The Methodist ministers ot' the f‘liar-
.lottetown District inet together \\`et|- nesday afternoon at 2.30 in the llcartz Memorial Hall for the first session of their convention. Those present were: Rev. J. L. Dawson, B. A., Chairman; ofthe District; Revs. E. Bell, H. Brown E. Weeks, L. Jewett, ll. Miller, E. Westmoreland, J. Leard. F. Sawdon. F. Littlejohns. Letters of apology for absence were read anti accepted from the Revs. E. Styles and G. Or- nian.
The first address \vas given by the
Rev. E. Bell on “The Sermon that t-ounts." in an interesting and profit- able way Mr. Bell einpliasised the ne- cessity of procuring light and guidance as to the message. Also the necessity for unbounded faith in Gotl, ami ti deep conviction of the truth of our iiiessage, coupled with an earnest cxpcclaiicy i'or results. He fittingly gavo cxnin- ples of great preachers anti ways in which their sermons have toltl.
The Rev. F. W. Sawdou, of Mount
~ being scourgetl for their past abuses
of others.
“We further ask, if (‘lii'ist as ti man
were here would he fight? We may be led to answer 'No,' because we too often fail to appreciate anti recognize the greatness and completeness of the Master's character. l-le said He came 'not to bring peace but the sword.` 'l‘lius viewing things from this stand- point we may be led to ask, is it right for a Christian not to tight? To-tlay wc are suffering because we have as a nation followetl too long the cause of non-resistance. Had Britain some years ago refused to tolerate the ‘sick man ol' i-]urope,' anti had driven thc i'l`urk out ol' Europe the present war might liavc been avoided. We have been dwelling iii thc peaceful vale. anti liavc tleterioratt-ti; our civiliza- tion is as fast slipping from our grasp. and it sccnis as though Gotl has had to bring about a cataclysiii to break down thc mitioiis in order that llc might builti thcin up again in the right way. The pres-ciit war, like the f`.ivll
Stewart. followed with a good paper on “The Best Method of Pastoral \\lork." After`tletiling with thc great value of the personal touch in thc niiiiistcr's work, lic iiitiinatcti tluii cat-li pastor must prove by experience the value tit' the many methods einployctl, anti should choose out that method which he finds brings about the best results.
Heart-to-heart discussions followed

Failing Kensington. the convention will be hold in Char- loitetowii.
Last evening a public niet-ting was
Il_cld in the Heartz Memorial iiall. 'Iwo excellent addresses were given by Rev. E. A. Westmoreland and Mr. D. Seaman. The former spoke upon The War and the Spirit ol' f`lirist." Westmoreland said in effect: Pills subicct leads us to ask, ‘ls it right for a Christian of fight? What- Gvcr our answer bc, we cannot bc- lieve it to be right for the (lliristiaii under any conditions to strike the first b|0\\'. Many assert (‘.iirist taught un- conditional iioii-resistant-.t=. But (‘hrist's teaching on the subject rcfers purely io personal wrong. When. however, a brute wrongs a neighbor, the priiiciplc of non-resistance is no longer applica- ble. Hence we as fflirisiians in tht- Dresent crisis must fight.
“To my mliitl the words being clear-
l.V written across the fields of Europe i°'i1l=\y. are: ‘God`s jiistice.' Much as we may be sorry for the Belgians to- lll\i'. we know they are suffering be- cause of their late ruler's terrible deeds in the Congo. Each of the other nations engaged in the war is suitably

(Special to the Guardian.)
LONDON, Jan. 28.-A Central News
despatch from Copenhagen gives a report that an attempt was made several da_vs ago to assassinate King Constantine of Greece. This report was coininunicated to Copenhagen in
|a despatch from (lonstantinople,
which says that the authority for the report is statenients of travellers arriving at f‘onstaiitinople. The attempt on the l(ing's life was matic at Patras, Greece.
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON. Jan. 28.-The Greek min-
ister here declares the Constantinople report of the attempt to assassinate King Constantine is absolutely un- itrue.
Vienna they have recaptured some passes which the Russians were hold- ing in strength. While naturally the Russians, like other belligerents, tio not relish giving up ground gained, they declare this is compensated i`or by the fact that their aggressiveness has compclletl the Austro-Germans to postpone an expedition which they were preparing with the object of crusliing Serbia. Russia hopes that Roiimaiiia with her financial position gntirantcctl by thc recent London loan of $25,000,000 will soon send her army into thc field and form the missing link bctwccii Russia anti Serbia.
'i‘hc Turks, by breaking up their
flf'tli arniy corps, have been able to re- sunic the offensive in the Caucasus. But the Russian report says they have suf't`crctl tinoilier set-back. Nothing furthcr has bccn hoard of the Turkish army which is invading Egypt.
'i‘lic British Admiralty to-night is-
suctl ti formal denial of the German
_reports that some British ships liatl bccn sunk in the naval battle in the .\’ortli Sea last Sunday. The Admiral- fy adheres to its statement that the British vessels cngagctl returned safe- ly to port. "
Tlic same dcpartiiicnt also denies it
story from thc United States that the German battle cruiser Von Der Tann was sunk by the British battle cruiser invincible in the South Atlantic and says that no engagement bas occurred between these two vessels.

“At present we do not iiiiiliciitical-

“I ani reluctant to believe in a

At least this does not seein to be proved. li’ war was being planned. it was, i suspect, a longer and a slower match that was burning for a later explo- sloii, and as regards our part to it, she would conjecture that that was. strangely enough, unexpcted in Prus- sia, to judge f'rciii the venomous anti insane fury which has raged against us in Germany since we entered on the campaign.
“We must then suspend our judge-
ment as to the real cause of the war till in time the tlocuincnis art- given."
After discussing the present phases
of the struggle, Lord Rosebcry con- tinues: "\Vc only sec something of the first act of this drama, but it will not be coinplctc till we know the flftli. if the Prussians are victorious we need not troublc our heads.

THE SCIIRS ON THE A
IIICTORIOUS SHIPS
among the officers and men reported to the Admiralty is:--On the Lion, seventeen men wounded; on the Tiger, one officer and nine men killed and three officers and eight men wounded: on the Meteor four men killed and one man wounded.
“ It is not believed that any other
casualties occurred, but it so, they will be immediately published.
" As soon as Vice-Admiral Beatty’s
report is received. a fuller account will be given."
The statement adds that the dam-
aged British vessels can be speedily Irepaired. The Lion was struck by a ‘German shell below the waterline, and smo of tier forward compartments were flooded. The details of the dam- ages sustained by the Meteor were not announced.
The Lion, with her sister ship, the
_Priiicess Royal. was the largest ship in the British suadron, and in leading the line cninc in closer contact with the Germans anti did most of tho fight- ing, slie being largely responsible for the sinking of the German armoured cruiser Blouclior. The Meteor is one of thc largest and fastest torpedo boat destroyers afloat. Sho is one of thir- teen of her class built under thc naval cstiniatcs of 1913. An additional tlnzen of similar boats were authorised lin the estimates of 1014.

"Talk, however, is easy and pleas-
ant. War is an accursed thing which punishes the liinocent and gen- vrfllli’ thc guilty go free, but our tflironiclcrs cannot fail, to enlarge upon the incaicuiablc blessing which the daninable invasion of Bel- gium has revealed to the world--the enthusiastic and weatherproof unity of the British empire; or, rather thc loyalty of three connected cm- plrcs to the mother country. That: wtuld be worth any ordinary war. and -' is not, perhaps. too dearly bought even by such an appalling conflagration as this.
"And this unity. as it is not the
beginning, so it is not the end. Blood shed in common is the cement of nations, and we and our sons may look to see a beneficence ot’ empire not such as the Prussians dreamed of, not a warlordship over other na- tions, not a nightmare of oppression, but worldwide British influenco which will be a guarantee of liberty artl.peuce. and which, hand in hand. .our Allies in Europe and with our kindred in the iinlted States. should go far to make another war such .is this ivnpossibie.
