Miss Butterfield todk as her sub- Jeet, "The Mahommedan Problem of Palestine." and gave a very thrilling account of the mission work being carried on in the Holy Land. "There re 760,000 people in Palestine" said the speaker, "of which 78 per ceat. are- Mshommedans. There are aw welve so-called Christian sects pu: most of them are very wicked amd indifferent, and not like the Cnr ians we kpow. These Christian sect and the | ommedans are now un- ited under the name of the Mahom- medan Christian Association, - and thelr chief object is to try and keep the Jew out of Palestine. As they are seeking at all time to keep the the Christians divided, this mukes the work of the missionary very bard. There are 226 billion Mahom- medans in the world to-day praying to the Angad Discord to confound their epemies. They recognize no Trinity, and bit one God, and taav cne Mahommed. How it is that Satan gets control of these' bilnions of people whosesreligion comes from without the pit? And what are we Christians doing about it?

The contract calls for the completion of thé work by Aug- aust 1st, I am advisid by Mr. Oster- berg that he intends to commence work next week." The successful tender has done _conriderable work in the province of Ontario, having worked on the Canadian' Pacific Lake shcre line from Belleville to Ottawa. The most of the machinery which will be used in the building of the new roadway is at Halifax but will be brought to Collin's Bay at once. Some me- chinery is in Montreal, and Mr. Os- terberg is in that city this week ar- ranging for the transfer.

LAWYERS GROW RICH ON IMMIGRANTS' FEES Den of Thieves "Represent Themselves Able to Control Influence of Congressmen.

This building, he®said, is known as a '"'den of forty thieves," and the lawyers in this "den" are growing rich by taking fees from the friends of immigrants by telling them that they are influential with members of Congress, and can get the immigra- tion restrictions lifted. "I know of one case," said Repre- sentative Johnson, "where friends of an immigrant were told that for $1,000 the mfiuence of a certain member of the House could be had | to get the immigrant into the coun- try under bond. I know that the member of the House had no know- ledge of this matter, These lawyers got the money and got the man in under bond, without ever going near the representative whose influence they claimed they could obtain." The practice of lawyers of taking money from friends of immigrants on the plea that their influence with members of Congress will make it possible to get friends admitted even though the quotas are filled, is wn evil which is growing up not. only in New York but in other sea- board cities, Mr. Johnson said. He added that his bill, which authorizes the consular office to examine the applicants abroad and determine whether they are eligible, and can be admitted under the restriction, would. do away with it. "Among the worst duped of the naturalized citizens are the Armen- fans," Mr. Johnson concluded. "In New York there are a number of lawyers who are taking big fees from these people . when they know full well they can do nothing for them." PREMIER BRUCE'S POLICY.
