Harvard made a clean sweep, win
ming all five of the boat races over the
Thames course at New London. Tween
ty, years ago Yale was considered al
most invincible in aquatics and win
for Harvard was a rare event. Har-
ward began to improve and to win
more than a majority of the matches.
Then Yale changed its policy and tried
an English system and stroke. The
importation seems to be sadly lacking
in results, and it viii be necessary for
Yale to come back to some American
style of rowing in order to successfully
compete with the husky boys from
Cambridge.

Australia and New Zealand from
Use to give an OBJECT lesson to the
people in this country who think the
government can correct everything in
the world. In those two countries they
have government ownership of rail
roads, woman suffrage, old age pen
sions, workman s compensation, com
pulsory arbitration of industrial dis
putes, state life and state fire insur-
ance, minimum wage, restricted immi-
grafton of labor, government loans on

to be ON the verge of bankruptcy, and
in New Zealand the per capita debt is
between $500 and $500 as compared
with $14 in the United States.

Hughes, Katherine.-Father Lacombe,
the Black Robe Voyageur.
This biographical story of Pere La
combe is written from the standpoint
of historical and human interest. 1T
opens with pictures of life in old Que
bee; from lS49 onward it deals mainly
with the West. The story of this re-
markable man S life touches on St.
Paul as a collection of log cabins, Fort
Garry as a trading post, Fort Edmon-
ton as the centre of the Saskatchewan
and Athabasca fur trade, Calgary as
a frontier police post; while in and
out it winds through life ON the Cana
dian plains as they evolve from Indian
and Buffalo ranges to autonomous
provinces intersected by railways. The
subject-strong, humorous and domi-
nant-passes with a great JOY of life
from one dramatic experience to an
other in the wilderness, and on to the
crowded life of big cities, where he
still refuses to be commonplace He
is always a knight-errant of charity,
genius for friendship, a diplomat
among diplomats The book is con
else and human picture of the making
of the West.

SATURDAY, JUNE q, 1913.

One indication of prosperity is the
continuous story of strikes that the
telegraph ticks off day after day. The
demand is for more more and less
hours, and less work during the hours.
During a time of depression strikes are
almost unknown. One of these days
when a general slump comes people will
look back with a sigh to the good old
days of 19lO-19l3. This is not intend
ed as a pessimistie wall, but just a
reminder that good times breed dis
content.

Now the Machine Sermon.

The only ceremony at the funeral
of school teacher in an Austrian vii
lage was the rendition by a talking
machine of the hymn Zine Feste
Burg" as sung by a chorus of male
voices. The incident gave an enter
prising firm an idea. They now. &C.
cording to circular which has been
distributed in the rural districts. are
prepared to furnish for funerals
good and appropriate music, either
solo. duet or chorus. Our large list
includes universal as well as strictly
church music" In discussing this
enterprise a Vienna paper says that
the machine sermon" has already
been introduced, and in conjunction
with the machine music" will make
old methods useless. The talking
machine sermon" says the humorist,
has at least these good points-it
must be short and the machine does
not weep"

Whipple, Bishop II. B.-Lights and
Shadows of Long Episcopate.
Bishop Whipple was ordained in
1919 and ten years afterwards he was
elected Bishop of Minnesota This
brought him into direct relation with
what has been the great work of his
life, the evangelization of the red
race and the support of their rights
in regard to the government of the
United States This is naturally the
great subject of his book: on other
matters he has from time to time
something interesting to say, but this
is the thing that fills his heart.
