Dr. Hanson, Montreal, Officiated In St. Andrew's, and Two Queen's Professors in Zion. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the dedication of the present St. An- drew's' Church edifice and the 1iith auniversary of the founding of St. Andrew's was celebrated on Sunday by special serviees conducted by Rev, George Hanson, M.A, D.D., of Ers- kine Chureh, Montreal Dr. Han- son Is a very brilliant speaker and gave splendid sermons at both sers vices. Im\the evening he chose as his text, Hebrews II, 6, 9: "What is man? . , , We gee Jesus." The speaker first dealt with the virtues and transgressions of man and mankind. Man had been able to construct wonderful works, using sclence 'and art in their structure. He had made many great inventions after deep thought. But men had also at times become almost beasts [in their conduct and morals. Man. was a peculiar being, a mix- ture of both the qualities of Hea- ven and hell. Mankind is the image of God and is recognized as the highest of all animals. Though the image' of God, men are not chris tians. The speaker told a stor: pf his visit to an east-side missi n in New York which proved that regard- less of how long a person had liv- ed an unchristian life or how de- praved fe had become, he had al- ways thé chance to become a chris- tian, 5 'The special musical programme consisted of the following: Morning, 24th- Psalm, tunes, Sheffield and St. Georges' Edinburgh; Te Deum by Jackson; anthem; "Hear Our Pray- er," (Farmer) solo parts taken by Miss Chalmers, Miss Craig, Mr. Tom kins and Mr. Archer. Evening, solo by Miss Chalmers, "These Are = They," 'from Gaul's "Holy City," a particularly fine num- ber; also an anthem, "A ' Sanctus," 'by Gounod. Mr. Tomkins {aking the solo part. Zion Church Anniversary. The twenty-fourth anniverfary of Zion Presbyterian Church, Pige streét, was observed on Sunday: Prof. BE. P. Seott, D.D., was the preacher at the evening service and took as his text, Psalm exvili: 22- 23, "The stone which the mrilders refused is become the head stone of the werner. This is the Lord's do- ing; it is marvellons in our eyes." The chief. point. of Prof. Scott's disepurse centred upon the building up of the Israelite nation. The stone referred to in the building of the temple corresponds 'to this 'nation, which although at first rejectéd, has become the chief stone init. All the time, said the speaker, God had been building according: to his own plans and all others not in harmony with Hig have been rejected. «Prof. Willian Morgan, D.D.," was dnd gave an interesting discourse RECORD SHIPMENT Made From A Canadian Vehiclé Fac- i tory, At Oshawa.

Gimblett, of the third artillery-brigade, CEF., a son of Jdeut, W, Gimblett, of the R.C.H.A., | writes an exceedingly interesting let- ter to one of the Whig staff, The letter is dated Jan. 23rd, and in part reads: "The Kingston boys who volunteer- 'ed from the 'fighting fifth' (5th Field battery) are now scattered pretty well all over the artillery division. The strength of the artillery batter- ies was cut from six to four guns, and this reduction meant that one gec- tion of each had to be transferred. Instead of letting, the Kingston see- tion of the 3rd battery go as a whole, Major R. H. Britton kepi some of them with him, and. the remainder, with a few of the Gananoque boys, went to the newly-formed 12th Bat- tery in command of Major Leofara, Major Leonard had a few of his Len- don men in the depot battery ahd trapsferred some of us to the depo battery, replacing his men. Every person seems to haye been shifted around in this re-organization. "I have just returned after a five days +visit in London. I was much struck by the politeness and hospital- ity of all classes of the English peo- ple and they did not seem to be able to do too much for a soldier and par- ticularly a Canadian soldier. Iam glad to be able to say that to the best of my knowledge none of the Kingston boys héve diggraced them- selves as did nfany others, that you havé no~doubt heard about already. "When I returned to the camp, } haa difficuity in -finding my battery as it. had been shifted off the plains and billeted in the various villages within a few miles of West Down, North Camp. Believe me it is fine to be in a house after being on the plains of foot-deep mud and a con- tinual down-pour of rain. The time spent on the plains was hard on both the men and horses, and although the latter are picking up now, for a while one would not recognize them as the fine animals that left Canada The men were troubled with bronchi tis, chillblains and colds, but every: "one took these little misfortunes phi- losephically. It is a quaint old place where I am staying, the houses heing all ald siraw-thatched eotiazes.
