MONTREAL. Jail. 211.-Fifty-seveii

Fiji Islanders arrived in the this city en route to England. where they hope to enlist in Kitcheuei"s army. They are under the command of Capt. Swin- burne and are staying at the Windsor Hotel, having travelled direct from their country to Vancouver in a Brit- isii boat, and from there ou by Cana- dian Pacific Railway. They will sail for England on the Scandinavian from Halifax; and when they reach Eng- land wil have completed a trip of 11,177 miles, the longest_ undertaken by any colouiais rushing to the de- fence of the. Empire.

The uien are irregulars and are

ready to be drafted for whatever pur- pose seems best. Living to the plan- ters life in the South Sens, all are expert horsemen and accustomed to discipline and authority. it is expect- cd_ they will become commissioned oflicers. -

They say a powerful Japanese fleet

was iii the vicinity of the Fiji Archi- pelago when they left. So large was one warship that 800 men from that ship alone got shore leave at Suva, when it arrived to coal.

m'orning Rev Z. L. Fash preached on liuinliity and Thankfuiness. He used two texts: “Humble yourselves tiicrc- fore uudcr thc iniglity hand of God," i Pct. 5: ii; and “Bc thankful unto Him and bless His name," Ps. 100 : 4. How different are the conditions lu the world to-day from what they were seven months ago. it is true we are sitting here iii quietness uudlstiirbed as then, but there is a big unrest in every heart. Seven months ago there seemed to be no peril confronting the British Empire, but to-day valiant ami loyal soldiers are in the firing line or are getting ready to go. Our interest is across the waters on the fields ol` France. Belgium and Poland, where the biggest war of the ages in being fought out, and where thousands of men are weltering in blood. These are trying times when the souls of men are tested. The condition which confronts us to-day is much more ser- ious than if was seven months ago. it should bring us nearer to God. in these days of heart searching wc should look to God with humility and tliankfulness. 1

Our first text teaches this- very

strongly. "Humble yourselves there- fore under the mighty hand of God." We need to do this. 'We ‘thank God for the British Empire and what it stands for. Liberty and Justice are written large on her escutcheon. She stands for the protection of the weak andoppressod. She stands for peace and we have the consciousness that everything was done by British states- men that could he done to avert this terrible calamity that is novi~ like li pall hanging over the world.

the cause of this war was lack of hu- mility. 'rue German people have been miigm for forty years that it is their destiny to he the ruling power in the world. The children have had drilled into them, that Germany did not have o fair chance in the world. They Were shut out from the destiny 10 W111C11 their great culture entitled them. The only way for them to get their right place in the sun was to iight for it. That has been the food upon which me German people have fed and the little chiidreii drank it with their mo- tl\er's milk. With such an exalted idea of themselves and their mighty destiny what wonder they forgot to emphasize the riifhi. of others. They were taught that the rights of Ger- many were greater than the Sermon on the Mount. it was the pride of the German heart, forgetful of the lowly Nazarene, that brought on this war, ‘and the German Emperor and the Ger- man people will have to answer for this .before Almighty God.

We need not only to humble our-

tl'i"i`A\VA, Jan. 23.-The report

from England that a brigade of Cana- dian cavalry will go to Egypt, is re- garded hero as probably correct. The disposition of the troops raised by Canada rests with the War Oflice, but the announcement some weeks ago that mounted troops would be recruit- cd was coupled with the intimation that they could be ol' use in other theatres of war than France and Bel- gium. Egypt was indicated specially at that time. The appointment ot’ Colonel V. A. S. Wiliains to command this brigade has not been determined upon, so far as is known iicre though it is a likely one.

battered and bleeding by a strong and brutal enemy. Lei. us thank God that our Canada has been spared the de- vastating effects of an invading army.

it is true our sous are going to war.

if fiic war continues, we shall have our cup of sorrow. But even in this there is niuch consolation. These iiobie lads go to the war of their own accord. They are every one of them volunteers. They go because they love the British Empire, and because they believe this is a war for the de- fense of liberty and against militar- ism and aristocratic despotism. Let us be tliankfui for the loyalty of our soldier lads to the cause oi' freedom and Empire.

Then I think we should be thankful

to God for the splendid unity of the British Empire in this time of stress, and strife. The British Government is going to prove itself the best. be- cause it gives the people their liber- ties. The people are not mere ma- chines of the Goverunient. They are free born men and they keep that way to the end. They are not compelled to fight for the Empire but they will- ingly show their gratitude by rushing to the front. The death of the British Empire, they know, would be the put- ting back of the highest civilization of the times. Our people know that what Mr. Asqulth said in the House of Commons on August Gtli last is true that this war is “in defence of principles which are vital to thc civil- ization of the world." it. is zi grt.-at thing to be uiiiicrl in war. but ii, is something still grcutcr lo he uiiitcd

I think we should bc thankful that

We may hivcst our money in what we tiiink is a ~sa~fe -'liivestnrcnt' and‘1t‘ma'y‘ fall 'u‘s.` But when we invest in Jesus (Thrisl‘ we are sure to gain. He is the same yesterday. fo-day and forever. This war is showing up human frailfics, but over against our inipcrfecliomi stands the perfection of Jesus Christ. lie alone can take away the sins of the world. Let us bc truly thankful

i`or such a Saviour.

We have reached the marvellous

work of art by the Danish sculptor, Thorwalilson, Christ and the Twelve Apostles. There stand these twelve Apostles in uiarhic. You see the weakness and strength of each man. There is the impulsive Peter. There is the calm and saintly John. There is the deception and treachery of .lu- ilas. There you see the doubt of Tho- mas. -These are twelve great men, buf they have their weakuesss and you can see them in the marble. Hut. enchface is turned towards n central figure, which is more commanding than all the others. There the Christ stands, and in his face and figure no sign of weakness or uncertainty is seen. it is the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Let ns be
