Then follow these words. which areas timely as they are true: Conversion is the preacher’s chief aim, for all else is vain unless that is effected. Why, then, do we hear the dir- l-ct evangelical appeal so seldom from our pulpits to-day? If preachers to-day would. from time to time, as occasion served. strike the evangelical.note strongly in their sermons, and at all times keep the thought of conversion clearly ' ' ds. I do not doubt that the pulpit would gain much in power, influence and value, and hat other types of preaching. dealing with instruction, edification and encour- agement would gain and not lose. It would be of real value for prea question set out in this extract: Why hear a direct evangelistic appeal? chers to ask themselves the is it that we so seldom L EVERY SATURDAY AN ARTICLE APPEARS IN THE LON- don Times dealing With some aspect of religious truth. .It is understood that these articles. while beaded “From a Corresâ€" pondent“ come from various sources, representing difi'crent churches. Many of them are of singular force and freshness. One of the most recent deals with the question of comfort which, for many. is the chief boon sought for in religion. Amid the distractions and cares of life and the consciousness of repeated failure. people long for shelter from the world and for solace in their troubles. The article points out how this can be obtained. and says that “no other religion offers this gift. so confidently as does Christianity.” The article closes with this incident : A poor Korean woman travelled far from her native vil- iu search of the place where she had been told- they heal the broken heart. She found it when she learnt about Him who ever speaks most comfortable words to mankind. His friends name Him Christus Consolator. and they know that He desires to give His comfort to all men, for across the ages they may hear His \‘oiCe. “Come unto Me . . . and I will give you rest."

The annual meeting of the Nation- al Portland Cement Company is being held in Toronto this week. There seems considerable dissatisfaction at the progress of the industry from a financial standpoint. To fight the snowdrifts in Ontario has cost the Grand Trunk._Company over $300,000, yet the winter isn’t more than half gone. The furniture factory was forced to shut down this week for want of coal. A car load on the way had been taken and used by the Gland Trunk Company. We have a supply of paper some- where on the road between here and Hamilton, shipped nearly two weeks! Mrs. Joseph Burns of Aberdeen is under the necessity of having one of her legs amputated. About six months ago she was injured by a cow tramping on her foot.

THE CHIGKBNS ARE BOOSTING Ramsay McDonald says that Brit- ish credit and British industry have been damaged by statements made by Liberals and Conservatives as to what the Laborites would do if they came into power. The statements in question must have been horribly ' exaggerated if they went beyond what. Ramsay McDonald himself said! they would do. The very prospect of power has sobered him and his dis- claimers now are an intimation to his own followers that the quest for the pot of gold may as well cease now for it' is not thereâ€"nor is the rainbow.

Cemeteries are. gradually under- going eonmlete and permanent altâ€" ieration. The first. stage has long passed and none now hear signs othâ€"‘ er than of sym1_)atl‘1etic and reverent order and care. Many indeed have reached their final setting of per- manent stone enclosures, and mom- orials with inscribed headstones marking each sacred spot, in place of the temporary wooden crosses first Set Up. As the cemeteries come under construction. the autlmrities are able to dispose of the wooden crosses, and it. seems too little known that they are willing to hand them. over to the nearest relative when they are available and when application is made for them in time. Many DCODIO have taken advantage of this ofi‘er, and there crosses form very dear and intimate visible association with a loved one in some household, or in other cases they have been collected and arranged on the walls of a village church in the form of a .memorial, or set up in the corner [of the. (‘zllurchyaml or cemetery. There isno doubt the possession of these crosses, with the little metal tab on which the name and regiment. of the soldier is stamped. appeals strongly. The offer of tlw Imperial \V‘ar Graws Commission to hand over the crosses has now boon modified, inâ€" asmuch as thoy can «mly he deliver- ed personally at the. cemetery. It is impossible for many Canadian people to make the special journey themselves. The Church Army has therefore, arranged to accept the crosses on behalf of those who may apply for them‘ and may be able to obtain the necessary written author- ity for the delivery of the cross. It is interesting to know the way in which the. crosses which are not claimed are dealt with. The metal inscriptions are first removed and buried, »’and the crosses are then burned in a pile and the ashes scattered over the surface of the cemetery. Those who desire to have the 01iginal wooden crossesl from one or the graves in France or Belgium, should first apply to the Imperial War Graves Commission, 82 Baker street, London, W. 1, giving 'full particulars of the name, rank and. number of the fallen soldier, his regiment, battalion, and the ceme- tery, and asking for an authority to allow the Church Army to receive the cross on their behalf.
