-Sir George E. Foster is not a profession-

al reacher; he is however a professional .ang practical speaker and has the happy faculty of saying things in such a way that they can not be easily forgotten. He preached a sermon the other day to the members of the Methodist Conference in Montreal, a short extract from which was published in The Guardian. This sermon or a similar one should be preached ill every church in Canada. _ _

“How many of us are eating one whit

less? How many of us are wearing one whit less? How many of us are using one whit less of gasolene? How many of us are wearing clothes that we ought to be ashamed of in war time?" Clothes that we ought to be ashamed of! Looking out upon our streets on a fine afternoon; looking at the congregations in our chur- ches on any Sabbath, looking at the auto- mobiles on our streets, at our_ sumptuously lad-en tables, who would imagine that there was a war on, in which our own flesh and blood are facing death? Who would be- lieve that millions were starving to death, that millions had not enough to clothe them? Wearing clothes that we ought to be ashamed of! Sitting down to tables that we ought to be ashamed of! Enjoying our- selves in a manner that we ought to be ashamel of!

There was a time, now long ago and

almost forgotten-it was before the Wai' --when the poorly clad were ashamed of their clothes, when the frugal meal was something to be hidden from the neigh- bors. Now, neighbours to millions who are starving to death, to millions whose rags will not cover their nakedness, we are be- ginning to realize that there is some in- congruity in our extravagant clothing, in our sumptuous feasting, in our continuous enjoyment; beginning to realize the in- justice and the sin of faring sumptuously and being extravagantly clad. in the neigh- borhood of a veritable hell of poverty-for Europe is a next door neighbour-Europe where millions with whom _we could share our abundance are starving.

Sir George Foster says we ought to be

ashamed of these things. Are we? Not yet. Those who can afford it are still set- ting the fashionable pace and those who cannot are following in their wake, spend- ing their substance in the riot of fashion- able living. Meantime our neighbours over in Europe are starving. Who are respon- sible forthe extravagance? Clearly those who can afford to be extravagant; they are the leaders. What would it mean to the starving millions, what would it mean to our own poor if these leaders should lead in the other direction, should set a pace in dress, in eating, in entertaining, that would be compatible with the times in which we live? Who among those who can afford it will set the pace in wearing clothes and in our general manner of liv- ing, out of which we can look our starving neighbours in the face without being as- hamed?

France learned in the sorrows of 187(

the wisdom that French military leader- ship has exhibited in the struggles of the past four years.

Prussian genius and Frenchfolly com-

bined to attract the armies of France by the fatal lure of territorial objectives.

One French army of 150,000 gave up its

whole military existence at Sedan because French generals permitted themselves to

be hopelessly tied 'ulp to battle on ground of Germaiiy’s own c oosing.

The army of Bazaine surrendered 180,-

000 men and all its equipment because French leaders committed themselves to a hopeless defence of Metz instead of saving a géreat army- by a timely withdrawal. ‘ ermany tried to lure J offre into throw- ing French armies into a decisive battlein Belgium in 1914. Germany expected that the army of Gen. French would allow its forces to be shut up in the fortress of Mau- berge in the early stages of the retreat

The trade returns for the fiscal year

just ended as issued by the Census and Sta- tistics Oiiice, show that the volume of the external trade of Canada is now greater than at any previous period in the history of the Dominion. For the fiscal year end- ed March 31, 1918, the grand total of the imports for consumption and exports of Canadian merchandise-taking no ac- 'count of the movement of coin and bullion -\'_'as over two billions and a half of

Imports for consumption for the fiscal

year, 1918 were greater by 56 per cent. than for the year just prior to the war, viz: the fiscal year 1914. Under the stimu- lus of war orders- the export trade shows a still greater development, exports of Ca- nadian goods for the fiscal year 1918 ex- ceeding in value similar exports in 1914 by 256 per cent.

The total trade of Canada-imports for

consumption and exports of Canadian pro- duce amounted to $2,502,549,635, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1918, while the value for similar trade for the fiscal year just prior to the war amounted to $1,050,- 045,583, showing an increase from 1914 to 1918 of $1,452,504,052. This increase is more than the whole trade for the fiscal year 1916. The imports of merchandise for the fiscal year 1918 were valued at $962,521,847 and in 1914 at $618,457,144, showing an increase of $255»064,703, whilst the export of Canadian merchandise in 1918 amounted to $1,540,627,788 and in 1914 to $431,588,439, showing a better- ment from 1914-1918, of $1,108,439,349.

From 1914 to 1918 the exports of the

mine increased $349,119 to $172,743,081; agricultural products from $20,623,560 to $32,602,251; the forest from $42,792,137 to $51,899~704; animals and their produce from $53,349,119 to $178,743,081; agricul- tural products from $198,220,029; to $567,- 713,584; manufactured goods from $57,- 443,542 to $636,602,516. ~ '

John' Hodge, British Minister of Pen-

sions, is convinced that the war will have been fought in vain if the Kaiser and his war lords do not find their heads in a noose. The reason for his Wish is the con- viction that the execrated gentlemen in question are responsible for the devasta- tion in Europe. The view will be, support- ed by many. The highly-trained and ex- alted monsters of the chancelleries, who are always on the watch for opportunities to conquer territories and peoples, are the evil geniuses of the world. For their glory tens of thousands, and -even millions, of men are slaughtered. Their schemings bring war after war. If, instead of power and honor, they were treated to the violent death they have brought to so many others- the lesson might go far towards discoura- ging their kind in the future. No fate would be too cruel for the authors of the conflict that is raging today.-Montreal Gazette.

NOTES

Anyone who has ever led a drunken

man home will understand the latent he- roism in President Wilson’s declaration that he intends to stand by Russia. _

_ Lady Muriel Paget asserts that there

were 8,000,000 casualties, including 2,- 000,000 deaths among the Russian forces. Assuredly the toll was. terrible, It was _doubly unfortunate in that the collapse came and made the sacrifices go for naught. By not holding out to the end Russia lost her chance of reaping the fruits of her tremendous endeavors in the first years of the War.

Premier Clemenceau’s newspaper says

that the Allies knew they had to hold the Channel ports at all costs, and preferred taking risks in the South. The German d_rive to the Marne is certainly far less se- rious than a German drive to Boulogne or Calais, or Abbeville, or even Amicus. is room'

The only difference between "Read-

or" and The Guardian ls wlietli- er selfishness under any circum- stances is justifiable. "Reader" admits that “utterly imselflsh men may not ho able to make money." H0 should have said that utterly unselflsh mon can not make money for, if they were utterly unselflsh, they Wollld oltlicr not accept a wage or would zlve it away after they had earned lt. lf all were utterly unselfish" and url- ablo to make money the"fabrlc whlcli we call clvlllzatlon" would never have been built. The point which The Guardian tried to make was that, “P to the point where the riKl\tS °f others are recognized, selfishness ls commendable; beyond that point. where it transgresses the rlllhlll of others, it becomes a vice. The history of the world's commerc- lal and industrial development includ- ing its benoflcence and its 0IlDl'¢’§' sion will hear this out. The Guardian fl srtlclo dealt with the satisfactory working ol' organizations. Take' fm' instance, the Law Society. lt might not be to the disadvantage of the Soci- ety were a member to aspire to ll judgeship.
