British Subjects Will soensBe subiec
 to Draft.

The victory of kaiserisn will mean
 for labor the death of liberty. To de-
 feat kaiserism will benefit the German people as well as the world at large.
 All that civilization means remains at
 stake, yet, comparatively speaking, the
 British subjects in this country have done very little to help Great Britain in this great struggle. Lieut., J. ]. Todd, the officer com : handing the British and Canadian re : i'erliting mission at New Haven, says lfiat while receiving volunteers daily, j the number should be double what it is.
 The fact remains that the draft bill ] has been signed by the United States government and now awaits the final signature of parliament. As soon as i this has been done the man who is eligible for service, whether married Or single. will be taken in the United l States army immediately. He will 1 have. no choice, whereas. at the pres ] ent time, 6 nnaa with dependents can choose, and if he signs up with the !, Canadian @oTarnlnent he will be sure ! of getting at least S69 month for his family.

 nest, sometimes repairing the old.'' A
 pair has some seasons built their nest
 on a bear under a portico on Hunting

The song is loud, clear, .neledious carol This species winters in the southern states Robins are now about our homes, looking for places for nest ing, and the song sparrow's sweet notes and thrill is heard mofnings.S At Bear.

BIBLE srlG3y AT Y. M. C. A.
A Man Beth. Brave and Faithful Was d. Topic of Evening.

:, The Young Mems Bible class held a session at. the 1Y. M. c. A. Tuesday evening, taking for the study topic A Man Both Brave and Faithful. The character selected was Daniel, and the scripture used was the first chapter of the book of Daniel. The following facts were brought out in the study:
 Daniel and his three friends were evidently well born, and Daniel espe- ciaiiy had many talents and ability to use them to good advantage. When he entered the court of the kings he had at once an opportunity to advance and at the same time he was subjected te great temptations, as the kings court had a low moral atmosphere, afid
 therefore Daniel and his friends had
 real fight on their hands to hold true to their ideals and maintain their religious life.
 When the temptation to fall in with
 the habits of the king and the people |7ofF his court was presented to him, he
 at once purpesed in his heart that he could not comply, but he used the
 wits God had given him and taetfully mastered the situation and became victor instead of victim. He. at once determined that he would not do ae- cerding to the preverh: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.,'
 While Daniel did not necessarily know exactly what the result would i be, yet he had implicit faith in God tc
 give him the victory. The contrast between Daniel and many young men l is that he had definite purpose while I the 'yhave none, and here is the reason for his success and for their failure l The average young man does not plar
 to do wrong: they simply have nc purpose at all and the result is they drift and drift, and this sort of a life always ends in failure Resolution 1T litself is not sufficient; the perform: lanee Of the resolution is the thine l needed Daniel purpesea in his hear that, sink or swim, live or die, .ht l would carry out his resolution and ht 1 did so and succeeded.
