What the Church is Not-
The church is nota house of mer-
chandise, a bureau of amusement, or a
social club. None of these things are
nominated in her joint high commissior,
and her franchise does mt contemplate
in leadership the executive ability of a
railroad president for administration.
Individually, her members may earn
money in any honest way, but corpor-4
ately they have nothing to do with
money but to receive free~will offerings
as an act of worship, and transmit them
to the proper objects. We are plainly

fore The House-Whip
Sutherland Declares This
Proceeding is Decidedly
Farcical. -
the House yesterday Premier Laurier
replied to' Sir Charles Tupper in the
debate on 'the address, speaking to a_
crowded House and galleries.
He charged that the opposition lead;
er had. iu his tive hours’ speech given
more adjectives than ideas and more
scolding than anythi.-.g else.
Referring to the plebiscite he said tho
pledge had been made by the Liberal
party in convention that a plebiscite
should be taken, and a plebiscite had
been taken.
Theresult wasthat only 23 percent of
of people had pronounced in favor of
prohibition, and as the leader of the
Liberal ,party and with, a full sense, of ¢
he had no hesitation in saying that there
was never_ any intention of adopting
prohibition unless a majority of the
electorate pronounced in favor of it. -
With reference to the fast Atlantic
service he admitted that the government
had as yet dons inns but he 'hoped
their efforts would yet bear fruit.
He took up the Washington Com-
mission and defended the commission
from the charges made against it of
taking a very long time to do very little.
Hon. Mr. Foster replied, dealing
especially with the government’s trade
policy, charging that the public ac-
counts were ccoked to conceal the real
financial position. He argued- that
boasted tariff reductions only amounted
in the aggregate to a fraction of one
per cent. _
Sir Richard Cartwright moved the
a.djournment'of the debate and is re-
plying to Mr. Foster today.
Orrawa. March 22.-(Special)-
The legislative committee of the Dom-
inion Alliance met this morning.
F. S. Spence introduced a resolution
that parliament should pass a prohibi- ,
tory law.
McClure (Lib) moved an amend-
ment that as the prohibition vote was
such that parliament could not ignore
it, and as the government had declined
to act.a committee of seven be appoint-

HIDNIGHI ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
The ordinary almanac gave for D . .
13 ap titical eclipse of the sun, invisigfe
at Greenwich. And indeed the ex-
pression as to its invisibility might
have been put much stronger, for it
was to be seen in no inhabited region
of the earth. An anarctic expedition
might possibly have sailed within its
sphere of influence. but as it was .it
passed unwatched by human eyes. __ _
This being so, and the eclipse one that;
about it, and as if it might be passed
without comment But, unseen as ii
was, the eclipse was by no means devoid
of interest.First ot all, it offers us-an
example of what seems a paradoxs an
eclipse of the sun taking glanse at lociil
midnight. It is, moreover, the first of
three eclipses falling with in a period
no longer than a single calender month.
Dec. 27 will bring a total eclipse of the
intoi at Greenwich, Jan. 11 a partial
eclipse ofthe sun. And the three are
intimately connected with each otheif.
The latter in nearly all its character-
isties stands in strong contrast to the
eclipse of Dec. 13-a large 'partial
eclipse which will be seen just outside
the borders of the arctic- regions, at
their midday and l in their midwinter_
_Nor 'is this sequence ` accidental. ' A
similar triplet of eclipses-the first
partial of the sun and seen near the
south pole. the second total ofthe moon,
the third pirtial of the sun and visible
near the north pole-occurred just
eighteen years ago, all three eclipses
falling in December, 1880. Going back
yet anuthereighteen years we lind the
same thing repeated some ten days
earlier in the year. and so on, right
away backward till 1664, when, while
the southern eclipse was a largepartial
one and fell nearly in theinidwinter of
the southern hemisphere, the northern
was a mere graze taking place at the
midnight of the regions from which it
was' visible. Looking for Ward we' find
in like manner tk at eighteen years hence
another similar triplet of eclipses' will
fall at the turn of the year, and yet
another eighteen years later still. This
ends the series oftht-se midnight eclipses
of the sun in the south polar regions,
for January, 1953. will ti ». marked only
by a total eclipse of the mimi.-London
