Nigeria. which is in Western Africa, lies between the Cam- union and Dahomey, and is div- ided into Northern and Southern Nigeria. It became a British pro- tertorate in 1887, and is under im- perial legislation. The Niger river, {mm which it receives its name, is the principal stream. Northern Ni- gi'l‘lii has an area of 256,000 square miles, and its trade, formerly in the hands of Tripoli Arabs, consists of ruhlwr. ebony and other woods, os- trirh feathers, shea butter and sil- w-r. Industrial schools have been establishing hy the missionaries. Southern Nigeria comprises the rulony and protectorate of that name. The capital of Northen Ni- L'O'l'ltl is Zunheru and of Southern Nigeria. Lagos. Both places have :1 population of approximately 8.000. Nigeria lies directly north of the «ml! of Guinea in about 10 degrees Nurth latitude. In the course of his address, Mr. l'eliuork likened the British and foreign Bible Society to a radio broadcasting station to which China, Japan and the islands of the sea "listened in” in 568 different lan- guages, All down the years. this sneiety has been printing the bible for distribution. and any missionary who reduces a language to writing, is Sllpplil‘d with as many COpiPS as he ran use. ’l‘his yvar is thn 40ml) anniversary of the) printing of William Tyndall's Nuw 'l‘vstament. in tlw English lan- guagr. llm sprakvr said. clhmvsv‘ amnion. who in 1885 with his mom was massacred by treach- o-rnns trihvsmvn.

We had a few minutes‘ conversa- tion on Saturday last with Mr. James BOgle. formerly of this town but for the past eight years of Major, Sask., and were sorry to learn that crops this year in his district, where many ex-Durhamites have settled, were none too good owing to lack of rain. Mr. Bogle came east in response to a telegram telling him of the serious illness of his father, Mr. John Bogle of Varney, who has been confined to his home for the past five or six weeks with stomach trouble, from which he has been a sufferer for over twenty years. We were pleased to learn, however, that he is recovering nicely, and while Mr. Bogle would have liked to have remained in the East for a few months, his father’s condition showed such improvement that he left for his western home again on Tuesday. Though together only an hour or so. Mr. Bugle and the writer exchanged many reminis- cences, and we were both very busy asking and answering questions. floor crops Reported Die to Lack of Moisture at Proper PoriOd. Since going West.

Speaking of cron conditions in his district, Mr. Bogle said that the crop this year was ver poor. Conditions in the spring loo ed favorable, but from the latter part of May to well on into July, the lack of rainfall played havoc with spring expecta- tions. and the result was that some would not even have their seed. In true Western style, however. Mr. Bogle says that the outlook for a humber crop in 1926 is good. and he is very optimistic for the future.

JOHN McDONALD, SR., DIED SUDDENLY Mr. John McDonald, a lifelong res- ident of Bentinck Township, died in Durham Red Cross Hospital about 7:30 Friday morning last, in his 70th year. Mr. McDonald was admitted to the hospital on the Monday pre- vious suffering from strangulated hernia, and as a last resort, under- went an emergency operation in the hope that his life might be saved. From the first, however, lit- tle or no how was held out for re- covery, and he passed away early Friday morning. Garden Lapp of Chatham. Prem- ier of the Older Boys’ Parliament, will be in Durham 0n the 5th of Feb- ruary and will deliver an address at a public meeting. the particulars of which will be announcefl later.

A Detroit man was awarded a ver- diet of six cents by a jury against the gay Lothario who had alienated his wife’s affection. There’s a lot of conjugal afl'ection worth about six cents judging by the numerous di- vorce cases in the United States. Mr. Schenk is to be congratulated on his enterprise in installing this modern system of refrigeration “hich will cost him considerable money but which is expected to be a vast improvement over the meth- ods used in the past. Mr. McDonald’s ailment goes back thirteen years when he was kicked by a horse from the effects of which he developed hernia, which got gradually worse until during the past three or four years, it gave him a lot of trouble, terminating finally in his death. The late John McDonald was born on the laim on which he. spent all the wars of his life, Lot 38, Conces- sinn 3 W (:R Bentinck in 1865, and “as a son of the late M1. and Mrs. James McDonald. With the excep- tion of three fall seasons spent in the West, he has always resided in Bentinek and was a man held in the highest esteem by his neighbors and friends. On July 12, 1887, he was married to Miss Mary J. Smith, Bentinck, who with two sons, John and William, and one daughter, Miss Mary, all living on the homestead, survive. Besides his immeidate family, he is survivml by two brothers and four sisters: James. at Disley, Sask.; Alex.; Mrs. Crockett (Janet) and El- izabeth, who at one time was post- mistress at Aberdeen, residing at Langdon. North Dakota; Mrs. Mc- Intosh (Ellen). Cahri, Sask.; and Mrs. James Ross (Annie) in Oregon. Mr. McDonald was a member of the Sons of Scotland, was a Conser- vative in politics, and in religion a Presbyterian, being at one time on the board of managers of Burns’ Church Rockv Saugeen. The funeral from his late resi- dence on Monday was largely at- tended. Interment, was made in Durham cemetery. the services at the house and grave being cnnduct- ml by his pastnr.

MODERN COOLING SYSTEM FOR LOCAL SHOP E. J. Schenk Installing Up-to-Date Refrigerator For Meat Cooling Purposes. A degree of mystery surrounds the death last week of nine head of cattle belonging to R. R. Kinnell of fiwinton Park in Proton Town- ship. The animals all died within a couple of days from no apparent cause. At first that old bugaboo, sweet clover. was blamed, but it is learned that while the animals had eaten some of this feed; it was so little that there is no suspicion that this was the cause of loss. A sam- ple of blood has been forwarded to Toronto for analysis, and this an- alytical report will be awaited with much interest by the farmers of the district. The annual meeting of the Dur- ham Baptist Church was held in the church Tuesday evening, Jan- uary 13, 1925, and a good number of the church members were present. Tea was served in the school room from 6.30 to 8 o’clock after which all adjourned to the main edifice of the church where the business of the ‘year_ was performed.

Largo Congregation lard Goad Adé drcu on This Important Subject. Mr. Horne thought the idea of or- ganic union fundamentally wrong. Despite arguments to the contrary, there was no place in the New Tes- tament where nrganic church union was advocated. The speaker dealt at length on the different stages in- to which the church union cam- paign had been diyided. _ ANTI CHURCH UNIONIST SPOKE ON SUNDAY Tho. “concroto” stago was tho noxt ono dealt with. This tho speakor al- so called the “coorcivo” stage he- causo it was horo that. tho famous “enabling bill” was framod and pro- scntod to tho various provincial log- islaturos. Spoaking plainly. tho ohjoct of this bill was to givo tho l'nion Committoo tho powor to do what it could not do logally as the law stood, Whilo this hill had got through tho logislaturos in Manitoba, Saskatchowan and Alhorta. it. was hold up by tho Ontario Govorumont, and has not yot. passml in this pro- Vinco. Tho samo hill. with minor altorations was thou placod liotoro tho Dominion Govornmout. hut tho. bill that passod was an altogothor difl'oront moasuro than tho ono askod for. By this Act, tho consummation of church union was dolorrod for six months until .luno to that all churchos might haw amplo oppor- tunity to volo. In tho “onahling hill" as pi‘osontod to tho logislaturos, tho spoakor said that this was tho first. timo any dotinitiou of what, tho torms of church union woro to ho was announcod. To him it was a lgroat shock whou ho loarnod that tho consont of tho poopli- had lioon ahandonod and a principlo of com- pulsion by forco substitutml. Sinoo tho making known of tho principlos of church union. a good many Pros- hytorians had chauaocl thoir minds. From the ideal stage, rhurch un- ion passed to the “practical" stage. In this stage the eeonomir phase of the situation was played on. but no attempt was made to iii-line what Church l‘nion was going to he. Votes were taken on this question in 1911 and 1915. the latter voting showing an increased anti-union vote of The movement began. he said. in the “ideal” stage. Like many other theories. that of one great Protes- tant Church. was not practical. He referred to the action of the loner- al Assembly in ratifying union. and said that. this was one of the points on which all Presbyterians could not agree.
