Cartier himself wrote of the fav- ourable impression which the Island made upon him, and he described the coast as "low and mt. but the finest land one can see, and full of beautiful meadows and trees." The soil where there were no trees was “very rich" and covered “with pease, white and red gooseberry bushes, strawberries. raspberries and wild oats like rye, which one would say had been sown there and tilled. It is the best tempered region one can possibly see and the heat is consid- erable. There are many turtle-doves, wood-pigeons and other birds. Noth- ing is wanting but harbours."

The United Statea must realize that the war debts cannot be col- lected now. Whether they should be cancelled entirely is another ques- tion. But if we hope to be paid, we must wait until our debtors can pay us-without injuring lls. In other words. we mllst accept a long term moratorium on war debt payments.

It is said that the biggest asset a I physician- can - have in lreatlng mental ailments is a "profound knowledge of human nature," and a "good knowledge of general medi- cine." ‘

Dr. R. D.-Gillespic in the-Lancet says that the first point the phy- sician must study is "how a ps- tients mind can cause what looks like disease." Dr. Gillispis recogni- zes six typesof mental illnesss which can be helped by remember-

France having engineered a nine- months tariff truce with Great Brit- ain with the prospect oi extension, we may look for a similar agree- ment with Ireland. It is a thousand pities that Britain should be es- tranged ilom her nearest trade neighbour and relative by fiscal barriers.

The Liberal organ complains that none of the speakers at the East Prince Conservative meeting in Summersidc attempted to explain how the Bennett Government's Mar- ketlng Bill is going to help our farm- ers and fishermen.

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald ls ap- parently in poor health again. He has been under a strain of respon- sibility now for a very long time during a period of difficulty, and often of crisis. He has done work enough to break up half a. dozen ordinary men, and apparently he now needs a rest. Some time ago he had to take things easily on ac- count of his eyes. A three-month rest for him is now mooted with Mr. Baldwin officiating as head of the government. The latter, a far less temperamental man, seems to stand the strain better than the prime minister, although carrying heavy loads over long periods.

The difference, of course, is that in Germany and Italy, Hitler and Mussolini do the talking for their nations. In Britain and the United States, anybody can talk.

Nowadays in London and the larger cities religious and social ef- fork conducted by University stud- ents and graduates are called Set- tlements. In earlier days they were called Missions.

ings. Saturday afternoon Penny Savings Bank. Sunday School, (where it was necessary to keep order by muscular chrlstianity) and

a Sunday evening service. In those .

earlier days the churches held Sun- day morhing and Sunday afternoon

after the second service, leaving the evenings free for domatic en- gagements, family life, social re- unions or mission work.

One evening there entered the mission hall a respectably dressed lady of evident refinement, who, on being interviewed, told the follow- ing story.

She was the daughter of an Earl, went out to India as a missionary under the Church Missionaryllsccievty became impressed by the practical work of the Salvation Army, and transferred to that organization, re- ceiving the commission of lieuten- ant, There she met and fell in love with a young Scottish Salva- tion Army Captain; they were re- fused permission by General Booth to marl-y because of the difference of their social standing, (the Cap- tain having been but a baker's jour- neyman in civil life.) They were married without permission, were turned out of the Army, went to her people in the North of Eng- land, were disowned, and so went on to Aberdeen, where the husband returned to his trade, working all night six days a week for sixteen shillings a week. Thus his wife was left poverty-stricken, both day and night. in a strange city among strangers, and in a strata of society in which she had previously proved the Lady Bountiful.

My father subsequently met the husband, realized he was becoming hard and embittered, nursing a growing resentment against the Salvation Army in general and the General in particular. He decided the most satisfactory way to solve the problem was to get the young couple back info the Army, as they still had a "passion for souls." As a first step he induced his splnster sister to take them into her home. where she would prove s. chaperon and companion to the young wife; then he induced them to get re- connected with the local branch of the Salvation Army as soldiers; and next started pulling wires to have them forgiven and re-instated as officers-but without success-the General being adamant against the slackening of the observance of of- flcers‘ marriage regulations.

In 1888 General Booth visited Aberdeen for a three day's cam- paign, and on his staff was Cap- tain Lamb. with whom my father had been previously acquainted. He appealed to him to use his influ- ence with the General to grant the unhappy pair an interview. An ap- pointment was made by the Genera] for the close of a big demonstration in the Music Hall. I, a mere boy, was deputed by my father to ac- company the penitcnt appellants to the fateful appointment. They were ushered into (to iheml) the Awful Presence. To me outside the infer- vlqw seemed interminable, but at last Captain Lamb came out all smiles, and whispered-Nit is all right, buwbanlshed to Canada!"
