Says.

J. A. Macdonald, editor Of the To-
ronto Globe. and Bishop William r Nc
Dowen, Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, were the chief speakers at the
evening session OF the Young Men 3
Christian Association. which met in

dent Of the convention. Selden P. spen-
Ger. introduced the speakers.

ton OF Donald B. Mcleod. rendered
several religious selections. Besides the
instrumental program. the male choir Of
500 voices sang under the leadership Of
s. J. Virgo. Of Sidney. Australia.
Mr.. MacDonalds theme was "The Call
Of the Nation" He told OF the great
future which awaits both Canada and
the United States through their moral
and national influence on the people OF
the Old World. He touched lightly on
the attitude OF China and Japan toward
the rest Of the world. de said:

Britains, night as the Greeks fought the

is far better TO look forward TO is that

must DO 10 prevent this is 10 send
among these nations missionaries who
may spread the Gospel and teach 10

which are the bases Of war. This is one
Of the calls Of the nation which may be
answered by the Young Mems Christian

Mr.. Macdonald also spoke Of the de-
cline Of idealism in democracy through
the unnatural growth OF a commercial
aristocracy. This growth, II not stop
ped" said Mr.. Macdonald. will result
IN the death and dtstT Iction OF the ma
ton.
Stu another way IN which this great
organization can answer the call Of the
nation is for its yo1ng men TO stand
for their rights as man against man in

and vice"
Answer Of 7. NJ. c. A.
In concluding Mr. Macdonald said:

TRIBUTE To LATE
PROF. HARKMESS

President Faunce this morning during

The students were urged TO attend the
funeral services tomorrow and II was an
nounced that the Cammarian club would
be the official representative OF the un-
dergraduates.
After pointing out that landmark OF
the university had disappeared, President
Faunce said:
Prof. Hardness was a speaker OF
great ability. He was truly classical
I'm thought and speech. His simplicity
was extremely impressive. And as
man throughout his life his reputation
has been spotless. No one has ever
breathed n word against him. In. these
recent years he has passed through
an old age OF great happiness. His
physical powers were almost unim-
paired. His upright life made his
faculties clear to the end
SO, as tomorrow university life is
suspended. let us think what we owe 90
this scholar. Let US live better and
pobler life, and let us feel that the best
gift We can bestow upon our Alma
Mater is lifetime OF noble aspirations
so that we may achieve In a lesser de-
gree something that Prof Harkness has
achieved for us and the world.
