The spirit ofthebish ops' deliverance is eminently Christ- ian, and has already awakened sym- | pathetic attention both in the Angil- can communion and in all others. There are many difficulties in the | way---not the least of. which are | | within the Church of England her- | self.

But of all the movements which the past gen-! eration has witnessed none can be | ef greater significance than the de- | sire on the part of all whe call them- | selves Christians to seek the unity ! of the Spirit in the bonds of peace. | The Lambeth Conference has taken | the first step; the various synods of the Church of England will doubt- { less follow with constructive sug- | gestions. Meanwhile an awakened | and anxious Christian 'Canada will | await with interest and expectation | the next step in this greatest of all Forward Movements, A BENEFICIAL ARRANGEMENT. At a time when Ireland was seek- (ing to break away from the Empire 'and set up an independent republie, {another part of the great common- wealth of nations was seeking a closer alliance, not with some foreign power, but with a sister nation within |the Empire. And, strange as it may seem, this movement was located on { the western shores of the Atlantic, | where an entirely different action | was staged a century or more ago. {Reference is made to the recent | agreement entered into by Canada {and the West Indies by which pre- | ferential trade becomes an accom- | plished fact between the two | countries. The danger of American influence in the West Indies has passed. Our | | | | { | and would have welcomed any ad- vance toward a closer economic or political understanding. But Canada, regarding the matter from an imper- ial standpoint, undertook to effect a closer trade alliance between the two peoples, and in this she has sueceed- ed. United Empire expresses it in another way when it states: Any vague idea that the British West Indies are in danger of being lost to the British Empire, either as the re- sult of enterprise and intrigue on the part of an American group, or be- cause these ancient outposts have a certain exchange value, should re- ceive its quietus from the Canada- West Indies Commercial Agreement. The agreement referred to seems also to dispose, for the moment at any rate, of the question of political union between the West Indies and Canada, which some enthusiasts so strongly advocate. Canada grants the various islands of the British West Indies 50 per cent. preference on all imports except tobacco and lHquors, and gets in return a prefer- ence from the islands ranging from 50 per cent. to 10 per cent. To this compact Jamaica is a party. Steam- ship communication between Canada and the West Indies is to be: devel- oped by the dominion. The im- portance of the agreement is two- fold. In the first place, it is a de- liberate attempt to give the West In- dies the opportunity of supplying Canada with the produce which Can- ada has been drawing from Cuba in rapidly increasing quantities; in the second place, it comes at a moment when the Royal Steam Packet Com- pany, the chief link connecting the West Indies with the mother coun- try, have decided to suspend their passenger sailings. Steps will, we hope, be taken at once to ensure the resumption of service on which so much depends. The Canada-West In. dies arrangement -should bring ma- terial benefits as a whole. In any case it is an important development of the preference-within-the-empire idea. . . MUSINGS OF THE KHAN © What Is A Blemish?

Their laying days are o'er, they have reached the sere and yellow leaf, and if one of them finds an ancient egg under a man- ger, for instance, she will camp on it till the cows come home. They are something of a pest. You slip your hand into a manger or & hole in the stack prospecting for eggs and she punches your ticket, as it were. To be bitten by an old hen is no laughing matter. Almost every farmer in the land hath nursed a sore hand at some period in his life through being "pecked" by an old hen, There's where we get our ex- pressive expresion, "A peck of trouble." But you couldm't find a clocking hen setting on a rotten egg in Gum- bo tonight if you turned every barn inside out and puiled all the straw stacks to pieces. They were all sac- rificed to the glory of the Lord in the White Brick last night that the Rev. Mister Duckunder should have a coonskin coat. It was the tough- est meat ever laid out for the edifi- cation and sustenance of the pious people, most of whom had avoided taking any dinner, not to mention supper, at home. The proper way to prepare a clock- ing hen for the table is--first catch your hen, This is no trick. Any fool can catch a clocking hen. Then you steam her for a week. If you boll her she may boil as hard as all get out--no, the best plan is to steam her, that is if you won't 'steem her-- see the joke? Then you brown her in the oven. But you must remember that this is the busiest season of the year by long odds and the women are as busy as the men, and there was no time to do these church hens Justice. I think that most of the hens at the social last night got into the Soup to start with. If you are going to boil a hen for a Christian festival, why not put a few carrots and a young turmot and a tater or two into the pot with her and have some soup? No one will be any the wiser. Just as soon as the soup tastes of chicken you can yank her out, drain her on the rack, wipe her off with a towel, wrap her up in a copy of the Bul- or heifer or cast in her. eye.

The merchant princes, nowadays, | keep tab on all the N. G. joys. There comes to Pruneville-in-the-Vale a stranger, J. Adolphus Kale. He's no apologetic runt; he puts up quite a gorgeous front; he talks as though he owned a mine that turned out gold or rubies fine. In olden times this sort of bluff was really quite artistic stuff. But pow when J. Adolphus goes to stores that deal in furbelows, and says "I've comé to settle down in this, your enterprising town, and need three miles of barb wire fence, which I will pay for three weeks hence" the dealer sighs and says, "By Jones; I fear you'll have to show the bones before you pack that wire away--you're not renowned as first class pay." Then J. Adolphus leaves the store and kicks himself until he's sora. The Pruneville merchants, when they found the gay Adolphus on the ground, inquired of Mudtown- on-the-Pike, what this Adolphus gent was like, and Mudtown said, "If he's your poet, nail down all things and guard 'the rest." Thus, nowadays, our records go from town to town, and all men know if we are classed as "good as wheat," or listed 'neath the head of "Beat." --WALT MASON.
