In British Columbia Described "By J. M. Miller, St. Andrews Young Women's Aux- fliary was addressed by Mr. J. M. Miller of Queen's University, who spent the summer in the mission field at Ootsah Lake, B.C, Some of the actual facts of home mission work were given, gid in his introductory remarks he told of the immense distance in northern British Columbia where séttiers in many cases live ten miles from any road. Considering the unbounded -hospita- lity of the people, Mr. Miller stated that really no hardship was endured on the part of mission workers. The subject chosen was "Condi- tions ag Our Church Sees It In Northern British Columbia," where- in Mr. Miller picturgd a four-hun- dred mile circle in which only five Presbyterian churches are to be found. In southern British Colum- bia churches are very scarce, but in most interesting comparison was drawn between the presbytery of Kingston and one in British Colum- bia, giving a fair idea of the tremen- dous field covered, by so few work- h tribute was pald to Mr. d Mr. McCrimmon, (whose ation have from necessity bees ackepted) for their successful k. and endlessse Mentiofi | xu 'also made of Mr. Ashford, who || has had such wonderful success with his church at McBride.

World Develdpment Of the Telephone In the development of telephones and telegraphs, according to the lat- est statistics on world conditions in these important industries compiled by the statistical department of the Bell system, Canada occupies a very creditable position, Only the United States, of all the nations of the earth, exceeds this Dominion in the number of telephones per hundred of population,' and next to us comes Denmark afd then far-off New Zea- land. The figures for the leaders in telephone development are: United States 13.1 telephones per hundred inhabitants; Canada 10.4; Denmark 8.3; New Zealand 8.1; Sweden 6.6; Norway 5.8; Australia 4.6; Switzerland 4.3; Germany 3.5; Netherlands 2.6; Great Britain 2.3. In the matter of miles of telephone wire in use per hundred inhabitants, our position is even more favorable --aided n odoubt by the great dis- tances our western telephone sys- tems must traverse. here are: 2 _ Canada 28.5 miles per hundred inhabitants; New Zealand, 19.5; Denmark, 19 miles; Sweden, 14.2; United States, 33.9. Among fifty of the world's largest cities, as of January 1st, 1928, To- ronto" stood ninth in point of tele- hone development, being credited with 19.2 telephones per hundred inhabitants, In this list Omaha, Neb., with 28 is given first place. Ottawa with 18.3 telephones would be well up, but is apparently too small in population to be included in this particular list. Montreal with 10.4 telephanes per hundred of popu- lation is in'the fitteenth" place.
