The attendance was fairly good, the instrument was good and the pic- tures were well thrown on the screen. The machine was one of the steadiest we have seen. and there is little or none of the flickering so often wit- nessed. A full explanation of the dif- fer-en t scenes would add to the interest of the entertainment. but Mr. Spears is modest and avoids public speaking. The Counterfeiters and Kathleen Ma- vourneen were good numbers. CONSTABLE CARSON has in his pos- session a walking stick that has con- nected with it perhaps the most unique history of anything of its kind in the country. The stick, which is made of black oak, is part of the timbers of an old-time salt water ship, the “Beaver” which was wrecked in the unlucky thirteenth year of its existence in the J nan de Fuca. straits, in the year 1836, after making a teinpestnous voyage around the "Horn" from the old coon: trv.

DID SEO( "1| It is gratifying to note that the at contributions for missions are larger 2y i than ever before in the history of the ie.coxigi’egation, except when special [‘5 { donations were made. m Rev. Mr. Bioe gave a very kindly and humerous address during the evening which greatly added to the enjoyment of the gathering. No wonder. for he was 'a happy man. For the cause of his genial smile and exhuberant flow of soul see elsewhere in this paper. It was a boy. On account of the invasion and con- sequent delinutzuion of the church property by the Canadian Pacific Railway, the funds of the church were increased by some $400, which the congregation unanimously voted should be set aside for the purpose of providing at an early date a pipe organ for the church. This is a move in the right direction, for the present organ has served its day and genera- tion faithfully, and it is time it was given a. more humble position ac cord- ing to its diminishing capacity. The pastor, the managers, and all secretaries and officers no less than the whole body of the members may be congratulated on the excellent showing. Itisasure index of peace and harmony and progress and an indication of better things to come. In the evening some of the excellent household qualities . of the ladies came prominently to the front. Ev erybody was pleased, everybody sang the praises of the music, the musicians, the waiters, the cooks and especially the diners. To the young men need- ing wives the excellence of the cooking was a. prime recommendation for the young ladies. Doubtless the pastor will be kept b'usy tying knots and re- ceiving handsome fees for the service during the year. It is to be hoped so. Nothing so much proves that people love one another. That is desirable. The usual congratulatory handshak- ing over another suc 1 year of congregational work, nancial and otherwise, wasfione 1n the Presbyteri- an church last Monday afternoon and¢ evening. The bqiness meeting was held 1n the afternoon and the usual social tea and the inevitable “few words” from some of the members of the congregation and an apreciative address from the Rev” Mr. Bice all materialized in the evening. Con- sidering’t-he blustering winter weather both meetings were mrgely attended, thus showing a deep and continued interest in the work of the church by many of the members and adherents. A neatly printed booklet containing the reports of the various organiza- tions and societ1es by means of which the active work of the church finds expression, was submitted at the bus- iness meeting and each report in turn, on account of the excellent showing, received the unqualified endorsement and commendation of the meeting. It was felt during the year, that owing to the stringency in the financial world that there might be some dan- ger of deficits in the accounts here and there, but without exveption every branch of the church work came out with a unnfnrtahle. balance on the right. side.

We met with a generous response, over $700 being paid 1n. We thank all who attended to our request, but there 18 still a large amount of our money lying round the country and we must have it. We have placed a few of our accqmts in other hands, as some of our read- ers will soon learn. Others will go in about the first week in Feb- ruary if not previously settled. It costs us money to collect and we would honestly prefer a dollar a year paid direct to us rather than I a dollar and a half through our, collectors. If those who have not already paid will send us a dollar a year for arrears and a dollar for 1908 we will accept it from all whose accounts are. not in the colâ€" lectnr’s hands.
