moment later came the climax of the day.
Every bell in the citv suddenly rang out the
alarm of fire; and the afirighted citizens
rushed out from their houses into the streets
and made their wsv in the gloom towards the
church, until the Place d'Armes was crowded

TuL NENrLAISED PHESoME~oS 81 y
vENBER, 1919.

In some interesting and graphic remi-
niscences Of Montreal co years ago. Mr.. J.
II. Dorwin writes to the Montreal Star as
follows: ''What was the strangest occur
renee of that time, or rather the strangest
thing that ever happened in the history OF
this country was what has been always known
as the phenomenon Of 1919" On the morn
ing of Sunday. Nov. =. 1919, the sun rose
upon cloudy skv, which assumed. az the
light grew upon it, a strange greenish tint,
varying in places to an inky blackness. After
a short time the whole sky became terribly
dark, dense black clouds filling the at
mosphere. and there followed heavy shower
| of rain, which appeared to be something of
the nature of soap-suds, and was found to
have deposited after settling a substance in
all its qualities resembling SCOT. Late in the
afternoon the sky cleared to its natural as
pect. and the next day fine and frosty.
ON the morning of Tuesday, the 10th, heavy
clouds again covered the sky. and changed
rapidly from deep green to pi'chy black.
and the sun, when occasionally seen through
them, was sometimes of a dark brown or an
unearthly yellow color and again bright
orange, and even blood red The
clouds constantly deepened in color and
density. and later on heavy vapOr
sc eemed to descend to the earth. and the day
became almost as dark as night. the gloom
increasing and diminishing most ftfully. AT
noon lights had TO be burned in the Court
/ House, the banks, and the public Offices Of
| the city. Everybody was more or less alarm
ed, and MANY were the conjectures as TO the
cause of the remarkable occurrence. The
more sensible thought that immense woods
! or prairies were on FIRE somewhere to the
| west. others said that a great volcano must
have broken out in the Province, still others
| asserted that our mountain an extinct
crater about to resume operations and to make
of the citysa second Pompeii. the superstitious
| quoted an old Indian prophesv. that one day
the Island of Montreal was to be destroyed
| by an earthquake, and some even cried that
the world was coming to an end. About the
middle Of the afternoon great body Of
clouds seemed to rush suddenly over the city
and the darkness became that of night. A
pause and hush for moment or two succeed
ed, and then one of the most glaring flashes
Of lightning ever beheld famed over the
country. accompanied By clap Of thunder
which seemed to shake the city to its foun-
dafions. Another pause followed. and then
came light shower Of rain of the same
soapy and sooty nature ~ that two days be-
fore. After that it appeared to grow bright.

An Urgent Demand.

We want girls. Girls who can get them
selves up in good shape to go to dance. The
boys are getting tired of receiving invitations
with request that they ''bring ladies'" They
are like oranges and apples-very scarce.
We want girls who will go TO church and to
Bible-class on Sundays, and that kind who
can draw a congregation of the other sex,
and who will take buggy ride after the les
son is over. This will help the livery busi-
ness, and will also hasten the sale ofresi-
dence lots, for buggies are the vehicles in
which homes are first thought Of by many
people.
We want girls that can wait on the table.
and who can smile us into an appetite when
stomach bitters are impotent, and who will
make the boarders regular at their meals.
We want girls for sweethearts, so that
when we get an arm shot of. or are kicked
By mule. or are thrown from q bucking
horse and are laid away for repairs. we may
hear gentle voice and see the glitter Of .
crystal tear, spoken and dropped in uncon-
scious sympathy for our pain.
We want fat and funny girls to make Us
smile all over, and lean and fragile ones to
hang upon our arms, and petite blondes who
show themselves on sunny days, and stately
brunettes, so beautiful in the twilight.
We have mineral enough, and plenty Of
coal and oxide Of iron. The only lack Of
our resources il those potent civilizers VI

MIR. Beechcr Replies To Criticism

In his lecture Friday evening MIR. Bcecher
commented as follows on some of the utter
ances drawn out by the incident he recently
detailed in Plymouth Church of his sending
a girl who wished to enter the Roman Catho-
lie Church to priest ~ read in a Roman
Catholic paper. published in New York. this
afternoon. the remarks about my sending a
girl to that Church. supposed it would be
gratifying to the members of that faith, but it
seems it was not. The paper says Mr.. Beech
er thinks it makes no difference whether a
person is in anv church or in no church: that
AL religion is matter of Indifference that
there is no true doctrine. and that it is no
matter what n man believes. Well. it does
make no difference what a man believes unless
it makes him better than this snarling editor.
That doctrine is right that makes man right
and that church is right that does the most to
develope true men. The value of any given
doctrine depends upon its power TO develop
Christ in human nature. Whether orthodoxy
or infidelitv. one church or another, that is
best by which Christ is born in the souls of
men: and it is to be valued by the developed
qualities in men. For most things | think
men have better chance in our church than
in the Roman Catholic. But if a man can
find Christ best developed in the Roman
Catholic church, | bid him God speed and
say, go on not because it is best but be-
cause il NAV lie suthcien, to form Christlike-
ness in him. The object of the church is not
TO show graces but a school to train men,
to stimulate graces in them. 1t is serious
business to Join the church. but far more
serious not to Join. 1t is a matter of trans
cendent Importance.
