On this journey we saw our first rice fields. These were flooded gardens from one Quarter to half an acre in size. The rice was just being cut with sickles by hand. It looks like short hay with tops more like oats than any thing else I know of. The scenery was beautiful rice fields in the valley, and the small hills covered with ever-green. cedar, fir and pine with tea gardens in some places.

After supper we saw: the Canadian Methodist Central Taber- nacle, a large church which holds about 600 people. It is near the im- perial University, and there is a splendid opportunity of reaching some of these 5000 students. We also walked through the University grounds which are very extensive, 60 acres very beautiful. After day, however, we could not see much, a nights rest being very welcome after so full a day. After a splendid rest we were up. in time to catch our train for Koho at 8 what they can to. increase the mem- bership of their association, There is a wide field of work for such an organization in this locality.
