Sun is fain to say that if James Carruthers' * phrase comes {rue, that "population is Canada's greatest need," then the more population we have the more foodstuffs will cost, unless a portion of the increase is passad ck to the farms: The net public debt at the end of January had risen to $1,362,574,- 000, and is mounting -at the rate of thirty millions a month.

The Governor-General-if-Council has proclaimed Sunday, Feb. 16th, "a day of humble prayer and interc {sion to Almighty jod that His bless- ings may rest upon the Peace Con- ference, and that under His direction and guidance its deliberations and conclusions may result in the estab- lishment of a world wide peace on a just and permanent foundation." The last proclamation of a day of prayer called the people of Canada to offer praise and thanksgiving te God for victory and the cessation of hostilities. We are now reminded that our diplomats are engaged in the superhuman task of concluding a world-wide peace, the fruit of stu- pendous sacrifice, and our prayers {are needed jhat they may have the strength that divine wisdom alone can give. This brings us face to face with the momentous possibilities that a day, aye an hour, may usher in; and as a Christian people we must seek a continuance of God's favor in the negotiations for peace. "This is needed, too, in the solution of the many great. problems now confront- ing the Allied nations themselves. Conditions at home are not what they were before the great upheaval. Men are everywhere in a state of agl- tation neyer felt before. To teach virtue by practising it is the only means by which we can hope to stem the revolutionary current. Material wealth if distributed would leave the régipients 'in a mediocrity akin to poverty, but moral wealth increases just in proportion as it is distributed.

Woe is me! I wish I had zwei beers!" Another says he's full of pep, he goes to work with active step, and chops down lordly oaks; the peasants hear his ax blows ring, they e him dance and smile and sing, and hear his sprightly jokes. One says through all his days and nights he sits in gloomy state and writes, as | though he wrought for pelf; but what he writes no! man may guess; if he were agked he might confess he doesn't know himself.
