At one time Mrs. McKinnex was elected to a seat in the Alberta legislature, and is repeatedly sent as delegate to conventions and meetings of na- tional and international importance. For the Sabbath evening's discourse, she chose as text, Romans 8.28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God." She said' in part, "Persona testimony carries great weight; Christian testimony carries great weight., Perhaps we are getting away from it too much, these days. "Know" implies firm assurance, no assumption but a great fundamental truth, so come sickness or health, come poverty or wealth, come power or abagement--it matters not; all things work together for good to the Christian. Just as the seed contains the potentialities of the future hare vest, and storms as well as sunshine are necessary for the perfection of the fruitage so individuals p latent powers and abilities capable of development to a marvellous ex- tent and adverse circumstances, as well as the congenial are imperative. God needs human instrumentality te carry out His divine plan. He has a place and a use for each in His all-wise providence." heels. -- $1.00 -- Ladies' White Can- vas Shoes, trimmed with Black Patent Straps. Sizes 3 to 7. -- $1.00 -- Rebekah Branch Formed.
