Kim’ Chang Sik, a Methodist minister and Korea’s tirst ordained Protestant minister, said, in part: “Under these various ap- pointments I have moved ten times; have been privileged to enter new territory where there were no Christians and there helped raise up a Christian church in 48 places; have been priv- ileged to preach the gospel in 125 difl'erent centres, and have gone as a visitor to about 1:5 other places and preached. Alto- gether I have travelled on foot and have preached at 170 difl‘er- ent centres where churches have been organized. I have visited nearly all of our Methodist churches in Korea. In all this I have been privileged to work for the church for thirty years without having been once sick, and have never missed a Sunday service in all these years : for which I thank my God.” SANIHII' SUNDAR SINGH PLANNED 'I‘() BE BACK IN INDIA for .-\ugu.~+l m' Seplvmber after an oxtvnsiw visit in Europe.

Forest. discovered a deer lying helpless by the roadside. They returned home and told their father. who went. to the exhausted animal, loaded it into a Sleigh and took it to his barn. where it. has since remained. It had probably strayed from the marsh and had been chased by dogs until worn out. it had thrown itself on a snowbank to die. A kinder fate was, however. in store and the animal now seems content to be numbered with Mr. Robinson’s farm stock and the family are endeavoring to make a pet of it. Dr. Allen reported the occurrence to the Department of Game and Fisheriesand received permission for Mr. Robinson to keep the deer until December 31, 1923. If the animal is then alive and happy the permission will be renewed. Mr. Robinson is to be commended on his humane action in this incident. From the Hansard report of March 6 we notice our member, Mr. Rich- ardson, has been putting in a plea in the interest of farmers, looking hopefully forward to the establish- ment of a system of rural mziil tie- livery. He says: “This, I believe. would probably be a very expunsiw undertaking and one the Department could not enter on conwletely at the beginning; yet some experimetal steps might be taken in order to find out what the cost would be in exâ€" tending it. over the whole country. I believe that at. any rate we should take. some measures to show our disapprohatitm of the practice of erecting costly post otl‘iees, far more costly than the remiirements war- rant.” Millinm'y Openings advertised for Friday and Saturday nf last \wek at Mm'luck‘s. lrvlaml‘s aml Miss Dick's were all well patronizml and llw ladies worn plvasml with the. magni- ficent diwlays in all three places. William Willis, of the firm of Caldwell Willis, Dauphin, Mani- toba, met with a bad accident Sat- urday night at their stables. While arranging bedding for a horse, the animal became frightened and kick- ed Mr. Willis on the right .leg, breaking his thigh, knocking him down and tramping-on his head and face, and otherwise injuring him be- fore he could be rescued. Dr. Cul- bertson was at once notified and had him removed to the hospital where he is being cared for: [On Monday night a large audience assembled in the Town Hall to dis- cuss a proposition from Mr. William Broomall relative to the building and Operating of a cream separator factory. Broomall proposed to in- vest $15,000 in a plant and stock and asked‘the town to supplement this by a free site, tax exemption for ten years and a loan of $7,000, re- payable at $1.000 a year after the third year.

He also claimed that the Clerk and Municipal Council werer eSponsible in some way for his celibacy.

A refusal to pay taxes was not construed by the judge as an evi- dence of insanityâ€"under present conditionsâ€"and he wanted more facts as to the dangerous nature of the malady. The coat claim was not so easily brushed aside, and when evidence was given that the accused had threatened that he would as soon shoot the whole dâ€"â€"â€"d Council as he would a mad dog, that clinch- ed the argument and he was taken on a little holiday jaunt to Owen Sound where more evidence of a disordered mind was given on Mon- day and it was decided that medical treatment in some public institu- tion was necessary.
