church, with about a-dozen representatives in China, was a natural meeting place for the Chinese Sunday schools for a pleasant and profitable evening yesterday, \u2018though the absence, through illness, of the large-hearted and mis- sionary-spirited pastor, the Rev.Dr.Mowatt, was much regretted.There was a largely attended and fully representative audience of teachers, scholars and friends, led by most of the superintendents, Messrs.Rodger, Cayford, Grimson, Nairn, Wilson, Gordon, Patterson, Paton, Smart, Burch- more, Miss King and other officers.Dr.Welsh presided felicitously, as usual, until he was obliged to leave, when a chairman cereatly interested in the work was found in the Rev.Mr.Fowler, of Stanley Street Church.The presence of the Rev.Dr.Ward- rope, no less a friend of this than of every good cause, acrompanied by Mrs.G.A.Grier, the president of the Woman's Missionary Society, which so generously aids the mission to the nalive districts of the Montreal Chinese, was an honor, and his opening prayer a benediction.The Scripture passage was read in English, then 4n Chindse, by the, president of the Chi: nese Christian Association, who \u2018commented appropriately on the meaning of Ohristmas, a later speaker emphasizing from Psalm 90:12, the importance of a newness of life for the New Year.Songs, Scripture reading and Tecitations followed, though the Korean Christian\u2019s attempt caused some amusement.Mandolin and flute solos by Messre.Dempster and Steele were as usual with instrumental selections, much enjoyed by the Chinese, while Miss Mowatt was the efficient pianist of the evening.Mr.Chan Seng, missionary helper, told in English and Chinese of the good work of the mission during 1910, at home and abroad, Pr.Thomson and the Rev.Mr.Fowler adding words of encouragement for the new year.Mr.Cayford led in an earnest prayer in behalf of the \u2018work and workers at home and a:road.: Afterwards all were, through the kindness of the Erskine Church Chinese Sunday-school teachers, served with enjoyable refreshments.er SECRETARY-TREASURER CAN CONDUCT CASE.An interlocutory jud-ment rendered by Mr.Justice Lafontaine has established that a

And he asked: \u2018Art thou going to ride on the heath?\u2018I hope you'll protect me, kind sir,\u2019 said the maid, As to ride this heath over I am sadly afraid, For robbers, they say, here in numbers abound, And 1 wouldn't for anything 1 should be found;
