There are in all twenty-four in- stitutions in Great Britain for Canadian soldiers On September 8th, just a month ago there were in these institutions 11,573 patients of whom h,o29 were stif- fering from wounds; 4,711 from sickness and 833 from self-invited disease. The number of sick pro- bably gives an exaggerated idea, as many of these ca- ses are no doubt slight ailments ,from which quick recovery may be expected. The number given in- cludes all t‘a.-'es, slight as well as serious and very pro- bably less than half of the 4,711 would be classed as seriutts, as the custom itivarialily is to send a soldier to hospital if tmfit for the duties of the day. (Ji the wounded, although no details are given, no doubt a large proportion of the more than 6,000 will he less tilted for the battle of life when they return than they were before the war, while many doubtless will be unable to sustain themselves. The Canadian Hospitals’ Commission has under its charge in Canada fifteen institutions for_ the care of those suffering from lung trouble and for these special provision is made as the development mav be incipient. advanced or permanent. There are twenty one homes for the treatmentiof convalescents, with accomodation for 1,700 patients. In these there are 637 patients of whom 368 have been on overseas ser- vice and 269 on home duty. In addition to these there are 088 classed as out-patients. It is gratifying to know that the accomodation thus far is in excess of the demand but thedaily growing casualty list warns ns that still further accomodation may be needed be- fore \ve have come to the end of the \veary r'oad- It i~ gratifying also to know that in all these institu- tions attention is being given to the instruction o`f the patients in work they are fitted to do, \vithin doors or without. The improvement in the earning power of the men thus gained will be all to their advantage, their pensions not being affected thereby. It will be seen, therefore, that, on the other side of the Atlan- tic and here alike, all that science and study can sug- gest is being done to reduce the disability of those who .suffer from \var service. The returns will come in the added self-reliance and ability of those who bene- fit, and to the extent of the success will the suffering from thc war be lessened. OLDER BOYS’ CONFERENCE Preparation is being matic for the holding of an “llllder Boys' Conference" in Charlottetown at an early date. \\'e like that word "older" and trust .that the age limit will be placed \vcll beyond seventy, or hotter still, eighty, for many boys are active either in ill-doing or well-doing even at that advanced age. The lives of all “boys” are so interwoven and so inter-de- pendcnt, that at every agc.they exert an influence that affects the lives of all the boys with whom they come in contact- Naturally the plastic age of youth is the most susceptible to influences and, naturally also, the younger boys follo\v thc lead of their elders. The older boys-and here there is no age limit-may make the path of the younger ones a safe or a 'lang- erous one, one to follo\v which may mean .1 fuller, more useful lifc or a life of misery. :\11 elderly lady was carefully scrutjniz - ing - the footpath in a Scottish town. Now and again she \vould pick up .zmnetliingfand place it in her turned-up apron. A policenian whose suspicions were aroused by her strange conduct, approached her and asked what she was doing. "I’|n picking up the bitsyo' broken glass that they may not hurt the feet 0' the bairnies,” was the reply. lt was simple but satisfactory. llow many of the older boys are removing obstacles from the path of the young? How many, through had example, through 'unguarded condttct,.tl1rougl1 unclean language, through sharp practice \vl1ich is not dishonesty but leads to it, are placing on the path obstacles contact with which may mean to be maimed for life. ' The young boy must be guarded; it's for the older boys to guard him, to correct when wrong, to fadvise, to encourage, to help- There is a kindness that is the worst form of cruelty. The boy whose 5|-sg grmf goes unptinishetl through the mistaken kindness of a wouldfbe friend, receives his first impetus on the downward road. This does not mean that we should jump on the boy who commits a crime, or hail him be- fore the magistrate and not rest till he goes to prison. Itgmearts-that we should not minimize his wrong-do- mg, that we should not, because we are his friend, let him_ feel that we are it shield standing over him to save him from the punishment he deserves, and that we shall do him a like service when he errs again. lt means that we should let him realize the seriousness of his offence. that we should, if necessary to enable are rarely necessary and, fortunately too, there is a better way; The boy needs the kindness that will not tolerhte wrong doing, that will frown it down and that, while frowning it down, will “lead the way" to H ing after as our younger ones, and \\e trust there will A community of “older boys” such as we have in our city and in every part of our province could do very the future of our province by rigidly adheri'\g to thc It right in every walk of life. With such a community w has ever been more/powerful _than precept and, given' a community setting a good example, the path of thc boy and his future are assured. ' it tl!

"Tl1e vast majority of Christians ln this day are useless." stoutly declared Dr. Talmage. “The most of the Lord's battalion belong to the reserve corps.

If this is so-and there is much truth in lt-then it is 11 terribly sad condi- tion of affairs, since Christians are the salt of the earth, and lf they lose their savor. wherewith shall the world be salted? ,By virtue of his calling. his powers, his blessings. and his opport- unities, there ls no one on earth that should be so fiercely active as the Christian; and Christians are active enough, but is it always about their Fathers business?
