To us this morning there 1s the thrilling chal- lenge of a new day. Forget not the lessons of the past.

Dr. Vincent's evening sermon, “Jesus and Forgiveness of sins” was heard with close attention by a largo congregation. A feature of the evening ‘worship was the sing- ing of "God will Lake care of you”, by the choir. The meetings of the annual week of united prayer were announced and it was intimated that on Wednesday evening at 7.30 in the Baptist Church, the annual meeting of the Charlottetown Aux- iliary of the British azid Foreign Bible Society would be held.

A world wide appeal will probably be made to women. Committees of leading women are devising demon- strations of the 8€X'5 achievements throughout civilisation; of the work and influence of its greatest repre- sentatives; of the developments in women's interests domestic, scientific. industrial and cultural. As yet the commttee-women have‘ not got far with the preparations. Before completing the programme they expect suggestions from wom- en in various parts of the Empire. Ideas will be cordially welcomed, and every effort will be made to give effect to them. Women in any part of the world who are interest- ed ln feminist affairs may uric making suggestions to the Lord Mayor of Melbourne. SIX UCIDOK CLOSING During the Great War laws were passed enforcing the closing of all hotel bars and wine saloons at 6 p. m. instead of 11.30 p.m. and afterwards 0 p.m. The liquor trade has suffered from the depression. Early closing has increased the bottTe-trade, but it has led to a gradual decrease in liquor consump- tion, for Victoria is a State capable of administering its laws, without evasion enough to be a scandal. The trade has begun an agitation for an extension of hours to 9 p.m. 1t has very faint prospects of success. The people seem satisfied. A. sceton of them see only one objection-vine real or imagined injustice of allow- ing the well-io-do man to drink at his club at any hour of the day or ink afler 6 p.m. to wage-earner whose only club is the hotel. Another force of opinion favors the view that an hotel-club represents more injmicc to the. working man than advauxlgc.

Given an uninterrupted selling pro-l gramme to Christmas, at the pres- cnt bale average, approximately £15,000,000 will have been realsed before the New Year. A commence- ment of sales was made in a notice- ably better salesroonl atmosphere than that of the beginning of the sales of the last clip: prices aggre- gated sllghtly higher, too, even al- lowing for the difference in ex- change and England's change-over from gold lo sterling in the inter- val. Since openug sales, prices have receded a little, good combing mer- inc fleece being mosfy affected; least concerned are sklrtlngs of all grades, for which u strong demand persists on Conlincnlal account, France leading.

The quality of the livestock and agricultural produce has been" pur- tlcularly high. 'WOOL INTERESTS Although prices did not quite :each the level of the September wool sale n Adelaide, probably be- cause the quality of the clips was not of the same high level, the av- erage of the October auctions was satisfactory when compared with the rates ruling at this time last season.

Labor members of the Fed- eral Legislature disapprove of the agreement on the ground that it involves excessive concessions .tc Britain, and the party generally is concerned about the possibility of unemployment in connection with certain industries.
