Bro. M. B, Tudhepe of Orillia, who gave a novel treatment of this toast, dealing with it in a series of word pictures, Nature instructs mankind by great pictures, he said, Her gallery is domed by the starry firmament and is limited only by the confines of space. So. in human experience and history we have a wealth of pictures, and from them all one lesson ont. stands; that everlasting great- ness can come only from the 't. The sun may sink in behind the mighty moun- fain range, but the impulse for good born of the soul is more beautiful thar the one and more permanent than the other. Only that can be everlasting which es tablishes Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, The British Empire has developed many great pic. tures on the canvas of history, but the most gorgeous are not the most great. Sombre are some; humble enough are many; apgal- ling are a few and they glow with a lasting light or fade unto the shadows as they answer to God's Eternal Gauge. After a long reign the Queen is gone! In the old eastern city of Delhi the Princes of India are Pullan's bush, they contested many a battle for supremacy with the "Up-towns" against the "Half-ways."

Majestic figyres, resplendent with priceless' decorations, fill the foreground and the retinue of rauk stretches afar. See! even yon noble steed, caparisoned with a prince's ransom, con- scious of his haughty burden, arches his neck and champs hix Jewelled bit in sheer pride. Yet while we "gaze, amazed, the sun goes down behind the great Pageant of pomp and its setting rays pass over and quench the glory of the canvas and all is given to the shades behind the world. Slowly the lightrenews the can- vas again, quickens, and we see a solemn procession passing through the streets of the great city--a king iy dead! In that funeral cortege, uncovered, walk the proudest rulers of the world. Proud they were! But if the light on this canvas could pierce the veil of brief years, what would we see! Portugal gone; Greece driven by broken faith from his throne; Bulgaria fallen and his country wrecked; the proud heir of Austria stricken by the assass. in's hand, his Emperor dead, his sureessor an exile; And that agrogant one!--Lord of a rich and powerful land--an outcast now, his soul storm beaten by the execrations of an outraged world---denied for his guilt even pily. Again the canvas fades, bul a soft glow is left, and the etern- al light shows one who strove for that which was good, even Ed- vird the Peace Maker, Now an extended panorama! Greal terrilory stretching to the four corners of the earth--of natural resourees, wealth without end. industry, trade and com- merce of unparalleled magni- tude---and though the wond grows here is no light eternal, for Birmingham may follow Babylon, and the New Zealander may even t sit on the ruins of London Bridge, and ponder over that whieh is gone, 'Two pictures now of war! Man strikes al man. Here Neptune, Trident and the far thrown sea! The low grey hulls of steel, po- tential death, destructive power irresistible. yt till the winds of God are slipped their Jeash, and the waves close over that which was an' 's nol. In khaki here, the battle line far flung, world wide, beyond the poet's martial dream! Gleams on the while ensign and on the red the eternal light of Courage and De- votion, burning amid the terror of destruction, These and such mighty scenes oppress the soul; the mind resents Need and Futility and turns expectant to a modest area which meets our ken. On canvas seenes appear workers, all, of body, mind and soul. Stands forth one, swarthy, an alien, bul Free. His aged arms in praise are lifted to God, but on wrists--healed now--still may be seen the mark of chains! Yonder the hungry are fed, the march of pestilence is stayed, cleared are the windows of the soul, Justice is done to great and small, and the furrows of sin and sorrow are smoothed away. Here the light fails not. But who are these workers-- from choking desert sand to ice bound pole? from peak to plain, from crowd to solitude? There moves one we know--there our friend, ouy neighbor, our brother, and shall not we too among them stand, Pray God some one thing at least each one of us may do, that shall abide untarnished and undimmed in the light that never fades. Is the British Empire Great? Will it last? Give answer here and now as ye would before tha Great' Searcher of Hearts! As we let, the light of God kindle in us these lamps of Brotherly Love, now in British Breed has picked its way to the serene heights of sacred greatness, so will be justified our boast, prouder, because worthier, than that of the Roman of old, "I am a British citizen."

A week aye it was taken for granted that daylight saving would not be put inte et in Canada this year, the House of Commons by a vote of 105 to 51 having declared itself as opposed to the re-enactment of the meas. ure, Owing to the change in United States lime the Canadian rail- Ways had to either issue new time tables or to change their clocks to comply with those on which Unele Sam's trains are Tunning. An order was issued by the Canadian Railway War Board instructing the railway companies to move on their clocks an hour Sunday night. With the railways running on the new time, adjustments for mails, express and telegraphs had to be made with consequent dis- arrangement to business provid+ ed the general public continued on standard time. Barrie wax more affected by the change in railway time than were most municipalities owing lo the fact that a very large per- centage of the citizens are con- nected with the Grand 'Prunk, With this railway under new time, it'was obviously necessary that the clocks in the homes of all the employees should cor respond with the working time. Had the fown continued under standard time it would bave led to much confusion and great ine convenience to a majarity of the Citizens Under the circumstances, the members' 6f the Town Council It it would he necessary tw have the Barrie clocks agree with the railroad time. Aceordingly May Sprott issued a proclama- tion, Monday afternoon, asking the citizens to advance their clocks one hour at ¢ n o'clock that night. Se Barrie ix now.on new time. The Tanning Co. has not yet adopted the new time bul may do so when the days grow longer. In the country, the standard time generally will be adhered to, this being much more convenient for the people of rural districts. Tt is particularly hard on the little folk having considerable distances to go to school when they have to be at their desks an hour earlier. First "Y" Man to Get It Under the heading of "Y.M.C.A. and Military Cross," the Mareh While Ribbon Bulletin had the following paragraph:-- --~ "A remarkable thing has hap- pened.

'The other two who won the Military Cross were in the same division of work in France. Capts. J. MeKay and Frank Arpi- ilage, Women Christian CMe perance sisters will rejoice that the devotion and heroism in the awful sfress of war of those ¥ M.C.A. men, who went, into the hottest frays unarmgd for self- protection, but with their arms full of comforts and their hearts burning with desire to minister to the heroic fellows who fell and died, who in some instances were saved by their timely succor, have been recognized by the mili-; tary authorities." Capt. Clarke was formerly Secretary of the Allandale Y.M. C.A. Two Boys for Adoption The Simcoe County Children's Aid Society have two beautiful! baby boys for adoption, and would be glad to get good homes for them.
