old_ story of the wish being farther to the
thought. If there eve_r was a government
in Canada of which it could _be said un-
qualifiedly that it succeeded_in all that it
undertook, that government is the present
Union Government led by Sir Robert Bor-
den. Under it and by it things have been
accomplished that would have been ab-
solutely impossible under a _one party gQV'
ernment.lt requires no special perspicacity
to see this. It should not be difficult for
Canadians especially to recognize the
greatness of what _the Canadian Govern-
ment has done during the past four years
and with even more marked success since
the formation of the Union Government.
Our Allies have seen and acknowledged
it; the United States government has sent
its ministers and its commissioners to
Canada to study Canada’s methods
in the carrying _on of Certain 210-
tivities in connection _with the war.
The United States press is continuously
pointing out to its people _“how Canada
does it.” Only the few derelicts who were
left stranded on the_politi_cal rocks after
all that was best in L1berali_sm_had left the
party and gone over to Unionism, can see
failure in the Union Government and that
failure, properly interpreted, means ‘that
they themselves were left on the rocks.
In a recent issue the Boston _Monitor,
under the caption “Canada’s Union Gov-
ernment” said:
“When-Sir Robert Borden, just about a
year ago, finally adhieved the object he
had been striving for, often against the
advice of his friends, namely a Union Gov-
ernment, it was quite clear, to those' who
in any measure grasped Sir Robert s pur-
pose, that something much more had _been
achieved than a mere political coalition.
Sir Robert had, indeed, been striving for
many months to bring about coalition. He
had made the most generous offers t_o
those who opposed him. He had shown his
complete disinterestedness _by offering to
step down from the premiership, if an-
ther could be found to take that office who
would command the allegiance of all par-
ties. He was, however, met at every turn
by an unyielding refusal, and so he set up
his standard of a Union _Governmen_t,
founded upon the simple thesis that at this
hour in history, party should be forgotten
and Canadians should see_ only Canada as
a part of the British Empire engaged in a
great struggle for humanity. _All that was
best in Canada rallied to this standard,
and whenthe Union Government appealed
to the country last December, Canada, by
a great majority, approved the platform
on which that government was founded.
"‘Now every country, according to th_e
well-known dictum, has thc government it
deserves. In other words, the government
is an expression of the people, and never
was this more clearly seen than in the case
of Canada at the present time.”
After cQmmenting__upon a number of
things done by the Union Government the
Monitor concludes: ' _ _ `
“Altogether the record is a great one,
and the allied cause is under a debt to
Canada, 'not only for her achievement, but
for her examp1e.” _
INDUSTRI A L ACIIIEVEM ENT
The magnitude of Canada’s industrial
activities, as cited by the latest available
figures, continues to be a warrant for con-
fidence as to th_`e future. True, production,
has been abnormally favored by _assured
markets and removal 'of competition and
of cost considerations, but, on the other
hand, it has been abnormally restricted by
the absence of hundreds of thousands of
men from industry _and by difiioiilties as to
raw materials. -
. The slackening in munitions orders and
output has _been compensate_d_by a great
increase in shi building activity, at first
on Imperial M nitions Briayd and ~Npre
wegian orders, 'and lattei'ly.~for Canadian
the light of such prosperity.
TRIBUTE T0 CANADIANS
Boasting is certainly not a Canadian
characteristic. Andyet “we have whereof
to glory,” if we were so inclined. Our Can-
adian troops have won imperishable glory
in the past four eventful years, glory that
will cast no shadow on the record written
by their ancestors in golden letters across
a thousand years of history. Our generals
tell with modest dignity in brief official
reports what they have done; they leave it
to others to make comments and the com-
ments make proud reading for Canadians.
'Recently Mr. Charles H. Grasty, the able
military correspondent of the New York
Times paid the Canadians the following
notable tribute. _ ~_ ,
“Canadian exploits must. make every
_`\i0rth American heart- thrill. They are
North Americans with four years’ exper-
ience in war and nobody else quite plays
the game up to their glory. They can fight
as individuals or in organized units, afoot
or on horseback. They are as practical as
they are brave. Every man jack of them is
in the pink of condition. Troops who travel
alongside of them have their work cut out.
General Currie seems to carry light rail-
ways in his pocket and if the Canadians
have to stop anywhere for a day or two,
transportation facilities spring up behind
them as if by magic. The Germans will go
miles out of their way to avoid the
Canucks.” -
NOTES "
_The capture of Albert, the important
i‘ailway_centre, added to the taking of the
key-position of Lassigny, shows that the
tide of battle has definitely turned against
-he_ enemy.
Our soldiers are coming out of this ex-
perience with a new respect for law and
order. Perhaps in that fact lies a hope for
the future efficiency of civil government
in our cities.-Detroit News. --
An Englishman has been fined for lib-
clling a fellow countryman by calling him
fi German. The magistrate said it was the
worst slander that _could be- conceived,
Alas, how are the mighty fallen l-Quebec
Telegraph. _
N0 'fewer than 2,000,000 letters and
other suspected documents have been seiz-
ed in th_e United States mails. The scope of
the sedition-monger _is being restricted
greatly th_ese _<§iys,_which is satisfactory to
all but himse 1. Uncle Sam is keeping a
sharp eye on his doubtful citizens.
Disillusion is declared to be sweeping ov-
er Germany. With the way things are
going at the front it would be astonishing
were the feeling otherwise.The war is pro-_
gressing to the German’s disadvantage at
last, and from now on the bitter truth will
be brought home to them more strongly
every day. Germany is on the defensive for
good and all. _
Each recurrent anniversarypf the open-
ing of the war throws into clearer relief
Germany and Austria’s guilt. It is now
known (what was only suspected in July,
1914) that the Kaiser and the' late Arch-
duke Francis Ferdinand planned -at Mir-
amar aiid Konopischt, the 1-~eacherous at-
tack on Serbia, which Was subsequently
carried out with such violence, and perfidy.
Prince Lichnowsky has told us that Ber-
lin 'insisted “Siberia must be massacred.”
Dr. Muhlon has revealed the whole Pots-
dam plot. The free nations can never -be
safe solong as the men who engineered
this war are inpdwer and held in honor by
Government and private account. There is_

true. There is no saving merit in be-
ing a soldier any more than there is ln
being a preacher. It is_not ii matter'
of what men are doing outwardly.
but what we are inwardly; its a matter *
of the soars relationship to ood. A`ii
\vho turn from their sins and accept of

_SELF DECEPTION-"A phllosopli
er" wants to know whether it-person
may be very bad and persuade. hiin~
self that he 'is good? Yes, it is very
possible. l’eople`do succeed in de-
ceiving themselves and the deception
may be so perfect they do not know
they are deceived. No honest man
can have that experience, but when,
one tampers with sin and confesses to
ho ii christian, ho is taking ii lesson
in selfdeceplion which ho will soon
master. Read Matthew 7:21:-23, this `
:tnswers your question -ln full.
