Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 24, 1902, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba morning free press Winnipeg wednesday december 24, s prof w. Hodgson Ellis official analyst the Dominion government reports that sunlight soap has a thorough cleansing Power without danger to the clothes or skin reduces expense laundry first dispute Over or. Kruger s memoirs sir Evelyn Wood flatly contradicts the Boer he adds that Kruger did not change his clothes Day or night and economize one department and three professors. Or. Patrick has frequently said that arts ought not to be taught in a theological College and i think the majority of the University Council Are of the same mind. But will or. Moleod kindly say who will Supply the teaching in the departments now carried by the denominational col Leges if he can assure the univer sity Council that the government will secure and sustain the ten or twelve lecturers necessary he will Confer a. Lasting favor. I am no More in favor of denominational colleges than he seems to be but in the absence of a generous University policy both in the Liberal and the conservative administration the denominations ought not to be branded with infamy because they have done at much self sacrifice what the government has neglected to own College Manitoba hag ten lecturers and if the provincial government assumed its honest responsibility to the province in educational matters these would be reduced by half in becoming a merely theological staff. As things now Are however the colleges Are compelled to struggle on. Taxed to their greatest working capacity and because they Endeavor to make the Best of an embarrassing situation. As for the Justice or injustice of the Council in the Brandon affair i have nothing to say As already letter is much too Long. Frank g. Forster. Lorris dec. 2 2. Peletier s Arctic trip. Foreign correspondence of the new York times London nov. Promises to develop into a Beautiful be tween of part sic diet and Gen Era Evelyn begun. In 1s81, when an armistice with a View to the Between great Britain and the was declared. Gun. me the user Lead ers Midway Between the two Camps. In the extracts the memoirs of Paul which the times has been publishing by Aji arrangement with the holders of the copy right the sex president makes some remark Able state it iils in to what occurred at that interview. Or. Kruger the matters at Issue Between the British the Boers. In to one cites Man he that sir Evelyn suppose we do no Virid on this Point. Will you on Fig iting Kruger says he replied Truu i not a fair question. If we do not yield will you go on Rizir Evelyn replied whereupon it is asserted. Tool tip his hat , did said then we need not discuss matters then according to the sex president. Sir Evelyn took i by the Arm and said no come Back. You must not be so afterwards again according to the memoirs there was a discussion in regard to the Extension of the armistice. Sir Evelyn says or. Kruger did his very utmost to get off with verbal assurances and As the armistice had to be prolonged in or Der to continue the negotiations he seized the Opportunity while i was engaged in conversation with Gen. Joubert and or. Jorisson to charge an orderly to take the news of the prolongation of the armistice to the Camp. But i noticed this and asked is the Man so Short As i heard the nature of his Mission 1 said to one of Wood s aide de Camps Stop that Man i then went into the tent and said to Gen. Wood that i asked him As an honest Man first to sign the agree ment containing the Points discussed Between us. Tha document Lay on the table but sir Evelyn refused to sign. It was not until i cried burghers that Wood who now saw that further evasion was impossible gave in and signed. The orderly was then allowed to go off with the news of the prolongation of the that Gen. Wood would take some notice of these statements was Only to be expected and he promptly wrote to the times As follows in. Your Issue of yesterday there Are some extracts from the of Paul Kruger published in . In his account of what took at g Neil s farm on the South tru i roue of the langs Nek Ridge in there Are Many . Impartial historians Are to regard or. Kruger As an accurate person and i should not trouble you. Were the ques Tion merely of the credibility of Paul Kruger and Evelyn Wood. In March 1ss1, i was however the agent of the government of our country and so 1 you to allow me to state in your paper As follows or. Kruger writes i took him by the Arm and asked him not to b1 Hasty. I reply. I saw or. Krupper then for the first time. I did not take him by the Arm. As or. Kruger did not change his clothes Day or and economise soap close pox Imus to him was unpleasant. Or. Kruger Al Lars 3 he could neither talk nor understand English every sentence of our conference was 10 him. by by messes. Jorisson and Piet v Hubert. Or. Kruger states that he prevented my aides de Camp sending an or Derly Jack to my Camp. Not Only is this untrue but a the chief of the and military were both present at the conference there was no occasion to Send any messenger in to Camp. Or. Kruger states that he me to sign conditions of peace by cry ing out burghers he Musl forget for his burghers were two Miles off on the far Side of a Hirsh Ridge. I Iet Joubert can no speak for himself but As he told me he explained to the burghers that their defeat was inevitable unless they accepted the British terms the com Pelling Force came not from the Boer Camp but from Downing Street Whitehall sir Evelyn is famous As a hard hit Ter and it must be admitted that in his letter he gave As Many knocks As he had received. It is however not the question of or. Kruger s or Gen. Wood s veracity that is causing the trouble but the reference made by sir Evelyn to the Boer statesman s per Sonal habits. Already there Are of the storm that is to be expected As a result of Titis remark. Boer leaders Here have characterized is As uncalled for in gentlemanly and while britons who have lived in South Africa have come Forward with state ments supporting sir Evelyn. Apparently the great question did Kruger is about to become an absorbing topic of Public discussion. To the editor of the free press. Am much amused at the Arti Cle in the Telegram referring to Leroy reseller s journey to the North pole. From the Absurdity of the proposed trip of three men with Only Livi dogs i May say that it is a physical impossibility. Imagine three men their provisions bedding and t Niit to say anything of dog to travel Over Mir s Only five dogs. It seems a idea yet strange to say Pellet Ier is for Iron crazy As i War. Weil acquainted with him while in the you North. America and taking advantage of the Strong current which carries the Floe ice straight to or Over the pole. F. A. Hardisty. Winnipeg dec. 22. The Sabbath Day. To the editor of the Preo press. His letter on the Sabbath recently published in the free press or. Mcmillan admits that the Law and with it the Sabbath ceased to be in Force at the coming of Christ and that there is no command for Sabbath Observance in the new Tes Lamont yet he contends for sunday Observance for reasons satisfactory to himself no doubt but which rest merely on conjecture. In the last paragraph of his letter or. Mcmillan says Why then do i keep the sunday for the same reason As the apostolic churches did and in the same Way that it is prop Erly a Day of worship and one which should be kept in commemoration of the fact that the Saviour Rose from the dead and brought life and in j mortality to Light through the in answer to the foregoing i would say that there Are no instructions Given in the new testament As to How the resurrection Day was to be spent by the disciples nor any in stances recorded of How it was generally spent by the churches in Paul s time. It seems to have been regarded As any other Day. The account Given in the acts of Paul s visit to Troas and of his breaking bread with the disciples there the Only in stances of the kind in the new testament serves to give Light on the subject we will turn to acts Chap. 20. We read As follows and upon the first Day of the week when the disciples came together to break bread Paul preached with them ready to depart on the Morrow and continued his speech unti Mic night. And there were Many lights in the upper chamber where they were Gath ered then after stating the Accident that befell Eutychus his recovery by Paul it goes on to say when he therefore had come up again and had broken bread and eaten and talked a Long jew remained in their employ the said Christian patrons would drop their patronage. The proprietors expressed their sorrow to the Young they had no fault to find with but rather thar. Lose Christian patronage they must act unjustly to their jewish employee. The Young jew was dismissed. And this comes oddly from christians who in the language of Disraeli profess to Wor ship a dead a jewish citizen. Winnipeg dec. 22. Mormon Bishop dead when they had gone. To the editor. Correspondents who adept a pen name should enclose their a to and address for Thi information of the editor Only. Letters containing personalities or at tacks on private character will not be published. Defends University Council. To the editor of the free press. Dear a student of Mani Toba University i have read with in Terest of the tirade of or. A. Mcleod Morden in your Issue of 20th inst. Against the University Council. First or. Mcleod says for years the University examinations were a discredit to the this state ment is made with a blushing Confidence and without one single shred of evidence to prove Posi Tion. This May be boldness out it is scarcely argument. In the past the provincial univer sity was nut All that could be de sired but for a Young province Strug gling with All the of an Early settlement the history o Manitoba University nil things considered is second to none this do minion. To expect our infant univer sity to compare favourably with the Long established Tim Vershie of the East is to expect the impossible. When we Are As Well backed by a thickly populated province of Well to do Farmers As Toronto. Kingston and Montreal when our government is sufficiently sturdy to Grant a Fuller endowment the spirit of Western de will no he lacking bit to expect us in Manitoba to Spring triumphant into the front rank of Canadian universities in one Dav is both unreasonable and unfair. Where fathers and families Are working hard to earn their daily bread on a Prairie Homestead it is not to be expected that the children have Leisure or Opportunity to prepare As thoroughly for a University course As the children of the Ontario Farmer Long settled under a much older and More widely spread educational system. It would Surprise some of the critics of the University to learn the High percentage of students in the past 1 lace curtains i have used Pearl to Day for Wash ing lace curtains and like it very much. Washed easier and cleaner than with any soap used be fore. I like it very much. Mrs. Rev. J. D. One of the millions. T who have worked their Way through Jivu Matoba University in a muscular As Well As a mental sense. The University authorities Haa very Sui Blyn a fads to contend with in years in this very particular. To have raised an impossible Standard Over the professions would Likely have been very acceptable to the older provinces hut it not have Beer fair to the honest settler who had brought his boys West to stay with the country. It would have been a rank injustice to the Young men the West and necessarily would have shut out the majority of Young men. Especially in Early Days when men who have done Nobie work in Western Canada. I admit that the three years course was inadequate and that its very in adequacy necessitated its Extension to four years 1 admit that for years the examinations in our University did not compare with universities Long established and heavily endowed but to say because of this that the University examinations were a Dis credit to the province All things con is to deny All fairness and expect an infant to discharge tiie duties of an adult. Ontario Nova Scotia new Brunswick and Quebec fail to produce to Day any More sincere or energetic men in their University affairs than our own City of Winni Peg. The University Council May not meet or. Mcleod s Ideal but they Are men for the most part who have Given this country Long years of Faith Ful service in weather fair and foul. They have struggled with University difficulties in Days much Darker than our own. The financial and educational demands of the several colleges have been no Small Burden to carry As creditably As it has been carried. I need not further say that the instructors added to the colleges in Winnipeg of late years Are men of in fluence ability and recognized Worth. To compare our University Council therefore a or. Mcleod has done with institutions altogether beyond prudence and civilization is unworthy both of the subject and occasion. Room for improvement there undoubtedly is. But any Man who has followed University matters for the last five years knows that the Standard has been lifted As steadily and surely As Justice to the student body would permit. The history of the univer sity of Manitoba i repeat All things considered second to none in Canada taken to Date. Or. also seems to fault the denominational colleges As tyrants of a mediaeval caste arid says it seems an anomaly in this 20th Cen Tury the people of Manitoba should allow the denominations to control the expenditure of provincial funds As Well 6s the higher education of their child i would like to he informed by or. Mcleod to what extent he thinks the people of Manitoba have created their own University. These contemptible denominational colleges so strongly and serenely relegated to mediaeval ism have paid for the great majority of teaching done in the University. The colleges sustain compe ten. Professors in the departments where the government have failed to Supply the University with any teach ing at All. Left to itself without the colleges the provincial University would be a University with i i of great Dav with you limped it he eat dinner with and no in to the denial old Grandfather that Christmas Day is a responds. All the children and grandchildren come to f by Are duly and properly i the Day after Kon. One thing i can surely vouch for and Chat is if one of thy most cheer Ful liars 1 Sver met. It says that Arctic Ravl is Vensic a than Inland travel. I must emphatically say that it is the opposite for i have travelled in the Arctic for four months and also in the Yukon. The reason Why it is a pleasure to travel in the Yukon is on account of the continual of wind though i must say that the temperature is much lower Inland thar. It is in the Arctic yet the winds of the Arctic especially along the coast Are something awful and woe betide the Man who is caught in an Arctic blizzard. They come without War Ling and so suddenly that it is next to impossible to live much travel. In Florino the consequences if this were caught in such a storm which often lasts from three to five Days. It would to impossible to Uiki an Igloe mow the dogs Aiso would refuse to travel. As to their depending on Gamo for food i am afraid they will often go hungry to bed the Only game to be found in the Arctic in Winter Are seals and Polar bears but i Don t think they wander very far from the coast. Pelletier says that no game exists on the Barren Tundra. Anybody who has Ever hunted on the Barren lands will Tell you that the Caribou Are As num Erous As the Buffalo used to be on our Prairies. Then again he condemns the use of fur clothing Well he had better take my advice and Wear them. I can Tell him that he will not sweat him self to death. It is the Only clothing suitable for Arctic travel. Lelroy Pelletier is no More going to look for the North pole than i am j he is going after notoriety and he will surely get what he is after. In spite of the failure which will surely await him his idea is a Prood one but it must be done on s. Much larger scale at inst ten dogs to each . I think the pole will soon be discovered. It will be through the Aid of dogs going by Way of Point Barrow the most northerly Point of while even to break of Day so he de it is evident Here that it was in the evening after the jewish Sabbath had med and the first Day of the week had begun As the jews reckoned when the disciples came to Gether to break bread. This was customary with them at Troas no doubt and probably so with the churches generally. We have Here three facts recorded Viz 1. It was on saturday evening when the disciples came together and the meeting continued till break of Day. 2. They came together to break Oread. 3. Paul left Troas in the morning sunday and started on foot on his journey to Assas a distance of thirty Miles or More. What the disciples did is not stated. It was not necessary to do so. Of course they went to their Homes and their Ordinary occupations losing but one Day s work instead of two i. E., if rest were compulsory on the jews Sabbath. If or. Mcmillan cannot explain away these three facts he will have to look elsewhere than in the new testament for a reason for keep ing the sunday and make material changes in his Way of doing so in order to conform to the precedent of the disciples at Troas which was sanctioned by the presence of Paul himself.

To Sec it 288 saw to i to the editor of the Preo press. Am a member of the i. O. F. I was admitted there was no Cavil raised to my knowledge about my being a jew. As a matter of fact there Are several jews who Are members of the same society. Now this Independent order Mark Well the word is anxious i am told to ostracize the jewish members not from the order but from the society of its Christian members. Not Long ago we read about a Christian minister who would not touch another Christian with a ten foot the reverend gentleman s example is contagious. Now the Christian members of the Independent o. P. Intend to show their in dependence by shoving with a ten foot pole their jewish fellow Mem Bers from their company by com Pelling them to form a Lodge of their own. Do these christians fear contamination or do they wish to prove How Independent they Are How Ever this May he such a measure would come oddly to say the least from a society that issues its Public notices from a Hall dedicated to the memory of certain famous jews. But there perhaps the committee of the Independent o. For is not aware that the a maccabees were jews not Long ago there was another in stance of this Christian Charity which covers such multitudes of sins. A jew held a position in a certain fashionable store. Some Christian patrons of that store quietly hinted to the proprietors thereof that if the venerable Neils Hansen passed away on his Alberta farm.
