The" possibilities of securing large quantities of peat as fuef in view of the coal shortage is engaging ats tention. Large deposits of peat" are to be 'found 'at the door "of most | places in eastern Canada, and it is figured "that Toronto could be sup- plied at $5.80 a ton, There is no doubt but what there will be still greater suffering next winter if a: new fuel supply is not secured. The| Government should take steps to de- velop the peat bogs without delay. The Whig has a sample of peat Wolfe Island, which muniéi- pality contains several thousand acreg of hog. Peat abounds all along there is a good deal of it at the head of the island. The islanders are in no danger of 'a fyel famine so long as this peat is right at their doors. | Enough of it could be collected to ity. . There is said to be a lot of peat throughout Frontenac county. Why not consider the gathering and stor- ing of large supplies of this fuel? PRACTICAL WELFARE WORK. One of the manifold activities of i the people at home, who are doing a great work for the men in the fight- ing line, is that represented by the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, with "headquarters at Wakefield House, Cheapside, London, E.C. 2. aid to men of torpedoed ships, and, owing to the activity of the U-boats, there hps been no lack of such ships. The society, which is'the oldest or ganization for seafarers, last year alone assisted some 17,000 victims of German pirgey. To the suggest- fon that it should atténd to the moral and spiritual "wedare of' the sailors the general secretary replies: "We are doing that, but we also capsider the fact that the sailor is a creature of flesh and blood. Hence, when he steps ashore, shivering and starving, we him; we doctor him and nurse him back to: life; then we 'pay his fare ahd send him rejoicing home. In so doing we expect that we are pro- moting his tioral and spiritual wel- fare in a very practical sort of way." Many readers of the Whig who have contributed to a fund to 'assist this society will be pleased to dearn of the good work it is doing. GOBS TO KEMPTVILLE.

Now the Armenian National Church holds that Jesus was not the Son of (God until he was adopted by God at His baptism. It was then He became in whom 1 am well pleased." The Armenians; therefore, do not celebrate the day of Christ's birth (Dec. 25th), but the day of His adoption (Jan. 6th), and, as they hold to the old calendar, this falls thirteen days after our Jan. 6th, fe., on Jan. 19th. Saturday, 'Jan, 19th, is thus the Atplelial Christmas ang Surday, Jan, 20th, Christmas Sunday in the Armenian Church. But although it 'is the feast of Epiphany which the Chureh observes, they call' Birth," and it ig§popularly are as the day on which the Christ-child was- born. In other words, popular sentiment has transferred the cele- bratioh of'the birth of Christ to the ecclesiastical feast of Epiphany. One reason why the Armenian Church fixed upon Epiphany instead of Christmas as the day on which to celebrate the: birth of Christ is that thie Armenian Church had a hard rsiruggle to maintain its indepen: Christmas, | calen- | oth-| in~| wise men who followed the star} to Bethlehem where they found Jesus Armenian F "the lw of the much weatthior and | Greek-Catholic as it f§.€tyled. or "orthodox" The bjsh "in 491. the and although A.D., the Monophy- ch had been con- ouncil of .C halcedon | themselves anathema- | adopting the creeds] dogmas which had been pro-| mu.gated by the earlier councils of the church at which Armenian bis- nops had ben present.

Now the dootr bearings of the Monophy-. site here were of little concern to the Armenian Church.

The adoption of the doc- trine -that Christ became the Son of God at His baptism and the celebra- tion of the birth on Epiphany instead of on Christmas are only other meth- ods whereby the Armenian Church { marked itse.f off as a distinct eccles- jlastical body and thus preserved its independence, !

The quibs and jokes were mew, the 'general outline eminently British. The extravaganza was of the most popular musicdl type, the topical songs were soulful and pleasing, and when an old melody was given fit simply took the andience by storm.
