were waking up and get ting out of the narrow Christianity that consisted in simply laying up heavenly real estate and hadnt to attend to the earthly What we want is to bring heaven down to men and install its blessing on earth The Kingdom of Christ must bo ushered in by christian citizenship bringing all classes up to a moral and religious standard Patriotism does not count any reward except the countrys honor it is general disinterested love in home and native land History is full of patriotism Spains deepest disgrace is not in her defeat at Manila but discord at home Brit ain is a fighting and dominant race and the story of British arms is one of matchless heroism and dauntless cour age Reference was made to various engagements the climax being the charge of COO against Rus sians Tho loyal love of home makes Great Britain the policeman of the Canada is the brightest gem in the crown of Queen Victoria What we want is a civic patriotism that will regenerate society stand for what is right with greater courage and turn out aldermen every where If christian citizenship means anything it means that the plague spots of the earth must be dried up The Carpenter is building

Ottawa The weakness of such on the Sabbath Observance and Temper ance legislation was ridiculed In the recent provincial elections with two- thirds of constituencies protested in the courts it shows that a clean election is the exception rather than the rule We must demand an honest canvass and clean methods He strongly advocated sex in citizenship The reflex influence of bad government is on the home We want the purest strain of influence known to humanity to cleanse municipal and political cor ruption and that is wo men There is too much indolence inertia and neglect in the church The man that does not vote on a moral question practically joins bands with the rascals We want to push chris tian principles into the politics of the day Since the deposit of Christs the that has cursed Cuba in past centuries is not to be com pared with misery that has cursed this land through the liquor traflic but ho was confident that the held every other year and that the local organizations bo

like introduction of the steam engine laughed and sneered at at first but now a mighty force Law is but crys- public opinion and simply a machino for the accomplishment of ic ing tho commandments and also their kindness He travelled miles on foot and miles by water in Chinese territory unmolested and lie saw no reason why the topic should not be accomplished Mr Robb of Toronto gave a suits but it

moral sentiment to carry along the track of progress to reach The adoption of the Scott Act by so many municipalities showed that public opinion was behind it but the wrong kind of men were at the lever and kept the machine from moving Our position is a long way in advance of anything attempted be fore Figures were given to show that liquor is being squeezed down In York County today there are less licenses than issued ten ago Parliament is controlled by the people and they must give what the people demand See what has been accomplished years Iheie were taverns on every crossroad liquor in
