As to the equipment he will report as he has done for several) years, viz.,, that he hasn't neaely enough hose and that another (ngine is reguired. \ The fire committee is composed of Aid.

Sherbrooke, Que., Feb. 8.~One of the mail clerks on the Megantic-Sher- brooke run stated, to-day, that a pe- culiar phenomenon was observed | around Megantic on Friday morning. | The surface of the snow was covered with a dark gray deposit. It has the| appearance of a very fine dust that might have come from some distant voleanic eruption. On taking a plate full of the snow into the house and melting it, there was left on!the plate a thick deposit of quite black parti cles of dark sooty dust. Such a thing was never 'observed in that vicinity and may well be called black snow.

Childerhose, B.A., super: intendent of Presbyterian missions for Northern Ontario, on Sunday after- noon in convocation: hall. This truth, he said, should be reiter- ated over and over again, in the pres- ent day, because Canada is passing through the period of nation-building. The higher the ideal is which we set, the greater will our country be. The material side 'of life is much in evi- dence, To-day we think of our acres of land, our great forests, our mines of gold amd silver, our railway systems, ete. Our country is bound to play an important part in international ' al- fairs, and, this being true, Canada should be a nation filled with Cana- dians who stand for righteousness. The influences which are largely re sponsible for moulding the nation's life are the press, the school and the church. The Christian church to-day is contributing more to this great énd than people imagine, and the church of Canada is doing her part in set- ting forth this idea of righteonsness in the midst of a great noise--the ex- pansion of trade. Let us not think we have a-great natign because of these things. ! The home missions of Candda are doing, a great work through warioas agents in keeping tHh ideal of the text before the people. In Canada are 600 mission influences, with 3,000 preaching stations. Iw Northern On- there' Rev. S. Childerhose Tells What the Missions for 200,000 People tario the home mission work has all the phases of such work. We have our fishermen, 'our lumbermen, our pro- tors and miners, our farmers, ete. 'hen a man, a prospector, finds a claim he does not examine the whole rock, but examines a piece of it, and analyzes it to find out what it con- tains, In' this: rock of Northern On- tario we have (1) a population of 200,000 people away from home, away from all religious influences. There is bound to be a work of decadence go- ing on unless these people are reached with the gospel of Christ; (2) we have from 40,000 to 50,000 men in lumber camps, and although they are: rough and uncouth; yet they are good-heart- ed and energetic men; (3) there are our railroad men; (4) prospectors and miners; (5) the settlers, and are we to allow all these men in the very heart of eur dominion to be without this idea of righteousness ? Let us show these men. that they have our sympathy, so that they will be lifted up to. a higher level of life. How are we to unite into one great national ideal all these factors? By men of character, men who have a message of truth and can tell it. The great salvation of the north is the strong man with the positive truth of Jesus Christ. Rev. Mr: Childerhose, in . closing, made a very strong plea to young men of strong. convictions to engage in this work, having the courage to surmount - the many difficulties lying in the way, and to build up a nation whose God is the Lord.
