DURHAM CHRONICLE Th0 and event of the Queen’s death ' is hit throughout the whole civilized world. That the British Empire flourished during her adminstration, no one will attempt to deny. but with all due respect to Britain’s Queen, and with an avowed denial that we possess a single atem of dis- loyalty. we must say that the success one of the greatest. if not the great- est, sovereigns that ever swayed the rod of Empire. over a great. a prosperous and a progressive nation. Victoria was a queen but at the same time she was the truest type of wom- an, and herein lies the secret of her success. Governed by the best of common sense, with a well balanced judgment ever careful in the exercise of her prerogative, to do nothing without the maturest deliberation, there were few errors in her long administration. Under the circum- stances it is no wonder that her reign should be a period of uninterrupted progress. Let us hope now that King Edward VII will inherit her virtues. and be influenced by the wise counsel of a wise Ministry and the British Nation will go on lrom prospering to prosperity. In saying that the w] worl is sad, we mu: Ituement in a mod Though she was queen, a univerul sadnesg, yet In saying that the whole civilized world is sad, we must make the statement in a modified sense. Though she was queen, and there is a universal sadness, yet the indiyid- ual members of the British Empire will not feel the blow with the same acuteness as a loving parent would leel the loss of his own child. The world will go on just the same. the sun will rise and set with the same degree of regularity. the seasons will come and go just as if nothing had happened. and the harmony of the universe will be in no sense impaired. Yet the nation is sad. and it’s natur- al that it should be, but the event impresses the grand lesson that the Great Ruler is no respector of per- I008. thought. to be wrong th Melbourne pressed it on of eXpOdiency.

"I know the differ- ence between right. and wrorg,” she said, “but I know not the meaning 0! OXpediency.” The same force of character remained throughout her whole reign. and to her kindly but fit. disposition, and the exercise of nwoll-btlanced judgment, her name will pass down the pages of history as the best Queen that ever sat on the throne of Britain. The numerous changes in our‘ averyday phraseology will seem “range for a time to the great mass of the British people. The Queen’s English, for instance, will have to be replaced by the apparently less eu- phoniousexpreuion of King’s English Similarly the National Anthem, as it has been sung for sixty years, will undergo a like change in substituting “ King ” (or “ Queen.” The King’s Bench and King’s Counsel are similar net-rosary changes the new condition «I a! irs will force upon the people. Not only Will there be achange in the common parlance of the peOple. but the min: must be new for next year’s coinage, and a similar change will be made in post. ofiice and reve- nue snows.

We can hardly say so much. Some of our aged ones drove live or six miles ex- pressly to attend. They went in, tested the temperature of the hall, and concluded they would rather die in ignorance than freeze to death. :1‘he younger element remained and readily froze onto the ideas as they were put forth. Not so many as usual attended the night meeting. A very painlul accident occurred I _ . . . a few mornings ago to little MISS .

While here she addressed two of the meetings held by the Canadian Temperance League. Miss Wray is a lady with a past vast- lv difierent from that which is attached to most people. and if, it was written into a book. many would rise up and call her blessed. She has worked ‘in \Vhitechaple dis- trict and in the slums of New York, and has looked upon more physical and moral wrecks than almost any other person. The other Sunday she told of her work in the poorest and most notor- ions district of London. While she did so she held the attention of 5,000 people. Her life has been thrilling, strange and active. Confirmation and acceptance into the church did not give her peace of mind. “God seemed so far off,” she said. Being fond of music she was at- ‘ tracred to a small band of peeple holding a meeting at a street corner V in Yorkshire. She followed thelé peOple to their hall, where they heldl a religious meeting. They were 80': sincere, and knew a God she did not '1 know. It seemed presumption forl them to say they knew their sins were forgiven. The religion of those people attracted Miss Wray, and she became one of them. It was not. long before a person of her strength of character felt called to work fer the good of her neighbors. She and a co-worker rented a house in a court which contained seven houses. They wished to gain the confidence of the people before mentioning religion. They lived and dressed as the women about them. The mornings were de- voted to cooking for the sick in the neighborhood; the afternoons to visiting and the evenings to holding meetings. Miss Wray gave some idea of the trials and diificulties she experienced when she told of how, when washing clothes for the poor, blood sprung from underneath her nailsâ€"then of putting her washing away, and “havinga cry as every woman would do,” so she said. Such was her first experience with washing. With scrubbing it was somewhat the same. But they did not become (liscouraged-â€"â€"They had. not mentioned religion. Miss \Vray said she wished very much, while mingling with misery and wicked- ness, to tell of the goodness of God as a way out of such a state of affairs, but she felt the time had not arrived to do so. , “ Why do you sit up at nights with me. and clean my room. and cook my meals, and be so good to me 2’" asked lllfialD, (I’llkt IIV uv va“ -- _,, a woman one morning. Miss \Vray felt constrained to tell her why. The notorious "‘ thieves’ kitchen ” was in l the district In which Miss \Vray,l lived. She tells of yisiting it inl company with her companionâ€"Shel found two men playing cardsâ€"Oriel of them grew angry when she talked to him. Throwing the cards across the floor, he arose and approaching Eher asked if anyone saw her enter. On learning she thought not. He opened a trap door and rushed at her saying no one will see you go out. “ Stop,” cried Miss Wray, “ You dare not touch me, I belong to God, and he will protect me.” The man did not go nearer, but told her to leave. Miss Wray told of a girl who was prevented from throwing herself into the river Thames by hearing Miss Wray singing at a street corner. The girl attended the meeting told her the story, and Miss Wray wrote to her parents who, she found, had been waiting for her to return home for two years. Miss \Vray said she had found that the cause of the firming Incident In London slums.
