The council shoul no longer tolerate such a nuisance. The alder- men from Cataragui ward have a duty to perform. ' At Jast week's conferenee of assessment conmniissioners with' the Ontario govediment it was proposed that: gll church lands should be tax- ed. nd why mot? Can any argu- ment to the ¢ontrary be advanced? The idea of settling returned sol- diers 'on the land and other after- the-war schemes are good to a cer- tain extent. ' But wherever the re- turied soldier wants his &ld job, he should have it, not by 'preference but by right. ' » § In all discussions as to who win the war, it is well to remember this: The British Grand Fleet over four years ago tucked the German fleet safely into bed in the Kiel canal and kept it there until it was ready to come out, not to fight, hut to surrendé®r. £ The initial number of the Whig's new "house organ, "More Pep," has called forth many kindly words of praise from one end of Canada to the other. In the next issue a few representative letters will be repro- duced. 'A free copy of the new magazine be supplied to all those interested enough to apply.' A returned Canadian soldier died ithe other day in the Whitby hospital as a result of his having been for- eibly inoculated with tuberculosis germs while a prisoner in Germany. Such flendighnesa on the part of prison camp commanders should not go unpunished. : There ought to be some way of making Christmas last more than one day.

That He is "alive forevermore" has been unmistak- ably proven by these great facts. But in the midst of our Christ- mas rejoicings we cannot banish the thought of the awful sacrifices which the world has had to pay for this era of universal peace. The Vacant chair at well-nigh every festive board speaks mutely of the loved one gone. But like Him, 'whose birthday we celebrate, they &ave their lives a ransom for the many. They, too. "Wearing their wounds like stars, shall rise again, Jointsheirs with Christ, because they bled to save [His weak ones, not in vain." ~ But despite our keen. individual griefs, there is much cause for thankfulness this Christmastide. The future looms bright with hope, and faith, and confidence and cheerfillness. Humanity stands on a higher plane than it ever did be- Millions of brave men have gladly laid down their lives for the ideal taught by Christ. The world of that sacrifice and the spirit which made it possible.
