CENTENNIAL OF PEACE
CELEBRATED TO-DAY

The selection OF Sunday, February a..
by the Federal Council OF Churches, for
the celebration of hundred years
without war, has been approved by
many church organizations and Il quito
general observance Is promised. a pro-
gram has been provided for the use OF
Sunday schools by the American
Church Peace Centenary Committee OF
the Council. It has been approved by
the executive committee of tho Sunday
School Council OF Evangelical denomi-
nations and is furnished by the Sun
day school boards Of the denominations.
Pastors are urged to prepare sermons
for the occasion. setting forth the bless
ings Of peace and the evil effects Of
war. showing how to avoid the most
deadly and inhuman. tho most cruel and
costly, the most unreasonable method
OF deciding international differences.
Again and again the United States
and Great Britain have been uncom-
fortably close to n rupture, especially
during the strain In the aftermath OF
our Civil War. tho Fenian raid on Can
ada, and in the attitude of England on
certain economic questions. 4 dozen
times war has been talked rather seri-
ously, but the danger points have
passed. and our international relations
were never more satisfactory than now.
The glory of the hundred years Is that,
having had temptation for war, wo
have avoided 1t. If lack Of defences
and armed defenders invites war, never
for Il moment have either the Canadians
or ourselves regretted the absence OF
warships on tho Lakes, or Notifications
and armies on the nearly 1000 miles
of frontier Had the present conditions
of civilization and sentiment prevailed
during the last century. II Is believed.
the Mexican, Civil and Spanish wars
might have been avoided. In the an
nouncement Of the call 1T Is said:
Wherefore, with amity for all ma
lions and malice toward none. let us for
ourselves and for our young people and
children. draw comfort and confidence
from the lessons OF the hundred years,
and dedicate ourselves anow to the
cause Of peace for our own nation and
for the world"

The good are half bad and the bad arc
half good
Not the rich and the poor, for. to count

You must first know the state of his

Not the humble and proud, for, in

Who puts on vain airs is not counted

Not the happy and sad. for the swift
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears.
No. the two kinds of people on earth
that I mean
Are the people who lift and tho peo-
pie who lean.
Wherever you go you will find tho

Are always divided in just these two
classes:
And. oddly enough. you Will find too, I
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.

Or are you leaner. who let's others

Where Nature Cooks the Food.

In certain parts of New Zealand both
native AMI white women use the natu-
raj hot springs to do their cooking. In
the Rotorua region 1t matters not
whether the cook wishes to roast a
piece Of meat, boil potatoes or steam
pudding, all she has to do is to step
out Of doors and place the cooking
utensil In steam hole. The cover Is
then put on, and a piece Of coarse
sacking over the whole completes the
operation. In a short time dinner Is
ready. At Whakarewarewa the entire
earth Just beneath the surface Is

gallons Of hot water hiss and steam,

clouds. Strike the ground almost any
where with a stick and the hole thus
formed fills with hot water.

ORIENTAL. MENDACITY.

A Little Thing Like the Truth Is Of No
Account In Egypt.
II orientals have one fault more than
another it is disregard for truth. In
the early days Of the English occupa-
ton Of India, the English judges We're
astounded at the conflicting stories told
by witnesses, and they soon learned
to set them all down as unworthy Of
credence
In American courts It Is also we'll
known that the Chinese are very penu-
rious Of the truth. and that no oath
will prevent them from giving false
witness. In Egypt 1t IS also very easy
10 get native witnesses to swear TO
anything, true or untrue.
For instance: Ahmed. a native Of
Cairo, had slave who peeped over a
wall into Suleimans harem, and the
ladies considered themselves insulted.
Suleiman wanted revenge. but be could
not bring his wives into court 20 testi-
fy, so 1t WIS agreed that Suleiman
should accuse Ahmed's camel OF walk
ing on Suleimans land. A crowd Of
witnesses came forward and for two
days testified about the camel and the
land. until the English Judge decided
In favor Of Suleiman.
Ii was not until a week afterward
that the judge discovered to his great
surprise that Suleiman had no ground
and Ahmed had no camel.-Exchange.
