5 y , April nesday, April (From Our Own Correspondent.) April 12.--The congregation of Grace Methodist church celebrated the eighty-fourth anniversary of the opening of that church yesterday. Rev. Prof. W. A. Gifford, M.A., Th.D. of the Wesleyan Theological Collage, "Montreal, occupied the pulpit at Both morning and evening services, and was assisted by the pastor, Rev. W. Si:Lennon and by Rev. William Henderson. The financial committee made a request for an offering of $860, a sufficient amount to close the year, with all accounts paid, and as usual the congregation rose to the occasion and delivered the goods. "The choir added materially to the en- joyment of the day with a fine pro- gramme of special music, including solos by Miss Gussie Dempster and Bennie Case at the morning service, and by Mrs. L. R. Stedman, Miss Sadie Meggs and Eldon Staebler in the evening. Another pleasing feat- ure of the anniversary was that fol- lowing a precedent established seve- ral years ago, the congregation of St. Andrews, Presbyterian church, give up their evening service to worship with the sister congregation. This filled the church to the overflow limit. Lieut. J. R. McCullough, who en- listed and went overseas with the 166th Leeds and Grenville Battalion in October, 1918, arrived in Halifax 'on the Carmania'on Monday last, and arrived here the latter part of the week for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert C.

How Crooks Make Money With Currency. Operative treatment by surgery has been rather popular during recent years with practitioners interested in dealing illegitimately with the cur- rency. The appearance in large numbers of $1 bills "raised" to an apparent denomination of $20 is typical, the best specimens of this kind having figures neatly inlaid. "If one asks where the money-doctors get the nice + figures the answer is that they cut them out of internal revenue stamps. Counterfeits of any kind are so infrequently seen nowadays that even bank tellers do not look closely at the cash they handle. If paper money has an elderly and worn appearance it is particularly likely to pass without scrutiny. Manifestly it has been long in circulation, and this in itself seems a sufficient guarantee. It is, therefore, the business of the counterfeiter to make his notes look old and worn. He has several meth- ods, but the best is to place between ,| two of them some wet tea leaves in Notice to Contractors PURSUANT to the requirements of Canada Highways Act separate ier tenders marked "Tender for Con- 'ownship of ' oe 55, Cutverts Tey will be received by on undersigned until 12 o'clock noon on mesday, May 5th, 1920, for the excavation, construction of concrete structures and other necessary work in the following Townships. ¥ Section Section wp "Eo "A. fn pecifications and.

Not very long ago in Philadelphia an ingenious fémale per- son made a highly profitable busi- ness of gouging out the insides of $20 pieces. With a tiny drill, driven by steampower, she bored a hole from one edge, extracted $15 worth or so of metal, filled the cavity with lead and neatly plugged the opening with gold. Just like that. Basy money. » She might have gone on with this remunerative industry indefinitely but for the fact that the treated coins were unduly light, lead being only about half as heavy as gold. She was sent to jail--a fate which liketise befell two Chinamen in Chicago who adopted the more artistic and difi- terior, filling the shell with lead and soldering on a thin rim of gold, the coin being finally "rereeded" in a machine to give it the requisite cor- rugations around the edge. A number of years ago a clever crook hit upon the notion of gutting gold coins and filling them with platinum, which gave them about the requisite weight. Platinum at that time was worth only half as much as gold. But at the present time, when its market price is five times that of money-surgeon pedient available.

The Late Mrs. R. C. Irwin. Mary Elliott, widow of the late Captain Robert Chamberlain Irwin, passed away at her residence, 79 Colborne. Street, on Sunday after- noon, after an ilness of one week. The deceased was the daughter of the late William Elliott, and was born in Kingston fifty-one years ago, and lived here all of her life. She was a woman of strong sympathetic na- ture and was ever doing a kindly ser- vice for others. Her death is keenly felt in a wide circle of friends, and on every hand are heard expressions of regret and sympathy for the be- reaved family. Her husband prede- ceased her several years ago, but she is survived by four sons, Jack, Wil- liam, Ellott and Robert, and two daughters, Jane and Loraine, Her illness was aggravated by anxiety caused by the war, for three of her at the front. ' Elliott, her youngest son, was the youngest recruit who left Kingston for the war, going with the 33rd Battery. He was wound- ed, but made a good recovery. The deceased is also survived by three brothers, Henry Elliott, of New York, George, of Buffalo, and James, of Kingston. The funeral takes place from her late residence to St. Paul's Church, of which she was a promin- ent member, at two p.m., Wednesday, where the service will be conducted by Canon Fitzgerald.

GEORGE'S PREACHED SUNDAY EVENING Rev. W. E. Kidd a Pleasing Speaker ----Rev. A. Brown of New Bruns- wick Acting Pastor of Calvary Church, Major the. Rev. W. E: Kidd, M.C... late of the chaplain services C.E.F., who has been appointed curate at St. George's cathedral, preached his in- troductory sermon on Sunday even- ing. Mr. Kidd possesses a pleasing voice and is a forceful and earnest speaker. He created a very favorable impression. The theme chosen was most appro- priate to the day and"the ion, showing the doctrine upon which the Christian church is founded, and the responsibility of being a minister of Christ. In a most eloquent sermon he proclaimed the gospel of the remis- sion of sins and immorality through faith in Christ's resurrection. He took for his text Acts II: 36-- "There fore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ." The verse is taken from St. Peter's sermon on the -day of Pentecost to the people of Jeru- salem,. in which he announced Christ's resurrection apd the remis- sion of sins through faith in Him. Thé speaker drew a vivid picture of the apostle on that great occasion, of his faith and burning zeal as he bold- ly proclaimed a risen Christ to the world for the first time in fulfill- here that he laid the foundation of the church, and his message comes to: us today with the' same power. The apostle had a deep sense of the responsibility of being a witness of Christ, and that same responsibility rests upon the church and ministry to-day. The speaker dwelt upon the efficacy of faith in Christ and the potency of His power in every con- the life!" was the great message to all conditions of men; and to all who fulfillment of the highest ideals of life, and gave of their best, there was the certainty of reward. At Calvary. Church. At the Sunday evening service in Calvary Congregational church, Rev. Adolphus Brown of New Brunswick, was the preacher. In a clear and sim- ple way he told the story of the éross, and the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ pointing out that there is no heaven for the soul that will not be- lieve in Him. All men need a saviour as we.are all sinners in his sight, and the man who lives for God is the man who can stand erect and be not afraid. Riches and fame are not to be compared to a Christ that can save us from our sins. In his closing remarks Mr. Brown pointed out that if we would but do our part God would surely do His. As Calvary church is at present without @ minister, Mr. Brown has kindly consented to fill the pulpit for the next few months and the con- gregation are looking forward to some very interesting services as Mr. Brown is a broad minded and syfapa- thetic speaker, and Calvary is indeed very fortunate im securing him as pastor, S------------------ You pay exhobitant toll on the devil's highway.
