For fifty consecutive years, the ca- dets of the Royal Military College have worshipped in St. George's Ca- thedral, and have, on the last Sun- day of the terfi, had a service es pecially arranged for them. On Sun- his third year) -- G. C.|w day, the seating capacity of the church was taxed to the utmost, many ex-cadets and friends and relatives from a distance being present.. The graduating class of the year followed the traditions of the college, in giv-- ing the red and white flowers that were in the vases on the reredos above the altar, and on the chancel step. The music of the male choir, under 'the direction of the organist and choirmaster, Mr. R. R. F. Har- vey, is admired by all visitors to the cathedral and on Sunday, the basses were strengthened by the voice of an old chorrister, General L. W. Shannon, London. 'The anthem,|® "Arm Arm, Soldier of the Lord," was |* sung with good effect. The preacher was Major Rev. W. B. Kidd, M.A, M.C., who spoke of Christ as the young man, "The Gentleman of the Ages," whose life on earth was so supreme- a) ---- .

COLE CAN STAY Mexico City, June 21.--Presi- # dent Calles has revoked the de- # portation order issued recently ® against Willlam H. Cole, Otta- # wa, Ont., physician, and gradu- % ate of Queen's University, who # had been practising his profes- # sion in Torreoh for sixteen ly beautiful that we should never tire of hearing of it. It was a wonderful life mixed up in the affairs of his people, 46th religious and social. "I would like to speak to you this morn- Ing," sald Major Kidd, om the text, "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith." We have come to look upon this occasion as one of the important events in our parish life. And rightly so. It is one of the times when our old cathedral church, steep- ed in the history of the past, may feel the influence of her traditions. She is equalled by few churches in Can- ada, in the sacred memories that have their roots in the important events of national life. And none of these are more important than the annual services in which we cay "God speed" to the graduates of the Royal Military College. Particularly in this the case on the occasion of the gold- en jubilee of the college. The R. M. C. has distinguished itself in the ful- filment of its purpose. Not so much crop of maple syrup and sugar has to produce men who have become dis- this year been only about fifty per tinguished 'soldiers, but that they jcent. of the yearly average. have been a strong factor in the de- velopment of the Empire and imper- ial bonds. That she has done this, We may look at India, Egypt, Austra- lia and the Near East, but 'still more at the thick of the fight in the Great ar. Major Kidd here pointed to the flag above the cadets' gallery with nearly ome thousand maple leaves, one hundred and twenty-five red, up- on it. He felt that the lessons learn- od in St. George's Cathedral were a stimulus to the men who had gone forth from its walls and hoped that a real and vital faith might dwell in the hearts of the class of 1926.

Seeding fn the province of Quebec was delayed this season through unfavorable weather conditions, according to the latest Bureau of Statistics. General farm work §s about three weeks late.
