The second \\'ar Cliristnias is upon tis and looking

back over the eiglitceii months which have passed since the fatal l"onrtli of .\ugiist, eighteen hundred and foiirteen, we see iniicli to be thankful for as an linperial people, inueli for which to give praise to God in our activities of life as \vell as on otir bciidcd knees. Take the spiritual awakeiiiiig of the people. Eighteen inontlis ago we were deeply sunk in gross inaterialisni, national and iiidividual selfishness. Tlte world was going well with as and we with the world. \\`e were living actuall_v. though probably not outwardly, for the tliitigs that perish. \\'e were selfish, Self-contained, inieinotional creators of material wealth, either for pun,-Civ-t-- or others. Qther interests we had practic- ally none. \\'e lived, died and were buried and as a rule the world was not one whit the better Spiritually for our existence. \\'c were inaterialists-inatcriab isis with aspirations. it may be, with the possibility of `devclopiiig to some higher form of life-but there was nothing to lift ns out of our iiiatcrialist environ- ineiit. ~

'l`lic war caiiie as a bolt from tlte blue to the un-

thinking. \\`e ivere stunned, and, niatcrialistic-like, our first interest was to lay up a store of things iicces- .sary and iiiiiiecessary, for otir o\vii material wellbeing. .\iid nobody even hinted ottr instinct was perverted. 'l`liosc \vlio had not tlie means to buy iii quantities iiiercly envied tliose so favourably positioned. \\'e are dealing in geiieralities, of course, making due allowance for the presence of the leaven which has .since permeated the whole social luiiip. But the fact reniains that the war found tis as a whole steeped in seliisliiiessf

This seltisliiiess extended even to personal service.

_\\'e grudgetl to part with ottr young inanliood. \\"hy should they neglect our industries and go forth to war? l.et otlit-rs do the fighting and we and our 'io_vs would attend to the farm, to the forge, to the lice and to the store. The uiere thought of active

ervice was rcpiigiiant to the most patriotic parent and tlie ntost. lo_\:il subject. lt was sellisliiiess of eo|ii‘sr. but it was seltisliiiess that had been iiiagiiitied to ti virtue by toni' gciiciatioiis of lotus-eating philos- o| liers.

L`ontrast that state of things with those of to-tlay.

\\e need not enntuiierate them. Materialism is fast giving place to the spirit of love and self-sacrifice. St-llisliiiess is being substituted by service. The start- dard of life has been raised. otir people are realizing the eternal truth that to do soriictliiiig for the general iiiteresl is in itself to obtain the reward. ]’otitlci° for :i nionicnt what this tt-i‘ril>le ronllict has ai‘coii'iplislie<| for the liigbci' lift- ol l'i‘iiire liilwartl island alone?

\\lu» ivere the envied ones ciglitceti niontlis ago? \\lio are they to flay? \\`hcn we have thought over this aspect of the sitiiation we cannot i'efi'ain froni this co'iielu.sioii. that the war has been responsible for a iiiiracnlons cliange in our outlook on life and has enabled ns to realise that it is more blessed to give than to receive. which is the spirit of Cliristiiiastidc. wAif§i_r°iiArioN

this even German preparedness -will scarcely be sufiici-’ ‘ ent. An attack by way of the Suez Canal would mean to face some of the largest ships and the longest guns that llritain owns. It would mean also that after sinashing through these British ships and Ilritisli guns, itself an impossible task, a inarcli of 200 miles over a desert, waterless and foodless, would have to be undertaken. And this, even to German bluff, presents' difficulties which give it the appearance of inipossi-` bility. Nevertheless a native rising may be engineered and there may be trouble, but this too will be handled.

ln tlic western area the iiiagnificeiit victory record-

That they will attempt sonictliing desperate, how-'

" ever, as the rats do under similar conditions, is to be expected. There are many reports, on few of which little reliance need bc placed. Vile are told that large bodies of troops are being moved to the western' theatre, possibly in another effort to break through to Paris or the Channel cities. They failed in this it year ago when they were better prepared and when we

were worse prepared than now, and they failed. 'l`hey` may try it again in their extreiiiity, may sacrifice tlionsands and thousands of their own men and ours, but they cannot get through. '

is that wherever the Germans turn they are faced with British guns, except in the direction of Constantinople and, according to our despatchcs to-day, that door may be shut before many days. Another fact is that that wall of guns is steadily growing and behind it are the rcsotirces of the \vhole British Empire in men and money. There can be bitt one end to the war, that is the triumph of the Allies and the downfall of German niilitarism. ,.

CRIME, I"ROM INSIDE

The Star of Hope is the name of a paper edited

and printed by tlie convicts in Sing Sing, with con- tributions from the inmates of other prisons. Need- less to say, the paper is unique, being, so far as we know, the only one of its kind in the world. Among other things this paper deals with crime and crimin- ality, deals with it from the inside, from the point of view of those who have “gone through the mill " and ‘ are therefore in a better position than anyone else to throw light on the causes and the consequences of crime. It may be objected that criminals are not the most reliable authorities, yet this is not always so. The man who has travelled on the downward road. be his career thereon long or short. and who has been stopped either by the hand of the law or by some other agency, can a tale unfold, if he will. that will be a Sure preventive to otltcrs who may be heading for the same i'oad. It may also be arguedtliat the eriiiiinal is not reliable, bttt we itiust rciiicniber that criiiiinality has niaiiy stages and that in the devious path of justice many are overtaken before they becoiiie criniiiials. All convicts are not nct‘essat'ily t‘i'iiniiials-- in the last aiialysis of the word-aiiy more than that all ivlio have escaped detection are not eriniitials. ljut to return to "The Star of Hope.”

The November nunibcr has a reinarkal.»le editorial

on “ Illiteracy and Criiiie,” which compiles some high- ly pertinent statistics and draws the coticlusioii that: “Industrial inefficiency scents to be a primary cause of crime.” It asks, “ Is want of education an inde- pendent and a eoiitrilititing cause?" 'l`liat separates cdiicatioii in the ordinary sense from iiidiisti'ial train- ing, and leaves a loophole for those few highly edu- cated iiieii who have devoted their education to rob- bery and other forms of crime. Last year there were in all ilie prisons of New York 4,95.; iiitnittes, of wlioni _:io had had either high school or college education, while .>,.:i.z had had coninioii seliool teaching; r,478 could merely read and write, and 1,055 were utterly

The percentage of illiterates in prison was 21.3 and

the percentage tliroiigliotit the country was only 7.7. 'l`liat niakes a pretty good showing for education as a preventive of crinie. The reason is, obviously, that the educated man or wotnaii is able to do something which pays bctter than crime. The :io college or high school prisoners represent probably that small
