People who have painful, enlarged veins shuuld not negleat them for they sometirnes burst and cause mauch misery and expense. Moune's Emerald Oil besides being suo marvelouzly antispectic that it des- troys germs and poisons caused by germs is such a remarkable healing agent that eczema, barbers' itch, saît rheumn and oCher inflammatory skia eruptions go in a f ew days.

Gibson, was received1 by Mrs. W. H. Anderson, Secretaryt of Newcastle St. George's Women's Auxiliary and read by ber at the January meeting- Saugur, C. P., India November 25th., 1926. (Continued from last week) Twenty-four hours by rail from Bombay brought us to Saugor, a city of 3500, a military centre, and destined for sorne tirne at least, to bet our horne. A missionary convention1 was in session so there were a good1 number to welcome us. Dr. andi Mrs. Keay's bungalow is just out sidet the city and is situated on a hili from which you may look over Saugor, the1 lake on which it ie situated and the( surrounding country. The eleva-1 tien is about 2000 feet and for this1 reason it ie a very good climate here. Dr Keay is the Superintendent of thel entire field and he bas already woni our esteem. Our bungalow is undergoing some repair su we are with the Keay's but expect to be in our own home in a couple of weeks. The English bouses are aIl large, thick-wialled, and white inside and out. They are kept freshly white- washed and so are very white, and really quite artistic wîth their huge pillared verandahs. The servants are not too energetic and because of the Indian caste system they refuse te do any work other than their par- ticular line, hence many of them are employed by each household. For- tunately you can get a cook for about $7.00 a month, and, of course, they have their own lodge or quart- ers and provide their own food. But ail is not ail joy. They require very close supervision lest they neglect to boil the drinking water or else a'p- propriate some of your food stuif. What shah I1 say of the people in general? "The East is the East and the Wçst is the West and neyer the twain shall meet", seeme to be true. People! People! People-with water pots and burdens on their heads,, leadin.g goats, driving ox-carts, beg- ging, salaaming and bartering. if you desire a real thrill drive your car through an Indian bazaar. The first day Mr. Gibson drove I alrnost had nervous prostration. The people certainly aren't nervous. Mrs. Keay and I went o'ut twelve miles to an Hindu village on Tues- day. It was quite dlean-as à people they are quite so-but the sick ones that they brought to us were heart rending. They have no idea how to care for themn. Most of them receive you gladly and listen in- tently. Only the Brahmen or priests don't hesitate to say you are a devil and urge the people not to listen to Yeu. Another day we ail went to a me- lee or religious festival. They had corne by the thousands to cleanse themeelves from sin in a rnuddy hole and then give their offering to, the priest in charge of the idol. Dr. Keay preached and we sold testa- ments. Some women carrying littie children and walked twenty miles. We are having rnost delightful weather. It is the winter season and one sleeps comfortably with three blankets and a bot water bot- tle. In the day time I enjoy a woollyi dress. In March it begins to geti bot and continues bot and dry for three months; then cornes the ramn and season of great growth. We have hegîun our language study. Findi it is called. Each of us bas a undit or teacher. As yet my vocabulary is much limited. In April we go to the bills and se es- cape the heat and also attend a very good language echool. This year we rnay stay for four months but after thse firet year there are only six weeks holîdays. This week is the Cburch Assernbiy at Nagpur- day's journey from bore. Dr. Keay and Mr. Gibson are in attendance. Now 1 muet stop with very best wishes for the varjous societies. Much moro work could be accomplished if there were more in the field; aise much prayer is needed. !Pray for us constantly and pray that the ligbt of the gospel of Christ may dispel the darknees of India. Very sincerely yours Cor& Hepburn Gibson. Russell G. McLean, Vancouver, su- loist and instructor in singing, who was known te a number of the music- loving people of Bowmanville, died in a Vancouver Hospital frorn double pneumonia. Mr. MeLean sang as. a boy soprano in St. Janmes Cathedral, Toronto, and was also a member of the staff of the Toronto Conservatory of Music.
