I. cur-gr; WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1929 A MONUMENT INDEED ~The name of the late General Brjamwell Booth will not go down among those of the successful cap- taina of industry. To the people who think of success in terms of dollars cents it must seem unaccount- able that this man, who, up to within lfifew months of his death was the sole trustee of millions of dollars’ ‘ worth oi Salvation Army property throughout the world, died practic- ally pennilem. Even the house he died in belonged to relatives. His S ‘will, probated ‘a few days ago, left property oi a. grom value of £913. And. this was all-nnancially-he had to show for a lifetime oi public service and for opportunities of ac- quiring a fortune which come to very few men in any walk of life. _ In a! age when even evangelism has been commercialized. and when I Billy Sunday or ari Amy Semple MacPherson can vie with the latest movie star in drawing profitable houses, General Booths example is somewhat refreshing; His career must have offered innumerable temp- tations in the way oi acquiring wealth, yet he seems not to have noticed them. Money to him was something of which he had an amount in trust-all too little for the work to be accomplished. Like the gold of which Heaven is said to be‘ paved, it was useful, even inval- uable in its place, but scarcely worth picking up and putting in one's pocket. It could be applied, of course to the acquisition of legitimate lux- IIIIHL to provision for one‘: family, to the erection of a. monument suit- lble tn the dignity of a General oi the greatest Army on earth. All this mllht have been done without fear oi criticism from the outside world. ' Surely the servant’ is worthy of his hire? General Booth would have been the last to deny the h-uth o; this biblical maxim: yet of whom was he the servant, and for what had "M 'r he hired? Ii all men are truly broth- " crs, if all service counts the same with God, who are one‘s family, and what are distinctions of rank? General Booth builded a monu- ment greater than he knew, though it is not of the kind to attract the a. worthy son oi his father, the form. d" °1 "l! treat organization in whose service their lives, and of whose passing the poet Vatchel Lindsay wrote; “Booth died blind, but still by faith he trod, Eyes still dazzled by the ways of God Booth led boldly and he looked the chief; Eagle countenance in sharp relief, Beard a-flying, air of high com- mand Unabated- inthat holy land. . . . ‘Jesus came from out the 'Court- house door.

The preservation of meat by freezing depends on this principle. If the constituent particles of the meat are not allowed to change their relative positions they must stay as they are: they cannot enter into the interactions of decay. In this Province we are not mak- ing as much use ‘of freezing as we might. True, we keep our fowl, lamb and other meats in cold storage; but the benefits of freezing might be applied in other directions. For in- stance, strawberries have been froz- en in the month of July and kept frozen until the following winter, when they were found to possms all their original flavor. Strawberries and cream-if we make the proper use of such freezizng faculties as we have-should not be an uncommon treat throughout the winter months. TRUE PATRIOTISM A timely note is struck by tho Man- itoba Free Press in a. recent editorial on “Canadians and their Country." Canada is admittedly the coming nation oi the world. it has been said. with perhaps more truth that we are yet capable oi conceiving, that the ‘Twentieth Century belongs to Can- ada. The vast possibilities in West- ern and Central Canada. of mineral re- ly been tapped. The Maritime Pro- vinces are only beginning to come in- to their own. We have before us. as a nation within the great British Commonwealth, a future as grandma glorious, as any that poet or philo- sopher has described. We have a democracy which is more truly demo- cratic than that of our great neigh- bor to the South; we have more freedom and less crime; we have what we believe w sounder polit- ical prlnciples to guide us and nob- ier traditions to inspire us. In the natural love of a country such as Canada, in the respect for its free in- stitutions, and in the common de- sire for its legitimate advancement and for making it in every sense a better country to live in, there is plenty to inspire the purest oi pat- riotism. And this patriotism need in no sense be boastful or iingoistlc. As the Free Press well says: “The cultivation of a true and intelligent patriotism is in every way desirable. It implies nothing of excessive emotionalism or oi vain-glorious boasting. 1t will help to weld together the different strands that are forming the Can- adian nation, and the people of the different sections from coast to coast. If the young Canadians of today-there are more than three and a half millions under 21 years oi age-—are to hava a warm love o1 quuntry they will not learn it from expressionless patriotism oi their elders. A more active dem- onstrntion of patriotic feeling in Canada would be all to the good. With our privileges, our past his- tory, and our prospect for a great national future. wc have as much reason for it as any other country in the world."

They frequently do: They hear it, and they read it in the newspapers of an adjoining country, especially in the early days of July, when the natal dates oi the two nations are celebrated within three days of each other. 0 ur fathers read and heard that swelling vaunt down to sixty- flve years ago. when there were still four million slaves, who were bought and sold like chattels in the land south of our border whence the loud boast of Liberty still comes pealing forth from "the land of the free and the home of the brave." The situ- ation has its amusing features oi which the boosters are quite uncon- scious—it is to laugh," as our French compatriots say-but every Canad- ian knows thht there is no land be- tween the Rio Grande and Arctic Ocean in which the liberty oi the citizen is so greatly restricted as is under the Stars and Stripes. King George is recovering from his long and alarming illness. That he has not yet fully recovered is apparent. His loving subjects in many lands whose hearts were sad- dened by his sickness and suffering have joined in a sincere thanksgiv- ing so widespread that it was be- yond all precedent, and in its volume oi affectionate regard perhaps sur- passed any like tribute to monarch or man. God Save our gracious King. Kings and emperors are fewer in numbe now than they were in ages past, but we can hardly imagine a time in the future when there shall be no more kings or kingdoms on the earth. The universe itself is one vast Kingdom,‘under the Great Kin! of Kings. History tells of kings throughout past ages; prophefiy fore" sees them in all the ages that are to come. Tradition, literature, poet- ry and art combine their forces to exalt the principle oi sovereignty. A king is something more than a President. A back-to-thc-farm movement was widely advocated some years ago, and. many of the wise editors who know more about farming than far- mers do, warmly endorsed it. The net rasult of the movement seems to have been that more farmers have turned their backs to the farm than ever before. The growth of factory industries with the lure oi the week- ly or fortnightly payday, called many young people away from the farm. The learned pAOICSSIOII-S and various callings other than learned, attract- ed others. Everybody seems to want “‘a. white-collar job" these days. Everywhere in America cities grow at the expense of the farming districts. It is better that our young people should remove to the cities near their homes than that they should go away to a foreign land as they will do if they cannot nnd em- ployment to their liking in Canada. cities will not grow and thrive on comma uInI k iness alone. must have factories, and factories give an impetus to merchandising and trade.

WHAT RADIUM IIAS DONE WITII CANCER As you read daily about the terrible ravages of cancer with its tremend- ous toll of useful men and women. you arc only too pleased to read of the large sums of money that are being bequeathed to the search for the cause of cancer. Meanwhile the attempt to prevent cancer goes on apace, and all types of irritating sores on surfaces are given most careful treatment. For cancer itself there has been the knife, and the x ray treatment. with some use of radium. In‘l92i St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, began the radium treatment in a systematic manner, and the dircctonof the surgical unit there gives a record of the results obtained. It must be admitted that these re- sults were at first discouraging. Oi four patients treated M1921, one was alive; of five treated in 1922. one; of four treated in 1923, two; and of four treated in 1924 all are dead. In i924 it was decided that radium should be more widely distributed, and needles containing radium wore put around the growth like a bar- rage. show results and in 192'! of thirteen patients treated ten were alive. Of thirty nine treated in 192B, all are alive. / The director was able to show forty nine cases, each with a drawing ci the condition at the beginning of the treatment and now apparently cured, “Tumors ahrlvelied, ulcers healed. and glands cleared up." You will agree that this is a won- derful record and shows the valuc of Persistence with this wonderful sub- stance radium, The thought then is that if the cause oi cancer. is not at present kmiwll. we should continue to do two things; give money for research men to continue their efforts m and the cause, and also subscribe money so that the hospitals will be equipped with radium to use on cases who cannotaflord to pay for 1t them. selves. The British izovernment has agreed to put up half the money to buy one Million Dollars worth of radium 11 municipalities will put up half tho amount. The above report (or this we“ known hospital is worthy of thought.

Wm be heard of the exploits of those early days, and the name oi the poet Earl of Stirling and Viscount Can- ada will be honored in Nova Scotia and throughout the Domlnliln- William Alexander (1567-1640) was the scion of a. family of ancient line- age, being descended from Somer- led, Lord of the Isles, in the rel!“ of Malcolm IV. through a. misty Highland genealogy to John, Lord oi the Isles, who married the Prin- cess Margaret, v_ daughter of King Robert II. Their third son, Alexander was the father of Angus, who found- ed the family of MacAlister of Loup, and of Alexander, who obtained (from the Argyle family a grant of the lands of Menstrie in Clack- mananshire and settled there-his descendants assuming his Christian name of Alexander as their surname. The fifth in descent from this per- sonage was Alexander Alexander, whose successor was his son, William Alexander, the poet. The poet and oourtier was destined to be the coloniser of Nova Scotia and founder of its new order of Baronets. He was educated at the Grammar School oi Stirling and the University of Leyden (Holland). He became the travelling companion of Archibald seventh Earl of Argyle, in France, Spain, and Italy. From this same Earl of Argyle he subsequently received the entire lands and barony of Menstrie. When the Court of King James VI was in residence at Stirling Cas- tle. Argyle introduced Alexander there and he became tutortoPrlnce Henry. At this time one oi Alexan- der's most intimate friends was Al- exder Hume (1560-1609) the poet- pastor of the ecclesiastical parish of Logic, and author of “The Day E's- tivall" or "A Summer's Day,” a poem included in every anthology of note and described by no less a critic than the famous R. L. Stevenson as "that gem of a poem." The parish in those days was quiet and completely rural. ‘The people were primitive in their simplicity and few outside events obtruded themselves upon their thoughts, unless it were the movements of the Royal Court, when Stirling Castle was made its head- quarters and some of the courtiers rode afield or the King went a-hawk- ing in the neighborhood of Menstrie. Hume took great delight in music and played his “Jolie lute" amid the quiet surroundings of his Manse. It was probably at St. Andrew's Unl- versity that Hume cultivated his musical tastes, for music was not al- together frowned upon, as some sup- ‘ pose, at this period in Scotland. At St. Andrew's, among the students of the period was a man who‘ had been trained up among the monks in the Abbey. l-le it was who taught his fellow- ‘ 1mi- the w ‘ plain build caliit quhilk he hes of myne." Besides Alexander Hume. Balfour oi Powis, an ancestor of R. L. Stevenson, was a. -clcse friend. of William Alexander. Another friend was James Kidston of Craigton, the lands of which lie to the cast oi the Abbey Craig on which the Wallace Monument stands. This family pro- duced at least one statesman in the person of the Rt. Hon. Andrew Bon- ar Law, whose mother was Eliza. daughter of William Kidstou. of Bonar Law's ancestors rest in the sylvan graveyard of Logic beneath the green Ochil hills with their ever changing lights and shadows. It was only natural that William Alexander should look for secular advancement to the Royal Court at Stirling. On his appointment as tut- or to Prince Henry, son of James VI. he soon succeeded in establishing himself a favorite with the pedantic monarch, on account of his scholar- ship and poetic gifts. In 1603 at theUnion of the English and Scots crowns, he accompanied his sover- elgn to the court of St. James where he was enrolled as one of the thirty- two gentlemen — extraordinary oi 1609 he became a Knight; Secretary oi State for Scotland in 1626; was the coloniser of Nova Scotla, with its new order of Baronets, and finally he was raised to the Peerage by Charles I. in 1630 as Lord Alexander of Tui- libody, and in 1633 as Earl of Stir- ling and Viscount Canada. One of the ambitions of King James VI was to produce a new ver- sion of the metrical psalms, and Sir William Alexander (as he then was) is credited with the principal part of the work. The story is hand- ed down that onc day when the King and Alexander had been busy a long time with the psalms, and doubtless weary, the King remarked. "Men- strie, we left oil‘ at Psalm twenty- tivo; the next‘s a teuch ane, but fine and short; let's hue a try at it," and of course Alexander had to obey. Vigorous efforts were made by Char- les I to get the new version oi the psalms adopted, but the Presbyteri- ans would have none of it. A Cour- tier, they said, was not well suited as a translator of hrlv writ, and they maintained that the new version contained doubtful doctrine and cer- tain ‘objectionable phrases. Ancient Manor Preserved To this day in the quaint red-tiled village of Menstric, which nestles snugly at the foot of the Ochils in the eastmostncuk of the ecclesiastic- al Parish of Logic, m»: mllgg {mm the historic town of Stirling, there still stands the old manor house of the Alexanders. Although somewhat dilapidated it ‘yet presents many marked features which distinguish. ed it as the residence of this family which flourished there in the six- teenth and the beginning of the soy. enteenth centuries. With its baron- ial turret, winding stairs, carved Continued bn page 5 song, and treble of the Psalms. There were musical performances given in the college. Some students played on the virginals, other on the lute and githorn. The Regent himself had a spinet in his room. to which he sometimes resorted. It was the Church that had fostered this pleas- ing art; and the daily Cathedral service, the solemn chanting of the monks in their conventual buildings, and the way in which the Roman ritual had so beautifully blended music with almost every act of re- ligious worship, diffused a love of it among the people. Young William Alexander borrow- ed books and musical instruments from his friend Hume, and found oitimes spiritual refreshment in the Manse for the more worthy aspira- tions of his soul. When Hume died in i609, Aiexande was onc of the executors of his will, and a. book that the one poet had borrow from the other and failed to return, is dealt with in the will thus: "1tem, I lave to the rycht honora- THE LAND WE LOVE a! nan nlua WIRELESS TELEPBONING I-‘BQM A MOVING TRAIN , Q.
