before our eyes what great and Won
derfully large gatherings OF Christian
workers, such as the Worlds Sunday
School conventions, the Christian En-
deavor conventions, the Men and Re-
ligion Forward movements have been
possible within the last few years. IL
is a marvel before our eyes also to
what an extent and with what effect
the power of advertising has been
used in the service of the Gospel
Now, what is 1t that the young men
OF the clergy to-day especially desire?
They are not In great sympathy with
the hairsplitting sophistries of ancient
and detailed theology. More than ever
the young ministers of to-day want to
touch the real throbbing hearts Of
humanity and mankind. Instead of
feeling that all grace and salvation
and knowledge of the truth are con-
tanned in the past. they now feel that
the world Is on the threshold of re-
birth In matters connected with the
eternal verities. To understand the
world, TO touch the hearts, interest the
minds and create a divine atmosphere
here in this aging world, that is the
task that the young men OF the clergy
are setting themselves to-day.
There is last direction that must be
suggested. We feel that we have a
right. nay. that 1t Is our duty, TO make
greater and more generous use Of the
"so-called modern inventions and dis
coveries." We feel that the Gospel has
wings, and that 1t carries with itself
the power of converting men. but we
feel that this Gospel must be brought
to the attention Of men Of to-day In
as many different ways as Is humanity
possible-making use of all such
means as the telephone. the telegraph.
the cable, the automobile. the air
plane. the newspaper and magazine.

II the world war taught them any

There is neither justification nor ex-

Now Is the Accepted Time
For Great Church Revival

We feel that the present century Is
on the rising tide of a great revival In
church life. A simpler faith. more
all inclusive organization and more
spiritual communion with God will be
born. No one can read the future, but
all things point TO more genuine and
direct faith in God and His principles
for the coming years. We young
preachers will welcome any leaders,
even though they be bold and icono-
elastic. who will be able 10 combine all
the conflicting views OF Professionalism
into one great. powerful and over
wheimingly triumphant church. That
is our hope, prayer and ambition.

Civilization Hangs in Balance
And Must Be Fought For

The fate OF civilization has always
hung in the balance. There are GER
tain ideals of civilization which can
not be destroyed. Throughout the
ages we have fought and striven on
ward and upward to establish and to
maintain justice, mercy and liberty
and we will ever fight to maintain
them, to the end that the largest
measure of happiness may be enjoyed
by all. But it has been a fight,
Our victory over Germany and her
allies has once more demonstrated the
fact that might alone does not make
right Right will always triumpt in
its might. 1t is unwise. however, not
to be prepared.
The progress of humanity through
out the centuries is marked by the
bloody hattlefields which have made
possible our achievements, and so it
will ever be. Civilization in itself COM
prehends a struggle to advance; the
opposition it meets must be overcome.
The arts of peace will not always pre-
vail. Nations, no more than individ-
uals. will always keep their plighted
word. When principle or honor is at
stake no man or nation is entitled to
tain them. Arbitration is not a per-
feet specific or alternative for war.
I'm the administration of Govern
ment." said President Cleveland, "dif-
ficulty often arises in the attempt to
carefully apply ideas which in them
selves challenge unqualified approval"
Volumes have been written and
speeches many hours in length deliv-
cred which do not SO effectively or ef-
fectually define the attitude of all lib
erty loving, law abiding. peaceful per-
sons as did that great Democrat when,
in replying to a memorial from mem
bers of the British House of Commons
in favor Of submitting to arbitration all
questions of international dispute, he
| said: II promise you a faithful and
careful consideration of the matter. and
I believe l may speak for the American
people in giving the assurance that
they are in accord with your wish to
see the killing of men for the accom-
plishment of national ambition abol-
| ished, and that they will gladly hail
the advent of peaceful methods in set
uement OF national disputes so far as
this is consistent with the defense and
protection of our countrys territory,
and with the maintenance Of our ma
tional honor, when 1t affords a shelter
and repose for national integrity and
personifies the safety and protection of
our citizens" A complete, perfect and
sufficient answer.

SO LET US PREPARE. WARNS EDUCATOR

Hudson Maxim, will be the human
nature of tomorrow will be in all es-
sentials the same as ii was in ancient
Rome. Persia and Egypt. and even in
the palmy days of sea sunk Atlantis" "
This does not necessarily mean that
civilization Is failure, for as has been
so we'll said by President Nicholas
Murray Butler: Several times the
history OF this world has hung on the
point of spear. Each time the over
ruling Providence which guides and
makes history has seen TO 1t that the
solution was toward the greater free
dom. the greater progress. the greater
liberty, the greater enfranchisement
of man!
If men and nations are engaged in
blind struggle for material gain. for
mere conquest, for revenge, for future
privileges. then what is going on is
in high degree a manifestation OF
bestiality in man. If, on the other
hand, the struggle be one for the es-
tablishment on the largest possible
scale In the securest possible way of
those institutions and opportunities
which make man free. then the con-
test rises to tie sublime. In this lat
ter case every contestant on behalf
of such cause is hero. and every
one who offers his life and his
strength and his substance is a sin
cere lover of his kind"

all those formerly discharged by the
two constituent bodies and cover a
wider and in some respects different
field from that formerly covered by
the Northwest Mounted Police alone.
Criticism was leveled at the force In
the course of the debate on the score
of it's alleged conversion into a secret
service and upon the ground, as stated
by some members. that it has been
employed to spy upon labor activities
and has intensified industrial discord.
The need for what may be called a
secret service cannot be measured by
what is known by the public as to the
nature and extent of the work done
such service to be at all effective must
be secret. If the mounted police have
been employed in checking up the ac-
tivities of any class, industrial or
otherwise, 1t is reasonable to assume
that such action was called for in the
public interest.
Red Outbreak in Winnipeg Was
Soviet Broken Up by Troopers
1t is well known and has been recog-
nized throughout the existence of the
force that no organization. group or
class in Canada, if it's aims and activi-
ties are legitimate. has anything to fear
from the mounted police or any other
body engaged In the preservation OF
law and order.
The service rendered by the Mount
ed" in connection with the red" out
break in Winnipeg, when a virtual
Soviet was set up. was evidence of the
usefulness of the force in this regard
and when j. s. Woodward. one OF the
Soviet leaders, complained OF being
shadowed by mounted policemen he
did much to answer his own criticism.
There are good reasons for main
tanning the Mounted Police Force. but
purely as a civil. not as a military
body. Upon the occasions when 1t has
authorities in the preservation Of order
| it has done so always upon the re-
quest of the local civil authorities, and
for the purpose Of upholding the civil
law. 1t is not now and never has been
a military force in any sense OF the
word, although it's scarlet uniform
gives that impression. An illustration
OF the distinction drawn between II
and the militia was given by the Hon,
Mackenzie King, the Prime Minister,
during the debate when he stated that
request for the. use Of the Mounted
in the mine fields of Nova Scotia had
been refused by him and the local
authorities informed that military pro-
lection could be obtained If necessary.
The annual report just issued shows
that on September 30 1921. the
strength of the force was 20 officers.
1.610 non-commissioned officers and
constables. 1875 horses and 1873 dogs.
or the total OF 1880 officers and men
Ontario had the largest number. 440;
Saskatchewan came next with 329,

and Baffin Island only one. The soli-
tary policeman furthest north is at

Sound and at the northern end of

prevalence OF infanticide raises prob
lens with which humanity demands
that the Government OF Canada should

Increased Duties of Force
Since Reorganization in 1890
Since the force was reorganized in
1920 its duties have been greatly in
creased and an idea of the range may
be gathered from the subjects dealt
with in the report, which shows that
the Mounted Police captured motor
bandits who had been terrorizing Nova
Scotia, investigated and made many
arrests for Illicit drug dealing and
smuggling; captured wreckers who
were looting steamers driven on the
rocks in Nova Scotia recovered reg
istered mail stolen from the post Of
fee: took the census in parts of the
Yukon; supplied guards for the in
come tax Offices, and escorts for har-
vestors' trains; assisted the Indian
Department and polced the Arctic.
How self-reliant and many sided an
officer of the force must be Is strik-
ingly illustrated in the instructions
sent to Staff Sergeant JOY, the non
commissioned officer at the "Farthest
North" post. The instructions, dated
July 6, 1921, are as follows:
"A detachment is to be established
at Ponds Inlet, Bafiin Land. and you
have been selected to take charge OF it.
You are appointed justice of
the peace in the Northwest Territories
in which Baffin Land is situated; a
coroner. a special officer Of the GUS
toms and postmaster of a post office
located at Ponds Inlet.
your general duty is to enforce
law and order in all the district tribu-
tary to Ponds Inlet. and the authority
given you as a justice of the peace and
coroner will enable you to deal with
most cases which may arise OF an in
fraction Of the law.
"As a special officer of the customs
1t will be your duty to enforce the
customs laws and carry out the de-
tailed instructions given you by the
Customs Department. AS postmaster
at Ponds Inlet IL will be your duty to
carry on those duties in accordance
with the post Office regulations.

to the alleged murder Of a Mr.. James
by an Eskimo"

post and reports regarding his han
ding OF the voluminous tasks imposed
on him will be included in next years
