Roasts Daily 'New: apers. "Had there been a religious daily newspaper in every 'city, run as Christ would have run it, and along the lines laid down by Charles M. Sheldon, this. war would never have taken place---could never have hap- pened," said Rev, R. D. Hamilton, speaking to "his Welland avenue Methodist congregation. in St. Cath- arines on "Literature's Place in Mak- ing a Life." 'Of course we couldn't do without the daily newspapers," said Mr. Hamilton, "but I must say that the daily newspapers in itself is not what we should bring up a family on. We have got to have other reading sandwiched in somewhere. Well, 1 sandwich in the daily newspaper. We need the daily paper and can hardly wait till we see it to get the war news, but some things it prints as news is not what Christian people should read. Charles M. Sheldon contended that there were many things which the public had no right to know about, and he proved this | when he ran the Topeka, Kansas, paper for six days." Mr. Hamilton did not undertake to say just what he considered objectionable in the daily news and what he considered news fit to read, but left that to the Judgment of his congregation. Allied Art at Ottawa. When the new Parliament Build- ings are completed at Ottawa one of the many unique features which are proposed is a series of pictures to be contributed by allied governmekits in the present war. It is suggested that the leading artists of the world, as representing these nations, should put on canvas their conception of the war, and that the collection should be symbolical of the conflict and what it represents. They would not necessarily depict battlefield scenes. French, Russian, Italian, Serbian, and Roumanian, as well as British artists, will, if their governments agrée, collaborate in this work, pro- ducing ia respect to theme and color a uniform collection, which should be ome of the art treasures of the world. The paintings will be placed in the Aleoves of the Semate. 2 Swedish Scientists, Swedish scientists are producing a new fertilizer by treating feldspar or another mineral base of potassium with au suitable amount of carbon. ol Bull Worth $11.000.
