Dr, Macdonald has been Over- seas Nearly a Year--Scotch Lost Heavily. In a recent letter to a friend, Capt. (Rev. Dr.) Ian H. Macdonald, pastor of Kintore Presbyterian Church, who has been engaged in Y.M.C.A. work overseas for almost a year, intimates: that he expects to be back to his charge early in January. "J am assured," he writes, "that I shall be released before Christmas ; that means that. I should be in Kin- tore about the first or second week in January. Dr. Macdonald is a son-in- law of Senator Ratz, of New Ham- burg, and is one of the best known clergymen in the London presbytery. He is a native of Scotland and a Gae- lic scholar of prominence. Dr.Macdonald is attached to a wing of the Royal Flying Corps, and writes in part as follows: "If it were not that the lives of human beings were involved, a fight in the air. is the most spectacular show you can imag- ine, but at the same time there creeps over you a horrible feeling that at any moment the mangled bodies of the combatants may lie at your feet, or be burned up before the wreck Istrikes the ground.

These words are not intended to reflect upon any other branch of the British army, for the British Tommy no matter what you may hear to the contrary, is the finest gentleman in Europe. I have met with more thanks for the little I could do for the British Tommies than ever be- fore. When it is raining and the water running out of his boots he meets you with the greeting, "Jolly wet." When you meet him in hot weather on a forced march, with 80 or 90 pounds on his back, and per- spiring as if he had come out of a hot bath, it is all the same, "Jolly hot." Altogether, he is the finest ex- ample of supreme patience and pow- er of endurance, not to speak of his fortitude and courage, I believe the world has ever produced! and if he should unfortunately fail in his great work, the fault is certainly not his, but that of selfish and short- sighted politicians and others.

WAR MEASURES In a recent speech at St. John Mr. Carvell said that the war expenses of Canada next year would be $500,- 000,000, and the ordinary expenses $175,000,000. This is an average of about $450 for a family of five. Such an amount could not, of course, be raised by taxation alone, but increas- ed taxation will be necessary, and Mr. ~The Walls of Jericho 'Some few years ago I read the fol- My |lowing. verse in a prominent jsociety paper: ? Two are dead, the remaining |"What is the news to-day of matters grave and gay, What sort of news do the editors choose, * And what do the papers say. . They say that many fine folks who move in high society Are busy just as busy as busy as can be, : Although considered idle, which idea of course is bosh, . You will find that dirty linen they are are often known to wash." It is now quite a long time since I day it came back to me with redoub- led force and I thought to myself how very applicable it is to-day. For if ever society is,on the downward grade it is the present time and it is upon those who outwardly profess to be such marked christians where the great evil lies. to-date society is the harbinger of evil under whose reign this world has become*as a wanton. I often think to myself what a droll old world this is. We are always prating about mor- ality and yet when a man makes a bold stand for morality he is looked upon as a heartless wretch, a cruel barbarian. Such a thing should be done quietly and privately whispers society. Indeed, why may I ask? How are the interests of morality to be served by hushing up such mat- ters? Even the very marriage vow has become degraded, in many cases it is a mere licerise for profligacy, a cloak to cover men and women's pas- sions. It is nothing unusual for that vow to be broken as lightly as though God were not existent. We can.read of those who tolerate the unchastity of their wives in order that they themselves may have the more free- dom. Positively when one comes to think of it with all our intellectual progress we are little better than the beasts in love. Physical perfection generally enchains us far more than mental--as the panther paces round his mate attracted by her sinuous form, her velvety shine and fiery eyes--so we court and ogle the wo- man who seems to us the fairest and so women in their turn cast amourous eyes at him whose strength seems the best comparison to her weakness, Well, one very true and ugly fact. is paramount in human history, name- ly, that this merely physical attrac- tion between man and woman is of the highest continuance and nearly always turns to absolute loathing. We are bound to be punished when Carvell some time ago announced that the income tax would be broadened in its application. It will also be nec- essary to increase the revenue from W. J.

Z "An old farmer in New England, who was a close-fisted man, although a member of the village church, own- ed a fine cow. Great was his delight on going out to the barn one morning to find that his favorite cow had presented him with twin calves. This unexpected number, this double bles- sing, so warmed up the old farmer that he went to the house asd said to his wife: 'Wife, I believe I will give one of these calves to the Lord.' His good wife was surprised, but she heartily approved of this unusual generosity. Time went on and the calves waxed fat and frolicsome. It was a settled fact that the Lord was to have one of the calves, put the old farmer had not decided which. Then one fateful morning, one of the cal- ves died. The old farmer was grief- stricken. He hastened to the house to unfold the news to the partner of his joys and sorrows. 'Oh, wife,' said he, "the Lord's calf is dead!" The speaker applied the truth by saying: "Don't let the Lord's calf die first!' : c Prepare For Winter ! AS TO CONSTANTINOPLE RANGES! RANGES ! Now is the time to choose your new range.

Our guess is that Constantinople will be evenly divided between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. And no better disposition could be made of that im- portant city. England owns the west ern gate to the Mediterranean, Gib- raltar. Let her own the eastern gate, keep up her fleet, and make it impos- sible for Germany, whatever she may build up in the way of a Prussian- Russian empire, to get out into the open sea through the Dardanelles.
