It showed plainly that d-right are stronger than the best organized arm- us with the hope that our troubles were at an end, and that humanity had been converted by the struggle through which it had passed. _ : Now we know differently. There is nothing sudden in the conversion of humanity. We cannot turn on the Divine "Light of intelligence, kindliness and honour as we would press the button for the eleatric light It still has to be 'line upon line; precept upon precept ". The new generation must learn the same lessons that have cost us so dear, and the old genera- tion forgets and must be taught afresh. Our steps towards the Great deal, though real, seem very slow to our impatient minds, and we are constantly being enticed from the path of progress by people who profess to be able te show us "short cuts" to our goal of true happiness for all humanity. ~~ Our most difficult lesson is to learn that work, and sacri- fice, and steady plodding are the only essential means of reaching our goal. The world is better than it was; but it is better bechuse of the sacrifice of the men and women who counted not their lives dear unto themselves, when the great principles of honour and freedom were at stake: We can enjoy the privileges these men and women gained for;us for a while; but as surely as we should die of hunger if we neglected the annual seedtime, just so surely shall we have great-tragedies in the world if men and women refuse to prac- tice the homely virtues and mdke sacrifices for the public good. Memory has its great picture gallery, where the master- pieces of history hang--sometimes forgotten. One such pic- ture shows six young Canadians guarding a point on the German front of great strategic value to the Allies. That point of vantage MUST be held. To the Germans the thought was-- that point MUST be destroyed. So.they sent over a gasattack. The young Canadians found that they could not properly work their big gun if they wore gas-masks. To them there was but one course open to take off their masks, and keep the gun going properly." This they did one by one, and the lives of the six yeung rien lasted just twenty-four minutes. 'John Brown's body lies a moulding in the grave, but his soul goes marching on." "What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Falling hands have thrown us the torch. Holding it high to-day is not spectacular. bands playing. We have not even a sargeant to see that we do our duty. It is such a simple, every-day matter, and there are 80 many of us responsible for carrying the torch of civiliza- tion, and holding it high, that the task is apt to be shouldered on to our neighbours and neglected by ourselves. : Armistice Day should remind us of the need of good citi- . ship as a preventative of other great world tragedies. THE GREAT ILLUSION A few years ago Norman Angell wrote a book entitled-- "The Great Illusion" in which the author showed that war was omi impossible. That was ten years ago or more, and eon that time the greatest war of history has been fought-- "but not paid for. . ; Now we are right, and the world was wrong. Take the situation as it stands to-day in the United States. The European countries owe the United States $11,000,000,000. 'The total stock of gold in circulation in' fhe world is about $6,500,000.000. Supposing the European nations possessed all the world's gold supply, they would still be shortsome four and a half billion dollars, if they had to pay their debts to the United, States in gold. Curiously enough, the United States has the bulk of the world's gold supply is in the United States Treasury now, and asa it that country is suffering from financial indigestion. Gold is not wealth, it only represents wealth, Inflated cur- reney is not desirable, if for no other reason than this--people are misled as to the actual wealth of the country, and are apt to become extravagant and comparatively idle. European debt in gold is "impossible, and Py tof the #10 nay gon sirable even if it were possible. do ha There is one other way in which the debt may be paid--in : fo ne oer By Yet if the debt were 'would be flooded with inning to find out that Norman Angell was yy the country !
