Canon Starr Speak of the Great Congress at Halifax, "He is the Head of the body, the church." was the Dean's text for lus address on the Halifax Congress, al choral celebration at St. George's ca- thedral, on Sunday. He chose the words, he said, because they seemed to embody all that the congress had taught, First those in sttendance had been impressed by the magnificence of the body to wh Body of Christ. There was a sense union with all parts of the world, not only with the empire but with the sister church across the line. And more important had been the impression of the divine nature of the church. for when they saw men grown grey in her service, when they saw the sacrifices made, they knew that the power hehind them had come from Him, who is Head of the body. Never was there a church congress more uplifting. The Canadian church bas great problems before her, big burdens to carry, but when oue saw men. particularly the YOounyz men, reddy to go forward at the calb=thy words of the Acts "they thanked God and took courage' seam: ed most fitting. ' Touching on the first English ser- vies, held 200 vears ago in the little chapel which had been used by the French, and on the extent of territory over which the first bishop of Nova -Seotis ruled, he =aid "the present bithop is a personal fifend of many of us, and Kingston may thrill with pride that she gave to Nova Seotia one whose name will never He forgot. ten, because it will dlways be identi fied with the founding of the great cathedral." - Describing the lattér Dean Bidwell spoke of its impressive gothic architecture, its seemly farnishings and then of the stately cpening service in which 40 hishops and over. 300 clergy joined, and said that while the congress of another hranch of the church may have had more spectacu- lar details, he did not believe it sur- passed the opening service in Halifax in impressivensss and sincerity. All had been dome quietly and with that reverence we are proud to believe is a characteristic of our beloved church, where all is done for worship and not as a spectacle to the multitude. The men at the congress were of a splendid type. Now and again one was inclined to be pessimistic, feeling that sufficient men were not coming forward for the work of the priest hood, or that the type of man offering was not a sufficiently high stan dard, but it did one's heart good fo see the young men of promise there, men deeply in earnest who recognized that the priest must not sojourn in the church, but must step out into the market place, mingling man with man, The attendance and the interest taken, too, were marvellous--crowds at the daily meetings in hall, the two - big churches, cathedral and St, Paul's, packed for the night but perhaps the greatest cause for con- gratulation was the entire unity. There was no high, low or broad, and hard- ly a trace of the old-time bitterness of party strife. The dean touched briefly on some of the great personalities of the congress, and said he bedught the promise of the Bishop of London to the cathedral congregation that when he next eross- ex the water Re will preach there. "The church has proved by the ~ongress, ber power of attracting the good and the strong men to her service, and so long as we get - men who beliove in the church we need pay no attention to the charge that we are drifting either to agnosticism or Rome. No one pre- sent at the congress but could see the absolute untruth of these statements. The men, there, stood for the faith and were full of complete confidence in $ | our own church and we all believe she will be fit for the work which her Head has called her to perform." Canon Starr's Sermon, "As for the truth it endureth and is alvays strong, it liveth and oon: quereth for ever." Op these stitking words from Esdras, Canon Starr bas- od his sermon, at evensong, and his subject was the great congress just concluded at Halifax. The spirit of the conbress had heen a spirit of mass meetings, warfess inv estiggtion. H the chaveh in the past bad been open) to eriticism ior slughrishoess in grasping the veel of fitting the old truth to wew condi tions, that charge is trae no longer, She is facing today's problems with courage, sympathy snd power, and she stands fearless because possessing that truth whieh conquereth. Fearful possibly, in the past of the discoveries 'of svience and the march of the high- ar ériticiem, today she extends wel. coming handy to Hoth. She doesn't re fuse to hear Jew, Turk, Infill, or so-called heretic, but will learn from all, who from a sincere and honest heart, can contribute anvthing toward unity. "Ours was a eucharistic congress" said the preacher, "lor each day was consecrated Hy the eucharist, the com- munion of the body and the blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ. The church of of England helieves that the power of the eucharist lies hot alone i i outward honour ta, but in the a. ing of this body broken and blood shed, and three times on the opening day of the congress was it celeirated that all nah Zein inspiration and power Touching on the recent unfortunate the | remarks made in Montreal, by a vis- iting Romamist, Canon Starr said : "It is time that we Anglicans looked to our heritage. Strange that a member of that foreign mission, which has been. so generously treated in British dominions, should have spoken as he did. Romanists are seldom so unwise or discourteous. We rightly resent his J assertions that "one hall of the Eng- lish church is drifting into agnostic ism and the other hall creeping back to Rome" As to his remarks on "soulless religion," with that we have nothing to do. Such Words could nev- er apply to the Catholic Church of England, which has ever offered the sacrifice according to her Lord's com- mand, and received the communion, in both kinds, as He appointed. 1 re peat, we respect our Roman Catholic brethren for devotion, but we feel that Christianity is too big to allow one body to waste time in criticizing anoth- er, and our mother church strong in the truth which liveth forever, is going forth into the world's life, 'strong as the sun, fair as the moon, and terrible as an army with banners.' io --pp Bombarding Airships, Mantreal Herald, A series of careful and comprehen. sive tests just completed by British artillery officers at Whetland Bay, bave shown that an airship of ordi- sary size, floating at an altitude of jour thousand feet or over and not nearer than two miles to the observer, is practically immune from injury from any ol the erdinary weapons with which KEaropean armies are equipped. A chance bbllet or a lucky shell may, naturally, always do dam- age at so comparatively short a range but, as far as observations show, the danger to un seronsut from a fu- silade directed up at him from any enemy whose position he was recon- noiteitg, would be so small 'as to be practically mot worth considering. For two days the guns at Whetland Bay blazed away at a dummy drawn through the air at the required eleva- tion and distance, and not a single hit was recorded. Uuick-firing twelve- pounders and Howitzers were used in- discrintinately, Hut with equal lack of success. There is no chance that this wate of afiffairs will be allowed to ex- ist unchanged for any long period of time. If existing weapons cannot be adapted to cope with the new terror of the air, we may be quite sure that soniething will be desigmed very short- ly that can. Where profit as well as necessity urges, fovention is not apt to flag. hn Knotked Out by Pictures, Hamilton Times. ~Jn the course of the trial of a mari- tal dispute in New York a few days ago a comedian stated that he used to earp $10 to 850 a week on the stage, but that wince the moving pic- ture shows became the vogue, he was unable to support his family, Here is another economic tragedy.

CANNOT BE ARRESTED: Ambassadors and Their Servants Are Immune. Except on felony charges peers of the realm are immune from arrest If they are arrested for treason or felony they can demand to be tried by their fellow nobles; and should they have the misfortune to be sen- tenced to death they can exact the use of a silken cord instead of the hempen rope commonly used by the public hangman. The members and servants of every } one of the foreign embassies to the Court of St. James's cannot be touch- ed by British laws, even if they com- mit murder. The official headquar- ters of the representatives of foreign powers in London are the territory of the jcular country or state which the embassy in question repre- sents. This being so, the laws passed by Parliament and the judges, being operative only in the nions of the King, have no effect upon the persons residing in the little foreign "countries." The reason why ambassadors and their servants have this advantage over the average Britisher is that during the reign of Queen Anne @ statute was passed by the law makers owing to an imbroglio arising from the seizure of s Russian envoy's ef fects for debt. This law, which was passed for "the preserving of the privileges .of Ambassadors und other public Ministers of foreign Princes and States," has it that any person "presuming to prosecute any writ or for the arrest or imprison. ment of an Ambassador or his domes- ties shall be deemed a violator of the law of nations." Though exemption from criminal courts is granted to foreign diplomats and their servants, there is po writ- ten law declaring the fact. It is merely a privilege of international law. Immunity from criminal juris- diction was not always granted to these persons, for it is on record that a secretary of the Portuguese Lega- tion, who was arrested for killing a man in the Royal Exchange, was tried by jury, found guilty, and sen- tenced to death. Although it is generally known that the laws of Britain eannot af fect in any way the King or any member of his family, most people are not aware that no civil action can ssibly lie against the servints of His Majesty, including lords of the bedchamber and other officers of the household. The employes of the King while being immune from ar- rest, cannot go free if they commit a crime, however. All misdeeds com- mitted within the precincts of the royal palaces and résidences are tried by special courts presided :over by the rd Steward, Treasurer, Comp- troller, and Master of the Household. Any crimes committed by the ser vants at Buckingham Palace are al- judicated on by the Board of Green Cloth, whose powers are limited to a circuit of twelve miles from White. hall; while the Court of Marshalsea, which dates from the reign of Henry Viil., administers justice between the King's servants at Windsor and else. where. Beth courts are ruled over by the high officials stated Members of Parliament cannot be arrested while actually within the precincts of the Commons, anl they are immune while Parlinment is in session and for forty days before and after.

His colleagues were greatly upset at the incident, and the adjournment of the House was mov. ed, a committed being appointed to consider the alleged breach of privi- lege. The breach was finally rm- ed, and the unfortunate officer was severely censured by Parliament. Barristers on circuit, solicitors en- gaged on a case, and witnesses in any case are temporarily protected from arrest, and clergymen enjoy the same privilege while actually con- ducting divine service. ---------------------- Indian Sedition Trials, The activity of the Calcutta police in the search for arms continues. One wight recently the authorities raided a house in Northern Calcutta, and found two revolvers, some gun barrels, and a quantity of cartridges. The occupants of the house are two Bengali youths, who, however, suc ceeded in effecting their escape. In- formation received by the police pointed to this house being the centre of 8 new conspiracy. Meanwhile the special tribunal is engaged upon the trial of thirteen tespectable Bengalis from Khulna, whom the Government charge with conspiracy to wage war against the King. When these pro- ceedings are over, the tribunal will try the sensational Howrah couspir- acy case. There are forty-five accus- ed, some of whom are men > wealth position.
