HiHiirri(r'i7r ssas THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE eSTABLlAfBD '/SSA PUBUHIIED WEEKLY AT THB OFFICE. SYD- ENUAM STREET, FLEHIIBKToN, OST., BY W. H. THURSTOK. â- '^1 per annnniiStrlctly in adrancc Advertising Bates: Oaa Colama, 1 year, t60 ; halt col., 1 joar, $37 quarter ool., ooe year, SIS. Tranalent advertisement charged at the rate 8 oeuls par line for first Insertion and 3 couts each subAequeut ioRortioo. The bcs' advertised man of to-day i 3 Rudyai d Kipliug, the British poet. 11 udyani had the misfortuao to make an nntinii'ly reference to Canada as the " Lady of the Snows," in a re- cent poem. That poem Las actually Lronght into being in Canada the long looked for national literature, nnd now that wo have it the expres- sion is one of surprise that we did not recognize its existence before. Nearly every city, town and Tillage lias produced its poet during the past two weeks, and one and all iling with free hand their anathemas upon the cnl;8;^py Lead of Mr. Kipling, and in rnauy instances tiie parodies are quite as good as the original. Poor Greece I Turkey has whip- ped her. 8he must abandon all that she Las fought for, and perhaps pay a heavy war indemnity. Crete is lost lo her. Her power on land or sea is shattered. While she may retain Lcr name, tier monarch and lior former borders intact, she is a king- dom only in name Lcncoiortli. tilie as a financial wreck and a physical ruin. She undertook to chastise the vulture of Asia siiiglo handed, and leceivod not cvi-n the moral Buppoit bf Christian nations in her struggle. Jhissia ei{gtd on the Turk, GiMmany loTiied Lcr generald and publicly de- nounced the contentions of Greece, while England, Franco and Italy acquiesced in the nefarious sta'.u quo. Kings and cabinets appear to ic- iTOgnize uothing but pLysical forco and commercial intercHts. There ivas uo doubt also a ghoulish desire to witnees the testing of modern iiu- plc'incnis of warfare, and the op- porlnuit} was timely. This is a coldblooded statement, but there ia more truth than poetry in it. What tho outcome of iho war will be is the veriest conjecture, but tho fact re- mains thai Greece is irretrievably loHl, and the powers can do with Ler as tliey will. It is scarcely concriv- nblo that those powers will allow Turkey lo reap any ma'.oiia! benfCit from tlio war, iliid strongthen herself fit the expense 'of Greece or any other coniilry. Their expressed wish liaB been for years that Tuikey may grow weaker insti ad of stronger, and according to that desiro they now Lave the opportunity of calling this feud a draw and of forcing both Greece and Turkey to bear their own financial loss. Is this their aim ? That Entertainment To the ICiliUir of Th4- Adrixnce.

It wm very ajirtieably apparent that there was a toail abainue of any superfluou8,affectalion or show. The naturuliiesx, the vivid lifaliku representation of the ac^ne iu hand, either by voice or approprile gesture, at one* arrested attentiun, and carried one away into the sense of for- getfulneia nf all else, and cauHod one to consider that he was actually beholding the facts occurriuu in reality in some homo of the land. I could not help but think that all this very clearly indicated the painstaking toil, the choice tiisie of the diroctorate, whoever tlioy may have been, and alxo the unremittini.', ch>Be, precise application to study and portrayal, of each of the characters in the drama. Oh, what labor ! And all for what ? Thu best exprctision of Christian sentiinetit, viz : to make others happy, and do good. And the intervals were improved by the orchestra. Tho music, my ! it made one youni;. The rendering in ho artistic a manner of such liijih cloiwi music by our own boya and girls would be dithcult to surpaKs by profcssioiiaU, of much more pretentions, or ill towiiu or cities for that matter. I know what I upeak about. And here comes in tho point I want to mnke. This on'ertninment was prepared by tliB young pooplo for puriioses of Christian charity and qoud. But alas ! such effort, ho spariiiuly recognized, palronizud and appieciutud by the con- eriil public of the surrounding coin- iiiuniiy. Shame, I marvel that the lea'^ue could have the patience nnd L'reat good nature to catry out so faithfully so rich a pro^iram, being greeted with so sparse a crowd. It but deepens nijr conlidence in Christian craces. I ment- ally anked niyKelf the question, what's Iho matter with Ibe people anyway? Well, 1 know .Slime said, times are hard. Yea, but thank goodness we're not in fnmine stricken India. I would save two meals some day t<> " help encouriige " so eiiterpriHing, philanlhropic nn elTort of our boys and girls of the church. Then others tay, '.hoy have particular ob- jections to such things in cennection with the church work. Well, poor, mock modesty, over sanctimoniously cloaked self. Do stop aiid think soberly a momrnc, and I think you'll coinn to a sense of rehHou, and open that great, large, lump of a heart and determine to be more broiidmindcd and hulpfully dis- po.sed at a future lime. Then there are those who had not their attention drawn to the fact that ho good a mor.il and in- tullectuvl treat w»» to be presented.
