On the return of the, Duke of Connaught from India he will be posted for duty with the headquarter’s staff of the AdjutantGeneral’s, Department at the Horse Guards. ‘Truth’ insists that everything is cut and dried for H.R.H. to succeed the Duke of Cambridge as Commander-in-chief, when the proper time arrives. From a recent issue of an English paper we learn that “ the annual meeting ol the Guild of St. Matthew was held a few days since under the presidency of the Warden (the Rev. Stewart D. Headlam). It contains 109 members, of whom some forty-three were priests. The following resolution of the night was carried:— ‘ That, whereas the present contrast between the condition of the great body of the workers who produce much and consume little and those classes who produce little and consume much is contrary to the Christian doctrines of brotherhood and justice, this meeting urges on all Churchmen the duty of supporting such measures as will, tend (a) to restore to the, people the value which they give to the land; (b) to bring about a better distribution of the wealth created by labor; (c) to give the whole body of the people a voice in their own government ; and (d) to abolish false standards of worth and dignity.’ Land, it was argued, as such was of no value. In an ‘empty’ country it possessed no worth. What gave land its value was the fact or the accident ol population.” No hospital needed for patients- that nse Hop Bitters, as they core so speedily at home. See and believe.
