H. Herrington, K.C., Napanee. The British Empire and the ties that bind the Empire together was the subJ8¢t of a very inferesting ad- wanis Club on Tuesday by Mr. W. 8. Herrington, K.C., of Napanee. That it Was not political or com- mercial ties, blood relationship, the force of arms, the compactness of the Empire or love or respect for the King that held the Empire to- gether, but rather the qualities of the head, heart and soul of the Eng- lishman, was stressed by the speak- er. No nation could be greater or less than the people comprising fit, he safd" This was a time when it would be quite appropriate to deal with a sub- ject such as "The British Empire," said Mr. Herrington, but he did not propose to outline her wonderful history, her vast resources or her greatness in field of learning. He rather proposed to discuss the sub- ject of why there was a British Em- pire. Mr. Herrington gave his hearers a panoramic view of those parts of the British Empire enjoying self- government' and pointed out that each of these countries had different problems to face than any of the countries in the Empire and that in the case of Canada, different sec- tions of the country had their pecul- far problems. In view of these facts he thought it strange that these countries should all be joined to- gether, and he directed his enquiry toward finding the cause. The speaker compared the British Empire to the United States, that other great mass of English-speak- ing people, but he found many dif- ferences. The people of the United States were all settled in one part of the world and were all governed from one central point, whereas the British Empire was scattered over the globe and each country govern- ed itself, In examining the many causes which might be responsible or partly responsible for the unity of the Brit- ish Empire, Mr. Herrington was con- vinced that political ties had noth- ing'to do with the matter as each country in the Empire stayed strict- ly out of the politics of each of the others. Also, he pointed out that it could not be commercial ties, as Canada traded to a greater extent outside the Empire than within it. England did not maintain even a policeman in any of the principal parts of the Empire with the excep- tion of India, so the speaker deduc- ed that force of arms was not the unifying element. While all loyal subjects for the office.of King and for the person of the King, Mr. Her- rington did not think that even this was the true solution of the matter. He was convinced that it was the qualities of head, heart and hand of the Englishman that sUpplied the mysterious power to hold these countries, with their diversified in- terests, together, In no other country than England could be found such a profound re- spect for law and order, said Mr. Herrington. He asked what other country could have .come through the récent general strike without riots and bloodshed. Closely akin to this was respect for those who ad- ministered the laws and confidence in their form of government, stated the speaker. Other qualities mentioned by Mr. Herrington as being possesséd bythe Englishman and as contributing to- ward the greatness of the British Empire were the sacredness of the home and of the marriage ties; re- spect of children for their fathers and mothers; respect for all things sacred; and the chivalrous spirit of the Britisher in battle, in trade, In sport and in social life. This spirit of British fair play was recognized the world over, said Mr. Herring- ton. : Mr. Allen Meiklejohn moved a vote of thanks on behalf of the club.

T HOLDS BRITISH |COMMITTEE WORK AT THE CONPERENCE {Report of Settlement Commit= tee Expected Near Close of the Conference. | Although the sessions of the an- {nual meeting of the Bay of Quinte |Conference of the United Church of Canada do not open until Wednes- {day evening, at 8 o'clock, when the |Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be served in Sydenham Street Church, the committee work is now {under Way. On Tuesday evening the settle- ment committee of the conference, of which Rev. Dr. W. T. G. Brown is convendr, met in Chalmers United {Church. It is not expected that any list of changes will be announced un- til near the close of the conference, as there is so much work to be handled by the committee, Under the old system, in the | Methodist Church, it was the cus- {tom to publish the first and second draft. ! The system has been so changed that instead of the stationing com- mittee, there is a settlement com- mittee. Churches have 'the right to call a minister. If the churches do not call a minister, the settlement committee has the power to place a minister on a charge for the period of one year. If the minister wants to make a change, he applies to his Presbytery, and the same applies in the case of the people wanting to change their pastor. The statistical committees met "in Sydenham Street Church on Tues- {day evening. The statistical secre- |tary of Conference, Rev. Dr. C. D. | Baldwin, has been working very hard for weeks, with the result that he is ready to make his report at the opening session of conference. The teport, which has been typewritten, is a very fine piece of work and the secretary is to be complimented on {his excellent work. : The maintenance and extension fund committee also had a session on Tuesday evening, at Sydenham street church.
