(Continued fr_om__page one) as well as for individual integrity. These are the things that constitute our invaluable inheritance, of which we surely are determined we shall not be robbed by 9-Ili' power that we know on the earth today. The very privil- eges that we enjoy and are fn peril today were bought 'for us at a great price; our sacred right was won for us on the field of battle. The charters of our freedom are surely written in the blood of heroes who gladly sacri- ficed their lives for the permanence of that freedom. Men have been battling, sacrificing, dying ever since we were a nation to give us what liberties we enjoyed today. We imperll not only our own freedom, our own influence,” concluded the Doctor, "but we imperll the advance of the Kingdom of God if we refuse to play our part in this great tragedy, so that truth and free- dom may triumph in the end.”

YIIIIIT 0UR FLII6 -SYIIBOLIZES

At Zion Church, in the evening, n

very large congregation listened with the kecnest interest to a very inter- esting address ably given by the pastor the Rev. G. Taylor, on the subject "What Our Flag Symbolizes." With striking appropriateness the Union Jack was draped on the platform at tho buck of the» pulpit. Mr. Taylor said:

The usage of carrying banners on the

field of battle is world-wide and also very ancient. It is hard to flnd a peo- ple in history who did not conform to this custom and in every case the flag was saved. The Roman banners- were consecrated before being given to the soldlers and in times of peace they were carefully laid up in s iciuarics. The soldier esteemed the saxguarding of the flag a sacred duty. Numerous incidents might be cited of prodigies of valor being performed in protecting the standard from capture. When the |Romans under Julius Caesar drew up off the coast of Britain, tho soldiers hesitated to leave the ships until the standard bearer, leaping overboard, shouted " Follow me comrades unless you desire to see your standard taken." The soldiers immediately sprang over- board and fought their way to land. So in the case of Essex, at the. siege of Cadiz. VVlien the mcn failed to scale the wall, he threw the flag over the ramparts and nothing could re- sist the onslaught that followed, the town being taken. In the Peninsular war we have the same devotion ex- emplified in a fight for the flag between French and British. The flag was torn from its staff and the last Briton as he fell wrapped the tattered emblem around his body. But almost every nation can furnish parallels with these. - '

THE INFLUENCE OF THE FLAG.

What is there in a flag that can in-

spire such devotion? Wherein lies the influence of our own Union Jack? In

a. general way we all know, that it symbolizes 'the poitlcal union of the British Isles, but that in no way ex- plains the power of the flag over the mind of the average Britislier. Let me relate an incident that took place dur- ing my holidays. In one of our large cities. where the war fever was at its height, great crowds of people inul gathered to read the bulletins, and among them some young ladies were passing through selling sinull flags for the benefit of the Red Cross Society. 1 had been talking to at friend who was heal of n department in a large sturo on the square where the crowd wus gathered. He had been showing ine some interesting things, and, among others, e. lace handkerchief of original design which was expected to bring s. fabulous price. It seemed so absur u trifle that I asked wliat~ho thought any to pay such a price foriuch u seeming pcrson would do~.witii- such a. costly bit of work. He replied: “They may -tear it to pieces if they so desire. We don't cure what they do with it so long as they pay our price." It was just after this that what promised to dev- elop into a riot took place on the square. On enquiry, I found that ull the trouble had arisen through a half drunken man, who had purchased a five cent flag, giving vent to some fool- ish talk and proceeding to tear up the flag. Was it not his? Had he not paid for it? Could he not do what he liked with his own? It taught me at once something of what a flag meant. A man might pay a hundred and fifty dollars for a lacc liundkercliief and tear it to pieces, no person interfering, but a man who dared to tear up u five cent piece of cotton stumped with the Union Jack, could only do so a; the peril of his life. This at once tells us the futility of any man attempting to explain all that the flag means. What a story is connected with it! How it gathers into itself the very es- sence of our life ns s. people and an Empire. Let us take it in its colors and try to get at its symbolism-its

deeper meaning.

In the red I see thc,sign of sacri-

fice. What a' price'has Britain paid, not for the building of her Epipire merely, but for her work in thai cause of freedom. lt is no vain claim we make when we say that Britain's first great gift to the world is the guarantee of Liberty. Many rulers have followed her through admiration and others through fear as they felt the impatient chafing of their people who had be- come acquainted with the free insti- tution of Britain. But the mission of Britain has,not been one of material aggrandizement, her'o has not been th`e role of sacrifice. What she has gained is small compared with what she has given. The toll of life is not to be counted through war statistics, for men have given themselves rn every departriient of the Empil'e’s work.;- ey

are largely unrecorded'.`~ Q1

In the white we have” thepsymb, I of

honor-Brftain's cause, mill In a white cause. In our present struggle we have been disappointed at the fail- ure of civilization, we have been made sorrowful for- the awful expenditure of human life, butnre we ashamed? We strove for-peace, we counselfed a cessation of armaments, but when our integrity as a people was threatened with compromise, we had no choice loft but to draw the sword. "A scrap of paper," said the German Chancellor, and so far as Germany was concerned that is all that the Treaty of London really was. But a scrap of paper with the name of Britain upon it, set then by representative Britons, calls the whole power of the Empire, if need be, to carry out the terms of a promise -_thus made. And the Treaty of London

‘is mu effective Just because or me white on Brltaln's flag, and the honor that characterizes her in the matter of the keeping of good faith at any cost.

In the `Blue we llave the- symbol of

National Fidelity. Britain must to herself be true and history is again called in to prove her case. We have our own domestic brawls. Among our- selves we strongly say our say and we strike hard, but we resent any inter- ference by our neighbors. At any hint of invasion, we have always laughed aside our personal differences and join- ed hands to meet the foe. In the days of the great Armada, England was rent asunder through religious difo ferences. Catholic and Protestant en- gaged in plot and counter-plot until it seemed that any enemy might take the land. But at the first word of the Ar- mada sll that fell into the background and, Howard of Effingham. himself a Catholic, led the English fleet to vic-

more hopeless than the condition of a.f`i`airs in Ireland a week before the declaration of war? And yet what a front the enemy found wbcre only he had expected internal strife and dis- sension. The blue of our flag stands for our fidelity to one another as Britons.

DOES THIS YIIR PROVE

CIIRISTIIIIIIIY II FAILURE?

At the Baptist Church last night

Rev. Z. L. Fash preached o stirring sermon on the war. Every once in a C

this war proves the failure of Chris- b tianity. ls that true? We are shocked 0 by the horrors of this war. We talk ¢ about our Christian civilisation. and U

thousand years have passed since the Prince of Peace came to earth, und 1 yet the earth to-night is drenched in \

sians to be good friends we sneerell at i Moscovlte civilisation and said, “Scratch a Russian and find a Tartnr."’ Are the‘ Moliammednns saying now to us: “Scratch a Christian and find a heathen " ? A clever cartoon recently appeared in n Chicago pnper, which pictured the heathen nations sitting in the front seats of an amphitheatre chuckling together while the Chris- tians werc fighting below. There is much more truth in this cartoon than

we are willing to admit.

What is the cause of this war? Is

Cliristianity responsible for it. We think not. Jesus Christ was opposed to war in this form. lie came to bring pence to the earth. Christ is not the cause of this war. What is the cause then? It is the lust of wnr in the human heart, we answer. Mr Asquith was right when hc accused the German Emperor of blood lust. He has covered up his real intentions under the guise of peace. He has been a false prophet crying peace, peace, but he did not xneun peace. Ile hns been forging armaments for his own selfish purposes, and now the mask is off. lt is blood lust that has lured him on. There is more or less of this in every human heart, and this war

the awful depravity of the hunmn

God, but by selfishness. This war is not the result of Christianity, ,but is going on in spite of it.

The fact of tho matter is Chris-

tianity has always fought against wur. It hns always been opposed to the spirit of hatred and pride and aggres- sion and wrong. Cllristiuriity is con- stantly trylng to cradicnto the war lust spirit f'rom the human heart, but it is remarkable how it persists. The blood lust does not die easy.

It some strange that this wnr should

break out just now when wo were most hopeful for the cessation of wnr and thc coming in of arbitration und world pence. We wcrc soon to cele- brate one hundrcd yours oi' pcucc be- tween United States and Canada. The International Church Pence Confer- ence was to assemble at Constance, August 2-7. Over 200 delegates were expected to meet there from all ovor the world from practically all the Pro- testant Churches in the world. The war broke up the (Tonfcrencc and scattered the delegates. Dr Clifford, thc great Nonconf`ormist lczulcr in England, was compelled to lcavc for home. When ho started England had not declared war, and he had an article written for thc English press advocating neutrality. When he reached England and read Sir Edward Grey`s speech ho endeavoured to flnd reasons for England to stay out, but he was compelled to admit that the Government had not taken ix single wrong stop. In his own pulpit he declared flint the war was justifiable on the part of England, as sho had honestly endeavoured to keep the peace. It was on her part a war of

honour in defence of the right.

ENGl_AND's cHnlsT|AN ACTION. Let us nsk ourselves the question,

"Could England keep out of this war? Could she stand idly by and see the neutrality of Belgium violated? Would il he thc purt oi' a Christian to yield to the betrnyer and tear up the treaty ,

When we did not consider thc Rus- la

nd to pluy the traitor to her friend n her extremity simply because there was no exact written agreement flint she should help fight her battles? There was a. moral obligation if there was no written one.

But the statesmen of England saw

furtlicr than this. The very life of the British Empire \vns threatened. Germany would not be long in attack- ing Britain ii’ she conquered l~‘ranl:c and Belgiuni. ls it right to defend your life against the nftnck of an assassin? Britain is to-day fighting for the life of the Empire.

But the issue is deeper than this.

England is fighting the battle i`or the freedom of the world. Kipling in his latest poem felis us “ The Hun is at the gate." What does that menu but' that our liberties are in danger. l-le concluded thc poem with these memor- able lines:

"Who stands if freedom fall? Who dies if England live?"

England did not want to use war

to preserve liberty. Sbc was coin- pclled tc. As l)r Dale said, England was willing to pay the cost of pcucc even at the cost ol' war. The German Emperor ‘wus bound to " hack his way through." llis policy is flint of blood and iron. Germany is fighting for nggrandiseniont. England is fighting for peace and liberty. Euglund‘s war is to make an end of war. She wants to conduct the war in the same way flint Abraham Lincoln did, “ that she may invoke the considerate judgment of' mankind and tho gracious favour of` Alnii lit God " '

the Rev, R. H. Boyer, thc newly up- pointed district secretary of the Cana- dian Bible Society, who preached u forceful and convincing sermon from Matthew 28, 19, on “The Great Com- mission.” Ho said in effect that if the church is to be true to its ideal and calling it must carry out this commission throughout the whole of the world. There is no nobler work than bringing Christ to the world, and this is being done vcry largely through the agency of the Ilible. The British :md Foreign Bible exists for one pur- pose alone, nuniely, to give the Bible to the people oi' thc world in their own language. The Bible has made the British Empire what it is, and it has so entered into its every fibre of Empire, that it would not surrender itself in the present crisis. ‘Speaking oi’ the work of` translating the scrip- tures, the preacher told_th‘em that it cost $40,000 for th`e'Bible to be trans- lnlcd into a single langimgc, and the Methodist denomination hns the Book translated into 91 languages. Mr. Boyer went on to speak of the diffi- cult and arduous work of translation. livery dollar spent by the Bible Sociofv brings’ in u return ol' but 37 cents; and when the Bible is trunsiutcil and given to the people, the only thing thc Soci- ety asks is that it be sold nt a price within the reach of ull, and that if there should be any who are too poor to be uble to secure it, ,the Book should be given to them free of charge. He referred to the Bible as u missionary agency in the world, and quoted a n1issionary’s remarks, that missionary work would be a failure withouf. the Bible, the universal dis- tribution of which had more influence than the voice of the missionary, nat- urally conilned. The speaker also re- in-rrcd to the fact. that hy the permis- sion of the Minister of Militia. every soldier leaving th_e,.sl\orcs of our ln-

This is no ordinary wnr. The

nintoriulislic views of Germany nmko her to-duy prnlziicully u pagan people. ’l‘li:=y lmvn on the veneer of n Chris- tian civilisation, but that has peeled oil' now. We sec how they treated thu beautiful city of Louvnu. We rcnd oi' the brutzllilios oi' their soldiers in filo abuse of helpless worncn and children. Tho denying of God und thc rational- isrn of Gerrnnny is no\v findim; its ro:-uills. This wnr is a fnlso form of Profcstunisnr stacking n truc forrn. lt is n struggle for thc supremacy of a syslcm. lt is a military dcspotisrn endeavouring to conquer the world. Mr Edison very truly says this wnr is a necessary surgical operation. The liberties ol' tho world are endangered by the pride and haughtiness of Ger-l many. ’i‘hc operation is severe und it will help Germany if she survives the shock. It will rid the world of n uionzurc io llic Iiiglicr form of civilisa- tion. This war will get Christian civilisation rid ui” nu inizubus which lliroutcncd its lifo i`or firmly years.

Vliristinnity is not the utilise of this

war. The world has gradually grown better under the sway of Jesus Christ. These wurs that huvo occurrerl are only eruptions. They have purified the blood of the body. It is not Chris- tinuity that has caused the war, but thc luck of it in the German Empire. When this wur is over the work of thc Prince of Pence will be more fully recognised than evcr. It is because.

nearest to gospel ideals that we pray for the success of British arms.

LONDON, Sept. 12.~ The battle of

Marne as General French christened the great struggle now going on for weoks in the territory between Paris and Verdun between the allied armi- es and the Germans has not yet reac- hed a decisive result. The Germans' right , however, in face of superior forces, and threatened with an out- fianklng movement continues to l‘c~ treat north along the road over which General Von Kluck made his light- ing march after defeating the allies at Mons, Cnmbrai and St. Quentin. With General Von Kluck, also, ac- cording to French Official reports, the right wing of General Von Bul- ow's Army. which supported his left, is falling back onthe River Aisne and Olse. On Von Buelcw's left the army of the Prince of Wurtemburg, which has been trying for weeks to break through the French Line has also stopped fighting and retired to the North. The German left wing, com- posed of sections of the Prince of Wurtemburg's Army and the Army of olhe German Crown Prince is still fighting with varying success.;

PARTICULARS OF THE I

BATTLE 0F MARNE

, These arfnies._appear to have passed Verdun. Berlin reports say they bombarded fortlded positions south of that fortress. A compr»hcn- sivc report from Paris indicates that General Von Kluck got farther south of Paris than has been heretofore disclosed. His advance was faster than he was given, credit for. It seems that had the German armies on his left moved nearly as quick as he did, the battle of Marne would have been fought. However, faced by the strong allied forcc and also threatened by another French force advancing from Paris, Von Kluck was forced to with- draw northward. in the fighting, ac- cording to British and French re- ports. numbers of German guns, hun- dreds of prisoners and part of the German transports were taken. The Germans deny this report and explain to the people of Ilcrlln that there was u mistake in thc telegram. British papers refuse to accept this state-
