l The Lift up your eyes on highâ€"Isaiah xi., 26. I t In days when men are, looking in- to earthly things with eager and penetrating vision, those words come to us With schial force and meaning. The man who always looks down cannot aspire. There is a purposc‘ in our noble aspirations. The un- a'ttained beckons us onward. To look up means to lift up. “ ’Tis not what man does which cxalts him,” says Browning, “but what man would do.” Our standard will rise higher and higher as we‘ go from strength to strength. Our lo‘ngings fortell our destiny. We must look down at timesto get a clear idea of life’s details, but if we wish to see their proper relation to the great issues of life WE MUST LOOK UP. If we simply look at our feet, .how limited becomes our vision! By lifting up our eyes on high, we see the vast arch that spans the heaâ€" vens. It is then we see with Emer- son “what majestic beauties daily wrap us in their bosom,” or with Ruskin study “The mystery of dis- tant momnltain blue,” bear with Tennyson the sea waves break upon “The cold gray stones,” or stand entranced with Newton until the stars rise. Isaiah calls men to look at the stars because man's vision broadâ€" ens as it lengthens.

Here we find lllSI)ll‘-g ation for our noblest ciidGaVors.‘ This upward and outward vision will often explain the mystery .of trouble and the great perplexmcsl of life. It does nort require a large object to hide the wide landscape from our view if we stand close enough to it. To understand the things of toâ€"day we must get a right view of them. We see them best from above. Paul saw them from the proper perspective when he said: “All things work together for good to them that love God." How it ennobles our work when we realize that it is part of THE GREAT PLAN OF GOD! By bringing our lofticst visions to bear upon the practical things of life. we learn to do our best work and bring forth evidences of the divinity within us. Our work will not be merely for time, but for eternity. In that way we may be- come one of the “immortals.” The great Hebrew poet's sublime conception of man shall yet be rela- lized: “Thou hast- made him a lit- tle lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and hon- Thou made-st him to have doâ€" or. minion over the works of Thy hands.” By lifting up our eyes on high we shall better understand both man and God and learn to ap- pre-ciate more fully life here and life hereafter. REV. J. W. ROBERTS. United States in using the Lakes, even as far as Duluth, the western extremity of Lake Superior, as training grounds for her naval youth, should be followed. The farther you are from the salt water the less likely are you to apprenâ€" ate the importance of the oceans to the development of your national commerce. The greater is the need, therefore, of utilizing the lakes to show your people that the; carriage of ore and wheat in twelveâ€" thousand~ton boats. is not the whole; extent of your navigable interests: In front of the Parliament Build,1 ings in Toronto is a. gun taken in the Crimean War.

We cannot put such an . advertisement of modern Britisn naval history on the Lakes; because observant nations have been too wise to collide with Dreadnoughts. But we can find some means of reâ€" peating, on the Lakes, what has been done on the lawn in Queen 5‘ Park, and in other similar places. Where an outâ€"ofâ€"date gunboat might" be an irritant, some modern Arethusa might speedily provoke our naval emergence.

Mrs. A. Eagles, Dundas, Ont., sayszâ€"“I am writing this letter out of grati~ tude to let you know the great beâ€" nefit Dr. Williams' Pink l’ills have been to me. From the time I was a girl I suffered from weakness and fainting spellsâ€"was always doctorâ€" ing, but it did not help me. As I grew older I seemed to grow worse. My blood seemed literally turned to water. Sometimes I would faint as often as twice a day. I suffered from indigestion. I could not walk} upstairs without stopping to rest; on the way, and my heart would palpitate so violently as to produce a smothering sensation. I grew so weak that people thought I was in consumption. I was in this dreadâ€" ful condition when Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were brought to my at tention and I began taking them. The first sign of benefit I noticed was an improvement in my appetite. Then I began to grow stronger, the color began to return to my face; the fainting spells disappeared and gradually I was brought to a con- dition of more perfect health than I had ever enjoyed before.

In peace times, everything would depend on the good sense of all parties to the ar- rangementâ€"which is true of all poli- tical ententes. DISCIPLINE OF WARFARE. But, as in peace you prepare for war, must not your plans, from the beginning, be based on the assump- tion that, at any moment, the dis- cipline of warfare may become im- perative? Somebody must give orders and somebody must obey. What would Canada do then? How are you to avoid the danger that would rise from the virtual inde- pendence of the Canadian _navyl For does not independence mean possible neutrality, and, therefore, possible hostility?

We forsaw it. even when Lord Lans- downe was declining colonial aid. happen. even whcn Sir Wilfrid Laurier was back- that there was not Parliamentary provision for participating in a quarrel seven thousand miles away. It must not be supposed. though, that Canada beforehand, will uii- rescrvedly pledge herself to fight for Britain. The partnership idea has not yet reached that point of sacrificing every principle on which her na- tional development thus far has been founded. If there are Canaâ€" dian advocates of such a pledge they are in a lmpelcss minority. N0-V body would dream of Great Britain making a treaty with the United States in reference to Canada, with- out consulting Canada. Canada has no formal, constitutional locus in negotiations between Great Bri- tain and the United States. But, in practice. she is at Washington all the time: and we have lived to see the British Ambassador to the I'nited States paying a visit to Ottawa and addressing public audi- ences in Canadian cities. COLON IAL ATTITUDE. It is quite safe to leave open the question of whether a Canadian navy would have to fight in every, British quarrel, for (ht: doublel reason that the Foreign Minister and the Cabinet in London are Iniâ€" pcrial statesmen, and Canada is not, a. Crown colony. In dealing with forciin affairs generally, the Im- perial cabinet inevitably considers the probable attitude of the overâ€" seas dominions towards any im< pending crisis. Anything on such a matter it does not know. it can easily find out. for the telegraph practically places the council chain- (loininions next door to the Council Chambcr at Whitehall. The. question of agreement with, in any international quarrel, could never be governed by any hard and fast compulsion to fight in the Mother Country's cause. If the Mother Country could not win the sympathy of her kith and kin in her presumption that her quarrel was' not worth powder and shot. We arc aware that sometimes war has to be risked secretly. But the risk is not so great as it seems. for no Euroâ€" pean powers will risk a serious war on some matter about which public feeling has not been roused. Wars are not made any more in the back parlors of irresponsible autocrats. With the recent experience of southeastern Europe before us~an experience. which, fifty years ago, would have resulted in war first and discussion afterwardsâ€"we are quite willing to take our chances of agreeâ€" ment with the Mother Country without a formal contract being en tei‘ed into beforehand. And, as we should expect that the commanding officers would be selected because of their capacity to command, we should not be afraid to take our fighting instructions from such chiefs. When the time came it would be seen that the loyalty of the French~Canadian, of the Ameri- can, of the Galicianâ€"of all the one- time aliensâ€"would be' transfused into a loyalty to the Empire which is greater than us all. .; :1. -IL mutiâ€" . _.-â€"-.

This development does not change my viewsâ€"it only accentu- ate-s them. The chief naval neccs- sily for Canada. is still training schools for her youth: and the pro- vision of one, two or three battleâ€" ships would do inuch to stimulate the naval spirit of which I have written. But it should be expressly stipulated that any vessels so pro- vided by Canada would be lent to the Admiralty until our own crews are ready to man them. The. know- ledge that ships were. provided in this way would perhaps do more than anything else to achieve the creation of a Canadian navy. Toronto, March, 1909. 3?
