Great Britain
Fiercely Attacked

Great Britain was fcrcely attacked
and its people were accused OF every
form of degeneration and degradation
and cowardice. Politically, Mr.. Bou-
rassa and his chief associate. Armand
Lavcrgne, had no great or obvious In
fuenCe. They had no power in Par
troll over the policies of governments
or parties. Yet the unceasing PRE-
sontation of certain views had the
same effect as the steady dropping OF
small quantities of water upon q
stone-it wore down loyalty and de-
pressed enthusiasm. 1t effected by
subtle arguments and continuous talk
what a more pretentious campaign
could not have done; it undermined
the influence Of political leaders. the
force of loyal and pro-British
speeches delivered by the Liberal
chiefs. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.
Icmlcux and Sir Lomer Gouin, or OF
Conservative leaders, such as the Hon
p. I. Blondin and T. Chase Casgrain;
il neutralized the enthusiasm OF
young French Canadians. such as Cap

OF the rebel leader Of 1887. who wrote

printing, and 1t was hoped that It
would be in circulation by the end OF
the year. The revised Mandarin Bible,
on which United States and British

been working, would be completed by

circulation was very wide one, as 1t
was estimated there were 800,000,0 600

An unusual garment appears In
the full cape of velvet with big collar
Of skunk fur. This collar is a short
square cape across the back extended

Be Thankful Every Day.

The purely passive contemplation Of
all good ought to be granted to conn
mon days on which no more has oc-
Cured than the daily round Of little
pleasures and the absence of more
than ordinary annoyances. With the
evening offering Of a silent thanksgiv-
Ing to God we take conscious posses
sion Of simple happiness and enjoy
It once again, instead Of slipping of
past Gods best gifts as men so often
do. Thus thanksgiving involves the
recognition: All this good Is from
God, and this recognition reacts on our
own mood, creating conscious Joy and
humble trust In the God who win con-
tinue to bless In things both great
and small.
