nur advantages and amenities there 75 much barbarism yet in our blood and thought and practice. Who is the barbarian? He is the man whose ideal and efforts do not, extend be- yond his own interests, and the bar- barian community whether that comâ€" munity be the party, state or nation, is that which is bound up in its own ambitions and affairs. The interest that ends with self whether that self be the individual or a larger aggre- gate is essentially barbarian. In the most primitive times the unit was the individual, but the in- dividual could not live to himself, he needed companionship and help; hence the next step was the family, but the family was not self-contained; it required to unite with other fam- ilies for the purpose of self protec- tion and mutual advantage generally. So the unit became the clan, but that also was too restricted and the tribe. was formed; then as interests and needs increased the unit grew into a nation; but with each association and- enlargement there came correspond- ing responsibilities. When Robinson Crusoe was alone on the island of Juan Fernandez he was a free man but when the man Friday appeared there appeared also not only advan- tages but corresponding duties. The great war, with all its agony and the horrible aftermath in which the World finds itself, was the result of this very thing, viz liberty and power without a sense of responsiâ€" bility. “I am, and there is none else." “World dominion! be the cost what it may,” and so millions of the bravest and best were slaughtered, and treas- ure was poured out with the result- ing' world chaos; because relation- But there is a sense in which the wntiment is neither commendable nor nasonable. If it means a callous disregard for the condition, welfare or happiness to others it is not civilâ€" ‘ized but barbarous.

Richmond Hill Arena Apply Harold Mills But it does not pay, selfishness never pays. Selfishness is suicide. No man, no class, no nation can fight for his or its own hand and win, the laws of life are against such philosâ€" ophy and practice, and the man or aggregation of men who shrugs his or its shoulders and proclaims the doctrine of “every man for himself and the devil take the hindermost” is inviting disaster. Society is not a sandheap of isolated particles as we very soon find out. Let but one per- son in a community violate, say, the laws of hygiene and the whole com- munity may be involved, and an act or policy in one remote corner of the world may have repercussions throughout the globe. So within the aggregate of individuals which we call a nation, the best effort of each person is needed and is needed for all, for no person can live for him- self. In any civilization, then, we have these two factorsâ€"the individual and the whole, and the problem is how to make the best of both With- out loss of liberty and initiative on the one hand, and for the securing of the greatest benefit 0n the other. Attempts too numerous to mention have been made to bring about a right social order. History is full of the record of schemes for a Utopia which have never been realized and which are not realizable. It seems as if the world cannot get away from individualism, but it must be a con- trolled individualism, and idealism and mutual sympathy must somehow be introduced into our scheme of things. H. G. Wells, Whose sympath- ies are Wide and deep, has said, “With people just as they are with their prejudices, ignorances, misap- prehensions, their unchecked vanities, greed and jealousies, their crude and misconducted instincts and their irrational traditions, no better state can exist than the one you have now.” The real improvement must be from within, Whatever impositions we have from without by means of laws or rules.

A.A.A. ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Amateur Athletic Associa- tion will be held in the Council Cham- bers, Friday evening, March 9th, at 8 pm. Old-time bandits robbed you, but they didn’t shoot you first because they were afraid you’d spank them. The article in this issue “Horse Lovers of History” by Mrs. G. A. M. Davison, of Unionville, is from the February issue of “Bridle and Golfer.” Motor car and truck licensés issu- ed so far this year at Barrie are forty per cent below the number taken out at this time last year. No wonder the railroads are licked by trucks. They should try box cars .20 feet Wide and 15 feet high. A great financier is one who can steal your money and make you seem a shame-faced piker for not knowing the rules. Charles Darwin enunciated what he called the law of the survival of the fittest which has been put into popuâ€" ship, interdependence and responsi- bility were not recognized. FROM BRIDLE AND GOLFER Phone 41-w Mr. George Pringle, uncle of Mrs. Jas. W. Kennedy of Agincourt, and Markham’s grand old man, died at his home on Church St. recently in his 94th year. The son of James Pringle and Ann Wanless, he was born in Markham, where he lived all his life. His father founded the Markham Wagon and Carriage Works, which business was carried on later by him and his brother, Robert. It was owned and managed by the Pringle family for 75 years. The late Mr. Pringle was 3. Well known cricket player, having lost‘ only \ WEEKLY NEWSY NOTES FROM ! THE AGINCOURT DISTRICT 5 out of 100 games. He was also a skilled wood carver. For many years he was a member of the Methodist Church. Surviving are a son, Williard, a daughter, Minnie Pringle McGirr, a granddaughter, Beulah McGirr, and a brother, James Pringle in his 92nd year. Mr. J. D. Pringle of the firm Pringle and Booth, so well known in Toronto business circles, and in Scarboro, is a nephew. In vain our fancy strives to paint, Al-Théiinhment after death, The glories that surround the saints, When yielding up their breath. Faith strives, but all its efforts fail, To trace them in their flight; No eye can pierce within the veil, Which hides the world of light. Thus much, and this is all we know, They are completely blest, Have done with sin. and care and woe, And with their Saviour rest. While ’rhey have gained, we locers Malvern Chapter I.O.D.E. held a most SUCCessful benefit euchre at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Fisher, last Thursday evening. There were 17 tables. The prize winners were: lst, Mrs. Alan Wheeler and Mr. Jack Riseborough; 2nd, Miss Frances Dix and Mr. W. D. Cowan. The hostesses were: Mesdames F. J. Fisher, W. H. Winch, Jack Underwood, Wm. Mc- Cowan and Albert Banks. This is the third of a series of benefit euchres given by the society this season, the first having been held at Mrs. Gordon Sellers and the second at Mrs. Alf. Miller’s. For some years Malvern Chapter I. O.D.E. have given liberal contributions to Scarboro Fair, The School Fair. Agincourt Continuation School, and for Township relief. All this has been the result of a deep united inter- est in public Welfare, followed up by hard work, entailing many a sacrifice on the part of the women. But the good accomplished has been well worth the effort. Malvern Chapter are to be highly congratulated. We wish them continued success.

The women of Agincourt and vi- cinity will observe the World Day of Prayer on Friday afternoon, March 3rd, in St. Timothy’s Anglican Church at 3 o’clock. “There is something inspiring in the mere thought that, on that day, we may have fellowship with the wom- en of virtually every country under the sun, who love Christ and seek to establish His Kingdom throughout all the earth. Not for one brief hour will voices arise to the Father for guidance in the solving of the great problems of the world, but from sun- rise to sunset, for forty-eight hours, the prayers of devoted women will arise to the throne of God.” Preparatory service will be held in Knox Presbyterian Church on Friday evening of this week, at 8 o’clock. Communion will be observed on Sun- day afternoon, March 5th. “Cling to that which endures.” In the panic year when Hannibal’s army crossed the Alps, a wise old Roman advised his son and heir: “Be not affected by the temporary shifts of fortune’s winds. Be certain that your undertakings are based upon the solid rock of proven worth. In a world of change, cling to that which endures.” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO The Glad Tidings.
