serious conversation with him.

stitute the greatest human problem OF
the ages. Gen. Booth, as head OF the
Salvation Army. has issued a remark
able appeal for help in carrying out
scheme he has evolved for dealing
with the idleness and distress OF the
congested cities. The two chief RENE
dies he proposes are: Land COLOMBIA
ton and emigration. The millions OF
the great cities, who from lack Of
force or lack OF ambition are unable
to hold their own In the keen strife for
existence in crowded communities, he
would transport to the open country
or to less densely populated lands.
Contact with natures boundless re-
sources, 1t is hoped, will quicken the
aspirations and stimulate the conf
dence upon which success depends
II is a proposition to do on a world
wide scale what the Salvation Army
has so successfully been doing In the
United States. The idea upon which
were founded the farm colonies In
Ohio, Colorado and California is en-
larged to embrace Canada and Aus
tralia for the relief OF the poor OF Eng
land. The waste places OF the world
call for the transforming touch Of
mans toll. And the helpless, hopeless
man crowded down in the congestion
VI big cities calls for the neglected
land. To take the landless man to the
manless land, though oceans intervene,
is the task which Gen. Booth Is now
undertaking. Three large steamers
have been chartered to sail from Lon
don. Liverpool and Glasgow early
next spring. bearing to Canada their
freight OF hopeful thousands. helped
to a chance to lead productive and
happy lives. In the scheme there is
no charity, I'm the common meaning OF
the word. Men are loaned money for
their passage and to buy stock and i'm
plements. II must be paid back at a
fixed time, and the land chosen must
be paid for in installments. Nothing
is actually given them except oppor-
tunity to help themselves. Already
the British government has provided
some assistance. The government OF
New Zealand has adopted some such
plan. The late Senator Hoar, a couple
OF years ago introduced bill in Con
gress to create national fund for
such use In relieving the congestion
Of cities and populating the lands Of
the West. 1t is Il movement that had
humble beginning but Is to-day

There are no difficulties of language
to a man as tactful as a certain Lord
Mayor of London, Of whom ST. James
Budget tells.
The eminent Dean Pigou was once
Invited to conduct a service in French
at the Chapel Of the Hospital for
Huguenots. South Hackney.
Previous to the day the dean wrote
out in English a sermon on the Revo-
cation of the Edlct of Nantes. Then
with the aid of Mrs. Plgou, a sound
French scholar, he translated the
whole into French, and preached on
the day in that language.
Among the distinguished persons
present was the Lord Mayor, who has
tened to thank the dean at the close
of service, adding:
Though. sir. l do not know one
word OF French. understood you per
