Dr. Craig read a reference to the Bishop of London from an English paper. The bishop had been ap- proached by an financial magnate on his way from Manchester, who had sald, "Unless yon Christians can get a different spirit in the hearts of the people, we can do nothing," This was the idea of a man who was in close touch with one side of the situation. g We know that the life we all have a right to enjoy can be made un- bearable by wrong labor cound:ilons. Here Dr. Craig touched on ths sweat shop and its horrors and spoke of Hood's "Song of the Shirt," more or less applicable today. The word seen most often in the press, and used most often in public, was, he believ- ed, "labor". But the work "labor was a degraded term for work, Let us first remember that God is the supreme worker, We think of him as omnipotent. But omnipotence means power to fulfill our purpose. Christ could have come down from the cross, but no, He fulfilled His pur- pose. The man or woman withont work is unhappy. We most of us, work so hard and so incessently that we dream of being free to do as we will. "As Ibose beads with no string run through." But work develops us, it it is work, under proper condi tions and we who work have, most of us, some one we love to work for, that consecrates our work. "I say to you, although as vet I do not know you that if there are any of you here .who haves not to work to make a livelihood, find some useful work to- do. Rea] life with- out work is impossible." The first disciples were, many of them slaves who their masters could and did, throw at will to the monsters in the ® ponds of the gardens. And they, in the glory and the presence of God, lived a life of joy and peace, At the poffertory the anthem "King All Glorious" was sung, the: solos being taken by Mr. C. B S.

Sir: Will you allow me through your valuable columns to set be. fore the ratepayers of the County of Frontenac a 'few things in connee- tion with the contract for sand to be supplied to the county jail for making tile. I would like to point out that at the last meeing of the County Council, the contract for de- livering sand was awarded to me, after the committee had held several meetings, and after the chairman had asked that the committee's re- port be shelved after it had reached the Council! body. That was all right. My tender was accepted by the Council as a whole, and I thought that everything was quite all right, I was somewhat surprised when on Saturday I was notified by a prominent county official to "bring In a couple of loads of sand next week and then wait till the sand is inspected by County Counciillor Freeman who is coming in to ex- amine it." I cannot understand why it should be necessary for a mem- ber of the Council to make a special trip to examine the sand after a sample of it was submitted to committee and the Council before my tender wag accepted, or why the county should be put to that ex- pense, when there is an official right on the spot who is quite competent to see that the sand is all right. It might be well for thé rate. payers of the County if they kmew more about how some of the sand contractors are hand led, and how their money is not as carefully ex- pended as it might be, but I do not intend to go into detail on that, preferring to wait to see what will be the pesult of the special examina- tiep-of the sand which I will put in at the jail, and just what will be the verdict which Mr. Freeman will pass on it after he has made a special trip from Hartington at the expense of the people of the county. If he condemns the sand, it would open the way to have the last possible market for county-owned sand turn- ed over to the company, of which the engineer is at least gne of the principal owners. Every pther bit of sand bought, for which county money is expended, is sypplied by the Kingston Sand & Gravel Co. Yours truly, R. E. HARPELL. Cataraqui, May "10th, Pn Queen's University (Toronto Globe) Queen's University at Kingston may fairly be described as one of the xia) organs of the body of the edu- cational system of Ontario. It is, and has been since Principal Grant and his able lieutenants first made it so, a power in the land. Queen's has been fortunate in retain- ing able men on her staff although they were paid far less than they could have received for similar ser- vices elswhere. The graduates of Queen's, too, have been loyal to her in an unusual degree, and to this loyalty alone. may be attributed the ability of Queen's to keep her colors fiying at all times. ' The campaign now under way to raise by popular subscription an en- dowment of two and a half million dollars is ome that should succeed. It should have not only the support of the graduates--of this it is as- sured--but of all those who are aware of the thrift and grit with which Queen's, insufficiently financ- ed, has preserved her high ideals and purposes. It is to be hoped that the people of Toronto and of Ontario will rally to the aid of Queen's and that every man -will give as he can and push this endowment campaign to success.
