At St. Augustine there is mother Club with a large mentherehip, the meetings being held. with the kind permission of Rev.

Mr. Armstrong is located at Snowflake, Man., and Le evidently- a believer in the Great Went, He writes : "We are having mild weather at present There is any amount of snow on the ground. so we should have a good crop this year, as there will be plenty of moisture in the ground.
