"(a) To bring to a personal confession of their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Master those whose relations to our church is at present merely nominal. "(b) To bring into the fellowship of our church those of our own communion coming to us from other lands. "(c) To unito the whole body of our Presbyterian people in the work of humanizing and of Christianizing the social, the industrial, the civic and every other department of our national life. "And, further, that the situation is such as to call for the sympathetic co-operation of all the Christian churches in Canada, lo the end that our fellow-citizens of other speech and race may come to know and love and serve Jesus Christ our Lord, and thus join with us in building up tbe Kingdom of God in our beloved land.

Quiet Event Took Place in Ottawa a Few Hays Ago. Hon. George H. Perley, minister without portfolio, of the Dominion Cabinet and Miss Mllly White, daughter of the late Hon. Thomas White, minister of the interior under the late Sir John A. Macdonald. were very quietly married in St. John's Church, says the Montreal Star. The Rev, J. P. Gorman, assisted by Rev. Canon Pollard, performed the ceremony, which, owing to a recent bereavement in the bride's family was witnessed by only immediate relatives. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Robert S. White, of Montreal, wore' her travelling costume, a handsome creme serge suit with collar and cuffs of white moire, and a blouse of white embroidered marquisette, white tegal straw hat faced with black and trimmed with ostrich feathers, and carried a bouquet of lilies of tbe valley and white roses. She also wore tbe bridegroom's eift, a pendant of diamonds and pearls set in platinum. Miss Laura White, the bride's sister, as bridesmaid wore a gown of white silk shadow brocade crepe, with trimmings of white satin and pearls, and a white bat with a pink chiffon crown and a J mount of pink roses at the back. She j also wore the bridegroom's gift, a bracelet of platinum set with whole j pearls and diamonds, and carried pink roses. Dr. Fred Perley was best man. Mr. and Mrs. Perley left by private car for Toronto and Detroit. The Silver Standard Mine near Hazelton will begin shipping ore to the Trail Smelter. There are to be ten carloads of the ore sent here by the company over the Grand Trunk Pacific to bo taken south on the way to the smelter at Trail. This is tiie news that was brought from the interior by A. E. McMaster, the agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific who returned last evening from a trip to tbe district. The new rate that bus been arranged between the conn.any and the mining men seems to bo entirely satisfactory and there promises to be considerable ore sent by this route. The mines about Hazelton are all reported to be showing up well and the prospects are that there will be a large tonnage before long to go forward for treatment at the reduction works. The shipments will be made by rail to Prince Rupert and from here by steamer for the south. o Meteorological Report.

P. Is Connected With This Point—The Fish Business Is Looked Upon As One Which Will Call For A Tremendous Number Of Cars—Visiting Officials Tell How Trade Is Being Built Up Along Line Of New Road The completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific as a going concern to Prince Rupert Will be attended with grand results in all lines of trade. This Is borne out by tho officials of the Canadian Express Company now in this city on a tour of Inspection. The officials are M. T. Pullen, the general manager of the company, and N. J. Ross, the superintendent for this part of the service. Mr. Pullen Is accompanied by Mrs. Pullen and is making a holiday trip, while Mr. Ross is on one of his regular tours of inspection of the different offices. The business of the company is conducted through the offices of the Grand Trunk. Pacific, the local agents of the railway company acting as the agents of the express company. Mr. Ross is fully alive to the pos sibilities of this port as is evidenced by the remarks which he made last evening on his return from a trip along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific as far as Hazelton in company with W. E. Duperow, representing the Grand Trunk Pacific in Vancouver and A. E. McMaster, the local representative. Mr. Ross stated that already in view of the great possibilities that fishing had at this port his company had put In a requisition for nearly sixty refrigerator cars to be ready for use here as soon as the railway was connected up as a going concern with this city. This number, he feels, will be needed at once for the trade that there will be here to start with. This will, of course, develop to far greater things. On the start, however, be is .satisfied tiiai Ibis number of cars will be put to use to take care of the fish that will go out of here frozen for the markets of the east. As an evidence of the way in which the completion of the railway to different points is developing trade, he points out that the express company Is now laying down In the city of Edmonton every day 300 cans of cream alone. This trade has been built up with the opening of the various farming sections througii which the railway passes. This Is independent of the milk business that Is handled by the company. It applies to the cream only. In the interior of this province he looks to tho opening up of great farming sections where there will be great quantities of farm produce put on tbe trains that will run continually to this port. Tlu- nip to tbe interior afforded lilm the opportunity, to see what iiiat part ol the country is likely to produce and he sees In | tbe territory that lies along the line, of tho Grand Trunk Pacific Immense possibilities. Made Inspection, Captain G. Robertson, of Victoria, superintendent of marine on this coast, has made an inspection of the station at Digby Island. He found everything in first-class shape. Mr. Tremalne. the inspector of offices, will remain a few days longer In the city. Captain Robertson will go south tills morning. Recently at a meeting of the Farmers' Club, Lord Milner said that one could not help asking what use the nation was going to make of the fortunate conjunction of circumstances in the Improved economic outlook of agriculture and the increased appreciation of the importance of agriculture on the part of statesmen. Two objects, it seemed to him, were of great importance—one was tne greater productivity of the land of the country, and the other was an increase in tbe number of those directly and consciously Interested in the growth of that productivity, He was certain that a great increase in productivity was possible, by more technical methods and by a more liberal application of capital to soil. There was also an Immense need for further encouragement by the stato, both in the direction of technical and agricultural education and in the fairer treatment of agriculture with regard to some of ihe burdens to which It was subjected. There was a great difference of opinion with regard to the increase of small holders and small owners, bul In- loll thai on the broadest possible grounds, it waa essential t-> the welfare of the community, lo the welfare of bind owners mid farmers, that the reviving prosperity of English agriculture sl Id be shared by a greater number of people, llo did not think the agricultural laborers of this country would i»- satis* ficd, nor could they expect them to be satisfied, even with an Increase of ivages, so long us there was not more opportunity for the individual to raise himself by bis own efforts in the social scale. llo believed himself that what the most enterprising nnd energetic of the actual tillers of the soil looked forward to, and what they most cared aboul, was the prospect of themselves owning something. He believed il was economically desirable that the land of England should be farmed In farms of considerable size. He saw great advantages In the existence of largo land-owners. Hut It was Indirectly to the Interest of land-owners and farms and vital te them, that the large ownerships of England should bo interspersed with (Continued on Page Four, < m Friday, .tune 20, lftl«> JOOBNAL prince ffittvetf journal Telephone 138 O.

Everything points to this becoming a port of the very first rank at the time it is open for general business as far as througii freight is concerned. The plans of the Canadian Express Company as detailed elsewhere is another of the many indications that this is to be the condition. That company is not going to take any chance on the cold storage shipments and accordingly has had provision made for the placing of a large number of refrigerator cars ready for the business that will originate out of this port. It is safe to say that there has never been a port on the Coast that, started off at the very commencement of its existence and a handler of through freight that had the same provision made in this respect as is promised for Prince Rupert. The road is assured it would seem for early next summer, so that there will be within a year's time tbe opening up of a port second to none on the Coast here. The facilities will be here for the handling of all kinds of trade. The wand Trunk Pacific seems io be thoroughly alive to the Importance of the place that is to be developed and there will therefore be an awakening in the city that will surprise e\en the most sanguine with respect to it. \vithin a few months the road will be through and the city will be athrob with life in commercial way. The preparations for that time must of necessity produce a great deal of activity. The greatest movement in the history o the place is due now at any moment. MONEY AND CIRCULATION. The amount of money in the world varies very little from month to month, although there is doubtless a steady increase. There is just as much money in times of depression as in times of activity. The difference is in the activity of circulation, says an exchange. If n million dollars Is exchanged once a year, it.represents only a million dollars of business for the year; but if it is exchanged once a month, it represents twelve millions of business for the twelve months. Money is never scarce; it only moves slowly at times. A day or two ago we read that the transactions on the New York Stock Exchange represented 300,000 shares. Most of this was no real business. If the conclusions reached by the Pujo Committee of Congress are at all accurate, only about 30,- 000 shares really changed ownership. The other 270,000 shares represented so much gambling, and In order that this gambling may be carried on millions upon millions of money were kept out of legitimate circulation. In Europe just now there is a financial stringency. There is .ust as much money as ever, but it is being kept from circulation for one cause or another. Perhaps one reason is that it is likely to be needed to meet the liquidation ensuing upon ihe conclusion of the Balkan war. As soon as there is any certainty as to how much money will be needed for that purpose, circulation will become freer and there will be an end to the stringency. A very liltle money moving freely will suffice for a very great deal of business. P(l\ EIITl AND GENIUS. Lord Curzon made some interesting remarks oeurlng upon ihe question of poverty and genius when presiding at the Literary Fund dinner. Differing from Lord Rosebery, Lord Curzon said: "1 decline to admit that there is any stimulus in poverty or any Inspiration in squalor. Byron was a genius although he was a peer. Burns was a genius although ho was a ploughman. Hut Burns's genius was not due to his being a ploughman any more than Byron's genius was due to bis being a peer, if Burns had not been a ploughman, but had been a planter in Jamaica, he would still have written great works of genius, although they would have been works of a different kind. Chaucer was a rather impecunious person, but his best work was done when lie was in good circumstances. Cbatterton did not write better because lie was penniless and starving. Cioldsinit.il died in debt for over £2000, but his best work was written when he was in comfortable circumstances. 1 ask you to take the cases of Shakespeare, Milton, Addison, Swift, Pope, Dryden, Burke, Macaulay, Shelley, Gibbon, Wordsworth, Tennyson. None of these men were poor in the sense that Burns was poor. Most of them were fairly well off, some of them were exceedingly well off, while a limited number of them belonged to the classes." Lord Morley, speaking at the same banquet, said he agreed with Lord Curzon that poverty was no stimulus at all to literature. "In Murray's immortal dictionary be found the saying fathered on him that 'literature is the most seductive, the most deceiving, the most dangerous of all professions.' He stood by that, and thought that that description of it, if not over-eolored, was sound. Insecurity was the root of all our social mischief, and until he got into what the Dean of Durham called the Parnassus the literary man had to suffer insecurity in the most poignant degree." ■1-4-4-44-44-+4 * * * * <HNMMMMMMI GET A HONE —IN THE— NAAS VALLEY If you send a wire to Aiyansh we will have a boat to meet you at Port Nelson any day in the week.

BENEFITS OF BRITISH RULE RESULT OF LORD KITCHENER AS OFFICIAL REPRE9ENTA- Tll E IX EGYPT. Sudan Is Now Very Near Self-supporting—Egypt Not Now Solely Dependent, on Cotton Crop. Lord Kitchener is the official representative of British rule and influence in the land of Egypt, and his annual report of tbe economic progress of the country bus just been published. "Tho prosperity of Egypt," says the London Times, in summarising this report, "depends upon cotton and the price of cotton. The production of Egyptian cotton had been doubled by 1894, but the country was no better off, because prices had fallen greatly. At the end of last century prices bounded upward, the value of cotton exports doubled, and money poured into Egypt. It was largely wasted in the period of in- f 1mlIon which ended In the 'boom' of 1907, with its subsequent disasters. Only a continuance of abundant crops and good prices has enabled Egypt to emerge successfully from that time of trial, There are other precarious aspects of this dependence on cotton. Egypt is fighting the common boll-worm, which lias been ravaging tbe crops, and she has now become aware of tho presence of a pink boll-worm which threatens to be a menace. The cultivators are greater enemies to their crops than are these insects. Their wilful adulteration of their cotton has been damaging the high reputation of Egyptian cotton. Legislation is now- checking these suicidal practices. "Again, variation in the flow of the Nile is an Important factor. For several years the Nile has been comparatively low, but in accordance with precedent a series of exceptionally high Niles may now be expected, which means a danger of floods in Lower Egypt and possible widespread disaster. The danger was lessened when the raising of the Assuan dam was completed last December, but it is proposed to build a new dam on the White Nile forty miles above Khartum, by which the supply can be still further regulated. "The fellah has to be still further protected against himself. Egypt is a multitude of small holdings, and tho Improvident peasantry were rap- Idly being expropriated from their land by swarms of rapacious moneylenders. The Agricultural Bank was not quite realizing expectations, and the facilities it offered were not a sufficient check. Lord Kitchener turned to his Indian experiences for a remedy. He bad a share in passing the Punjab Land Alienation Act, and knew bow invaluable that measure had proved. He has now boon instrumental in passing in Egypt Ihe Five Feddaii Law, which exempts the holdings of small fanners from seizure for debt. His Cantonal Justice Law is a reform which will give effect to local usage and provide tbe peasantry with swift access to justice from their own notables, without recourse to the elaborate procedure of larger courts. He is establishing rural savings banks upon methods which are encouraging thrift, because they make it easy to save. . "He has become a roadmaker, and Egypt will soon become covered with a network of good roads, and no longer be chiefly dependent Upon her railways and her waterways for means of communication. Above all, lie has perceived thai Egypt's dependence upon cotton must be lessened, and to that end he Is stimulating the development of tbe other resources of the country. Lord Kitchener's report on the progress of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan Is equally encouraging. Tho Sudan is now very nearly self-supporting; in four years iis external trade has Increased from under two to over three millions sterling, and the great Gezira triangle between the White and Blue Niles should soon be producing large quantities of excellent cotton." gambling upon this huge scale is very much to be deplored," says the Spectator (London), "we doubt whe- tner it is so serious as the evil of betting, fostered as it is in England by inducements in the daily press. The insidious allurements of the half-penny paper penetrate into every house and meet us at every street corner. ' LONDON STREET TRAFFIC. Interesting Statistics of die Most Frequented Streets and Roads in London. The most frequented street in London would appear to be Piccadilly, where 31,335 vehicles pass the Ritz Hotel in twelve hours, says the Dundee Advertiser, The equivalent traffic volume is 78.4. Other high figures are 75.6 units in Kensington Park Road and 72.1 in Commercial Road, E. The bridge taking the heaviest traffic is London bridge, over which 17,2r.:t vehicles pass in the twelve hours This is followed closely by Westminster Bridge, with 17,2D'l; Hlackfriars, with 16,307, and the Tower Bridge with 13,010. Reducing these figures to units of congestion, Blacltfrlars Bridge, says Engineering, is the most crowded, its traffic volume being 102.8. The Tower Bridge comes next, with 95.8 j units, the corresponding figure for London Bridge being 85.6 and for Westminster 84.3 units. By dividing these units of traffic volume by the width of the roadway taken in tens of feet, the relative traffic density is obtained. The highest figure noted is an average 27.3 on the Tower Bridge, rising to 53.7 during the heaviest hour oi the day. Brentford High Street has on the same basis of comparison, an average traffic density of 24.9, Old Street one of 23.3 and Canning Town Bridge one of 21.

Work Accomplished Makes the Indian Irrigation System One of Wonders of tbe World. The greatest, enterprise ever undertaken by British irrigation engineers—the Lower Bari Doab Canal, in the Punjab, has just been completed, and its opening makes a landmark In the wonderful and romantic story of Indian irrigation. The Engineering Supplement of The Times l London) contains an account, of the completion of this third and last section of the "Triple Canal Project" which is now Irrigating vast areas in the Punjab. "The Lower Bari Ooab Canal is unusual In construction, for it actually crosses, upon a level, the important, river Ravi.

The cultivators have been established In districts which were formerly quite useless. Their villages are thriving, ilieir land is growing In value, and for them the desert sands have indeed proved golden. The Triple Project cost close upon £7,000,000, but it. yields to the Government a return upon capital outlay of 7 1-2 per cent. Yet it means affluence to the peasantry also, and life in the canal colonies is so popular among the stalwart men of Northern India that the development of irrigation is seriously affecting recruiting for the Native Army. "The attraction of irrigation schemes for the uninitiated is that the results are so visible and concrete. To enter an irrigated area in Northern India is an unforgettable experience. The stranger passes in a flash from monotonous, barren sand-hills Into a land of smiling plenty. On the one hand, the interminable desert; on the other, green waving crops, prosperous villages, ant! cool, refreshing gleams of water. Small wonder that in the presence of such visions men have pome- times been led to form exaggerated ideas of the possibilities of irrigation.

Nearly $500,000,000, of Which $300,000,000 Was British. Great as the national and Imperial progress has been in the past generation, it Is bound to be vastly exceeded in the future. That anticipation is warranted by the incalculable natural wealth and resources of the Empire still but partially developed, the commercial products yet to be exploited or created, the growth of population in the Dominions, and the attraction of capital and enterprise to the Empire's tempting areas. Compare the area of the Empire with that of the Continent of Europe. The. European total, even incluring Nova Zembia and Spitzbergen, as well as Iceland, is 3,870:000 square miles, against our Empire's 11,345,- 000, so that the British Empire is nearly as large as three Europes put together. The Empire includes every variety of soil and climate, and yields all the land and sea products of the temperate, the tropic and the frigid zones, it is unequalled n? a treasure store of minerals, and it has the enormous advantage in this electrical age of abundunt water powers for cheap production on the grand scale—including such mani- fected by revolutionary disturbances and the Russian output was handicapped by labor troubles and water scarcity. The maintenance of Ihe world's gold supply in adequate proportion to the world's needs is a question that now excites some misgiving, and in this connection great attention is devoted to India's extraordinary absorption of the precious metal. It is now reckoned that from 190S to 1912, both years inclusive, India has absorbed no less than 15 per cent, of the world's total gold output. o LORD M1LNER. Continued from Page One.

Many speak of the Empire as a treasure-house of natural wealth, and the justice of this statement is abundantly manifest if one considers what her share is in the world's total gold production. That world total in 1912 amounted to $475,000,- 000, of which $300,000,000 was produced in the British Empire.

He knew no big country In Europe where agricultural interests commanded so little respect where politicians looking for office cared so little for agricultural interests. Why had agriculture so little power in England? Because the number of people in England who were directly interested in the profits of it, not as mere wage-earners, was so small as compared With other countries in Europe. This disregard, however, was diminishing. He believed that economical variety in the size of agricultural ownerships was advantageous. That might be arguable.
