EXAMINER ‘ LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.

— A FEW TEXTS,

Six,-I was much pleased at the re- marks in your editovial on the sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Campbell on Sabbath, 5th inat. [think it would be well for the rev. gentleman and other clergymen of the city and country to preach sermons from the following texts of scripture and explain them, asa great many persons opposed to prohibition and in favor of moderate drinking quote them

As anustaining their views Ou those ques- tions, viz Deuteronomy, l4th chapter, 25th and

26th versea—* Then shalt thou turn it in~ io money aad biad up the money in thine hand and shalt go into the place which the Lord thy God shalt choose, and thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, fur oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatso ever thy soul desireth, and thou shalt eat there lefore the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine house hold

Proverbs, 3lst chapter, 6th and 7th verses——‘*'Give strong drink unto him that s ready to perish and wine unto those chat be of heavy hearts. Let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his sery bo more.

limothy, chapter 5th, 23rd verse —

“Drink uo longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine Often infirmities.”

Ist Timothy, 3rd chapter, Sth verse

“Likewise must the deacons be grave not

joubled tongued, not given to much wine,”

Colossians, chapter 2nd, verse 16:h— “Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink.’

Ephesians, 5th chapter, [8th verse

“And be not drunk with wine wherein is excess.”

iJon, 2nd chapter, 10th verse—“And saith unto him every man at the begin- ning doth set for h ;@od wine, aod when men have we}! drunk then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the geod wine

Luke, 5th chapter, and 39.h *“No man also having drank old straightway desireth new, for he saith the

verse— wine old is better.’

Luke, 7th chapter, 33rd and 34th verse — For John the Baptist came neither eat ing breal nor drinking wine,sod ye say lie hathadevil. The Sonof Man is come eating and drinking and ye say behold a

THE BRITISH PEOPLE,

The New York Tribune in the course of a recent article comparing the growth of population in France and Great Brit- ain, poluted out that while France had only increased in population 4@ per cent since the beginning of the 19th ceutury, Great Britain had increased 130 per ceat., and that while in that time only 500,000 Frenchmen had gone abroad to colonize other lands, no less than 11,500,000 had gone from the United Kingdom. It then proceeded to moralize as follows :

“If these conditions are to prevail in future, and these movements of popuia- tion to continue, France may-weli be seriously concerned; and those who are speculating on the decay and fall of the

ritish empire may well revise their eati- mates. A country whose native popula- tion is at a standstill, or actually declin ing, can scarcely hope greatly to extend its power. One that shows so great vital- ity and increase of native stock as does the United Kingdom has not yet reached the last chapter of its history.”

If the Tribune had enlarged the acope of its vision somewhat and taken in the whole British Empire, it wou’d have been still more impressed with the truth of ita closing observation. At the beginning of this century Great Britain had a population of 16,000,000, with out- side possessions having a popula- tion estimated at less than 32,000,000. It was then, with less than fifty million of people under its flag, regarded as a formidable power, and was, in fact, the one nation that resisted and crushed Na- poleon, and thereby saved “the liberties of the world.” But compared with the present time, that was but a day of small things, [In Whitaker’s almanac for 1896 (appen- dix) there is am article on * The British Empire as a Geographical and Commer cial Unit,” in which the extent and pepu lation of the British Empire (including protected and feudatory states) at the pre~ Sent time is stated to be as fellows:

Sq. Miles. Population. IG ii cice sn cteccs 121,120 39,477,000 ie. 2,035,660 307,758,000 Africt.........00000-2,194,86l 43,242,000 America..... e+ +0200 804,470 7,088,800 Australasia,Pacitic Ielands etc.......3,133,195 5,949,000 MOMs cg cs, 11,399,316 402,514,800

This table, if correct—of which we have no reason to doubt—shows that morethan one-fifth (21 p.c.) of the earth’s surface and more than one-fourth (27 p. €.) of the human race are now under the British flag. Compared with the British empire all other nations appear small. Russia alone approaches her in size, and Chioa

| #lone in population, bat both are far be-

hind her, She is facile princeps among the nations’of the earth, and is growing in both material and moral greatness more rapidly than any other. It is no wonder that her enemies and former rivals hate her and envy her.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—The less the Patriot says about defic its the better for its party. When Sir Richard Cartwright was Finance Minister there never was a surplus; while under Sir Leonard Tilley and his the amount of the surpluses has exceeded the amount of the defisits by about $12,000, 000.

Speaking of the result of the Victoria, B.C, election, the Colonist says “ it was found by the canvassers that, on the dis tinctive policy of the Conservative party, Victoria is assuredly as Conservative as ever it was, and that, ifthe Manitoba school question had not been dragged into the contest, the Liberals would not have had the ghost of a chance of getting their man returned.” It is remarked by the Mon~ treal Gazette that the good fight of Mr, Weismiller in West Huron indicates that, in Ontario, the party strength is hanging well together also. Those Liberals who are issuing invitations to the wake on the Conservative Government, may find their own political organization providing the chief subject for the festivities, and the Tories doing the waking.

Great Enthusiasm Over Sir Charles Tupper’s Return,

Unmistakable Evidences of Popularity All Along the Line.

Truro, Jan. 22.

Kew men could desire greater evidence: of the popularity in which they are held by the people than those afforded to Sir Charles Tupper during his flying trip from Ottawa to Truro en route to Cape Breton. Not only is the grand old war horse held in the highest esteem, but the unanimity in the expression of approba~ tion at his return to public life and appre- ciation at the marvellous pluck he ex- hibits shows that he is enshrined in the hearts of the people as no other man of to-day is enshrined. At St. Joho many old friends greeted him during the few minutes the train stopped there, and at Moncton, Springhi]] and Truro many thousands of people crowded the station platform to welcome and cheer him, to present addresses, listen to his voice and

shake his hand. All this indicates the} Pale Gold and Black, spontaneous enthusiasm of the people. 2 The vigor and vim that the grand old Black and Rose, $2.25,

What the Government Has De- cided to Do.

Use of Lee-Metfords to be Confined to Permanent Force.

Ortawa, Jan. 22.

The Government has decided upon a line of action in the re-armament of the militia forces. It was generally thought in militia circles that the Lee-Metford rifles would be procured for the forcee gen erally; but it is now proposed to confive the use of this weapon to the permanent force. The authorities comsider that as the mechanism of the Lee~Metford is very delicate! there would be great danger of the weapon getting out of order in the hands of unskilled meo. With the per- manent force, however, this would be dif ferent. A contract will be entered into for the supplying to Canada of 40,000 stand of Martini-Enfield rifles. The new
