P. R. Contract. On the 21st of October, 1880, the contract for the, first transcontinental railway in Canada the Canadian! Pacific Ratlway was signed and seal- | ed.

Next year an Act was passed outlining the conditions| upon which a private company might build the line. The first agreement, de with Sir Hugh Allan, resulted the defeat of the Canadian Govern- ment under Sir John Maedonald. But another was made and work was be- gun 'soon after on various separated sections of the railway between the east and the west. But % was not until 1880 that the contract for the com- pleted road was signed, the agree~ ment being ratified a year later by Act of Parliament, the last spike be- There's something wrong with the Christian who shrinks from the world's criticism.
