At. twenty-two he heard of the tearhing of Christ. and immed- iately he began to study the Bible. It. was his patriotism that caused him to embrance Christianity.

The choir received favorable comment, and a vote of thanks and appreciation was tendered. The annual Congregation Meeting of Knox [Tnited church was held in the church on Monday evening, April 19. The ladies of the congre- gation served suiiper, after which the meeting was opened by the Pastor. Mr. C. Bamage acted as sec- retary. The minutes of the pre- vious meeting were adopted, and the reports of the various organiza- tions were also adopted. The contribution towards mis- sions was one of the largest and most generous in the history of the church.
