W. G. John- son, president of the Alma Mater So- ciety delivered the farewell address fo the engineers, to which Lieut. Douglas Ellis replied. There was a air attehdance of citizens, and Le- {ore the meeting opened, the engi- aeers enlivened things with songs and college yells. ou Principal Gordon spoke briefly, before calling upon Dr. Dyde. He said that it was most fitting that a for- nter professor of Queen's should be chosen for such an honored position and all would join in extending him a warm welcome. Both the studeats and members of the stall coerisucd for him affectionate esteem. Dr. Dyde, in his opening remarks, stated that he regarded his appoiat- ment as rector, as the greaiesti compliment paid to him in nis life, and he returned sincere thanks for the, honor, He spoke on national duty, of Canada and our national spirit, and our relationship and duty to the empire. He pointed out that in Canada we have always had, and would coptinue to have, different na- tionaities and creeds, but in spite of this we were all Canadians and we at all times had to consider our position from the position of the cm- pire. There was a duty we all owed 0 the empire The speaker referred to the quick response made by Canada in the pre- sent great conflict. Canada would al- ways be ready to pay her share in ev- ery crisis the empire might find her- self. And there must also be feel- ing for other nations in time of peace as well as in times of war fair play. The British fair play, times. Great would never Qave acted as Germany had done. Better to lose than to win with shame What was fair play? It could be said to be giving everyone an equal chance in the race of life. Abraham Lincoln, in addressing soldiers at Washington on one oceasion had said, "you are fighting so that each one of you might have the chance to stand where I stand today, and so that we might all have an equal zhance in life." There was true and 'racy. True democracy to level up, while false democracy tended to level down. True stood at critical country false demo- best that was in life. This was characteristic of British fair play. It was characteristic of the British em- pire to play the game fair and to :tand shoulder to shoulder. ing particularly of Canada, the speak er said that the prevailing spirit should be to have the world for Can- ada and Canada for the world W. G. Johnson, president of Alma Mater Society, in his farewell address to the engineering spoke of the ready dents had made to duty's call. It showed that the spirit of was still a spirit of sacrifice Principal Gordon addressed a words to the rs, stating he voiced the feelings of every ber of the. staff when he best wishes, with the hope and pray- er that all would return, home, for the warm welcome which would await them The college staff and students worked closely together, there was no distance between them they were just like one family.

We marched it with our full, equipment, including blankets, in three hours, which was pretty good marching, and there were a lot of us with sore feet the next day. We are in corrugated iron houses, here, ra- ther more comfortable than being cramped up in a tent, as we had been for over two months before we got into this. camp. There are lots of English soldiers here as there is a re- gular barracks town just a short dis- tance from our camp. The New Zealand contingent is algo right be- e us. It gets rather cold here at nights and when it is pot cold it al- ways rains. The days are fine how- ever, when it is dry, and the wind is net too strong. We are drilling all the time here, up at daylight, drill all day and then out half the night on night manoeuvres, We have night rcute marches every week or so and do ten or fifteen miles across coun- try, no talking or smoking allowed, ard only one rest of ten minutes. The grub we are getting is %iot up to he standard of that we had at Val- er We have ham, tea and bread for breakfast, Mulligan stew and bread for dinner; cheese, jamand brcad for supper.

Dyde, College, Strathcona, Alberta, was the preac wer at the Sunday morning ser vice in Convocation Hall, aud during during his comrse spoke of the House of God. - _ ' "What would become of our religion if there was no place for us to ga ther together and worship Mod 7' asked the speaker. "What would be come of our schools and our educa tion if we bad no place to gather for the purpose of study and talk ? What would become of our business life if our business places were clos ed? 1 think if © our churches: were closed, and the name of God not pro nounced in public, it would be difli- cult for us to maintain our religious tlife. Of course 'we would do = what we could, but we' would lose the real element in our religious life. Iu meot- ing together in this way we strengthen and deepen ourselves." Paul's idea of the house of God, in his letter to the Corinthians, was ! that the believer of God is the tem- | ple of God, that the spirit of God was in him. Peter put omphasis on the point that the individual must be the liv. ing stone.
