saying in substance that
exposition would accomplish groat

sulted ta uniting ell the elements of
the state in building tee

eras correctly quoted it is very oaay
to agree with him. U the ^xpositi
ults ta uniting all the elem ents'of
the state it will be a good- thing. No
one will deny this, but if it doea toot,
what then? If instead of uniting, it
pulls apart, if discord and contro­
versies are created, if the anti-Port­
land feud is renewed will it be a good
thing T

The answer to, of course, that it will
not; and it is squally obvious that to­
day tha state is rant asunder ovsff the

indent Egyptians’ year, from
ura is derived, had a perfectly
beginning. It always com-
on the day when Sirus and the
run rose together.
The temples of
Egypt were really observatories, built
to fees this o r th at sta r as H rose.
They were more or lose eletooratto, but
all had aa their fundamental plan a
long, narrow passage down which the
Star’s rays came, end e dark cham­
ber a t the fa r end, where the priest
the observation end where the
was kept. The Egyptians dis­
covered that the year had am antra
quarter ef e day in it. They did it
by nothing th at on s o u s years Biros
aiid the sun rose almost together,
while on others there was an appre­
ciable difference in time, and that
these changes repeated themselves ev­
ery five y ean . They feuad the length
of the year to within 11 mtautoa of
its true value.

TWO GREAT EVENTS
Two events have already occurred
ta the first two weeks pf 1882 that
may well dim tha lustre of any others
in the past nineteen hundred years.
History will acclaim them of trass
cendont importance; and yet
have bean living* our humdrum lives
al during these fateful
weeks have been too naar these events
to begin to realise what they mean to
the world and to the future of the hu-
jwce.

Ireland th at has been going an for

The second event to which we refer
is the success of the conference for
the limitation of armaments, which
has been ta progress a t Washington
for the past two months, with its
■ cement to begin the scrapping of
tha greatest machines ef death and
traction ever invented by man.
No other Christmas tim e since the
on# when the angels rang over the
Judean plains whan C hrist was born
boon so worthy of a Joyful hosan­
na; and yet wo suppose there have
been hundreds o f Christina* and New
Year addresses p a d s and sermons
ashed during the past month, with­
out the remotest allusion to die ful­
fillment under our ayes of this draam
af universal peace and good will
chanted nierf&ssn hundred years ago.
For the fin# concrete steps toward
shutting up jpf the Devil schools of
war have been taken and no nation
can henceforth dors to face tha world
ta opening them ‘ again. , Tha five
greatest nations of die world have
got togtber and mad# a pact to learn
