He is a turner of words ai:d phrases that tickle the ear, and this art is dear to the heart of an English stalesinan. Weaiefjlad Mr. Laurier is representing ns. Uis strikiii;; per- son, his suave manners, and the fact Canada, a Protestant country, can so far forget creed and race as to elevate a Frenchman and a Roman Catholic to the highest gift of the poppie, is something quite astonishing to Father John, and he joins in paying high tri- bute to the geiiiub whom Canada has sent across the great sea to take our greetings to the greatest Queen of ilie greatest realm the world has ever seen. GOD PAVK Tnr. QUF.KN Befoie another issue of The Ad- vance appears the 60th anniversary of our beloved Queen's coronation will have passed into history. This is an event of such importance in tho world's history that no ordmaiy or caauil mention of tho event will Bufiice, It has been sixty years of a new tfoch, and \\ill he known to the end of time ati the Victorian era - i: will be known as the reign wlicuin the world awal.ened flora a letlmigy of centuries to a knowledge of niiin's power in letters, ait and luechanicH. It will bo most remeaibereil for its vomaikublo strides in the latter lino; for man's triumph in the liuine.s.-iiig {â- f steam, of electiic lighting, of won- deiful advances in ship building whereby we niiiy sldin the waters of t'.ie deep with wonderful swiftness, and it may yet be remembered as the era III which wo inaslered navigation of llie air. It will be rtuiembcixd for its wonderful growth and enlistment under its ting of one qnait«roflho cntiru human race, and lor it n;e;eli- nnt ll-ig which llies o'er half the vfs- feels that plow the seas. The invrii- lioiis of this Vicloiiiin J\;^e have been so plentiful and so marvellous that man is nv.v beginning to rt>iil;/,o hi.-! power, and believe that iiotiiiiig is impossible to him, and tho words wizardry and UiiraeleBdo not have the gciicrul int'aniDg that they oiice hud.

Some warm discussions have been indulged in by the Methodist con- fcrence now in session at Toronto, and poKsibly none were hotter than that upon the (jucsiion of cjiuniuiiion cups. In souio cliurchea now-a-days each cjinmniiicant pGssesses his own conimuiiicn cup truni which lo sip the wine. Many members of confurenco believed this to be wrong, that what was good enough for the di.stiples of old should be good ciiongh for us. An- other faction, led by several lay M.D. members, hold that from a saritary point of view the fiiigle cup is an abhotrent thing, and one M. D. went so far as to call it "diabolical." The whole|coiilroversy will appear to many as somewhat of tho tempest in a tea- pot order, but it is not so. T he ques- tion is an iiiiportaul om. If Olio in- dividual is li-ible to contract disease by supping microbes depositfd by an- other the thing should bo stopped. If a lady is obliged to sip the wino after a tobacco clieweror smoker iias taint- ed its purity sho should be protected. If a man in tho early f.tages of con- sumption can unwittingly plant the germs of disease in anotlier by con- tact with the lips the (lucstinn assumes a iiositioii of very grave importance. It is also abhorrent to a huly of fine taste, and to many people, to touch the cuji after a niuiislache has ilipped into the ruby liquid. It does not appear charitable to rcfiiFO lo drink fioin a vessel whii-h another lins used, but our present knowledge of sanitary laws inipicsses it upon us that there IS daiiyer in it and this danger will be heeded whether thccliuroh sanctions the use of individual cups or not. n.
