Mobilization days may come and £0, but the poetry of the Worid war shows a totally different wiewpoint from that of any previous war, and indicates that fundamental changes for the better are taking place in the hearts and minds of men, opinion of a world-war poet who writes in the Osteopathic Magazine for September, under the heading, "The New Elizabethans." The writer of the article is Tom Skeyhill, who points out that the poets of the World war were fighting men, who wrote in a loftier strain than did the poets of old, of love of country, pride of race, comradeship, righteousness, and of the new order that was to come after the war and of which they saw promise all around "They com- pletely effaced their own joys and fears," he writes, "and sang instead the ideals of a newer day which they were willing and eager to consum- mate with their own heart's blood." Skeyhill believes that great move- ments first betray themselves in lit- erature, and in the poems which he quotes from soldier-poets of Eng- land, Canada, Australia and the United States, he finds 'something 9weet and thrilling, something that promises hope and happiness for the future." Though formerly himself a writer of verse, Skeyhill devotes his time now to the lecturé platform. He is best known perhaps for his address, '""The Trojan Way," in which he pic- tures vividly the ill-fated British at- tack on the Turkish fortrees at Galli- poli, the object of the address being to picture war in such frightful guise that his hearers will be consecrated to the cause of peace. It was at Gallipoli that Skeyhill lost his sight, which was later re- stored by osteopathic adjustment. Kingstonians will remember him as a lecturer with the Chautauqua organ ization here in the summer of 1923. THE CHALICE OF ANTIOCH. Some Arabs unearthed it in 1910, after it had lain forgottan for six- teen hundred years, ever since one of the later Roman empercras had beheaded its guardian for refusing to reveal its hiding place. Years of study which have since be2n dwvot- ed to this great chalice have now culminated in a beautiful book which sells for the astonishing price of one hundred and seventy-five dol- lars. The evidence coMected in this book goes to prove thai the chalice {s the most remarkable Christian re- lic/ known, for though the cup itself is perfectly plain, its carved. base displays what are probably authen- tic portraits of Christ and of several disciples. It the fifty-seven garlands which surround it represan: years, then the chalice was conswucted in 69 A.D. At that time inost of the persons represented om it were stil! alive or else portraits or re iable de- scriptions could easily be got. As the art critic, Mr. P. GG. Konody, says in the London "Ob- server:"--'"The strong {individual characterization, so different from the conventional types adopted by a later period, speaks strongly in fa- vor of the theory that we have here actual portraits. The Christ is re- presented twice, once as a youth, once as the Saviour His beardless face is not of Jewish type, and His hair is short, without locks. The St. Peter and St. Paul correspond in the most striking way with the ear- ltest portraits of these Apostles in the Catacombs. St. Luke is charac- terized as Greek by the band around his head and by the lack of hair- lock as well as by his distinctly Greek features. St. James the Les- ser, of whom Eusebius says that he was always dressed in linen, never in wool, is identifiable by the linen garment, St. Mark, who was a water- carrier in his youth, is giveu a rus- tic appearance, with enormously de- veloped shoulders, hips, legs and feet. Every single portrait creates a strong impression of having been done from life." This relic is now in New York, whither so many treasures find their way, and is doubtless accessible to those who care to admire so beauti- ful and venerable a relic. A RARE SEASON. What is so rare as a day in June, except it be an autumn day? A fair fall day combines every- thing that is best in weather. It boasts of a bright and hot sun. It lays claim to a crisp and invigorat- ing air. Its skies are untainted by mist or dull cloud. The day is de- void of summer's oppressive heat and humidity, of the dampness of spring and of the chill of winter. Above all, it forebodes a cool, re. Creshing evening and a night of sound slumbers. ' It only needed improved highways to make autumn the most popular season for motoring. More pleasure cars take to the open road on a Sunday in the fall than in the mia. dle of the summer vacation season. The reason is that driving is mord comfortable in the fall when the heat is not s6 intense. For a hike over the hills and inte the valleys there is no other time of the year so perfectly suited as autumn. There are no direct beams of the sun to exhaust you and "nat ure's garb is never more beamtiful. in the There is a charm In the open known | place; and their departure will be only to the fall of the year. regretted by all classes of the in- Autumn's one defect is her prox- habitants.

'The police ought to keep a sharp FACT VS. FAITH. This controversy between -eligion | and sciencé, about the history of evo- lution, simmers down to the problem of how much one is willing to accept "on faith." The scientists claim that religion is based on faith rather than on proved fact. But does it ever occur to these scientists that at least 95 per cent. of their scientific knowledge is also based on faith? For instance, every scientist will take oath that the skull of a creature known as the Java Ape Man, sup- posed to be half a million or so years old, exists--having been reconstruct- ed from fragments But how many scientists have actually seen this skull? Belief In this skull is entire- ly a matter of faith--credulously accepting the word of others. We're all like the scientists, in that 95 per cent. of what we "know" is accepted on faith alone. How do you know that there is a country] called China? Were you ever there to see with your own eyes? Most of us have never seen China, but we be- lieve it exists. Faith in the word of others makes us believe nearly everything we class as knowledge. Studying chemistry, | we are told that water is a combina- tion of hydrogen and oxygen--and we accept this as true, on faith. Scientists "swore by" the authentic- | ity of the Cardiff Giant--believed in | it, many of them, because they had faith in it--until the glant was ex- posed as a "planted" hoax by P. T. Barnum. The world is so big that a man travelling constantly for 100 years would see only a small fraction of the whole before he died. With this handicap, it is quite natural that nearly all of our knowledge is ac- cepted on the basis of faith. Faith is one of the mightiest forces in life. Faith is just as much present in science as in religion. All theories are eventually proved false--from Columbus knocking out the scientific theory that the earth was flat, to Einstein proving that parallel lines do meet if indefinitely prolonged. The history of science is a history of exploded convictions and shattered faiths. ' | ave . nt oa SEPTEMBER 19. Lord Sydenham, the "merchant- pacificator of Canada," who accom- plished the union of the two pro- vinces of Upper and Lower Canada, died on this day in 1841, just after that union was successfully con- sumated. Two years previously, Lord Sydenham, then just. Mr. Charles Poulett Thompson, arrived in Can- ada to press for a reunion of the provinces. He was a plain uatitled Englishman, a civilian, but wel: versed in business and finance. Soms of Canada's most vexing problems were those pertaining to national revenue and expenditure, so his ex- perience was doubly valuable. At the time when the administration of Canada was placed in his hande, he bad the choice of two posts, that of Chancellor of the Exchequer in Great Britain or Governor of Can- ada. He loved the country in which he was working and so chose the lat- ter and was sworn in as Governor on February 10th, 1841. He was at once wise and vigorous, and the country which he, had found fuM of distrust and internal strife, he left united, peaceful and prosperous. He achieved a notable reputation in Canada and was keenly attached 'o the country. It was a sad time for Canada when Lord Sydenham was fatally injured by a fall from a horse, and there was netion-wide grief at his death. He asked that his body be allowed to remain in Can- ada, and consequently he was bur fed at Kingston, which he had sel- ected as a capital.

When we see what our health officers are doing for us in a general way, it certainly commands our admiration. They watch the water and milk supply, and a case of Typhoid Fever immediately starts an investigation as to its source. The streets and lanes clean, and garbage burned. Any Intectious disease causes a placard to be placed on the door of the home, and the inmates avoid contact with other people. Now what is the result of all this? | That those diseases that the pub-| lic health official has to do with are decreasing, the deaths from them grow fewer in number every year. are kept removed and Particularly in children's diseases, | do we see the wonderful result of their work. With hundreds, yes thousands of children in some school buildings, an epidemic of measles, scarlet fever or diphtheria is lable to break out at eny time. But with the first few cases, such is the efficiency of the system, the, epidemic is soon under control. The net result is that, as I said above, the deaths from children's diseases have decreased in number to a most satisfactory extent. How-| ever, the lesson to me in all this: is that it is unfortynate that the public health official 'can't go right into your office, home, or factory, and tell you how to avoid the ail- ments that come on in middle or! later life. What do I mean? Well, although the deaths among children from infectious diseases are decreasing, the deaths from simple infections in middle or later life, public mumps, , KINGSTON'S ONE PRICE CLOTHING HOUSE i SATURDAY SPECIALS BIBBY'S "The Most Becoming Suit : You Ever Had" his best in blue serge, especially in the fashionable, easy-fitting z+ VENDOME ?
