THE SEA, OUR HERITAGE ♦ GALLANT MEN. IF it were possible for the present generation to see unfolded before their eyes a living pageant of all those who had helped in the past to make England great, not .a few of us would be surprised to find how many of old England's heroes, have been heroes of the sea. Drake, Raleigh, Nelson! What visions such names conjure up! Giants among men, they followed the traditions which others had already laid down, adding to the crown of old England fresh laurel leaves of glory and honour. But heroism is not the prerogative of the past. The fierce torch of war which has been scorching our souls for the past five years has revealed anew the undying and un- conquerable spirit which has enabled the men of whom those others were but the spiritual ancestors, to endure and achieve. The names of Beatty and Jelli- coe, to'mention but two, thrill us to-day, and will thrill those who come after us, as they read the story of the long ,watches, the anxious waitings, and the fierce battles which formed so large a part of the war at sea. But if the pageant (beginning in the dim ages and coming right down to our own day) is to be anything like complete, it will include ,many a hero of humbler mmild. The men in the ranks, the men of the lower deck, th13 men in the stokehold, the men on the mine-sweepers—who can recall them all without a heart-throb of pride. The ftriie spirit which animated them is a. natural sequence of the indomitable hero- ism of the past. The simplicity which saw only a duty to be done and recked 7lot of the consequences was as manifest in the bravery of little Jack Cornwell as it was in the gallanit fellows who stood by Sir Richard Grenville when the Re- venqe entered on her memorable fight with the "fifty-three." Well may Eng- land be proud of her gallant men in blue —well may the people desire to pay homage at the shrine of their achieve- ment. Their work may have been humble and in some oases monotonous, but what would Nelson and Drake and Beatty have achieved without them? We may well pause to ask. A Worthy Work. It is to men such as these that the St. Andrew's Waterside Church Mission ministers, and surely no object could be more worthy of support? Gratitude for all that these men have done for us should be enough to open our hearts and our purses. Modest as are tall these brave fellows oolncferning their own deeds of valour, they surely have a. right to our sympathy and gratitude. And grati- tude is not gratitude if it be not practical. The stormy winds blow no lees piercingly because the war is over. Therefore woollens of all kinds are still a vital necessity. Long evenings away from home make library boxes a greater boon than ever-there- I fore remember the needs of the mission in this direction. Seamen's institutes have grown in popularity, and this aide of the work needs developing,, and further donations are urgently required. Gifts of money, woollens, books and magazines are requi-red in large numbers, and will be gratefully acknowledged by the Secretary -of the St. Andrew's Water- side Church Mission if sent to the offioos,. 65, Fenchusch-street, E.G. 3. There are many who will be glad to respond-—across the waves of the ages comes the sigaal, t" England: expects every man to do his dutv." The -ne,9,4 is ivst as gvasut to-day

PROHIBITION PLEA.\

PROHIBITION PLEA. AMERICI'S EXPERIENCE. I Some interesting facts coicerning the beneficial results of the Prohibition movement in America were laid before a largely attended gathering held at the Central Hall on Monday week, under the auspices of the United Kingdom Alliance. According to American and Canadian speakers who were present, in- dustrial efficiency had increased by fif- teen per cent., and production by six- teen per cent. Many thousands of work- ing men now owned their own homes, and school facilities had improved. With such a marvellous array of facts, and such an overwhelming mass of concrete evidence, no one could fail to realise the immense benefits that result from suppression of the Drink Traffic. Leg- islation that can produce such results should be welcomed by every thinking man and woman," said Dr. A. W. Ham- ilton. Am-eirica went 'dry' he con- tinued, as a result of long campaign- ing that has gone on for more than a century." The Vote of the People. A resolution demanding for the peoples of Great Britain the power, on the widest possible franchise, to pro- hibit by their direct votes the sale or Supply in their own localities, of intoxi- cating liquors as beverages, was moved by Mr. Frank Briant, M.P., and this right of the people to have the opportu- nity of recording their vote in regard to this question was emphasized by more than one of the speakers. The Ven. Archdeacon Lloyd, D.D., in a strong and eloquent address, referred to the specious argument that is now being used—that Prohibition is all very well for America, but that it will not do for Great Britain. He contended that so far as the Dominion of Canada is con- cerned they were British from end to end, and Prohibition fitted them there very well indeed. The Rt. Hon. Leif Jones made an-ex- excellent chairman, and among the speakers that addressed the meeting were Mrs. Philip Snowden, Rev. Father Hays, Dr. George A. Henry, U.S.A., and Rev. S. W. Hughes, who brought the proceedings to a close by expressing their sense of indebtedness to the chair- man and the speakers for the services they had rendered.

LIBERAL CATHOLIC UNION- BISHOP OF HEREFORD PRAISED. THE Executive Committee of the Liberal Catholic Union, at its meeting on Decem- ber 3, passed the following resolutions. which indicate the attitude of the Union with regard to the Enabling Bill and to recent action of the Bishop of Hereford. The Executive of the Liberal Catholic Union welcome the second reading of the Enabling Bill and express their earnest hope for the passing of that measure; at the same time they urge all lay people to make full use of the new power to be con- ferred on them under the Bill, with a view to the carrying out of many urgently needed reforms in the Church, and to pre- venting the new machinery from falling under the control of any narrow and well- organised minority. Approval of Bishop of Hereford. The Executive of the Liberal Catholic Union heartily welcomes the liberal atti- tude towards Catholic practices adopted by the Bishop of Hereford in his recent action in regard to All Saints', Hereford. In particular they express their deep I satisfaction with his Lordship"s statement that C in the present circumstances of the Church of England, the limits of what is legal have been found too straight for the legitimate needs of popular religion, and that episcopal authority is the only alter- native to naked individualism/ with the stipulation that invsuch. matters the feel- ings of the religiously disposed parish-; ioners should be fully regarded, and with his Lordship's opinionjthat r incense is an expressive symbol, commended by many Scriptural references, which in no way con- flicts with the mind of the Church of England,' and that, in substance, the ser- vice of vespers for the dead is unobj ection- able."

WORK IN ZENANAS. THE appeal for £ 100,000 now being made by the Church of England Zenana Mission- ary Society (27, Chancery-lane, W.C. 2) is one which will commend itself to all Church people (and especially Church women) who know the wide extent of the Society's labours among the women and children of India and China. The appeal shows that while this work is fourfold- evangelistic, medical, educational and, in- dustrial—yet the supreme aim is always the winning of converts to Christianity. Reports from the field contain very many most encouraging instances of conversion, and prove how highly the efforts of the missionaries are appreciated, not only by the women themselves but also by the Indian Government.
