LIFE IN AFRICA 15 DESCRIBED Miss Garrett Gives Interest- ing Address to Local Society (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 6.--A rare treat was afforded those who braved the inclement weath op Friday evening and attended the meeting of St. Paul's Junior Missionary Society held in the Lecture Room when Miss Garrett gave an address on Africa. Those who heard Miss Garrett when she spoke here on a former occasion were looking forward to an interest- ing and instructive evening and were not disappointed. Miss Garrett's ex- tensive travelling and personal con- tact with the people and conditions about which she speaks, placed her in a position to present her subject in a most vivid manner. Then too, her charming personality and beau- tiful language made a strong appeal to her audience and one could do no- thing else but listen attentively. In her opening remarks Miss Gar- rett paid high tribute to David Liv- ingston and his wonderful work in Africa and said that of all the monu- ments in Westminster Abbey, the one that appealed most strongly to her was the small, black slab in the floor on which was inscribed, "Car- ried by Faithful Hands Over Land and Sea. David Livingston." Miss Garrett then described her trip through Africa, telling of the great dangers encountered in travelling, sometimes having to be carried on the back of a native across a river, and other thrilling experiences, She also told of the great work that had been done and still to be done and urged everyone to do their utmost to send the gospel to that wonderful country. A vote of thanks was moved by Miss Percy, seconded by Mrs, Geo. Chase and presented to Miss Garrett by Rev. D, W. Best, D.D., who also added a few remarks of appreciation of the delightful and instructive ad- dress to which all had listened with much pleasure. Mrs. W, Ross Strike, Miss Florence Werry and Miss Spar- go expressed the thanks of Trinity Y.W, Auxiliary, who were guests of the Junior Missionary Society, for the invitation to the meeting and the opportunity of hearing Miss Garrett. During the evening a chorus by the Sunday: School choir and a duet by Mrs. Chas, Rice and Mrs, Alex Col- ville, were much enjoyed.

LIFE AFTER DEATH [5 PASTOR'S THEME Rev. C. E. Cragg Speaks on "Five Minutes After Death" BA... That human beings are in a vividly conscious state in another world im- mediately after death; that they re- cognize each other in a spiritual re- cognition; that they think and pray for the people left on earth and can commune with people on the earth; and that they retain the same rela- tionship towards God that they had ¢ ing," "I'll Sing to You," and the fav- orite, "The World is Waiting for the on earth, were some of the deduc- tions of Rev. C. E. Craig of King several So Thankful for Relief She Received DODD'S KIDNEY Street United Church in his sermon last evening on "Five Minutes after Death." Rev. Mr. Cragg stated emphatically that he did not think that the souls of men stayed in a deep sleep until the judgment day, as many people believed. He quoted many passages of scripture to show that the souls of people were vividly conscious im- mediately after leaving the earthly ody. Each would recognize mem- bers of his family, his friends and also the patriarchs of the past, in a spiritual recognition, although their bodies would be different from the earthly body, Rev. Mr. Cragg said. Dealing with the question of com- munication between people on earth and those in the next world, the speaker said that he believed that it was possible and said that the Bible supported this belicf. A mother, for instance, would, he believed, think of and pray for her children left on earth, The speaker also said that a man who was on the right terms with God on earth would remain on right terms with Him in heaven, while a man who had not lived the highest life on carth would be tormented in the next world with remembrances of his misdoings in this life. A capacity crowd filled the church to overflowing for the service, and splendid music was given by the choir, There are still forty speeches to be delivered on the budget at Ottawa. And yet about all that could be said has been said. --St. Catharines Stand- ard.
