To the members of the 14th Regi- ment Rev. C. K. Bourne, the curate of BL. George's cathedral. preached a h and Ha repre- ive of the ary of Israel, who the chailenge. The text was to from I Samuel xvii:10 ~--~"Give me a man that we may ght together. During the Sourse 0 Mr. Bourne said iia demanded a man, "ut his measure of man- hood was mere physical strength. We gre far from dispising physical strength. It is a priceless asset and any soldier im- | pairing his own by evil courses is an. enemy of himself, the army, and the country. But physical strength we can accept as the final meas- ure of hood, as Goliath did. Our idea of mannood involves a test of character, and by that act we call little David 2 greater hero than big Golath." "How pitiful is the soldier who is,' ashamed. of Jesus, and, therefore, ashamed of perfect cleanness of word and life, ashamed ol courage, ashamed of heroism." Mr: Bourne indicated hefe that rumor had tole there wer» a few such even in Kingston, that in one of the bar- rack rooms men who dared at first openly to confess Christ by kneeling at night to say their prayers, suc- cumbed to fiylng boots and epithets, and took refuge beneath the bed clothes. "But one man stood the . teat," said the curate, "and he be- Jonged to the Salvation Army. All honour to the Salvation Army that can prod such men. They are of thé same fibre that answered the in- sulting challenge long ago, 'Give me a man, that we may fight together.' Why, some ancient and respectable churches cannot produce enough self- dizcipled mou to undertake the slen- det burden of teaching in the Sun- day school. They are fit only to brave the perils of the Cataraqui in a pioter boat or the charms of Gan- anpgue in -an.antomdbdile. They seem to the finest fibre of manhood like some soldiérs. They shirk difi- cult "tasks...

May the time soon come when every able-bodied male Canadian may be an efficient soldier. . How to effect that issue must be left to wiser heads than mine. Yet here it is not im- 'possible to stund a note of warning. It is a serious thing to allow a man to be wholly his own master. He can, and often does, misuse his liber- ties. Being. free to do right, he thinks himself free to do anything he pleases. Liberty becomes license. 'The Individual intent upon his own tancles is oftan careless and neglect- ful of the welfare of others. Indi- vidualism betomes over-strained and communistic duties abjured. The churches furnish excellent indica- tions of this tendency. a May 18th. wright's residence. others, antism, as in British civilization, in- dividualism is -the paramount idea, with the. result that church mem- bers are anxious just to please them- selves.

As a consequence the ministry of Protest- ant churches is mainly concerned with pleasing their people rather than sin them, "especially the wealthy nd influential members thereof. As in the church, so in the army, men must beware of over- strained individualism, ber that only and remem- in unity is strength, and by subjection to the central authority they but show ' common sense.
