Principal Dyde, D.D., preached a powerful sermon Sunday evening in +:Zion Presbyterian church on "Am I My. Brother's Keeper?" and the ans- wer to that question, which is to be found in the characteristics of "the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven," spok- | en of in Revelation, 21st chapter. This city is not heaven, but cometh down from God out of heaven, and | might be Kingston if we loved God with all the powers of our soul, and our neighbor as ourselves Speaking on prohibition, Dr. Dyde said that just as there is no explicit { condemnation of slavery in the Bible, | so there is no explicit condemnation of the liquor traffic; but there is a | statement of principles which makes | it impossible for one to be indifferent | to his neighbor's well-being.-- 'What is true Christian. berty?" Not do- | ing as one pleases. That would re- i sult in a bad condition of things. In { "the holy city," where God is the chief citizen, one would take into [consideration the general good of the community. The apostle goes so {far as to say 'We then that are strong ought to bear infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves." Each one should seek especially to please God. Doing as one pleases may | result in thé works of the flesh and |in the debasement of onesself and {the community; doing as God | pleases, and Jesus teaches, { means service to our fellows and the ennoblement of ourselves, A slum in a city is a discredit to all its citizens, for all are responsible. Lloyd George says it is as great a disgrace as the loss of a battle. We do not discharge our duty as citizens unless we seek to abolish the slum and that which makes slums. To tol- erate such poisons our owp souls. It we wish to make Kingston that "holy city" we must seek to please God and to be of the highest service to our neighbor. In "the holy city" there are no slums nor slum souls, as referendum. '"'But it is not enough," he said, 'to banish drink. We all need spiritual life. need to get in living touch with the Lord Jesus." Principal Dyde closed with a vedy graphic picture of his boyhood days when he watched the village fire be- ing fought with the old-fashioned hand. Boys were not tall enough to assist in the pumping. Often he had said, "When I am a man, I will be able to help." In 'the holy city," when a fire breaks out in a neighbor's house, every man will be ready to také a hand at the pumps; to sacri- fice self, it need be, for the good of his neighbor and the glory of God. ---------------- QUEEN'S PAYS ITS TRIBUTE To the Memory of the Late Lamented George Y. Chown. A memorial service was held in Grant hall, Sunday afternoon, when a large number gathered to pay tri- bute to the memory of the late George Y. Chown. Rev. Dr. D. Gor- don read the scripture lesson and Dr. W, G. Jordan offered prayer. At the close of the service Dean Starr pronounced the benediction. Principal Taylor said, in referring to the death of the late Mr, Chown, that the sad news had cast a gloom over the university. Everything the late registrar had done was for the good of Queen's, and it will not be until the history of the university is written that the share he took in its making will be known. The speaker traced associations with the leaders of the university for. the past forty years and in his death there passes one who knew of the struggles of Queen's. When in his company you knew you were in the presence of a man of great power and personality. Dr, Taylor raid that when be came to Queen's he found Mr. Chowan more of a friend than a colleague. No one will ever know how much hea did to help the students, and the number to whom he supplied funds to enable them to obtain an educa- tion, will never be known. He was a humble man and would never ac- cept the distinctions which the uni- versity had wished to bestow on aim. Always deeply interested in educa- tion, it is to be regretted that he did not live to see the fruits of the search chair which he founded. The late G. Y. Chown was.a man who was constantly open to misunder- standing, and some men thought him unsympathetic but they did not really know that he had the needs of the university most deeply in his heart. His largeness of heart is exsmplitied in the way he helped the returned soldiers and the numerous instances he assisted struggling stu- dents. \ In conclusion Dr. Taylor said that Queen's has many loyal sons, but Mr. Chown had abilities ' not always found in college life, and the univer- sity should be thankful that he had lived for it. "ae Medical Men Object To Being Bartenders Winnipeg, March 7.--Through re- solution to be moved in the legisla- ture by Dr. R. J. Waugh, M L.A., for Norfolk, the medical profession of Manitoba will ask to be relieved of the responsibility of administering the Manitoba temperance act. | According to Dr. Waugh, the pre- sent act places the medical profes- sion in the position of bartenders for the province, On this basis, Principal Dyde made i a strong appeal in support of the | Therefore we | fire-engine, which was pumped by | Bowdea Informs Board of Education | on the Salary | Question, -- - ! The following is a copy of the let-! | ter received by the members of the Board of Education, from William C. | Mitchell, president of the Ontario [Secondary School Teachers' Fed-! eration, and read at the meeting of | the board Thursday night: 1 "The Boards of Education through- | out Ontario have experienced in late | years great difficulty in securing | | teachers of experience. Many are | compelled .to employ unqualified | teachers. This is due chiefly to in- | adequate salaries, Graduates of our | universities will not undertake the | | exacting and arduous duties of 'the | | teaching 'profession, unless the sal- | aries, in connection with the incomes | { from other professions, are attrac- | | tive. The Board of Education in | | co-operation with the teachers, will | ! render a service of unestimable value ! | to the public, if the best brains are | | attached to remain in the profession, | To assist in accomplishing this, the | | members of the federation, compris- | | ing praltically all the teachers in the | f Seconqzry Schools of Ontario, have | | agreed: | { 1. No member of this federation | | shall apply to fill a vacancy in a con- | { tinuation school for a salary less than | | thirteen hundred dollars, | 2. No member of this federation | shall apply to fill a vacancy in a high | school or collegiate institute, situat- | ed in a rural district, village or town, | for a salary less than seventeen hun- dred dollars. 3. No member of this federation | shall apply to fill a vacancy in a high school or collegiate institute, situated in a city for a salary less than two thousand doHars. The sympathetic support of the members of the board will be great- ly appreciated, for, between them and the teachers, complete harmony must. be maintained, if the highest standard of educational efficiency is to be the goal. THE LORD KENS BEST. (A Scottish New Year's card that will please Scottish readers). {The Lord kens best, And so [ rest, In His love weel content ; | For this I find, God aye is kind, | Whatever may be sent. | In mony ways, through mony days, God seeks me, to be blest, And aye I see a' comes to me In love, for He kens best. PROBS: Tuesday, south-east winds; sleet or-rain When ane by ane my friends hae gane | Awa' to their long rest ; +I lippen still, since 'tis God's will, And He kens what is best. Whatever ails God never fails 'When He's put to the test, So come what may, aye this I say, The Lord Himself kens best. --D. HONEYMAN, Thomson, 41 Argyll Arcade, Glas- gow. To Remain in Picton. It has been almost definitely de- cided that Rev. Alfred Brown, D.D., of Picton, who was formerly pastor of Sydenham Street Methodist church, Kingston, and for the past four years has had charge. of the Methodist work in Picton, will re- main there for another year. The boards considered the matter last week, and will-ask conference to al- low Dr. Brown to remain for the fifth year. Since taking over the work in Picton, Dr. Brown has done a wonderful work, and the members of his congregation will be delighted if conference will permit him to re- main for another year. For years the Methodist work in Picton was carried on in two churches, but a few years ago one church was closed and the members amalgamated with the church of which Dr. Brown is pastor, The bell from the Methodist ! church, which was closed when the | two churches united, has been sent to be erected in a mission ¢hurch in China, It is expected that in a few days word will be received of its safe arrival in China. A CHILD'S LAUGHTER. All the bells of heaven may ring, All the birds of heaven may sing, All the wells on earth may spring; All sweet sounds together; Sweeter far than all .things heard, Hand of harper, tone of bird, Sounds of woods at sundown stirred, Welling water's winsome word, Wind in warm wan weather. One thing yet there is, that none Hearing ere its chime be done Knows not well the sweetest one Heard of man beneath the sun, Hoped in heaven hereafter; Safe and strong and loud and light, Very sound of very light Heard from morning's rosiest height, When the soul of alt delight Fills a child's clear laughter. - Golden bells of welcome rolled Never forth such notes nor told Hours so blithe in tones so bold As the radiant mouth of gold Here that rings forth heaven. If the golden-crested wren Were a nightingale--why then ething seen and heard of men Might be half as sweet as when Laughs a child of seven.
