This mat. arrorilii‘ig to those who have usmt it. and who are not even res- idents of Alberta. is the equal of any of the coal imported from the Initial States. and has as well many qualities that place it above that ‘t'uel for domestic consump- tion. The freight rate of $6.75 per ton will make the Alberta product rust. appri‘iximately $14.00 any- where in Ontario, and as its burn- ing qualities are entirely satisfac- tory it. will be able to compete with l'niteil States coal at $15.00 a ton. 'l‘hose in Alberta who are in a position to know, are jubilant over the. idea of this test freight rate and claim it' they can once get their product on the Ontario mar- ket. in time it will almost eliminate l'nitetl States anthracite. The Western coal committee has. pled- gml itself that none but the best of Alberta coal will come East, and this being the case their conten- tions will be put to the test. and a fair comparison made between the two fuels. lery man who gets into an ac- ('idvnt. 1s nut. careless by any means, but \W‘ Hunk that The Globe’s arâ€" ticle has pruven that the accidents happen when caution is discarded.

She pictured the Chinese child- ren singing "0 Spirit save us” and going on their pitiable pilgrimages some travellng for six weeks with pebbles in their shoes and with little food; some going on hands and knees, some with bound feetâ€"- searching for peace. Their relig- ions lack the essential thingâ€"The. Christ. Ours is a universal mesâ€" sage to be carried to the ends of the earth. If the Christian message. had gone Eastward instead of westward. would it have reached us yet? Tens of thousands of Chinese daughters face such a fate. They have no laws regarding child and women labor. Mrs. Longley pictured a nine- year-old Chinese girl begging for riceâ€"poor clothing. dirty, unat- tractiveâ€"representing so many of that class. In the Master’s sight they are just as precious as Canadian girl. Up to the age of twelve there are lots of girl begâ€" gars. What happens them after that? They are bought for slaves and sold to the red light district for fifty cents. In this district the average life is two and one half years.

Now a young girl can teach school with military brigands passing. They hear the burden and persecution as well. Is it the prayer of .the home church that enables them to do this?
