JIIMIS' EHHHEH ln St. James Church last night, Rev. Dr. McKinnon, Principal of Pine Hill College, I-lalifax, N. S., occupied ilic pulpit in the absence of the pastor. Rev. Dr. Fullerton, who is at present on the mainland. Dr. McKinnon preached a very thoughtful sermon appropriate in the present troublous times. He took his text from thc Gos- pel of St. Matthew 16, 3, "Can ye not discern the signs of the times?" lie asked thc question: What was the enemy Christianity had to fight against to-day, and he gave the ans- wer, brief but. unquestionable, Mater- ialism. in every age, he said, the Church had had enemies of various descriptions, and he referred to the Roman Iilinpcror, Jnlicn, oi' the 4th Century, as an example. This inun had attempted thc all impossible task of' erecting again thc pagan deities oi' antiquity. llc imagined that by re- stricting Cliristians from teaching rhetoric hc would brand them as un- learncd and ignorant men, devoid of culture, with nothing to appeal to the sensitiveness of mankind. I-le fan- cied that somehow a strange sort of heaven would be pleased when he drenched thc altars of his country with thc blood of victim after victim. As the years passed, however, there came into his heart the sense of fail- ure and hc began to feel that his peo- ple looked upon his religion with dis- favor and that behind his back they winked to one another. In the end, convinced of his colossal mistake, he threw a handful of blood heavenward and shouted: “Oh, pale Galillean, thou hast conqucred!” Every contest, con- tinued the preacher, in which the ex- istence oi' Christianity was at stake would end with that cry. What is the enemy oi’ the present time? (he ask- ed). it is not Paganism; the enemy of the age is Materialism, by which is noi. meant that philosophic doctrine that says there is nothing but carbon and oxygen and nitrogen. That alone is not the enemy of the age, although that included. But by Materialism is meant the spirit that sees nothing be- yond this world. That is the real enemy of Christianity. The prcacher,, then went on to state that although science and culture were claimed to bc associated with Mntcrlnlism they were really instruments of civiliza- tion. Thcy had made the air carry mcn’s thoughts and the speedy loco- motivc rclcgatc the painful coach. There had been voices in the t'hris- 'iiun Church opposing sclcncc_and cul- ture when science and culture were on thc side of civilization. We must not let lvlcteriulisrn take science and culture as its weapons. They belong t.o us ns children of God. The preach- er then went on to deal with the way in which materialists were to be spir- itualised, not by force or reason, for` they would not listen to reason. Ilnt Christians, without cant, or hypocrisy, or sectarianism, must live a life of love and sweetness in Jesus Christ. ami live it patiently. In that life, tri- umphantly lived, there would be an argument that would overcome all obstacles. The preacher concluded by saying that there was one practical duty incumbant on them all, if they believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ and were anxious to overthrow the Materlallstic spirit, and that duty was to support the Gospel.

One side gains a little at one point only to lose advance at another. it appears from official reports is- sued from German and French head- quarters, that Germans, finding it im- possible to advance along the coast towards Dunkirk, owing to the fire to which they were subjected from Brit- ish ami French warships, took a route a little further inland, and have suc- ceeded in crossing the Yser Canal, which the Belgians have been defend- ing stubbornly for a week past. To the west of Dixmude they have also made progress to the north-west of Ypres, and are still in possession of Roulers, towards which the Allies were advancing last week, and at ons time were reported to have captured. Germany claims to have taken five hundred British troops in th_e fighting in this neighborhood. Of the gains claimed by Germans the French re- port makes no mention, dismissing the battle with the sentence: “There is no change to report between the sea and the region around Arras." To add to the trials of the troops engaged in the desperate fighting a short spell of fine weather has given place to another downpour of rain, which will convert the Lowlands of Flanders into great lakes. Of the battles on the centre and left wing the German report does not say much but the French declare they are maintaining their positions in Ar- gonne and on the heights of the Meuse and have destroyed three more Ger- man batteries. From unofilcial sources it is learn- ed the French have made some ad- vance in the mountains along the Al- sace border. In Poland a very heavy battle is now in process between the fortrcsses oi' ivangorotl and Radom, where the Germans and Austrians, who were de- feated in their first attempt to cross the Vistula before the former city, have made a stand against the Rus- sians who have followed in the hope of destroying them. Both sides, ac- cording to their own reports, progress- _ed and captured guns, but the battle which extends over a front of twenty miles has not yet been decided. PARIS, Oct. 25.-The destruction of three German batteries on the height of the Mouse was otllcially announced to-day at 2.35. The an- nouncement states that elsewhere along the front the situation is un- changed The followlng official communication was issued by the French War Office to-night:-" Action continued under tho same conditions as on the pro- ceding days. A battle of very violent character is in progress between Nleu- port and River Lys. Gorman forces have succeeded ln crossing the Yser, between`Nieuport and Dixmude. To the west and south of Lille spirited attacks by enemy have been repulsed. Between Olse ami Argonne there is nothing to report, except several small advances by our troops to the north- west of Soissons and in the region of (lraonne. On the heights of the Meuse there is an artillery engage- ment. "In the Woevro region our heavy artillery holds under its fire the road connecting Thinusceourt, Honsard. Brussels, Jolnville, which is one of the main lines of communication of ‘Germans near St. Mihiel. it was re- ported yesterday that in the Argonne region an entire regiment of German infantry was annihilated during tho operation which was extended to the woods to north of Lachalade." Austrians are making a good effort to cross and are carrying on splendid fighting south of Przemysl. Recap- tured Montenegrlns admit that they withdrew from positions along the Bosnian front. Turkey, which it was believed threw in her lot with Germany, assures Great 'Britaln, France and Russia that she intends to maintain s policy of Neutrality. Turkey. however, con- inues her military activities, collecting transports and animals. which it is said are destined for the front. Strong Russian forces on the Turkish border influenced her not U take action sgrlnst.. the Allies. SLI-IUGHTER CONTINUES HHIIISH HIIMHIHHMIHI SIGHIILI IIIIEIIIII LONDON, Oct. 25.--The Admiralty to-day issued the following statement: “All oi' yesterday, monitors and other British vessels bombarding fleet fired on the German/right wing, which they searched thoroughly and effectively in consort with the operation of thc Bel- gian army. “All German attacks on Nlcuport were repulsed. "Much damage was donc to the enemy by the naval fire which cnfllad- ed the German lines and prisoners taken yesterday and day before testi- fy to the heavy losses the enemy has suffered from this cause. Fire also was opened in the afternoon on Ger- man batteries nenr Ostend. Admiral Hood has now a fine flotilla of vessels very suitable for this work, but nt the same time not of great value. During the day our ships were persistently attacked by the enemy’s submarines and torpedoes were fired without suc- cess at Wildfire and the destroyer _Myrmidon. Other British vessels again attacked the submarines. Naval aeroplanes and balloons aided in di- recting the fire. No loss was sustain- ed by the tiotllla yesterday."

Oct. 25.-Tile [oi- day bi' the French embassy: “ In the region of Sant(-rre we had certain partial successes, and also in the region' of Verdun and Pontamoussau. 1 “ In order to understand the results accomplished by Allies it is necessary to consider conditions as reported at the end of last mouth. where the left wing of our line was on the Oise. in the region of Compiegne, and' those portions which were disposed farther to west reached the Sommc in the vicininty ol' Amicus. To-day, however, our battle front stretches 200 kilo- metres to Belgium, reaching the ocean, where our left wing co-operates with English fleet."

LONDON, Oct. 24.-The Admiralty to-night issued a statement outlining the steps that are being taken to round up the eight or nine German cruisers at large in the Atlantic. Pacific and indian Oceans. 'l`hc statement says: “ Searching for these vessels and working in concert under various commandcrs-in-chief are upwards of seventy liritish, Australian, Japanese, French and Russian cruisers, not in- cluding auxlliary cruisers. Among these are a number oi’ thc fastest British cruisers. “ The vast expanses ol’ seas and oceans. and thc many tlious:nids'. of islands, offer almost infinite choice cf movement to the encmy's ships. in spite oi' every effort to Cut off thcir 0031 Sllplliy. it has hitherto been main- tained by onc mcans or another. ln the face ol' increasing dlfliculty the discovery and destruction of these few enemy cruisers, therefore, is largely a matter of time, patience and good luck. The public should have confidence that thc commanrlers-in chief and the experienced captains serving under them are doing all that is possible and taking the best steps to bring the enemy to action. “Our commanders so far have been occupied in very serious and impor- ant convoy duty, but this work has somewhat lessened, and the number of searching cruisers is being contin- unlly augmented. Meanwhile mer- chant ships must observe the Admir- alty instructions, which it is obvious- ly impossible to specify, and use all the precautions which have been suggest- ed. On routes where these instruc- tions have been foliowed they have so far proved very effective. On the other hand, where they have been disregarded, captures have been made. The same vastness of the sea which has so far enabled the German cruisers to avoid capture, will protect trade. BRITAIN ROUNDING-UP GERMIIN CRUISERS ' “The only alternative to the methods now adopted would lic the marshalling oi' mcrcllantmcn in regular convoys nt stated intervals. So far it has not been thought neces- say to hamper trade by enforcing such a system. "The pcrccnlngc of loss is much loss than was ri-ckoned on before the war. Out of four thousand British ships 4-ngzigeil in the foreign trade only tlility-ninc have been sunk by tin- enemy, or 'less than one per cent. in ull. llcsidcs seven vessels are now overdue in Atlantic waters. “The rate oi` insurance for cargoes which nt thc outbreak oi' the wal' was fixed nt live gnincus por cent. has now been reduced to two guineas per cent. “ llctween 8,000 and 9,000 foreign voyages have been undertaken to and from l'nitcd Kingdom ports, less than five per thousand of which have been interfered with; and of these losses a large number have been caused by merchant vessels taking everything lor granted and proceeding without precautions as il' there were no war. "fin thc other hand, German over- sea trade has practically ceased to exist. Nearly all their fast ships which could have been used' as auxiliary cruisers were promptly penned into neutral harbours, or have taken refuge in their uwn. Among the comparatively few German ships whicli have put to sea lllll have been cnpturetl, or ncarly four times the number of those lost by the very I21l‘l;0 Iirilii-lil lllfirttuntilt-_ |||nri|\e_ “ in these circumstances there is no occasion for anxiety ami no excuse i'or complaint. On the contrary, the more fully the facts concerning our oversee trade and its protection by the Royal Navy can be disclosed, and the more attentiveiy they are studied, the_greatcr will bc the confidence and satisfaction with which the situation can be viewed."
