old_ story of the wish being farther to the thought. If there eve_r was a government in Canada of which it could _be said un- qualifiedly that it succeeded_in all that it undertook, that government is the present Union Government led by Sir Robert Bor- den. Under it and by it things have been accomplished that would have been ab- solutely impossible under a _one party gQV' ernment.lt requires no special perspicacity to see this. It should not be difficult for Canadians especially to recognize the greatness of what _the Canadian Govern- ment has done during the past four years and with even more marked success since the formation of the Union Government. Our Allies have seen and acknowledged it; the United States government has sent its ministers and its commissioners to Canada to study Canada’s methods in the carrying _on of Certain 210- tivities in connection _with the war. The United States press is continuously pointing out to its people _“how Canada does it.” Only the few derelicts who were left stranded on the_politi_cal rocks after all that was best in L1berali_sm_had left the party and gone over to Unionism, can see failure in the Union Government and that failure, properly interpreted, means ‘that they themselves were left on the rocks.

In a recent issue the Boston _Monitor,

under the caption “Canada’s Union Gov- ernment” said:

“When-Sir Robert Borden, just about a

year ago, finally adhieved the object he had been striving for, often against the advice of his friends, namely a Union Gov- ernment, it was quite clear, to those' who in any measure grasped Sir Robert s pur- pose, that something much more had _been achieved than a mere political coalition. Sir Robert had, indeed, been striving for many months to bring about coalition. He had made the most generous offers t_o those who opposed him. He had shown his complete disinterestedness _by offering to step down from the premiership, if an- ther could be found to take that office who would command the allegiance of all par- ties. He was, however, met at every turn by an unyielding refusal, and so he set up his standard of a Union _Governmen_t, founded upon the simple thesis that at this hour in history, party should be forgotten and Canadians should see_ only Canada as a part of the British Empire engaged in a great struggle for humanity. _All that was best in Canada rallied to this standard, and whenthe Union Government appealed to the country last December, Canada, by a great majority, approved the platform on which that government was founded. "‘Now every country, according to th_e well-known dictum, has thc government it deserves. In other words, the government is an expression of the people, and never was this more clearly seen than in the case of Canada at the present time.”

After cQmmenting__upon a number of

things done by the Union Government the Monitor concludes: ' _ _ `

“Altogether the record is a great one,

and the allied cause is under a debt to Canada, 'not only for her achievement, but for her examp1e.” _

INDUSTRI A L ACIIIEVEM ENT

The magnitude of Canada’s industrial

activities, as cited by the latest available figures, continues to be a warrant for con- fidence as to th_`e future. True, production, has been abnormally favored by _assured markets and removal 'of competition and of cost considerations, but, on the other hand, it has been abnormally restricted by the absence of hundreds of thousands of men from industry _and by difiioiilties as to raw materials. - . The slackening in munitions orders and output has _been compensate_d_by a great increase in shi building activity, at first on Imperial M nitions Briayd and ~Npre wegian orders, 'and lattei'ly.~for Canadian

the light of such prosperity.

TRIBUTE T0 CANADIANS

Boasting is certainly not a Canadian

characteristic. Andyet “we have whereof to glory,” if we were so inclined. Our Can- adian troops have won imperishable glory in the past four eventful years, glory that will cast no shadow on the record written by their ancestors in golden letters across a thousand years of history. Our generals tell with modest dignity in brief official reports what they have done; they leave it to others to make comments and the com- ments make proud reading for Canadians.

'Recently Mr. Charles H. Grasty, the able

military correspondent of the New York Times paid the Canadians the following notable tribute. _ ~_ ,

“Canadian exploits must. make every

_`\i0rth American heart- thrill. They are North Americans with four years’ exper- ience in war and nobody else quite plays the game up to their glory. They can fight as individuals or in organized units, afoot or on horseback. They are as practical as they are brave. Every man jack of them is in the pink of condition. Troops who travel alongside of them have their work cut out. General Currie seems to carry light rail- ways in his pocket and if the Canadians have to stop anywhere for a day or two, transportation facilities spring up behind them as if by magic. The Germans will go miles out of their way to avoid the Canucks.” -

NOTES "

_The capture of Albert, the important

i‘ailway_centre, added to the taking of the key-position of Lassigny, shows that the tide of battle has definitely turned against -he_ enemy.

Our soldiers are coming out of this ex-

perience with a new respect for law and order. Perhaps in that fact lies a hope for the future efficiency of civil government in our cities.-Detroit News. --

An Englishman has been fined for lib-

clling a fellow countryman by calling him fi German. The magistrate said it was the worst slander that _could be- conceived, Alas, how are the mighty fallen l-Quebec Telegraph. _

N0 'fewer than 2,000,000 letters and

other suspected documents have been seiz- ed in th_e United States mails. The scope of the sedition-monger _is being restricted greatly th_ese _<§iys,_which is satisfactory to all but himse 1. Uncle Sam is keeping a sharp eye on his doubtful citizens.

Disillusion is declared to be sweeping ov-

er Germany. With the way things are going at the front it would be astonishing were the feeling otherwise.The war is pro-_ gressing to the German’s disadvantage at last, and from now on the bitter truth will be brought home to them more strongly every day. Germany is on the defensive for good and all. _

Each recurrent anniversarypf the open-

ing of the war throws into clearer relief Germany and Austria’s guilt. It is now known (what was only suspected in July, 1914) that the Kaiser and the' late Arch- duke Francis Ferdinand planned -at Mir- amar aiid Konopischt, the 1-~eacherous at- tack on Serbia, which Was subsequently carried out with such violence, and perfidy. Prince Lichnowsky has told us that Ber- lin 'insisted “Siberia must be massacred.” Dr. Muhlon has revealed the whole Pots- dam plot. The free nations can never -be safe solong as the men who engineered this war are inpdwer and held in honor by

Government and private account. There is_

the Hans. ~

or a p ,

or whether he be killed in action or dying in his bed in time of peace, ls not a saved man. it Christianity ~ is true. There is no saving merit in be- ing a soldier any more than there is ln being a preacher. It is_not ii matter' of what men are doing outwardly. but what we are inwardly; its a matter * of the soars relationship to ood. A`ii \vho turn from their sins and accept of

Jesus Christ are saved.

_SELF DECEPTION-"A phllosopli er" wants to know whether it-person may be very bad and persuade. hiin~ self that he 'is good? Yes, it is very possible. l’eople`do succeed in de- ceiving themselves and the deception may be so perfect they do not know they are deceived. No honest man can have that experience, but when, one tampers with sin and confesses to ho ii christian, ho is taking ii lesson in selfdeceplion which ho will soon master. Read Matthew 7:21:-23, this ` :tnswers your question -ln full.

The love that iiiéosu-res giving and

receiving- is not likely to be lashing. True love gives its best freely, and

keeps no niggar_flly account of how much it gets back. We never shall have deep friendship and close ties so long as we -insist on just so much

recognition and retuun for everything we do. Love does not bargain; lt giv- es; and its highest symbol is the Cross, where love Absolute poured itself out for iialf-comprehendiiig. and slow-hearted'miin_ ,' `
