The boat was convey- ed to the harbor by truck from Oshawa and the process of launch- ing proved quite simple on account of its lightness, the weight of the speedy little craft' being hardly greater than that of a canoe. The sea-flea is propelled through the water by means of an outboard motor and can attain a remarkble speed. The boat might be compar- ed to a miniature hydroplane as it races through the water with bow upraised. The sport of sea-flea racing has become very popular in many seaside and lakeshore cities and there is an increasing demand for boats of this type. Saturday's test was in prepara. tion for the official launching of several boats which will take place at the harbor on Saturday, April 6th. Harbormaster J. Watson was an interested spectator at the de- monstration.

Williams Speaks in the United _ Church (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar. 26.--The story of the triumph of the Gospel in For- mosa was told in interesting fash- fon by Rev. George A. Williams, field mission secretary for the Bay of Quinte Conference, who preach- ed before a large congregation in the United Church, yesterday morn- ing. Rev. Mr. Williams had spent several years working among the natives of Formosa and followed in the footsteps of the famous Rev. Mr, MacKay. 4 The speaker pointed out that at the present time there 'are 200 churches in the island administered to by a staff of educated and cul tured native preachers. All exe- cutive positions, he claimed, were occupied by native ministers. Pres .ent conditions were in striking con trast.to those found by McKay, who was in constant danger of his life during the early part of his ministry. Through the medium of the missionaries' efforts, enlight- ment had come to this heathen people and they forsook their can- nibalistic tendencies to live Christ fan lives. Rev. Mr. Williams. cited an in- stance where he had become in- terested in the condition of a poor leper woman and on his return to Canada had told of the suf- fering of thesé people. As a result a group of women organ- ized in Toronto and through their assistance a leper hospital was es- tablished. Declaring that 26 young women were needed to offer their services in the church 'mission fields, the speaker addressed a special appeal to the students of the Ontario La- dies' College to consider this as a life work. That Christianity brought a so- cial message and not alone a reit- erated plan of personal salvation was stressed by Rev. A. L. Rich- ards in a thoughtful address last night. The bpeaker declared that the church was not just an emo- tional society, but also a body or- ganized in a crusade for a new world and better civilization. The teachings of science which proved that man had existed on earth for thousands of years, brought a new emphasis to the teachings of the church and a change in viewpoint, the speaker affirmed. At the present time the words of Jesus were being given more and more prominence by thinking people and it was realiz- ed that Christ was convinced that a new kingdom should come on earth, In order that the coming of this kingdom might be hastened, the pastor urged that men and women regard each other as brothers and sisters and that sectarian "shibo- leths" be dropped. He urged his hearers to live sacrificially and re- ferred to the lives of John Wesley, and Mrs. Bramwell Booth, both of whom had done much for the ad- vancement of true Christianity. REV. G. WKINNON T0 HEAD MISS'ARY TRAINING SCHOOL Will Be Held at the Ontario Ladies' College from July 3 to 10 (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Mar. 26.--Rev.
