He Was Almost Unknown In England
Hundred Years Ago.

The baton as conducting stick did
not come into general use in England un-
ill the third decade of the present century.
Up to that time tho conductor, in the pres
ent acceptance of the term, was almost un-

q conductor who really did beat time. Sam

in 1927, said: Il remember that In the
time of Dr. Boyco 1t was customary To
mark the measure to the orchestra with
roll Of parchment or paper in hand, and
this usage Is yet continued at St Paul's
cathedral at the musical performances for
tie Sons of Clergy" Wesley goes on to say
that the custom was not followed at tho
theatcrs and oratorios. 1t is therefore GER

is ENGLAND DISAPPEARING

Five Miles of Coast In Kent Swallowed
Up by the Gea-
This is q serious question. Is England
disappearing? Readers may pucker up
their lips and calculate absurd" but
facts, nevertheless, remain and show
pretty clearly that England is positively
disappearing, and may in years to
come be marked on the map as van
ished isle.
On the coast the sea is encroachlng
upon the land at an astonishing rate
Seaside towns and villages, holiday re-
sorts, are gradually being eaten up and
the inhabitants driven inland. In many
parts the sea runs up on beach which
was once far inland. In other cases
churches which were at one time far
from the sea now stand at the edge of
cliffs and have the sea tapping almost
at their doors.
The Goodwin sands, about five miles
off the coast of Kent, were at one time
a portion of the mainland itself and the
property of Earl Goodwin. But the sea
has swallowed them up.
The coast Of Norfolk is minus three
villages which it once possessed-Ship-
den, Eccles and Wimpwell-all Of which
have been taken into the arms OF the
encroaching ocean. The Cromer OF to-
dav stands miles inland of the original
Cromer.
Auburn and Harlburn, two Yorkshire
villages, once promised to develop into
SEAPORT towns of considerable impor-
lance; but, like the will of Canute, the
will Of the inhabitants Of these villages
was ignored by the rising sea, and Au-
burn and Harlburn now exist in mere
names and sand banks.
Dunwich, on the coast of Suffolk, is
gradually being swallowed up. Every
now and then the inhabitants move q
distance inland, rebuild their houses
and shops and wait patiently and phil
osophically for the next notice to quit
from the sea. Many other seaside places
havo suffered or are suffering similar
fate.
1t may be uruged, on the other hand,
that some seaside towns are gradually
becoming inland towns by the failure OF
the sea to "come up to the mark, - and
running out only to run in for shorter
distance. Winchelsea, Sandwich, Rye
and Southport are al suffering in this
way. Winchelsca and Rye were origl'
nally two of our cinque ports, but the
sea has left them standing high and
dry. Sandwich was once highly i'm
portant seaport town. 1t now stands
two or three miles inland.
The sea is leaving Southport quite IN
the lurch-so much so indeed that the
inhabitants have had to sink extensive
lakes down on the beach to keep the SEQ
from running off altogether and leaving
merely an ordinary inland town.
But the extension of our island in this
way is very much less than the en-
croachment of the sea at other points,
and while our land is certainly becom-
ing more extensive in one direction it
is contracting, and with much greater
rapidly, in some other. And the ulti-
mate effect may be that our mountain
peaks may form small islands, and even
tually be pointed out by posterity as
"the position in which Great Britain is
reputed to have stood. London Tit

GINA DISTRICT:

L
GINA DISTRICT:
At the annual meeting of this
District held at SaXes in July, your
representatives saw fit to elect me to
the office OF Chief Ruler, an Office
did not seek after but rather Stunned
from accepting, and only my love for
the temperance cause and the cause
of Rechabism induced me to accept.
The office carries with it a great
many cares and anXieties, and | am
going to ask you TO bear some OF these
with me.
Anyone who has passed the chair
of District Chief Ruler knows that
the great anxiety of the Chief Ruler
is that his District should be pros
porous, and know that if you share
with me this burden, this anxiety,
and respond to the call Of the Spirit
as it SAYS: go work in My vineyard"
we shall reap such harvest as was
was never before known in our Dis
trict. Will you do it? Will each in
dividual Son and Daughter OF
Rechabites see to it that no stone is
left unturned to advance our cause.
Brethren the fields are white unto
harvest, one mighty effort and that
harvest is ours, and we shall roll up
such a membership that we will be
proud of.
Our opportunities for doing some
thing for the Master are many, for
nowhere are they cursed with the
saloon as are we in local option
county, whisky is doing its damn
ing work despite the fact that the
people of Accomac said there should
be no saloon; even as | write the
blood of the innocent calls from the
ground for vengeance; mothers pray
ers are ascending to Almighty God,
praying for way for the escape of
her erring boy and all around us can
be seen the terrible effects of drink
and saloon, and my prayer is that
God will roll upon you the burden
of the sufferings of our people and
get into the armor and fight.

Independent Order Of
ReGhabifes
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
Refuge From the Tempta-
tons of Strong Drink.
In NORTH AMERICA.

TINE more important object of this
4 Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance, Fortj-
tude and Justice, securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension OF the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoXi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages OF 16
and 90 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence OF
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon
orary members.
Female Tents, composed Of white
females II years Of age and upwards,
Junior Branch of Boys from - to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of S and IL years.
Each branch has service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
Of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the l. o.
of r. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part OF the
community TO unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils OF
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobrietY.
