I wonder how many of those who daily employ, or enjoy, the conveniences and contrivances of our modern world have any conception of the prolonged discipline of mind that has made these things avail

There is hope for un when, and only when. mentally and morally, we begin to know our littleness and to face a painful and bracing discipline of thought. An un- disciplined assertion of individual rights makes herty into licence and produces chaos.

£30.000. MORE ON ONE SHIP.

In a large passenger vessel which my company recently completed, we found that Board of Trade regulations alone involved an increased cost of over £30,000, as compared with a similar ship we had built twelve years ago.

If we were fortunate enough or from the profit-und-loss point of view, unfortu- nate enough to have another order to- day for a sister-ship we would have to face another £2,000 coat to comply with still further Board of Trade regulations which came into force this year, another £3,000 for the cumulative cost of the new Pensions Act, and still another £3,500 if the new regulations which the Home Office have just issued in draft under the Factory Acts are enforced.

In the rush of outside interests, they are little at home and are not always able to deal with babies at the important years. The only control that the young will acknowledge is the control of those who know and love them.

SMOKING, POWDER AND PAINT.

It was irritating to the young to be told continually that smoking was 1 crime, or, at best, was vulgar. It was. forgotten that dress in every age had been ridiculous-(loud laughter)-at paint and powder were not new things, but were the rule in bygone ages.

Miss Faithfull carried the war against Jack of national discipline into the home, and it was noticed that the men most warmly applauded her defences of modern girls, and the women her attacks on modern girls.

The young people of to-day, she said, were old in some ways beyond their years, and she continued:

Thor wanted to ask of youth in the time of peace, big and de- anite things as they asked of it in time of war, and it would rise to it.

They wanted a mission to the West End; they wanted a Bavonarola-many Savonarolas; they wanted to set on foot a new Holy War and a new quest of the 1 Grail. (Applause.)
