There was but one Thapksgiving Day service in the Kingston churches on Monday and that was in Chalmers Presbyterian. The churches gener- ally had allowed the thanksgiving services of Bunday to suffice, leaving the day specially appointed by 'he Canadian government as ofie for rest or pleasure, The fair-sized congre- gation that gathered in Chalmers was representative of Presbyterians, Methodists, Anglicans and Congrega- tionalists, and "he Chalmers minister made the suggestion that the churches should try and get together and hold one big service on Thanks- giving Day in one of the largest of the city's "emples, and not allow the day to pass by the mass of the people failing in giving thanks to the Al- mighty for His bounties, Canadians have so much to be thankful for in comparison with most other nations that it is felt to be our duty to more fittingly observe the day pecially ap- pointed as our national] 'hangsgiving. 243| There is no reason why the Kingston Mindsterial Assoctation, representing the Anglicans, Baptis's, Congrega- tonalists, Methodists and Presbyter- 'ans, should not put Dr. Wilson's sug- gestion into effect by holding a union thanksgiving Service on every Thanksgiving Day hereafter. NEWS CENSORING. In a city pulpit the suggestion Was made that British news in Can- adian newspapers is censored. No- thing is further from fact. The ews may be abbreviated, but there is no- thing In the way of censorship, with English, Scotch and Irish papers following on the heels of the cablas and reaching Canada within seven days. There is no need for such a *| thing as censoring Old Country or European news, except in war time. The Irish murder campaign for Mn- stance was published just as fully 1s necessary, perhaps not with elabor- ate detail, as the Old Countryman in Canada might wish, but it must be remembered that Canadian news- papers have a very wide fleld to cover--in fact Canadian newspapers, the Whig included, 'give a wider news service than the papers of any other country, not even excepting those of Great Britain. : As to censoring news -- many things are censored in a way. All news cannot find its way into print and some does not. Canadian news- papers do not publish details of many unsavory occufrences as some English newspapers do. And Kingston newspapers are often very kind to father, mother, brother and sister who get into trouble and whose names are inscribed upon the books of the chief of police. Canad- fan newspapers must plead guilty wo being a little soft-hearted at times and censoring police news that would make interesting reading; but they do not plead guilty to per- mitting their cable mews to be cen- sored or garbled. A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION. Christmas is not too far away to begin planning for it. Many of the churches have already begun to lay plans for the proper observance of Christ's natal day. There is so much about Christmas coming up with thoughts of it that, if one werd to write, he could easily cover many pages and scarcely know it--and yet, half of this sweetest story would remain untold. What a happy thing it would be this year to pick out somebody you know who ordiparily will not have a happy Christmas--somebody whose life is not all "roses and sunshins;" somebody, whose story has been written with the pen rust of disap- pointment and despairing difficul- ties; somebody, whose soul has been pinched and his heart choked by the circumstances of fate, over which he or she had no control, but who re- mains firm in the conviction that there still 4s a Santa Claus, even though Santa disappeared out of his or her life in childhood forever. Think a little 'and you will see in your mind this man or woman, or mayhap a child. On every side they will be found. If you knew the in side story of that man or that wo- man you do mot 1ike because of "something or other;" perhaps if you would draw a little closer and raise the curtain of their lives, you would stand back in amazement, and then wonder why you had disliked them without knowing why. Per- haps--but why go on? Let us begin mow \to think of some one to make happy this Christe mas--some one who is undoubtedly overlooked in the mad, glad rush. Perhaps this some one may be rich or well-to-do financially; it does not matter, whether rich or poor, make it a point this year to remember some of these unfortunate, unhappy |Canade ims around whose lives fate to have hunga pall. 5 % THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ers during the forty years in which he was book steward of the Methodist church, When he entered 4t, the book pub- lishing business in Canada was a dangerous experiment. Very few in- deed of the firme publishing books in | this country forty years ago still re- madn, fewer still have made money. Yet for many years the Methodist Book Room was more than a going concern. Dr. Briggs had the qualities of a successful publisher, He knew what the public wanted, and he rarely pub- lished a poor seller, .~For example, it was he who sent Robert W. Service's first book out, not for private sale, but upon the sea of public literary criticism; and in doing so his judg- ment was sound, His own broad, tolerant view of life, his freshness of |thought, his genial Irish wit, made kim a real friend 40 struggling Cana- dian writers, who, if they received small returns for their first literary efforts, at least received recognition and a friendship which in later years stood them in good stead. It 48 interesting to recall 'hat in the earlier years of the church union it. But he was not unalterably op- posed, and he fell in with the views of the majority of his church. Had be lived a few years longer he would have found himself at home in the United Church of Canada. ASK COUNGL FOR 35,00 (Continued from Page 1.) Kelly. Both said that the purchase would be a good investment. A by-law was passed, on recom- mendation of the finance committee, providing for the issue of $3,000 de- bentures, in response to the request of the Board of Education, for the improvement of the heating system in the Collegiate Institute and to pro- vide accommodation for increased at- tendance. The debentures will run for twenty years and the yearly amount to be paid will be $265.80. Other Recommendations. The finance committee also recom- mended that the account for the re- moving of a body to Kingston for an inquest early last spring be paid. The account was deferred until the opin- ion of the city solicitor was obtained as to whether the city or the county was liable. The present solicitor re- ported that the city myst pay. This was also the opinion of the late city solicitor, J. L. Whiting. Accordingly the council ordered payment of the account, These other recommendations of the finance committee were passed: .
