{ well known Kid- have cured lout the war, from first rall to arms to HS -- ST GIES Of TO DIRECT SPIRIT OF REJOIC- ING TO GOD. Stirring Words Uttered by the Rev. G. L. Starr--The Duty of the Church at the Present Juncture. The death of Miss Harriet Rice has removed one of those who way be classed among the best of women, quiet, umostentatious, but thoroughly devoted ta charity and good works. On Sunday morning in St. George's cathedral, the dean of Ontario, at the close of a very forcible sermon upon the duties: of religious observance and remembrance throughout the week of christion duties referved to Miss Rice as-an exempler of christian life. No- thing would be further from ber wishes, were she to express an opin jon, than an eulogy, but he conld not refrain from 4 few words in re membrance- of a fite so valuable. te the parish and so full of meaning to all who should be good christians. in the evening Rev. G. L. Starr preached from Psalm 3 and 4: "But thou, O Lord, are 5 shield for me; my glory, and the Biter up of mine head. eried unto the Lord with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill" He said every vie- tory and every defeat had 4 spiritual significance. Canada had again been called upon to rejoice in the bravery and ey of her sons. Press and chronicle paid glowing tribute to their memory, and the speaker felt that it was the church's duty to direct the present spirit of rejoicing to Him te whom victory belongeth and whose name is ified by every deed of heroism and act of bravery, He said the whole war had been a sermon. At the beginning we undoubtedly trusted to our own utréngth, the wenlth of our nation, the dash and valor. of our soldiers. The defeat of the Boers was a foregone conclusion, The Blessing and protéction of Al mighty God was desnied unnecessary, but very soon learned that we had en- countered a foeman worthy of our steel, and the best laid plans of our wisest generals were baulked. At tempts to 'rouie them were in vain and the names of Spion Kop, Paarde berg and Modder River tell of the iearful carnage. TY was then a change sept over the British nation and we called upon the Lord with our voice, not alone privately, but publicly in the congregation. ' Beginning with St, Paul's cathedral, London, the centre of the émpire, a wave of intercession has swept the land, Our troops, under Gen. White and Gen. Roberts, joined in the prayer, and the result--the tide of fortune turned and beginning with the relief of Kimberley to the splendid triumph of Mafeking, the Lord's hand was apparent. The victories came in & way to stir our hearts in admira: tion of our brave defenders.

What Mr. Davitt Says of the Boer Chieftain. In his new book, "The Boer Fight For Freedom," Michael Davitt this to say about Gen. Delarey : Jacob Hendrick Delarey first saw the light in the district of Leichien- Burg Bity-dour years ago. His father wus born in the Orange Free State and was of Hugenot' ongin. He took part with Pretoriug in driving the English out of Bloemfontein in 1848, and had his farm abd property con- fiscated after Sir Henry Smith bad re- versed the situation by forcing the ola Boer warriors back again across the Vaal. The Delareys sought a hew home in the west of the Transvaal, hers Jacob Hendrick spent his early ife. The general is a man over the medi am height, sinewy in build, and re markable for his quiet, dignified man rer. He bas deep set, dark eves, a prominent Roman nose, and a large, dark-brown beard, giving to his face a strong, handsome and patrician ex- pression. He was born of a fightity family, and has had the experience and train ing of campaigns in conflicts with hostile Kaffir tribes. His first com- mand was in the war which the Eng lish incited the Basutos to wage against the Free State in the early sixties, when he was quite young, These experiences qualified him for a prominent military position when the present war broke out, and was unanimously elected to the conmmand of the Lichtenburg burghers who be came part of Cronje's western column. He represented his native district in the Volksraad for ten vears, and was & constant supporter of Joubert, as against the Kru following in that assembly. He yore a large fran chise concession to the Uitlanders as a means of averting a conflict with soon saw that a de mand for political reforms was only a pretext for precipitating a conflict. He was one of the most araent advo- cates of an attacking, as against a defensive, 'military policy when Eng land forced a resort to hostilities up on the republic, Like Gen®Cronje, he carries no wea pons in the field. His field glass, wooden pipe, and last, but not least, his bible, are hie inseparable com- panions. He is & universal favorite with the burghers of hoth republics, and inspires great confidence in his men by his almost unetring military judgment, splendid generalship, heroic courage, an indomitable tenacity of purpose and an all-round resourceful ness in all emergencies. He is remarkably self-contained in his - actions, never getting excited, even in the thickest of the fight, but always remaining cool, cautious and alert, Deserves Public Support. "A Reader" in the Hamilton Spee- tator answers the editor who in as sailing Pr. Grant, says he seeks aid "for his private college; "his own little school and creed bound col loge." The writer says Queen's is un denominational and proceeds : "You say again the people's money shoud go to Toronto university. nsk why ¥ Is not Queen's university engaged in as noble a cause as To ronto university ¥ "Tis true she is not turning out as many men and women; but it is goality we want more than quantity, and I think you will find graduates of Queen's univer sity holding as good positions and doing as good Wolk as those Hf any other Canadian wmiversity. And sooner this qualitative spirit is im- bued by the Aation the sooner will the nation advance to a more perfect state of development. When gur Just day comes the decisive guestion will be not 'what have you done, but what have you tned to do? And | don't believe that principal Grant is endeavoring to build - up his sehool' for its own sake or his own sake. Far nobler is his aim and is the aim of every true eflucator. His mission is to develop and enrich his country in and through the university, and who shall say he is not fulfilling his mis sion? The fact that graduates of Queen's university are on the profes sional stali of Toronto university should be sufficient to satisly the writer that the 'little school' is of more importance and deserves the support of the public; if not of To ronto university itself.' : the Lieat.-Col.
