The speaker pointed out that at the present time we have before us a great spiritual task of re-shaping a | Juster relationship between man and | man. He interpreted human as re- | lated by divine nature to God, and] seemed to have loved the least, and | the lowest and the lost.

Christ did not | suffer at the hands of the Bolsheviki | or Pilate, but it was the chief priests, | the scribes and elders of the peaple | who took counsel to put Him to] death. Christ's clash with the] pharisees was specific and concrete | on His part and on their part. There are just pharisees to-day who out- wardly observe their religion, but put in six days a week skinning their fellow-men. -- Complimented the Whig. Hon. J. Stitt Wilson, in his address on Thursday evening, complimented the British Whig upon its report of | his Wednesday evening lecture. He | sald that the writer understood and |! erpressed his meaning. He was of' ten misunderstood, and explained that he was a cartoonist " who drew | word pletures, and his illustrations } were intended to impress his mean- | ' ing and not to be considered as being in themselves the important part of his address. At the conclusion of the address, | Principal Bruce Taylor announced that Mr. Wilson would speak Friday afternoon, and not in the evening as | originally arranged. He said that in the ordinary college pursuits the at- tention of the students was focused | upon theirdttidies, and it was a great | privilege £0 henry Mr. Wilson speak | upon the real things of life.

The announcement was also made that the government would abandon its war bonuses for civil servants in favor of a scale of increased salaries over and above general raises and promotions re- commended by the Civil Service Com- mission on a merit basis, POLISH TROOPS PURSUE BOLSHEVIK They Have Taken Many Pris- oners and Big Amount of Booty. (Canadian Press Despateh) Warsaw, Jan. 30.--Polish troops continue to pursue the Bolsheviki, according to a staff communication received here. They have reached the Blysayne and Sarjanki River.

One person was injured. the Near East Relief, writing to the { Toronto Globe, under date of Janu- ary 23rd, from New York, explains {just how the Armenians receive sup- plies for which Canadians are giving 80 generously. One sentence of Mr. Vickrey's letter is worth more than the usual emphasis. "This work," he writes, "for the most part is not merely a question of improving the conditions of the people. It is the actual saving of lives of thousands who would otherwise perish." Other portions of the letter read: "We. deeply appreciate the go-opera- tion of Canada in this effort, "We recognize that Canada during the past four years has poured forth its treasure both of lives and of money in a way that has challenged the rest of the world, and we accept this latest expression of Canadian generosity as both an inspiration and a challenge to contribute more large- iy of our resources to help meet the world's need. "As you doubtless know, arrange- ments have been made whereby some of our good Canadian associates in the Near East, including Dr. F. W. MacCallum, the assistant treasurer of our committee; Dr. W, Nesbitt Cham- bers, and Dr. Alexander McLachlan, will be authorized to draw directly from Constantinople upon the Can- adian Bank of Commerce and will realize upon this draft in Constanti- nople, making the money immediate ly available for relief work.

(Canadian Press Despatch) Ottawa, Jan. 30.--One of the most {mportant measures to come before Parliament at the coming session is the franchise act. It is understood that this will embody redistribution, butionly to the limited extent. It is known that it is the intention of the Government to follow more closely the lines of representation by popu- 'ation than has been done in the past. This will necessarily mean that rep- asentation of the larger centres of -he population will be increased. '| tions.

C., leading counsel 'for the crown in trial of the seven remaining Winnipeg strike-leaders charged with seditious conspiracy. In making his address to the jury at the opening session of the trial to- day, Mr. Andrews sald that the crown will urge that this case was brought down to test the legality of the one big union and a general strike which was used to demon- strate the solidarity of labor; that the strike had the public by the throat. Mr. Andrews declared the reason why the one big union was unlawful was because its avowed purposes were to abtain its ends by mpelling the force of massed ac- which we are forced to pass," said | ! the minister of agriculture, Herr | !1€ Sum of $1,000 be provided for Brauen, in the Prussian Diet to-day | he expenses of his lordship in at- in connection with she food debate. tnding this conference.
