Lord Kitchener Says it Will I Last ThreeYears. General loiire Thinks That Human Spirit Would Noi Last That Long.
(Special to tho Guardian.)
LONDON, March 29.-The length of
the 'war continues naturally to be a subject of much discussion. Lord Kitchener continues his prediction that it will last three years, but this is discounted by his evident desire to influence recruiting. No one seriously believes that it will end before next fall, but that it will drag through an- other two years is considered unlikely.
The subject was under discussion at
a recent meeting between Lord Kitche- ner and General Joilre, at which Jules llambou, the French Ambassador in London was present, Kitchener is re- ported to have repeated his doleful prediction to General Joffre, who then look exception. He said:
“Food, amunition and guns may last
that long, but what will not last is the human spirit (French: Morale.)"
In other words. modern war is too
exhausting for the mind, as well as the body, to last long periods.
The English newspapers, while enl-
phasizing tha necessity of “seeing the business through," are far from pessi- mistic about tbs length of the war. What encourages them most is the increasing violence of the German me- thods, which to them indicates that the leaders ln Germany realize that to win at all they must win quickly.
"As for the land campaign," writes
the Church Times. "it is an open .so- cret that those in high command at tho front are extremely sanguine. They withhold, of course, their ground for confidence, but of their confidence itself they make no concealment. They believe that the elld of the war is by no means remote. Significant also are
the recent utterances from Berlin, the 0
violent language of which is not that employed by leaders progressing tow- ard victory." `

Mr Russell from his experi- ence was consulted by General Hughes . when the war broke out and was asked to take charge of the purchasing of the trucks required.

This addition to the fleet is believed in London to consist of 4 dreadnougbts laid down in Russian yards in 1909 which were nearing completion at the beginning of the war. It may also include an- other divislon ol' four capital ships laid down in 1912. The first four mount twelve-inch guns, each in the second division is armed with nine- 14-inch guns each.

SIN, THE GREAT DETECTIVE.
There was a. large congregation at
the Baptist Church last night to bear Rev. L. E. Acklalld preach. n most searching sermoll on "Siu, Tho Great; Detective.” it was the first night of thc second week of the campaign and it gave much proulise for the week. This nftemoon there will be a_meet- illg for the boys and girls at four o’clock ill the School Room of the Cburcll. Adults will be welcome. The ,meeting to-night is in the main audi- ence room of thc (lhurcli.
Tho preacher said ill part: Many
people don't believe this text. Even many who would bo shocked at the suggestion that they do not believe the Bible shown by their conduct that they do not believe this truth. Every muh who plots to wrong his feiiowman thinks he can ignore it safely. Every youth who saws his wild oats refuses to believe his sin will find him out. Every mind that cherlshes impure thoughts refuses to believe lt. Every one who rejects Jesus Christ or puts off immediate decision says this state- ment is not truc. Yet God’s word from cover to cover is full oi' state- ments, instances, warnings and illus- trations that prove it true. Science mightily reinforces God’s word on this point. . Liteature is full of it, and ex- perience all around us reiterates. Sin hunts us out and finds us. Sin makes us pay full price. It flnds us out in our bodies. Not only the grosser sins but even anger, jealousy, and other evil passions weaken our bodies. When the test. oi' endurance comes, the weak- ness ot sin stands revealed. Again sin ilnds us out in our character. Charac- ter is what we are. -Even the impure thought that flits through the cham- bers of imagination and lingers for an instant. smirchea the soul. Character is impaired. Sin flnds us out in those who come after lls. The taint of ollr sills is commulllcated to the child whom God gives as a pure white soul to be trained for 1-lim. Young people are building new the home that is to be; they are shaping now the destiny of the lives that shall be lived. Again sin finds us out in our conscience. Conscience grows dull and seared with sin. But. some day conscience will bn awakened. shocked into new life and sensitiveliesl. never more to slumber whllo eternity lasts. Who can picture the agony of a sleepless conscience!
Lastly sin finds unrepontant sinners

Last night in Heartz Memorial Hail
there was held the first of s. series of united services for the congregations of the First Methodist and Grace Methodist Churches, which is to cover tho evenings of the present week. The attendance was good. Rev. J. L. Daw- son presided alld the address was given by Rev. F. H. Littlejohns, on the subject of the fig tree which Jesus cursed.
The speaker claimed that this tree
with its fine display of leaves without fruit represented to the mind of the Master the Jewish people of the time, which made a great show of all the externals of its religion, abolmdlng in tillles and offerings and in ritual and ceremonial, while its worship lacked heart and its life the essential char- acteristics of righteousness; and that I-lo cursed the treo so that ltwltherod away for the purpose of showing His disciples by means of a striking object lesson the manner in which their nation as a whole would perish on account of its failure to measure up to tllo divine demands. Looking upon His Church and its individual mom- bers to-day the things which the Master requires are not so much the leaves of tho Christian profession, or the leaves of ritual and ceremonial observance. Leaves are good, but it they advertise the fniits of righteous- ness when these fruits are not present in tho life. they expose to the divine displeasure and provoke it, ,lt_is at once the duty and the prlvileks of the Church and each of its members to be filled with the Holy Spirit. and, bear- ing continually the fruits of the Spirit. to enjoy that biesing of the Lord wllich brings with it a contlnualion-
largement of opportunity and 3 steady increase in usefulness, inltes of his word of condemnation in the ilrllelce
of which opportunity must the offending church orga tion itself disappear.
