BERLIN, Dec. 13.-The occupation
by German forces, which were advanc-
ing on Warsaw from the North, of
Przssnye, recently reported unoiilcial-
ly, is said' definitely by tile official
Press Bureau to have been accomplish-
ed. This is the most important factor
in the latest developments from the
Eastern theatre of war and while ill
itself not important shows the Ger-
mans have begun active olfensive
operations North of the Vistuln in thc
direct line of communication between
Willenberg, East Prussia, and Warsaw,
This shows that the advance is di-
rected against the fortified line along
the narrow river. If this line were
broken the Germans would be in the
rear of Warsaw which would exercise
a deciding influence on the Polish cam-
Diligll. News from South Poland and
Galicia makes it clear tllat notwith- C0mli1Bl0ly d€SlI‘0y6¢l by lim. OTIEIH Of
standing certain success is achieved
by Germans and Austrians. severe re-
sistance is-belllg encountered every.
where. Evidently the Austrian forces
in the Carpathians are too small to
clear the Hungarian territory of the
enemy alone and nlust attack and re-
pulse one column after another. The
Austrians report 10.000 Russians cap-
tured but fall to say witlllll what per-
lod, making the report meaningless.
Operations in Servia are also meeting
dogged resistance but are proceeding
South of Belgrade.
I The loss of the cruiser squadron off
the Falkland Islands is regretted but
is hardly a surprise since it was not
expected the ships would escape from
their pursuers.

As tho result oi' representations
lnalle by the Cllarlottetowll Board of

Presitlcllt, and Mr. J. l’. Gordoll. welll
to i\iont-ton on Saturday to press the
nluttcl' on Mr. Gutolius, General Mall-
ztgcr. As Mr. Gordon llatl io proceed
to Montreal, hc had little tillle to dis-
cuss tlle mutter, bllt Judge Stewart
had a fairly long interview with Mr.
Gutelius, who was ucconlpanieti by
Mr. Hayes and Mr. Melanson.
Tile Judge pointed out that tile Sat-
urday excursion was greatly' appreciat-
ed by the country people who come to
town to do their week-end shopping,
and its witlldrawlll was likely to ati-
versely affect the interests of both the
farmers and the merchants. lt was
further explained tlult since thc nboli-
tion of those Saturday returns there
had been et falling oil` of about fifty
per cout. ill the ilrsl.-class tickets is-
sued at curtain country stations.
In reply Mr. Gutelius stated that tile
total receipts i'or passenger tickets
did not hour this out, the mollth of
November showing all increase of $700
in pas:-lellger traillc over thc corres-
ponding lllolltll of last year, when the
Saturday excursions were ill vogue.
He also explained that nowhere else

u privilege unkllown elsewhere. The
second-class return was equivalellt to
the single first-class fare, so that if
farmers desired to travel on tho week-
end, there was nothing to hinder them
taking advantage of the second-class
return tickets.
, Judge Stewart rejoined by pointing
out that it was mostly ladies wil:
wont to town for shoppinil. and al-
though ilc admitted the island was
better oiT in respect to second»class
returns than other sections of the ln-
tercolonial, yet it was not customary
|or always pleasant for ladies to take
advantage of that concession. He
pleaded that it would be a hardship to
lady-shoppers and a loss to merchants
were the Saturday excursion fares not
restored.
After further discussion. in which
Mr. Hayes especially showed every de-
sire to meet the wishes of the Island.
Mr. Gutelius collceded the petition of
the Board of Trade, and promised that
Mr. Melansoll would visit the island
Ion Monday (to-day) to make the ne-
‘cesszlry arrangements.
Judge Stewart next asked tllat the
Murray Harbour summer train ar-
rangements sllould be continued
throughout the year, but Mr. Gutelius
could not see ills way to give his con-
sent, although he agreed to a conti-
nuance of the Christnlas-week ar-
rangements which have been found so
advantageous in past years.
fail to appeal to the better alld nobler
judgment of his hcarcrs. His subject
was “The Pleasures of Sin," and he
based his remarks on two texts, first
the Book of Proverbs. 16. and the 11tll
Chapter of Paul's Epistle to the He-
brews, 24 and 25,-“There is a way
that seemeth right unto u nlan but the
end thereof are the ways of death."
and "Choosing rather to suffer aiiiic-
tion with tlle people of God than to en-
joy the pleasures of sill for a season.”
Il was almost forced on them, he
said, when they used such a phrase
as “the pleasures of sin," could there
be any pleasure in sin? And at once
they had to reply, if there were no
pleasure in sill there would be no sill-
ners. No msn would go out of his
way, would go aside from the path of
holiness, if hc did not expect to find
pleasure in ills transgression. Men
wllo went into sill invariably were
seeking solnetlllllg they imagined to
be better than what they experienced.
were seeking that which was pleasant.
“Tho tragedy of life," said Mr. Taylor,
“is ill this, that left to our own choice
between good and evil, good .scclns to
bc difficult and cvil seems to bc easy;
good seems at times to bc unpleasant.
in iilr nttainmont of it und cvil seems
so cosy nlltl so pleasant. Alld so men
turn usirlc after the evil. believing ill
tlleir own hearts that they arc doing
sonlotllillg for tllclr own proili, bu-
llevlllg that all ullnlollitious and tul-
viccs ure only applicable to other
'cases and not to theirs. So i`ar they
have found the way of evil to be plea-
sant and will not admit tllat this is
sill. They say it is a pleasant way of
spending life and almost pity thc mon
wllo walks in austere righteousness.
There is anotller side to it. This path
they are walking ill seems not only to
afford pleasure; but they tell you that
all this talk about the slnfulness of
pleasure is a great mistake-that mell
were born to be happy alld anything
that interferes with their happiness
is sinful; tllat tho only thing that will
make a man really that which Ile was
intended to bo is that which ministers
to his pleasure. But what about the
end? Have you ever considered what
it will amount to when tile bill is hand-
ed in? linve _vou ever thought that
you are paying too heavy a price for
the pleasure that sin promises? Sin
goes along assuring us that there is
no possible harm coming, that no
doubt here and there fools have gone
down and sold themselves to the plea-
sure tllat lasted for ll moment; 'but
we are not such fools.' Sin says to us;
‘we are wise men, and what is more.
ii you illld that the bargain is not a
good one you are at liberty to turn
again. You are master of your own
soul.' That is what Sin says to us.
You remember how it was with Sam-
son. going down to the Phlllistlnes to
" have a good time." as the young
men would say. He was confident of
his strength: hewas safe enough and
could go when he liked and stay
where he liked. lie went and came
until one day the Phlllistines laid
hands on him, and the next thing we
ace is the great giant with his eyes
put out and those who but a short
while before were at his mercy mak-
ing sport of him. lt does not matter
how strong we are in will, or how
far-seeing we are. pleasure can break
that will and enthrall lt. lt is hard to
ot army contracts.

strong moral lesson which could not [exist if it calne out in its own form
and bald dimensions; it simply has to
wrap itself in what appears to be, as
it were. the drapery of God. Beneath
its outer finery we have a skeleton
and all that is loathsome. Evil not
only has to pay a tribute to God in
seeking to be Godlike, but it pays this
mucil of tribute to mankind. that it ad-
mits there is that nluch of good in man
that he will not go to evil without be-
ing tempted. The men who are hurled
to their doom are after all men wlio
were seeking the right but nad not
taken tile precaution. in their own
weakness, to commit their way unto
God. In their own way they had
made their choice and found, to their
bitter sorrow, that "there is a way
that seemeth right unto a man but the
elld thereof are the ways of death."
There is this of pathos in it. that it is
so hard to detect the evif when it
comes to us in the form of good. Sin
has always been ablo to hold its place
in the market, because it does honour
its promises; we have its cheque al-
ways cashed in full. as it were. Ye
shall llc as gods, knowing good from
cvil. But what did that barren know-
ledge amount to? There is Judas
reaching out for the thirty pieces of
silver. Ho gets them; they were pro-
l
lnlisctl him. Anil all he could buy was
a tragic grave. Those who allow sin
to lead them say. there is no obliga-
tion in the sinner: there are no com-
mandments to observe, no one to
speak a word 0f_.authority, no one to
say “thou shalt not.” it is not the
magnitude of sin that couns; it is not
the smallness or blgness of sin that
matters. but it is the direction in which
that sin leads us. Does it matter whe-
ther we go headlong to ruin or slip
gradually over the precipice? Sin.
whether it be big or infinitesimal has
tho inevitable tendency to sever your
connectloll with heaven. There is one
thing necessary to get away from sin
and its consequences, and it is to slt
down and seriously count the cost.
Distinguish between the sham and the
reality. and then see bow much sin
has to give when it comes down to
that which is substantial and lasting.
