Vpon arriving they were officially welcomed by the Mayor anj councillors.

After a supper wus given by Lieut. Parkyn, a musical evening wag enjoyed In tho town hall which was splendidly decorated for tho occasion. In an Interesting address Capt.

To avoid any Interference with the recruiting of the regular force is an essential feature of the scheme, only those who are eligible, aro men that have lived on the frontier of civilization or served their country In military or naval forco; and have thus learned how to shoot and rld. The reason for the Legion of Frontiersmen coming into existence, was that the country was short of troops in tho event of an cvaslun or a great European war. If England had sufficient troops there would be no need of the Legion or any other organised body of men.

Everywhere THE MOST RE- MARKABLE PAINT SALE EVER ATTEMPTED IN SASKATOON POWERFUL SERMON ON LOVE OF GOD Rev.

C. S. Eby of Toronto Preaches to 3rd Avenue Methodist Congregation PRAISE FOR PRESS Expresses Pleasure at Reports of Sermons Given In Local Papers The Rev. C. S.

Eby, of Toronto, addressed the congregation of the 3rd Avenue Methodist church In Victoria theutre yesterday morning. His sermon was un eloquent presentation of the doctrine of Christ's-Kingdom, in which he showed his world wide sympathy with the principle of universal brotherhood. Before tuking up his subject the speaker commended tho accuracy and fairness with which tho press of Faskatoon had reported his address of Monday night. So often a speaker's utterances were distorted ly reporters In the effort after the sensational that he greatly appreciated the excellent reports of Christiun work given by the papers of Suskatoon. Dr.

F.bys text was from Ihlllppians 20 Our citizenship is In the heavens." Tho Kingdom of God is GoJa rulo over ull things and because lie Is the Father in the heavens He is here toduy as Well as elsewhere. Teachers of the Gospel," he said, often fall to distinguish between heaven und heavens. Heaven In the singular Is that place where Gods law, and love and will are supreme. In the plural, it means the whole Infinitude of space. This planet Is but one of tho outlying colonies of the empire and Is related to It as the colonies of Rome were to tho mother city.

There Is much rebellion existing but if we are citizens of the empire of God we must try to overcome every discordant clement and bring all things Into subjection to Christ. Iaul urges men to be workers together with God until Ills fatherhood Is known and his kingdom acknowledged and his will Is done upon earth as in heaven. Any man living for less than this is nut living the Christ life." The speaker said he remembered when Methodists not only emphasised conversion but holiness. They felt that tho spreading of these truths was their mission. But soon It was thought that the experience of holiness was the privilege of a few religious aristocrats.

Gradually the' church cooled in Us ardor and holiness became a sort of fanaticism. Now the church says very little about it. The speaker said that when a boy he thought that thing of which John Wesley spoke so much must be worth seeking after. He sought after it and when he came to the crucifixion of self he found it. Going to Japan as missionary he continued to read all he could find on this subject of holiness but he found that most teachers made it to consist of a polishing up of self.

But it is the unveiling of the Christ," he said, wishing the acknowledgment of him as king, thut makes us holy. He must become all in all. Then heart and mind and life will expand and wo will learn to walk with God. "A man is just as big as his citizenship. Some mens kingdom is found only under their hats.

Well, it is a great thing to achluve mastery there, but we should expand in our sympathies until o' citizenship with ever widening influence Includes the home, tho city, tho province, tho nation, tho empire; yea, the whole world. We must bo moro than British If we would realise Christs conception of the universal kingdom aiid the brotherhood of man." Ho spoke of China, with her teaming millions. These people, whom wo fulled to understand, were an ancient people. They were there In China when the Egyptians were building the pyramids. Then there was the mighty German empire where Luther struggled for individual liberty.

Germany with her scholarship and Btalwart manhood must bo reckoned with. These and othcr peoples are all our brothers, and when we understood the kingdom of God wo will acknowledge that brotherhood. "AH this seems a great load for men to carry, but if we understand It we shull not And It so. Like everythin? belonging to God thero Is a simple underlying principle which Is of un-versal application. The key of tho kingdom and t'he realisation of universal brotherhood is found In the law of love.

There Is one God who ever lives and love. His love may bo ours, shed abroad In our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God, the kingdom of loe, is at our doors, and wo may enter In and become citizens of heaven." The smile of satisfaction goes with every snow white sack Gigantic Sale OF- Sold by Grocers for this week onlv at purehaso the property adjuifiing the site, they already possessed, on the west side up to Knox church. tilnce the resent government came Into pow-ors there has been no action taken so far as the public have been made aware save thut the minister of militia at first utteinpted to encourage the Idea that a large enough armury site should be donated to the government free. There wa.s no particular rush noticed on the part of any of the western cities to donate vuluublo property and Saskatoon was no exception to the rule.

Since then tho armory site question has apparently not been a burning question with tho govern ment at Ottawa and little or nothing was known about their intentions although rumors have been in circulation. J. H. Ilolmes whom it Is known that the government have approached in regard to a price on a block of land on Aahworth-IIolmes was interviewed lust night by a Phoenix re porter and Informtd that a report was current to the effect that the government had offered to exchange the site on the crescent for his block on Ash-worth-Holmes. Ho said that it was entirely news to him and that although the government had been In negotiation' with him nothing had been done recently.

Inquiries in other well informed circles however, elicited the Information that a request had been mado to place a valuation dn tho two properties for the purpose of arriving at a basis of exchange. From similar sources It was also learned that the government were not considering purchasing additional land adjoining tho very central site that the liberal administration purchased on the crescent. It Is obvious that the site purchased by the liberal government situated as It la in tho centre of tho city and with cars from every direction running past It, is to be preferred to a slto which, although not perhaps far out, Is certainly remote from the centre of the city end vastly more Inconvenient to reach for tho majority of those wha would require to use the armory than the down town site. The site on the crescent Is valued by dealers at about 275,009 and the block suggested on Caswell Hill ai about the same figure.
