THE MISSIONARY CONFERENCE,

Tsaoucu the weather was bad, the spirit prevailing among those who took part io the Missionary Conference held here this week was good. Ihe Bishop and Clergy exhibited the British virtnes of thorough-

ness in the.r effort to get at the bottom of

the eulject ef missions. They investigated the Apostolic methods of work, erquired into the conditions under which was won by the early Irish and British missionaries, and extended their remarks aud criticisms to the missions of the Nine- teeath the splendid sermon of Provost Welch pub- lished in Tue Examiver yesterday. The

hurch of England is apparently wide ewake to a sense of responsibility aod duty in regard to the spread of the Gospel. In this convection Rudyard Kipling’s poem entitled “Recessioaal” was quoted by Provost Welch with great effect :

Fuccess

God of our fathers, known of old— Lord of our far-flung battle-line— Beneath Whose awfa! Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget.

The tumult and the shouting dies— The captains and the kings depart—

Still stands Thine ancient Saérifice,

Av humble and a contrite heart.

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Far called our navies melt sway — On dune aud headland sinks the L.»,a]l our pomp ot yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of tbe Nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!

awe— Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the Law— Lord God of Hoste, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard — All valiant dust that builds on dust,

And guarding calls not Thee to guard —

For frantic boast and foolish word Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord! Amen.

>

Certainly the wide-epread Empire of “reat Britain— its dominion over palm and pine— carries with it a greater weight of responsibility in respect to the evangeliza- tion of tbe world than belongs to the

<hurch and people of other nations.

A NEW SUGGESTION.

Sir.—T have read with some interest the many editorials that ave, during the last few weeks,appeared in the column of both Tue "xaminer and Guardian regarding the enforcement of the Scott Act in Char- lottetown, the withdrawal of certain war- rants of commitment, the subsequent execution of some of them, and the non- execution of others. In common with many othera, I have watched for the other side of the question, and have been much disappointed at the silence displayed by those who should explain. I have noticed also that the efforts o* both Tue Examiner

and the Guardian to obtain the desired information have been of no effect, and this has led me _ to think that the press does not wield the power that many e@upposes it can

wield. The demands of the press in the above matter have been treated with botl. silence and contempt, and nothing now remains bat for the outraged public to look elsewhere for redress. That elrewhere must be on the floorof the Legislature. Let an investigation be had under the authority of the Provincial Legislature. It may not be expected that the Govern- ment, which it is said benefitted by the alleged deal, will move in the matter, but in the ranks of the opposition there are

men well able to bring the matter to the |

attention of the House and demand an official i.quiry.. The Government would not dare refuse a motion for euch inquiry. There are temperance members support- ing the Government and these mem bers would certainly vote for the fullest investi- gation. 1 would like, Mr. Editor, to have yeur views on this pt ase of the matter, snd between pow and the time when the House? meets the question might be kept before the people and publicly dis- cussed in the newspapers as well as in the Temperance Divisions and Lodges through: out the Province so that public opinion would be ripe, and the members of the Honee of As-embly ina position to know the views cf their conatituents. The Grand Division at its next quarterls session might also be asked ta give ex- pression to its views. The Guardian of course will be expected to give @ help ing hand. Pro Bono Pvsiico.

There are women who have thrown themselves into curd playing » forcibly, with such intense excitement, that it is no longer a diversion, but a serious task. Whether they play for money or points or for some trumpery prize which they would not admit to their drawing room except as an evidence of their skill at the game, the resuitisthe same. ‘The strain on their nerves is expressed by closely drawn brows and an eye eager and watchful for an op- ponent’s plays and misplays, while greed and the desire for gain show themse!ves in ugly lines about the mouth. ‘iis desevip- tion applies, of course, to the worst vic- tims of the craze, but the same symptoms in a more or less modciticd form are ap- pearing on the faces of nota few of scci- ety’s maids and matrons. — Munsey’s Magazine.

WHY SHE WAS GRACIOUS. Vho Easily Fell Into an Ingen- ious Trap.

She was particularly gracious that night, and he was correspondingly happy. He felt that be had made an impression at last.

She let him hold her hand a minute when she welcomee him, and he thought —in fact, he was quite sure—that she re- sponded to the gentle squeeze he gave it, and heretofore she had been so distant, so cold, alkhough always courteous. Surely it was enough to make him feel happy. Then she laughed at his witticisms, and there was something in her manner that invited him to draw his chair closer to hers. Of course he accepted the invitation, znd almost before he knew it he found himself whispering all sortsof silly things to her, while she Jistened with downcast eyes.

Ié was blissful, and yet there was a greater pleasure in store for him. She blushed and hesitated a little as she asked if he had a photograph of himself.

Of course he had, and she should have one that very night. He would go for one atonce. She protested that that was not necessary, but he ixsisted. She should have anything that sho wanted and have it at once.

She thanked him so coyly and sweetly when he brought it that the boy was near- ly insane with joy, and when he let him hold her hand again for a minute,

Then, as he walked away with a light step and a light heart, she handed the photograph to her maid and said with de- €ision:

“Mary, hung that in the servants’ hall, where cyery one cun see it, and remember that I am never home when he calls. I must stop this thing somehow, and mam- ima changes servants so often he gets in every week or two now.’’—Harlem Life.

Fruit foods.

Each year folks grow toappreciate more fully the value of fruit and eat it notasa luxury, but as a staple article of food. Fruits are nourishing, refreshing, appetiz- ing and purifying, and consequently have eficct upon the health and the complexion. Yct there are differences. Grapes and ap- ples are highly nutritious. Grapes usually agree with the most delicate persons, for they are 80 easily digested, Nothing is easicr to Cizest than a baked apple taken eltier With or without cream. Oranges, lemons and limes are of great value as a mneans of improving the complexion, and they are especially good if taken before breakfast. Ripe peaches are easy of diges- tion, and are fattening. Nothing is better to enrich the blood than strawberries, which contain a larger percentage of iron than any other fruit. Fruit with firm flesh, like apples, cherries or plums, should be thoroughly masticated ; otherwise they are difficult to digest. The skin of raw fruit should never be eaten, and before eat- ing grapes or any small fruit care should be taken to remove all impurities by wash- ing. Never swallow grape stones. Stale fruit and unripe fruit should never be eat- en, and very acid fruit should not be taken with farinaceous foods’ unless the person has # vigorous digestion.—New York Sun.

Heard the Baby.

‘Last summer,’’ says a telephone man- ager of Chicago, ‘a big, portly, smiling but excited anan tushed in and usked if he could reach Evansville, Ind., by phone. He was assured that he could, and in about two minutes he disappeared in a booth to talk to his wife. Well, he talked sbout 15 minutes. Finally he bounced out of the box, slapping his thigh. ‘They're on me, gentlemen,’ hesaid. ‘I'll be right back.’ He darted out, and in two minutes was back. with a box of as geod cigars as leversmoked. ‘It’s a boy,’ he exclaimed, ‘and he’s got about as good lungs as I ever heard at close range!’ Then he told the story. He had to be ab- sent from home, and a telegram had just come notifying him of the new arrival. He had rushed into the office, called up his residence and insisted that the nurse bring the baby to the telephone and make it laugh or ory. It cried, and he heard it 800 miles away.’’—Exchange.
