ASSERS SECURED FOR VICTORY | Why Shoald Kingston Not Contribute $1,500,000--The School Parade! | On Thursday Afternoon Approximately $825,000 has been | subscribed to the Victory Loan in | this city and the county of Frontenae | according to figures given out at headquarters on Tuesday morning. About $70,000 was secured on Mon- day by the canvassers who are striv- ing to attain the million mark before the end of the week. If another half million ean be found in the last week of the campaign they will be supremely happy when the grand total is announced, and Frontenac will be in the place of honour with millions to her credit. It would be an achievement worthy to be placed in the historical annals of the great accomplishments of this city. "On to the million" is the slogan for this week, and it is to be hoped that the slogan "on to one and one- half millions" will be the aim in a few days. Strenuous efforts are be- ing made to have a Victory Loan but- ton worn 'by mearly every person in the city, and the canvassers and var- ious committees are giving every sup- port to the campaign. The School Parade. A committee of teachers met last evening and decided that the '"'buy a Victory Bond" parade will leave each school at 1.30 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Those contri- buting cars and horse vehicles will please be at the schools shortly after one o'clock. It was also decided to have a bicycle parade, hence all boys who own wheels will please take them to their respective schools. Horse vehicles as well as cars will be used, as it is feared a sufficient number of the latter will not be ob- tainable. It would take 450 to meet the requirements. Horse trucks and spring and delivery waggons will be most acceptable. The parade will be under the con- trol of Major W. J. McManus, dis- trict adjutant. riders all along the line, who take every precaution to avoid acei- dents. The route will take in the city on both sides of Princess street. + Spoke in Theatres, The "four-minute men' spoke in the theatres of the city on Monday evening, and throughout the week citizens will have the need for sub- scribing to the Victory Loan im- pressed upon them.

Is Now in England. by W. T. Minnes that his son, Wil- There will be out. | will | # | Rowell will speak at the Stratford Tuesday morn. Word was received from England Miss THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS Is Coming Soon--Address Given in gos? the L.B.S.A, Hall. An intensley intoresting and time- ly educational and scriptural lecture Was given .in the I.B.S.A Hall, Mon- day evening to a well satisfied aud- ience on the vital subject, "The De- sire of All Nations Coming Soon." The speaker W. W. Black, V.D.M,, Halifax, presented the subject in forceful and convincing language ac- companied by meny scriptural quo- tations, He took as the central scripture testimony, "Truth shall spring out of the earth and right- eousness shall look down {from Heaven. Mercy and truth have met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other," (Psalms LXXXYV.) Mankind has been slow in learning the moral lesson, said the speaker, that moral law violated brings its logical result, retribution just as surely as does natural law, measurable disregard of the lessons sixty centuries of history should have taught, has brought upon us the climax of trouble which to-day has involved the whole world. God "causes the wrath of min to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath He restrains." - The logical inference is that when international troubles have stamped their lesson upon the hearts of men, then, chastened) through sorrow the wer emerge from the shadows &nd hail the New Kingdom as "The Desire of all Nations, "(see Haggai 11: 6-7; Zeph. 111: 8,9.) Our great mistake seems to have been a failure to note that retribu- tion does not always follow closely upon ithe wrong it is intended to chastise. "God's eyelids try the 'chil- dren of men," seems to have been written as suggesting that He seems not to Ye noticing the course - the nations are taking, thus testing the sentiments underlying their acts, The address was specially free from criticism of nations or peoples, claiming that while it was the duty of the hour to try and get our bear- ings and try and understand why Di- vine power does not intervene too quickly 'speak peace to the nations, "it is not ours specially to criticise, but to try and adapt ourselves to the Lord's arrangements. Concluding, the speaker strongly urged our heed- {ing the scripture testimony, that for a time the administering of affairs of the earth are to be transferred to the rule of Christ, and later handed over to mankind, when reverence for God has taken its propér place on controlling men's minds. Then, God's will, "will 'be done on Earth as it is now, done in Heaven. "Man will have come into his own; the "Lost Eden," be fully restored.
