REV. Mn. SMITH, whose skill as a chalk talk artist preceded him, gave the tirsc evidence of his ability to a class of children on Sunday morning last. The subject dealt with South Africa and by a series of questions and answers the development of British influence was graphically pic- tured out.

Next “ORDERED 'ro CHIXA” were the words of a cablegram from India last week to Mr. J. A. Hunter, from his brother Fred in the land of the Hindoos.

" I want to be a soldier ” seems to be the watchword of some of the recent residents of the old town. and with Cecil Gun in South Africa, Fred Hunter, in China, and Frank Irwin in the Philippines, the place gives certain evidence ofa bold military spirit. “wâ€" ALL parties indebted to Wm.

A word of cheer to the struggling soul in life is worth more than the roses of Cristendom piling high over casket covers. The dead can’t smell flowers but the living can; scatter them broadcast in their pathway, therefore, and pluck out the thorns before it is too late.”â€"Ex.

Company’s Shooting Match. Baptist Mission Circle. BANK BOOK LOST. BORN. Durham, Ont., Thursday, July 26,1900. Mr. Watson being introduced, spoke first on the formation of the National .Sanitarium Association, c0pied after the English Association of the same name. To Mr, Gage, the Book Publisher, of Toronto, much credit is due for the organization of the Association and the Muskoka Hospital, now being operated under its auSpices. Mr. Gage contributed $35,000.00 and Mr, Massey a similar sum for that purpose. Muskoka was chosen as a locality in which to place the first HOSpital, because of its_altitude, and consequent medium lightness of‘ atmOSphere. There al- ready nearly, $80,000.00 have been put into land and buildings and plant. The Association, incorporat- ed by act of the Dominion Parliament, is without stockholders, or share- holders, or dividends, or profits, its work being entirely philanthrophic. The treatment at the Sanitarium is simple, consisting of out-door living in the bracing fresh air, and regular good living. Muskoka Hospital completed two years of its history on the 30th of September last. Dur- ing its .first year there were 83 pa- tients treated, 64 of whom were great- ly benefited, and 12 of these were thoroughly cured, that is 15% of cures during its first year. During its second year 99 consumptives were treated and of those 70 were greatly improved, and 21 thoroughly, of these so improved were apparently thoroughly cured, that is 21% of cured during its second year, an in- crease upon its first year of 6%. During the same two years there were over 1,000 applicants for ad- mission refused. Prominent among the reasons for such refusals of ad- mission was the want of funds on the part of the applicants to pay the necessary charges. For that classâ€" the poor consumptivesâ€"some pro- vision is now to be made. An Hos- pital is now being put up to be given up to their care and treatment ex- clusively, and to aid in its continued maintenance an appeal is being made 1 to the public generally throughout Ontario, and it is thought to be the best plan of making such general ap- peal, of making as many as possible of our people aware of the great need’, and of the opportunity to be helpers in this good work, is by form- ing local associations at all the prin- cipal business centres throughout the Province. Already such associa- tions have been formed at many points, with membership averaging about 50. It is hoped that the peo- ple here may see their way to the formation of such associations, it is believed may do much good work, in a variety of ways, they may do Ed- ucational work, removing prejudices and increasing the general intelli- gence as to the curability, the con- tageon and the prevention -of con- sumption; they may be useful in recommending the worthy poor in, each locality for free treatment in’ the Hospital for Consumptives; and they may render valuable service in systematically and regularly looking after contributions towards the treatment of the consumptive poor. It was then “on motion duly seconded and carried, decided that an Association along the lines sug§ested be now formed, and that provisional officers and committees be appointed. Dr. Gun moved, and. Rev. Mr. Smith seconded a vote of thanks to Mr. Watson, which after being spok- en to by Rev. Mr. Farquharson and others was carried, What is the Government doing in this ?- is a very proper question. By an Act passed at the last Session of the Ontario Legislature $1.50 per week per patient is granted towards maintenance ; all beyond that amount must be raised by contribu- tions from the people, and it is found in all communities, that a large num- ber of people are desirous in helping in this. The local Associations, now being formed, will afiord them an opportunity. A suggested plan of‘local organiza- tion is here laid before you. The suggestion is, an Association of reg- ular membership of contributors of $1.00 per year, and life membership of $20.00 contributors. The meeting held in the Town Hall on the evening of Tuesday, the 24th inst, though not very largely attended resulted in important steps being taken to aid in this most worthy enterprise. N. W. Camp- bell, Esq., P. S. I., was appointed chairman, and opened the meeting with a very interesting and appro- priate address, remarking upon the great merit of such a work as the Sanitarium for the treatment of con- sumption, also of the frequency with which he has been a witness of be- reavement resulting from this fell disease; for the great need of .edu- cation as to the contagion, etc. of Consumption the effort he has made as a School inspector along such lines.

Holstein, July '21, 4-pd Shortly after seven o’clock the sides lined up, it being arranged to play forty minutes, in two divisions of twenty minutes each with a rest. During the first half of the game, though Durham juStly claimed one goal the umpire not being sure de- cided otherwise. The two Sides again started and in about two min- utes the vociferous yells announced agoal for the home team, the ball being slipped between the standards by Allie McIntyre. There was no dispute this time and soon the strug- gle re-commenced, the visitors strain- ing every nerve and putting forth every energy to gain a point, but it was no go. Again the hall went through the visitors’ goal, Doug. Mung doing the trick, and an: other cheer louder than before annonnced another victory. With increased determination the vis- itors went. to work again but it was no use: the Durham boys were too many for them, and Tom Carson knocked the bottom out of their hopes by running another ball be- tween the flags. The game was friendly throughout and the visitors, some of them, did nice playing, but it was easily seen from the start that they were no match for our boys. The official score was three straights, though our boys claim four. The Walkerton boys are no mean competitors and no doubt after a few years’ practice they’ll be able to put ut) a prett5 nice game. Dr. McNamara was referee Jim Park and â€"--â€"--â€" Whitlock umpires. The Walkerton Lacrosse Boys came over Monday afternoon last to play a return match with our boys on the grounds here. A week ago on the Walkerton grounds the game re- sulted in a tie of 1-1 and the breaking of the tie was the determined object of both sides. '1‘.
