MR.. DE Almonds resolution in
troduced in the House of Representa-
tives recently looking to the ceding OF
Canada by Great Britain to the United
States has been offset by one adopted
by the City Council of Windsor, Ont,
which provides that King Edward as
certain upon what terms the people OF
the United States would agree to the
annexation or sale of the United States
to Canada. OF course both propositions
are entirely out of the question, but 1t
must be admitted that Mr.. De Almond
resolution was as absurd as was that OF
the Windsor City Council.

the same votes and the same majority Of

Mr.. Editor: This section is in

Will write different, and T think it is
our duty, for if the Lord be for us
who can he against us, saith the
Lord. Let the things pass by that
perish, which is the study of making
money and getting money; but covet
earnestly the best things and that is
forgiveness of all our sins.
