cANADA's MILITIA IN THE WAR
(Manitoba Free Press)

(Manitoba Free Press)
 It is in no spirit of vaunting, but as a matter of undeniable fact, which stands proved before the world, that the manhood of Canada stands ready to do it's duty to Canada, and also to the empire. But Canadian volunteer regiments are not like the regiments of the standing armies of Europe, at the disposal of war lords in Vien- na or Berlin or elsewhere. The man hood of Canada will not be found wanting when it is needed to go over seas to the assistance of Great Bri- tain; but it will go in expeditionary bo1ies,N recruited by voluntary enlist ment.
 In this connection it is to be noted that the militia act, after providing for the calling out of the militia, or any part thereof, for active service for the defense of Canada, provides as follows:
 Whenever the governor. in council places the militia, or any part there of, on active service. if Parliament is then separated by such adjournm ent or propagation as will not expire within 10 days, a proclamation shall be issued for the meeting of ParHa- ment within 15 days, and Parliament shall accordingly meet and sit upon the day appointed by such proc1ama- ton, and shall continue to sit and
  adjourned or prorogued to the same day.
 It is as well to have the facts in regard to the militia establishment of the Dominion clearly understood and to have no misconception as the result of nnflitaristic vibrations radi- atingi out from Ottawa. The, men of I every part of Canada, from ocean to ocean. are ready sto do their duty and their whole duty, as Canadian citizens of the empire; and an inn 1 portant part of that duty is to resist l in this our own country the begin nings of the mania of nilitarism which has gone so far on the con 1 tinent of Europe as to become veri- tab1y a demoniacaI possessi on-a red rage of destruction, causing hideous waste of lives and the product of hu- man labor and inca1culabJe agonies and deprivations and sorrows

ST.JAMEs CHURCH NEWS.

Next Sunday at 7:S0 A. NJ. there
will be Mems Corporate Commun-
ion, and Corporate Communion for
all organizations of the Church.
December 20 is the last Sunday in
Advent Season, which eliminates in
the commemoration OF the Great Ad-
vent on Christmas Day. In observ-
ing this season of preparation, the
con ngregation should not feel lone
some. Throughout the world it is
being kept by all Roman Catholics,
ali Lutherans, all members of the
Greek Orthodox Church and all mem
bers OF the Anglican Communion,
which all together total several hun
dred million. All these observe the
church year and observe Advent Sun
day as the Church's New Years Day
OF course the advantage of it is the
orderly study of Christ's life in Sc
Quence OF events. And so the por-
ton of scripture to read each Sun
day is selected in accordance with
the Church Year, so that a clearer
grasp of the Life as a whole may
be obtained.
1t is interesting to note that con-
corning the recent revival of the
worship of Confuscius in China, the
President of that Republic stated
that it is merely to continue the OBJ
serYance of an ancient rite, that it
has nothing to do with religion, :"
that it will hinder no Christian from
entering official life, that whereas
it is an official act, yet if the Of
ficial is not able or is unwilling to
worship Confuscius, the ceremony
may be conducted by someone else. >"
Perhaps someone has read in the
Catholic World a Roman Catholic
periodical, a criticism of Protestant
ism in Cuba. 1t is stated that it is
declining, men are being withdrawn
less money appropriated, fewer COM
municants each year, etc. That is
deplorable as news, when the fact
is, as to our own activity there, that
there, and now 1S; then 6 congre-
cations, now so; then rs S. S. pupils
now 1900; then 200 communicates,
now 1900; then $1,000 given for
self support, now $4,000; value Of
missions then $4,000, now S1S1,
900. Which is not a bad showing.
And Bishop Knight, who was for
merly there, states that no attempt
is made to proselytize And suppose

POINTS OF VIEW.

She was very charming little
lady, though not strikingly beauti.
full, and she was telling us about
a young man taking kodak views of
herself. With a coquettish little
frown she said: Il told him / seemed
to be growing small by degrees lLt
he did not bite and finish out the
quotation-was it honesty. ignorance
or delicate disapproval of girl
angling for com mpliment?".
1t may have been any of those
three things. There are perfectly
sincere men with no attitude of flat
terry toward girls, some who would
think it positively indelicate to tell
girl she was beautiful / know
a very pious man who can see no
reason why great artists should have
painted great pictures of beautiful
women to represent the Virgin Mary.
My own objection to the Madonnas is
their maturity. The mother of Jesus
was not over seventeen at the time
OF His birth.
A bridal chorus and a wedding
march are as near dance music as
you would expect to hear played on
the pipe organ in a church but when
organist Kraft came up recently to
give a recital on the new organ in
the Presbyterian church he played
a gavotte and minuet Both are
danced to slow music and the minuet
was danced when knighthood was
in flower when ladies wore pow
dered hair and crinoline and dignity
was the keynote of social events.
The minuet was very melodious
and brought to mind the beautiful
scene in The School for Scandal"
when that stately dance is staged
with the ladies in such handsome at
tire and the men in knee breeches
and satin coats. Do you recall Mary

KINDNESS OF MARIETTA GIRL.

Several weeks ago great fire
was raging in Eastman where Miss
Regina Rambo teaches in school.
Hundreds of men were standing
dazed and helpless, watching the
flames. There was q train of flat
cars near the fire loaded with cotton
seed and Miss Rambo realized their
danger from flying sparks. SO she
called attention TO the cars and di-
rected the men 10 uncouple them
and push them along the track away
from the fire. The men rallied to
this fair little captain and followed
her orders, Soon the cars were re-
moved one by one, to safety AMI
Miss Rambo was elected honorary
fire chief of Eastman.
Another thing she has recently
done is like leading a prisoner from
a dungeon. She has taught little
blind boy to read and this resulted
from her habit OF doing little kind
nesses.
Last Summer when Miss Rambo
went to Europe in Miss Olive Faw's
party, one of their fellow passengers
was Or. Bell. who was blind and
going to London to attend a con-
vention of blind people She exert
ed herself to entertain him walked
on deck with him, read to him and
played on the piano for him. She
wrote to DR.. Bell about the blind
boy in Eastman in whom she took
deep interest and the grateful
blind man sent her some books with
raised letters, The little boy needed
only the slightest help in learning
to read and now he is very happy
because a new world has opened to
him.
