DIR. DAY BREACHES
 ON "THE MYSTIC WAY

The Mystic Way" was the subject of an interesting sermon by the Rev. William Horace Day before a large congregation at the United church yesterday morning. At the vesper hour, the Sacrament of Holy Com- munion was celebrated and number were received into the membership of the church.
 In his sermon on '"The Mystic Way" Dr. Day compared the ways of Martha and of Mary. "Martha's way was the way of service, and she was cumbered with much serving.' She took no time to sit at the Lords feet, and failed to hear his word. ' At the first sight we should say the Master was mistaken in saying that Mary hath found the one thing needful, and yet we recognize that in Mary s life there was diViner service. She waited upon the Lord. His word fell into her heart as a wind-swept seed falls into the heart of the earth. There blossomed the divinest of all services; she gave herself unto the uttermost, her best. her all. Wher- ever the tireless printing press scat ! ters this beautiful story, Marys mem ory is fresh and beautiful, the inspira- tion of all who read"

WHAT IS BASIS
 FOR THE BITTER LEAGUE ATTACK?


 One of the crushing blows to the Nations is a war-breeder is delivered by Article II, reprinted below. This proves so completely to the contrary. reveals so strikingly that the sole end of the League is peace, touches so accurately the great chord which vii brated in human hearts at the end of the war, that no comment is neces- sary:
 Any threat of war, whether imme- diately affecting any of the members of the League or not, is hereby de- clared a matter of concern to the whole League, and the League shall take any action that may be deemed peace of the nations. In case any reiary-General shall, on the request with summon a meeting of the Coun- cil.
 It is also declared to be the fun damental right of each member of the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or of the Counci any circumstance whatever affecting international relations which threat ems to disturb either the peace or the good understanding. between nations upon which peace depends. In place of this, Senator Harding proposes a separate peace with Ger many, after that, he spins a fantas- tic cobweb of words in which the idea, if any, is hoplessly imprisoned.
