Landing ON a Lord.

The Marquis of Aberdeen, now
with his wife, Lady Aberdeen, in this
country on sociologic visit, was
some twenty years ago Governor
General of Canada and during his
term of office one of his particular de-
lights was to travel about the Do
minion and the United States incog-
nito to the limit. The Marquis loves
to tell a joke on himself no less than
on some other victim and he tells this
one with much glee:
During one of his trips he was on a
Pullman somewhere in our North
west when a raw westerner went at
him for talk.
Stranger in these parts?" asked
the native for an opening.

in astonishment.

got and snored like you do, I'd hire a

 General Secretary c. H. Barnes presented his third annual report, which follows:
 May ', 1916. MT. President and Friends:
 New Britain has again demonstrat- ed it's appreciation of an organization which Is helping to mould plastic boys Into good citizens by providing better equipment and facilities for the Boys club. The response is characteristic of the good people of the city, who count it an investment rather than an expense, to provide the means for carrying on preventive work for the young men and women of the city.
 For thirty-two years the Y M. .. A. has helped young men of the city to live clean lives and develop a balanced and we'll rounded character through physical, social, educational and re- ligious activities. Year by year It's program has been varied and broad ened to meet the changing conditions of the city At all times it has aimed to make its work practical, democratic and cosmopolitan.

from England on the Sussex just one week before she was attacked. The
 life of Europe is immersed in the war and everywhere the spirit of self sacrifice is manifested. All share the same common feeling, that they are fighting for freedom and demo- Cracy.
 Sad Scenes. "It is indeed pitiful to see wom-
 en bid goodbye to their husbands
 and sons as they go to the front per- haps never to return again. They
 maintain their composure, until the
 train pulls out and then oftentimes they break down. Only the daily newspapers brings them news of their departed. Now. what the Y.
 M c. A. is doing is this. Buildings are erected which are called huts. 1 They are much larger than huts in the sense in which use the word sometimes as many as 2,0OO men gather there at one time, where we furnish entertainments and recrea- 1 ton. There are Bible class lectures, writing rooms and music parlors and l they are crowded all the time, with anxious and weary men, trying to
 forget the more serious business on 1 hand
 l Asquith Assists.
 There was much doubt in Eng ! land as to the worth of this work,

and saw no less than 5000 men, \ recreation. There were 2,000 in tendance at the Bible class gatheri The association was selling food cost and when MT. Asquith beca aware of the good work which being done he ordered the exched to draw up a check for $125, ,00q further the work. In France Il Rouen, there are fourteen Ind which cost from $2,50O to $3,00d build and the average daily attd ance is from 10000 to 20,O00. 'H are also placed in the rear of trenches and the same work is ried on near the front.
 Europe Religion Hungry
 Europe is hungry for religionH never before. The soldiers in trenches study the Bible before lH ing for what is perhaps their battle. At present there are places on the French line wS 'huts' could be placed and fifty sd taries are needed to carry on work. My mission here is to ot these men and the money to carrM the work.

for the front to spread the gospel of Christianity. Tn recognition of his services, King George of Great Brit ain has presented MT. Garter with a gold medal.' Mir. Carter's address in part follows:
 Is It Worth While.
 "The question is often asked by men in this country, approached for funds to conduct the Y. M. c. A. work in India, China and Japan is it worth while?' It is, for the na- tives of those countries are on our doorstep, just as the nations of F,u- rope are. They have souls and bodies as we have and are children of the same God. There is no patent on N M. c. A. work and it is our duty to aid them and bring them to be pro- fessors of our faith in Christianity. If you could see the work that is being done in Lahore India. by Rev. How ard Walter and Wilson Hume, you would not need to ask this question: The people of those countries are be- coming educated and 1t will not be long before we must have more direct intercourse with then Christianity ought to be spread among the fol- lowers of Mohammedan. Already the people of those countries see the ben efits to be derived from Christianity. If the association in this country can send secretaries to spread the gos- pei many of the natives will volun- teer for the work. In many cases they support secretaries and often times business men there contribute T., is no 'Holier Than Thou attitude ie done rather in the spirit of St. Paul.
 University Mems Work.
 Many university men of this country and England are engaged in the work of translating the Bible into the language and dialects of the countries Graduates of Cambridge and Oxford and Rev. Hoard Walter of Princeton spend most of their time ill the study of Sanskrit. When the great war in Europe broke out, mary of the Indian troops were ordered to the front and it devolved on us to show that Christianity was not only a teaching, but also a social ser vice, so we accompanied them. Com panies of troops from India are scat tered all over, in France, Mesopo- tamia, East Africa and the Darda- nelles. In France alone, they are accompanied by fifty secretaries. When the native business men saw we were to do this work of obtaining recreation for the troops, many of them from all walks of life volunteer ed to assist. When we sailed through the Mediterranean in the night, with our steamer lights out, we narrowly missed a mine and the next morning saw wreckage floating on the waters. The mine was missed by only fifteen feet The war is terrible and every one is alert at all times. We crossed
