"Bob Hampton of Placer" #8 adapted from the Randall Parrish story of the same name. It presents on the screen an absorbing story of romance and adventure in the thrill- ing days of American frontier history, as a gripping climax General Cus- ter's famous last stand against Sit- ting Bull and his Indian hordes is reproduced. The ride of the Ku Klux Klan in D. W. Griffith's mas- terful production, "The Birth of a Nation," carried no greater thrill than the savage charge of the Sioux against Custer and his gallant little band in "Bob Hampton of Placer."

G. Caswell at the Holiness Movement church on Sunday afternoon, Mr. Caswell, who has spent ten years in the work in China, gave a goodly audience a | wealth of information of the needs of that. field and ther difficulties which { address the Chinese in 'their own language and receive a sympathetic hearing. Mr. Caswell was assisted by his wife and little son, Lloyd, who sang a song in Chinese. A generous offering for the work was received. , In the course of his remarks Mr. "Caswell deplored some of the condi- tions in Canada, speaking in partic- ular of the style of the ladies' fash- ions now popular with the women. He stated that whereas in heathen China the women in the hottest wea- ther dress in gowns that reached from the neck to the ankles; here in civilized Canada it is so different. He regretted that where the light of the gospel has shone the people have fallen so far short of what they ought to be. Mr. Caswell] left for China in 1910 and after arriving in the country was gompelled to make a four hun- dred mile journey up the river with pne English companion and only one Chinese word, that for "don't under- stand," in his vocabulary. The study years when trying to master the language are the hardest for the missionaries to endure. At one time they were faced with three hundred Chinese who came to drive them out of the city but the party was dis- persed. But after many years of per- secution they finally won the confi- dence of the Chinese people in the district and were privileged to as- sist in conversion of the men in Gen- eral Feng's army. The speaker told of the great work that had been done 'with this army, which when he left had three thousand Christians in its ranks.
