In other words, Galileo was not wrong when he recanted and said the sun moved round the earth." With such statements Prof. A. S. Eve, director of the Physics Depart- ment of McGill University, kept --a large audience keenly interested in Convocation Hall Wednesday night. The lecture, which was attended by the Queen's Theological Alumni, was arranged by the university's lecture committees and Col. Macphail presided. The subject of the lecture, which included lantern slides, was "The Limitations of Science,' and he showed how impossible it is for the science of men to reach ultimate knowledge on any subject. A sim- ple ball and string pendulum could not be set up for study without bringing into relation its stand, the table, the earth and the whole uni- verse. The sun's pull on the earth was as easy to explain as a horse's pull on a cart; the connecting trace being made up of parts quite sepa- rate from each other. Science could not define what was real, nor what matter is. Space was a concept in the mind and could mot be separat- ed from time. The wave theory of light that had stood for generations is being strongly rivalled by a new theory. "It is too easy for people to accept a theory or statement because it has stood for a couple of hundred years," sald the gpeaker. "Even civi- lizgption changes every 150 years. War today would be a much differ- ent thing than in 1914. It is not fair to say that matter can't be de- stroyed when thinking of the uni verse. We can't only say that it is true in our own world." Words of commendation for the address were spoken boy Principal Taylor and Dean Clark. At the afternoon sefsion of the conference officers were re-elected as follows: President, "Rev. D. W. Best, M.A., Bowmanville; vice-presi- dent, Rev. D. C. Ramsay, M.A. Belleville; secretary-treasurer, Rev. A. J. Wilson, B.D., Napanee. The following executive committee was appointed: The members of the Theological College staff, Dean Ma- theson, Dr. MacClement, Rev. T. J. 8. Ferguson, Rev, G. A. Brown, Rev. Dr. R. H. Bell and Rev. W. H. Raney, all of Kingston. Thursday morning's session heard the third of Prof. Maclver"s lectures, his subject being "The Church and the State." The second part of the programme was given over to an ad- dress by Rev. C. F. Mcintosh, B.D. of Campbeliford, on "The Book of Revelation: Principles of Interpre- tation." The programme for the afternoon was an address by Rev. A. W. McIntosh, B.A., Pembroke, on "New Testament Preachers and Preaching." On Thursday evening the confer- ence will he the guests of the fa- ulty players, who will present two short plays. AGRICULTURE AND--. HOME ECONOMICS Are to Be Taught In Three Months' Course at Har= rowsmith. ' It is expected that about sixty young people will attend the school of elementary agriculture and home economics which is to be held in Harrowsmith commencing Dec. 1st and lasting for three months. This course is being held under the man- agement of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Frontenac Branch and A. W. Sirett, the local agricul. tural representative will be primei- pal of the school. It has been arranged that the ses- sions for the girls will be held in Methodist church hall and the Wo- men's Institute at Hsrrowsmith has | made all arrangements. The town hall which is being furnished by the | township council will he used by the men. The school coursé is absolute- ly free. . The subjects which the young PLAYING THE SNEAK AGAIN. The Princess street newspaper has resumed its silly habit of writing letters to itself in an effort to die- parage the Whig, but only gets the laugh out at the golf links, in the Frontenac Club ang every vhere else. The Whig had hopad thai after its recent reproof the Standard Ww: uld quit its sneaking ways and' {urn over a new leaf. Apparex:ly I's lacs a bad hebit dificult to over) ue, Put we have hopes of yet seeing our contemporary acting more manly and discarding its nasiy ways. The Whig was never wut vut to be a hyp- ocrit. Goodness know, it has somg faults, but it could not be a sreak and get behind peopls's backs to throw mud. Perhajys we are tuo outspoken, but we will be forgiven for that, The Standar} should not feel so gore because ta2 Whig is con- tinually beating it on biz news. The biggest scoop pulled off in years in Kingston. was some months ago when the Whig gave the story of the Campbell bequest of $318,000 to the Kingston Geperal Hospital. We must keep up our stride and simply | cannot lag behind. THE KOTOW CHORUS. We know that this continued war of words between the Kingston daily papers is tiresome to our readers. The Whig is just as tired of it. But when a sheet whioh carries the name of newspaper is so desperate- ly hard up for support that ft must kiss the feet of cer- tain sections of the community and try by every possible means-- even to writing letters to itself--to curry favor with that section, it is s0 disgusting that we cannot re- frain from comment. The Whig is the friend of Queen's university. On its board of directors and staff are graduates and former students of Queen's. The university officials and staff are numbered among the Whig's best friends. And when some occurrence of public in- terest occurs at the umiversity it is reported as such a thing at any oth- er institution would be. There Is neither favor nor prejudice showa. When the Queen's football team plays away below its form we do not consider it to the advantage of the university to give it a stick of candy. In Montreal om Saturday last the most down-in-the-face individual in the Mount Royal hotel lohby after fhe game was the editor-in-chief of the OM Lady on Princess street. He thought it was awful, Yet his paper has not courage to print the honest beliefs of its representativés but must hide all that and skip it over for fear of the wrath of Queen's university, On Wednesday the 4th Hussars, after a long and hard battle through- out a season in which their support from the city was shameful, went to Cobourg to play off for the cham- plonship of Ontario. No representa- tive of the Standard appeared at the game. It was not of sufficient import- apoe because the club is "only a lit- tle one." . A few weeks ago the Hussars gent a general appeal out for money to ald the team, The city council donated, the Kiwanis Club donated, and, joke of jokes, the Standard acknowledged it all as if it had secured the donations. Then, when checking-up time came, it was found 'that a certain. public man, apout whose five-dollar donation the Standard had made quite a splash, had failed to leave in his money. The Whig's account of the recent MoGill<Queen's game was for a pur- pose. It was suggested partly by cer- taim players and officials of Queen's who desired a "bracer" for ths foot- bal squad. These are the men whose friendship counts, bit the Standard apparently has neither their con- fidence nor friendship. Meantime 'the British Whig will continue on its way. It will support the big fellow and the little fellow as he deserves, nor will it "kotow" and "scrape" for the big fellow. I does not need to prate all over t front page about 'The Queen's Spifit" for it bas. that spirit--and it 1s eafe to say that a man with 'the Quests spirit never "crawled" for 1 hat Spell Undergarments Defiance To Winter's Icy Blast Comfortable Combinations For Women These good quality gar- ments will give perfect satis- faction.
