received during the war, from the grunt work of her foreign inisi-iioiiarios ln the war a large number of Fiji Islanders had offered tiieinselves and had been accepted for service in the 'battle line;-men who it few years Hilo were cannibals. The work of the foreign missionary had entirely chang- ed their mode of life, had destroyed their pagan -traditions, had brought to them a knowledge of Christ, and 'had so permeated among them the

Christianity was that which was pre-
deavour. The Chirlstlatiity that exist- rd in the hen-rt of Christ was the Chri- stianity that the world needed today. and that Christianity must be passed on from individual to individual, t'rom institution to institution, and from nation to nation. it must. be intermit- ionni to be really Christian. Therefore the Cliurnli must be prepared to estab- lish itself ln every corner of the
theiight oi’ the Gospel. To do its work effectively the Church should have ade- fiuate equipment in both men and material, and so an appeal was being made for $100,000 on the part of the l’rer.bytei-lan Church for $100.000 and seven men, The speaker had tw need to tell his audience. he said# where the first flordlgn jmissionary from Canada came from, but magnifi- cent thouglt the work had been.

The Doctor appalled for sympathetic and hearty support of the Church, the task confronting it nt the present time being. such as required all the means that could be placed at its disposal. Men must be ready to give of their abundance, not in miserable driblets but as they will- ingly and nobly gave during the war. The sermon was ri masterpiece and was listened with marked attention throughout.
The congregation at both services
were large aiiddntcresteii and the singiiig was all that could be dcsired.
THE METHODIST CHURCH Rev. 0.1... Kilborn, Medical Missionary from China was the preacher at the service in the Methodist Church on Sunday evening. Ho delivered a vcry interesting -diiscourse dwelling upon the needs of Chinn., politically, econ- oinically, religiously, socially and spir itually. lie showed that the attitude of the Chinese had cliailged In 25 years of missionary work in that coun- try. At, the outset they had despised the missionary but now they uuuisllt hlg friendship. Twenty-eight years ago four missionaries and their wives opened the work in tho western pro- vince of Chautu und today there uw 190. Dr. Kilboru submitted many in- teresting fact; in connection with the great work being carried on in that distant land and his address was roi- lowed with the closest attention by the large congregation.

The Church must take care of its
young people by providing suitable Citi-istian institutions. VVe must also Ciinadianise the foreign elements of our population without letting them feel that they were being deiiatlonal-I lseil. We shall establish the 'best Canadian life by uniting in a harmon- ious whole all that is lies; and wor- thy 'ip_-,all elcineiits of our people,purg- ing the unworthy cliaractefristics. The speaker said that Canada had ton long worshipped Mnminon in the i'orm of the vicu trziiiic and the liquor trallic, now happily curbed. The people had awzikeued and were no longer to be driven like untliinklng beings. They iwaliscd that they had itlwtls and were prepared to~st.ztiid for them. It was therefore necessary to turn ther en- ergies in tho right direction. . The call to the Church was to deliver her mag. sage anew with incrcascfl fervoiir and insistence. The Church must provide the dynamic for the social chaiiges that were to be made. No worthy soc- ial undertaking of any iinportance could be mentioned that was not vit- nlly dependent on tho Church for support and inspiration, The Church ulust. look for v.carious life: Men and women must be found to devote their lives to the service of G-od. The speak- er mentioned instances of noble self- sacrifice in the Christian cause .and made an appeal for further efforts to -tho end that Christ's message might be delivered to those who were in darkness.

Canada is begin-ning to realize the advantage of having in mercantile marine of its own. l understand sixvy ships are now under construction for the Canadian Govern. ment. That will give Canada a new lii_~ terest in the British nierciinntile mar- nie.
Admiral Jellicoe went on to. say that
at the commencement of the war, the British Navy cons-lated of 620 vessels. At the end of the war they tomild _iii/00. The personnel of the navy, active and reserve, was 220,000 in 1914, and rosa to 400.000 ofdcera um men. The naval aircraft rose from 00 to 3,000. That great force is rapidly uifwpneorlns. me sreszsr par; im. gi- ready disappeared. "He continund," the small trnwlers and tlsltinl Chit brought into the war for certain pur- poses, no longer exist.

We note visit to Toronto regarding Charlottetown being made a port ul. call by our vessels, and may say thati this matter is being studied out ln] this oiilce. For our lnforination andi to assist us in properly grasping thei situation. will you please say its re-;
gards Great Britain, how many! months of the year would it be pro- fitable for us to put our steamers in-I to Cliarlottetown? and to what ports| should t-he ships be sent? Furthelxi as to the volume of business we arc! likely to get in the period mentioned.,
We presume that a steamer calling’
once ii. month on her way to the Unit-j ed Kingdom would be suiilcleut, butf will appreciate very much indeed asf niuili inforniation as you can give`us- as to what you think can be done.
It is pleasing to note that Mr. Mes-
sorvey is going into this matter thor- oughly, tindiug out all the necessary particulars and will send a complete statement covering the points of in. formation required.
The service referred to in the letter
Nuuifiug a steamer from 200' to 300 tons, which they could not supply- il between Pictou, P. E. Island and the Magdalen Islands. -
Mr. Messervey is certainly i7o`ba
commended up on his efforts to bl” lb” lufscr steamers cull at.CharlU17t»- town and if the Government concern can only ‘be prevailed upon to carry out the idea. it will certainly boo source of gratification to Mr. Heller- voy and every citizen alike. _
