Christmas was ushered in by terrific
snow storm, street earn blocked, traffic
impeded and Santa Claus delayed sew
eral hours.
The concert and Christmas tree ar
ranged for Tuesday evening was de-
ferred until Christmas night, so as to
wait the arrival Of Santa Claus, and
for paths to be broken through the snow
drifts so that the children could at
tend. The concert given under the di-
rection Of Mrs. Mamie E. Moore was
highly enjoyed. Mr.. Geo. w. Smith, in
a few well chosen words, commended
the work Of the Sunday School, and
Mrs. Moore for the splendid entertain
ment. He then introduced Mrs. Matte
Foster to the audience. Mrs. Foster, in
her winsome but modest way, presented
to the pastor and wife, in behalf of the
church, silver Offering Of $23.00 as a
Christmas present.
We are now closing one Of the most
successful years in the history of the
church. Every auxiliary interested and
hard at work. The Sunday School
under Mrs. Ida Byrd has progressed as
never before; the Mission Circle, pre-
sided over by Mrs. Moore, the pastor s
wife, is telling force in the uplift Of
the church; the B. ". r. y, under the
capable president, Mrs DR.. Philips, is
inspiring, and means much for the

UNREST OF BRITISH LABOR NOT 4 NEW
 OUTGROWTH OF WAR
Long Before H0stilities Broke Out Strong Organi- cations Had Planned
 Great Strike
By MAJ. BRYAN COOPER.

London, April 10.-(Speciai )-Labor un- rest in England had been a severe men ace to the speedy consummation of peace. It has distracted Lloyd Georges energies, encouraged the Russian bolshe- vists, and helped to raise falacious hopes in the minds of Germany's rulers. For the moment the danger of a big strike seems to have been ayerted, but there are still clouds on the horizon. and so it is worth while to try to analyse the causes of industrial discomfort.
 Unrest among British workers is by no means a new phenomenon. Before the war, there had been formed the now celebrated Triple Alliance" of miners, railway men, and transport workers, and the trade unions representing these workers had planned big strike for the beginning of 1915. The war frus- trated this; outside South Wales and Glasgow Cboth of which are Celtic rather than English) the working man was too patriotic to assist the Germans by strike. His mates, his neighbors, even his brothers had enlisted, and he didn't intend to let them down. But in spite of his good resolves (possibly be- cause the keeping of good resolutions for a prolonged period is a weariness to the flesh) he became more discontented with his lot as the war went on and re- solved as soon as peace came that he would alter it.
 Various causes contributed to this dis content In the first place. the response to the various appeals for war loans came as revelation to the working man. He had had no idea that there was so much money in the country and once he realized he became resolved that if it was so easy to get money for war purposes it ought to be equally easy to obtain money in order to ameliorate his conditions of living. Being unversed in political economy he naturally failed to understand that the borrowing powers of country are limited, and that the most urgent necessity for Great Britain after the war would not be an increase of expenditure but the restoration of her credit. He only saw that more money than he had formerly believed possible. existed, and he resolved to get his share of it.
 Another powerful factor in fomenting trade unrest, was the widespread belief in 'profiteering.' Under war conditions 1t has often happened that men of no particular capacity or industry have gained enormous fortunes almost by ac- cident, because they happened to hold or control large stock of some ma- terial of such paramount importance for military or other purposes, that it had to be bought whatever the cost. Natur- ally the workers know of this: in town like Glasgow or Cardiff it is impossible
