ANDREW'S ANNIVERSARY Marked by 1Insp.ring Addresses and Làberal Collection&. Large congregations were presentý at both services of St. Andrew's Preshyterian Cburch Sunday on the occasion of their anniversary. Rev. H. E. Abraham, B.A., of Eglington and Bedford Park Church, Toronto, wvho_ was the special minister for the day delivered two inspiring address- es. Another feature of the services was the music by the choir under the leadership of Mr. R. E. Logan who also sang a solo "Corne Ye Blessed" at the evening service. Mr.0;O.

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, CLEAN UP HOSPITAL FUND Caînpaign for Nurses' Residence to Close End of Month-Far Below Objective. From the acknowledgnients wbich have appeared from time to time in The Statesman it will be seen that a made to the appeal to wipe off the debt on the Nurses' Residence at Bowmanville Hospital. In order to get the campaign cleaned up the Board of Directors has set April30th as the final date for this appeal. It bas been noted and often fav- orably commented on the surprising- ýly large number of out-of-town friends, mostly former residents, who have contributed to this fund. Theirl donations were particularly appre- ciated. As for the town folk and rural citizens in the immediate vicinity they were naturally expected to give anyway, as the benefits and privi- leges of the hospital are always at their disposai. In reading the list of donations one sizes up the liberality, or other- wise, of the griver, so comment is un- necessary. MINISTERS AND CHURCHES Florence Nighitingale Lodge, No. 66.

Wliile there are many things to discourage the work- ers, there were many evidences that the Chinese Christian Church bas corne through this severe trial a better and puier body o! woîkers. Miss Harris stated that while the agitatons compîised only about 25% o! the people they succeeded in in-I fluencinL, and stirring up a gret many more. In the afteînoon during the Sun- day School session Miss Harris gave a very informative talk to about 100 women and girls o! the senior bible classes, speaking more paticularly o! the 75 % o! the people o! China. She described the paît that the Chinese soldiers took in that land. Unlike our soldiers o! being pro- tectors o! the people they are the very opposite and tbey live by de- manding large sunis o! money froni the people, looting their homes and in other ways impoverishing those who though living in a land ich in agri- culture, etc., are kept poor because o! the inefficient laws.
