con.
The respective claims of war- riors and reformers wero sidered at the European Y.M.C.A. last evening, in a debate arising from a motion by Mr. A. A. Dand that the warrior had done more to benefit mankind than the re- former. A firm believer in re- form by the sword, Mr. Dand unid that it was the warrior who always prepared the ground for the re- former, and he poluted to the big reforms of history as having been brought upon the advent of the hordes of some conqueror or other.
