When we try to estimate the chances of the future we shall do well to remember th: power the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of today will exercise over the years to come, A GOOD SIGN FOR ONTARIO. One of the most promising signs for Ontario in ihe United States elec- tions lies in the election of Al. Smith as governor of the state of New York, for it will probably mean a complete reversal in the policy of that sta'e regarding the proposed scheme for the deepening of the St, Lawrence River and the development of the water power of that s'ream. The strongest opposition to the proposal, so far, has come from New York State, and the former' governor, Nathan Miller, was one of its strong- eas' opp ts. On top of the an- nouncement that Al. Smith, the Democratic nominee, has been elect- ed governcr by a huge majority, and that the Democrats have secured a ¥ substantial majority in the represen- tative elected by that state, comes the further announcement that the new governor is strongly in favor of the St, Lawrence scheme. and has been one of its staunchest supporters. The disappearance of the opposi- tion from New York state will have a very material effect on the further- ance of the plans, It will mean that there is a strong possibility of a mutual agreement being reached be- {ween the parties which are most in- terested, the province of Ontario and the state of New York. Just how far the new governor is prepared to go is as yet uncertain, but it is certain that when the metter comes up for consideration and for a possible de- ciglon, it will materially help the proapects of the plan to have t head of affairs In New York state a man who is himself a supporter of 8t. Lawrence development. The future prospects of the scheme ars pow much brighter than they have ever been in the past, and there is a strong hope that the time is very propitious for a definite proposal be- ing made to have it brought to frui- tion. I -------------- SEBASTIAN CABOT. An important addition can now be made to Mr, H. P. Biggarg' interest- ing work' in collecting and editing tie early explorations of "new found lands," as published by the Canad- fan archives, Ottawa, in 1911. A new document has been discovered in England. From the material in hand it was not possible to find any association ,of Sebastian . Cabot ex- cept with his father, John Cabo: 'earlier than 1513. At that date he was in the employ of King Ferdt- nand of Spain as adviser in matters of exploration. ; There has recently been discover- ed, however, a privy seal of Henry VII. under date of 1504--eight years earlier, which connects him on his own behalf with the explorations of that interesting period. At that date he could not have been more than thirty, perhaps only twenty- seven; and had already made voy- ages with his father in 1497. to the coasts of Newfoundland and in 14¥8 down the coast of the mainland of America, as far as Cape Florida. The document of recent discovery and hitherto unpublished is undey the hand and seal of Henry VII. and bears the date of the second day of April in the twentieth year of his reign, i.e., 1504, It orders the col- lectors of customs of the town and port of Bristowe (Bristol) to pay Sebastian Cabot an annuity of £10 sterling, in two equal payments on St, Michael's feast day and on the feast day of the Annunciation of our Lady. Thus lavish were the King's benefactions in the brave days of old.

The executive secretary of | | the publicity department of the coun- | | ell, who is also author of the pamph- let, makes the following observation in broaching the subject: "No one can look a: the news- papers and ines and doubt that it pays to adyertise, Why should not this method of proven efficiency be used for the propagation of the Goa- pel? Advertising-is no: necessarily sensational. It merely seems so be- cause we are not accustomed to it for church purposes. We have thought, of publicity in the news- papers as merely a method of giving {public notice to a service or a meet- ing, or of making public the account of somethitig that has taken place. We are only beginning to think of church publicity in the public press as evangelistic in purpose. The news- papers themselves are far ahead of the church in their recognition of this evangelistic opportunity. Ad- vertising with an evangelistic pur- pose, where the aim is to reach the unchurched, must be in the news- papers." This frank acknowledgemen' of the press by so prominent a church- man, is a recognition of a service which has long been rendered by the newspapers of this country, It is a recognition of the fact that an alli- ance between the pulpit and the press would make a combination. with tremendous possibilities for good, and for the betterment of humanity, In Canada, at least, many of the newspapers have long ago realized shis fact, and have given their ser- vices freely in endeavouring to lead the thoughts of their leaders along the lines of the higher things of life. The church, so far, has taken but a small part In effecting "his much de- sired combination; but the day is not far distant, as is shown by this pamphlet, when the newspapers will he used as a vital factor in creating a new and more potent interest in religious affairs of an inter-denomi- national charactor, Many editors are convinced that the troubles of the world will never be settled until the principles of Christianity and the code set down in the Sermon in the Mount are applied, and they are us- Ing the tremendous influence which they exert in their columns to pre- sent these principles and seek 'heir | application. With the co-operation of the churches in the mariner sug- gested by the Bpiscopalfan council of the United Sates, the value of this service will be 'greatly intensified, and the church dtself will have the greater benefit from the results, » Pe, in A FRE I A WA RAGED FOR THREE HOURS Firemen Had Stubborn Fight to Save the Buildings Close By. A fire raged for three hours on Tuesday night, in the marsh off Rideau street, and a large area, ex- tending from Davis tannery to the pork factory was ablaze and gave the firemen hard work as for a time it was feared that houses on Mont- real street and the pork factory would fall a prey to the flames. ° The firemen were called at 6:30 and it Was 9:30 when they finished their work end returned to the sta- tions, The reflection trom the fire could be seen all over the city, and many anxious inquiries were made about the fire. How the blaze started is a mystery, but it is believed that some person started a fire in the marsh. From time to time this marsh has given the firemen considerable work, At one stage the fire got within three hundred feet of the pork facts ory, but the firemen concentrated all their eflarts in, this direction ana saved the buildipg, and then turned the water into 'the burning marsk again. Water was used around the pork 'factory for an hour steady in order to save the building. The fire- men laid hose twice. Some houses on Montreal stroet, opposite the factory of Kelly & Driver, had a close call.
