H. O’Neill asserted in an inspiring address in St. Stephen's Church last Friday evening when he spoke for the Bible Society of which he is gen­ eral secretary in Canada. He chose for his text the words "And the word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly.” Even in the early church the Bible was translated in other languages the speaker said. “We have the Bible and it is a challenge to us to send it to those who have not. Without the work of the Bible Soc­ iety in printing Bibles in so many foreign languages the missionary work of all churches would be greatly handicapped,” At the annual meeting of the Gorrie branch of the Bible Society the fol­ lowing canvassers were appointed for this district: Con. 1 and 2, Mrs. Glad Edgar; Cons. 4 and 5, Mrs. Russel Adams; Cons. 6 and 7, Mrs. Willard Peel; Cons. 8 and 9, Mrs. Ken Hastie; Cons. 10 and 11, Mrs. Bruce Bennett; Cons. 12 and 13, Mrs. Ted Newton; Cons. 14 and 15, Mrs. Alec Taylor, Leading outdoors authority King Whyte writes— "Somethingfor Everyone?* “It has been my good fortune io have fished and hunted from British Columbia to Newfoundland—from the far north to the Gulf of California and central Mexico . . .
