In the morning, the Pastor, the Rev. A. A. Smith, B.A.. spoke of the many blessings and opportunities for which Canadians should be truly thankful. He also stressed what he considered the duty of members of all religious bodies in relation to immigration.

He was one bag short, and W,illie volunteered to go for one. Willie Jade for the house which was across the highway and apparently did not heed i he cars until quite close to the pavement when he saw one coming from the West. In his sudden stop, he slipped and fell partly on the pavement, the car pulling out in time to avoid striking him. Mr. Morgan, who was driving from the other direction saw the lad fall and immediately applied his brakes, but Willie darted across directly in front and was struck down and run over before Mr. Morgan could bring his car to a standstill.
